Chen Qinghan was in a good mood today. She didn't expect to be able to buy extremely cheap New Year's goods before the first day of the year. This made her feel like she had taken a big advantage, as if she had found money on the roadside, carrying large and small bags. His face was even more delighted, as if a delicate flower had bloomed.
On the street where the breeze blows gently, the gentle sunlight shines on the wall. Standing under the corner of the wall, you feel warm all over your body. You can't help but sit in a lounge chair in the afternoon sun and close your eyes to meditate.
Hua Meng and Cheetah looked at Chen Qinghan walking over from a distance. Without waiting for Li Hong's order, they walked over quickly and wanted to help Chen Qinghan carry the things in his hands, but they were all rejected by Chen Qinghan.
"The daughter of the people has met Your Highness." Chen Qinghan looked at the prince who didn't care whether the wall was dirty or not, and leaned against the wall at the door and saluted.
"Why don't you invite me in to sit down?" Li Hong looked at Chen Qinghan with a half-smile and said.
"Your Highness, if you have anything to say, just say it here. There is no one in the family of a civilian girl, and a civilian girl is a little girl. If Your Highness goes in, the neighbors will criticize the civilian girl." Chen Qinghan said with a cold face. He said looking straight ahead.
Li Hong shook his head helplessly. Although this little girl had the gentle and generous temperament unique to Jiangnan, her temper completely inherited her father's donkey temper, and she was too persistent.
Just because he promised her last year to let Chen Jingzhi return to Chang'an, but it didn't happen due to other things, Chen Qinghan thought that he was perfunctory with her, and made fun of herself with Jun Wu's jokes, golden words, etc. He did it once, and from then on he ignored him.
"It was your father who took the initiative to stay. He couldn't get away because of something. It's not that I didn't want him to come back. Didn't your father tell you about it?" Li Hong could only continue to repeat the last explanation.
Chen Qinghan glanced at him from the corner of her eyes, without saying a word, and pushed the door open to go home. Just as she was about to turn around and close the door, a big hand was placed on the door to prevent it from closing.
"I'm afraid my father's explanation was just because of your pressure." Chen Qinghan put down the baggage in both hands and began to push the door hard, trying to lock out the person who didn't mean what he said.
During the push and pull between the two, Chen Qinghan's exertion and her own strength were no match for the tall and powerful Crown Prince. So when His Royal Highness suddenly let go, Chen Qinghan, who was unprepared, withdrew his strength. Unable to hold back, the whole person suddenly bumped into Li Hong's arms.
He plunged into his arms and hit his chest with his small nose. His nose suddenly felt sore. Just as he was about to rub his nose, he felt his hands being held tightly.
"Hey, let go." Chen Qinghen couldn't see clearly if anyone on the street was looking at them, but his face was as hot as fire at the moment.
"You ran into my arms and asked me to let you go?" Such a good opportunity can arouse the passion in their hearts for married people. Naturally, they will not let go of teasing the beautiful girl in their arms. Beauty.
"Hey, someone is watching." Chen Qinghan was shy and anxious. It would be hard to explain if someone bumped into her.
"No one can see it. Whoever has time to look at us is probably busy buying new year's goods." Li Hong put his arm around Chen Qinghan's slender waist and put Chen Qinghan and himself in. inside the door.
Hua Meng and Cheetah hurriedly followed. The three of them hurriedly closed the door as if they were traffickers taking hostages. However, during the whole process, the hostages remained silent and did not utter a single cry of resistance.
The curtain of a gorgeous carriage in the distance was lifted, and the scene that happened at the door was clearly visible. After watching the door being closed by Hua Meng and Cheetah, Wu Mei sighed silently.
"The prince has been in Chang'an for the past two years, has he always been this virtuous?" Wu Mei was sitting in the carriage, and beside her, Banmei and Xunlan were waiting on her.
"Back to the Queen, this time it was an accident. Normally Miss Qinghan and His Highness would not be like this." Banmei felt her face burning and her heart was filled with embarrassment.
How could His Highness be so unexpectedly encountered by the Queen? It was so unlucky. And now they can only help His Highness smooth things over.
"Just protect him like this. He has been used to protecting him since he was little." Wu Mei shook her head helplessly, and then motioned for the carriage to continue moving forward. She didn't think anything about Li Hong's behavior today. It is necessary for him to go down and mediate between the two of them if he has the dignity to do so.
The city of Chang'an has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes in the two years since she and Li Zhi were away. On the way back to Chang'an, she only caught a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg. But recently, during my free time, I happened to go out to take a look, but I didn't want to encounter such a scene.
