191 Quarrel
◎ "It's my fault, can you please stop being angry?" she said.◎
On September 25, Princess Jing'an, who had stayed in Jizhou for more than a month, set out to return to Beijing.
Xu Qinghe's injuries had not yet healed fully, so it was inconvenient for her to ride in the wobbly carriage. So he walked side by side with her to the outside of the city gate while the sun was still warm.
After a few autumn rains, the weather had already turned cooler. Jing'an was weak, so he put on his cloak and hat before going out.
Xie Qi still didn't talk to Xu Qinghe, but when he was about to go out, he saw the girl putting on her coat and about to go out, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
It's like this again, she is always like this, throwing her heart into others, when will she ever think about herself?
With a sullen face, he fished out a cloak and a veil from the closet, then strode to the door and stopped the man.
Although he did not hurt Xu Qinghe's wound, his actions were really rough. He messed up the bun that Nanzhicai had tied for Xu Qinghe, and even knocked a pearl hairpin with gold flowers askew.
The hairpin fell off and got hooked on her bun, making her look extremely miserable.
Xu Qinghe gritted his teeth and endured it without losing his temper.
He was clearly doing a good deed, but Xie Qi snorted coldly and pretended to talk to his daughter with his head down.
"Ping'an, tell your troubled mother that her injuries haven't healed yet and she can't stand the wind. Since she didn't protect herself and got hurt, she should be more alert."
Ping An blinked her eyes. It was clear that her parents were right in front of her, but her father insisted that she go and pass on the message.
Well...but since Dad did this, there must be a reason for it.
So she honestly and tactfully repeated what she had said to her mother.
Xu Qinghe also snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to pull off the cloak, and threw it to Nanzhi: "Go get me a new one."
"Also, Ping'an, tell your nosy father that he has no business meddling in my affairs. Since he can't say anything nice, tell him to stay away from me."
Ping An looked at her father, but before she could pass on the message, she saw that his father's face turned dark.
“…”
She lowered her head and quickly ran to Aunt Jing'an's side to avoid the impending smoke of war.
She doesn't want to get involved.
While Nanzhi was dressing the princess, she sighed secretly.
I don't know what happened to the two masters these past two days. They got angry again. She had just deliberately given the Marquis a chance to show off in front of the princess, but the Marquis was also useless. How did he make things like this?
After everything was packed up, everyone finally went out.
Princess Jing'an and Xu Qinghe were walking side by side in front. She looked back quietly and saw Xie Qi following them several steps behind with Ping'an in his arms.
Even Ping'an noticed the abnormal behavior of the two in the past few days, so how could Princess Jing'an not know?
She asked softly, "Why did you quarrel with the Marquis?"
Xu Qinghe snorted heavily, "He was the one who insisted on arguing with me. Who knows what's wrong with him? He was fine that day, but at night he insisted on sleeping on the floor and didn't even talk to me, as if he was deliberately leaving me alone. He thought I would care? I don't."
Before Princess Jing'an could offer any words of comfort, Xu Qinghe said, "He's just being petty, don't pay any attention to him."
Princess Jing'an secretly found it funny.
When they were in Kyoto, she was half a year older than Qinghe, but she always felt that she was as steady as an older sister.
Now in Jizhou, she finally felt that the person in front of her was her sister.
So even though she knew the reason, she didn't point it out, but just asked gently, "Do you know how seriously your Lord Xie's injury is this time?"
Xu Qinghe was stunned, paused, and subconsciously looked behind him.
But he happened to meet Xie Qi's gaze that was fixed on him.
Xie Qi seemed to be caught off guard. His eyes were panicked for a moment, then he immediately looked away. He also deliberately pursed his lips tightly and tightened his jaw, as if someone owed him hundreds of taels of silver.
Xu Qinghe paused for a moment, then turned back and continued walking forward.
The gaze behind him immediately moved back.
She lowered her eyes and didn't look back.
"I...I didn't know he was injured."
Since waking up, she only carefully checked her daughter's body for any injuries, but never asked him.
He came back from the battlefield and entered the fire scene twice. How could he not have any injuries on his body?
She admitted that it was her negligence.
Princess Jing'an said, "That day you were trapped in the fire. Nanzhi hid the news from me, so I didn't go to see you. When I learned you had returned, Marquis Xie was already standing by your side, covered in blood."
Most of it was Qinghe's blood, but there was also some of his own.
"The court doctor advised him to treat his injuries immediately, but he refused and insisted on staying there until you woke up. He stayed there for three days."
"Later, I heard from the court doctor that when he finally agreed to see the wounds, many of them had festered and in some places, the torn clothes had grown into the flesh. It took a lot of effort to treat them. But she stayed by your bedside and didn't say a word..."
…
The autumn sun is so warm that even the cool breeze brings warmth.
Standing in front of the departing carriage, Princess Jing'an held Xu Qinghe's hand and choked up, saying, "If I have the chance in the future, I will come to Jizhou again. When I do, remember to take me around the place where you grew up..."
Xu Qinghe's eyes also turned red, but he said, "Next time, I'll go to Kyoto to see you."
Princess Jing'an paused in wiping her tears.
"really?"
Xu Qinghe nodded: "Of course I take it seriously."
Things are different now. If she returns to Kyoto, she will definitely not be in the same mood as she was a decade ago.
These beautiful expectations for the future finally diluted the sadness of separation a little bit.
