Back in her courtyard, Feng Qinghuang found Rong Qi waiting for her.
When Rong Qi saw Jiao Jiao's appearance, he knew she had just been crying, and he felt extremely sorry for her. He had never seen Jiao Jiao cry before.
In the past, when Jiaojiao was unhappy, she would only be sad for a short while, but today she actually cried.
Rong Qi quickly went over, hugged her, and comforted her, "What's wrong? Today is Jiao Jiao's coming-of-age ceremony. Jiao Jiao should be happy."
Could it be because he delivered the betrothal gifts today? Since today is Feng Qinghuang's coming-of-age banquet, Rong Qi wouldn't be foolish enough to suspect that someone bullied her.
Feng Qinghuang buried her head in his chest and remained silent.
"Is it because I delivered the betrothal gifts today, and Prince Feng said something to you?" Rong Qi voiced his suspicions.
Feng Qinghuang nodded, then shook her head.
Noticing Jiao Jiao nod and then shake her head, Rong Qi smiled with pleasure.
Rong Qi's laughter caused his chest to vibrate. Feng Qinghuang felt Rong Qi's laughter, raised her small face to look at him: "What are you laughing at? I'm crying, and you're still laughing."
Rong Qi cupped her small face and looked at her with doting eyes: "I smiled because I was happy, and Jiao Jiao nodded because I delivered the betrothal gifts today and Prince Feng didn't say anything to you. She shook her head because Prince Feng is reluctant to let you get married so early, right?"
Feng Qinghuang nodded: "Hmm, how does Aqi know everything?"
Rong Qi patted her little head: "Silly Jiaojiao, isn't this just human nature? Which father would be willing to let his daughter get married? But a daughter will eventually get married, it's just a matter of time. The reason I sent the betrothal gifts today is to let everyone know that Jiaojiao belongs to me. No one is allowed to covet you, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back and will kill all those who dare to have designs on you."
"Jiaojiao, do you think I'm cruel? Besides, you look so beautiful today. I want to hide you away so that no one else can see you."
Feng Qinghuang shook her head: "Aqi is not cruel at all. If it were me, I would do the same. If anyone dares to take Aqi from me, I will have Xiaoxue bite her."
"Pfft, Jiaojiao is so cute. Okay, don't be sad anymore. Today is your coming-of-age ceremony, and there should be a family banquet tonight. Otherwise, I would have taken you out for a walk to cheer you up."
Feng Qinghuang nodded: "Then Aqi will stay with me a little longer."
The two of them sat in the courtyard, looking up at the sunset, chatting idly.
Perhaps because she had been crying, Feng Qinghuang fell asleep soon after. Once she was sound asleep, Rong Qi gently carried her into the room, helped her lie down, took off her shoes, covered her with a blanket, and then turned and left.
Reaching the door, he instructed Tinglan, "Your young lady is asleep. Let her sleep a little longer. We'll wake her up when it's time for dinner."
Tinglan nodded: "Take care, son-in-law."
Upon hearing this address, Rong Qi's thin lips curved into a beautiful smile.
"I will make things easier and do as few things as possible."
Rong Qi left after speaking, leaving Tinglan to guard the door.
Hmph, don't think he doesn't know why that kid Rong Yi has been acting so absent-minded lately. Nothing escapes his notice.
Tinglan, who was left at the door, was shocked when she heard her son-in-law's words. How did he know? She and Rongyi had always been very careful, and even the young lady hadn't noticed. How did he find out?
At the same time, Tinglan was also a little confused. Did the young master mean that he agreed to her being with Rongyi? Did that mean that as long as she got past the young lady's hurdle, she and Rongyi could be together openly?
She had been wondering whether her mistress and son-in-law would agree to her being with Rongyi, but now she was completely relieved.
Because she believed that the young lady would agree as well.
Feng Qinghuang slept for almost an hour before finally waking up. Upon seeing herself in bed, she knew what had happened.
Hearing the commotion, Tinglan quickly went inside.
"Miss, you're awake."
Feng Qinghuang rubbed her head: "Aqi is gone?"
Tinglan nodded: "After Miss fell asleep, the young master took you to your room and left."
Feng Qinghuang touched her stomach and asked, "What time is it now? I'm a little hungry."
Tinglan chuckled, "Miss, it's only the hour of You (5-7 PM) now, but dinner will be ready soon. Miss, why don't you have a few pastries to tide you over?"
"Okay, I want to eat peach blossom pastry."
Tinglan nodded: "Okay, Miss, wait a moment, I'll go get it right away."
......
After eating a few pastries, Feng Qinghuang lost her appetite. She wiped her hands and left the room with Tinglan.
Just as she stepped out of the room, Little Snow suddenly appeared, tugging at Feng Qinghuang's skirt and acting spoiled. Feng Qinghuang sighed helplessly, picked her up, and headed towards the dining hall. This little guy must have smelled something to be acting like this.
Otherwise, it doesn't go to the front much now, probably because it can't stand its mother's enthusiasm and its father's disdain.
