Chapter 115 Drunken Taiping (5)
"If the third master really appreciates me, I don't want anything else. As long as our girl has a smiling face, I won't be able to be with her every day in the future. I only hope that she has such a smiling face every day when she wakes up."

Qi She was slightly surprised, "What are you doing if you aren't with your girl?"

"This poor girl is going out of the court." Qing Tian's long hair was still untied, and he only tied a three-color jade bead ring loosely behind his shoulders.She clasped her hands together, and smiled softly, "Last month, Xiao Zhao formally proposed to his mother, and she will be picked up by a sedan chair in a while, how can I keep her?"

Qi She smiled even more, "Really? This is a happy event. Good girl, the third master thinks about it, and I will send you a big congratulatory gift later. As for what you asked for just now, I promise you, the bride, that you will Treat your girl 'every day like a bride'."

Mu Yun smiled happily, bent down and put the cat on the ground, and also grabbed her skirt and fell to the ground, "Mu Yun thanked the third master on behalf of the girl."

"Get up." Qi She raised one hand, and held Qingtian's hand on the couch with the other.

At a certain corner, Cui Yikong stood there with his hands clasped, and smiled coldly: "My lord, it's already over, should I have breakfast or lunch?"

"I'm really hungry." Qi She's smiling eyes swept across Cuiyi's face, still only staring at Qingtian, with more concern, "What do you want to eat?"

Qingtian Xianli smiled, "I'm fine, just don't just have [-] or [-] dishes like yesterday. As far as I know, the abalone stewed pearl dish for dinner will take seven or eight days. It takes a few steps to make it, and there is also a stewed shark's fin soup. The soup is so delicious that I don't know how much fat chicken legs are used. I'm afraid that the bowl of braised turtle skirt will cost ten or twenty catties of turtles, not to mention Rare ingredients such as civet cats and orangutan lips. If every meal is so exquisite and extravagant, I really can’t eat it. In fact, three or four home-cooked dishes are very good, such as fried mustard greens with oil and salt, stewed soft tofu, etc. I’m afraid And eat more steadily."

Jumping on the footsteps of Yu Cong, Qi She came to Qi She's hand, Qi She hugged it, and laughed loudly, "It's not enough to have a meal in the palace, and it's enough to save money. Besides, you are thrifty, and the workers like Youyan and Cuiyi have to eat your leftovers, fried mustard greens with oil and salt? - You must be cursed to death behind your back."

"My lord knows how to make fun of you." Youyan, who was standing next to Cuiyi under the couch, smiled, "Slaves and servants don't dare."

"You don't dare, it's very difficult to say what about the one next to you," Qi She smiled and stretched out her arms a little, "Turning her face away, she even dares to scold me."

Cuiyi brushed the hair curtain with her hand, and two peach blossoms appeared on her cheeks that had been tense for a long time, "You're making up people again, when did I ever scold you?"

Seeing his smile and frown, his charming eyes, and his tone of intimacy and unrestraint, Qing Tian's heart was spinning several times, secretly looking forward to Qi She.

He just smiled frankly, lowered his head and scratched Yu's belly, "Go and tell the kitchen that your mother wants to eat some light food, as for me, I'll prepare it for breakfast."

"This is your 'breakfast'?!"

At the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, in the dining room, Qingtian stared blankly at the big pot of stewed mutton on the table, and was taken aback.

"Ah." Qi Shezao picked up the pick knife and stuffed one into his mouth, "Hiss, haven't we had breakfast together?"

Qingtian shook his head, "Do you usually eat this for breakfast?"

"Yes."

"How many catties of meat are there for each meal?"

"Why do you look like this, and you don't need to pay to support me!"

"How can you eat such a heavy food when you come together?"

"Hey! I'm tired all day, and I often can't eat. How can I stand up if I don't eat more in the morning? Try it, it's delicious."

Qingtian stepped back three feet away, covering his face with his hands and shaking wildly.Qi She smiled and took back a handful of meat in his hand, and stuffed it into his mouth, "Do you think it smells like mutton?"

Qing Tian nodded with a wry smile, "I'd better eat my fried mustard greens." Lifting the gold-encrusted chopsticks on Ruishou's chopstick rest, he ate a roll of vegetables, chewing slowly.After taking two bites, he put down his chopsticks, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth with Qi She, "Eat slowly, your mouth is full of oil." But there was love and compassion brighter and thicker than oil in his eyes, overflowing all around.

Qi She let out a heck, and purred with twitching cheeks: "It's too late for me to come back today, you eat by yourself, don't wait for me. Then Mu Yun——"

"Hey," Mu Yun, who was serving meals at the table, took a bowl of blood powder soup from the casserole, put one end in front of Qingtian, and responded with a smile, "what's the matter, third master?"

