letter of commitment

43.

"Sir, do you want to marry me?"

The hand holding the teacup tightened, as if enlightened, most of the wine was sober, Shen Qingshu had to think twice about a very common question, and then smiled at Mu Chu: "Why do you ask this?"

"Sir, don't want to do Tai Chi with me, have you thought about it?"

Mu Chu got to the point directly, but Shen Qingshu's long silence already explained everything.

"Always, sir."

Give hope briefly, and then give disappointment.

"It's fine for now."

Shen Qingshu lowered her eyebrows, she had never thought about this, she just lived in front of her eyes, their relationship, her identity, every step was difficult, how dare she think further ahead?

Mu Chu laughed suddenly, briefly and without warning, and said, "Very good? When someone asks, who am I, your student."

Shen Qingshu's pupils contracted, but Mu Chu held her face up eagerly, full of extravagant hopes, catching her erratic eyes, so Shen Qingshu had to look at her.

"I know, I'm very bad, ignorant, I like to play with my temper, and I always give you problems, but I also hope that when someone asks, you can tell the other party openly, sir, that I am your wife. But what is that?"

Mu Chu felt helpless and heartbroken. She met Shen Qingshu frankly, and she gave herself completely to her, but in return she said, this is my student, and when she said this, it seemed like She never hesitated, but whenever she asked about the topic between the two, she always avoided it.

From time to time, there were noisy noises outside, very lively, but the two inside the room were deathly quiet.

"Forget it, I'm forcing Mr. again."

Mu Chu lowered her hands. At this moment, the light in her eyes dimmed, and she felt very uncomfortable, but she still forced a smile on her face, and changed the subject:

"Actually, these are just a joke between me and my husband. How about it, can you be fooled?"

Shen Qingshu frowned. Mu Chu hadn't seen her like this for a long time. He said that the husband was slow, and he was also stupid. They got along well, so why did he break it?

"Come here, you smell like alcohol."

Mu Chu still laughed, speaking naturally, he had already walked to the cabinet, calling Shen Qingshu to go over, but tears fell when he turned his back to get the clothes, and wiped them calmly.

"Eh, I remember that Mr.'s clothes are clearly placed in this box,... Ah, I found it."

After she found out the change of clothes, she turned around to hand them to Shen Qingshu, but she was still unmoved, sitting there without getting up.

"Muchu, I really never thought about your marriage, or rather, I never thought about being married to you. It was so sudden. I...will you wait for me? Wait until I become stronger Let’s get married the day we no longer fear the secular world, okay?”

But Mu Chu shook his head, "Sir, why are you taking it seriously? It's really good now, but getting married will bind you and me. Come here quickly. It's getting late at night. Change your clothes and rest. It won't happen tomorrow." Do you still want to go to the palace?"

Mu Chu's understatement again made Shen Qingshu unable to tell the truth from the false. Was it true that he was fooled before and now?

After being dubious, she changed the clothes for him and then rested together. There was no more communication, but Shen Qingshu was sober all night, and the slight drunkenness had completely dissipated.

In the dark, watching Mu Chu's sleeping face, he felt a little regretful, and whispered: "In the future, I will let myself know more about you, your people, and your thoughts."

----------------

The sky was slightly bright, and the birds had already landed on the window sill and began to chirp.

Shen Qingshu got out of bed lightly, not disturbing the sleeping person, quickly cleaned himself up, went to the window, chased the birds away, closed the window, and returned to the bed to stare at the sleeping man. The people looked at it for a long time before opening the door and going out.

Perhaps it was too late last night, no one in Ling's house got up and moved, went to the gate, woke up the guards, and rode into the palace.

However, Shen Qingshu had no choice but to wait outside the hall before the morning court. After getting a notification from the internal officials, Zhao Qiaomu asked someone to take her to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to wait.

"My lord, please wait here, I will come over in the early morning pilgrimage."

"My father-in-law."

Shen Qingshu didn't go to the early court, so she naturally didn't know the time of the next court, it took several hours to wait, this Zhao Qiaomu didn't wait, but other people came.

"Princess, the Holy Majesty is really not inside."

The internal officials were eager to persuade, but they still couldn't stop the aggressive woman.

"Father!"

The woman shouted these two words as soon as she entered the door, but obviously the internal officials did not lie to her, and there was no one else in the hall except Shen Qingshu who looked surprised.

"Who are you, father?"

Shen Qingshu looked at the young woman in front of him, but her appearance and attire were dignified and elegant, and she was still in doubt. The inner officer who came with the woman shouted: "Bold, who are you? Your Royal Highness is still not saluting!"

Hearing this, Shen Qingshu hastily waved his sleeves and knelt down to bow: "I pay my respects to Your Royal Highness, Your Highness is a thousand years old."

The woman waved her hand, her attention was never on Shen Qingshu.

"Since father is not here, I will come back later."

Coincidentally, the woman turned around to leave, and then heard the announcement: "The Holy Majesty is here!"

"Father!" The woman's eyes lit up, and she happily called out to the visitor, her previous arrogance had been extinguished.

Zhao Qiaomu patted the little hand on the back of his hand, with indescribable kindness on his face.

"Your servant pays homage to the Holy Majesty."

