The Cloud Feather of the Red Chamber: A Marriage Arranged with Gong Yuanzheng at the Start

Inside the Zheng Palace, a servant carefully dug out a medicinal herb. Young Master Zheng said that all the medicinal herbs in the Zheng Palace would be moved to the Jiao Palace today.

These herbs have all been improved by Master Zheng, and the quantity is already limited. The pharmacy is always very careful when using these herbs.

If this is damaged even slightly, Young Master Zheng might get angry and cut off their tongues to use as medicine.

When Lin Qingyue stepped outside, she saw this bustling scene: people coming and going, and the place where herbs used to be planted had been mostly dug up.

An incredible idea popped into her mind.

She looked at Gong Yuanzheng with some unease and fear, her tone carrying a hint of seeking confirmation, "They are..."

Gong Yuanzheng's smile was dazzling, and his eyes seemed to sparkle like stars. "Today, they will transplant all the herbs to Jiao Palace, and we will plant more flowers and plants in Zheng Palace."

“We plant all kinds of flowers and plants so that we can enjoy flowers all year round.”

Gong Yuanzheng pointed to a corner of the courtyard, beaming with joy and excitement, "How about we plant some white plum blossoms there? That way, you can enjoy the plum blossoms as soon as you open the window."

"Don't worry, I won't dig up that white plum tree on the mountain. I'll have someone go to Old Dust Valley to buy some, and it will be planted this afternoon."

“Whatever you want to plant in other places, we will plant it. For flowers and plants that are not available in Old Dust Valley, I will ask my brother to help me buy them from outside.”

After saying this, Gong Yuanzheng stared intently at Lin Qingyue, his face full of smiles, but his eyes were filled with trepidation and unease.

To say that I felt absolutely no emotional reaction would be a lie.

The herbs in Yizheng Palace were moved away without warning. Judging from the servants' actions, you could tell how precious these herbs were.

Lin Qingyue stared blankly at him, "You don't have to do this..."

Gong Yuanzheng gripped her hand tightly and placed it on his chest, his voice filled with urgency, "I'll move anything you like to Zheng Palace."

“You are my wife, and the palace gate is your home. I will make the palace whatever you like.”

“Even if it’s the palace gate, if you want to change any part, we’ll change it. I’ll go to my brother, and he’ll definitely agree.”

“We’re going to live in the palace for the rest of our lives, and I hope you’ll be happy and comfortable there.”

The boy's heart was pounding, his face was smiling, but his eyes were filled with urgency.

What if she still doesn't want to stay in the Zheng Palace? Is locking her up the only option?

He thought of Madam Lan, who forcibly kept Yue'er at the palace gates; she would only become a second Madam Lan.

Gong Yuanzheng couldn't help but tighten his grip on Lin Qingyue's hand. He didn't want his Yue'er to die like Madam Lan on some winter day.

He wanted his Yue'er to stay with him for a long, long time.

He would do anything as long as Yue'er was willing to stay with him at the palace gate.

He is not Gong Hongyu; he will not let Yue'er suffer any injustice.

Anyone who dares to criticize him will be poisoned!

All he wanted was for Yue'er to stay with him at the palace gates, willingly and happily.

But what should he do, and what methods should he use, to get her to stay willingly?

Her heart was pounding; the boy's affection was hard to hide, and she could feel it—it was the purest emotion deep within his heart.

Lin Qingyue was touched, but also a little flustered.

After the age of seven in this life, I have basically had no contact with men outside of my family. In my previous life, I was busy working part-time to earn living expenses and tuition fees, and I had no time to date.

This is the first time she has experienced love in two lifetimes.

He tried to pull his hand back, but Gong Yuanzheng gripped it even tighter.

Lin Qingyue was puzzled and somewhat apprehensive. "We've only known each other for four days, and you've already fallen for me?"

Seeing the hurt look in Gong Yuanzheng's eyes, she quickly added, "It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just a little confused."

Gong Yuanzheng pursed his lips. "If you like someone, you like them. What does it have to do with how long it takes?"

"Seeing you makes me happy, and being with you makes me even happier. That's enough."

Is that so? Lin Qingyue looked at the hand that Gong Yuanzheng had placed on her chest and thought: Is this it? Is this what love is?

But I'm not happy about it...

Lin Qingyue's heart was in turmoil and confusion. The man she had the most contact with was Lin Ruhai, a gentle and refined scholar. His relationship with Jia Min was one of mutual respect and harmony.

Gong Yuanzheng is completely different; he is assertive and relentless in achieving his goals.

He wanted to do something that she couldn't refuse.

But looking back on the past two days, she had to admit that he had indeed done a lot for her.

They developed an antidote for the Lin family, provided them with medicinal porridge every morning, and medicinal meals with every meal. Now they are also extensively building up the vegetation in the Zheng Palace.

In the previous generation, it would have been difficult for a guy to do this for his girlfriend, right?

Seeing that Lin Qingyue remained silent for a long time, Gong Yuanzheng's upturned lips slowly straightened, his long, thick eyelashes trembled gently, and a layer of water gradually rose in his clear eyes.

Lin Qingyue hesitated for a moment, then, why don't we give it a try first?

Her face became more serious. "Gong Yuanzheng, let's plan together what flowers and plants to plant in the Zheng Palace."

A glint of tears flashed across Gong Yuanzheng's eyes, and he couldn't help but embrace Lin Qingyue, circling her several times in the courtyard.

The continuous, clear sound of bells revealed just how joyful the boy was at that moment.

"Gong Yuanzheng!" Lin Qingyue called his name in exasperation.

Gong Yuanzheng then stopped, his smile brighter than the winter sun.

As intelligent as he was, he naturally understood what Lin Qingyue meant.

He had many ways to keep her at the palace gates, as long as she was willing to open her heart and stop resisting him.

He will treat her well, so well that she will never be able to leave him.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Lin Qingyue immediately took a few steps away, looking at the servants around her with a hint of shame and anger on her face.

"With so many people around, what are you doing?!"

Gong Yuanzheng glanced at the servants around him, all of whom were busy with their tasks with their heads down.

He took a few steps forward and took her hand. "Zheng Palace is a bit chaotic today. I'll show you around the palace gates. For lunch, we'll have lunch at my brother's place."
