After dinner, everyone dispersed.
After Cai Xing had eaten enough, he took Bai Yanqing and wandered around the house casually, thinking of taking a walk to eat!
Under the dark night, a few flickering lights fluttered in the cold wind.
Bai Yanqing only felt that one foot was deep and one foot was shallow. If he didn't step carefully, he might fall. Bai Yanqing's arm was held by Cai Xing. The soft arms calmed Bai Yanqing's uneasy mood a little.
"elder sister……"
After a long time, Caixing suddenly called Bai Yanqing.
"Um?"
Bai Yanqing responded lightly while looking at her feet.
"How is Sister Xiyue in the palace? Did they... make things difficult for you today?"
Caixing asked anxiously.
Although Bai Yanqing didn't mention anything after returning home today, Cai Xing could still sense that Bai Yanqing seemed to have something on her mind.
"There's nothing else, it's just that... when I was in the palace, Concubine Xian stopped me and asked me to help Emperor Xiyue and Yun Kai. Because... the emperor doesn't agree with their marriage!"
Bai Yanqing didn't want to hide anything from Cai Xing. Now, taking advantage of her free time, she told Cai Xing everything that happened in the palace that morning.
Regarding Xi Yue's matter, Bai Yanqing originally felt that Cai Xing should know.
"Expected!"
Cai Xing's eyes were a little wandering. She was staring at the road under her feet, but she was thinking about something else.
"You think, can we go back to the past?"
Cai Xing paused at his feet and said something profound.
Bai Yanqing was stunned and didn't say anything for a moment. She was wondering why Cai Xing suddenly said this!
"Sister...if you can help Sister Xiyue and the fifth prince, then try to help them. If...you really can't help, don't force yourself to do it!"
Cai Xing's voice was soft and shallow, and she couldn't hear the ups and downs of her emotions, but Bai Yanqing could still hear the slight hint of... resignation in her words.
"It's so cold! Let's go back quickly!"
Just when Bai Yanqing was still secretly guessing what Caixing's words meant. Cai Xing suddenly tugged on Bai Yanqing's sleeve, and then said "cold" in his mouth, and his body shivered slightly!
Seeing Caixing like this, Bai Yanqing couldn't ask any more questions, so she had to let her pull him back.
In the courtyard of Nianchu Xiaozhu, Aunt Li and Aunt Zhao lit up all the lights in the courtyard early! Now, when Bai Yanqing and the others come back, their eyes will not be darkened!
"Yuan Li, Mo Ran, come out quickly and see what delicious food I have brought for you!"
Bai Yanqing put the food box in his hand into the small kitchen, and then called Mo Ran and Yuan Li out.
As soon as he heard that there was food, Yuan Li suddenly felt wind at his feet and ran faster than anyone else!
The food in the food box was a little cold, so Mo Ran quickly lit a fire, heated the pot, and steamed all the food again! Then, Mo Ran picked out a few more easy-to-digest snacks and sent them to Aunt Zhao and Aunt Li!
It has to be said that Mo Ran is really impeccable in all aspects of his life! As expected of someone who came from Yunqi Mansion!
In the small kitchen, Bai Yanqing was laughing and playing with Mo Ran and Yuan Li.
Caixing stood at the door of the small kitchen, looking at the happy scene inside, his eyes slightly sore. It's great, with Mo Ran and Yuan Li, her Bai sisters have a lot more smiles on their faces! I don’t know how long I can live like this!
Cai Xing retreated quietly and walked into the courtyard. She looked up at the sky. Under the dark sky, there was nothing but a few lights!
I wonder if Lingyu and Mrs. Qingluan are still used to it in the capital?
At this time, Cai Xing suddenly thought of Ling Yu. Ever since they returned to the capital and the group dispersed, Ling Yu has never appeared again! As if overnight, Caixing lost news about Lingyu and Mrs. Qingluan!
Thinking of this, Cai Xing felt a little flustered for no reason.
Come!
Tomorrow, we must send someone to find Ling Yu! Caixing thought to himself.
