Chapter 40
This sentence was almost a whisper, obviously extremely weak, but to Du Fengju's ears, it was like listening to the wind in the wilderness, it was extremely clear.
"If Mr. Du continues to have trouble with his mother-in-law, this palace will...ask my father to issue an order to recruit you as the consort!"
She was so close that her warm breath hit his ear, as if touching his ear.
Du Fengju's face did not change much, but his ears gradually turned red, and his earlobes were so red that they were bleeding.
"Your Highness, you...you..."
Du Fengju was shocked. He rolled the word "you" several times in his mouth. He didn't know whether it was because he was angry or something else, but he couldn't fully explain it.
Zheng Ji had already turned around and looked at Du Fengju with his free time. His eyes were smiling and he nodded from time to time, seeming very satisfied.
Feng Ju is not very good at covering up. His ears... his ears are not covered up.
It turns out that Fengju was so easily shy when he was young!
It's great, she has never seen such a sentence before.
Feng Ju’s true face hidden under this ordinary mask is, isn’t it red?
It's a pity that she can't see it now.
However, she can fully imagine it.
Moreover, she will definitely have a chance to see it in the future!
To other people on the second floor, this scene was a very obvious oppression and threat.
Although they couldn't hear Zheng Ji's words clearly, it was not difficult to guess what happened from her movements and expressions, as well as Du Fengju's reaction.
Pei Yanshan, who was following Du Fengju, had a solemn look on his face, his brows furrowed, and he looked very scary.
Once again, he found that he could not predict Princess Changding's movements and intentions, and she would let her get so close to the young master!
He was unprepared under the plum blossom tree before, so he let Princess Changding take advantage of it, but what about this time?
He was obviously alert, but he was still caught off guard.
Princess Changding’s movements are indeed too fast!
Moreover, she actually threatened the young master like this!
If the young master hadn't told him in advance to hold everything back, Pei Yanshan would have started a riot long ago.
What does it mean to recruit a young master as a consort? Princess Changding obviously wants to humiliate the young master, right?
That's right, Pei Yanshan was standing behind Du Fengju. With his martial arts skills, he heard what Zheng Ji said no matter how quiet he said it.
He looked at his young master's red ears and couldn't help but think: Princess Changding's threat was too much, and the young master was so angry that his ears turned red.
Poor Pei Yanshan, he really didn't expect that what made his young master blush was not only anger, but also shyness.
Du Fengju had no idea that Princess Changding would say such a thing.
Is this a threat or a tease?
Even if it is someone like Du Fengju, it is difficult to tell them apart at once.
Therefore, his bright black eyes kept staring at Zheng Ji, not letting go of any expression on her face.
As for Zheng Ji, as if he didn't say enough, he added more anger: "Master Du, you have to advise Mr. Du well. Otherwise, I will really do that."
Is it true that I would ask my father to issue an edict and recruit you as my consort!
This unspoken sentence was understood by everyone who heard it.
Du Fengju looked deeply at Zheng Ji. He seemed to be joking and serious at the same time, but he still couldn't tell the difference.
No matter what, one thing he understood clearly was to tell her father to mind his own business, otherwise, she would take action to retaliate against the Du family.
Has he really stayed in the mountains of Hedong for too long? I really can't understand the thoughts of these powerful girls in Jingzhao.
If the emperor really granted her a marriage and recruited him as his consort as she requested, it would certainly be bad for him, but what good would it do to her?
Not to mention, the emperor has already granted her a marriage to Prince Song.
If Princess Changding's threat was actually put into action, she would really kill eight hundred enemies and injure herself a thousand!
Thinking like this, he gradually calmed down, the redness in his ears gradually faded, and even replied in a good mood: "Your Highness, I will talk to my father carefully."
Tell us about your threat, Your Highness.
When Zheng Ji saw Du Fengju's ears gradually returning to normal, she couldn't help but feel regretful. She really wanted to see such a young Fengju a few more times.
She still stared at his ears and said meaningfully: "Mr. Du, don't forget what you just said. I will do what you say!"
She will definitely ask her father to grant her a marriage, and the consort will only be Feng Ju!
"This tea-scented bamboo shoots is a treat for Mr. Du. It is made with care by the shopkeeper. You must taste it!"
After she said that, she stood up, laughed "haha" and left, obviously in a very good mood.
After she left, Pei Yanshan was silent and couldn't help but say: "Young Master..."
Du Fengju waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything.
There is no need to say these words outside, they have no meaning.
At this moment, his mind was filled with many things, but he suppressed them all and his eyes fell on the tea-scented bamboo shoots.
He appeared in Baiyunman today just because of it.
He stretched out his hand, picked up a bunch of tea-scented bamboo shoots, and slowly peeled them.
Well, the taste seems to be a little bit different.
As for what was different, he couldn't tell at the moment.
~~
What happened here in Baiyunman quickly reached the ears of Emperor Yongning.
"Did she really say that?" the emperor asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I have already inquired clearly. Your Highness the Princess said that she will not spare Tutor Du and will return to the palace to complain to you." Zhu Yi replied.
Although he did not see it with his own eyes or hear it with his own ears, there were many people on the second floor of the Baiyun Man Mansion at that time. These words were confirmed by him after repeated inquiries.
"According to the observation of the soldiers I put in Changding's command, His Highness has been to Baiyunman for several days in a row. He should be waiting for Mr. Du."
Emperor Yongning nodded, not paying attention to this.
He knew Xiaojiu's temperament very well. If he really wanted to do something, he would definitely not give in.
It seemed that she was really going to have trouble with Du Tong's youngest son.
He pressed the memorial and asked, "How is Taifu Du's youngest son doing?"
"He handles things calmly, like a great master. But his appearance is very ordinary." Zhu Yi replied respectfully.
This was beyond Emperor Yongning's expectation. How could Du Tong give birth to a son with an ordinary face?
"I have carefully observed it, and there are no traces of disguise, but I have not touched it."
Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it doesn’t really exist.
Emperor Yongning didn't care about this. Du Tong's son was not enough to interest him.
If Xiaojiu hadn't met Du Tong's youngest son twice, he wouldn't have even looked at him.
It seems that Xiaojiu's life after leaving the palace and opening a mansion was very rich.
Emperor Yongning couldn't help but think of his daughter who was always around him and acted coquettishly. Even he missed her dearly.
