Chapter 23 I Like Qingqing So Much

On the day of the Little New Year, Jing Zhan entered the valley covered in snow, followed by several carriages.

"Hey, Your Highness the Crown Prince, why are you here?" Meng Ziqian was wandering around with nothing to do, and when he saw Jing Zhan coming in, he asked.

"I'm here to deliver New Year's goods." Jing Zhan was also a little surprised to see him. "I heard from the owner of Baiweizhai that you left Beijing. So you came here."

"It was Yu Heguang who called me here in a hurry."

Jing Zhan laughed and asked, "Where did he go?"

"He's accompanying his sweetheart."

Jing Zhan looked at Zi Ling who was beside him, "Zi Ling, go call your master over. I have something to discuss with him."

"Yes."

Jing Zhan was waiting in the study, and after a while Yu Tongchen came over.

"Why are you here?"

"Didn't I tell you I'd send you New Year's gifts?"

"I haven't seen you deliver it so early in previous years."

Jing Zhan said seriously, "Jing Yu invited Shu Yan to dinner outside. Madam Shu suspected that Shu Yan had someone else outside, so she asked Shu Shiyi to go find Shu Yan."

"Jingyu has always coveted the famous Shu Shiyi, but Shu Yan sided with Jingyu on the surface, but secretly supported Jinghe. He planned to let Shu Shiyi marry Jinghe and become the third prince's consort."

"In order to calm Jingyu down, Shu Yan told Jingyu that the eldest daughter in the family was more beautiful and gave Jingyu the portrait."

Jingyu went back that day to ask for an imperial decree, asking Emperor Cheng to grant him a marriage with Shu Shiyu, but Jingzhan stopped him.

Yu Tongchen's face turned cold.

The person he carefully protected was treated by Shu Yan as a commodity and a chess piece that could be given away at any time.

"You're too slow."

Jing Zhan was helpless. The forces in the court were intertwined and intertwined. How could they be cleared in a day or two? In addition, although his father made him the crown prince, he also gave a lot of power to other princes, and their attitudes were unclear.

This is also the reason why the forces in the DPRK are divided into many factions.

They were just betting on which of the many princes would be able to ascend the throne in the end and win the honor of being the emperor's follower.

"You tell him, I stand with you."

Emperor Cheng had no idea about the relationship between Yu Tongchen and Jing Zhan.

"Why did you change your mind?"

"No more nagging. They have touched my bottom line." Yu Tongchen stood up. "Shu Yan stays here. She will solve the problem herself. You have to ensure that the Censorate and the Dali Temple really take action."

She should find a way to seek help.

"Also, there was a heavy snowstorm in Lingfeng County this year, and many people were frostbitten. The palace is running low on medicinal materials."

Yu Tongchen took out a token from the shelf and said, "You can mobilize all the medicinal materials in Baicaotang."

"Thank you, cousin."

Yu Tongchen glanced at him and didn't respond.

Jing Zhan sat quietly for a while, watching him disappear into the study.

Yu Tongchen's mother is his father's sister. The previous emperor's harem was in chaos and Emperor Cheng had a difficult childhood. It was Yu Tongchen's mother who protected him amid the power struggle.

She was the only warmth and comfort that Emperor Cheng had during his youth.

Later, Yu Tongchen's mother was murdered by Ma, who was a noble concubine at the time. She eventually escaped from the palace but accidentally forgot her identity.

She moved to many places and entered the mansion of Duke Yu, became his concubine, and gave birth to Yu Tongchen.

She was killed by Lady Mo, the wife of the Duke, when Yu Tongchen was six years old. Yu Tongchen endured the humiliation, plotted secretly, and finally overthrew the Duke Yu's Mansion.

When Yu Tongchen was twelve years old, Emperor Cheng met him and eventually learned that his mother was his eldest sister.

It was a disgrace to the royal family that the elder sister of a ruler became someone else's concubine. The empress dowager, who was oppressing Emperor Cheng, did not allow him to recognize his sister.

