Qingcheng actually regretted it as soon as she said it. She was afraid that Shen Changge would think that she didn't know how to respect herself, so she hurriedly covered it up: "I was joking, Captain Shen must not take it to heart!"
After saying that, he walked towards the palace gate as if running away.
"Okay! I happen to be hungry too!"
The voice of Shen Changge behind him was clear but seemed to be filled with infinite affection.
Qingcheng immediately turned around, her face beaming with joy.
"Are you serious? You want to dine with me?"
"real!"
The corners of Shen Changge's mouth raised in a beautiful arc, Qingcheng was stunned unconsciously.
After a long time, Qingcheng thought that if she and Shen Changge ate together in her dormitory at this moment, the news would spread throughout the palace within an hour. She was not afraid, but Shen Changge was different. Sometimes I am afraid that he will be punished for this and will be criticized for it.
But she really wanted to have dinner with him. She looked at the palace gate and Shen Changge in embarrassment, not knowing what to do.
"I'll take the princess to a place! The princess will definitely like it." As smart as Shen Changge was, he naturally understood her concerns and suggested.
"Okay? Great, where to go?"
Qingcheng immediately smiled again.
"There is a bamboo forest near Chonglin Hall. It is lush and green, quiet and elegant. It happens to be not far from Changping Palace. I used to rest there when I was on duty." Shen Changge said softly with a smile on his lips.
"Okay! Then I'll go back to the palace to prepare. You can wait for me there!" Qingcheng said excitedly.
"Ok, I will wait for you!"
Shen Changge nodded towards her, and then looked at her back for a long time before reluctantly walking towards the bamboo forest alone.
Qingcheng was both happy and nervous and hurriedly arranged for the palace people to prepare various meals. Seeing this, Luzhu wanted to persuade her that it was against the rules, but she met her murderous eyes and shut up immediately!
Chonglin Hall Green Bamboo Forest
When Qingcheng rushed to the green bamboo forest with a lot of exquisite meals, Shen Changge was leaning on a bamboo chair beside the bamboo forest, holding a jade flute and playing it leisurely. The sound was gentle and clear, like resentment and admiration. Weeping is like complaining; the lingering sound is lingering like a wisp.
Qingcheng stood quietly behind him, already immersed in the beautiful and sad sound of the flute.
One sentence after another, one thread at a time, a lifetime, the clouds roll and the clouds relax, the flowers bloom and fall...
The east wind blows away thousands of flowers and trees at night, and even blows down the stars like rain. BMW carvings fill the road with fragrance, the phoenix flute sounds, the jade pot turns light, and fish and dragons dance all night. Moths are like golden wisps of snow and willows, and laughter is filled with dark fragrance. People are looking for him thousands of times. Suddenly looking back, that person is there, in the dimly lit place!
After the song ended, Shen Changge turned around and saw the obsessed Princess Qingcheng behind him.
"Qingcheng!" Shen Changge called out affectionately!
Qingcheng reacted after hearing the sound.
"Captain Shen, Chang... Chang Ge!"
Qingcheng saw that Shen Changge no longer called her princess or a minister from just now. He just called her, Qingcheng!
Her heart suddenly felt sweet, and everything beautiful was like a dream!
"What's wrong with you? Why are you always in a daze! I'm not playing well?" Shen Changge asked with a chuckle. Then he stood up and naturally brushed the dust off the bamboo chair opposite her and motioned for her to sit down.
"Of course not. You play very beautifully. I'm just wondering why I feel like crying when I listen to such a beautiful tune?"
Qingcheng frowned in confusion.
When Shen Changge heard this, he immediately put away his heart and felt sad. The past is gone. The most important thing is that now she is by his side. If you ask for kindness, you will get kindness. What else can you ask for!
He put away the jade flute in his hand, gave her a slight smile, and then said slowly: "Perhaps "The Sapphire Case" is too sad. It's okay. I'll play some cheerful tunes for you after dinner later."
"Yeah! That's great!" Qingcheng immediately smiled at Yan Yan again.
"Serve the meal!" Qingcheng clapped her hands briefly, quite proudly. Upon hearing this, Hong Yu and Lv Zhu, who were not far away, immediately placed all kinds of exquisite meals on the table one by one.
When Shen Changge held chopsticks and faced a plate of fried spring rolls, he couldn't help but fall into memories again.
At that time, he, Ye Hu, and Qingxuan were still in the small courtyard of Yongzhou. Qingxuan also made such a plate of fried spring rolls that day. At first, he abided by the etiquette and took a piece to eat. In the end, it didn't take a moment. The rest went into Ye Hu's belly.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the time. Fang felt that Feng Fan and Ya were starving at Ye Hu's place, so he stopped being particular and just used chopsticks as swords with Ye Hu. They had to fight for almost 300 rounds. When Qing Xuan was carrying the last dish When she came up, she happened to see the two of them having a chopstick fight like children, and she couldn't help laughing.
Qingxuan was so happy at that time, but after so many things happened, he never saw her smile again. He had the impression that she was always leaning against the window alone and crying silently, as if she was infinitely sad in her heart.
Qingcheng, I will never make you sad and cry again. Since God has allowed us to meet again, let me take care of you, cherish you and protect you this time! May you always be as happy as you are now, with a heart full of joy, a smile on your face, and happiness throughout your life!
"Hey, hey... Shen Changge!"
Seeing that he was just staring at the food, Qingcheng couldn't help but wave her hands in front of his eyes.
Shen Changge came back to his senses immediately and smiled at her: "Is this fried spring roll your masterpiece, Qingcheng?"
