Chapter 48 Is he worried about his own waist?
Yun Qingshi: ...
Yun Qingshi was speechless, but he still nodded his head and said, "I am worried."
But what he is worried about is his own waist.
Yun Qingshi continued, "Your Highness, have you remembered what I said?"
His Royal Highness Prince Yi nodded slightly: "I understand."
Perhaps because of the successive failures of previous attempts, Yun Qingshi didn't have much hope this time.
He nodded slightly again, and then was forced to accept another long kiss.
By now, Yun Qingshi has become very accustomed to this.
After the kiss, he leaned against the carriage calmly to adjust his breathing.
But when he looked up and saw the white veil on Xiao Jiwu's eyes, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you wearing this?"
This white gauze looks very special. The material is extremely thin and cool to the touch, but it does not completely block vision.
But no matter what, it's a hindrance to wear. This is also the first time Yun Qingshi has seen Xiao Jiwu wearing this.
If it is to prevent the glare of the sun, it is already evening.
So Yun Qingshi really didn’t understand.
Hearing this, Xiao Jiwu quickly responded without any emotion: "Because my father doesn't want to see my eyes."
Yun Qingshi was stunned and speechless when he heard this, and he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
After a while, he spoke again: "...I'm sorry."
He didn't know how Xiao Jiwu felt, but he felt uncomfortable after hearing such words, so he felt so guilty.
Prince Xiao stared at Yun Qingshi in silence for a long time before speaking: "Don't feel guilty. This prince doesn't care about this."
After hearing this, Yun Qingshi remained silent and did not respond.
He did not agree with Xiao Jiwu's words.
Perhaps people will become numb after hearing those heartbreaking words too many times, because people have the ability to protect themselves, but the hurt will not disappear.
Hurt is hurt after all, and no one really doesn't care.
If he really didn't care, how could there be the tyrant Xiao later?
But Yun Qingshi had no right to discuss these with Xiao Jiwu...
————
About two minutes later, the carriage stopped outside the palace gate.
Prince Xiao was the first to get off the carriage.
There are rules in the palace that carriages are not allowed to actually enter the palace.
So after Xiao Jiwu got off the car, he changed to a sedan chair and was carried by eight people.
As for Yun Qingshi, he could only follow Xiao Jiwu's sedan chair and walk.
Yun Qingshi didn't care about it. He just looked at the red walls and green tiles here with some curiosity, and followed the sedan chair through one door after another.
After more than a moment, the sedan chair also stopped.
This is the place.
Yun Qingshi looked curiously at the grand and solemn palace in front of him, waiting for Xiao Jiwu to come down to the ground.
After Xiao Jiwu landed and stood up, the eunuchs who were responsible for carrying the sedan chair quickly went to wait somewhere else.
Yun Qingshi continued to follow Xiao Jiwu towards Yongming Palace.
When they were still some distance away from the main hall, Xiao Jiwu stopped and said, "Wait here, don't run around."
Following Yun Qingshi who had stopped: ...
He said this as if he would dare to run around without Xiao Jiwu's warning. Of course he knew that this place could not be moved around casually.
Yun Qingshi nodded helplessly: "I understand."
After hearing this, Xiao Jiwu raised his feet again and walked towards the palace in front.
In Yongming Hall, most people have already arrived.
The eunuch quickly led Xiao Jiwu to a seat.
The fourth prince, Xiao Lixuan, was sitting next to Xiao Jiwu. When he saw Xiao Jiwu coming, he turned his eyes away coldly, with disgust almost written on his face.
Xiao Jiwu was too lazy to look at others and just closed his eyes quietly to rest.
Until the current emperor appeared with the queen.
All the princes, kings, princesses and concubines stood up and saluted. Xiao Jiwu also followed suit, and then sat down at the emperor's signal.
The emperor was now in his prime. After looking around the hall, his gaze quickly settled on Xiao Jiwu. He then smiled and spoke with a kind look:
"Wu'er has made great contributions to the country of Qi. Now that you have returned victorious, I have not yet had the chance to reward you. Your Highness, please tell me what you want, and I will satisfy you."
The Queen also smiled and agreed: "Your Majesty is right. If Wu'er has any reward you want, please tell us and let your father give it to you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiwu raised his eyes to look at the current emperor, his face showing no emotion. He quickly spoke, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Fighting for the Qi Kingdom is my duty, and I dare not take credit for it."
Emperor Xiao Ling'an nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and then pretended to be gentle and said, "Wu'er, you are too modest. Since you are unwilling to make any requests, I will reward you as you see fit."
Xiao Jiwu no longer refused, lowered his eyes and replied: "Thank you, father."
Then, with the emperor's order, the Mid-Autumn family dinner began.
The sound of stringed instruments rang out, and dozens of palace maids entered the hall and began to pour wine and serve food to everyone.
Even if Yun Qingshi didn't remind him, Xiao Jiwu was already on guard. He had no intention of picking up his chopsticks and was only pretending to drink the wine.
However, the sweet fragrance coming from the palace maid still made Xiao Jiwu frown...
————
At this time, outside the Yongming Palace, Yun Qingshi was staring at the moon in the sky in a daze.
What a big and round moon! It looks just like a mooncake.
Think about the last Mid-Autumn Festival, he was with his family, eating, drinking and watching the moon, it was so lively.
But now, in this strange world, he is the only one left alone.
It's really miserable.
Maybe I will be forced to sacrifice myself in a while.
Thinking about it only makes it worse.
Besides, he was really hungry.
It was dinner time, but he could only stand here as punishment.
There were a few other guards around, and Yun Qingshi guessed that they were brought by other princes.
The guards stood straight with a cold look, like emotionless killers.
Yun Qingshi stood there for a while. He was so hungry and irritable that he couldn't help but take two steps back and stood by the railing.
When he looked up, he could just see the Yongming Palace.
The hall was brightly lit, with singing and dancing going on. There was nothing unusual for the time being, so Yun Qingshi lowered his eyes again and continued to be in a daze.
As time passed, Yun Qingshi became bored to a certain extent.
In fact, his mood was not very calm either.
He was really worried about Xiao Jiwu.
Of course, he was not worried about whether Xiao Jiwu himself would be bullied or something, he was mainly worried that Xiao Jiwu was still drugged.
It's been almost two hours since he went in there. Why hasn't he come out yet?
In addition to being worried, Yun Qingshi couldn't help but look up at Yongming Palace again.
As luck would have it, he saw a eunuch helping a man out of the Yongming Palace.
Looking at the familiar figure of the other person and the white veil on his eyes, who else could it be but that dog Xiao Jiwu!
Yun Qingshi:.......
Yun Qingshi wanted to curse.
