Chapter 616: Caught while running away, food temptation

Feng Qingyan tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Thinking of Jun Moqing's unfathomable martial arts and lightness skills, he now insisted that she was his wife. What if he pestered her and refused to let go?

She suddenly sat up and said, "Why not leave now while it's still dark and windy to avoid trouble in the future?"

After making the decision, Feng Qingyan lifted the quilt and began to put on her clothes, "Qingrong, get up."

Qingrong was sleeping in the outer room. She was also a martial artist, so she woke up when Feng Qingyan got up. When she heard her master's voice, she immediately got up from the bed and started to get dressed.

"Master, what are you going to do so late?"

Feng Qingyan said without even looking up: "Let's leave here first."

Qingrong didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. She put on her clothes and started packing her luggage.

We had not been in the capital for long, so naturally we did not have much luggage, so we packed everything up quickly.

Qingrong carried the gift on his back, raised his head and looked at Feng Qingyan, "Master, everything is ready."

Feng Qingyan nodded, "Let's go now."

After going downstairs to settle the bill, Feng Qingyan walked out of the inn and looked at the street. It was already past midnight and there were not many people on the street.

Not finding anyone suspicious, she continued walking forward.

Jun Moqing held a teacup in his hand and looked down at the two people walking out of the inn. His sight fell on the woman in front of him. She was still wearing a tight-sleeved dress in red and black, unlike before when she always liked to wear red.

He put down the teacup and calmly jumped down from the roof, light and graceful.

"Master, where are we going now?" Qingrong asked as he walked.

"Let's move to another inn."

As Feng Qingyan finished her words, a plain figure descended from the sky. The person had a slender figure, and picturesque eyes and eyebrows, as if he had walked out of a painting. He was so handsome that it seemed a little unreal.

"Why are you here?"

Jun Moqing walked slowly in front of her and said quietly, "I've always been here."

Feng Qingyan was petrified on the spot. It turned out that Jun Moqing had been guarding the inn all along? How did he know that she wanted to run away in the middle of the night?

She smiled awkwardly, "I just couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."

Even I don't believe what I said, so Jun Moqing probably won't believe it either...

Jun Moqing said: "It's late at night and the dew is heavy, so it's easy to catch a cold."

Feng Qingyan was stunned for a moment. Why was this answer different from what she expected?

"What about you? You've been squatting on the roof the whole time. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Jun Moqing: "Not afraid."

Feng Qingyan: “…”

Finally, Feng Qingyan returned to the inn obediently. When she passed by the counter, the innkeeper couldn't help but ask, "Sir, why are you back again?"

"Yeah." Feng Qingyan nodded awkwardly, turned around and went upstairs.

Jun Moqing also followed him up to the second floor.

He walked helplessly to the reception room in front of the counter.

Arriving at the door of the guest room, Feng Qingyan pushed it open. Because she had just checked out, no one came to clean the room.

She looked at Jun Moqing standing at the door, with no intention of leaving, "Are you planning to continue squatting on the roof?"

Jun Moqing said: "If you let me in, I don't mind."

Feng Qingyan: "..."Is he afraid that I will run away? "

"It's late at night and the dew is heavy. You should go back."

After Feng Qingyan finished speaking, she closed the door and sighed helplessly, thinking that she might not be able to leave tonight.

If Jun Moqing stayed at the inn all the time, it would be difficult for her to leave after she finished her work.

At four o'clock in the morning, Feng Qingyan opened her eyes and looked out the window. "He wouldn't really be squatting on the roof all the time, right?"

After thinking it over, Feng Qingyan got up from bed, threw off the quilt, picked up the shawl and put it on, then opened the window, took a deep breath and jumped out of the window, using her toes to gain leverage on the wall to jump up.

The sturdy figure climbed onto the roof nimbly in the dark night.

She didn't go directly to the roof. If Jun Moqing was really squatting on the roof guarding, it would be embarrassing if he was discovered.

After she grabbed the eaves with both hands, she carefully stretched her head out to look at the roof. As soon as she raised her head, she saw a piece of plain clothes dancing in the wind.

Further up, there was the slender figure of Jun Moqing, sitting there leisurely, with his long legs slightly bent, holding a crystal clear teacup in his hand, drinking tea slowly and leisurely.

Feng Qingyan widened her eyes in disbelief. It was obvious that she was guarding here because she was afraid that she would run away.

Fortunately, we didn't go directly to the roof, otherwise we would have just stared at each other, which was extremely awkward.

Feng Qingyan was afraid of being discovered by Jun Moqing, so she glanced at him twice and then retracted her head.

Just when Feng Qingyan shrank back, Jun Moqing looked over. In fact, he had noticed Feng Qingyan when she got up.

He stared at Feng Qingyan's place, raised the teacup in his hand and took a few sips of tea.

