Zhao Zhuoqu looked back, Chi Qing was sitting upright, drinking tea calmly.Beside her, looking curiously, was Xie Niannian who was eating pumpkin pie.

Zhao Zhuoqu squeezed his fists again and again, and finally he tried his best to show a generous smile.

"The peacock is also pretty, so I'll take it as you are complimenting me."

She recruited a servant, and pointed to thank Nian Nian for their position: "I don't think there is any need to arrange it, just add two more seats here. Yes, it is here."

"The fee? Of course she pays."

Xie Niannian saw Zhao Zhuoyu's operation, took Xia Qingzhi to sit opposite him, not only ordered several signature dishes, but also prepared to ask Chi Qing to pay for the meal.

As soon as the empress with delicate makeup sat down and hadn't drunk her tea yet, she began to ask Chi Qing for something.

"You can give me another skirt, the one with lake green embroidered phoenix trees."

"The embroiderer at Zizhufang is not available."

"No time? Are you fooling me?"

Chi Qing put down the teacup, raised her head and looked at Zhao Zhuozhi, the corner of her slightly raised mouth was showing off brightly in Zhao Zhuozhi's eyes.

"They are busy embroidering my and Niannian's wedding dress."

Zhao Zhuoqu glanced at the well-behaved Xie Niannian across the way from the corner of his eye. She was pushing a plate of pumpkin cakes to Xia Qingzhi, her eyes were shining like stars.

She knew that Chi Qing was serious, but she still refused to let people know: "I don't believe it. Nazsai has not been found yet, so I just thank you for trusting you softly, don't lie to others."

Chi Qing's face remained unchanged: "Have you persuaded Marquis Yong'an? Miss Xia is Lan Xinhui and has outstanding talents. How dare you trap someone in the palace."

These words were like stabbing Zhao Zhuozhi's heart. She and Xia Qingzhi were in love with each other. Not only did they agree to a posthumous position, but they also wanted Xia Qingzhi to participate in political affairs instead of wasting her youth in vain.

But Xia Qingzhi's father, Marquis Yong'an, loved his daughter dearly, so he refused to agree to this marriage, and was so worried that she lost several strands of hair.

You are very angry, but you will lose your demeanor when you do it in public, so you still have to keep smiling.

She tried her best to smile calmly: "Chi Qing, if you talk more, I'll tell Miss Xie your real face."

In exchange for Chi Qing's indifferent snort.

"I've seen it every year."

The expression on Zhao Zhuoqu's face was almost unstoppable, it's terrible, the tone was quite proud, it's different to have a family.

Those two got along within half a minute before they started bickering.

Xie Niannian and Xia Qingzhi exchanged a helpless look, and continued to introduce with great interest.

"The pumpkin pie here is the best I've ever had. Qing Zhi, please try it, the pumpkin taste is very strong."

Xia Qingzhi responded with a chuckle: "Niannian has a keen sense of taste, and the pumpkin cakes in Lanyuelou are truly unique."

She is really well-informed, even about culinary arts, and she can chat with Xie Niannian about the dishes of Lanyuelou.

As expected of a heroine, she speaks and acts like a spring breeze, just looking at her every frown and smile makes me feel good.

After Fang Chiqing and Zhao Zhuohe fought for a few rounds, they also tasted all the dishes here.

As soon as Xie Niannian put down his chopsticks, countless fireworks bloomed in the sky, scattered like a river of stars.

The ten-mile long street was brightly lit like daytime, and passers-by on the street cheered and jumped, watching the best lanterns of the year hang on the bamboo building.

It was a landscape palace lantern, and the small bridges and flowing water drawn by famous calligraphers and painters on the gauze were embellished with hazy lights, which was particularly artistic.

It was hung on the bamboo building built tens of feet above the ground, and the bamboo building was built so simply that it even swayed a little in the wind, making it dangerous to look at.

Even so, it has attracted countless people to flock to it.

It happened that the bamboo building was not far from Lanyue building, so Xie Niannian could see it clearly.

She admired the lamp for a moment, then went to see the people below who were trying to remove the lamp.

Just at this time, the wind was too strong to go upstairs, so most people just stayed quietly, waiting for the opportunity.

In fact, Chi Qing's attention never left Xie Niannian, seeing her staring intently at the bamboo building, she asked.

