His movements were already very gentle, but they still disturbed the sleeping little man.
She opened her red and swollen eyes and looked at him confusedly for a while. Then she thought of something and quickly pulled his sleeves tightly and said aggrievedly: "Don't leave me again..."
When Chu Qi heard the words, his throat was a little stiff, so he sat down by the bed. After a while, he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just watching over you."
Jill smiled through tears, took his hand, pillowed it under her face, and leaned against him dependently.
"Go to sleep." Chu Qi reached out and patted her back gently.
"Oh." Jill responded and closed her eyes obediently to sleep.
Chu Qi sat by the bed and looked at her.
After not seeing each other for a year, she has grown up a lot, and her eyebrows have also opened up a lot.
Looking at her sweet little face, he felt filled with satisfaction.
After a while, Jill breathed lightly and fell asleep.
There was a trace of tenderness in his dark eyes, and he reached out to touch her head and whispered, "I miss you too, Jill..."
When Jill woke up, it was already dark.
She opened her eyes, but when she didn't see the seventh day of the lunar month, she thought she had a dream.
She sat at a loss for a while until Mrs. Chang came in to help her wash up.
"Mother Chang, is Xiaoqi back?" she asked softly.
Mrs. Chang looked at her in surprise, "Don't you remember?"
"Huh?" Jill looked at her with a pair of dark and bright eyes.
"Xiao Qi is back, and you've wiped his nose and tears all over his body." Mrs. Chang said jokingly, twisting a handkerchief over to wipe her face.
Jill's eyes widened, "He's really back, am I not dreaming?"
"Of course not. The little princess was tired from crying in the afternoon, so it was Xiaoqi who brought you in to sleep." Chang said softly.
When Jill heard this, she immediately couldn't sit still, "What about others?"
"The emperor held a banquet to cleanse him, and he went to the Qionglu Palace to attend the banquet. In the evening, the empress came to see you in person. Seeing that you were sleeping, she did not wake you up." Mrs. Chang explained.
Jill doesn't like places with too many people, especially this kind of banquet, she doesn't like it even more.
But thinking about what Yaoyao said to her in the afternoon, she was no longer calm.
According to Yaoyao, the father intends to marry the princess of Southern Xinjiang to Xiao Qi.
She doesn't want Xiao Qi to get married, and she doesn't want him to marry and have children.
Because in that case, she will be very sad and sad.
At this time, Jill was still young and didn't understand the relationship between men and women, but that didn't stop her from wanting to occupy the seventh grade of junior high school by herself.
How could she allow others to take away Chu Qi's attention
He has always been hers alone!
Thinking of the princess of Southern Xinjiang, her expression changed, and she suddenly lifted the quilt and ran out barefoot, so fast that Chang couldn't react.
When she realized what she was doing, she quickly picked up her cloak and shoes and chased after her, "Little princess, the ground is cold, please put on your shoes first..."
Qionglu Palace.
The banquet has just begun.
This banquet was mainly held for the triumphant return on the seventh day of the lunar month, and also to receive the envoys from southern Xinjiang.
When Southern Xinjiang was defeated, they not only had to surrender to the great merchants forever, but also pay tribute of gold and silver every year. To show their sincerity, Nan Xinjiang also presented Princess Manli, who was known as the most beautiful woman in Southern Xinjiang.
At the beginning of the banquet, Princess Manli presented a dance from southern Xinjiang.
In the main hall, she was seen wearing a bright red dress with southern Xinjiang style, holding fine gauze in her hands, dancing gracefully.
Different from ordinary dance music, every rise and fall of her movements contains power, and the fine yarn on her hands is like a swimming snake, vivid and vivid.
Everyone was attracted by her dancing, but Manli's eyes that seemed to be able to captivate people were looking at Chu Qi who was sitting alone in a corner.
Chu Qi sat there without touching the food or wine. His eyes seemed to be looking at Manli, but he didn't seem to be looking at her, a little carelessly.
Manli's eyes narrowed slightly, and the fine gauze in her hand suddenly flew towards Chu Qi's face. The teasing meaning was very obvious.
Everyone was in an uproar, and then understood.
