Chapter 541 New Year's Eve
Yun Qingqing nodded slightly and said no more.
She knew that the Dragon Fang was also due to Youya's own luck, and the thank-you gift she just mentioned was also related to this. However, since Youya had said this, she would no longer be polite.
Youya raised his hand again, and a tiny golden light appeared out of thin air on his palm:
"Zhiluo will be guarding the mountain for the next few days. She asked me to bring this to the Pavilion Master, saying it was a New Year's gift."
Yun Qingqing lightly touched the small ball of light with her fingertips, and the light suddenly floated towards her, disappeared between her eyebrows, and brought a feeling of warmth.
It is a blessing from the mountain god.
"..." Yun Qingqing's eyes moved slightly, and she curled her lips slightly, "She is thoughtful. Thank her for me."
Youya nodded, and his small body turned into a wisp of green smoke and left.
Yun Qingqing let out a breath slowly, collected herself and fell into deep thought.
Xiao Changheng watched everything in silence, and suddenly something came to his mind.
No wonder he always felt that the black dragon was inexplicably familiar. It turned out that it was transformed from the Northern Black Dragon.
The last time, several of them went to Yuebai Mountain together to resolve the crisis of the rat tribe. Although Youya did not reveal his dragon body at that time, the restrained aura on his body could not be suppressed. Xiao Changheng was naturally sensitive, and he noticed something when he saw the black dragon today.
Sure enough, it was Yun Qingqing’s work again.
He turned his head to look at Yun Qingqing, only to see her frowning and thinking about something without saying a word.
Xiao Changheng was silent for a moment, then spoke softly:
"Today, thanks to you, thank you."
Yun Qingqing came back to her senses, looked at him, and hesitated to speak.
Xiao Changheng rarely saw her so hesitant, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Yun Qingqing lowered her eyes for a moment and said:
"Are you going to the palace to attend the New Year's Eve family dinner?"
Xiao Changheng nodded.
"What happens next?" Yun Qingqing asked again.
Xiao Changheng paused and reacted:
"The banquet will end in the evening, and then everyone will return home to celebrate the New Year... Is there anything you need?"
Yun Qingqing raised her eyes to look at him and pursed her lips:
"Well... I can't stay up with you tonight."
Xiao Changheng was stunned for a moment.
"...I'm sorry." Yun Qingqing's voice lacked confidence.
She believed that since they had promised to be husband and wife for life, there were some things that they should do well. For an important event like staying up on New Year's Eve, it was customary for everyone in each mansion to gather together and have fun, and they would not disperse until after midnight.
As a princess, she had to leave tonight, so she couldn't help feeling guilty for saying this.
Xiao Changheng looked at her deeply for a while, with no joy or anger on his face.
He then lowered his eyes and asked softly:
"Is there something that must be done?"
Yun Qingqing nodded and coughed lightly to try to make amends:
"Well...or else, I can ask Qing Jue to pretend to be me, so as to avoid suspicion if the news gets out."
Xiao Changheng narrowed his eyes slightly and pondered in silence.
Yun Qingqing waited for a while but saw no response from him, and her heart tightened a little. She knew that as the Regent Princess, she had gone a little too far, but the problem she had to deal with right now was not small, so there was really nothing she could do about it.
She touched her nose and continued:
"I owe you this time. You can ask for anything you want."
Xiao Changheng raised his eyes and looked at her:
"Any request?"
Yun Qingqing blinked and nodded:
"As long as it's within my ability, it's fine."
Xiao Changheng raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke decisively:
"Okay, then take me with you when you go at night."
Yun Qingqing was stunned:
"……ah?"
Xiao Changheng looked straight at her:
"Why, didn't you say you could do anything you asked for? Taking me with you is not a big deal, you can definitely do it, right?"
"..." Yun Qingqing finally reacted. This guy might have thought of this from the beginning and was deliberately waiting for her to make a request.
An idea flashed through her mind, she rubbed her brows, and slowly let out a breath:
"...Alright, there's no harm in your participation in this matter, so let's just leave it at that."
Seeing that she agreed so readily, Xiao Changheng's expression softened a little. He nodded, leaned back in his chair and stopped talking.
Yun Qingqing still had some doubts:
"Then we've all left the palace. What should we do about staying up all night? The servants..."
"Give them more reward money and pass the order to tell them to shut up." Xiao Changheng said in a calm voice.
Yun Qingqing: ...
She was worrying too much. It was not her business to worry about what was happening in Prince Shashen's mansion.
After a while, the carriage stopped outside the palace gate.
Xiao Changheng got out of the car first and held out a hand to Yun Qingqing:
"Qingqing, come here."
Yun Qingqing was slightly stunned.
Ever since this man had been to the Seven Stars Palace, he seemed to have figured something out. He no longer even pretended to be polite on a daily basis and became exceptionally cold and distant.
It had been a long time since she had seen him act so caring in front of others.
"...Qingqing?" Xiao Changheng looked at her and reminded her softly.
Yun Qingqing took a deep breath, put away the messy thoughts in her mind, put her hand on his, and got off the carriage.
The two of them walked into the palace hand in hand, looking like a loving couple.
Only Yun Qingqing herself was in a state of confusion. She secretly raised her hand to perform the Qingxin Jue, but then put it down again.
