As the rising sun shone on all of Bingyue's plains, King Changle's busy mansion had preceded others in its activities.
Although last night was waiting for the return of the detained master, this morning they worked as usual. It's just that their hearts remain agitated.
Then, a horse carriage stopped in front of the gate. The guards breathed a sigh of relief as the person they were waiting for got out of the carriage in his luxurious palace robes. His feet tracked the grounds of the mansion with a fixed rhythm, calm and so unpretentious.
The figure was dumbstruck entering the deserted western courtyard grounds. A small amount of sunlight shines on damaged plants that have not been replaced.
The dew still lingers spoiled at the end of the foliage. The road still looks wet. Quiet, but so peaceful.
He opened the door of Qingyi's room slowly to prevent any sound from arising. Qingyi's figure seemed to still be sound asleep. His face was very tired.
Baili Qingchen approached, her beautiful eyes engrossed in looking at the girl calmly. Guilt rose in his heart because during these few days, the girl had always been bothered by him. Maybe he could have slept last night.
As he was about to touch that sleeping face, Qingyi's eyelids moved and slowly opened. He saw the figure of Baili Qingchen standing in front of his bed, calm and expressionless.
Qingyi moaned for a moment, stretched her body and got up slowly. After rubbing both eyes, his vision became clear.
“You're back.”
“Yes. I've come back.”
“Aih, great. Hoam..”
Qingyi yawned once. Baili Qingchen was still standing there, with a variety of strange feelings and unspoken words. Thank you, he wanted to say that but his tongue felt like it.
Strange, even though at that time he could say it easily even though his voice was slow. Indeed, the most difficult thing to do in this world is to say thank you and sorry.
“Clean yourself first. We talk after this,” said Baili Qingchen.
Qingyi nodded, then called out to Yinghao. A young maid came in with a basin of water to wash her face. Baili Qingchen squinted, feeling unfamiliar with the face of this one servant.
“He's your new waitress?” ask Baili Qingchen.
“Oh, yes. His name is Xiao Ying,” Qingyi replied.
Yinghao scowled. While waiting for his wife to finish cleaning up, Baili Qingchen took a short walk in the western courtyard garden. The wind gently slapped his face.
This time, he should be able to pronounce it, should not not. Qingyi has been helping him a lot lately. If you don't say thank you, it's a little bad.
But until the girl came, it didn't come out of her mouth. His tongue suddenly felt faint and he could only stare at Qingyi with a gaze that was hard to find meaning.
Qingyi was astonished that five minutes had passed, Baili Qingchen did not speak either. Oh my God, did he have to start it?
“What do you want to talk about?” qingyi asked who could not stand it. He was long-tempered.
“It...Te-thank you.”
Qingyi blew her laughter that morning. His mood was so good that Baili Qingchen gave him a shock like this. Hearing her say thank you clearly made Qingyi happy for no reason.
The speech was first spoken clearly, unlike at that time. Baili Qingchen was certainly misbehaving. His face was almost red.
“I just did what you told me to do. In reality, we managed to scare Emperor Baili.”
“However, thank you.”
“I know a lot you want to talk to me about. But now is not the time to talk about it. We have to find a solution to prevent that marriage.”
“Qingyan is Chen's mixed descendant with Bingyue. Her marriage could not be decided unilaterally by Bingyue alone.”
“Well, he grew up in Chen. Come here just to visit and will not stay. Emperor Chen would consider Bingyue to be of no integrity if it kept imposing its will.”
As it turned out, Baili Qingchen and Qingyi's thoughts were the same. Baili Qingyan must not marry Liu Erniang. Aside from her special status in the two countries, the marriage would only be a means of strengthening power. The prime minister is getting bigger and less self-aware. Emperor Baili was also so greedy.
The only solution to prevent the marriage from happening was to have Baili Qingyan return to the Chen Empire. But, what pretext should be used to convince everyone?
“I have an idea!” yang Qingyi suddenly.
“Oh? Try telling me!”
“If can ask Emperor Chen for help to call back Baili Qingyan, the problem can be finished.”
“But, mail delivery to Chen takes at the earliest one week by post.”
“Don't worry about that. Leave it to me.”
Why was Qingyi thinking just now? Right, he's got dimensional space with a lot of modern tools. Sending a letter to a distant place should not be a big deal.
In the dimensional space, there was a carrier pigeon-like device that could deliver something in a short period of time. As long as the arrangement is correct, the letter must have arrived at the right place.
For that reason, the afternoon after Baili Qingchen and Qingyi rested restored energy, the two immediately made an appointment with Baili Qingyan. They met at Jinfeng Restaurant.
The second floor was a great place to talk, of course after they had reserved a special room. The three of them had already gathered, but had yet to speak as their gazes were both fixed on the one bald-headed person who had come uninvited.
“What are you coming for?” qingyi asked Liu Qingti.
“Contract of course. I want to know how you guys solve my friend's problem,” replied the bald light.
“Hah, bald bottom!” chirping Qingyi. Liu Qingti.
“Let him come,” sloth Baili Qingchen.
After that, they started to discuss. Baili Qingchen had her third sister write a letter of request for help addressed to her grandfather, Emperor Chen. He was also asked to write down words describing his current condition.
The letter was written in a white paper specifically used by the princes, then folded and given a special seal of Third Prince Bingyue.
Furthermore, the letter was handed over to Qingyi to be sent. Regarding the delivery, the girl deliberately kept it a secret because she knew these people would question her continuously. Qingyi stuffed it into her shirt pocket, then ordered some delicious food menu.
Especially for Baili Qingchen, she ordered a special menu that was only reserved for her. No doubt, Baili Qingyan and Liu Qingti immediately looked at each other and laughed silently.
They thought that Princess Consort Changle's attention to King Changle was so good that the food menu was specially chosen.
“Sister, this wife of yours is very considerate. Your meal menu is almost the same as the food of the monks in the mountain temples,” joked Baili Qingyan.
As a result of his joke, he got a one-kick reward in the leg from Baili Qingchen.
“Be quiet!”
“Your stomach acid can recur if you consume too much food like this. If you're sick, the one who bothers is me,” Qingyi's cerocos. Liu Qingti and Baili Qingyan were ooh ria but full of jokes.
Baili Qingchen got annoyed, then without saying she snatched the food in Qingyi's chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth. With a calm face, Baili Qingchen chewed and swallowed it.
The food is delicious, savory and not too salty. It made Baili Qingyan and Liu Qingti return in a whimper. It seems like the rumor that says that King Changle and Princess Empress Changle are not me is just a mere nonsense.
“You! A thief! Return my food!”
“How do I return it? Take it out of my mouth or you'll dissect my stomach?”
Hearing that, his expression darkened. He pursed his lips and ate another meal with a hint of emotion. His cheeks were swollen because his mouth was filled with food.
Baili Qingyan and Liu Qingti watched their scenes from earlier, then both felt that the interaction just now was no different from a unique romance.
“Do you feel like a classic opera performance?” baili Qingyan asked.
“No. This is a beautiful romance wrapped in conflict,” Liu Qingti replied.