For some reason, now, whenever Cai Xing starts to think wildly and feels restless, she always thinks of Ling Yu, as if...she feels more at ease only when Ling Yu is by her side!
"Although we can't go back to the past, we can look forward to the future! We can work together for a better future! I hope that we will have each other's presence for the rest of our lives, what do you think?"
At some point, Bai Yanqing walked quietly behind Cai Xing. She looked at the dark night and suddenly said. Cai Xing, who was still in a trance, was shocked!
Caixing was surprised by Bai Yanqing's appearance, and what surprised her even more was Bai Yanqing's words. Obviously, Bai Yanqing listened to what Cai Xing said on the road just now!
"Sister, if...I mean if, if one day, I really have to return to Star-Moon Kingdom, then can we still see each other?"
A touch of sadness crept onto Cai Xing's brow. She turned around and looked at Bai Yanqing, her round eyes looking unusually clear under the candlelight.
"Of course we can! Now, it's only a few dozen days away, so how can we not see each other for the rest of our lives?"
Bai Yanqing stretched out her finger, tapped Caixing's forehead, and said with a smile.
"Then... do you want me to return to Xingyue Kingdom, or do you want me to stay in Chen Kingdom?"
Caixing stared at Bai Yanqing with bright eyes, and the annoyance in his heart did not diminish at all.
"Privately, of course I hope you stay in the Chen Kingdom and stay with me! However, you are the Empress of the Star-Moon Kingdom! We all know in our hearts that you cannot stay in the Chen Kingdom for the rest of your life!"
Bai Yanqing didn't mind that the words had come to this point, and made it clear that Cai Xing, the governor, had been thinking wildly and worrying about himself all day long.
After all, in the past two days, Cai Xing's eyebrows had rarely relaxed.
"Although you have the grace of Her Majesty the Queen to stay in the Chen Kingdom temporarily, one day you will still have to return to the place that belongs to you. If you are not destined for the throne, maybe we still have more Time is with us! But if...you are destined to that throne, even if we don't see each other for several years, it is possible! But no matter what, I always believe that we will not be limited by time or region! We are still us! What has changed is the environment we live in, not our original intentions and friendship.”
Bai Yanqing stepped forward, gently held Cai Xing's hands, and comforted her.
Although Bai Yanqing knew that the two of them would one day be separated, for now, she cherished their daily interactions! She has never complained about Cai Xing's life experience, because Bai Yanqing understands that everyone has their own life, and no one will stay with others all the time!
A lifetime can be said to be long or short. Instead of worrying about the future, it is better to live a good life in the present.
"Miss, it's late at night and it's time to go to bed."
At that time, Mo Ran suddenly appeared. She saw Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing standing in the cold wind for a long time. She was afraid that they would get cold, so she couldn't help but speak out to remind them.
Bai Yanqing turned around, gave a faint smile, and then nodded in agreement.
Until Cai Xing returned to her room, her brows could not relax!
"Miss, in my humble opinion, you don't need to bother trying to persuade her. There are some things that even a hundred times of persuasion from others are not as good as her own awakening!"
Mo Ran spread the quilt on Bai Yanqing's bed and said to Bai Yanqing without looking back.
Hearing what Mo Ran said, Bai Yanqing immediately understood that Mo Ran must have listened to what she and Cai Xing said in the courtyard just now!
Mo Ran's words also made Bai Yanqing suddenly enlightened! Indeed, no matter how much others say, it is all in vain. Only when you understand and think things through can you get rid of troubles!
Thinking of this, Bai Yanqing no longer struggled with how to persuade Cai Xing!
It was late at night, so Mo Ran made Bai Yanqing's bed, lit the stove, and then left respectfully.
Mo Ran has always been a person who understands etiquette and knows how to advance and retreat. Bai Yanqing understands this very well! she likes this very much
The ink stain!
