As Qin Hao wished, the emperor granted him permission to pass the academy examination all the way - only he felt it was a permission.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!" Qin Hao cheered, not hiding his joy at all, and bowed with a smile on his face.

The emperor was even happier with the cute little kid's cheerful look. He turned to Chu Shiyu and asked, "Try to bring this kid with you when you enter the palace. It makes me feel comfortable."

"Okay." Chu Shiyu nodded. It was a good thing that little Qin Hao was loved. In the future, when he and Liu Rusi would be together for a hundred years, there would be less resistance.

Shen Yuqin had already retreated in disgrace. There was silence for a while before the noble lady’s talent show began again.

A young girl in a yellow dress came on stage, bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I am Fang Qiu, and I would like to perform a sword dance. Please grant me permission."

No sharp weapons were allowed in the presence of the emperor, and sword dancing did require permission, which was granted with the emperor's nod.

Soon, two soft swords were presented. They were goose yellow in color and flashing with cold light, looking extremely heroic.

"Clap, clap, clap!" The warm applause was thunderous!

Liu Rusi was also clapping, but suddenly she felt someone pulling her clothes. She immediately looked and found that the big hand had just been withdrawn from behind Xiao Qinhao.

"Father, I am in a hurry to return to the capital. I am a little tired now. Can I leave and go back to the palace to rest first?"

"Your Highness Prince Duan, why don't you comment on my swordsmanship before leaving?" Fang Qiu asked directly.

However, before Chu Shiyu could say anything, Princess Changning stood up with a thud and said disdainfully, "No need for Brother Duan Wang's comments! I think it's just average!"

"Princess Changning, I was asking His Royal Highness Prince Duan, not you."

"Brother Prince Duan is talking to the Emperor, why are you butting in?"

"That's none of your business either."

"You! What am I doing..."

At the royal banquet, it was very rude for two women to argue with each other, but their status determined that they dared to do so. Princess Changning was needless to say, Fang Qiu was the legitimate daughter of General Zhenyuan who commanded an army of 500,000. Although her status was lower on paper, her actual position was almost the same.

"Okay, stop arguing." The emperor shocked the two women with his voice, and then said to Chu Shiyu: "Yu'er, you are not young anymore, it's time to think about which girl to marry. Decide on it sooner, and there will be less noise."

Chu Shiyu's expression became serious, and he was about to say something, when he felt a small hand pinching and twisting his lower back. Ruifeng's eyes drooped slightly, and when he raised his eyes and spoke, he restrained himself a little: "I don't like noisy sons and daughters either, let's talk about it in a few years."

The two quarreling girls suddenly turned pale. The emperor waved his hand with an inexplicable look and said, "A few years is too long. Go back and rest, and think about it carefully. It's best to decide this year."

Chu Shiyu's face darkened again. This year, he wanted to take down Liu Rusi, which was harder than landing on the moon! But this was not the right occasion to argue. He stood up and bowed, saying, "Then I will take my people back first."

He was leaving, so Liu Rusi and Xiao Qinhao naturally had to follow him. Liu Rusi bowed and saluted, while Xiao Qinhao shouted loudly: "See you next time, Grandpa Emperor!"

"Haha! Okay, see you next time!" the emperor smiled kindly.

As the group walked out, Liu Rusi couldn't help feeling ashamed. She knew her son was not stage-fearing, but she didn't expect him to be such a social expert. Fortunately, his performance went well today, otherwise, as a mother, she would be really afraid of losing her beloved son!

They walked slowly all the way. Chu Shiyu didn't say a word, and Liu Rusi didn't say anything either.

Even after getting on the carriage, Chu Shiyu sat directly next to her, and Liu Rusi did not say a word. She could feel the low pressure on Chu Shiyu. Anyway, the goal had been achieved, so she should not provoke him because of some trivial matters.

The carriage stopped at Prince Duan's Mansion, and several sedan chairs were carried over. Chu Shiyu said to Qin Hao and several maids, "You go up and go back to the courtyard first."

Liu Rusi's heart trembled, and she finally couldn't help but speak out: "I am also a little tired, I want to rest early."

"Don't you dislike riding in a sedan?" Chu Shiyu asked without emotion.

"I can walk faster and catch the sedan chair back with me." Liu Rusi would not be trapped by herself, as a sedan chair carried by people was not moving very fast.

"You said not to walk too fast after a meal. Don't you usually walk slowly to help digest your food?" Chu Shiyu glanced at her.

The food from the palace banquet should have been digested long ago, but looking at the sedan chair that was already going away, Liu Rusi chose to keep quiet. There was no point in arguing about these things.

It was already late at night, and the lanterns hanging in the corridors and under the eaves provided just enough light for walking. Before they knew it, they were the only two left.

Liu Rusi's heart tightened a little. What exactly did Chu Shiyu want to do?