Princess Jing'an got on the carriage. As the carriage slowly moved forward, she leaned out of the window and waved to Xu Qinghe from afar.
The wind at the city gate was a bit strong. Xu Qinghe stood there for a moment, and the light gauze in front of her veil was blown open repeatedly.
A cool breeze blew in, causing a slight cough in my chest.
Suddenly, a dark shadow covered over them.
The wind that blew in was blocked by this tall wall of people.
The veil slowly fell down, and Xu Qinghe looked up at him from behind the veil.
Xie Qi still had a cold face.
Compared to two months ago, this man has lost a lot of weight, his face is full of fatigue, and his lips are even a little pale.
Thinking of her negligence in the past few days, her heart tightened and she felt a slight pain.
However, the man said to his daughter in a sarcastic tone, "Ping An, tell your worrying mother not to stand in the wind all the time. If you get hurt, you'll have to take medicine again."
“…”
The heartache he had just felt disappeared immediately. Xu Qinghe's face darkened and he left in a huff.
At night, when I saw this man lying on the ground in a single layer of clothes, the pain in my heart came back to me.
But before she could say anything, the man quickly turned off the light and lay down with his back to her.
Xu Qinghe decided to ignore him, but she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Finally, the person on the ground couldn't stand it anymore and sat up suddenly.
Without his daughter to pass on the message, he could only speak to her directly.
"You tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep. Do you want Uncle Fan to prescribe you some bitter tranquilizing soup tomorrow?"
There was a mixture of irritability and helplessness in that voice, without any of the warmth of the past.
Xu Qinghe's heart sank slightly, but he knew it wasn't entirely his fault.
"you……"
She cleared her throat and tried to keep her voice steady as she spoke, "Turn on the light. I have something to tell you."
Xie Qi's idea moved him, and he immediately stood up to light the lamp.
The flickering candlelight gradually lit up, and the girl leaned against the head of the bed, with her soft black hair hanging down slightly in front of her.
Her hair was black and shiny, and when it was let down, it looked softer than those precious silks, and it made her palm-sized face look even whiter like jade.
Now, the beauty lowered her eyelashes and bit her lips lightly.
"These past few days..."
She paused, as if struggling with her words.
After a moment, he continued, "These past few days, I've only been focused on my daughter's injuries and haven't asked about yours. I'm sorry. Can you please…"
Xu Qinghe twisted a lock of her hair in her hand and played with it. She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and finally spoke as if she found it difficult to speak: "Can you please stop being angry?"
She is indeed not the kind of girl who can admit her mistakes voluntarily.
Having known her for more than 20 years, this seemed to be the first time that Xie Qi heard her admit her mistake to him. She said to him in such a soft and flattering voice: It's my fault, can you please stop being angry?
Xie Qi admitted that he was indeed slightly moved.
But the problem is... this isn't what he cares about at all? !
He gritted his teeth in anger and said almost word by word, "Do you think I've been mad at you these past few days because of this?"
Xu Qinghe finally raised his eyes, blinked, and looked confused: "What else?"
Xie Qi was furious, but in the end he smiled: "Do you think I'm so petty that I'd compete with my daughter for your little attention?"
Xu Qinghe frowned, but still asked, "What else?"
Is he a very magnanimous person? He has remembered Wei Ming for so long because of what happened six years ago. Doesn't he think he is very magnanimous?
"Good, very good."
Xie Qi pinched his waist, raised his hand and pointed at the beauty on the bed who didn't understand the situation yet. He was furious, but couldn't say a word.
If he said it lightly, she wouldn't understand at all; if he said it seriously, she would get angry. Now, he was simply, he was in a dilemma!
Finally, Xie Qi picked up the robe from the rack and wrapped it around himself.
"Xu Qinghe, you are very kind. You are right. Someone as petty as me is not worthy of sharing a bed with the princess. You should sleep alone first."
After saying that, he tore open the curtain and strode away.
"Thanks……"
Xu Qinghe wanted to call out to the person, but all she heard was the sound of the door slamming shut.
She wanted to say that he had taken her coat.
But I don't know what's wrong with this guy.
He would never get angry with me on his own initiative, but why was he so angry this time?
She herself had a bad temper and usually needed him to coax her. This time, she finally lowered her head to coax him, but he didn't appreciate it.
And he was mean to her.
She is still injured.
Xu Qinghe felt a slight soreness in his nose and felt uncomfortable, so he simply wrapped himself in the quilt and lay down.
Don't pay any attention to him anymore.
**
outside the house.
Xie Qi wrapped himself in clothes and stood in the corridor to enjoy the breeze.
Cool breezes blew over him, like the cool fingertips of a beauty. After a long time, they finally blew away the anger in his heart.
When he looked down, he found that he had put on the wrong girl's clothes again.
He was suddenly stunned. Why did this scene seem so familiar?
On the Chinese Valentine's Day that year, Wei Ming fell into the water. She jumped into the water to save him, but he didn't let her get close to him at night.
He was also so angry that he pulled a robe from the rack and walked to the corridor, only to find that it was her dress.
What happened next?
Oh, later he stood in the corridor to enjoy the breeze for a while, then he calmed himself down and went back to the room to get close to her.
Every time he would stick to her without leaving any manly dignity.
This time, he couldn't go back no matter what.
He snorted heavily and strode towards the wing room.
