The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Shili Pavilion. Ouyang Qianyu, carrying her bag, stared blankly at the direction of the capital for a while. When she came to her senses, she mounted her horse and prepared to leave.

Qin Huiyin gave her an idea and asked her to pretend to leave in order to test Puyang Qiubai's feelings.

However, what Qin Huiyin didn't know was that her departure was not fake, but she really intended to leave.

Since Puyang Qiubai can't make a decision, let her make it.

Over the years, they had been good partners, collaborators, and confidants, but he had never shown any romantic feelings for her, presumably because he had no intention of showing any affection for her. He didn't refuse because he was too gentle and didn't know how to refuse without embarrassing her.

So, she took the initiative to withdraw, not to make things difficult for him, and to fulfill their relationship of dependence and companionship for so many years.

"Qianyu..." Puyang Qiubai's voice came from a distance. "Ouyang Qianyu..."

Ouyang Qianyu heard someone calling her name and turned her horse's head to look over.

When she saw the figure riding a horse galloping towards her like an arrow, she thought she was hallucinating.

He came on horseback wearing the imperial robe, without any followers, and left the palace alone, with an anxious look on his gentle face.

They had known each other for so many years, and even when faced with danger, he had never lost his composure like this. Only when faced with the matter of his own sister Qin Huiyin did he have such obvious emotional reactions. In other aspects, he was always so calm and self-confident, as if everything was under his control.

She pinched her arm, and the pain confirmed that she was not dreaming.

When I looked up again, the figure opposite me was getting closer and closer, and it was obviously not an illusion.

She hesitated whether to leave now.

Finally, I decided to say goodbye to him.

Maybe he came here just to see her for the last time.

Puyang Qiubai got off his horse and strode towards Ouyang Qianyu.

"See..."

Before Ouyang Qianyu could bow down, she was helped up by Puyang Qiubai.

"Are you leaving?" Puyang Qiubai looked at Ouyang Qianyu.

Ouyang Qianyu lowered her eyes and nodded gently.

"Why?" Puyang Qiubai asked, "Is it because the ministers are urging you to get married? You don't want to marry me, so you want to leave?"

Ouyang Qianyu: "..."

"The ministers suggested that you be appointed a female general. Of course I can do it, but there's no war going on now, so even if you were appointed a female general, it would be a sinecure. As you can see, our Taixi Kingdom has just been established, and there are many generals with great military achievements. From now on, everyone can only train their troops and enjoy their retirement."

"As for marrying you, the deep palace is a whirlpool. Once you're trapped in it, it's very difficult to get out. I don't want you to become that lonely woman in the harem. What's more... we grew up together, and you've always treated me with only friendship, not love..."

Ouyang Qianyu looked up at Puyang Qiubai: "Your Majesty, if you want to speak for yourself, then speak for yourself. There's no need to push the problem onto me."

"Qianyu?" Puyang Qiubai was surprised.

"Your Majesty has no romantic feelings for me, and I will not embarrass Your Majesty."

"I've known you were my fiancée since I was five years old. Over the years, I've never forgotten this promise and have always considered you my fiancée. Once someone in the Puyang family makes a commitment, it won't change. Furthermore, our family only practices monogamy, so once someone makes a commitment, they won't change their mind."

Ouyang Qianyu looked at Puyang Qiubai in confusion.

Puyang Qiubai looked a little uncomfortable.

Ouyang Qianyu's head was buzzing and she was unable to react.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

"I have known since childhood that you are my fiancée and the person who will accompany me for the rest of my life. How could I not have feelings for you? I have always treated you as a girl. Can't you feel it?" Puyang Qiubai sighed softly.

"We have been together since childhood and have been through so much. I have fought like a man. How could you treat me like a girl?" Ouyang Qianyu blushed.

"There are always fresh flowers in your room, often cut by me and placed there for you. You often have stomachaches during your monthly period, and I send someone to treat you. I also instruct my staff not to let you eat spicy food or cold food during those days. All your clothes for the four seasons are personally selected by me, made ready-made, and sent to you. It's just that you don't like brightly colored dresses, preferring simple riding clothes or men's clothing..."

Puyang Qiubai recounted some details of these years one by one.

He was not a person who liked to talk about love, and he looked particularly uncomfortable when talking about these old things.

At this moment, he was no longer a ruler who commanded the heroes, but more like a young man who was just beginning to fall in love.

Ouyang Qianyu was shocked by what he said.

She had never noticed these things, and he had never even asked the servants to tell her that he had prepared them himself.

"Tsk..." Zhuge Congfeng sighed from the bushes. "Some people are usually dumb, but now that they see their wives are about to run away, they're getting anxious."

"Shh!" Qin Huiyin made a gesture to silence him.

Zhuge Congfeng emerged from the bushes and said to the two people not far away, "Don't be so awkward. Why don't you just talk it out sooner? Qianyu, he has feelings for you. Last time you were injured and unconscious for several days and nights, he took care of you without taking off his clothes, eating and sleeping with you. Then, when you were about to wake up, he was so awkward, saying that he looked haggard, and he avoided seeing you, and he wouldn't let anyone tell you that he took care of you."

"He's a stubborn man. In the eyes of others, the engagement was long overdue, but he's always treated you like his future wife. However, he said that the family is no longer around, and he doesn't want you to be bound by those rules and regulations, or to be embarrassed. He also said that if you can find someone you love, he'll let you go and help you. Therefore, you don't need to know about what he did, so as not to be trapped in the past."

"I've already told you that you care about that engagement, and Qianyu isn't someone who doesn't care. You just need to talk it out as soon as possible."

Qin Huiyin walked out from behind Zhuge Congfeng: "Brother, you won't be able to win over your sister-in-law if you are so reserved."

Ouyang Qianyu's cheeks flushed red as she looked at Puyang Qiubai: "If you really want to, why don't you want to get married?"

"Of course he is not sure about your thoughts. He is not sure and dare not ask you. So just tell me if this person is weird or not?" Zhuge Congfeng said.

"Qianyu, if you wish to become a female general, I will issue an imperial decree to confer the title of the first female general in the world. If you are willing to fulfill the engagement, will you be with me for the rest of my life?" Puyang Qiubai held her hand. "Men of the Puyang family do not take concubines, so the selection proposed by the ministers will not take place. After we are married, you can come and go freely in and out of the palace, do whatever you want, and not be burdened by your status."
