The Fifth Prince is not as harmless as he appears on the surface, but the death of the Fourth Prince is a cause for celebration. Qi Qi is not so confident in himself that he can interfere in the matter of the throne, but who can blame him when the Great Xia is about to fall? When that time comes, you brothers will have no chance to fight for it, and you may even have to run away together.
Qi Qi chuckled twice, prompting Huangfu Yi to pinch his cheek: "What are you laughing at? That's strange."
Qi Qi said, "Yiyi, tell me, if you weren't a prince, what would you want to do in this life?"
Huangfu Yi: ...What kind of address is that...?
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's be carefree knights-errant, traveling all over the world. If you don't like traveling around, we can find a quiet place to live."
Qi Qi: "You still remember to give me a ride? That's great, I like you so much~"
Huangfu Yi looked down at the little devil who was smiling so sweetly; it was too much, so sweet it was bubbly.
How can someone be like this? They're so lovable, and their bold words and actions are so outrageous they make people's heads spin.
So Huangfu Yi couldn't help but laugh and couldn't resist grabbing Qi Qi's mouth and pressing it against his lips.
That's how people in love are. When they see each other, they can't help but want to be close to each other, touching mouths, noses, eyes, and ears. They wish they could melt into each other's entire bodies and become inseparable, showing off their love forever.
...
When Gu Siyan returned to his bedroom, he keenly sensed something was amiss.
His intuition has always been very accurate.
"Qi Qi?"
"Qi Qi?"
"I'm here! I'm here!"
Voices came from behind the screen. Gu Siyan went into the inner room and saw a small bundle tucked up in the blanket: "Are you asleep?"
"No, I'm getting sleepy."
Gu Siyan apologized, "Then I'll go out first. You should get some sleep."
Qi Qi buried his face and mouth in the quilt and said, "Master, it's getting late, you should rest too."
Although Gu Siyan had drunk some wine today, he wasn't that sleepy. He had wanted to talk to him a bit more, but after hearing what he said, he could only say goodnight and leave the inner room.
Lying on the small couch, separated by a wall, he fell asleep listening to the breathing of the other person inside.
...
The next day, they had breakfast together. Gu Siyan's eyes lingered on Qi Qi's lips and face for a moment, and he thought to himself that it was strange.
Why did Laibao's mouth swell up a bit when there was no dogwood in the breakfast?
Did you sleep well last night?
Qi Qi ate one small steamed bun after another: "It's fine, it's fine."
So delicious! There's a big river right next to Sifang City, so the fish and shrimp are all fresh. In summer, the tender bamboo shoots from the mountains and river shrimp are used to make bamboo shoot and shrimp dumplings and shepherd's purse and fresh meat fillings. They're so fresh they'll make your eyebrows fall off.
Qi Qi said, "The cook in the City Lord's Mansion is really something else. Master, if you conquer this place in the future, you can take the cook with you and have him cook for you every day, no, he can cook for you in rotation."
Gu Siyan was both amused and exasperated. How could Bi Laibao have such a strong appetite than him? Shouldn't she just be tired of eating? "Are you that hungry?"
Since arriving at the city lord's mansion, he has been eating three meals a day without missing a single one, and he has never lacked snacks or treats. People probably think that he never lets him eat his fill at home.
Qi Qi really wanted him to ask his conscience about the quality of his employees' meals, but considering that he himself didn't eat very well, he didn't dare to say: "Food is the most important thing for people. In this world, only love and good food should not be taken for granted. Cherishing food is everyone's responsibility."
After rambling on, Gu Siyan was convinced: "I'm going out with Lord Wu this afternoon and I might not be back tonight. I'm worried about you staying in the manor by yourself. After I leave, go back to the restaurant for the night and tell them you're going to talk to the staff at home."
Qi Qi patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem!"
Gu Siyan smiled and suddenly reached out to touch Qi Qi's head. This time, Qi Qi didn't lower his head. Upon seeing this action, he subconsciously turned his head to the side. Gu Siyan's hand was left in mid-air, and both of them were stunned.
"I'll go find Lord Wu to discuss some matters first."
Qi Qi raised his hand in a gesture of farewell and said, "Oh, go ahead."
After Gu Siyan left, the old lady also went out to memorize the route map. Qi Qi pondered for a while, circled around the door, and successfully found the characteristics of the house that Huangfu Yi had mentioned. Looking around and seeing no one, he picked up a stone and threw it hard at the roof. He threw two stones and no one saw anyone, then strolled back into the house.
Qi Qi thought to himself, "What a great opportunity! The boss is out on business, isn't this the perfect time to make a run for it?"
But since I have no money and no connections, and it's difficult for me to run around on my own, I still need to find a partner to help me.
Gu Siyan didn't come back for lunch. Qi Qi and the old lady ate their meal. After Gu Siyan left, Qi Qi wandered out again. This time, he got a little closer and threw two more stones, but no one was there. Could they have gone out together?
Qi Qi suddenly realized something. If Huangfu Yi and City Lord Wu went out together, why didn't he tell him? That bastard!
Qi Qi was backing away, lost in thought, when unexpectedly he stumbled into someone's arms. His arm was grabbed, and someone playfully held him by the waist, giving him a seductive sniff near his ear.
"My beauty, weren't you the one who smashed my roof this morning? What's wrong, your master's not here, and you're missing a man?"
Did you smash it, or smash the wrong thing? ...
Qi Qi got goosebumps. He stomped hard on the man's foot, struggled free from his embrace, and looked up. Wow, where did this weirdo come from...?
Judging by appearances is not the mark of a good robot. Qi Qi forced herself to remain calm and said, "Sir, I was just acting impulsively and did not realize I had offended you. I am truly sorry."
The man was fat with a big head and ears, and a thick body. He wore a royal blue brocade robe that didn't fit him well and was too tight. In particular, he was wearing a lot of gold and silver ornaments, which made him look even more out of place.
Qi Qi's eyes hurt.
