—It turned out that Lu Huai had covered her eyes.
He leaned on her shoulder and sighed softly.
He said, "Qin Xi, your eyes are so beautiful."
He said, "Qin Xi, don't look at me like that."
He said, "Qin Xi, I can't take it."
He said, "Qin Xi, can you hear your heartbeat?"
He whispered many words in her ear, and finally just stroked her soft, delicate earlobe, gently murmuring her name, "Qin Xi... Qin Xi..."
Qin Xi blinked, slowly lowered his hand, and adjusted to the light. She saw him looking at her, not even moving his eyes.
She smiled softly, wrapped her arms around his neck in his gaze, closed her eyes again, and tilted her head back to kiss him accurately.
To his astonishment, Qin Xi finally managed to take the initiative. Although he ended up being the one who took advantage of her for quite some time, none of that mattered anymore.
The important thing is that, when she was completely dizzy from the kisses, she finally remembered what she wanted to say—
Where is my... horse...?
...
...
In the palace stables, Er Gou was kicking his hooves and occasionally turning around in circles.
The eunuch guarding the stables wiped away his cold sweat. Whose horse was this?
All the other horses had already been taken away, but this fine, dark brown steed, which looked the best, remained. One wonders whose owner is so wealthy that they wouldn't even take such a fine horse with them.
I really don't know whether to call it being generous or careless.
But he couldn't leave. If the horse ran away and offended a nobleman, he would be beheaded.
Therefore, even though it was mealtime, he couldn't leave and could only wait for them to finish eating and return for their shift.
The stable eunuch sighed softly, feeling utterly unlucky.
Not only is it inferior to this horse, but it has also caused them to be so burdened that they can't even eat.
...
...
Finally, Lu Huai sent someone to bring Er Gou back, and Qin Xi personally comforted it for a long time before it calmed down.
That night, Qin Qi lay in Lu Huai's arms, one hand around his waist, while the other hand restlessly circled his chest.
"Hiss." Lu Huai gasped. She was playing with fire.
He grabbed her small hand, kissed it several times as if punishing her, and warned, "Don't move."
Qin Qi's palms tickled from his kisses, and she giggled. Though she didn't move again, she complained, "It's all your fault. I didn't get a chance to speak with Father today."
“Hmm…” Lu Huai held her fingertip in his mouth, thought for a moment, and said, “Then I will go back to the Prime Minister’s residence with you tomorrow.”
"That's excellent!" Qin Xi's eyes lit up; this way, no one would gossip.
Lu Huai smiled and said, "So, shouldn't you reward me?"
Qin Xi blinked her bright eyes and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Only then did Lu Huai close his eyes in satisfaction.
"What's going on between my brother and Princess Shanlai?" Qin Xi suddenly remembered this and tilted his head to ask.
Several years had passed since then. Lu Huai frowned and pondered for a moment before speaking.
"I don't know how the two of them met. Anyway, my elder brother rarely stayed at the mansion, so I liked to follow him. Once, when he went out, I was bored and followed him. He was walking very fast and didn't even notice me. That's when I found out about this."
Qin Xi nodded.
Seeing her like this, Lu Huai snorted in dissatisfaction, "You've been staring at Shangguan Jingci all day and haven't looked at me much."
He was clearly jealous; his tone was sour, making Qin Qi want to laugh. Like petting a puppy, Qin Qi reached out and stroked his hair. "I just have some doubts."