"You want that lamp?"

Hearing what she said, Xie Niannian recalled the appearance of this young man leaning on the building with a lamp, like a ball of white fireworks, which looked as cold as snow from a distance, but in fact he was equally hot to the touch.

Heartbeat, very heartbeat.

Xie Niannian suppressed the little deer that was jumping around in his heart, trying not to look so excited.

"Then be careful."

"Well, you wait for me here."

Chi Qing didn't know that Xie Niannian was looking at things and thinking about people, so she got an affirmative answer and walked down Lanyue Tower towards the direction of the lanterns.

Pedestrians were bustling, but that black figure was particularly obvious to Xie Niannian. Seeing her coming to the bottom of the bamboo building, she stepped up the slanted bamboo pole without hesitation.

A well-meaning person persuaded: "Girl, the wind is strong and you can't stand firmly, you can go up later."

There is still a person hanging upstairs, holding on to the almost empty railing, also waiting for the wind to stop.

"No need."

After Chi Qing dropped these words, he had already climbed several feet.

The bamboo pole under his feet was no more than the width of the palm of his hand, and it would sink a little when he stepped on it, and Chi Qing walked in a leisurely manner, just like walking on flat ground.

It made no difference to her whether it was windy or not.

In the middle of the climb, the unlucky ghost who was forced to stop halfway blocked her way.

In fact, you can go another way, but she has seen the structure of the bamboo building, and this is the fastest way.

Niannian is still waiting, she is in a hurry.

Chi Qing stared blankly at the unlucky ghost for a few seconds, his back got hairy, and he said nervously: "Uh, girl, you—"

Before he could finish speaking, Chi Qing interrupted: "Hold on tight."

"what?"

The man hadn't reacted yet, and the accident happened only in an instant, and Chi Qing stepped directly on the railing he was holding on to. This was thinner than bamboo, and it definitely couldn't bear the weight.

In this way, apart from the fragile railing under his feet, Chi Qing hardly had anything to cling to and support.

But the bamboo didn't break, and she didn't stay on the thin bamboo for two full seconds before turning around and jumping behind the man, standing firmly.

Even if the strength is relieved when jumping off, the bamboo building still inevitably creaks and shakes violently.

The spectators exclaimed, and Xie Niannian had never touched the tea in his hand, and his heart tightened when he saw this.

She is also too adventurous.

"Female, female hero, take it easy!"

The man was so frightened by the violent shaking that his whole body trembled, and he squatted down on the spot, not daring to move half an inch, and his grip was tighter than that of a koala.

Chi Qing ignored it, and continued walking up when the bamboo building stabilized a bit.

This lamp is already in her pocket.

Zhao Zhuoqu propped his head up and was also watching.

"When she was 14 years old, she also went upstairs to remove the lamp, and she stole the limelight. But she lost that lotus lamp later."

"now--"

The unfinished words were submerged in the waves of cheers. On the bamboo building, Chi Qing lightly jumped and took off the palace lantern.

Xie Niannian also applauded. If it wasn't so far away, she would probably be able to rush over to give Chi Qing a hug.

What Zhao Zhuoyu didn't finish was that now this palace lantern has a place to go.

At the beginning, Chi Qing held the lamp and looked into the distance, looking at the horizon, unable to see the way ahead.In the similar scene, she turned her head and stared at Xie Niannian.

That was her way home.

Realizing that Chi Qing was looking at him, Xie Niannian leaned out of the railing with half of his body, and mouthed towards Chi Qing.

"I really like you."

She spoke word by word, intentionally slowing down the speed, and it really did as she wished, and Chi Qing could understand it.

Because the person with the fluttering sleeves on the bamboo building suddenly smiled, like the moon shining brightly, and the fireworks and lanterns were her foils.

Chi Qing also replied, only three words.

Of course Xie Niannian couldn't hear it, and he didn't understand lip language very well, so he had to learn it both ways, but he really couldn't make a sentence.

She was squinting her eyes and thinking carefully, Zhao Zhuoqu couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and kindly reminded: "She asked you to sit back."

sit back.Three words, and perfectly fit the mouth shape.

Xie Niannian's thumping heart stopped beating, she smiled and returned to her seat calmly.First, I took a sip of the cold tea and set off the fire.