"You go to Huai Yatang today, and invite your mother and your girl's sisters to the garden tomorrow, and everyone will listen to operas and have fun together."

"What are you doing?" Qingtian paused, very puzzled.

Qi She grabbed the ox horn cup and swallowed two sips of wine, "I have a court tomorrow, and I have to leave before dawn, and ask them to come and accompany you. Don't the folks pay attention to 'returning to the door in three courts'? People, please come to my uncle and have a look, don't feel that you have treated their aunts badly."

Qingtian stared at him fiercely, and he also looked at her, looked at each other and smiled, wishing to be a mandarin duck and not envious of immortals[3].

There was a sound of boots before the steps, and they approached. "Slave Zhou Dun kowtowed to the prince and empress, wishing the prince and empress happiness and good luck."

Qingtian turned his eyes, hurriedly got up and returned the salute, "Eunuch Zhou."

"Sit down quickly," Qi She pressed her hand down, "He won't be able to get up while you're standing."

There was a sudden movement around the table, and I saw a head protruding from under the table of Yu Cong, with blue and green mandarin duck eyes wide open, beard curled up and humming.Qingtian sat down, picked up two chopsticks of fresh razor meat and threw it under the table, and looked at Zhou Dun with a smile, "Where is the father-in-law? I just want to ask the prince, why haven't we seen each other for two days?"

Zhou Dun climbed up from the ground, his big round eyes on his smiling face were delighted, "My lord is sympathetic, and I let the slaves go home for a few days. I didn't make it in time to welcome the empress into the garden. Don't take the blame."

"Yes, didn't I ask you to come back later? Why are you here today?" Qi She gave him a long look, still just eating.

Zhou Dun smiled at him, "I miss the prince in my heart, I really can't stay at home, I am very bored, so I came back early."

"Yo," Qi She said teasingly, "With such a conscience, how can you still think of your father when you are facing a beautiful daughter-in-law?"

Qingtian was surprised and said: "Why, Eunuch Zhou was also married?"

Zhou Dun became coy at once, and lowered his eyelids to touch his clothes there, "Well, I spent money to buy a country girl last year, she is honest, she just helps with housework, it's not a big deal. "

All the people in the hall saw that his expression was different than before, they all laughed secretly, Qi She also smiled, and then asked in a general way: "Have you eaten yet?"

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. This servant came here after lunch." Zhou Dunru took advantage of the amnesty to distract the conversation, "On the way, I heard that Master Zhu and Master Zhang sent people to Chongding Court four or five times in the morning. Ask the prince if he is here."

"Well, I know." Qi She waved his hand and threw the knife into the bowl where only bone fragments remained, "I'm leaving now."

Water came from the side immediately, Xiaoyan held the basin, Cuiyi took soap to wash Qi She's hands, and Zhou Dun rushed to deliver a small silver cup for rinsing.Qi She rinsed her hands several times, her head and hands had already been dried by Cuiyi, and she stood up with a flick of her hands, "Prepare the sedan chair."

After changing into official clothes, the sedan chair has been carried to the eaves of the sleeping hall near the incense hall, the maids and eunuchs are already standing around, and Qing Tian also stands on one side.Instead, Qi She walked up to her in a few steps, bowed her head and smiled, "Then I'm leaving, you will be fine."

Qingtian raised his face, flashed his eyes with a smile, then lowered his head shyly.

He smiled, almost as if sneaking, pulled her fingertips in public, then turned and went out.

Everyone immediately knelt down together, "Respectfully send off the prince."

Qingtian looked at the big yellow satin sedan blinking and turning in the embrace, and smiled brightly.What she sent away was not the supreme prince, but her tender and intimate lover.

The corner of the skirt was pulled by something, she smiled and leaned down and hugged Zai Yu into her arms, rubbing her face against its snow-white fur.

4.
At night, Qi She really came back very late, slept for only two hours, Qingtian only felt that it was still early in the morning, and he quietly got up again, only saying that it was cold outside, and forced her back into the bed, Clean up and wash in the outside room by yourself.Qingtian was also really sleepy, and fell asleep again in a daze, and it was already afternoon when he returned from a good dream.

Sun Xiuda came to report, saying that the invited famous actors had already dressed up in the Yuanxin Pavilion of the theater, and they could start the gong at any time. Mu Yun also happily led the second sister Duan and her party into the hall.

Qingtian dressed up to welcome her, dressed in extremely beautiful bright red and gold, beaded arm gauze, high heart-returning bun, topped with a golden phoenix hairpin with six tails and six beards, with twelve golden beads around her forehead to wipe her forehead, Like twelve suns pierced by a golden thread, hanging above her bright and dazzling eyes.