Feng Qingyan was a little worried. She looked at a very cold person, but why was he so persistent? It was so difficult for him to leave quietly.

After thinking for a while, she quietly poked her dark head out, revealing a pair of eyes brighter than the stars, and stared at the blue-white figure.

Although she did not stay long in the palace today, she found out during a meal that Jun Moqing only had a wife and not even a concubine.

His wife has been missing until now, and he has neither remarried nor taken a concubine, which means he has been alone in his empty house for more than 20 years.

There are not many handsome and powerful men who are so loyal.

Feng Qingyan sighed. She didn't catch up with the good man. When she was about to go back after sighing, a cold voice came over, "Why don't you watch it openly?"

Feng Qingyan paused in her action. She was so cautious, yet she was discovered?

As expected, his martial arts skills are amazing and his hearing is also very sensitive.

Feng Qingyan snorted, loosened her hands, turned over and jumped into the window, then closed the window carefully.

As long as she doesn't admit it, there won't be any embarrassment of peeping!

Jun Moqing heard her go back to the guest room, but didn't say anything. He retracted his gaze to the teacup in his hand, then raised his head to look at the bright moon above his head. The full moon on the 15th of the lunar calendar was big and round.

The next morning

Feng Qingyan went to bed late last night and woke up later than usual. She opened the door and looked up to see Jun Moqing standing at the door. He looked as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Why are you still here? Don't you need to sleep?" Her eyes were fixed on Jun Moqing. Seeing that he had not slept all night, he did not look sleepy at all, and did not even have dark circles under his eyes.

If I hadn't seen him sitting on the roof with my own eyes at four o'clock in the morning, I would not have believed that he looked so energetic after not sleeping all night.

Jun Moqing said: "Let's have breakfast together."

Feng Qingyan then realized that he was holding breakfast in his hands and had been waiting here for an unknown period of time.

She was indeed hungry now, and breakfast was the most important thing to do.

On the round table, there were two bowls of porridge, three side dishes, and three kinds of breakfast.

Feng Qingyan was really hungry, so she picked up the bowl and chopsticks, took a mouthful of porridge, picked up the breakfast and put it into her mouth to eat.

Jun Moqing held the chopsticks but looked at Feng Qingyan. The way she ate was no different from before.

"Let's go to the East Palace for breakfast tomorrow. Xiaojiu will make a lot of delicious breakfasts. The taste is also very good. You can't buy it outside."

Feng Qingyan was a little surprised, "Really? Your daughter is the Crown Princess, and she can actually cook?"

Jun Moqing nodded, "Xiaojiu is very sensible and smart."

Feng Qingyan asked again: "What kind of breakfast will she make? You can't buy it outside?"

"Dough sticks, glutinous rice cakes, stuffed cakes, dumplings..." Jun Moqing slowly said a long list of meal names.

Feng Qingyan licked her lips after hearing these names. They were all names she had never heard of before, and she wanted to try them.

Jun Moqing added: "Let's go to the East Palace tonight and ask Xiaojiu to make you pickled fish and steamed pork with rice flour."

Feng Qingyan was somewhat tempted, but when she thought about the fact that she was not Jun Moqing's wife, she didn't feel comfortable going there to eat and drink for free.

"But I'm not your wife, it's not good to eat and drink for free, right?"

Jun Moqing said firmly: "I said yes."

Feng Qingyan shrugged helplessly, "Forget it, think whatever you want."

After saying that, he continued to eat the meat buns in the bowl.

Jun Moqing knew that she couldn't accept it for the time being. Now it was breakfast time and eating was the most important thing, so he stopped explaining and lowered his head to drink a mouthful of porridge.

Feng Qingyan suddenly raised her head and looked at Jun Moqing, "If your wife looks older than you, do you mind?"

Jun Moqing paused while drinking his porridge and asked, "Why do you mind?"

Feng Qingyan said, "You look like you're not even thirty years old, and you're with a woman who's almost forty. You don't look like a couple at all. In another ten years, if your appearance remains the same and your wife's looks fade, won't you feel anything?"

Jun Moqing nodded thoughtfully, "Your worries are unnecessary. Everyone will grow old one day. Even if your face fades, you are still you, and that's enough."

Feng Qingyan immediately retorted: "I didn't say me, I'm very confident, I was talking about your wife."

Jun Moqing said gently: "Well, this is you."

Feng Qingyan: “…”

After breakfast, Jun Moqing asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"I have to go do something, you can't follow me." Feng Qingyan deliberately emphasized the last sentence.

Jun Moqing didn't say anything more after hearing this, "Okay, I'll pick you up to have dinner at the East Palace tonight."

Feng Qingyan nodded hesitantly. The temptation of delicious food was quite strong.

After Jun Moqing left, Qingrong couldn't help but sigh: "Master, I have never seen such a devoted person who doesn't care about appearance. He is a rare lover in the world."

