On the morning of January 7, Yu Qiuping woke up in a daze. He felt his headache explode, but he felt a warm feeling between his eyebrows and temples. He tried hard to open his eyes, narrowed into a slit, and his eyes gradually focused. Imakawa Kaede had already put on his waist, and his waist was tied into a woman's style. The blush caused by passion last night had not faded from his cheeks. She did not realize that Yu Qiuping had woken up, but washed a towel in a basin filled with hot water. After stacking it neatly, she gently applied it to Yu Qiuping's forehead. Then she massaged it between his eyebrows and temples - it seemed like the kind of sobering up massage. When Yu Qiuping saw Asahina Taehyung last time, several maids pressed it.

Yu Qiuping felt warm, and Imagawa Kaede unexpectedly felt comfortable pressing it. His soft fingers made Yu Qiuping throbbing. He smiled slightly, opened his eyes, and held Imagawa Kaede's hand. She was startled and wanted to pull his hand away, but failed. She was stunned for a moment, leaned over and smiled, and the red leaves hanging on her neck fell.

When Yu Qiuping saw the pendant, he was suddenly touched.

Yes, the lingering and affection of last night was just a fleeting happiness like a cherry blossom. What punishment would they encounter next, Yu Qiuping dared not think about it, and it was hard to imagine.

However, he must think about it and take responsibility. This is what a man should do for his own woman.

He endured the severe pain and tried to straighten his body.

"Does the head still hurt?" Imakawa asked with some pain, "I really don't know, why can Hei be so able to drink... dozens of bottles of strong wine."

Yu Qiuping's words "It's okay" almost blurted out. But he was stunned for a moment, looking at the girl's slightly red eyes and worried tone, remembering the words the girl said last night, and was unwilling to let him suffer alone and be isolated.

"It hurts quite a bit." Yu Qiuhei said honestly. He saw that a slight smile suddenly appeared on Kaede Imakawa's face, and the two dimples were particularly cute. What she pursued was that he could open his heart with her and let her share the pain for herself.

"Don't drink like this in the future." Imakawa Kaede shook his head, "Hai, you say that drinking alcohol is not good for your health."

"Didn't Feng'er say it's a fallacy?" Yu Qiuping smiled.

"It was a fallacy at that time, but it's not now." Imakawa Kaede pouted like a tantrum, "Anyway, if you dare to be drunk in the future, I won't let you go easily!"

"Okay, okay." Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly, "I will go and ask to see the main hall of the family."

Imakawa Kaede also looked tighter, and the two looked at each other.

But the two have committed heinous crimes.

The family's general had an affair with the princess who had a marriage contract... This is probably a crime for Yu Qiuping to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan.

"Do you regret it?" Imakawa Kaede hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice with some grievance.

"Never." Yu Qiuping looked at Kaede Imakawa's pitiful look, hugged her into her arms, and gently scraped her on her little nose.

"Ling Zun taught me that I will make a choice without regrets in my life." Yu Qiuping whispered: "And last night I was able to tell everything about Feng'er, and meet honestly and reconcile again is the least regretful decision I have made in my life."

Yu Qiuping slowly got up and opened the window. The snow had stopped, and the cold wind blew into the house with the red paper leaves on the ground.

"I want to marry you and be with you." Yu Qiuping said with a smile: "Even if there is only one night, I will have no regrets in this life."

Imakawa Kaede was stunned for a moment, laughed, but tears also flowed out. "I'll go with you."

"Feng'er? You..." Yu Qiuping asked in surprise.

"Hing, have you always said what you did?" Imagawa Kaede took a few steps forward, standing side by side with Yu Qiuping, facing the cold wind outside the window. "We must face all difficulties together and be each other's red leaves, instead of enduring all the pain alone for the other party, you promised me."

"Yeah." Yu Qiuping nodded.

"If the family is strictly dealt with, Feng'er will never be born alone." This girl, who is only 17 years old, made a promise extremely firmly, "When you arrive at the banks of Santuchuan, you will also ask you to help me add paper red leaves."

"No." Yu Qiuping suddenly refused. He turned around, held Imakawa Kaede's shoulder with both hands, stared at her, and said solemnly: "I want you to make an agreement with me, and swear to the red leaves in this maple leaf forest."

"No matter which of us encounters misfortune, the other party must live firmly and must not commit suicide." Yu Qiuhei looked straight into Kaede Imakawa's eyes, "Because as long as you are alive, you can still remember the other person's appearance, the little bits of the past, and how beautiful this world was once."

"Look at the world he hasn't seen for another person, experience life he hasn't experienced, and fulfill the ideal he hasn't accomplished."

In the early morning of January 7, the gate of the Beicheng City of Junfu City had just opened, and Imakawa Kaede and Yu Qiuhei walked into the gate side by side. The guards were stunned for a moment, not knowing what they had given birth.

