Han Yunxi pretended to be arrogant and bossy, causing the mermaid soldiers beside her to look over. They were so angry that they almost flew into a rage, but in the end, they held it in.
Xu Donglin snickered and hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, His Highness can only see you tomorrow. As for the other side, hehe, there is a bonfire banquet tomorrow night. Time is tight, so we must hurry up and prepare. "
Han Yunxi said that just now because she wanted to find out news about Long Fei Ye. Hearing that Long Fei Ye would be back tomorrow, she was overjoyed. "Why is there a bonfire banquet? Who is it to welcome?"
In her impression, the bonfire banquet in the army was a rather grand banquet, so there must be a reason for it.
"Princess, tomorrow is the seventh day of the seventh month, the Qiqiao Festival," Xu Donglin said.
Han Yunxi suddenly realized that tomorrow was the seventh day of the seventh month!
The seventh day of the seventh month was celebrated as Valentine's Day in modern times, but in ancient times, it also had the meaning of Valentine's Day. Qiqiao, qiqiao, women not only prayed for dexterity on this day, they also prayed for wealth, a happy and sweet marriage, and children.
This festival was considered a women's festival. Han Yunxi did not understand why the army celebrated this festival.
"We are all men, why celebrate the Qiqiao Festival?" She asked disdainfully, "Could it be that your crown prince likes this festival?"
The mermaid soldiers looked over again, their faces full of anger. Why was this woman mocking the crown prince for no reason? What did the crown prince do to provoke her? The crown prince was already extremely benevolent for not imprisoning her! However, Xu Donglin snickered.
In the past, when His Highness was away for a few days, the princess would at most ask. Many times, she was so busy that she did not even know that His Highness had gone out and returned. But now, it had only been a few days, and she was talking about His Highness for a while.
Xu Donglin thought that it must be because they had been separated for too long and missed each other badly. Absence makes the heart grow fonder!
"Princess, there is a tradition in the Baili army. During the Qiqiao Festival, the soldiers' wives and children are allowed to send gifts, and there is a quota for family members to visit. If the army was marching to war and could not visit, General Baili would hold a banquet to celebrate the festival with everyone. This year, His Highness will be in the army, so naturally he will be with the army. We've already finished setting up the garrisoned area, so we should also set up a place for our main camp. Tomorrow night, His Highness will have a few cups of wine in the garrison area and will come over. "
Xu Donglin paused for a moment before adding, "That's why we have to prepare for tonight's event. Please forgive us, Your Highness."
"Is that so?" Han Yunxi nodded and asked teasingly, "Alright then. Tell His Highness that this princess's sleep was disturbed tonight. Have him toast to this princess tomorrow night as an apology!"
"Don't even think about it!" The mermaid soldier couldn't take it anymore.
Xu Donglin immediately winked at him, indicating that he should not cause trouble and bring trouble to himself.
Xu Donglin was His Highness's favorite. Apart from Baili Yuanlong, almost everyone in the tent had to give him face. The mermaid soldiers naturally didn't dare disobey him. They turned their heads away. What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. This one will definitely pass on Your Highness's message. Princess, please go back." Xu Donglin winked at Han Yunxi as he spoke. Han Yunxi went back, perfectly satisfied.
After putting on this show with Xu Donglin, she had ample reason for Long Fei Ye to invite her to the banquet. When the time came, Baili Yuanlong wouldn't be able to stop her. In any case, there was a place in the main camp, so she didn't have to go out and show her face in public.
After confirming that Long Fei Ye would be back tomorrow, Han Yunxi was no longer upset. Since she couldn't sleep, she sat up to cultivate.
The third level of the poison storage space was much more taxing than the previous two levels. Previously, she would always feel refreshed after finishing her cultivation, but now that she had reached the third level, she had to take a nap to regain her energy.
She didn't know if it was because she hadn't cultivated in a long time, but this time, Han Yunxi was really exhausted. She fell into a deep sleep at the first glimmer of dawn.
The next morning, Long Fei Ye and Baili Yuanlong returned. Both of them were travel-worn from the night's journey.
When their horses reached the main camp, the soldiers immediately came to lead them. After Long Fei Ye dismounted, he glanced at Han Yunxi's tent and saw Xu Donglin sitting at the entrance.
Baili Yuanlong dismounted and said, "Your Highness, hurry and rest. You'll have to host tonight's bonfire banquet. Many of the soldiers in the barracks haven't seen you before. They're all looking forward to it! "
Long Fei Ye grunted and strode toward the main tent. When he passed by Han Yunxi's tent, Xu Donglin had already stood up to salute him.
Long Fei Ye was clearly in a hurry, but he still stopped in front of Han Yunxi's tent. Xu Donglin immediately came over.
"Has she been well-behaved these past few days?" Long Fei Ye asked.
Baili Yuanlong also paid attention when he heard this.
"The Western Qin princess has been wandering around outside these past few days, spending most of her time in her tent. It's not convenient for this subordinate to go in and I don't know what she's doing. Just last night, the soldiers woke her up when they were building firewood. She said that tonight's banquet would be Your Highness' punishment to apologize to her. "Xu Donglin reported.
Baili Yuanlong immediately snorted, "Self-righteous! She has no right to attend my East Qin army's banquet! "
Xu Donglin glanced at Long Fei Ye. Long Fei Ye didn't say whether Han Yunxi would be invited or not. He Coldly said, "Call her out."
Xu Donglin shouted a few times through the curtains, but there was no response.
"What's going on?" Long Fei Ye's eyes flashed with a trace of anxiety.