Emperor Cheng felt deeply guilty for not finding his elder sister earlier, so he kept compensating Yu Tongchen.

But at that time, Yu Tongchen had already lost his heart.

Now Emperor Cheng has eliminated the Queen Mother's power that interfered in state affairs, and Yu Tongchen has also semi-hidden in the Divine Doctor Valley.

Before going to find Shu Shiyu, Yu Tongchen relaxed his expression.

Shu Shiyu saw him coming in, took his hand and put the braided thing into his hand, "I didn't braid a tassel today, I braided a blessing knot."

"It looks good." Yu Tongchen held her in his arms and kissed her cheek, "My dear, the prince is here today."

"Prince?"

"It was Li Zhan who came last time. Actually, his name is Jing Zhan. He said that Shu Yan wanted to send you to the Second Prince's Mansion."

Shu Shiyu's eyes were a little cold and his fingers tightened.

"Qingqing, do you want my help?" Yu Tongchen gently pried her hands apart.

"I want to do it myself. I want to get back everything they owe me and my mother."

"Okay, I'm always here if you need me."

Shu Shiyu nodded, "Why do you have any connection with the prince?"

Yu Tongchen briefly told her about his life experience, "He helped me once, so I allowed him to keep his high position."

She kissed his cheek and said, "The road ahead is bright and beautiful, and I will accompany you."

"Ah."

"Is the prince still here?"

"He should have left. There was a lot of snow this year, and many places were hit by snowstorms. He should be very busy now."

"Will my body be able to leave the valley next year?"

"Look after it carefully, it's okay."

"I want to leave the valley next summer. I don't want to wait any longer. I can't stand seeing them living so comfortably. I want to see them suffer with my own eyes."

Two years is too long.

"I'll accompany you."

Shu Shiyu looked at the seriousness in his eyes and nodded, "Yes."

Yu Tongchen tied the lucky knot in his hand around her waist, "Qingqing, can you make another one for me? I want the same one."

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Shu Shiyu collected his thoughts and started to weave the knot seriously.

After finishing the editing, Shu Shiyu compared it with the one around his waist.

"I want you to tie it for me."

"Ah."

The bright red blessing knot was different from the color of his clothes and was particularly eye-catching.

"What New Year's gift do you want?"

Shu Shiyu hugged his neck and said, "I don't want to think about it. Whatever you prepare is fine."

"Okay, if you don't like it, don't be angry with me."

"I'm not angry with you. I'm already very happy that you gave me a gift."

"Qingqing has higher expectations of me. If you don't like the gift I prepared, you don't have to accept it."

"That's what you said."

"Yes, I said." Yu Tongchen kissed her lips, "With me, you can do whatever you want."

Shu Shiyu moved forward and kissed his lips, but he held her head and kissed her back.

"Well……"

Yu Tongchen looked at her blushing cheeks and gently stroked them with his fingertips. The soft touch of her lips reached his heart. The feeling of the kiss was so strange that he couldn't help but feel his fingertips trembling and his breathing becoming heavy.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a hint of wateriness appeared in her eyes, and her hazy eyes made people intoxicated.

After slightly separating their legs to give her time to breathe, Yu Tongchen kissed her again. His breath gradually became hotter. He kissed and bit her lips gently, and once again went deep into her entanglement.

When she touched his dark eyes, she felt a warm sensation in her heart and closed her eyes. Her hands, which had no place to rest, grabbed the knot she had tied around his waist.

Yu Tongchen stopped only after he kissed her until the corners of her eyes turned red, and then he hugged her to calm her breathing.

His voice was slightly hoarse as he whispered in her ear: "Qingqing, this time it took a little longer."

Shu Shiyu squeezed his hand, applying a little force, and said nothing.

Yu Tongchen took her hand and kissed her behind the ear.

The skin that was touched was extremely sensitive, and her eyelashes fluttered and her whole body trembled.

"Don't kiss there," she said fiercely.

Yu Tongchen turned to kiss her lips, "Okay, no more kissing."

Kiss later.
