After the separation, the little widow Xianggong returned from the capital

The days are passing day by day, and it will soon be the New Year.

Pei Sheng came back later and later. It started to snow last night, and it never stopped. At this time, the time of Xu has passed, but the outside is covered with snow, white and clear.

Qi Qi leaned against the window, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery of the snowy night, a vast expanse of whiteness and a cool look.

"Ma'am, you should put on a cloak, the wind is strong through the window, so you might catch a little cold." Qing Dai took a pink and white cloak and gently put it on Qi Qi from behind.

Qi Qi took advantage of the situation and tightened the cloak tightly, wrapped herself in it, still looked out of the window and said, "It's getting late, go back to sleep, don't waste your time here."

"No hurry, the prince hasn't returned yet, I will accompany Madam for a while." Qing Dai shook her head, turned around and went to add some charcoal to the charcoal basin in the house.

Seeing this, Qi Qi didn't say anything else, sighed lightly, continued to look outside, frowned slightly and said, "Today is 29."

"Yes, it's a young year." Qing Dai replied.

"I don't know what's going on with the third brother..." Qi Qi murmured again as if there was nothing.

Counting the days, Qi Moxuan has been away for 20 days. According to what Pei Sheng said, if nothing unexpected happens, it will take around [-] days to arrive from Kyoto to Xidufu.

But this time, the trip was obviously much more dangerous. After Qi Moxuan left, she received three letters one after another, all of which reported that she was safe, but the most recent one was from seven days ago, and she was a little uneasy.

Suddenly, Qi Qi's expression moved slightly, and he quickly walked towards the door.

"Ma'am, what do you want, servant come..." Qing Dai didn't understand what she was going to do, so she hurriedly chased after her.

"My lord is back, go and prepare some hot water, oh, and there's also supper." Qi Qi explained as he walked.

Qingdai was puzzled, there was no movement at the gate of the courtyard, why...?
Although she didn't know why, she obediently complied, and then decided to prepare things.

As servants, the most basic point is to be obedient.

Qi Qi came to the corridor and waited quietly. Not long after, footsteps came from the gate of the courtyard, followed by Pei Sheng striding in.

As soon as Pei Sheng entered the courtyard, he saw her under the eaves. It seemed that she could see her for thousands of years, and there was no need to look for her deliberately.As long as she appeared, his eyes could not help but be attracted.

Qi Qi saw that his footsteps were getting faster and faster, and the thick layer of snow could not hinder his speed in the slightest.

"Slow down." Qi Qi looked worried.

Pei Sheng quickly came to her, lifted his cloak, and wrapped her in it, "Why did you come out? Is it cold? Come in..."

While talking, he half hugged her and went into the house.

"I'm fine, I'm not cold at all." Under the cloak, Qi Qi playfully scratched his palm with the fingers holding his hand, reassuring him that her hand was indeed warm.

When the two entered the room, Qing Dai had already prepared everything.

Qi Qi helped Pei Sheng untie the cloak, while winking at her to let her go, there was already a perfect understanding between master and servant, Qing Dai immediately bowed and retreated, closing the door by the way.

"Why is it so late today? Are you okay?" Qi Qi twisted the handkerchief and handed him to wipe his face.

Pei Sheng wiped it briefly, then dragged her to the table and sat down, and handed her a bowl of chicken soup, "Drink a bowl of chicken soup to warm up first."

Seeing that he avoided answering, Qi Qi didn't hesitate, so if there is no bad news, just take it as good news.

"I don't need it. This is specially prepared for you. You can drink it." Some warming and tonic herbs were put in and boiled slowly in a small cup.

"You drink, be obedient." Pei Sheng looked at her with an unquestionable expression, and looked at her firmly, not refusing.

Qi Qi's heart warmed slightly. Seeing this, he took another empty bowl and divided it in half, "We each have half, drink quickly."

The warmth in Pei Sheng's eyes became more and more intense, he didn't refuse any more, he took the bowl neatly, swallowed it in one mouthful, and a warm current flowed down the stomach and intestines to the limbs and bones, making him feel comfortable.

Seeing him like this, Qi Qi felt happy, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

Qi Qi was not hungry, so he drank the other half of the chicken soup in small sips, and accompanied him to finish the supper slowly.

At this time, midnight has passed, and the time has come to New Year's Eve.

"Time flies so fast." Pei Sheng held Qi Qi in his arms, and the two stood in front of the window watching the snow scene while digesting.

Pei Sheng sighed at this, which made Qi Qi feel a little surprised, but looking back on this year, one after another, his mood went up and down several times, and he couldn't help but echoed, "Yes, it was really fast. of."

"Little Qi."

Pei Sheng's voice was soft and hoarse, with a slight hook at the end, carrying an indescribable charm.

"Huh?" Qi Qi was a little sleepy, mainly because it was too comfortable to lean against his chest.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to celebrate the New Year with you."

"Huh? What?" Suddenly, Qi Qi woke up in a daze.

She looked up at him, her eyes flickering.

Pei Sheng leaned into his body slightly, rubbing her chin lightly on the top of her hair, feeling very helpless and full of reluctance, "Yesterday, there was an urgent message that a war broke out on the border of the Western Capital Prefecture. Not optimistic. I..."

Pei Sheng frowned slightly, his eyes were deep and dark, "...to ask Father to fight, he just agreed. Don't you..."

Before he finished speaking, a small hand covered his lips.

Qi Qi raised his head sideways, and the two of them looked at each other, "Don't tell me you're sorry, those who protect the world are as humble as a common man, and you are responsible. Besides, you are a member of the royal family, and the country needs you at this moment." , you should lead by example and take the lead. You... go."

Qi Qi's eyes were firm and serious, she knew she couldn't keep him, and she couldn't.

A warm current surged deep in Pei Sheng's heart, spreading to all his limbs, every cell was filled with joy, the person in front of him understood him.

Pei Sheng gently kissed the palm of her hand, and the warmth and numbness spread from the palm to her whole body.

Qi Qi withdrew her hand in shame, her ears blushing silently.

Pei Sheng looked at her affectionately, and said reverently, "With you in this life, what can I ask for?"

Qi Qi lowered his eyelids slightly, and murmured in embarrassment, "I wish to win the hearts of one, the white head will never be separated, and life and death will never change."

"Little Qi." Pei Sheng hugged her waist tightly, wishing to rub her into the marrow of his bones, "I will never let you down in this life, and we will be together forever."

"Um……"

For a moment, Pei Sheng got out of bed lightly, turned around and looked at the blushing little face buried between the quilts, his eyes were full of reluctance, he possessed himself to tuck the corners of the quilt for her, and looked at her deeply for a long time. Can't get enough.

It's just that no matter how much you don't give up, you can't be wanton after all.

Fortunately, their separation was only short, and they still have a lifetime of time together.

Pei Sheng attached himself, kissed her forehead lightly, and murmured to wait for me to come back, then turned around resolutely, closed the curtain, and strode away.

He didn't see that, inside the curtain, a teardrop oozed from the corner of Qi Qi's eye, rolled down his temple, and disappeared into his hair.

She didn't move, and after hearing the slight closing sound of the door, she buried her whole head in the bedding.