Xu Donglin naturally knew what was going on. The princess had been sleeping day and night these past few days. She hadn't come out the entire morning, so she must be sleeping in right now.
However, Xu Donglin didn't explain. He slapped his thigh. "Aiyo, nothing bad happened, right? The princess hasn't come out the entire morning. Your Highness, General, the Western Qin princess wouldn't have … run away, right? "
As soon as his voice fell, Long Fei Ye charged in.
"Han Yunxi!" Long Fei Ye cried out in alarm.
No matter how deeply Han Yunxi slept, she was immediately awakened. In her daze, she heard Long Fei Ye's figure and immediately got up to lift the curtains.
Her face was languid and sleepy, and her waist-length hair was casually scattered. Her nightgown was lightly tucked in, revealing her well-proportioned fair legs and snow-white jade-like arms. Her clothes were loose and overlapping, revealing her deep cleavage.
Long Fei Ye was instantly stunned, but Han Yunxi woke up the moment she saw him.
At that moment, Baili Yuanlong also caught up. "Your Highness, what's …"
The moment Baili Yuanlong came in, Long Fei Ye suddenly flew forward and pushed Han Yunxi into the inner room, then casually lowered the thick curtains.
Han Yunxi was caught off guard and almost fell. Fortunately, Long Fei Ye caught her wrist in time. She leaned back, and her nightgown also fell back, leaving both sides completely open.
She really wasn't used to wearing the ancient people's underwear because it was too thin. She had to wear several layers to cover it up. That wine-red color was her custom-made chest.
But even so, how could that wine-red color cover her proud peaks?
Long Fei Ye's eyes met hers, and his gaze couldn't help but move downwards. He always looked at her beauty with a scrutinizing gaze, even a little serious, which made Han Yunxi feel a lingering fear.
This guy was actually the scariest and most domineering when he was serious. Even she didn't have any room for negotiation.
Baili Yuanlong was still outside. Having seen Long Fei Ye lose control, Han Yunxi was really worried. She hurriedly pulled up her clothes to cover herself and whispered, "Long Fei Ye!"
At that moment, Baili Yuanlong was already asking loudly, "Your Highness, are you inside? Did something happen? Is Han Yunxi still here? Is she alright? "
Long Fei Ye was actually indifferent and even stared at her.
Han Yunxi was anxious. Just as she was about to remind him in a low voice, Long Fei Ye suddenly pulled her over. The moment she drew close, he buried his head in the deep ravine in front of her and took a fierce bite. After pausing for a moment, he released her and turned to leave.
Han Yunxi was stunned. She stood in place, feeling as if something was teasing her body and heart. She felt an indescribable restlessness, but also a sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction.
"Long Fei Ye! Long Fei Ye! "She cursed wildly in her heart." Despicable! "
Separated by a curtain, Long Fei Ye expressionlessly said to Baili Yuanlong, "She's asleep. Later, have Baili Mingxiang arrange for a maidservant to serve her."
There were no maids in the army, and there were pitifully few womenfolk. They could only find Baili Mingxiang or Zhao mama.
"Yes! It's good that she's fine. Your Highness should hurry and rest, "Baili Yuanlong replied.
After Long Fei Ye and Baili Yuanlong left, Han Yunxi's heart was still thumping wildly. By the time she hurriedly dressed and chased after them, Long Fei Ye had already returned to the main tent.
"When did you come back? Why didn't you wake me up!" Han Yunxi whispered.
Xu Donglin looked innocent. "Master, His Highness set off late last night and arrived at least one envoy ahead of time. This subordinate didn't expect it either!"
"He traveled all night?" Han Yunxi's heart ached. She originally wanted Xu Donglin to think of a way to let her see Long Fei Ye, but now that she thought about it, it was better to let him rest.
Tonight's bonfire party was bound to last until late into the night. Although his body was in good condition, she couldn't bear to torment him like this.
"Master, Baili Yuanlong doesn't allow you to attend tonight's party. His Highness didn't say anything, so I don't know if you can attend." Xu Donglin reminded her. "His Highness is probably preparing to take a bath. This subordinate will go and ask after he rests."
Han Yunxi nodded and didn't say anything. She thought that she would have to wait until tonight to have a chance to speak with Long Fei Ye alone.
Ever since she had mentioned her background in the carriage, they hadn't had a chance to speak alone for several days. She didn't know what Long Fei Ye thought of that matter.
Han Yunxi could only wait.
Not long after, Zhao mama led a few Shadow Guards over with ten boxes.
The mermaids immediately surrounded them. "Zhao mama, this is …?"
Zhao mama complained, "This old lady has lived for so long, but I've never seen a woman like her! His Highness gave her some color, and she could open up a dyehouse! She went straight to her nose! She actually asked for ten boxes of clothes and accessories from His Highness. If he didn't give it, she said that she wanted Western Qin to send it over. Hehe, if we didn't send it to her, those who didn't know would think that our East Qin couldn't even compare to a box of clothes and accessories! Tell me, isn't this infuriating? "
The mermaid soldiers had been suppressed by Xu Donglin for the past few days, so they didn't dare speak up. Hearing Zhao mama's loud scolding, they were very happy and immediately agreed. Zhao mama took the chance to tell them to quickly send the things in so that they wouldn't be rushed. Thus, the ten chests were carried into the tent without a hitch.
Han Yunxi had already heard Zhao mama's singing. She looked at the ten boxes suspiciously with a face full of doubt. She left with the Shadow Guards before asking, "Zhao mama, what's going on? What is this? "