Someone without realizing it held Chen Qinghan's waist. After entering the small courtyard, he reluctantly let go of Chen Qinghan's waist. With a half smile on his face, he said seriously: "No. Keep a straight face, it doesn't look good. I came here today to tell you some good news. According to the schedule, your father should be returning to Chang'an in the next two days. "
"Do you think civilian girls will believe your words?" Chen Qinghan still had a sullen face, not taking the words of the current Crown Prince to heart at all.
"I am a Crown Prince, would I lie to you?" Li Hong motioned to Hua Meng and Cheetah to put the small and big bags into the house for Chen Qinghan, and then someone shyly pulled Chen Qinghan's hand with a look of reluctance. Little hands, sit down on the wooden chair in the small courtyard.
"You said last year that my father would come back." Chen Qinghan raised his head and withdrew his hand. He had been taken advantage of by this guy countless times, but this time he would never let him take advantage of her so casually.
"It was your father who had something wrong last year. It's not like I didn't want him to come back? Besides, look at Wanying's father, has he come back in the past few years? Wasn't he also..."
"Is it interesting to tell lies with your eyes open? Mr. Pei didn't come back last year?"
"Is there any?" someone asked pretending to be stupid.
"Huh." Chen Qinghan turned away angrily and ignored Li Hong.
She naturally knew that the reason her father could not come back last year was because Master Pei came back. She was not angry about it, but she was angry that the prince lied and said that her father would come back, and then took away her first kiss.
This reminded her afterwards that she always felt that the prince was just trying to kiss her, and was perfunctorily saying that his father would come back.
Li Hong looked at Chen Qinghan who turned his head, and after thinking for a while he said: "When your father comes back this time, he may not go to Lingnan again, but has other purposes."
"Where do you want to put him again?" Sure enough, this topic still made Chen Qinghan, who was angry, immediately point his beautiful cheek at Li Hong.
"Don't go anywhere, let you father and daughter stay in Chang'an."
"What are your intentions?" Chen Qinghan heard Li Hong being so generous and immediately looked at him warily and asked.
The outer city of Chang'an City was just built this year. All of a sudden, people in Chang'an City, whether they were ordinary people, officials, merchants, wealthy gentry, or wealthy nobles, began to build relationships and look for various benefits in the outer city.
Li Qiao will be sent to Anxi by himself after Yuan Day.
When something happened to Li Xian this time, although he refused Father Long's request, he still had to give an explanation to his father.
That is whether there are still officials like Wang Benli, and whether he really wronged Li Xian
These are not the ones that I have the final say on, but someone I and my father trust, Dr. Li Qiao of Yushitai, to check the authenticity.
An exiled prince is still a prince no matter what. It is impossible for him to make this matter a trivial matter after disobeying his father's request. At the very least, he must give an explanation to his father formally.
What's more... after the first day, no one knows whether his father will suddenly give him the Zen position with a wave of his hand.
After Li Qiao went to Anxi, the position of Yushitai needed an upright person to take charge. Both himself and his father were extremely satisfied with Chen Jingzhi.
What's more, as Wanying said today, the queen mother is urging her again, so if Chen Jingzhi doesn't come back, she can't bring Chen Qinghan into the East Palace, right
Of course, Li Hong would never tell Chen Qinghan this last reason. All he could say, except for some insignificant matters above the court, was to remind Chen Qinghan that he had another important use for his father.
It is actually very simple to enlighten a woman, but it is also an extremely impossible task to enlighten a woman.
In Li Hong's view, trying to persuade a woman is like playing Russian Roulette. You don't know that your words will suddenly make the woman you like become elated and forgive you. Naturally, you don't know either. That sentence will ignite a woman's dynamite keg.
Chen Qinghan, who had finally forgiven Li Hong, gradually smiled more and more, and then at a speed that surprised Li Hong, she began to introduce to Li Hong what she had gained in New West City today.
It is difficult for Li Hong to understand how a woman can look at you coldly one second and face you with a picturesque smile the next. Whether it is Pei Wanying, Chen Qinghan, or Bai Chun, he has experienced this from them all. situation, but until now, even after ten lifetimes, he... still can't figure out women.
After digging out Hua Meng's pocket for a long time, he finally took out some money, but Chen Qinghan said excitedly behind him: "I have money here, don't make it difficult for them, just keep the money for them."
Li Hong turned around and looked at the ten-tael silver ingot in Chen Qinghan's hand, then put the broken silver in his hand pocket and said, "Keep it as a spare in case you don't need such a large ingot of silver. "
Chen Qinghan nodded in agreement. Hua Meng and Cheetah watched the two of them leave side by side. They opened their mouths to speak. After thinking about it, they gave up. They had to follow and protect His Highness secretly and took Chen Qinghan to visit Xinxi City in the outer city.
