After leaving Prince Jia's Mansion, Mei Yuanchen did not dare to rest for a moment and rode straight towards the city gate.
He has always been shy and never likes to be treated by others.
What's more, there were three people waiting for him...
What's more, there are two women...
Not to mention that there was an old man with good moral character who was famous all over the world...
Although the horse is good and the road is open, its load is not heavy. However, it can only cover a thousand miles in one day. No matter how high the whip is raised, no matter how hard the whipping is, it cannot go faster. This is the limit.
Mei Yuanchen's eyesight was very good, and he could see clearly from a hundred feet away. From a distance, he saw a beautiful figure wandering on the roadside of the post. Although the description is indistinguishable, one can still tell from the goose-yellow dress that it is Yi Qingxin.
This feeling and scene can't help but make people feel warm and restless, happy and worried at the same time.
Yi Qingxin was afraid that Mei Yuanchen would miss this place if he rode too fast, so he kept walking back and forth outside the inn, looking eastward from time to time.
When he raised his head, he saw a maroon horse riding in the dust more than a hundred feet away. He looked carefully, but he didn't know who was coming.
For a moment, he waved his sleeves and spoke with a smile.
The strength of a thousand-mile horse is three feet in one breath, and the distance of a hundred feet can be covered in forty breaths.
"Hey~~~" The maroon horse had a pain in its nose and understood the driver's intention. During the march, its front legs suddenly hung in the air, and it stopped in half a circle.
Yi Qingxin had already walked in front of the horse and looked at Mei Yuanchen with a half-smile, half-annoyance, "Have you not had lunch yet? I asked the shopkeeper to warm up some food. Come and eat some."
When the waiter saw a visitor coming, he hurried over on foot, took the reins and led the horse to the stable for feeding.
There is no village for more than ten miles before and after here. Most of the people passing by here are travelers taking a break. They often ask the waiter to feed their mounts while taking a break from eating.
The young man who had always been there to welcome him had already become a human spirit. He took care of the matter first without waiting for Mei Yuanchen's instructions, which saved him a lot of unnecessary talk.
Yi Qingxin walked slowly in front, and Mei Yuanchen followed suit. The beautiful woman looked up frequently, her smile as bright as a summer flower, which made him not know how to deal with himself.
"How about I go and talk to Senior Yi and Palace Master Yun first?" Mei Yuanchen said quietly.
"Grandpa and Sister Yun have something to talk about, why are you going to disturb them?" Yi Qingxin turned around, tilted her head and smiled, "Just now the horse neighed so loudly, they can naturally hear that you are coming, so there is no need to bother. You Let’s have a meal first and fill our stomachs before we talk about anything else.”
What else could Mei Yuanchen say? And he was indeed a little hungry.
Garlic winter melon, braised chicken, beef bone soup and two temporarily fried poached eggs, this is the lunch that Yi Qingxin asked the store to prepare for Mei Yuanchen.
"Qingxin, there are so many dishes, how can I eat them all by myself?" Mei Yuanchen said with a smile.
"Who said it was prepared for you alone?" Yi Qingxin wrinkled her nose and said with an angry smile, "My stomach is growling with hunger."
During the previous lunch, she didn't feel hungry. Secondly, she was worried about it. She couldn't arouse her appetite when she looked at the dishes. She actually didn't eat any of them.
More than an hour had passed and her beloved had returned. Yi Qingxin felt hungry and unbearable.
The waiter brought two bowls of white rice and two pairs of Hsinchu chopsticks.
Yi Qingxin was obviously really hungry, so she picked up the chopsticks and picked up the largest piece of roast chicken. However, she did not put it into her mouth, but put it into Mei Yuanchen's bowl.
"Brother Yuanchen, eat quickly!" Yi Qingxin said with a smile.
The voice is soft and sweet, but it is a sharp weapon to attack the heart.
"Oh, you can eat too." Mei Yuanchen said with a smile. After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and quickly picked up his rice, not daring to look at the beautiful woman sitting opposite him.
