Uncle, stay safe

Chapter 137

Xi Yanyi snorted softly, "You said how busy I am this day. After 'serving' you, the emperor, you have to 'serve' the princess when you go back. How much will you give me? I have to be so desperately busy?" Xi Yanyi was a little Filled with righteous indignation, he glared at Long Qingcang indignantly.

Long Qingcang chuckled, "I'll give you my life, so what's the money?" He was generous.

Xi Yanyi was speechless for a moment, "Your life should be left to Daqi's young and old! I dare not take it." After finishing speaking, he turned and walked down the steps, leaving the imperial study room.

Stars could be seen in the sky, the temperature dropped, and white mist could be seen between breaths. Xi Yanyi walked out of the palace and walked back to Prince Ling's Mansion slowly on the bluestone road that was made smoother by the cold temperature.

The lights in the mansion were brightly lit, Xi Yanyi stepped into the mansion door, feeling depressed and apprehensive, walked into the hall, the dining room on the side had set up dinner, Lily Baishuang was arranging the tables and chairs, seeing Xi Yanyi coming back, the two went forward , one took off her slightly thicker coat, and the other brought hot water for her to wash her hands, taking care of everything.

"Where is the princess?" Seeing that Xiao Taozi was not wandering around here, Xi Yanyi asked.

"My maidservant is going to inform the princess to come over for dinner." Lily said, and then walked out.

Baishuang and Xi Yanyi walked to the table and stood behind Xi Yanyi who was sitting down. Baishuang blinked and asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you not like the princess?"

"Huh? Why do you ask that?" Xi Yanyi looked at her sideways and smiled lightly.

Bai Shuang smiled, "You weren't there at the wedding night, but you ran out after a while after coming back today. Don't you say that newlyweds should be like glue? Why do you always want to run out?"

Xi Yanyi chuckled, "There are too many things to do, tomorrow I have to leave the imperial capital and go to Jiangnan to do something."

"Ah? Are you still leaving? Leaving the bride behind to guard the vacant room alone? Seems a little too much?" Although Baishuang was facing Xi Yanyi, from a woman's point of view, Li Mengqing would definitely feel wronged.

Xi Yanyi blinked, "National affairs are the most important thing. Before he died, the emperor told me that he wanted me to assist the emperor to build Daqi. Do you think I can disappoint him?"

After moving Long Tianqi out, Bai Shuang was speechless for an instant, and nodded, "Although you say that, you still have to coax the princess well. Anyway, her father is a high-ranking captain, so it's not appropriate to Turn your face." Don't look at Baishuang's bluffing, but she understands these things!
Xi Yanyi nodded with a smile, lowered her voice, deliberately mysterious, "Okay, listen to you!"

Baishuang let out a chuckle, and when she heard footsteps coming in from outside, she quickly covered her mouth to prevent the hostess from seeing a maidservant teasing the prince.

Xi Yanyi was also sitting watching Li Mengqing walk in, followed by Lily Xiaotaozi.

After entering, Xiao Taozi untied Li Mengqing's slightly thick cloak, Lily came over and stood behind Xi Yanyi, Xi Yanyi looked at Li Mengqing, "Princess, sit down, I've been waiting for a long time."

Li Mengqing took a seat beside Xi Yanyi, smiled and shook her head, "The concubine knows that the prince will come back, so she is happy to wait."

Xi Yanyi nodded, picked up the jade chopsticks, "Let's eat!"

Baihe and Xiaotaozi stood behind Xi Yanyi and Li Mengqing respectively serving vegetables for them. Xi Yanyi ate, and suddenly said: "Baishuang, bring the pot of pear blossom wine that the second master Zhuge sent, today the king wants it Have a few drinks with the princess!"

Baishuang was taken aback, and then quickly turned around to get it. Both she and Baihe knew whether Xi Yanyi could drink, why would he want to drink today?Baishuang thought unkindly, maybe their prince wanted to drink to strengthen his courage.

"My lord, you were so drunk that you passed out yesterday, do you still want to drink today?" Li Mengqing looked at Xi Yanyi and asked softly.

Xi Yanyi put some stir-fried tender shrimps on Li Mengqing's dinner plate, looked at her and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I drank it with others. Today, I want to drink it with my princess!"

Li Mengqing lowered her eyes and smiled, her cheeks were a little flushed, and she stopped talking.

Baishuang brought the wine, and just as she was about to pour it, Xi Yanyi took the jug from her hand and poured a glass for Li Mengqing and himself each.

Xi Yanyi picked up the wine glass, "Being married to the princess in this life is a blessing I have cultivated in three lifetimes. Because of my many official duties, I may spend less time with the princess in the future, but we will support each other for the rest of our lives. I also ask the princess to forgive me a lot."

Li Mengqing didn't seem to understand Xi Yanyi's hint, she shook her head, "My lord is serious, as long as I can be with my lord, no matter whether it's hard work or loneliness, my concubine can bear it." Although she looks weak, it doesn't mean her heart is weak. Perhaps, stronger than anyone else.

Xi Yanyi smiled, raised his glass and drank it down, Li Mengqing also drank the wine in the glass, put down the glass, Xi Yanyi poured her another glass.

After a dinner, Xi Yanyi drank seven or eight glasses of wine by herself, not only did she not feel drunk at all, her face was not red and she was not out of breath, but she drank too much of Li Mengqing, her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were blurred. Xiao Taozi supported her by the side, I was afraid that she would fall off the chair again.

Seeing that she was almost done drinking, Xi Yanyi got up, bent down, and hugged Li Mengqing very considerately. Both Xiao Taozi and Baihe Baishuang looked at Xi Yanyi in surprise, they did not expect King Ling to be so 'brave' .

Xi Yanyi's smile was also a little awkward, "Princess is drinking too much, I'll take her back, Xiao Taozi can go back to her room and sleep, she doesn't need to come over to serve her!" After finishing speaking, she hugged Li Mengqing and strode away.

The three maids in the hall looked at each other, the meaning in their eyes was self-evident. They all knew why their prince was carrying the princess, and they couldn't help but hold back their joy. The wedding ceremony, although it has to happen sooner or later, it doesn't happen sooner or later. As for feeding the princess too much, I really don't know who is nervous.

Holding Li Mengqing with blurred eyes, she walked back to the master bedroom. The room was unusually warm, and she put Li Mengqing on the bed. Xi Yanyi stood up straight, but Li Mengqing suddenly took her hand.

Xi Yanyi looked at her, "I'll close the door."

Although Li Mengqing drank in a daze, she was still able to think about some things, "You won't leave just now?"

Xi Yanyi shook his head slowly, "No!"

Only then did Li Mengqing let go of Xi Yanyi's hand and let her close the door.

The cold wind came in from the open door, closed the door, Xi Yanyi let out a long breath, although she drank several cups today, but what she drank was not wine, the pot of pear blossom wine was specially given to her by Zhuge Zhao Hospitality.