"Last night the princess ran out... Did she go to see Lord Hongye?"

"I don't know, but isn't Your Highness going to get married? Why do you look so close to Lord Hongye?"

"Last night we went to inform His Highness the family governor, but we didn't get any reply, and we didn't know what the situation was?"

Several guards were talking and talking, but they couldn't explain the reason.

Early in the morning, there were not many pedestrians in the city. Yu Qiuping and Imakawa Kaede quickly walked outside the Tianshou Pavilion, informed the guards, and asked for a visit to Imakawa Yoshimoto.

"Your Highness, the governor of the family, said that if it is Lord Yuqiu and His Highness the Princess in the morning, you can go in directly." The guard bowed and said, "Please."

Yu Qiuhei and Imakawa Kaede were stunned for a moment. They didn't understand the deep meaning of this order, but they still walked upstairs quickly. For some reason, there was no one in the corridor in Tianshou Pavilion. The two of them came to the outside of Imakawa Yoshimoto's office without any obstacles.

Yu Qiuhei and Imakawa Kaede looked at each other, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door together.

"Yuqiu, Feng, come in." Imakawa Yoshimoto's voice came from inside the house.

Yu Qiuhei and Imakawa Kaede opened the door and walked into the room. Imakawa Yoshimoto's table did not spread out the usual flower, bird and landscape paintings, instead, were a brown scroll.

Yu Qiuping and Imakawa Kaede sighed and bowed down together. Yu Qiuping swallowed, made a great determination, and said heavily: "I deserve to die if I am guilty! Please punish the house and the main hall! No matter what punishment, I am convinced!"

"Oh?" A cynical smile suddenly appeared on Imakawa Yoshimoto's face, which made Yu Qiuping even more creepy. "I don't know if Yu Qiu knows what he is guilty of?"

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and he could feel the Imakawa Kaede beside him trembling slightly. Yu Qiuping was a little difficult to speak for a while.

"Don't know, then I'll tell you." Imakawa Yoshimoto snorted and was about to speak.

Yu Qiuhei and Imagawa Kaede's heart beat so fast that they could feel the tingling pain in their eardrums. The breathing became rapid and chaotic, as if they wouldn't breathe without deliberately breathing. Yu Qiuhei took the fresh air into his lungs in big mouthfuls, hoping to relieve tension, but in vain.

Imakawa Yoshimoto's voice sounded. Yu Qiuhei seemed to be able to feel the sword falling from his neck and the fear of the human head falling to the ground.

"A private meeting with a fiancée is incompatible with etiquette and law."

"Eh?" Yu Qiuhei and Imakawa Kaede all looked up and looked at the playful smile on Imakawa Yoshimoto's face in disbelief. The two looked at each other in surprise and saw surprise, ecstasy, and disbelief in each other's eyes. They both doubted whether they had heard it wrong, but they did not dare to ask, for fear that they would really get a reply like "You guys heard it wrong".

"You two heard it right," Imakawa Yoshimoto smiled when he saw the cramped look of his favorite young man and his beloved daughter. "I personally met his fiancée, which is inconsistent with etiquette."

"Dad! But!" Imagawa Kaede said in surprise and wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Imagawa Yoshimoto waved his hand.

"I just told you that you are going to get married, have you ever told you who you are going to get married?" Imakawa Yoshimoto asked, "Who is it? If you don't know, just come to me for a big fuss?"

"But!" Imakawa Kaede blushed, "Dad, after you asked Okabe Young Master to go to your room, Okabe Young Master returned to Okabe Castle and never came back."

"That's because I told him that the person Feng wants to marry is not you. I'm afraid you will be sad, so I'd better have Okabe Castle later." Imakawa Yoshimoto laughed.

"What?" Imakawa Kaede and Yuqiuhei were both surprised, "Then why... others think it's... Okabe Young Master?"

"What do they think? What does it have to do with me?" Imakawa Yoshimoto showed a cynical smile on his face. "No one could have thought that Yuqiu could have gone from a small businessman who settled accounts to a member of the Imakawa family in just two years."

"Actually, it's a joke." Imakawa Yoshimoto laughed, "Do you two really think that paper can keep the fire? Or do you think Imakawa Yoshimoto would let my daughter go to the mountains to play without sending anyone to secretly protect him?"

"When you first met, my ninja told me. I had the intention of promoting Yuqiu, so I didn't stop you, but I didn't think you could make any progress with Kaede. I didn't expect you to really take away my treasure." Imakawa Yoshimoto frowned, "And my ninja also saw Goro's ninja monitor you. I guess you had a cold war for a while before, because Goro was interfering, that self-righteous boy."

