Just when Qin Ming was happily explaining to everyone the principles of fireworks. Sishe walked into the courtyard in a hurry. She walked quickly to Qin Ming, bowed and said:
"Sir, Madam Yuechan, sent by the Li family in Chang'an City, has sent you some New Year's gifts. She is waiting for you in the front hall at this time. Butler Xiao is accompanying you and asked your servant to inform you."
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this, then turned to Li Yuan and said:
"Grandpa, there are guests in the house, and my grandson has to go back."
Li Yuan also heard what Si She said, and he naturally knew that Yuechan was the personal maid of Queen Changsun.
He was living very comfortably in the Qin Mansion these days. If Yuechan saw him here, he would definitely tell the queen and the traitor after he returned.
In this way, it will be difficult for him to come out again.
So at this time, he couldn't be seen by Yue Chan. So he thought for a while and said:
"Well, Grandpa has already seen it. Let's go back together."
"Girl Qingwan, girl Zijun, how many rounds will you play with me?"
Xiao Qingwan raised her eyes and looked at Qin Ming. Seeing him nodding, she said to Li Yuan:
"Okay. But we agreed that we can play up to four rounds. No matter whether we win or lose, it will be over after the fight."
Li Yuan laughed loudly when he heard this and said:
"Okay, no problem, let's go."
With that said, Li Yuan took the first step out of the courtyard gate. Qin Ming and others did not pay attention and cast a hidden look at Si She.
Sishe nodded understandingly. She knew that the Supreme Emperor wanted her to go back early to keep an eye on Yuechan and avoid running into His Majesty.
So Si She turned around and said to Qin Ming:
"Sir, I will go back first and inform Butler Xiao so that the guests will not be impatient."
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this.
Back at the mansion, Xiao Qingwan and Yang Zijun followed Li Yuan to play cards, while Qin Ming came to the front hall alone.
As soon as the palace door opened today, Yuechan left the palace with the New Year's gift prepared by Queen Changsun.
The main reason why she came so early was that Queen Changsun didn't know whether making fireworks was troublesome or not. She thought that Yuechan would tell Qin Ming that she wanted a batch of fireworks earlier, so that Qin Ming could start making them earlier.
When she arrived, Queen Changsun also repeatedly told her that she must deliver the letter to Qin Ming as soon as possible.
While Yuechan was sitting in the front hall waiting anxiously, Qin Ming finally came to the front hall.
Yuechan stood up in a hurry, saluted Qin Ming and said:
"My slave Yuechan has met Mr. Qin."
Xiao Changxi on the side also smiled and called Qin Ming "Young Master".
Qin Ming smiled and waved his hands towards the two of them and said:
"No need to be polite, just sit down."
After saying that, Qin Ming sat directly on the main seat. He looked at the dusty Yue Chan and said:
"Auntie asked you to come here so early, but what's the matter?"
Hearing this, Yuechan quickly took out a letter from her sleeve, handed it to Qin Ming with both hands and said:
"This is a letter from the master to Mr. Qin. Please read it."
Qin Ming looked confused and didn't know what happened to his eldest grandson, but he actually wanted to write a letter to inform him. He took the letter, opened it and read it carefully.
After reading the content of the letter, Qin Ming couldn't help but find it a little funny. He didn't expect that famous empresses in history would also make up lies and deceive people.
If you want fireworks, just say no. You have to make up a lie and say that you want to donate them to His Majesty.
You two, are you kidding me? But Qin Ming soon understood the reason. Once the fireworks are set off, everyone in Chang'an will probably know that they were set off in the palace.
He didn't say that in the letter because he was afraid that his identity would be guessed by him.
Qin Ming put away the letter and then said to Yuechan:
"Miss Yuechan, I still have some fireworks in my house. I will ask my servants to load them onto the carriage for you later. You can sit here for a while."
Yuechan was overjoyed when she heard this. She didn't expect things to go so smoothly. She stood up and said to Qin Ming:
"Thank you, Mr. Qin. In that case, please go and wait outside. The master is still waiting for you at home. The fireworks will be set up soon, and I will return to Chang'an City immediately."
