Jill stepped forward, put her arms around his neck on tiptoes, raised her head hard, and brought her soft lips to him. After finally kissing him, she said with a smile: "Yes, my Xiaoqi is very cute."
Chu Qi disagreed with this.
"It's more appropriate for girls to use cute words." He reminded.
"I don't think of you as a girl." Jill said funny, then she smiled and said, "Xiao Qi also likes me very much, so she doesn't want my things and gives them to others. Right?"
Facing the girl's eyes that seemed to see everything, Chu Qi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, because she knew all the thoughts in his heart.
He really didn't want her things to be touched by other men.
So he would rather wash it himself.
Fortunately, Jill didn't ask for more information this time. She instead said, "Xiao Qi, let's go have breakfast. I'm hungry."
"Okay." Chu Qi responded, and just as he was about to take her into the house, a soft hand suddenly slipped into his palm.
He lowered his eyes and saw that Jill's lips were slightly pouted, a little unhappy, "Xiao Qi, why don't you hold my hand?"
Chu Qi looked at the soft little hands in her palms and said softly: "Because you have grown up."
"But my mother is not young anymore, and my father often holds her hand." Jill blinked and said slyly, "Unless you don't like me enough."
Chu Qi naturally knew that the emperor often held the queen's hand, but...
Looking at the grown-up girl in front of him, he was still somewhat uncomfortable.
But when he met the girl's expectant eyes, he didn't say anything, but directly held her hand and tightened, "Let's go."
Looking at her hand, held in his palm, Jill's mouth curved beautifully, she was finally satisfied.
She snuggled next to him and looked up at him quietly.
The man who looked so calm just now had a faint blush on his handsome face. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell.
It turns out that Xiao Qi is shy.
This realization made Jill very happy, and she couldn't help but eat more for breakfast.
After finishing the meal, Chu Qi came out of the house dressed neatly.
When Jill saw this, she asked, "Where are you going?"
"Jier, you have been out for many days. It is time to return to the palace. I will take you back." Chu Qi said in a deep voice.
When Jill heard this, she immediately frowned, "I don't want to go back, I haven't spent enough time with you."
Chu Qi pursed her lips slightly, touched her head, and comforted her gently, "If you don't go back, the emperor and the empress will have to worry."
"But when I go back to the palace, I won't be able to see you." Jill said sadly, and the good mood just now was gone.
Chu Qi was reluctant to send her back, but Ji'er was an unmarried girl. Being with him, a grown man, all day long would cause criticism from others. He didn't care, but he didn't want Ji'er's reputation to suffer.
"Jier, be obedient. I will visit you as soon as I have the chance. But you must go back now." When Chu Qi said this, he paused and continued, "We must also report our affairs to the emperor and the emperor. The queen explains."
Now that he has decided to marry Ji Er, he must first face the emperor and the empress. No matter what, he must tell the emperor and empress. This is also a sign of respect for the empress and Ji Er.
Although this might make it difficult for him to see Jill again, he couldn't keep her in the house without knowing anything. It would be bad for her.
Hearing this, Ji Er was startled for a moment and was no longer so resistant to returning to the palace, but she was still reluctant to let go of Xiao Qi.
She leaned over and hugged his waist, "Are you worried that my reputation will be affected?"
Chu Qi stroked her hair and said nothing.