Imakawa Yoshimoto stared at Yu Qiuhei, stood up and crossed the table in front of him, and patted him gently on his shoulder, "I owe Feng's mother a lot, so I hope she can prevent her from repeating the same mistakes. I hope she can marry a man who not only loves her but also treats her well. Instead of becoming a victim of political marriage like the women of the Wu family."

"So I deliberately did not disturb your relationship, nor did I tell you about marriage. I use this method of disgrace and deviantness to see where your relationship has reached." Imakawa Yoshimoto chuckled, "I was very satisfied as a result. You kid will hang the mountains all over the red leaves for her and perform such a dangerous task, and she will also break into the city gate to see you."

"So... what did you two do last night? My ninja said something that I was embarrassed to approach and stayed far away, so I didn't know what I had given birth." Imakawa Yoshimoto raised his eyebrows with a wicked smile, and watched Yu Qiuhei and Imakawa's faces turn red quickly, laughing.

"Stop making trouble, I apologize for you, I shouldn't hide it from you." Imakawa Yoshimoto said seriously: "So, Yuqiu, what are you going to hire?"

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what to hire him if he wanted to marry Daming's daughter in this era.

"The red paper leaves he hangs for me are the betrothal gifts." Imagawa Kaede saw Yu Qiuping's hesitation and said, "Isakawa's words to relieve the situation."

"Then, you go back to his shawl. Even if you are engaged in private, you won't say anything to my father." Imakawa Yoshimoto made fun of him again, turned around and walked to his desk, and said seriously: "Since you have been hired in advance, I will give you a part of my daughter's dowry in advance."

"There is no need to be like this in the hall..." Yu Qiuping knocked hurriedly with a red face, but Imakawa Yoshimoto shook his head relentlessly.

"This Chidori - is the dowry I have brought to you in advance." Imakawa Yoshimoto picked up a brand new samurai sword from under the table. The scabbard is blue-colored, carved with elegant bird patterns, and the hilt is black. Imakawa Yoshimoto pulled the knife a little inch from the scabbard. The moment the blade was unsheathed, suddenly there was a sharp sound that was more than that when the ordinary samurai sword was unsheathed, like a bird's song. The blade reflected Yu Qiuping's face because of its sharpness. The blade was not an ordinary transparent color, but a subtle blue-colored color. If you sniff it carefully, you can smell a faint, familiar smell of incense - that was the smell of Chidori incense burner!

Yu Qiupi was shocked and quickly glanced at the table. The Chidori incense burner, Imakawa Yoshimoto's favorite, was gone. "Did the hall melt the Chidori incense burner? Forged this Chidori!"

"That's right." Imakawa Yoshimoto held the junction of the scabbard and the hilt with one hand and reached the knife in front of Yuqiu-ping. Yuqiu-ping stretched out his hands blankly, took the Chidori, and asked in disbelief: "But isn't that the Imakawa family... heirloom of family?"

Isn’t that the incense burner he loves the most in the hall? Isn’t it the incense burner he always stays inseparable from him and placed on the table?

"Do you think it was for Yuqiu for free?" Imakawa Yoshimoto laughed, "The guess is wrong."

"I gave you the Chibi to you to take a swear to dedicate all your loyalty and talents to the Imagawa family in this life." Imagawa Yoshimoto stared at Yu Qiuping's eyes, "I just made a choice. What's the difficulty of making a choice between this heirloom and a talent that is rare? Even if I have to use all the painting treasures in the Quanjun Mansion to make a choice with you, I still-"

Imakawa Yoshimoto shook his hand and snapped his fingers crisply, pointing his index finger straight at Yu Qiuping's eyebrows.

"You are the one you chose!"

"The hall..." Yu Qiuping choked up and hugged the Qiandeng tightly.

This kind of grace of knowing what I have... Since I was a small settlement, I have been optimistic about myself and promoted myself; give myself the opportunity to show my abilities, affirm my talents and pursuits, and teach me like a teacher; understand my ideals and identify with my own value; melt away my beloved heirlooms and forge my samurai sword; marry the best girl in the world to myself...

A scholar dies for his confidant.

He kowtowed three times on the tatami and promised from his heart: "In this life, Yu Qiuping will definitely not forget the kindness of the palace! Life will die, death will be made to repay the grass in today's river!"

"And my punishment for your fiancee this time is to give more betrothal gifts, not enough," Imakawa Yoshimoto said with a smile.

"I wonder what kind of betrothal gift the main hall hopes to give?" Yu Qiuping asked, "Those who are worthy of Princess Maple must be priceless treasures, and it is probably difficult to give them."

"No, you can offer it." Imakawa Yoshimoto smiled, picked up the scroll on the table with his back hand, shook his hand, and the scroll spread from top to bottom in Yuqiuping - it is a map of the sixty-six countries in the world!
