In the fifth year of Zhenguan, on the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, at the end of Xu Shi, Qinjiazhuang, Lantian County.
Two figures took advantage of the darkness and quietly walked out of the Qin Mansion.
It was Qin Ming and Xiao Changxi who had made an appointment to go out in the study in the afternoon.
The reason why Xiao Changxi was able to come out so smoothly was thanks to a pair of small mahjong tiles that Qin Ming gave to Xiao Qingwan and Yang Zijun.
After Yang Zijun and Xiao Qingwan listened to the story in the evening, they went back to Yang Zijun's room with Si She and Mou Tu.
Now the four girls are sitting around the hut, playing mahjong happily.
After Xiao Changxi told the girls to go to bed early, she excused herself to go back to her room to sleep, then slipped out of Qingxinyuan and met Qin Ming.
As soon as the two of them left the house, Xiao Changxi saw a carriage parked at the door and a person standing beside the carriage.
The person beside the carriage is none other than Qin Da, the current leader of the escort team of the Qin Mansion. When Qin Da saw Qin Ming coming out, he hurriedly said:
"Master, Butler Xiao."
The two of them nodded to Qin Da and got on the carriage one after another.
After the carriage drove slowly, Xiao Changxi asked in a low voice:
"Sir, where are we going?"
Qin Ming smiled, hugged Xiao Changxi into his arms and said in her ear:
"The gift I want to give you can only be seen at night. There are many people in the house, so it is not convenient to see it here."
Xiao Changxi's face turned red and she thought to herself, could it be that Qin Ming felt that it was inconvenient to get along with her in the house, so he bought a house elsewhere?
Qin Ming looked at Xiao Changxi's look and knew that she might be overthinking, but he didn't explain. He felt that if he told Xiao Changxi directly, there would be no mystery or surprise.
Xiao Changxi leaned in Qin Ming's arms for a while, hesitated and asked:
"Sir, does Qin Da know about us?"
Qin Ming knew what Xiao Changxi was worried about, so he hugged Xiao Changxi's slim waist tightly and said:
"He doesn't know. I told him to bring you here to let you take a look at this thing and to help you come up with ideas on how to sell it in Chang'an City in the future."
Xiao Changxi breathed a long sigh of relief when she heard Qin Ming's words.
After a while, the carriage stopped beside the river outside Zhuangzi.
Xiao Changxi followed Qin Ming out of the carriage and saw through the moonlight that there was a person standing on the other side of the bridge not far from the carriage.
When the man saw the carriage, he immediately trotted over from the opposite side and said:
"Sir, I'm all ready. Should we start now?"
Qin Ming looked at the young man named Zhang Wenyuan in front of him, nodded and said:
"Well, we can start."
Qin Da and Zhang Wenyuan were very excited when they heard this. Qin Da pulled Zhang Wenyuan and said:
"Let's go together."
After saying that, the two people ran towards the other side of the bridge. Xiao Changxi looked at the backs of the two people leaving and asked curiously:
"What did they do?"
Qin Ming took Xiao Changxi's hand, pointed at the night sky and said:
"Look at the starry sky first. The gift I gave you will appear there in a while."
While the two were talking, a faint fire appeared between Qin and Da, followed by a muffled sound.
Xiao Changxi followed the sound and looked over, only to see a bright light rising quickly from the ground to the sky, and then slowly rising to the position Qin Ming pointed just now.
Suddenly there was an explosion in the night sky, and a round, colorful circle of light exploded in the sky.
The moment the aperture bloomed, it illuminated Xiao Changxi's veiled face.
Xiao Changxi opened her beautiful peach blossom eyes and looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief. She didn't know if she was dazzled just now.
Before she could ask, Qin Ming was beside her. However, several muffled sounds were heard from the other side of the bridge, and then bright lights rose up. Then Xiao Changxi saw it. It was difficult for her in her life to An unforgettable scene, with loud explosions in the sky, gorgeous fireworks continued to explode.
The light produced by the fireworks even illuminated the area where she and Qin Ming were.
Qin Ming took Xiao Changxi's hand and asked with a smile:
"Xi'er, do you like this gift?"
Xiao Changxi turned her head when she heard this, looked at Qin Ming blankly and said:
"Yes. Young Master, did you do all this?"
Qin Ming looked at her with a smile and said:
"Well, isn't it pretty?"
Xiao Changxi nodded vigorously and said:
"Well, it's beautiful."
"Xi'er, you are also beautiful. So, after Qin Da and his friends and I experimented in the morning, we decided to take you to see it in the evening."
At this time, Xiao Changxi looked at Qin Ming's face that flickered in and out under the light of the fireworks, her eyes filled with joy and admiration.
Xiao Changxi is a very smart woman. She always knew about such a beautiful scene. Qin Ming only brought her to see it, which already showed her status in Qin Ming's heart.
At this moment, she deeply felt that Qin Ming cared about her.
In this night full of modern romance, under the brilliant fireworks that continue to explode in the sky.
The two gradually embraced each other, and Qin Ming also lifted Xiao Changxi's veil, and slowly kissed Xiao Changxi's soft thin lips.
On the way back to Qin Mansion, their lips were tightly pressed together.
Xiao Changxi sat on Qin Ming's lap with her hands around his neck, and the two white rabbits on her chest were constantly changing shapes in Qin Ming's hands.
The only difference from before was that Xiao Changxi took the initiative to kiss Qin Ming's lips this time in the carriage.
...
In the fifth year of Zhenguan, on the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, at the time of Xu, Chang'an City, the imperial palace, and the Zhengdian Hall.
Although it was very late, Princess Li Lizhi of Changle, who received the marriage proposal from her father today, still did not go to bed to rest.
After washing, she dismissed all the maids. A person was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, holding in her hand the "Inscription on the Humble Room" that Qin Ming had given her before.
When Li Lizhi knew that her mother planned to marry her sixth sister to Qin Ming, she had already decided to let go of her feelings for Qin Ming, so she put away this painting.
After these ten days, she has been working as a female celebrity, because as long as she has something to do, she won't always think about Qin Ming.
Originally, she thought she could forget Qin Ming, and accepted the arrangement of her father, the Queen, and her mother, and married her cousin Changsun Chong.
But it wasn't until she met her cousin at the Lizheng Hall today that she realized that she had not forgotten Qin Ming, because she could not help but compare her cousin with Qin Ming.
It was also at the moment when her father decreed the marriage that the heart-wrenching pain in her heart made her realize that over the past few days, not only had she not forgotten Qin Ming, but she had missed Qin Ming even more.
My heart fell in love with him even more out of my control, and I no longer wanted to marry my cousin.
"Perhaps it will be impossible for me to forget brother Qin Ming in this life."
Li Lizhi thought like this and didn't know if she would have a chance to see Qin Ming again in the future.
That night, Princess Changle fell asleep holding the "Inscription on the Humble Room". It seemed that only in this way could she get closer to Qin Ming.
