Drunk Bamboo

"Get up, Xie Yuzhu, get up, the sun is shining on your butt." Hua Qinfeng walked into the room holding a lunch box and saw Xie Yuzhu still curled up in bed and sleeping soundly.

He put the food box on the table first, then came to the bed, bent down, and gently pulled away the quilt covering her head.

Her white face was revealed, wrapped in long black hair, and was whiter and tenderer than a porcelain doll.

Hua Qinfeng lowered his voice and spoke with the patience of coaxing a child, even though he had never coaxed a child before and had never used such patience on anyone before.

"Why are you still sleeping in bed?"

"Don't make noise... let me sleep a little longer..." The voice was hoarse, soft, and nasal, as if she was acting coquettishly.

I picked up the pillow and placed her little head on it, intending to let her take a nap for a while.

"Why do you like to sleep so much? We slept together last night. I practiced swordplay for an hour in the early morning and came back from the morning court, but you were still sleeping."

"Go and practice for another hour, and wake me up when you come back..." Xie Yuzhu did not open her eyes. She grabbed the pillow that Hua Qinfeng had just put down with one hand and continued to sleep.

"No, the tofu pudding from Grandma Wang's house will be cold, and it won't taste good if it's cold." He gently held up her upper body and stroked her long hair with his big hands to wake her up.

"It's cold and then hot again..." He opened his eyes reluctantly.

It seems that if she is not allowed to get up, she really intends to sleep for another hour.

He pulled some clothes from the closet beside him, lifted the quilt, and put the clothes on her.

As soon as the quilt was removed, the cold immediately woke her up and she couldn't help but wrap herself in her coat.

"It's almost the Shangsi Festival on March 3rd, and the weather is getting warmer. You can't sleep so late anymore. Your back injury is almost healed, so you should get up and exercise together."

Hua Qinfeng said this as he helped her put on her clothes.

Their movements were natural, not pretentious or awkward, just like an ordinary couple.

But they have only slept in one bed so far and have not gone any further.

"What festival is Shangsi Festival?" Xie Yuzhu became interested.

"You don't know about Shangsi Festival? Doesn't Nanmi celebrate Shangsi Festival?" he asked curiously.

After putting on her clothes, Xie Yuzhu was completely awake. She put on her shoes and went into the ear room to wash up.

"I am in poor health, and I stay in my room almost all day long. I can't even leave the house. Except for major festivals like New Year's Eve and Mid-Autumn Festival, I eat alone in my room."

While Xie Yuzhu was washing up, Hua Qinfeng opened the lunch box and put out steaming tofu pudding, buns, eggs and side dishes.

When I heard Xie Yuzhu say that she was eating alone, I felt empty inside.

"Shangsi Festival is also called Girls' Day. People go out for spring outings and drink wine by the water. Girls also wear beautiful clothes, dance and sing. It is also a day for men and women to express their love. Anyway, it is a very lively day."

Xie Yuzhu washed her face and tied up her long hair with a hairpin, looking fresh and clean.

Hua Qinfeng likes her simple look.

Put the dishes in front of her.

"How come Your Highness knows so much about Girls' Day? Your Highness doesn't look like someone who knows much about this kind of festival?" Xie Yuzhu took a sip of tofu pudding, and warmth instantly flowed through her body.

"It was back when we were in the western frontier. Every Shangsi Festival, the fourth girl would be so happy and shout that everyone knew it." Hua Qinfeng picked up some food for her, not paying attention to the fourth girl in his mouth.

"Your Highness, you are living a good life in the western frontier, with beautiful women by your side." Xie Yuzhu raised her eyebrows and looked at him meaningfully.

"Let's not talk about that girl." Hua Qinfeng said this in passing, obviously not wanting to mention her.

"Shangsi Festival sounds very interesting." Xie Yuzhu's thoughts returned to Shangsi Festival.

Seeing that she was interested, Hua Qinfeng made a suggestion.

"Then let's go out for an outing together on Shangsi Festival? You've been lying in bed for more than half a month, so it's a good time to go out and walk around."

"Really?" Xie Yuzhu's eyes lit up.

"There's nothing to lie to you about. If you want to go out for a walk, I'll take you out of the house after you finish eating tofu pudding." Hua Qinfeng patted his chest.

“The tofu puffs are so delicious!”

"If you like it, I'll bring it to you after court every day."

"Your Highness, you are so kind!" Xie Yuzhu praised generously.

"Letting you leave the house is a good thing for you? Xie Yuzhu, your requirements are really not high." Hua Qinfeng said casually.

"Being ordinary is happiness. If I had higher requirements, the one who would marry me might be my eldest sister or second sister." She said while eating, answering very seriously.

"I have a bad reputation, so it's normal that your elder sister and second sister are unwilling to marry me. But what about you, Xie Yuzhu, why are you willing to marry me?" His eyes stared.

"A person who defends his country and his people is admirable. If a general is not strong, how can he fight and repel the enemy?" Xie Yuzhu said with a smile, "In the end, I am smart and courageous enough. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

admire?!

worship?!

"You mean, you admired and worshipped me before you even met me?" Hua Qinfeng was extremely excited, as if he had discovered a new martial arts move.

"Ah."

Xie Yuzhu: I admire and respect the soldiers in the People's Liberation Army.

"So, you married me because you admired and worshipped me! It was not because of our father's arrangement, nor because your elder sister and second sister were unwilling to marry me! Xie Yuzhu, you were willing to marry me!" Hua Qinfeng leaned forward, his eyes shining.

"Yes." Xie Yuzhu nodded.

You are right, she married here voluntarily. She persuaded the Xie family and volunteered to marry here.

"You are marrying me voluntarily!" Hua Qinfeng was excited and confirmed again.

Xie Yuzhu nodded blankly.

Puzzled, he asked, "My Lord, what's wrong with you?"

His dark eyes sparkled: "You can call me by my name. I know you've called me by my name before."

With a face full of question marks, he tried to call out, "Hua Qinfeng?"

"Hahahaha!" He suddenly stood up and burst into laughter.

"Hua Qinfeng, someone hit you on the head while you were in court, right?" Xie Yuzhu dropped a half-eaten bun on the table.

"Ha ha……"

He just kept laughing in the room, sometimes sitting down to look at her, sometimes standing up and walking a few steps.

Xie Yuzhu was busy eating and had no time to pay attention.

"I'm done eating, are you still going out shopping?"

He was quiet for a while, looked at her, and laughed again: "Go! Of course! Hahahaha..."

Xie Yuzhu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Stop laughing. If you keep laughing, I'll poison your mouth with poison powder."

"I'm not laughing anymore, I'm not laughing anymore, I'm just too happy!"

"I'll go call Yunling and Baiguo to go shopping together." Not intending to pay attention to the silly man in front of her, Xie Yuzhu turned her head and left.

"Okay, okay, as long as you are happy."

"Remember to bring silver." He added.

"Hahaha!"

The wild laughter started from behind again, and Xie Yuzhu couldn't help it and covered her ears.

A few people were preparing to go out shopping, but before they reached the door, a tender red figure rushed in.

"Brother Feng! Brother Feng!"

A beautiful woman with long flowing hair, big eyes and long eyelashes ran straight towards Hua Qinfeng, jumping and hanging on him.

"I finally found you, Brother Feng! You must save me. Daddy doesn't love me anymore. He doesn't want me anymore! Daddy wants me to marry that cripple. He doesn't want me anymore... Brother Feng... You can't abandon me, Brother Feng!"
