âBig Brother All You, what you have is different from what I want to give you. It doesnât conflict.â Qin Huai felt even more helpless. âI know.â
Ah Yu said it very casually. Perhaps it was because she had never lacked material resources, but she had no desire for money at all.
With Meatbail managing the clothes and jewelry for her, she was wearing clothes made with design blueprints from the spatial pocket shop. They were all suitable and beautiful in this era.
Sometimes, as they were traveling around, they could not wait for the custom-made clothes from the shops to be ready. Wang Wulang and Qin Huai would even fight to learn how to make clothes. After a few years, the two of them had achieved small success in needlework.
Other than not knowing embroidery, they knew everything else.
Half of the clothes Ah Yu was wearing were made by Qin Huai.
Half of the accessories on her were made by Wang Wulang.
The food they ate was researched by Wang Qilang. Wang Qilangâs culinary skills were very good. Everyone sometimes slept outdoors, and it was Wang Qilang who helped make the food.
Ah Yu even secretly stuffed him with many high-level recipes. Many of the ingredients were simple, but the cooking was slightly complicated, so the taste was especially good.
Wang Qilang had already made up his mind. Regardless of whether he could pass the examination or not, he would borrow some money from All Yu and open a small restaurant to try.
Little All Yu who was picky with her food in the beginning, looked like she had no desires now.
They quickly filled a large basket of mushrooms. Qin Huai called Chi Tu out and asked him to send the basket back first.
After he left, Qin Huai said to Chi Jia, âGo to the mountains and hunt two wild animals for Qilang.â
Chi Jia knew that he wanted to send him away, so he accepted the order and left.
âBig Brother All You, do you have something to tell me?â Little All Yu lifted her skirt and patted the withered branch off Qin Huaiâs shoulder. She pointed at a tall tree not far away. âLetâs go there to talk.â
The tree was very tall. At the top of the mountain, not only could they see the scenery, but they could also monitor their surroundings.
Qin Huai agreed and carried Ah Yu up the tree skillfully.
He knew that Ah Yu liked him to use his qinggong and fly around with her. It was time-saving and fun.
For this, he had practiced day and night. Now, his qinggong was almost comparable to Chi Jia and the others.
After climbing up the tree, Qin Huai looked at Little All Yu, not knowing what to say.
âIs it something difficult to say? As long as youâre not lying to me, you donât have to tell me anything. You can talk about it after youâve thought it through.â Ah Yu smiled, her eyes curved like crescents.
The thin and small girl from back then had already grown very tall. Sheâd reached Qin Huaiâs shoulder, and she was even taller than girls her age.
In a few more years, she would definitely grow taller.
âAll Yu, 1 said that 1 want to take the imperial civil service examination for you and let you become a Madam with a proper title.â Qin Huai deliberated and said, âOnce I become an imperial scholar, Iâll be expected to take up an official position, especially if Iâm the top-ranked scholar. Youââ
Ah Yu looked at the nervous Qin Huai and suddenly smiled. âBig Brother Ah You, is that it? Are you afraid that youâll be nervous if you go to the palace alone? Whatâs there to be nervous about? Weâve seen so many high-ranking officials. Arenât they all the same? I think the Emperorâs family should be similar to the other ministers. In the future, youâll also be an official, so you donât have to be afraid of them.â
Qin Huai was speechless. ââ¦Iâm not afraid of them. Itâs just that after 1 enter the palace, youâll marry me in the future. The palace is bitter. Are you willingââ
He did not know if his status as a prince could be restored. From the looks of it, Empress Qin even wanted to push him to the position of Crown Prince.
Qin Huai did not care about this, provided that Ah Yu was willing to live in the palace.
If she was willing or liked it, he would reach an agreement with Empress Qin.
If she was unwilling, he would find another way.
âBut the top scorers in the past can usually leave the palace to become officials outside after two years of work. Even those who are motivated or are not doing well should be able to leave in at most six years,â Ah Yu said. âIf you become the top scorer this year and live in the palace for six years, Iâll just be 15 years old. Even if we get married at that time, youâll be out already. Why would 1 go to the palace to live?â
Qin Huai:ââ¦â
It seemed that the topic he had chosen was not right. Ah Yu could always give him another angle.
Qin Huai took a deep breath and planned to tell Ah Yu his background directly. In any case, they already trusted each other, and the person he cared about the most in his life was only All Yu in front of him.
âActually, thereâs something 1 want to tell you. Itâs about my background. My grandfather is the current Duke Yong, and my mother, Madam Qin, is actually
Before he could finish speaking, an arrow suddenly shot over from the air. It was not aimed at Qin Huai, but at All Yu.
Qin Huai instantly pulled Ah Yu behind him, pulled out the sword at his waist, and cut the arrow.
Swishâ
Unexpectedly, another sharp arrow tore through the air and pointed at All Yu from the opposite direction.
âBe careful!â Qin Huai had just cut through the first arrow. It was too late to turn around, so he could only shout in a hurry.
As soon as he finished speaking, the arrow arrived in front of her. All Yu raised her hand to block and grabbed the arrow with her fingertips.
Ah Yu looked at the arrow and frowned. âI donât recognize the symbol. The workmanship is a little rough.â
[Kid, stop playing. Go down quickly.]
Hearing Meatballâs words, she also took out a dagger from her waist and nudged Qin Huai. âBig Brother Ah You, letâs go down. Itâs too easy to be targeted here.â
The person hiding in the dark was stunned when he saw a noblewoman in her early teens catch the hidden arrow without blinking.
In this moment of shock, a sword was placed on his neck and swiped cleanly.
âUgh!â