"So, you agreed to go to the palace banquet this afternoon just because you wanted to see your father?" Chu Shiyu had already understood this clearly, but he was still very upset.

Feeling guilty, Liu Rusi didn't know what to say. She couldn't resist Chu Shiyu, and the only one who could suppress him was the emperor...

Moreover, she had already had this idea when he took her away from Dongshan Village...but she didn't expect things to go so smoothly and be accomplished on the first day after arriving in the capital.

Suddenly! Her arm grabbed and pulled!

"Um?!"

Two big hands held her shoulders! Her back was pressed against the red painted pillar!

"What are you doing... Ugh!"

The slightly cool lips were fiercely imprinted on her red lips! There was no gentle preparation, just fierce sucking and licking from the beginning!

After reacting, he raised his two little hands to resist, but they were bypassed by the pillar and overlapped! He was firmly controlled by a big hand from behind!

But this time, the pearly teeth were useless because another big hand had already pinched her jaw! She couldn't bite it at all!

The tip of his tongue forcefully invaded the sweet spring that he had not tasted last time! His soft little tongue tried to push the invader out, but was captured by the waiting lips! He sucked so hard that she suspected that he would swallow her tongue!

As if feeling that the little tongue had surrendered, the lips put it back, and the hot tongue attacked the sweet spring again! This time he swept around unscrupulously, turning the whole mouth of sweet spring upside down!

The extremely overbearing kiss gradually suffocated Liu Rusi, and her body began to struggle more violently due to the suffocation! She was really going to die!

The lips left her, and she gasped for air. When she regained her breath and was about to speak, the lips covered her again! It was still a violent attack!

She understood! This was a punishment! This was a kiss of punishment!

He let go when she was about to suffocate, and then kissed her again until she suffocated before she could speak. He repeated this many times!

Liu Rusi was already stunned, her mind was blank and she couldn't think at all. She leaned against the pillar weakly, and her legs began to weaken and she slid down...

The big hands loosened the hands behind the pillar, grabbed the person's waist and picked him up, and the lips finally let go of the delicate lips that were still red even though the rouge had faded, and imprisoned the person in the cage formed by the arms.

"I've wanted to do this to you for a long time..." The hoarse voice whispered in her ear, and the hot weapon pressed against her soft body, indicating that he wanted to do more, to make her feel threatened... But he wouldn't do more, because if he did more, she would probably hate him...

It took Liu Rusi a long time to recover. Before she could say anything, Chu Shiyu pinched her face and whispered in a low voice like an accusation: "You can use me to do anything! I am willing to be used by you!"

"But there is one thing! You can't use me to get away from me!"

Being forced to kiss, Liu Rusi should be angry, but more... he feels guilty... He solemnly announced her existence to everyone, but she suddenly ruined it, so he should be angry...

Almond's eyes avoided the anger in Ruifeng's eyes, and she whispered: "If I don't do this...how can I stay away from you?"

Chu Shiyu's breath stagnated, and after holding it for a long time, he seemed to be deflated. He asked in a wronged and pleading tone, "Can't you just stay away from me? Isn't it good to stay by my side?"

Liu Rusi looked up at him with an apologetic look in her eyes, and said softly and seriously: "You are very good, really very good, but feelings come first and come later, and I already have Qin Lie in my heart..."

"He's dead!" Chu Shiyu shouted indignantly.

The straightforward words made Liu Rusi's face turn pale instantly. The deep-buried heartache was touched, and the sadness was like a raging wave hitting the shore, turning into a bitter and salty liquid that lingered in her almond-shaped eyes.

Chu Shiyu cursed himself for being so angry that he actually argued with her about Qin Lie. He quickly said softly, "I'm not asking you to let him go right away. I just hope you won't be so stubborn. There are many women who marry twice in this world. Can you please look at me?"

"But there are more women in Daxia who remain faithful to their husbands. I don't want to get married again. I can live a good life on my own. Some experiences... are enough only once."

She had never considered getting married before she met Qin Lie. At that time, she was deeply traumatized by the death in her previous life, and Qin Lie naturally entered her new life.

Qin Lie was so good to her that she let go of her original idea and accepted a happy marriage, until those beautiful seven years came to an abrupt end... She just wanted to return to her original state and didn't need a new person. She couldn't bear the burden of another seven years.

"Are you such a pedantic person? Chastity? You and I have been entangled for a long time, and everyone will know about it in the future. How can you still have a reputation?!"

Chu Shiyu didn't mean to stop her from keeping her chastity, but there had to be a time limit. If it was three years as previously estimated, he could withstand the pressure and wait for her, but now she seemed to want to keep it for a lifetime! How could he accept it?

Being called pedantic by a feudal person, Liu Rusi couldn't help but laugh, and then said with a faint smile: "I am not loyal to my husband, I am loyal to Qin Lie."

"Even if everyone knows it, you know, and I know, that he is still in my heart."

