I Married Female Lead's Crush Chapter 37

 It was mid-summer at this time, and the sun was blazing outside, illuminating the dark green bricks in the corners.

 Flowers and trees planted in the Prime Minister's mansion, now blooming brilliantly, green dense red, fresh and lovely. It looks better than last time.

Gu Zifu leaned lazily on the chair, holding his cheeks with one hand, and stared at the flowers and trees outside with interest. He thought that it would be a good idea to plant a few in the Gu courtyard. He can ask Shuangqiao to make pastry with it, or let Si Ting chop for firewood.

Chi Rui coughed twice before saying, “Seventh Lord, not to mention anything else. If you really want to spend your day with Her Highness theTenth Princess, you should get rid of your playful personality like to watch the fun, don't think about having fun all day, and occasionally learn to be nice to her."

After saying, Chi Rui looked at Gu Zifu's smiling face looking like a good person, he immediately got goosebumps from this thought, shook his head again and again to deny the idea, and changed his way of talking, gently advise: "Most importantly, the little girl is usually has thin-skinned, fear of losing face in front of outsiders, Seventh Lord should try to be more patient at least in front of those outsiders. If you can't learn it, I know several good books that I can give you to read to relieve your boredom. You are idle anyway."

After listening to the series of his advice, Gu Zifu smirk, "What is the thing called "face"? If the person found offensive to my eyes, just directly kill. “

Why bother with much trouble?

 "……" Chi Rui supported his forehead feeling headache.

Seventh Lord, you deserved to live a single life. As for love, there is no such thing.

Thinking of what Gu Zifu had gone through as a teenager, he suddenly felt relieved. In this case, it was better to take some things slowly.

Skipping this topic, Chi Rui started to mention recent court affairs.

The last time Gu Zifu killed several people in the hall, regardless of what he thought in secret, but at least on the bright side, he stood on Su Shizhou's side. Some timid court officials also dare not to raise any objection. Moreover, Su Shizhou was able to reach this step, he must have many hidden means. It only took a few days, he was able to kill the people that went against him, and promoted those who benefited him. Rules the court with an iron fist.

"A country cannot be without a ruler. I heard that many people in the court intend to let the crown prince ascend the throne as soon as possible, so that some people can completely stop thinking about it. It's rare that this time no one jumped out to raise any objection. By the way, yesterday eunuch Changsheng asked the crown prince to go to guard the tomb of the emperor. The crown prince has already allowed it. Before he left he came to the mansion and met with my father. As for what they talked about, my father didn't say it. “

Gu Zifu He answered unconcernedly, "After living a long time, it's time to go."

Seeing him remain indifferent, Chi Rui couldn't help worrying, “Seventh Lord, how should I say you, now that the Crown Prince is going to ascend the throne, intentionally or unintentionally, it seems like he wanted to pull you in to be his close confidant, everybody could see with. It's time for you to find a way out for yourself."

"After all is said and done, it is still for the military power in my hands."

Chi Rui stunned.

Everyone knew that half of the military power at the border is in Gu Zifu's hands. Later, Gu Zifu was seriously injured and returned to the capital to recuperate his health. Now it has been almost two years. Although the border is now stable and the military affairs are handled by the deputy general, the real power is still in Gu Zifu's hands.

What's more terrible is that when the late emperor was still healthy, he had given Gu Zifu a sacred decree. No one knew what was written on it, but no one dared to grab it. Until now, they still don't know what was written there. 

No matter what, Su Shizhou seemed determined to draw the person to his side.

Chi Rui was still worried and wanted to say something more, but he saw Gu Zifu suddenly raise his hand and pointed at the tree in the courtyard, said with a smile on his mouth, "This tree is not bad. You find someone, pull a few and deliver them to Gu courtyard.”

Chi Rui: “…….”

In the end, before the tree was not uprooted, someone ran over and said, “The Prime Minister has returned.” Gu Zifu frowned, got up and walked out of the Prime Minister's mansion through the small path.

If he doesn't run on time, his ears will suffer today. 

—————–

In Gu courtyard, Su Qing was sitting on a swing, and Chun Tao pushed it slightly. The swing swayed high, making her dress lifted up from the blowing wind. Looking fascinating.  

Gu Zifu saw this scene the moment he stepped his foot in from outside. His eyes fell on Su Qing's small face. The sweet smile on her face was very real. Even the little dimples at the corner of her mouth looked more beautiful than usual.

She never did this in front of him. 

That's right, who wouldn't be afraid of him.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and smiled strangely, he walked over, picked a bayberry on the small table next to him and stuffed it into his mouth.

It tasted better than this morning.

Chuntao's action froze, the moment she saw him, and he stood there in proper manner, “Seventh Lord.”

Su Qing, who was laughing cheerfully, did not notice him, until the swing gradually slowed down, turning her head over and  saw Gu Zifu twisting a bayberry and putting it in his mouth. His white hand line with the bright red bayberry looking very good.

Su Qing swallowed her saliva, and stared at the bayberry, and whispered: "Seventh Lord, that bayberry is mine.”

