Qin Ming sat on the sofa in the study, drinking tea and meditating.
If he remembered correctly, Xiao Qingwan was a descendant of Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty. Xiao Changxi, as Xiao Qingwan's aunt, was naturally a descendant of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty.
The reason why Qin Ming knew Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, was because he had read "The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties" before, because an important character in "The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties" was also a descendant of Xiao Yan.
It was the Sui Dynasty Queen Xiao Meiniang who lived in the mansion next door.
In this way, Qingwan, Changxi and Empress Xiao can be considered relatives.
Then if you have a chance in the future, would you like to take Qingwan and the others to the yard next door for a visit?
By the way, let’s take a look at what the empress Xiao, who is famous in history, looks like!
Just as Qin Ming was thinking this, a figure pushed open the door and walked into the study.
Xiao Changxi walked to Qin Ming and sat down, and asked softly:
"Mr. Qin, has the court approved the construction of cement roads?"
Qin Ming turned to look at Xiao Changxi, looking at her tender eyes, he suppressed his previous thoughts.
He stretched out his hand to hug Xiao Changxi into his arms and said:
"Well, the imperial decree should come out tomorrow. By the way, Xi'er, have you made arrangements for purchasing iron tools and recruiting labor?"
Xiao Changxi leaned into Qin Ming's arms and said:
"It has been arranged according to your wishes."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Changxi raised the corners of her mouth slightly when she heard this, turned her head and looked at Qin Ming with a tired look on her face, and said with concern:
"Qin Lang, you have been busy all day. Do you want to go back to your room and take a rest?"
Qin Ming, who was still a little sleepy, suddenly became energetic after hearing this. He lowered his head and whispered in Xiao Changxi's ear:
"Then Xi'er, do you want to come together?"
Xiao Changxi, as someone who has been here before, immediately understood what Qin Ming meant, reached out and gave Qin Ming a gentle push, and said with a blushing face:
"It's broad daylight..."
Qin Ming looked puzzled when he heard this and said:
"Isn't it always during the day to take naps?"
Xiao Changxi's face turned even redder when she heard this. She buried her head in Qin Ming's chest, stretched out her hand and pinched Qin Ming's waist, and said angrily:
"Qin Lang, you are getting worse and worse!"
Qin Ming grinned, bent down and took Xiao Changxi into his arms, then turned around and laid her down on the sofa.
When Xiao Changxi was confused, Qin Ming lay on the outside of the sofa and stretched out his arms to hug him.
"You've been tired for the whole day, so let's take a nap here."
Xiao Changxi was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, Qin Ming had already closed his eyes.
Xiao Changxi liked the warm feeling now. After hesitating, she took off her veil and kissed Qin Ming lightly on the lips.
How could Qin Ming be willing to suffer such a loss, so before Xiao Changxi could leave completely, he leaned forward and gave Xiao Changxi a passionate French kiss.
After a while, the lips parted,
Qin Ming said with a smile:
"Xi'er, if you continue to be dishonest, I will execute you on the spot!"
Xiao Changxi blushed, turned over, leaned into Qin Ming's arms, and said:
"Is this okay?"
Qin Ming put his arms around Xiao Changxi's slender waist, moved forward, found a comfortable position, rested his chin on Xiao Changxi's shoulder, and said softly:
"Well, that's good!"
Xiao Changxi was so embarrassed!
.......
In the Youshi period, Xingdaofang
After dinner, Qin Ming took Xiao Changxi out of the Qin Mansion.
Because it was a last-minute idea this time, Qin Ming didn't bring anyone with him except Xiao Changxi.
It was already dark at this time, and even with the lights on the roadside, it was difficult to see the faces of pedestrians.
Therefore, Qin Ming held Xiao Changxi's little hand tightly along the way.
The two of them were just like ordinary lovers in later generations, walking hand in hand on the streets of Xingdaofang.
Occasionally, when they encounter a shop that interests them, the two of them will go in and have a look, but only for a look.
Qin Ming looked at the people coming and going on the street and suddenly asked:
"Xi'er, I have a question that I've always wanted to ask you."
Xiao Changxi glanced at Qin Ming and said with a smile:
"Qin Lang just asks."
Qin Ming asked as he walked forward:
"Xi'er, I asked Zijun before, before you came to Chang'an, you lived very well in Yangzhou, so why did you take her all the way from Yangzhou to Chang'an City last year? Who did you offend in Yangzhou? ?"
When Xiao Changxi heard this, a trace of panic flashed across her eyes.
If she had just met Qin Ming, Xiao Changxi might have been outspoken, but as Qin Ming and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty got closer and closer, Xiao Changxi hesitated.
She was a little worried that once Li Shimin learned Zi Jun's identity, he would be suspicious of Qin Ming.
It would be fine if Qin Ming was just an ordinary man, but the problem is that he is not ordinary.
She comes from a wealthy family and spent some time in the palace of the previous dynasty, so she knows better than Qin Ming what the person sitting in that position is thinking about all day long!
It is undeniable that she has fallen deeply in love with the man next to her.
This is why, for so long, she knew that as long as Qin Ming was willing to help find someone, she could soon see her long-lost family, but she never mentioned this matter to Qin Ming.
Seeing that Xiao Changxi didn't reply for a long time, Qin Ming stopped, reached out and patted the back of Xiao Changxi's hand a few times, and said softly:
"It doesn't matter. When you want to say something, just tell me."
When Xiao Changxi heard this, her eyes turned red, her lips moved a few times, and finally she said something.
"Thank you Qin Lang."
Qin Ming took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, stretched out one hand to wrap around Xiao Changxi's slender waist, and scratched the bridge of Xiao Changxi's nose with the other hand:
"What are you talking about? Even if you say thank you, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I might be very busy right now! The Qin Mansion wouldn't have developed into what it is today."
Xiao Changxi leaned into Qin Ming's arms, stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes and said:
"Qin Lang, I'm a little tired, let's go back home?"
Qin Ming nodded, then squatted down, turned around and said:
"Come, I'll carry you back."
Xiao Changxi looked around and hesitated.
"Don't worry, no one will see it this late."
So on the dimly lit street, Qin Ming carried his beloved girl on his back for the first time.
It feels heavy on my back and in my heart, and I feel very at ease!
So Qin Ming's face was full of smiles!
Xiao Changxi, who was lying on Qin Ming's back, was also smiling!
