"Feng Zishi, that's your lord, not your daughter. Don't be coaxed by her sweet words and forget everything, okay? "
Qiguan Rang had returned from his patrol and found that his lord had disappeared without a trace. He was furious!
Feng Zhen felt wronged too. How would he know that his lord was so treacherous?
His lord disappeared without a trace. His heart was tired.
Qiguan Rang let out a long sigh. "Fortunately, the aristocratic families in Chongzhou are holding each other back and can't recover for the time being. There's no need to worry even if my lord isn't here."
If Chongzhou really needed Jiang Pengji, according to his lord's personality, she wouldn't leave the mess behind and leave.
Now …
"Forget it, let her be."
Other than compromise, Qiguan Rang couldn't think of a second choice.
Feng Zhen sneered. "Wenzheng, you're talking about me. Aren't you the same?"
After saying that, Feng Zhen sighed in his heart and thought …
It wasn't that they were being played by their lord. It was clear that they spoiled their lord too much and deliberately let her have her way.
The two of them didn't know that their lord, who said she wanted to return to Wanzhou, had taken a small detour on her way back and turned to another place.
It was the height of summer and the sun was shining brightly.
Under the command of Wei Ci and the others, the main roads in Shangjing had been completed. The buildings in the city were also planned.
"Zixiao, eat some watermelon. This watermelon has been soaked in a well and is very cold. Eat some to relieve the heat so that you won't faint from the heat. "
Zhang Ping played the role of a nanny dutifully. He couldn't wait to serve Wei Ci, the porcelain beauty.
Wei Ci looked up at the sound and took a plate of watermelon from Zhang Ping.
The skin was peeled off and the flesh was cut into evenly sized pieces. It was placed on the plate.
It was bright red and looked very appetizing.
Wei Ci laughed. "How can I be so weak? You, on the other hand, are paying less and less attention to your appearance. "
Look at Zhang Ping's attire.
He was dressed in coarse linen clothes and his long hair was wrapped in a cloth. He also had a wet face cloth on his head to block the sun.
"Why else would they say that Zixiao is an immortal who descended from the heavens and we are mere mortals made of mud?" Shao Guang was panting heavily. His clothes were drenched in sweat again and again. The skin that was exposed was tanned to a dark brown color. He laughed and teased Wei Ci, "Zixiao, look at Xiheng and then look at Guang, one is darker than the other. On the other hand, your skin is still as white as snow. I am very jealous when I see it! "
Shao Guang had only joined Wanzhou later, but he, Wei Ci, and Zhang Ping had lived and eaten together at the construction site in Shangjing for a year, so they naturally had a deep bond.
Wei Ci smiled. His skin glowed faintly under the sunlight. He was as pure as a celestial being.
"What's there to be jealous of? In Ci's opinion, he's at a great disadvantage. " Wei Ci joked, "I spend a lot of time under the scorching sun every day, but my skin never gets tanned. Those who don't know what's going on might think that I'm slacking off and trying to fish in troubled waters! "
Wei Ci and Shao Guang were chatting and laughing when the messenger rushed over in a hurry.
Wei Ci furrowed his brows. "What happened?"
The messenger replied, "Reporting to the three sirs, the lord is outside the camp."
What!!!
The three of them widened their eyes in astonishment. Wei Ci, who had not sweated before, could not help but break out in fine, hot sweat on his forehead.
"Quickly go and welcome the lord!"
Jiang Pengji's arrival was too sudden. The three of them had not received any news at all.
After a flurry of activity, Wei Ci and the others finally saw Jiang Pengji.
They bowed respectfully. "Greetings, my lord."
"No need to be so polite. I was just about to rush back to Wanzhou from Chongzhou, so I stopped by to see you." Jiang Pengji dismounted from the horse and took off the bamboo hat on her head to block the sun. She stood in front of the three of them and let out a long sigh. "Zixiao has tanned. Xiheng and Chongming have also lost a lot of weight."
Zhang Ping and Shao Guang were speechless.
"It's not hard at all. It's my duty to share the lord's worries and burdens."
The three of them bowed again, but they could not help but complain in their hearts.
They said that Wei Ci had tanned. Are you sure there's nothing wrong with his eyes, my lord?
Jiang Pengji had rushed back to Wanzhou for important matters. She made a small detour to Shangjing, so she did not stay for long.
The night was cool. Jiang Pengji went to Wei Ci's door and knocked lightly.
"My lord?" Wei Ci was dressed in pajamas and had a light cloak draped over his shoulders. "What brings you here so late at night?"
Jiang Pengji entered in a flash and said with a smile, "Zixiao, did you receive the letter I sent you?"
Wei Ci's hand trembled and his heart skipped a beat. He had the urge to break into a run and run out of the house.
"I … I received it."
His heart was flustered and his mind was in a mess. His cheeks were flushed.
"It's good that you received it." Jiang Pengji sat down as if there was no one else around. She smiled and asked him, "Zixiao, do you have anything to say to me?"
It was dark in the house. Wei Ci could barely see the outline of a ball. He did not say a word and prepared to light the lamp.
"Zixiao, come here. There's no need to light the lamp."
Wei Ci could only retract his foot that had taken half a step and turn to sit near her.
As soon as he sat down, his right hand was held by a warm and slender hand. The heat seemed to rush through his skin straight to his heart.
"Zixiao, I missed you."
Jiang Pengji repeated the contents of the previous letter and asked again.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?"
It was too dark in the house. Wei Ci struggled to open his eyes wide, as if he wanted to see her expression clearly.
After a while, his lips moved and he spat out a few words.
"… My lord … Why do you have to do this?"
He gave up the idea of withdrawing his hand. Competing with the person in front of him with strength was simply asking for trouble.
Jiang Pengji said with a smile, "Zixiao, why do you have to do this? There's nothing wrong with being honest. "
Wei Ci was about to speak when a figure rushed into his arms.
Before he could react, he had already been pushed onto the mat.
At this moment, his heartbeat showed signs of breaking through the limit.
"Don't move. Let me lean on you."
Her voice was a little weak. He rarely heard it.
Even during the most dangerous times in his previous life, Her Majesty was so stubborn that she refused to give in.
Those who provoked her would be killed.
Those who blocked her would be slaughtered.
Wei Ci was in a daze. Two arms wrapped around his neck. He was so scared that he did not dare to move.
How did this look like weakness?
Suddenly, four words popped up in his mind — —
Showing weakness to the enemy!
After a while, Wei Ci listened to the person on top of him speak.
"I have a frog that I really, really like. Unfortunately, I can't bear to put a lid on it. I'll keep it for the time being."
Wei Ci was dumbfounded.
After a while, Jiang Pengji still had no intention of getting up.
"My lord, this … is improper."
Jiang Pengji said, "What are you worried about, Zixiao?"
Wei Ci fell into silence. He said, "My lord is a smart person. How can you not understand?"
No matter what, he just didn't want to become a stain and weakness for her again.
The experience of his previous life was just a dream.
Jiang Pengji was a little sullen. "At the end of the day, Zixiao just doesn't believe me."
She simply got up. Wei Ci felt empty instead.
"My lord …"
"What did you call me?"
Wei Ci choked.
Jiang Pengji burst into laughter. She did not want to really scare Wei Ci.
"If I had a female name, what do you think I should be called?"
Wei Ci was speechless.
He was not scared, but he was scared silly.
He was sure that his disguise had been exposed by his lord.
"Zixiao, trust me this once."
Wei Ci was flustered.
"That 'Jiang Pengji' can't protect you, but I will never make the same mistake."
She thought about it and felt that it was better to put a lid on the frog and suffocate it.