Want to eat, go pluck it yourself.

Gu Zifu said coldly, "But the tree is mine.”

Su Qing stopped talking.

Gu Zifu ate a few more, but frowned after seeing his fingertips stained with bayberry juice, Su Qing immediately passed the handkerchief to him, but Gu Zifu did not take it, Su Qing had to bite the bullet again, come over and wiped the stained for him.

Watching the dedicated little hand moving between his fingers, Gu Zifu's eyes slightly narrowed and thought of Chi Rui's words and then thought of Da Bai.

Well, sure enough, it's better to keep the person.

Su Qing saw that he was in deep thought, and didn't know what to say next, lowered her head and poke a small piece of grass on the ground with his toes.

For a long while, she felt that the clothes blew over in front of her, she looked up and stared blankly at Gu Zifu, who was sitting on the swing. Learning her movement she just made, and started swinging, but the swing seemed to be overwhelmed by the weight and making “creak” sound.

 He frowned, got up, and said to Su Qing in displeasure: “You come over and sit.”

 Su Qing wanted to run, but her subconsciousness telling her it was a bad idea, hiding her trembled fingers in her sleeves and walking over carefully. In the past, hesitated to sit on the swing and asked, “What is the Seventh Lord going to do?”

Looking at her frightened appearance, Gu Zifu was amused. He leaned down, and put his fingertips on Su Qing's delicate face. Pinched it gently.

Soft and slippery.

Su Qing blinked and stared at him blankly.

Gu Zifu also learned her movements and blinked, but the fox's eyes were slightly raised, with a smile in his eyes. Su Qing felt that Gu Zifu's smile was different from the past, but where it was different, she couldn't tell.

It's like a pet suddenly holding a cabbage, and comes in front of you acting cute.

Su Qing thought of the image Gu Zifu was holding a cabbage, her heart couldn't help but shivered.

While she was in a daze, Su Qing felt her body lighter, and her fingers grasped the ropes on both sides of the swing subconsciously, and the scenery in front of her became more and more glorious.

If it went a little higher, she might be able to see the East Street.

She kinda misses the candied fruit on East Street.

Gu Zifu is a man, so his strength is naturally much stronger than Chun Tao. With a slight push, the swing can swing very high.

But the height has made Chuntao look with an alarming heart.

At first, Su Qing was also scared. I was really afraid that Gu Zifu would suddenly release his hand or throw her out, but after a long wait, Gu Zifu just pushed the swing.

Slowly, the fear in my heart gradually faded.

Su Qing smiled brightly like warm sunshine that could almost melt the snow in the winter.

"Seventh Lord, can you go a little higher?” She whispered.

Gu Zifu who was behind her seemed to chuckle softly, and swiped his fingers between her white tender neck, but quickly let go, and pushed the person away again.

This time, he is indeed pushing her a little higher than before.

The breeze blew through the ears, and her hair flying on her face made her feel slightly itchy. Su Qing closed her eyes and enjoyed this rare and comfortable time, while Gu Zifu was whispering something from behind.

It was just that his voice was low, and Su Qing was sitting in a swaying swing, she couldn't hear him clearly.

"…… I went to the Prime Minister's mansion, um … there was a very unreliable person who said a lot of messy things, although it's messy……”

"……. I don't seem to get along with people, no, it's more like they are afraid of me … “

"……. It doesn't matter anyway, as long as the person stay, don't ask me why, even ask … also don't know…… “

 "En, that's it….. “

What is the Seventh Lord saying? Su Qing thought to herself.

By the time she got off the swing, her legs turned soft, she just got up and took a small step, but had to grab the swing and sit back.

 Gu Zifu made "tsk tsk" sounds twice, lifted up his foot and lightly kicked her calf, and said with a teasing tone: “Why are you so useless, only playing on a swing has made you this afraid.”

  "……..” Su Qing bent and rubbed her calf, bit her lower lip, and said as her ears were slightly red. "Seventh Lord, you can't sit on the swing even if you wanted to.”

Gu Zifu squinted his eyes, “What did you say?”

 “No, no, um….. my legs are numb, it will be fine after taking a rest for a while, Chun…." She looked up, and only to find that Chuntao had left since god knew when. Feeling a little depressed, she muttered a few words under her breath. Resigned to her fate, she bowed her head and continued to gently rub her legs.

Gu Zifu, who was standing nearby, felt bored and suddenly kicked the swing with his knee, the force almost caused Su Qing to fall to the ground.

Su Qing's cheeks were bulging, angrily humming at him, and then turned her head no longer wanting to look at him.

The more Su Qing ignored him, the more Gu Zifu Yue wanted to tease her, but seeing that Su Qing still ignored him, after three or four tried, he lost his patience. When he saw Su Qing getting up, he sneered and kicked the swing hard, he then turned around and left.

Before leaving, he took away all the bayberry left on the small table.

Su Qing opened her mouth, and the mist in her eyes rose again, with some grievances.

What kind of person is this?!!