Zhao Zhuoyu watched Xie Niannian drinking cold tea one after another, and felt that he could understand Xie Niannian's mood very well.

"She's boring, isn't she?"

Thinking that Chi Qing brought Xia Qingzhi into the palace several times, and even helped her deliver letters to the Hou Mansion, so Zhao Zhuoju was kind enough to speak for Chi Qing.

"This person's heart is only the size of a palm, and many things are unimportant to her. You probably know it, but it's not clear enough."

Xie Niannian's attention was attracted, he didn't speak, but he was obviously listening carefully.

"How should I put it, if you cook for her, she will be very happy, she can eat anything, the important thing is you."

"You worry about her injury, she will be very happy, the injury doesn't matter, the important thing is you."

"Even if you don't do anything, just sleep in front of her, she will be happy, because it is you."

Zhao Zhuoyu seemed to have thought of something funny, with a bit of joking: "So if you lie on the railing like this and talk to her, she will only let you sit back first. Because you are more important than those nice words."

Xie Niannian lowered her head, she was reflected in the teacup, her eyes were filled with emotion, she murmured: "It sounds like she is quite stupid."

"is not that right."

Zhao Zhuoqu burst out laughing, leaning on Xia Qingzhi's body.

"Zhizhi, such a stupid person will have a wife. When I finish what I'm doing, I'll talk to Master Xia in person!"

Xie Niannian finally made room for the palace lantern.Even if you don't light it, just looking at the lamp surface is pleasing to the eye.

After the Lantern Festival, the entire Fengjing returned to its usual appearance, but it was different.

Several aristocratic families have been involved in the lawsuit, all kinds of things, such as oppressing civilians, taking bribes, and deceiving superiors and subordinates.

With one move, Gu Chen forcibly muddied the water in the elite circle.

And Chi Qing just watched her disturb, except occasionally when Gu Chen went too far, she would stop her.

After all, it was Zhao Zhuoqu who benefited in the end.

Zhao Zhuoyu is happy to see the success, and he can also help behind the scenes, taking this opportunity to replace his own people.Those who once supported the virtuous king were oppressed openly and secretly, and life was hard.

"If I were Gu Chen, my tail would be so high!" Xie Niannian secretly confided to Chi.

She closed the shop early today because she wanted to be lazy and pick Chi Qing home after cooking.

But Tianshusi's door hadn't even stepped out yet, Bai Yan walked over cursing.

"The people from the Ministry of Industry said just now that they have gunpowder for making fireworks, but they haven't used it up and lost it."

Chi Qing stopped, and repeated in a cold tone: "What's missing?"

Everyone knew that she could hear clearly, and she was just angry when she asked this question.

Looking at this situation, Xie Niannian also knew that today's dinner might not be late.

She understood very well: "Then you go to work and pay attention to safety."

Chi Qing looked calm, and also lowered his voice: "Well, I'll be back soon."

He went alone, and returned alone, but at least Chi Mansion was accompanied by the overlapping shadows.

The temperature in early spring was still a bit cold, so the two of them ordered a small red clay stove to make tea after eating.

In the steaming mist, Xie Niannian flipped through the unfinished pattern booklet, jotting down the patterns he liked, and only waited for Chi Qing to come back and tell her.

Die Ying was also reading, and she even brought a rabbit in to warm herself up.

Perhaps it was too warm in the room, and the bunny in Duoying was spread out into a bunny cake on the couch, very well-behaved.

Xie Niannian tossed Maomao over and over and tidied it up, without moving a single bit.

"When will Mistress marry Master?"

Even Duoying was curious, she was much more frank in front of Xie Niannian, and asked directly.

"I don't know, your master is very particular." Xie Niannian suddenly remembered Zhao Zhuoqu's rhetoric, shook his head and laughed.

"Maybe if I threaten her, it will be settled immediately."

After Xie Niannian finished speaking, he stroked a few more little rabbits, gently stroking the pattern written on the rice paper with his fingertips.

But I heard a loud noise in my ear - "Bang!",

The table shook a few times, and the water in the glass rippled.

The rabbit under his hand trembled, was frightened, and jumped to the corner of the wall to squat.Xie Niannian raised his eyes in panic, just in time to see a soaring flame burning in the sky.
