C17 (1/2)
Feng Xiwu obediently received it, lowering her head and drinking the soup.
Seeing that he was praising her for being thin, she decided to reluctantly drink a little.
After dinner, Qu Jingxi took Feng Xiwu on a stroll in the backyard, as the sky slowly darkened.
At first, Feng Xiwu did not agree. Firstly, she was afraid of the dark, and would normally not go out after dark; secondly, she wanted to finish reading a book she did not finish reading a few days ago. That book was a story, and there were a lot of twists and turns in the story, so she was really looking forward to the ending.
However, Feng Xiwu was clear that the former was the main reason. How could a person who had to light a lamp even when he was sleeping possibly dare to walk in the dark garden? Even with someone by her side, she still refused in her heart.
However, the Prince Jing Lord was still stronger than she had imagined.
However, after a quarter of an hour, the palace's back garden was already as bright as day. All sorts of lanterns hung from grass and trees, and the lifelike sculptures on the corridor were especially bright.
The small rabbit lantern made of white paper shone brightly in the fiery red candlelight, appearing exceptionally adorable.
”It should be fine now, right? My princess. ” Qu Jingxi held her small hand and led her to the balcony, looking down from the second floor.
Zhu Qi was speechless on the side. Your Highness, you sent people to search for lanterns in the capital city in the shortest time possible, just so that you could have your imperial concubine accompany you for a walk in the backyard?
It was not the New Year's Eve, so there were very few lanterns. When he thought about how Prince Jing Palace's guards were looking around for lanterns, he realized that scene. He searched the house even more.
At Qu Jingxi's request, the blacksmith made a fence made of fine red wood other than the jumped up. In order to prevent Feng Xiwu's hands from getting pierced by the wooden splinters, she carefully cut and grinded all the wood.
The surroundings were pitch-black, and the palace in the dark night was as bright as day.
Feng Xiwu was startled, her red lips could only utter two words, ”You know?”
A questioning tone, a definite guess.
”I've asked Zi Lan. Since you're afraid of the dark, then the Duke Palaces should change because of you.” Without you, what use would I have had the manor?
Qu Jingxi answered truthfully. When the time was right, he would pour out everything he had hidden in his heart to her.
Feng Xiwu shook her head. It was not necessary.
”Why, I'm not that important.”
”No, you are the princess consort of this palace, the mistress of this palace. Of course you are the most important.”
Qu Jingxi retorted. In his heart, nothing was as precious as her.
Even if she wanted the moon in the sky, he would do everything in his power to satisfy her.
However, she … They had only been married for a day, was it really that important? Feng Xiwu looked at the candlelight in the courtyard, lost in thought.
”What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? ” Qu Jingxi was a little nervous when he saw the girl beside him lower her head silently. Did he do something wrong?
He thought she'd be happy to see it.
Feng Xiwu lifted her head, revealing a bright and beautiful smile, shaking the man's mind.
”No, everything about Darling isn't wrong. Aren't we going for a walk?” ”Then let's hurry up and go down.”
The girl's delicate hand was placed in his somewhat rough palm, and when he held it, it was exceptionally soft. Even his heart had softened.
Under the hazy moonlight, the two walked side by side across the brightly lit gravel road.
The wind at night blew against the girl's fiery red skirt, making it seem even more gorgeous than the flowers at the side. Feng Xiwu greedily thought about how great it would be if she could have enough time to stay at this moment.
”...”
”Your majesty, tomorrow the Prince Jing will bring the Prince Jing's concubine into the palace. I wonder what your majesty is going to bestow upon the Prince Jing's consort?”
