The doctor's wife could only sigh and nod, and retreated.

In fact, Jean prepared fish, shrimps and some food that suited Shalan's taste, and also brought a cook. However, it would become stale after being stored for a long time, so he didn't bring much.

It's finished now.

Sang He stood in front of the door holding a scimitar, with a bit of worry in his brows.

The food here is really not to my liking.

It was also difficult for him to eat. As for the princess, she had eaten less and less in the past two days.

Sang He really wanted to go outside and think of something.

But they were already in Zhongzhou. He didn't even know the way out of the post house, let alone coming back after buying something to eat for the princess.

Thinking of this, Sang He couldn't help but feel a lot of resentment toward Xie Changqing.

It has been nearly 20 days since we set off from Danzhou.

Xie Changqing seemed to be behaving well, guarding the group on horseback, but he sneaked into the princess' carriage every two days at night.

Or take the princess from the car to his tent.

Then leave the princess's carriage before dawn and everyone wakes up, or send the sleeping princess back.

His ears were very sensitive, and he could tell that Xie Changqing was probably just sleeping with the princess and didn't do anything excessive, but this behavior itself was very excessive...

Okay, maybe not that much.

After all, Xie Changqing and the princess had gone through the Molan people's wedding ceremony, and they were husband and wife.

But he only cared about dominating the princess, but he didn't care about her body at all.

"Sanghe."

Shalan's voice suddenly sounded, "It's already dark... Is he busy with anything today?"

"..."

Sang He was silent for a moment.

He knew that the princess missed Xie Changqing.

Normally, Xie Changqing would come over after finishing his work, but today the time came and he still hadn't come.

"I'll go find him."

Shalan came out of the room, held up her skirt and walked down the steps.

Sang He followed behind silently.

The two of them went outside, asked the guards, and then walked around to the courtyard where Xie Changqing settled.

But the yard was dark, and it was clear that no one was there.

Shalan was about to ask about the whereabouts of the guard at the gate when Uncle Li came from a distance and said with a smile: "Changqing went to buy food for the princess. I'll probably be back soon."

Shalan was a little surprised, "Buying food?"

"Ah."

Uncle Li nodded: "I have been gone for a while. He said hello to me when he went out. He took Lei Yi with him. Princess, please wait a moment."

Shalan's beautiful eyebrows were raised slightly, and there was a faint smile in her eyes.

He actually bought food for himself?

It's so rare.

Shalan asked Uncle Li: "Do you know the general location? Let someone take me there. I'll see if I can buy more. The doctor's wife and Sang He can't eat it."

Uncle Li touched the short beard on his chin and said: "I told you when I left that I don't know the road, but the people in the post house do... That's good. I'll ask someone to lead the way, so let's go with the princess."

"Would it be too much trouble?"

"No, no! Everyone has different food tastes. It's normal to not be able to swallow the food. It's because we didn't think carefully." Uncle Li made a gesture of invitation, "Let's go, princess!"

"Well!"

Shallan was not overly polite or coy either.

In fact, Uncle Li has always been kind to Shalan, and he is also an elder that Xie Changqing respects, so Shalan respects him.

After leaving the post house, Uncle Li stayed by Shalan's side, introducing the situation on the street and the customs of Zhongzhou from time to time.

Seeing that Shalan was not very interested, Uncle Li smiled and stopped talking.

The restaurant was not far from the post house, and it only took half a cup of tea to walk there.

So just walk there when you go out. Shalan walked for a while, and when she saw the sign of the seafood restaurant, she also saw the woman getting off the carriage and slowly walking in.

The clouds are slender.

Even if the sky is so dark, even if it is just a glance.

But Shalan still recognized the woman at a glance.

At this moment, she froze in place, staring in the direction of the restaurant.

Have you made an appointment?

Or by chance...

"Princess?"

Uncle Li said in surprise: "What's wrong?"

He has not returned to Beijing for many years and does not recognize Yun Xianning.

Sang He didn't know him either.

But both of them noticed something strange about Shalan.

Sang He asked worriedly: "Princess, do you still want to go there?"

"..."

Shalan's eyes staring at the restaurant flickered for a moment, and the expectation and smile in her brown glass eyes gradually disappeared, returning to a calm and peaceful look.

She didn't say anything, but walked quickly to the restaurant.

It was a battlefield for her, and she seemed to be a warrior at this time. It was not her style to retreat without a fight.

Sang He and Uncle Li looked at each other inexplicably and quickly followed.

……

There was absolute silence in the restaurant, so quiet that even breathing was abrupt.

Xie Changqing sat calmly, staring at the guy: "So are you selling it or not?"

"This, this..." The clerk was in a dilemma, "This gentleman, it's not that the young master doesn't sell it, it's because the turtle porridge was originally ordered by the young master. He came late, and the young master thought he wouldn't come, so ——”

"Look, since you two know each other, why don't we discuss it and see -"

Xie Changqing suddenly stood up.

When the guy saw him raising his hand, he quickly stopped talking.

Xie Changqing frowned for a moment. The tinkling sound from before was still ringing, very softly, but it could not escape Xie Changqing's ears.

That was the sound of jade bells hitting jade rings.

It was his birthday gift to Shalan.

Xie Changqing walked towards the door. As soon as he reached the door, Shalan also stopped at the steps in front of the restaurant.

After leaving Danzhou, Shalan no longer wore the exotic molan clothes, but wore the dresses sewn for her by the doctor's wife, and some clothes sent by Xie Zhaozhao from Beijing.

Shallan is no longer limited to peacock blue, and the colors are also varied.

Today, she is wearing a pink-purple long skirt with narrow sleeves. The style is similar to that of the Qin people, but the details of the embroidery are very different. Under the waist of the skirt, pink-purple crystal stones like broken stars are used to form a network. .

Her long brown hair was spread loosely, with two locks of hair lifted up from her temples and tied behind her head, and she wore a small and exquisite jeweled hair crown.

Yun Xianning's originally indifferent eyes shrank slightly, and there was even a hint of surprise in her eyes uncontrollably, and then there was a deep indifference.

It turns out that this alien princess is so beautiful.

Back in the capital of Qin, Shalan wore Qin clothes and casually wore her hair in a bun that was not suitable for a Qin woman. In Yun Xianning's eyes, she looked like a clown who suddenly broke into the bustling city.

Even if Xie Changqing cares about Shalan at all.

But at that time, Yun Xianning knew Shalan's origins and the process of appearing in front of Xie Changqing. She was so low-down that she could be high up.

And now.

Such a beautiful face, well-dressed...

Shalan stood there without saying anything, and didn't even look at Yun Xianning. She just looked at Xie Changqing faintly, as if she had won everything.

"Xie Changqing."

Shalan stood at the foot of the steps, looking up at him. She only called his name and then lost her voice. She didn't even look at Yun Xianning and Xiao Yi. (End of chapter)
