That day, when the two returned home.
Qin Xi made a table full of dishes.
All of them were Lang Po's favorites.
He picked up a piece of mapo tofu and said, "His Highness used to like this the most."
Qin Xi didn't know how many times she had heard him mention the prince.
He even mentioned it when eating!
He even mentioned it when drinking water!
He even mentioned it when sleeping!
He even mentioned it when walking on the road!
In short, ever since he came here, he had been saying 'His Highness' almost every day.
He couldn't stop talking.
After listening to his words, Qin Xi smiled but didn't say anything.
Lang Po continued, "There was a time when His Highness ate it every day, but he couldn't get tired of it. I didn't like it at first, but as I followed His Highness, I started to like it more and more."
Qin Xi scooped a spoonful of tofu and gave it to him, "Then eat more."
"Okay."
However, Lang Po didn't notice that Qin Xi's face had gradually darkened.
At night, Lang Po was alone in the courtyard, lying on the rocking chair.
He kicked his toes.
He looked at the swaying branches above his head.
The moonlight shone on the leaves, and the mottled shadows fell on his face and body.
He didn't know that at this moment, Qin Xi was looking at him through the window.
There was an inexplicable emotion in her eyes.
She poured a glass of water and went out of the room. She placed it beside Lang Po and accompanied him to look at the swaying branches and the hazy moonlight.
That night —
Neither of them spoke.
The next day.
Qin Xi pulled him to sit down.
The atmosphere was very solemn.
"What's wrong, Xi 'er?"
"I have something to tell you." Qin Xi was very serious.
Lang Po was confused, "What?"
He saw Qin Xi take out a sachet, put it on the table in front of her, and pushed it to him.
"This is?"
"I sewed it overnight for you to wear."
Sewed overnight?
Why in such a hurry?
Lang Po picked it up and looked at it. The sachet was very beautiful.
There were no mandarin ducks embroidered on it, only a few pieces of bamboo.
But the bamboo was so lifelike!
As if it was right in front of his eyes.
He praised, "You've done very well."
"In the future, when I'm not by your side, you must remember to take it with you. You can't leave it."
"Huh? What? "Lang Po was surprised.
A pair of confused eyes stared straight at Qin Xi. Qin Xi's face was full of reluctance. She held back the tears in her eyes and said, "Big Brother Lang, did you know? Being able to be with you during this period of time is the happiest time for me. I have never been so happy before! I also really want to be with you forever and never be separated. But your heart.
There are still a lot of things that I can't let go of. How can I be so selfish to let you stay by my side? Seeing you depressed all day, I feel even sadder than you! "
"Xi 'er, I …"
"Go look for His Highness! Go help him finish what he wants to do. When everything settles down, come back and find me. I will always be here waiting for you, waiting for you to come back. "
Lang Po was very surprised and asked her in disbelief, "Are you serious?"
She nodded heavily. "I'm very serious! Actually, during the time we were together, you might not have realized it yourself.
Almost every word you say is related to Wangye. You can think of him in everything. Even if you see a fish swimming in the water, you will think of him. "
"Sorry, I …"
"Don't say sorry to me." Qin Xi said, "You didn't do me wrong. I am already very satisfied that you can put aside everything and come here to find me. Just remember, after everything is done, you must come back and find me."
Although Lang Po was reluctant, he had to admit that Qin Xi was right!
He nodded seriously. "Okay, I promise you. When I go to Huyi to find His Highness and help him and Miss Ji settle everything, I will immediately come back to find you."
Qin Xi's eyes reddened.
Then she threw herself into his arms.
She cried softly.
"Brother Lang, you must promise me."
"I promise you!"
Lang Po hugged her tightly.
That day, Qin Xi packed his luggage for him.
She gave him a lot of instructions.
Finally, Lang Po was on his way.
…
On the other side, Gao Ding.
A horse carriage hurried to the city gate.
The guard at the gate stopped the carriage.
"Who is in the carriage? Come down for a routine inspection. "
The man on the horse said, "Marquis Pingyang's residence."
"Marquis Pingyang's residence?" The guard thought for a moment and said, "But there have been no carriages from Marquis Pingyang's residence leaving the city recently! Do you have a token? "
No!
Marquis Pingyang's token wasn't given out casually.
A token was equivalent to the authority of a marquis!
How could those insignificant people have one?
Seeing that he didn't take it out for a long time, the guard wondered if there was something fishy going on in the carriage.
He approached the carriage with the longsword in his hand.
Suddenly —
The curtain of the carriage was pulled open.
A figure peeked out.
Li Cheng glared at the guards at the gate and said, "Don't you recognize this heir?"
Ugh!
The guard saw that it was this fellow!
He was frightened on the spot.
He quickly greeted him with a smile.
"Oh, so it's Heir Cheng!"
Li Cheng scolded, "Get out of the way if you know him!"
"Yes, yes, yes." The guard quickly retreated and gave the order to make way.
Li Cheng sat back in the carriage.
Only then did the carriage enter the city.
A person who had just been transferred to Gao Ding to serve as a city gate official asked the person next to him, "Who is this person?"
The guard said, "The heir of Marquis Pingyang's residence!"
"Ah?"
"You have to look carefully. Don't offend him."
"Why?"
As soon as the new guard asked, the other guards laughed.
"Just remember this. It's better to offend a lowly person than the heir of Marquis Pingyang's residence. That person is a famous little tyrant in Gao Ding!"
That 'little tyrant' was very loud.
Now that Li Cheng was back, Gao Ding would probably turn upside down again!
And those young ladies who knew that he was back would probably trample the gates of Marquis Pingyang's residence again.
Inside the carriage.
Li Wenshu looked sternly at Li Cheng, who was a little smug.
She reprimanded him, "Don't be so ostentatious."
"Ostentatious?" Li Cheng opened the folding fan in his hand and said, "Sister, how did you see that I was ostentatious? I just showed my face and asked those people to let us into the city. "
"Anyway, don't be too ostentatious!"
"I know, I know!" Li Cheng was obviously a little impatient. He asked again in puzzlement, "Oh yes, sister, I just left Gao Ding not long ago! Why are they so strict about entering and leaving the city now? Did something big happen in the capital? "
In the past, the guards would not check so strictly when entering and leaving Gao Ding's city gates.
What had happened?
Why did it suddenly become like this?
Li Wenshu thought about it and was also puzzled.
