"Your Majesty, I have just witnessed Princess Xilin's skills and I believe that only General Yi in the entire Great Xi can keep her in check."
Xiao Qingyin replied.
"Princess Xilin also has feelings for General Yi. This humble woman is willing to abdicate for the sake of diplomatic relations between our two countries..."
Before she could finish speaking, a long, slender hand suddenly reached out, grabbed her around the waist, and carried her up to the roof of the Chaotian Palace.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent matter at the Marquis's residence. Please forgive my rudeness."
Yi Shuihan left with those words and flew away from the palace with Xiao Qingyin in his arms.
The courtiers: "..."
Are you two here to be funny?
Emperor Chengtai's face darkened as he looked in the direction Yi Shuihan had left.
...
After taking Xiao Qingyin out of the palace, Yi Shuihan just wanted to find a secluded place to have a good talk with her, so he rode out of the city and went to Yichun Garden.
Yichun Garden was the venue for the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Now, only servants are there cleaning and sweeping, making it very empty.
After Yi Shuihan rode his horse into the garden, he stopped by Mingyue Lake and carried Xiao Qingyin down.
As soon as Xiao Qingyin landed, she broke free from his hand and walked along the lakeside without saying a word.
Yi Shuihan caught up and apologized: "Yinyin, it was my fault. I shouldn't have kept it from you. You can hit me or scold me, I will never fight back."
Xiao Qingyin sneered: "I don't want to hit you, I don't want to scold you, I just want to break off the engagement with you."
Yi Shuihan looked aggrieved.
"I'm yours now, how can you be so irresponsible?"
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
"When did you become mine?"
"You've seen me from head to toe, aren't I still yours?"
"According to you, you've been your wet nurse's woman for a long time. Go find your wet nurse; she was the first person to see you naked."
Yi Shuihan: "..."
"I didn't mean to hide it from you, I was just afraid you'd run away if you found out the truth."
"So now that I know the truth, I won't run away?"
Xiao Qingyin asked in return.
This guy is even more cunning than Bai Musheng.
She had thought he was just a simple big cat.
This isn't a big cat at all.
She's clearly a cunning fox spirit.
Yi Shuihan said pitifully, "When you run away, can you take me with you?"
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
"You're so heavy, I don't want to carry you."
"I can eat less."
"Eating less is not an option either."
Yi Shuihan fell silent and followed Xiao Qingyin quietly, like a big dog that had been rejected by its owner.
The Yichun Garden was covered in ice and snow. After walking for a while, Xiao Qingyin's hands became so cold that she couldn't help but breathe on them.
Yi Shuihan immediately stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and put it in his arms.
"That way you won't be cold."
He said ingratiatingly.
Xiao Qingyin remained silent.
"How am I supposed to walk like this?"
Yi Shuihan replied, "I can carry you."
Xiao Qingyin rolled her eyes at him: "You wish!"
He wanted to hug her even before she had calmed down.
However, this person's chest was indeed very warm.
However, as soon as this thought crossed her mind, she remembered that the reason she felt cold was entirely because this person had brought her here.
My frustration intensified.
Looking at the tower on the distant hill, she had a sudden thought and said to Yi Shuihan, "Go to that tower and shout three times, 'Yi Shuihan is the biggest fool in the world,' and I will forgive you."
Yi Shuihan: "..."
"Really?"
He seemed a little skeptical.
Xiao Qingyin nodded: "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."
Yi Shuihan then decided to fly over with her.
Xiao Qingyin refused: "It's too cold, I don't want to fly. You go by yourself, I'll wait for you here."
Yi Shuihan could only say, "Then be careful, and remember to call me if anything happens."
"Uh-huh."
Yi Shuihan then used his lightness skill to fly towards the tower.
When he reached the top floor of the tower and looked towards Bright Moon Lake, he was about to call out when he suddenly realized that the place where the two of them had just stood was empty, and he couldn't see Xiao Qingyin at all.
Looking up again, the white horse was galloping towards the entrance of Yichun Garden.
The woman sitting on horseback was none other than someone who had vowed to forgive him.
Yi Shuihan instantly understood.
A gentleman's word is as good as his bond; a woman's word, if believed, will bring her misfortune.
He sighed, jumped off the tower, caught up with the white horse, and followed it at a distance until Xiao Qingyin returned to the Yun residence. Only then did he change direction and head towards his own Marquis's mansion.
Princess Zhaoyang's men failed to meet Yi Shuihan, and she was so worried that she couldn't eat.
Upon seeing Yi Shuihan return, he immediately came forward to greet him: "Do you know about Qingyin going to the palace to break off the engagement?"
Yi Shuihan nodded: "Understood."
"You've already broken off your engagement?"
“No,” Yi Shuihan replied, “we will not break off the engagement.”
Princess Zhaoyang was stunned.
"But Qingyin said she has someone she likes..."
"The person she was talking about who she loved was me."
Princess Zhaoyang: "???"
She looked at Yi Shuihan with a puzzled expression: "Are you two having a fight?"
"I suppose so," Yi Shuihan sighed. "Where's the old man?"
"Your father is over at the greenhouse."
"Then I'll go first."
When Yi Shuihan entered the glass greenhouse, Marquis Yong'an was pruning the dead branches of a weeping crabapple tree that had lost all its leaves. This was Princess Zhaoyang's favorite potted plant.
Hearing footsteps, he turned his head to look, then turned back to continue with his work.
Yi Shuihan walked to his side and softly called out, "Father."
