Lu Xinghe, who had just cleaned the house briefly, walked out of the house. He put the rag on the wooden railing in front of him, looked at Chu Yue and asked, "Yueyue, what did you spread?"
"Insect repellent powder, there are a lot of mosquitoes here, sprinkle some and they won't dare to come near." After spreading the powder, she closed the bottle stopper again, "I'm in a hurry today. I'll go to the hospital tomorrow and I'll add some repellent." If you hang the mosquito medicine package in the courtyard, there will be fewer mosquitoes.”
Lu Xinghe smiled, stepped forward, took her hand and sat down on the futon.
"Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired." Chu Yue held her chin in her hands and looked at him with a smile, "I didn't do anything, how could I be tired?"
Lu Xinghe pursed his lips slightly.
"Do you have any thoughts about our marriage?"
Chu Yue shook her head.
"My husband, just look at the arrangements. I believe you."
"Where's the wedding date?" Lu Xinghe asked again.
Chu Yue thought for a while, "I don't know how to count the days. I'll ask Master when the time comes."
"good."
While the two were chatting, Ningdong and Heimu came back.
Heimu held the quilt in his hands, while Ningdong held the food box in his hands.
She placed the food box on the table.
"Princess Princess, would you like a servant to serve you later?"
"No need, put down the food and wine, and you and Hei Mu will go and have a rest."
"Okay, then we won't disturb the princess and uncle."
She took out the food and wine from the food box, spread out the bedding that Kuromu was holding, and then left the main courtyard with Kuromu.
Chu Yue poured good wine for herself and Lu Xinghe, raised her glasses and looked at him.
"Congratulations, sir, for being named on the gold list."
Lu Xinghe picked up the wine glass in front of him and clinked it with her, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Thank you for all these years."
Chu Yue smiled sheepishly, raised her head and drank the wine in the glass.
The two chatted while drinking, from when Chu Yue arrived in Banpo Village, to the things they had experienced together, and then Chu Yue complained about Lu Xinghe not contacting his family for two years, and finally to what happened recently.
While she was drinking, she was chattering away under the influence of her drunkenness. Lu Xinghe smiled fondly and listened patiently to her words, saying something in response from time to time.
As Chu Yue talked, she fell drunk on the wine table.
Lu Xinghe had quick eyes and quick hands. The moment Chu Yue's head was about to hit the table, he reached out to hold her cheek, then stood up and hugged her into the house.
After placing Chu Yue on the bed, Lu Xinghe went outside the house.
He stood in front of the house with his hands folded, looking up at the crescent moon in the sky, his deep eyes as deep as an ancient well.
"I don't know if this is right or wrong?"
Regardless, their relationship is now public.
From now on, he will do his best to protect her.
…
The next day, when Chu Yue woke up, Lu Xinghe had already woken up, lit a small stove in front of the house, and cooked a small pot of porridge.
"Ms. sir."
After being drunk last night, her head still hurt when she woke up in the morning. Chu Yue squinted her eyes, covered her head and shouted.
Lu Xinghe heard the sound and hurriedly entered the room. He also poured a glass of water from the table and walked towards Chu Yue.
"Get up and drink a glass of water first. I burned it all morning, and it's just warm enough to drink now."
Chu Yue hummed, and Lu Xinghe lifted her up, held her in his arms, and fed her water as if taking care of a child.
After drinking a glass of water, Chu Yue's head became much clearer, and she looked outside the house.
"Ms. sir, what time is it?"
"Chen hour has just passed." Lu Xinghe replied quietly.
Chu Yue raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Is it so late?"
Lu Xinghe hummed.
"After all, Doctor Wu is watching over you in the hospital, so you don't need to worry. Let's have breakfast first. I'll make porridge for you."
After he finished speaking, he helped Chu Yue sit on the bedside, got up and served her porridge.
Looking at his back, Chu Yue smiled.
"Ms. sir, seeing you so busy, it feels like we are back when we were in Banpo Village."
Lu Xinghe asked while serving porridge, "Were you happy at that time?"
Chu Yue nodded without thinking and said, "The conditions at home at that time were not as good as now, but they were indeed the happiest days for me. The villagers were honest, life was simple, and it was lively when the whole family was together. It's a pity to live like that. Can not go back."
Lu Xinghe paused for a moment, recalling the scene at that time in his mind.
At that time, she would be very sensible and handle things at home so that he could study in peace.
He just thought she would like her current life better.
"sorry."
Chu Yue looked at him with some surprise.
"Why did my husband tell me I'm sorry?"
"I have never understood your true thoughts before." After Lu Xinghe filled the porridge, he took the small pot of porridge down from the small stove.
"That's what you're talking about." Chu Yue stepped off the bed with her shoes on and walked toward the table, "My husband, there's no need to say sorry to me. Although I like that kind of life, people can't always stay the same. I will yearn for life outside, and it’s good now, at least I’ve seen a broader world.”
Lu Xinghe pursed his lips and smiled, carrying the porridge to the table.
"Then when we get older in the future, we will renovate the house in Banpo Village and live back. As for the children, they can be wherever they want. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
Chu Yue glanced at him shyly and muttered, "You haven't even written your horoscope yet, where did the children come from?"
"Sooner or later."
After Lu Xinghe finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to stir the porridge bowl in front of him to let it cool down quickly.
Chu Yue folded her hands on the table and rested her chin on the back of her hands. She looked at Lu Xinghe's slender fingers holding the handle of the spoon to stir the porridge, which was pleasing to the eye.
Lu Xinghe occasionally glanced at the little girl in front of him, his eyes full of smiles.
After a moment, Lu Xinghe pushed the porridge in front of her.
"The temperature should be almost there, you have a taste."
Chu Yue nodded, picked up the spoon, scooped out the porridge and put it into her mouth.
The rice porridge is sweet, which is perfect for Chu Yue who was drunk all night and didn't eat well last night.
"My husband's porridge is very good."
Lu Xinghe looked at her with a pair of dark eyes, "Eat more if you like. There should be half a bowl in the small pot outside."
Chu Yue nodded and asked while eating, "Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten."
Chu Yue was eating porridge and suddenly looked up at Lu Xinghe.
"When did your husband start going to the Imperial College to take office?"
"There's no rush. Your Majesty has given me a month to familiarize myself with the affairs of the Imperial College. After one month, I will have to take office every day. I'm afraid I won't have much time to spend with you by then."
Chu Yue smiled.
"It's okay. We are all in the capital now. We are busy during the day, so we will definitely see you sooner or later."
Looking at the little girl's crooked eyebrows, Lu Xinghe wanted to reach out and rub her head.
But thinking that she was eating, he held back.
"Yueyue is right, we will definitely see you sooner or later."