Seeing that he seemed to be deliberately avoiding her, Yi Qingxin frowned and said angrily: "Humph, I gave you a big piece of meat, why don't you give me some food? Don't you know what courtesy means?"
Mei Yuanchen hurriedly stopped the chopsticks in his hand, raised his head, and responded blankly, "Huh?"
After waking up, he felt that he was too stupid, so he hurriedly picked a piece of chicken and put it in Yi Qingxin's bowl.
"I don't want to eat that. If you eat too much meat, you will gain weight, and gaining weight will make you look bad." Yi Qingxin put down her chopsticks and said angrily.
A girl's thoughts are the most difficult to guess, and she can be right or wrong.
"Fat? Why are you so fat?" Mei Yuanchen was suspicious, but did not dare to say anything. He said "Oh", picked up a poached egg, carefully placed it in front of Yi Qingxin's bowl, and said with a smile, "Qingxin, you Do you want to eat eggs? They smell delicious."
"It smells so good, then you can eat it yourself." Yi Qingxin smiled and shook her head.
Mei Yuanchen was about to put it down, but after hearing her words, he had to take it back, but he didn't know whether to put it back in the vegetable bowl or put it into his own rice bowl.
Seeing his silly look, Yi Qingxin couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Okay, give me this poached egg, and you can eat the rest." As she said this, she picked up the remaining poached egg. Put it in Mei Yuanchen's bowl.
"Brother Yuanchen, why don't you give me the egg you pinched?" Yi Qingxin said with a smile, her eyes almost narrowed to a slit.
"I'm so stupid!" Mei Yuanchen couldn't help cursing to himself again.
However, he didn't dare to delay any longer with his hands, and hurriedly placed the egg firmly on the rice in her bowl.
"Haha, eat quickly!" Yi Qingxin picked up the chopsticks and said with a sweet smile.
During this meal, Mei Yuanchen didn't finish the food in his bowl.
"Eat some more." Yi Qingxin picked up another piece of winter melon and put it in his bowl.
At this time, after three large bowls of rice, he was already full. Seeing that she was still picking up vegetables for him, his expression turned bitter and he said softly: "Qingxin, just eat more yourself. I...I really want to eat it." No more."
"But you only gave me a poached egg." Yi Qingxin said pitifully, "I'm not used to eating only white rice."
She made it clear that she relied on Mei Yuanchen, but she described her in such a bitter tone, which was really pitiful.
Seeing her cute and clever look at such a close distance, Mei Yuanchen knew he shouldn't, but couldn't help but couldn't help it. He said "Oh" and honestly gave her half a bowl of meat and vegetables.
The little plan succeeded, and Yi Qingxin finished the rest of the meal with a giggle.
... ...
"What kind of words! What kind of words do these sound like?" Yi Qilin shook his head and sighed angrily.
Just now, he and Yun Xiaomeng went out for a walk through the back door. When they saw Yi Qingxin teasing Mei Yuanchen to pick up food for her, he couldn't help but get so angry that his gray beard stood up.
"It's a pity that Yuan Chen is kind-hearted and allowed her to be at her mercy. Who could bear it if it were someone else?" Yi Qilin was so angry that he walked faster without realizing it.
Although it was not yet two o'clock in the morning, there were thick clouds in the sky, and the sun only occasionally shined.
Yi Qilin thought that Mei Yuanchen had traveled nearly three hundred miles to get here. Everyone was tired and it was not suitable to rush at the moment, so he called Yun Xiaomeng out of the inn to go for a walk, and he happened to see his granddaughter doing something evil.
If Yun Xiaomeng hadn't pulled him away, he would have walked over and reprimanded him.
"Alas! I can finally see that Qingxin is really affectionate towards Yuanchen. I'm afraid that my sister has a lover unintentionally, which will cause her to be frustrated and injured, and she will not be happy!" Yi Qilin stood with his hands behind his hands and spoke sternly.
Yun Xiaomeng didn't take it seriously, shook his head and said with a smile: "I can see it too. The most difficult thing is to reject a phoenix and ask for a phoenix. It should be the love of the man and the concubine."