Qin Ming smiled and said to Yuechan:
"Yuechan, don't worry, sit here for a while. It's cold, drink some hot tea in the house and warm yourself up. Someone will notify you when everyone is ready. In addition, I will wait in the kitchen and let the cooks Make some cakes and give them to Sizi and Lizi, please take them back with you."
Yuechan heard this and said:
"My servant thanks Mr. Qin."
After Qin Ming asked Xiao Changxi to accompany Yuechan in the front hall, he went out to arrange the fireworks and cakes.
Half an hour later, outside the Qin Mansion, Qin Ming smiled and waved to the carriage where Yuechan was sitting, and then entered the mansion with Xiao Changxi.
Xiao Changxi and Qin Ming walked side by side on the path in the mansion. Walking to Qin Ming's yard, Xiao Changxi saw no one around, bit her lip and asked:
"Sir, do you like that Yue Chan?"
Qin Ming was stunned when he heard this, turned around and asked with some confusion:
"Xi'er, why do you ask that?"
Xiao Changxi curled her lips and said with a slightly jealous tone:
"If you don't like her, why did you just give her a box of cakes?"
This was the first time Qin Ming saw Xiao Changxi talking to him with such an expression and tone.
It feels like later generations of girlfriends seeing their boyfriends and looking at beautiful women on the street, fearing that their boyfriends will fall in love with each other.
Qin Ming stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Changxi into his study room, and skillfully pushed Xiao Changxi against the door of the study room.
He took off Xiao Changxi's veil and stared at Xiao Changxi for a long time. Until Xiao Changxi's ears turned red, he asked with a wicked smile:
"Xi'er, are you jealous?"
Xiao Changxi was a little flustered by Qin Ming's fiery eyes. She didn't know what was wrong with her. I just saw Qin Ming preparing special cakes for Yue Chan, and I felt a little panicked for no reason.
On the road just now, the scene just now flashed through my mind involuntarily, and even those words were only asked after I mustered up the courage.
Qin Ming saw Xiao Changxi tilting her head and not speaking, so he reached out and gently straightened Xiao Changxi's head. He looked into Xiao Changxi's beautiful eyes and said seriously:
"Xi'er, can you have some confidence in yourself? With a stunning beauty like you by my side, how could I fall in love with someone else so easily?"
"Just now I just thought that she came to the house so early, and hurried back. I was afraid that I couldn't take care of eating, so I gave her a box of cakes."
When Xiao Changxi heard this, she put her arms around Qin Ming, gently leaned her head on Qin Ming's chest, and whispered:
"The slave family is suddenly a little scared. They are afraid that one day, when they are old, the master will no longer want the slave family."
After hearing this, Qin Ming finally knew what Xiao Changxi was worried about. He held Xiao Changxi in his arms, then whispered into her ear:
"Xi'er, I want to use a song to express my feelings for you. Do you want to listen to it?"
Xiao Changxi asked doubtfully: "Music?"
Qin Ming said seriously: "Well, yes, a piece of music."
After saying that, Qin Ming hugged Xiao Changxi and sang softly.
"The most romantic thing I can think of."
"Just growing old with you."
"Collect every bit of laughter along the way."
"Save it for later, sit on the rocking chair and talk slowly."
"...."
After finishing the song, Qin Ming asked in Xiao Changxi's ear:
"Xi'er, do you understand my feelings for you now?"
Xiao Changxi sighed with tears in her eyes. She just felt Qin Ming's friendship for her in Qin Ming's singing, so she cried while listening to it.
Qin Ming straightened Xiao Changxi's body and stretched out his hand to wipe away Xiao Changxi's tears.
The two looked at each other, and slowly the two people who liked each other kissed each other.
On the carriage back to Chang'an on the other side, Yuechan looked at the food box and hesitated for a long time before opening it.
Take out a piece of pea yellow from it and put it in your mouth. At that moment, Yuechan felt that she was sweet both in her mouth and in her heart.
