Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 84 Old father’s heart-to-heart talk

There was a picture scroll in front of her, and she didn't write a single stroke.

Qiu Yan put the fruit on the empty space on the table, covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly, her big eyes curved like crescent moons, "Miss, what are you thinking about?"

Cheng Qing said depressedly: "I didn't think about anything, I was just a little irritable."

"I think the lady is thinking about Mr. Bai, right?" Qiu Yan rolled his eyes, approached her and asked in an eccentric way.

Cheng Qingxiu frowned, leaned back and said, "Don't mention him to me."

Get angry when you think about it.

"Okay, okay, don't mention him. Then why is the young lady upset?" Qiu Yan asked.

"I just don't know why, so I'm even more irritable." Cheng Qing said this, but actually he felt more and more uneasy in his heart.

The last time she had such a premonition was when the enemy attacked the military camp, and that time she almost burned all the food in the granary.

She had to be careful this time. Even if an accident happened, she couldn't let Xiao Ning'er get into trouble.

"Miss, don't think too much, it's fine." Qiuyan comforted.

"Yes." Cheng Qing responded calmly, and then continued to think about the previous plan.

Qiu Yan looked at her thoughtful look and knew that she didn't take her words to heart at all.

Just as she was thinking about whether to get some snacks for Cheng Qing, she heard her yelling - "I see!"

"Miss, what do you know?" Qiu Yan asked.

Cheng Qing frowned and said, "I was involved in all our previous plans, but if you think about it, what should you do if I am not present?"

"This..." Qiu Yan's beautiful eyebrows suddenly frowned, and she said, "But Miss, how could you not be here?"

"What if the emperor invites me to go hunting?" Cheng Qing asked.

"Isn't that a royal matter? I heard that in the past, the emperor only brought Prince Anhe, a few princes, and the eighth princess with him. Even the most favored concubines, the emperor did not bring with him." Qiu Yan said doubtfully.

Cheng Qing thought carefully and said, "However, there were no special cases like mine in the past years."

Her eyes moved to the white jade guqin placed in front of the screen.

This guqin was a reward from the emperor two days ago, and it was said to calm her down.

Thinking about the sweet words the emperor had said to her before, it was enough to prove that he was still very interested in her.

As long as a man is interested in a woman, he will be single-minded when he doesn't get her.

Although she is still resisting the emperor now, she seems to be above his bottom line, which is why he indulges her in this way.

"Miss, don't scare me. Is the Emperor serious about you?" Qiu Yan didn't dare to think about it anymore. In her opinion, Cheng Qing and Bai Xiuyuan were a match.

"You can't be unprepared, Qiu Yan, put away the scroll and change the letter paper." Cheng Qing frowned and ordered.

"Yes." Qiu Yan quickly changed it for her.

Cheng Qing thought for a while and then started writing.

Halfway through writing, a voice came from the yard. Cheng Qing turned around and saw the housekeeper running in and shouting: "Miss, Eunuch Jiang wants to see you."

Cheng Qing frowned and said, "What is supposed to come has come."

"Miss!" Qiu Yan was worried for her.

"Please Eunuch Jiang go to the lobby, I'll be there soon." Cheng Qing said in a steady and authentic voice, lowering his head and continuing to write.

"Yes, miss." The housekeeper turned and left.

Cheng Qing's writing speed increased, and he finished it in a short while. He picked it up, blew on it, and shouted: "Qiulan."

Qiulan, who was guarding outside, quickly ran in.

Cheng Qing put the letter into the envelope, handed it to her, and said, "Go to the fourth prince's house quickly and hand this letter to Zhao Wuyuan in person. Remember, you must hand it to him in person."

Seeing how seriously she explained, Qiulan had no choice but to become serious. She put the letter in her arms and said, "Miss, don't worry, I'm leaving."

"Be careful on the road."

As soon as Qiulan left, Cheng Qing followed him to the lobby.

As she expected, the emperor did invite her to hunt.

Not only that, Eunuch Jiang also brought a set of women's and men's riding clothes and asked her to wear them to the hunting ground.

After sending Eunuch Jiang away, Cheng Qing was about to go back when he was invited over by the servants around Grand Master Cheng.

The father and daughter were sitting in front of the fish pond. Master Cheng was feeding the fish with food. They were very happy to see the big carps swimming around.

But there was no smile at all on Master Cheng's face.

"father."

"Qing'er, look at this fish. It's in this small fish pond. Is it happy?"

Cheng Qing felt really sad when he saw him like this, and waved to the servant waiting next to him to go down first.

"Don't be like this, you won't stay in this place for long."

Master Cheng's calloused hands paused, sighed, and said, "Dad understands your thoughts, but he is worried about you. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you in my heart."

"I'm sorry dad, it's my daughter's unfilial piety." Cheng Qing felt a lot of guilt in her heart after hearing this. She thought about many things during these days, including her father, but she forgot to visit him.

"Father knows that you can't help yourself here in Anping." Master Cheng really felt sorry for her and didn't want her to always be in danger. She was also a girl.

Cheng Qing said guiltily: "Dad, otherwise, how about you renew your string?"

Master Cheng's distressed expression suddenly paused. He raised his hand and wanted to hit him, but he couldn't bear to raise it in the air. "You kid, what are you talking about? What does dad want to continue? How old am I, and I still need to renew my string? Then that Is that true?"

When it came to the latter part, I was almost at a loss for words.

Cheng Qing laughed and said, "Aren't I afraid that Dad will be bored?"

Master Cheng tapped her forehead with his index finger and said in a confused voice: "Crazy girl, you are so old and still as wild as a boy, be careful not to get married."

"What if I can't get married? After this busy period, I will stay with you every day, okay?" Cheng Qing held his arm and acted coquettishly.

"This is not possible, father still hopes that you can marry." Grand Master Cheng said: "Qing'er, do you have someone you like?"

"No." Cheng Qing said.

Seeing that she spoke without any hesitation and that she didn't miss anyone, Grand Master Cheng couldn't help asking: "Really not? But why did Dad hear that you seem to care about someone very much?"

"Dad, who are you listening to? That's not the case." As soon as Cheng Qing finished speaking, he suddenly thought of Bai Xiuyuan, and his teeth suddenly felt very itchy.

"But how did Dad hear that he hugged you?" Cheng Taishi asked gossipingly.

Cheng Qing said nonchalantly: "If I have to like someone after I have hugged someone, then aren't there too many people I would like?"

"You know that's not what dad said!" Grand Master Cheng said displeasedly: "Qing'er, dad wants to ask you, what are your plans? Today you have to give dad an explanation."