Zhao Qiaomu sat down on the couch with the woman, and then unhurriedly made Shen Qingshu get up, but the conversation was directed at the woman.

"Why did you come here?"

Zhao Jinlu pursed her lips, and didn't care that there were outsiders in the palace, she just looked like a little girl from an ordinary family acting like a baby to her father, and said softly: "Father, I heard from people in the palace that you have chosen a son for your son. Son-in-law, but my son-in-law doesn't want to marry yet."

"You are a good boy, I know that, but you will definitely like the son-in-law that I have chosen for you."

Zhao Qiaomu finally shifted his gaze back to Shen Qingshu who was standing aside with his head bowed.

"Shen Aiqing, come forward."

Shen Qingshu took a few steps forward, Zhao Qiaomu called her to look up again, and when she looked up, she overlapped with Zhao Jinlu's gaze, followed by Zhao Qiaomu's still loving face.

"Shen Aiqing, the widow has said that I will give you a reward today. I wonder if you can ask for something?"

"The minister has nothing to ask for, as a minister, it is right to share the worries of the Holy One."

"Hahaha." Zhao Qiaomu burst out laughing suddenly, even Zhao Jinlu didn't know why he was laughing, so he looked at Shen Qingshu, could it be that this person had some embarrassment, which made his father laugh, but after watching it for a long time Yes, I didn't find any laughing points, but she was born with a good skin, even more beautiful than the emperor brothers.

"Okay, Aiqing, although you say so, I will definitely not break my promise. As far as I know, Aiqing has not married yet, right?"

"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, it is true."

Shen Qingshu faintly had a bad premonition, Zhao Qiaomu got up and came to her side, smiling even more, said: "The widow only has this daughter, and she is the only princess in this palace, and now she has reached the age of marriage , the widow said so, can Ai Qing understand?"

"Plop", as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qingshu knelt down on the ground without any warning as if he had experienced Ruo Da's fear, which shocked both Zhao Qiaomu and Zhao Jinlu, and the latter was even worse. She knew, probably The son-in-law chosen by the emperor for him should be the handsome man kneeling on the ground at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, but he was really puzzled by his behavior.

"Aiqing, what is this for?"

"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness is a golden branch and a jade leaf, and your servants have a humble status. How can you be worthy of it? Your Majesty, please think twice!"

What Shen Qingshu said was urgent, but Zhao Qiaomu didn't take it seriously.

"Hey, Aiqing is so worried, I have already planned to promote you to Taichang Shaoqing, ranking third rank..."

"My lord!" Shen Qingshu boldly interrupted what Zhao Qiaomu was about to say, "This subject's achievements and abilities are not enough for this task. Please take back your orders, and don't let this subject be verbally abused."

Shen Qingshu's face was facing the ground, so the two of them didn't know the condition of her face at the moment, but they didn't know that her forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and her eyes were even more terrified. Who knew that Zhao Qiaomu snorted coldly after hearing this.

"Hmph, you can take your time. Besides, in the future, you will be the son-in-law of the widow, the husband of the widow. If you are a nobleman, who dares to discuss you?!" Zhao Qiaomu continued, his tone turned cold. : "Or, do you think Princess Qingyue, who was born with much favor, is not worthy of you!"

"The Holy Majesty appeases my anger, I have absolutely no intention of doing so, but I already have a woman I like, so I'm sorry I can't obey!"

"Oh? Could it be that the widow's daughter is not as good as that ordinary woman, Shen Qingshu, as the king of a country, the widow intends to promote you, but you are so ignorant of good and evil, but I want the widow to punish you!"

Emperors are always changeable, or how to say that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, Zhao Qiaomu got angry, and lost his previous amiable appearance, the innate majesty of the king shocked those kneeling on the ground, fearing that if he said it again One word that dissatisfied him, and Shen Qingshu's head had to be moved.

Zhao Jinlu was also a little displeased, and it was really rare to make his father angry. As the only daughter of the Qingyue King so far, and the only princess of the Qingyue Kingdom, she attracted much attention and love. How many princes and grandchildren would want to Married to himself, this person is good, and he was persuasive, but this succeeded in attracting his attention.

"The widow finally asks you, do you deserve or not this son-in-law!?"

"Forgive me, I can't!"

"Okay, come here!"

As soon as Zhao Qiaomu gave an order, a guard came in, bowed his head and clasped his fists.

"Take him!"

The guards clamped Shen Qingshu, Shen Qingshu only felt that this was too nonsense.

"When Aiqing has figured it out, the widow will let you out."

Zhao Qiaomu waved his hand, and Shen Qingshu was taken down, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

It wasn't until the voice could no longer be heard that Zhao Qiaomu sat back on the couch angrily, and took the tea that Zhao Jinlu handed over.

"Father, calm down, don't hurt your body for such a trivial matter."

"Is this a trivial matter? This is a major event in your life, can you not be in a hurry?"

"But father, you didn't even ask your son's opinion."

"Then what do you think, if you don't like it, then the emperor will make another choice for you, you fool, just don't want it."

"No, father, he's fine."

The corners of Zhao Jinlu's lips raised slightly, revealing two shallow dimples, and a cunning flashed in his eyes.

Shen Qingshu seems to be an interesting person.