After being silent for a long time, Chu Shiyu suddenly said angrily: "I don't believe it! You have no feelings for me at all!"

As soon as the words fell, his lips clung to hers again! He didn't want to hear her deny it! Regardless of whether she had it or not, he was sure that it was true!

Come again? !

This time, her hands didn't go behind the pillar, but he held her up with her arms! He held her up with such force that she was lifted off the ground! He held her in his arms and kissed her like a rag doll!

But this time, her jaw was not pinched, so her teeth could resist, and she did, but... maybe because she felt guilty, or maybe because she was afraid of being held responsible for biting off his tongue, she didn't dare to bite really hard...

The slight pain caused by the grinding of the pearly teeth did not affect Chu Shiyu's interest at all, but made him more excited! The strong tongue even took the initiative to find those two rows of white teeth!

It was not until the big hand could not help but wander around his waist that he suddenly came to his senses and separated. He stopped. If he continued, he would not be able to control himself! Don't lose the big picture for the small one!

Liu Rusi was panting again, but Chu Shiyu seemed to be comforted by the two rounds of kisses, and the gloom of the night had dissipated.

Hugging the limp body, he snorted complacently and said, "Even if the emperor grants you a house, it's not certain when you can move in! If I insist on not letting you move in, do you think the emperor will blame me for this?"

Liu Rusi was stagnant, raised her head and asked, "Didn't you promise me that I could live in my own house when I arrived in the capital? Are you going to break your promise?!"

Chu Shiyu leaned forward and approached her, their noses less than an inch apart. He said maliciously, "I've said it long ago that I, Chu Shiyu, am a mean person, especially when it comes to you... What's the point of breaking my promise?"

Liu Rusi was really angry! She could tolerate all the things that happened before, as long as she was free, and regarded them as the price she paid for annoying him... But if her main goal failed, she would not tolerate it!

"I'm not necessarily not letting you move!" Seeing her expression, Chu Shiyu quickly added that it would be difficult to appease her if she was really angry.

"Chu Shiyu, what do you want? Just tell me." Liu Rusi looked at him intently.

I want you, but this request is impossible now. Chu Shiyu whispered to her softly: "Can you leave a room for me in your house?"

Liu Rusi lowered her eyes. Isn't this still a mess? But as he said, their innocence is already known to everyone. If she doesn't agree, she may not be able to leave Prince Duan's mansion. In her own house, it is her territory after all, and she can have a little more initiative.

"Okay, but when can I move out?" Liu Rusi negotiated.

"You have to wait for the title deed to arrive first, otherwise how are you going to live here?" Chu Shiyu said as he put his arm around her shoulders and walked towards Ruliu Courtyard. It was getting late, and she was tired after a day's work, so she should rest early.

Liu Rusi struggled with his hand and was about to push his arm away when she heard him add softly, "But the house needs to be cleaned up. If it's an old house, it may need to be repaired. I don't know when it will be ready..."

This is a naked threat! Liu Rusi was speechless, and put down her hand expressionlessly. If she hugged his shoulder, she would just treat it as the limited land cession and compensation for today!

When they returned to Ruliu Courtyard, it was already past midnight, but there were still maids guarding outside the main door, waiting for the two masters to come back.

Chu Shiyu felt relieved after venting his anger, but he was also very tormented... When he got to the front of the house, he let go of Liu Rusi and said to her softly, "You should go to bed early."

Then he turned to the maid and ordered: "Prepare cold water, the prince wants to take a bath."

Liu Rusi suppressed her embarrassment and hurried back into the house and closed the door.

After taking off her headdresses and earrings and washing up, Liu Rusi lay down on the bed. A lot of things happened today and she was really tired. She would review them tomorrow...

However, she closed her eyes for a long time but could not fall asleep. The bed in her room was next to the room on the left, and Chu Shiyu's bathing place seemed to be separated by a wall...

The sound of water splashing into my ears...

Feeling guilty, I couldn't help but think of the reason why he took a cold shower... I had brushed my teeth and rinsed my mouth, but I could still feel his scent lingering in my mouth... Besides, my lips were still red and swollen, and the slightest touch would remind me of his reckless behavior not long ago...

I covered myself with the quilt to block out the sound, curled up for a while, and then felt hot again. I stretched myself out, but still felt hot...

She sat up irritably, put on her shoes in the dark, and looked for the candlelight in the unfamiliar environment...

"Bang!" The sound of an object falling to the ground was sudden.

The stool must have fallen over. Liu Rusi was groping to pick it up when she heard someone shouting from the next room, "Rusi? What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay! Get up and go to the bathroom!" After Liu Rusi shouted, she stood quietly in the darkness for a moment, then turned around and groped her way back to bed.

In fact, she just wanted to drink some cold water to calm down the heat, but she was trapped by the strangeness and darkness and couldn't even find the door to the outside...