All the candles in the room were extinguished, leaving only one at the door. This was Bai Yanqing's habit for many years. She is slightly afraid of the dark, and Cai Xing has always known it for so many years! So in the past, Cai Xing would leave a candlelight alone for Bai Yanqing every night! How many times have I had nightmares in the middle of the night? When I opened my eyes and saw the flickering candlelight, Bai Yanqing could instantly feel a surge of warmth in her heart, allowing her body to tremble with fear from the nightmare, and find some relief!
It seems that this habit needs to be changed!
Bai Yanqing sighed secretly, then lifted up the quilt, stepped on the ground with bare feet, walked quickly to the door, and blew out the candle that was left alone!
Just when Bai Yanqing turned around and was about to walk back to the bed, unexpectedly, she ran into a warm embrace!
"You come back so secretly!"
Bai Yanqing didn't panic at all. She struggled to break away from the warm embrace, tiptoed, quickly ran to the bed, and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt!
Even though the stove was lit in the room, the ground was still bitingly cold, and my toes were so cold that they hurt! Bai Yanqing nestled in the quilt and shivered slightly!
"Since you know it's cold here, why don't you put on your shoes properly?"
The visitor sat beside Bai Yanqing's bed, stretched out his slender arms, and took her into his arms, including the quilt.
"It's so late, why are you here, Your Highness?"
Bai Yanqing huddled under the quilt and spoke to the visitor in a muffled voice.
That's right, the person coming is none other than Yun Qi!
"The things are done, let's take a look at you! As soon as I came in, I saw your bare feet on the ground!"
Yun Qi was so angry that he slapped Bai Yanqing's butt with a little force.
"Your Highness!"
Bai Yanqing suddenly blushed with embarrassment. Fortunately, the lights in the room were turned off and Yun Qi couldn't see her face!
"Tomorrow, do you need me to accompany you to Ji Mansion?"
Yun Qi hugged Bai Yanqing tightly and suddenly said seriously.
Bai Yanqing didn't say anything. After a long time, Yun Qi thought that Bai Yanqing had fallen asleep, and then he heard Bai Yanqing's reply!
"No need, if grandpa sees His Highness, he will surely be even more worried!"
Bai Yanqing sighed and replied.
The marriage between Yunqi and the Bai family has already made the emperor very afraid. If the Ji family is added to the mix, I'm afraid the emperor will be even more...
"Then I will ask Ziyue to follow you secretly. When the time comes, if there is an emergency, you can just call him!"
For Bai Yanqing's safety, Yun Qi finally decided to let Yuan Ziyue follow Bai Yanqing secretly.
"The new year is coming, Your Highness also wants Ziyue to take a rest and take a few breaths! Send him to do everything else! Looking back, Sister Bizhi should blame Your Highness!"
Bai Yanqing chuckled and told Yun Qi, but you can tell it by looking at Lai Bizhi's face today!
Yuan Ziyue didn't show up all day today. Lai Bizhi was obviously a little unhappy, and his face didn't look very happy. He often hid aside alone, secretly in a daze, as if thinking. Others don't know why, but Bai Yanqing can see it at a glance!
Lai Bizhi is lovesick!
"We haven't seen each other for just one day, but Miss Lai misses Ziyue so much. Unlike some people who don't like her, she doesn't even think about her future husband!"
There is something in Yunqi's words. There was obviously a hint of complaint and dissatisfaction in his words.
Bai Yanqing hid under the quilt and smiled. Every time Yunqi was next to her, he was like a little baby begging for candy!
"To achieve great things, don't stick to trivial matters! Your Highness, don't worry about these trivial matters!"
Bai Yanqing said deliberately.
Hearing this, Yun Qi felt a little unhappy again!
"As long as I, a little girl, care about these little things, that'll be fine!"
After that, before Yun Qi could react, Bai Yanqing's head suddenly came out of the quilt! Then, he raised his head and placed a shallow kiss on Yunqi's cheek.
The soft touch made Yunqi feel better! He only felt that his head
, it seems like fireworks are exploding! He was so shocked that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time!
After Yun Qi calmed down, he realized that the little man in his arms had fallen asleep without knowing it!
