After the little fight, under Rong Qin's supervision, Pei Qi put all the remaining lanterns into the colorful lake.
The calm and beautiful lake is decorated with colorful lanterns, which is a rare beauty in the imperial capital.
Suddenly, Duan Qianjun's words in her room suddenly appeared in Pei Qi's mind. Thinking of the Queen Mother, Pei Qi no longer had any thoughts about admiring the lanterns.
If she wanted to get words out of Rong Qin's mouth, she would definitely be torn into pieces if she tried to act tough, but she really couldn't let go of her face to play seduction...
Besides, even if she grits her teeth and is willing to seduce Rong Qin, she must at least be able to move around the house freely first, right? She couldn't even get out of Qingxinyuan, and she even seduced him.
It would be better to get closer first, at least to dispel Rong Qin's suspicion about her, and then slowly talk to her.
But how is she going to get close to Rong Qin...
In distress, Pei Qi bent his knees and squatted on the shore, leaned down and played in the water.
At the same time, there was a slight pain in the wound on his waist, as if something had touched the wound.
Pei Qi straightened up slightly, freed one hand to touch his waist, took out the obstructive hard object, and put it in his hand for inspection.
I saw two pieces of jade spliced together in front of me, shining with a faint red light against the night sky. Although it was not too bright, it was enough to attract people's attention.
Aren't these the two pieces of jade I bought on the street before?
The boss also boasted that it was jade that fell from the sky and was extremely precious. She didn't think so before, but now that she saw it, she thought it was quite beautiful.
"What are you playing with?" Rong Qin was lying on his side in the pavilion by the river, leaning against a pillar and taking a nap with his eyes closed.
From time to time, he would half-squint his eyes to see if Pei Qi was doing any tricks.
Pei Qi, who was lost in thought, was startled by his sudden voice and muttered dissatisfied: "It's okay, what can I do..."
etc.
Jade?
Pei Qi suddenly paused before he finished speaking, and turned to look at the jade in his hand.
She might have thought of a way to have a good relationship with Rong Qin.
I just don’t know if Rong Qin will accept it...
Never mind him, a dead horse is a living doctor. Even if he doesn't use it, she won't lose anything. Anyway, Rong Qin bought this jade.
Thinking of this, Pei Qi raised the corner of his mouth, hid the two pieces of jade behind his back, walked quietly to the pavilion not far away, and slowly approached Rong Qin.
Rong Qin, who was closing his eyes to rest, noticed someone approaching. He knew it was Pei Qi without even thinking, so he continued to lean in, wanting to see what she was going to do.
Pei Qi, who thought she was walking silently, actually thought Rong Qin didn't notice her.
Arriving in front of Rong Qin, Pei Qi took out the slightly larger piece of jade from behind and held it in his hand. He quickly extended his hand to Rong Qin: "Rong Qin, guess this is..."
"what you up to?"
Unexpectedly, before Pei Qi finished speaking, Rong Qin, who had looked unguarded at first, suddenly opened his eyes and pinched her wrist, and the jade stone also fell from Pei Qi's hand with Rong Qin's movements. It fell off, leaving only a red string hanging between her fingers.
The half piece of white jade with red light lingering around it was swaying slightly between the two people in the gentle breeze at night.
Pei Qi was startled by this momentary action, and his surprised eyes met Rong Qin's half-closed lazy eyes. The noise of the Qiao Qiao Festival was also inexplicably ignored by them at this moment.
The feeling of being caught made Pei Qi a little overwhelmed, and he forgot to take his hand back for a moment, and just stayed there, allowing himself to be scrutinized under his nose at close range.
The last fireworks of the Qiqiao Festival also shot up from the ground into the sky at this time, and the city was filled with brilliance in an instant. Even the sun, moon and stars lost their color here.
Bystanders who were idle noticed the two figures in the pavilion, and looked at the talented people and beauties in the pavilion under the fireworks, feeling envious.
Fortunately, what they saw from a distance was the tranquility and tranquility of Lang Qingconcubine, and they had no idea what was going on.
Many days later, Rong Qin watched the begging lantern festival in the imperial capital again in a certain attic, and couldn't help but recall today.
Perhaps neither of them ever thought that their rivals in the DPRK and China, who were about to strangle each other to death when they met, would let go of their hostility for a moment on a festival that was only about the love between children.
Although he didn't know she was Pei Qi.
In the end, it was Rong Qin who broke the silence first.
He grabbed the jade hanging in front of him and played with it from side to side. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Pei Qi: "What? Do you want to use this thing to sneak attack on me?"
Pei Qi: "..."
Do you really think that everyone is as evil as you?
Pei Qi withdrew his hand and glared at Rong Qin dissatisfied: "What sneak attack? That's for you."
Begging for Qiao Qiao Festival gifts?
Rong Qin was still surprised by Pei Qi's answer.
He knew that Ye Rou had no romantic feelings for him, and could even be said to avoid him, so why would she give him something on such a day?
There must be something fishy about it.
Rong Qin saw through it without saying anything, but instead looked at the jade with more confidence.
Why does it look familiar...
After thinking for a while, Rong Qin remembered that Pei Qi had bought the jade from a roadside stall that time on the street, or that he had paid for it himself.
He smiled lightly without knowing why, and threw the jade stone to Tu You behind him, and then sarcastically said to Pei Qiming: "I'm giving it to you with what I bought with my money. It's really yours."
Pei Qi fell silent.
Well……
It seems he bought it.
But if Ye Rou hadn't left Qingxinyuan all year round and didn't have money on her body, would she have spent Rong Qin's money?
To put it bluntly, it’s still Lai Rongqin.
Thinking of this, Pei Qi felt emboldened and put his hands on his hips and said confidently: "If I hadn't brought any money with me, how would I have used your money?"
"Besides, you and I are a legitimate couple. You are so clear about your personal belongings, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by outsiders? Besides, if you really care about those few taels of silver, I will pay you back at the worst..."
He couldn't really ask her for money anyway.
But the next second...
"Okay then, you can give me back the original form, ten taels of silver, not a single bit less."
Rong Qin stood up and stared at her with a half-smile, as if he was deliberately trying to embarrass her.
Although the living environment in the Prime Minister's Mansion is not bad, because Ye Rou cannot leave Qingxinyuan, she is rejected by the money allocated by the housekeeper every month. Over time, Qingxinyuan is no longer considered by the housekeeper.
Therefore, Ye Rou didn't have any money in her hands. She just thought that he wouldn't really ask her for the drop in the bucket, so she was confident.
But he didn't.
After hearing Rong Qin's answer, Pei Qi was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, Rong Qin had already walked away.
Seeing this, Pei Qi hurriedly caught up with him and chirped next to him: "Why do you care about the few taels of silver with me when you are clearly not short of money? How can I pay you back while I am staying in Qingxinyuan?"
"Also, you obviously bought the jade for me voluntarily, how could you ask me for money?"
"It's unfair for you to do this to me!"
"Rong Qin!"
Although Pei Qi tried his best to argue, Rong Qin had no intention of talking to her.
Helpless, she could only turn around and look at Tu You resentfully.
"How about you return that piece of jade to me? I won't give it away."
Tu You: "..."
Tu You held the jade in his hand and looked down. He was about to hand it over as Pei Qi wanted, but he felt Rong Qin's gaze from afar.
Sure enough, Rong Qin, who was walking at the front, turned to look at the two of them.
He opened his mouth slightly, and his tone was slightly provocative: "This jade..."
"Once sent, it will not be returned."
