Even though many people wanted to ask Song Qingshu about his ability to summon wind and rain, now that Zhao Gou had left, his concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs could only leave as well. There were also guards with imperial weapons, guards in front of the palace, and guards of the Imperial City escorting him back to his sleeping quarters. The rest of the people had to return to their positions.
As for the officials, they knelt where they were and watched Zhao Gou leave. Song Qingshu naturally would not be foolish like those people. He took the umbrella from a eunuch, held the umbrella with one hand and wrapped his arm around Xiao Long Nu's slender waist with the other, and walked out of the palace.
Xiao Long Nu's gaze landed on his hand, and she could not help but blush. Logic told her that she should reject him, but her mind was filled with the image of Song Qingshu walking down from mid-air and smiling at her. She could not bring herself to say "let go".
"Wait a moment ~" The voice of the yellow-shirted woman suddenly came from behind. Xiao Long Nu's heart jumped, and she unconsciously took a step forward, leaving Song Qingshu's embrace.
"I have something to say to you." The yellow-shirted woman looked at Song Qingshu, and her gaze involuntarily drifted to Xiao Long Nu.
"I will wait for you over there." Xiao Long Nu was not originally so worldly, and it was completely because of her guilty conscience. She was afraid that the situation just now would be seen by others, and instinctively wanted to stay away from Song Qingshu.
"Here you go with the umbrella." Song Qingshu stuffed the umbrella into her hands, and their hands accidentally touched. That smooth and cold touch made his heart skip a beat.
Xiao Long Nu did not dare to look at the two of them, and walked to the side with the umbrella without a word.
Seeing that Song Qingshu was in the rain, the yellow-shirted woman hurriedly went over to cover the two of them with the umbrella. "You sure have tender feelings for the fairer sex." There was a hint of inexplicable meaning in her tone.
Song Qingshu smiled slightly. "Tender feelings for the fairer sex is an essential quality of a gentleman."
"What is a gentleman?" The yellow-robed woman was startled.
"Uh …" It was only then that Song Qingshu remembered the term from his previous world. The people in this world might not necessarily understand it. He explained, "You can understand it as a gentleman." At the same time, he secretly cursed in his heart. He was too embarrassed to tell this woman the other meaning of a gentleman.
Looking at Xiao Long Nu who was dozens of feet away, the night breeze brushed past, her white clothes fluttering, and her graceful figure, the yellow-clothed woman couldn't help but sigh, "Such a beautiful woman, I'm sure all men would become gentlemen for her."
"These men will also become gentlemen in front of Miss Yang." Song Qingshu comforted.
"Hehe, really?" The yellow-clothed woman declined to comment. "Some people in front of me are not only ungentlemanly, they are actually quite the scoundrel."
Song Qingshu blushed and hurriedly changed the topic, "Why are you looking for me?"
Pointing at the pitter-patter of rain outside the umbrella, the yellow-clothed woman's eyes were filled with a strange light. "How did you do it?"
Because of Song Qingshu's tall stature, the yellow-clothed woman had to tilt her head to look at him. Although her face was full of hope, the deepest impression in Song Qingshu's eyes was her tender and beautiful lips. He couldn't help but feel moved. He smiled and said, "Didn't you still owe me a kiss before? If you kiss me, I can consider telling you the answer."
The yellow-clothed woman's eyebrows twitched, a trace of anger flashing between her brows, but it was immediately replaced by bashfulness. Song Qingshu was shocked by the complex changes in her expression when the yellow-clothed woman suddenly stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek.
Like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water, the yellow-clothed woman quickly shrank back. Her slightly pale cheeks were now as red as a rose. "Okay, you can tell me now."
Song Qingshu subconsciously touched his cheek. For a moment, he didn't react. In his heart, the yellow-clothed woman had always been a cold and arrogant woman. She was comparable to Xiao Long Nu. The pride in his heart was even greater. He originally thought that with the yellow-clothed woman's temperament, she would never agree to his conditions. So, he deliberately said this to try to get rid of her. He didn't expect that she would actually kiss him.
Looking at her inadvertently revealing a shy expression, Song Qingshu's heart warmed. He subconsciously grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms. He aimed at those tender and beautiful red lips and kissed them.
"Mmm ~" The yellow-clothed woman's eyes instantly widened and her mind went blank. She thought to herself, how dare he treat me like this.
"Cough, cough ~" Suddenly, an untimely cough came from behind them.
Song Qingshu glanced over and saw Han Xingzhou standing not far away, staring at the two of them with a faint smile. How could the yellow-clothed woman stay there? She pushed him away and disappeared into the rain without looking back.
"Sir, you really are extraordinarily charming. Even Jianshan Academy's famous Ice Mountain Saintess was melted by you." Han Xingzhou walked over with a smile.
Song Qingshu rolled his eyes at him. "You appeared at the wrong time."
"Is that so?" Han Xingzhou cupped his chin and pointed in Xiao Long Nu's direction. "That Miss Long Nu seemed to be about to turn around. If she saw what happened just now, she would probably be sad."
Song Qingshu almost choked. "I don't have the time to talk about love with you. What do you want from me?" His tone was naturally not polite when his good time was interrupted.
Han Xingzhou didn't care. "Too many things happened today. I still haven't completely digested it. But we'll talk about the details later. The most important thing now is to arrange a residence for you. You promised to stay in Lin 'an with Miss Long. The imperial court has to know where you are going, so they sent me to find a residence for you. "
"It's convenient for you to monitor me, right?" Song Qingshu sneered.
"It's just to make some people feel at ease." Han Xingzhou smiled bitterly. "In fact, you and I both know that with your martial arts, no one can stop you if you want to leave. Those monitors are useless."
Song Qingshu shrugged. "Well, I hope that residence isn't too shabby."
"Of course it's not shabby. That residence used to be a royal prince's side residence …" Han Xingzhou explained to him as he made an inviting gesture.
"The maids and manservants are all ready-made. In addition, I will assign a team of guards to guard the house. Of course, with Young Master's martial arts, it doesn't matter if these people are here or not, but we still need to do this …" Han Xingzhou explained to Song Qingshu along the way. It didn't take them long to arrive at the house.
Pavilions, terraces, and pavilions, winding corridors, and high eaves. It could be seen that every detail was very particular. However, Song Qingshu was just talking about it. He was never a person who cared about such things. Xiao Long Nu was even more so. She could sleep as long as there was a rope.
The guards, maids, and manservants were already waiting in the mansion. When they saw Song Qingshu, Xiao Long Nu greeted him, "Greetings, Master, Madam."
These words caused Xiao Long Nu's face to blush, but Song Qingshu was overjoyed. He secretly praised these people for having good eyesight.
The maids led them into the inner residence. Looking at the spacious and bright bedroom, Song Qingshu couldn't find anything wrong with it even with his most critical eyes. In particular, he was most satisfied with the large and soft bed.
Han Xingzhou originally wanted to stay and inquire about Xiao Long Nu's identity, but Song Qingshu drove him away on the grounds that he had to treat her.
After Han Xingzhou left, Song Qingshu immediately ordered the maids to prepare a hot bath and change clothes. This caused the maids to all have strange expressions. Even Xiao Long Nu had an unnatural expression.
