Chapter 201 Reassurance (I)

Qi Heng was a little confused. The princess' name was Songtang, but after she came, she looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. She finally spoke, but she said something inexplicable.

Qi Heng asked directly, "Mother, what do you mean by saying this?"

Seeing Qi Heng's ignorant look, Princess Pingning was a little disappointed, so she simply spoke frankly, "Cao Shi is about the same age as you, and he hasn't married yet. He is upright and good-looking. Most importantly, the Queen Mother likes this nephew, and he is a great match for Minglan."

After saying all this in one breath, she continued to analyze, "Although the Cao family and our Qi family are both founding heroes, our Qi family is not prosperous. , but the Cao family has many descendants, and all the sons in the family are promising. In terms of reputation, our Qi family can't compare with the Cao family. "When

the princess said this, Qi Heng understood what she meant, and was a little amused, "Mother, what did you hear outside again?"

Princess Pingning remembered that Meng invited her to play cards again today. She was originally upset and didn't want to go out, but Duke Qi advised her to go out more, maybe she would be happier, so she thought about it and went.

But during the period, she only listened to them talking about these things, and she was upset and confused when she heard them. Every word she liked to hear was that Qi Heng and Minglan were not engaged on the surface, and now there was a person with a status and family background comparable to Qi Heng, and he was also interested in Minglan, but he was even closer, which made Princess Pingning feel very aggrieved. After playing for a while, he couldn't sit still and came back.

"Don't worry about what I heard, just tell me, have you not seen Minglan for a long time?" Princess Pingning asked anxiously.

"What are you talking about, mother? Can't we see her at the court? I am accompanying His Majesty, and I can see Minglan often." Qi Heng replied with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Princess Pingning became even more anxious after hearing this, "How can it be the same? That's official business. We can't say intimate words when we meet. I'm asking you, how long has it been since you last met in private?" Seeing

his mother's anxiety, Qi Heng stepped forward to support the princess's back, "The court has been busy these days, so where can we find the time to meet in private, but we have been exchanging letters. Don't worry, I know Minglan's feelings for me."

Princess Pingning saw that he was neither anxious nor slow, and she became a little angry, "You know you can't meet, but Minglan can meet Cao Shi from time to time in the palace. Now it's too late. "

Qi Heng paused as he was supporting the princess' back, and felt a little flustered. Princess Pingning felt relieved when she saw this, knowing that her words had worked, so she continued, "I also heard that Cao Shi praised Princess Huguo and praised her bravery on many occasions in public. If he really had feelings for Minglan, with his looks, character, family background and talent, Minglan would surely be tempted." These words were like a

heavy hammer, ringing the alarm bell in Qi Heng's heart. He began to think carefully about the recent correspondence with Minglan. He felt that Minglan had sent back fewer and fewer words, and a feeling of anxiety spread quietly.

He looked up at the sky outside the window, as if he had made up his mind, and said goodbye to Princess Pingning: "Mother, I have an urgent matter and need to go out." After saying that, he hurriedly left the study.

Seeing that Qi Heng finally showed an urgent look, the princess felt a little relieved and felt that her words were not in vain. She picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all.

However, Qi Heng had just stepped out of the door a few steps, and seemed to remember something, and turned back to his bedroom. He asked Buwei, "Buwei, where did you put the clothes that my mother made for me a few days ago? Find them quickly." Buwei

saw this and immediately went to look for them. Soon he brought the clothes to Qi Heng. Qi Heng quickly changed into the new clothes and carefully arranged his hair, striving to make every detail perfect. Even so, he still seemed a little unconfident and asked Buwei, "How is it? Is it okay?"

Buwei looked at his son's outfit, which looked like a handsome young man who walked out of a painting. He praised sincerely, "Young master is so handsome!"

Qi Heng was slightly relieved and said, "Then let's go."

Buwei followed, "Young master, where are we going?"

"Wait outside the palace gate!"

"Waiting for what?"

"Waiting for someone!" Buwei understood and hurried to follow.

Qi Heng and Buwei drove the carriage to the outside of the palace gate. As soon as they stopped the carriage, they saw Minglan coming out of the palace. Qi Heng hurriedly jumped off the carriage and rushed to greet Xiaotao, "Minglan!"

When Minglan saw Qi Heng, her eyes instantly lit up with surprise and she said with a smile, "Why haven't you gone home yet?"

After saying that, she saw that he was not wearing an official uniform, but a light blue robe. The robe swayed in the wind, making his posture look taller and more upright, like a flowing painting. He was truly a gentleman like jade! Minglan walked around him slowly, smiling, and praised sincerely, "Look at your appearance, just like a jade tree in the wind, extraordinary temperament, really a dragon among men, amazing."

After saying that, Minglan's eyes fell gently on Qi Heng, and the smile in her eyes was like the warmest sunshine in spring, which instantly filled Qi Heng's heart with happiness.

Qi Heng also looked at Minglan in front of him carefully, and saw that her eyes were slightly dark blue, so he knew that she was really too tired recently. The Queen Mother had few people around her, and many affairs were handed over to Minglan, so there was no time to talk about love.

He asked softly, "Have you been too busy these days? Can you still handle the Queen Mother's affairs?"

Minglan covered her mouth lightly and yawned slightly. There was a trace of fatigue in her eyes, but she still nodded and replied, "I can still handle it."

Qi Heng saw this and felt pity for her. He suggested gently, "Are you tired? Go to the carriage and take a rest."

Minglan was a little sleepy. She didn't get enough sleep these days. Although she felt She was sleepy, but still thinking of Qi Heng, so she couldn't help asking, "So you waited for me here today, is there something wrong?"

Qi Heng looked at Minglan tenderly and said, "I haven't had a good talk with you for a long time, so I thought of coming to see you."

Minglan heard this, and a warm current surged in her heart, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, "Then...you sit with me for a while." As she said that, she took the initiative to pull Qi Heng's hand, and they stepped into the carriage together. It was

the first time for Qi Heng to ride in the princess's carriage, so he was inevitably a little restrained. Just as he was thinking of finding some topics to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere, Minglan suddenly hugged him and whispered, "I missed you so much!" Then, Minglan buried her face in Qi Heng's arms.
