His lips hooked up and there was some evilness in his smile as he slowly said, "It seems that the Emperor has given the Empress a cold shoulder."
Bai Lu's eyes widened. This Xie Jing Xing's words were too presumptuous but she did not dare to directly drag Shen Miao away in case Shen Miao made any noise and alarmed others, then she would not be able to clear her name.
After Shen Miao finished drinking, she swayed as she picked up the wine jar and poured a full bowl before handing it to Xie Jing Xing, "You also drink."
"Why should I drink?" Xie Jing Xing was baffled.
"You and BenGong are in the same boat." Shen Miao said.
"Who is in the same boat as you?" Xie Jing Xing found it funny. Shen Miao had already raised the wine bowl and was about to feed it to his mouth.
Bai Lu turned pale with fright. This was too ambiguous. Tie Yi was also extremely surprised but Xie Jing Xing did not speak so he would not make a move.
Xie Jing Xing was caught off guard and when he pushed Shen Miao away, a lot of wine spilled onto his clothes but when he looked at Shen Miao, he finally smiled in satisfaction. She said, "You and I have a bowl of wine of affection. When you return in triumph, then come and watch the fireworks with BenGong."
Xie Jing Xing felt that today was really inexplicable. So when a female was drunk, they would not be rational. Even the usually dignified and elegant Empress was like a different person.
"Your Highness the Empress, it is better to find His Majesty to watch." He tidied up his clothes.
Shen Miao was sad, "BenGong have never watched fireworks with him."
Xie Jing Xing stared at the female opposite. Her head was slightly lowered and the corner of her mouth was raised but her eyes were bitter. His heart inexplicably softened a little and said, "Good, good, good. This official promises you."
Shen Miao's eyes brightened as she looked at him, "Then it is settled."
Xie Jing Xing nodded his head.
Shen Miao thought about it and shook her head, "Words have no basis. One must have a token." She then started to touch the hairpin in her hair.
Bai Lu was surprised for a moment and secretly thought that it was not good. If the Empress' thing was on Xie Jing Xing's body, then it would be a crime of adultery. He was afraid that Shen Miao would give any handkerchief or hairpin to the other party and suddenly saw the red string on Shen Miao's wrist, he had an inspiration and said, "Your Ladyship, your red string is very good."
Shen Miao's eyes landed on the red rope and her heart moved. She quickly untied it and took Xie Jing Xing's hands and tied it for him seriously.
Xie Jing Xing's gaze landed on her slightly raised eyelashes. They were moist and seemed to be mixed with the cold air of winter. It inexplicably made one's heart itch.
Shen Miao fastened it for him and smiled at him, "This is BenGong's token for you. Take this as a letter and wait for your triumphant return!"
"Thank you, Your Highness." Xie Jing Xing smiled carelessly, "But this official does not have any token to give to Empress. Why don't I give the Empress a wish? "
"Wish?" Shen Miao looked at him.
"When we meet again in triumph, this subject can grant Your Highness a wish. The wish that Your Highness wants, this subject can fulfill it. I will do my best to fulfill it."
Shen Miao said, "It is a promise."
"It is a promise."
With a 'boom' sound, a corner of the sky was once again illuminated by the bright fireworks. Both of them looked at it at the same time but it was as if they had a tacit understanding and were exceptionally in sync.
Bai Lu was also stunned.
Fireworks were fleeting but some things would not disappear, such as this night.
When Shen Miao woke up again, she only felt a splitting headache. As she rubbed her forehead, she stood up and walked to the table, "Actually slept for such a long time."
Bai Lu brought the hot soup to her and said, "Your Highness drank too much yesterday. Sober up first."
"Drank too much?" Shen Miao's movements paused, "One did not drink much at the Palace banquet."
Bai Lu was somewhat guilty, "Most likely the wine in the Palace banquet was too strong."
Shen Miao nodded her head and sighed, "BenGong's bad habit of not remembering anything once drunk has not changed for so many years. But it has been a long time since I was drunk."
Bai Lu nodded her head and heard Shen Miao looking at her empty wrist, "Why did the red rope disappear?"
Bai Lu said softly, "Most likely it was lost."
Shen Miao sighed, "Indeed it would not last long."
The sun was blazing and the departing troops were at the city gates.
The young man in the lead was riding an imposing horse and had a lazy smile on his face but his eyes were so cold that one did not dare to look at him.
"Master, everything is ready." Tie Yi said.
Xie Jing Xing took a look behind him. Once out of this city gates, the future path would be completely different. It also meant that he had made a clean break with the past and would no longer be involved.
Eventually he would have to leave.
"There is nothing worth to be nostalgic about here." The white clad male at the side waved his fan and said, "It has nothing to do with you."
"Perhaps everyone is hoping that Third Older Brother would not return." The pine green robed gentleman smiled and looked to the front, "No matter what, one will finally return home."
"Not necessarily."
Both of them looked towards that purple clad male.
Xie Jing Xing lowered his head and his gaze landed on his wrist. There was a red rope tied there and the end of the red rope was neatly and carefully knotted, as if it would not loosen no matter what.
"Isn't this something that females wear?" Ji Yu Shu asked, "Why are you wearing this for?"
"After drinking someone's farewell wine, one owe someone a wish." Xie Jing Xing said, "One will return it after returning."
He retracted his gaze and raised his whip, "Rise!"