Feng Qingyan nodded in agreement, "It is indeed very rare, but it is a pity that she is already taken."

East Palace

Feng Wuyou picked out some nice jewelry from the storeroom and put them in a dressing box as Chunxi's dowry.

Chunxi was busy for two days and then returned to the Hehuan Palace. As the wedding date was approaching, she had just measured the size of her wedding dress and was in a hurry to make it.

Feng Qingyan saw Chunxi and asked with a smile, "Chunxi, why are you back? How is your wedding dress?"

Chunxi said with a smile: "Thanks to the master, the clothing bureau is rushing to make it, and it can be made before the wedding date."

"That's good." Feng Wuyou patted the dressing table and said, "Take a look, this is the dowry I chose for you, do you like it?"

Chunxi looked at the dressing box on the table when she heard it. The most desired dowry for a girl when she gets married is a dressing box. She took two steps forward and looked at the exquisite dressing box. The dark red color was festive yet not tacky. The patterns on it were also very delicate. It was not an ordinary dressing box.

She opened the dressing box and found a pair of pink pearl flowers, two pairs of gold earrings, a pair of ruby ​​hairpins, a pair of gold swings, and a pair of gold bracelets.

Chunxi looked up at Feng Wuyou in disbelief, "Master, are these all my dowries?"

Feng Wuyou said: "Of course, you are the personal maid of the Crown Princess, you can't marry in a shabby way."

Chunxi was flattered and said, "This is too much."

Feng Wuyou prepared more than just this dowry for Chunxi, including good farmland and a shop, five hundred taels of silver, and ten taels of gold.

Even the first-class ladies-in-waiting in the palace don't have that much dowry.

Feng Wuyou comforted her, "The dowry is for your own use. When you get married and have children, you will need to take care of everything in the mansion. This will also give you confidence."

"Master, you treat me so well. I never dared to dream of doing such things." Chunxi started to cry as she spoke.

In ancient times, a woman’s dowry was a symbol of her confidence, and it was also the red makeup that every woman wanted.

Feng Wuyou gave Chunxi what she had never dared to think about in her life.

Feng Wuyou patted Chunxi on the shoulder and said, "This shows that you have good vision. Back then, I was just a small servant, demoted and confined, but you followed me all the time without any effort. As the saying goes, we share happiness and hardships. Now that we have experienced all the hardships, of course, it is time to enjoy happiness."

Upon hearing this, Chunxi couldn't help but think of the days when Feng Wuyou was under house arrest. The reason she was willing to follow him was because Feng Wuyou was a very nice person and treated her well.

It doesn’t matter whether the master is rich or not, what matters is that he is a good person.

Otherwise, no matter how rich you are, you may die without knowing how you died.

Chunxi wiped away her tears and said, "Master is a good person. I am enjoying the happiness of following you."

Feng Wuyou said, "Okay, getting married is a big deal, just focus on your own things during this time. I have Xiao Guizi and the others here, so we have enough manpower."

Chunxi then smiled and said, "Master, I don't have much to do. You prepared the dowry, and Qin Xiao is preparing the rest. I will still serve you."

Feng Wuyou nodded, "You decide for yourself."

At this time, Tao Tao ran over, grabbed Feng Wuyou's hand, and asked, "Mother, where is Grandpa?"

Feng Wuyou then thought of her father. Xiao Jinyan had been making trouble until midnight last night, and she slept until noon.

"Isn't Grandpa in the East Palace?"

Taotao shook her head, "I looked everywhere but didn't see him. Grandpa promised me that he would teach me martial arts today."

Feng Wuyou thought about it and felt that his father must have stayed with his mother last night and did not come back.

"Don't worry, Taotao. Grandpa will do what he promised. Your grandpa should be with grandma and will be back soon."

Taotao nodded sensibly, "Then I'll wait for Grandpa."

Feng Wuyou was just about to praise her son for being sensible when she saw her father walk in. She smiled and called out, "Dad."

Taotao turned around and saw her grandpa, and flew over happily, "Grandpa."

Jun Moqing took Taotao and walked in front of Feng Wuyou.

Feng Wuyou glanced behind Jun Moqing a few times, but didn't see Feng Qingyan. He asked in confusion, "Dad, where is Mom?"

Jun Moqing said, "She has something to do. I will pick her up here for dinner."

Feng Wuyou smiled happily when he heard that. "Okay, my mother came unexpectedly last night and I didn't prepare well. I must show off my cooking skills tonight and let my mother taste my cooking skills."

Jun Moqing said: "Your mother's taste is similar to yours. Please prepare some pickled fish and steamed pork with rice flour."

Pickled fish and steamed pork with rice flour are Feng Wuyou’s favorites and also his best dishes.

"It's okay, don't worry, Dad."

Feng Wuyou then asked, "Dad, aren't you afraid that mother will run away during the day?"