"How do you know?" Qingcheng was surprised.
"I looked at the whole table of dishes, and this one is the most popular in my heart. I naturally knew it was made by you." Shen Changge lowered his head and whispered, then picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
"How's it going? Is it delicious?"
Qingcheng looked at him eagerly, her eyes full of expectation.
Shen Changge suddenly became more playful.
"Hmm...a little sweet!"
"No way? What I made is obviously salty meat! How can it be sweet?"
Qingcheng quickly took a piece and put it in her mouth. After taking a bite, she said doubtfully: "It's not sweet, it's obviously salty!"
Then she saw Shen Changge's meaningful smile and understood immediately.
"You lied to me! I won't let you eat!"
After saying that, Qingcheng put the plate of fried spring rolls directly in her hand to protect her, and stared at Shen Changge with a proud face.
"I did not lie to you!"
Shen Changge lowered his head and smiled, then quickly picked up a piece of fried spring roll with chopsticks while Qingcheng was not paying attention, and immediately put it into his mouth.
"You! You're a scumbag! But is it really delicious?"
Qingcheng suddenly asked in a low voice, the look of expectation in her eyes getting stronger.
"tasty!"
Shen Changge's eyes were burning.
"If you like to eat, I will cook it for you often in the future."
Qingcheng laughed out loud and said immediately.
"good!"
"Then what else do you like to eat?"
"I like everything you do!"
"I like to make all kinds of delicious food by myself, and I can also make many, many delicious things."
"I know!"
"how do you know?"
"I just know it!"
…
After finishing the meal, the two of them talked about everything. The rapid progress of their relationship made Hongyu and Luzhu stunned.
After that, Shen Changge played several pieces of music for Qingcheng. The sound of the flute jumped, crisp and short, one after another, first like a splashing spring, then like a hundred flowers blooming, and interspersed with the chirping of birds. and.
Not only Qingcheng was mesmerized by the music, but Hongyu and Lvzhu were also immersed in the sound of the flute for a long time and couldn't extricate themselves!
Time flew by, and it was almost noon in a blink of an eye, and the two of them said goodbye!
When they reached the fork, Qingcheng finally asked Shen Changge: "Changge, are you busy tomorrow?"
"Everything will be fine after you finish your duty!" Shen Changge replied immediately.
"Then will you come to me again?" Qingcheng asked shyly.
"Yes!" Shen Changge said affirmatively.
"Great, then I'll be waiting for you here at three o'clock tomorrow!"
Qingcheng was immediately happy.
"good!"
Shen Changge's tone was extremely gentle.
After returning to Changping Palace, Qingcheng kept crawling on the bed and giggling at first, and then suddenly became anxious and uneasy soon after.
"Hongyu, tell me, why does Shen Changge seem to be a different person? Why is he suddenly so nice to me?"
"Princess, didn't you always hope that Captain Shen would be nice to you? Why are you confused again now that he is nice to you?" Hongyu said with a smile.
"No, I just feel like he suddenly changed his mind? Do you think all this is just a dream?"
Qingcheng put her hands on her forehead as if thinking, and then said hurriedly to Hongyu: "Hongyu, pinch me."
"Princess, I don't dare to pinch you, but I can tell you for sure that you are not dreaming. Everything that happened today is real. I and Luzhu saw it with my own eyes. Captain Shen really likes you, our princess. .”
Hongyu felt that Qingcheng's worry about gains and losses now was really asking for trouble, so she quickly comforted her.
"It's good if it's true. I'm just afraid that when I wake up later, I'll find that all of this was a dream!" Qingcheng said to herself.
Hongyu couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
It was already past lunch time when Shen Changge returned to Zhenbei Houfu. Shen Wu was extremely anxious. When she saw him coming back, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why did you stay on night watch for so long yesterday?"
Shen Changge quickly replied respectfully: "I met a friend on the way back to the palace and chatted with her for a few more words, so I was delayed!"
Shen Wu couldn't help but frowned and said: "Who is so ignorant? Knowing that you were on duty yesterday, I still kept you chatting! I even missed lunch time!"
Qingcheng, who was far away in Changping Palace, suddenly sneezed at this moment. Luzhu quickly picked up the cloak and put it on her, nagging: "Princess, are you catching a cold? Hongyu, you must bring more clothes to the princess when she goes out in the future." A cloak, don’t let the princess get windy!”
Qingcheng turned a deaf ear to this, still immersed in the memories of having dinner with Shen Changge in the bamboo forest today.
When Shen Changge saw Shen Wu complaining about Qingcheng, he quickly explained: "Mother, it's Changge who has something to say to this friend, and I've already eaten, so mother doesn't have to worry!"
"You've eaten, oh, that's okay. I was worried that you would be hungry when you got home, so someone would keep the food warm on the stove for you. Since you've eaten, that's it!" Shen Wu said softly. said.
Shen Changge felt warm in his heart when he heard this. Although Shen Wu was not her biological mother, she had always treated him sincerely, so he respectfully replied: "Thank you for your trouble, mother!"
"Why should the family be so polite? Well, Changge, actually my mother has something to tell you. My natal family has a niece who is twenty-eight years old. She has bright eyes and white teeth, pink face and peach cheeks, jade-like skin, and a graceful figure. She is truly a stunning beauty, and I thought she was a perfect match for you, so I took your birth dates and had them checked, and guess what? It turned out to be a match made in heaven!"
Mrs. Shen Wu smiled with crooked eyebrows and kept talking to herself, as if Shen Changge was going to marry her niece.
