The tyrant family read my heart and doted on me.

"Are you so willful?" Nan Yuanxiang suddenly no longer felt sleepy. Pei Qingning was so cute, so innocent, and so interesting!

Praise her for being willful just for sleeping in?

I guess no one feels this way anymore, not even Feng Yunyi.

"Yeah." Pei Qingning nodded.

Nan Yuanxiang looked at Pei Qingning and suddenly laughed. After she finished laughing, she said, "Go on with what you were talking about just now. I'm not sleepy anymore, so I'll listen too."

"Just now..." Pei Qingning knocked his head, "Look at my brain, I almost got led astray again." He almost forgot what happened just now.

"Go on!" Jiujiu also said.

Pei Qingning scratched her long hair and said, "It's Qingshu. He will leave Xichu after the New Year. He said he will travel alone or return to the land of witchcraft."

"He, he, he's not with us anymore."

"me……"

Pei Qingning was a little embarrassed to say the following words. After all, these were girlish feelings, and she was a little shy to express them out loud.

She lowered her head, pinching a corner of her white undershirt with both hands, twisting and turning, hesitantly, her ears red as if they were ripe.

"What's wrong with you?" Nan Yuanxiang asked with raised eyebrows.

Jiujiu knew, "Qing Ning, you are worried that you will never see Qing Shu again after you separate, right?"

"Yeah." Pei Qingning nodded heavily and looked at Jiujiu excitedly, "Jiujiu, you really understand me."

Nan Yuanxiang was very gossipy. She pulled Pei Qingning's arm and asked earnestly, "You and this Qingshu... Could it be that you like Qingshu?"

"Yeah." Pei Qingning nodded again, but she was still very shy. Her head was lowered almost to her legs, and her black hair was scattered, covering her little face.

Nan Yuanxiang tilted her head, looked at Pei Qingning, and said, "Does Qingshu like you?"

"do not know."

"This one……"

Nan Yuanxiang didn’t know what to say next, so she looked at Jiujiu.

Jiujiu said: "Qing Ning, have you tried to keep Qing Shu? What did he say?"

"Of course I tried to keep him, but Qingshu said that a good man's ambition is to go west and travel all over the world." Pei Qingning's tears suddenly began to fall as she spoke, "He has a lot of things in his heart, but I don't seem to be the only one."

"As for me, my father found a marriage partner for me and urged me to go back to Zhongzhou and marry that person."

The main reason is that Pei Qingning is old, and Mr. Pei is worried that if he delays any further, it will not be good. What if Pei Qingning can't get married?

"My father also said that if I didn't go back, he would send people to arrest me."

Pei Qingning said, suddenly raised his head, tightly grasped Jiujiu's hand, and said: "Jiujiu, what should I do?"

"I really like Qingshu." The feelings in her heart gave Pei Qingning courage. Pei Qingning suddenly became frank and generous. She said for the first time: "I have never liked someone so much in my life."

"there has never been."

Pei Qingning is used to being carefree and rarely talks about something in such a serious and earnest way.

This is the first time.

Jiujiu was very surprised.

"Jiujiu, I really have no other choice. I don't know what to do to keep Qingshu."

"I really don't want to marry someone I've never met."

"Who knows if this guy is mentally retarded and has missing limbs?"

Jiujiu: "..."

Nan Yuanxiang: "..."

"If your father is your real father, he would not give you a mentally retarded person with missing limbs." Nan Yuanxiang said.

Jiujiu: "Qing Ning, don't cry for now. I will invite Qing Shu to the palace for the New Year's Eve banquet. Then, I will help you test his feelings."

"No matter what, I will try my best to help you keep him."

"Me too." said Nan Yuanxiang.

"Really?" Pei Qingning asked, "Jiujiu, you didn't lie to me? Right?"

"No."

"Okay, then I'll wait for the New Year's Eve banquet."

Posthouse.

Qingshu Yi lived here all the time, and occasionally went out to check out the customs and habits of Western Chu and broaden his horizons.

But in recent days, he has not gone out. Why?

Because he received a letter, a letter from Mr. Pei of the Pei family in Zhongzhou.

Every word in the letter warned him to stay away from Pei Qingning, and said that Pei Qingning was going to go back and get married soon, and that her husband was a descendant of a famous family in Zhongzhou, and he could not compare to her.

Moreover, Pei Qingning herself liked him and had been clamoring to get married when she was a child.

Please don't ruin this marriage. Otherwise, the Pei family and Zhongzhou will not let him go.

Qingshu didn't mind these threats, nor was he afraid of them, but he cared about Pei Qingning getting married, and the person she married was the one she liked and had been clamoring to marry since she was a child.

So who is he?

What about the love she had shown for him before?

He is a human being, he can feel it, and he was secretly happy about it.

But Pei Qingning already had someone she liked.

He, he was fooled by Pei Qingning.

Qingshu was in a bad mood all day because of this, and he refused to see Pei Qingning even though she came several times.

He locked himself in his room all day, drinking and getting drunk.

He decided to leave Xichu after the New Year because of this incident.

He is leaving. He doesn't want to see the person who played a trick on him again. He wants to go somewhere far away to heal his wounds alone.

But, we have to wait until the New Year’s Eve banquet is over before leaving.

After all, the princess had personally written to invite him to the New Year's Eve banquet, and it would have been rude of him to refuse.

.

New Year's Eve banquet.

Qingshu took a bath, changed out of his alcohol-smelling clothes, shaved, tied his hair, and walked into the palace in a refreshed state and arrived at the venue of the night banquet, Delin Hall.

Half of the court officials have arrived, and Pei Qingning has also arrived.

When Qingshu arrived, he saw Pei Qingning at a glance, but he just looked at Pei Qingning coldly and was led by the eunuch to his seat. He sat down quietly and drank tea without communicating with anyone or looking at anyone.

He seemed to be isolated from everyone.

Pei Qingning hesitated for a few seconds, then came to sit next to Qingshu and greeted him, "Qingshu, you're here."

"How are you these days?"

Qingshu clenched his fists, holding back his emotions, and said politely, "Ms. Pei is concerned. Qingshu is fine."

"Miss Pei?" Pei Qingning felt very aggrieved. Qingshu never called her Miss Pei before, but always called her by her name.

Now that he was about to leave Xichu, he began to draw a line between himself and her and be polite.

He is really determined.

Pei Qingning took a sip of wine sadly. She didn't drink before and didn't know what wine tasted like. Now she took a gulp and it tasted spicy. She stuck out her tongue and slurped, "So spicy, so spicy."

"It tastes terrible."

"I don't know why so many idiots like to drink this nasty stuff."

"Especially those who use this to get drunk, only those with water in their brains would drink this stuff." It's just asking for trouble! There's something wrong, a serious illness.

Qingshu: “…”
