Chapter 570 Extra - Peaceful Times
Chen Ci gritted his teeth, resisting the surging emotions within him: "Let's talk this over. Can you wait a little longer? Ashi is getting married soon. I'll let you leave after her wedding."
Seeing Shu Tong hesitate, Chen Ci added, "You're friends with her, right? Don't you want to see her happy?"
Shu Tong wanted to leave, but she was afraid that the longer she stayed, the deeper she would fall, and the more painful it would be to break free.
"Shu Tong, I'm begging you." Chen Ci said, "I mean what I say. After A Shi's wedding, I will definitely give you your freedom and ten thousand taels of gold."
Upon hearing "ten thousand taels of gold," Shu Tong suddenly laughed: "You really know me."
Chen Ci just looked at her pleadingly: "Is it okay?"
Shu Tong nodded: "Okay."
Let's hold on a little longer.
Take a good look at this cute and handsome man.
After all, we won't see it for the rest of our lives.
Chen Ci did not stay at Wutong Residence for long. Soon after, Tang Ming came to report that an official from the palace had come to discuss with the Crown Prince the relevant ceremonial matters concerning the princess's wedding.
Before leaving, Chen Ci asked, "Is there any wish you still want to fulfill? I can accompany you to fulfill it."
Shu Tong thought for a moment and smiled: "Yes, in the highest place in the capital, we can watch a spectacular fireworks display under the moonlight."
This is probably the most romantic thing.
If there's still someone by my side.
Chen Ci nodded solemnly: "Okay, I've got it."
Shu Tong watched Chen Ci's tall and elegant figure walk past the corridor in front of her, and she tried her best to picture his appearance in her mind.
With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, distinct features, and an outstanding temperament.
Suddenly she felt a little discouraged.
Although there are many men with two legs in this world, someone like him is probably one of a kind.
Does this mean she'll have to venture out into the world all by herself in the future?
That's fine.
Love always hurts.
It's better to be carefree and unrestrained, doing whatever you please.
...
Since Chen Shi's wedding was put on the agenda, everyone has been extremely busy, and Chen Ci and Ye Qingning have both shouldered a lot of burdens.
Hearing that Shu Tong was in a bad mood, Ye Qingning came to Wutong Residence early that morning after having breakfast. She saw Shu Tong leaning on the railing, teasing the fish in the lotus pond.
He was indeed languid and listless, looking rather listless.
Haitang saw Ye Qingning first and quickly bowed, saying, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess."
No need for formalities.
As Ye Qingning spoke, she walked up to Shu Tong. When Shu Tong realized what was happening and was about to bow, Ye Qingning stopped her, saying, "No need for formalities, we're family."
Shu Tong suddenly remembered that Chen Ci had also told her the words "don't be bothered by trifles" that day.
See? He and the Crown Princess are definitely the best match.
"What brings you here, sister?"
"My brother and Princess Shuyun are getting married soon, and I want to express my feelings no matter how you look at it. I happen to have some free time today, so I thought I'd ask you to come with me to pick out a gift."
Ye Qingning asked her with a smile, "I wonder if my sister has time to come with me?"
“Of course,” Shu Tong said. “Anyway, I’m bored, and I also need to give Ashi a gift.”
"Okay, I'll wait here while you change your clothes and we go out."
"good."
Shu Tong handed the fish food to Ye Qingning and took Haitang to change her clothes.
Ye Qingning then casually tossed the fish food in her hand into the pond, looking at the carp swimming around, feeling a little regretful.
"I forgot to bring Abao along; it would definitely love watching fish."
Ye Qingning didn't know when it started, but she really began to think that Abao was a cat.
She had some doubts: if the two of them returned to Qing City, would Lin Feiyan develop a liking for dried fish?
Thinking this, she chuckled again.
Xiao Die hurried over: "What is Your Highness laughing at?"
"I think Abao probably likes watching fish."
"No, that's not true," Xiaodie said. "Recently, Abao has been acting strangely. He seems preoccupied all the time, and he doesn't even like eating dried fish anymore."
"Is that so?"
Ye Qingning has been busy preparing for Ye Zhiyuan's wedding recently, so in order not to worry Abao, she lets it stay at home.
Unexpectedly, something went wrong.
Ye Qingning thought that Lin Feiyan probably just wanted to be with her.
"Then go and bring Abao over, I'll take him with me to the street."
"Okay." Xiaodie curtsied and left.
...
After getting ready, Ye Qingning carried Abao and Shutong to the carriage at the door.
Ever since she saw A Bao in the Imperial Garden and found the prescription, Shu Tong has been unable to look A Bao in the eye.
Shu Tong always felt that there was a whirlpool hidden in his blue eyes, and even though he was lying very docilely next to Ye Qingning, he still felt that it was very mysterious.
The carriage traveled smoothly forward, and the curtains on both sides of the carriage, which were meant to keep out mosquitoes, were blown by the wind. Abao watched the curtains flutter and move, and suddenly its eyes narrowed.
However, Shu Tong and Ye Qingning, who were chatting, did not notice at all, and naturally did not know that a figure in black had just flashed across the wall next to the carriage.
...
The carriage moved exceptionally slowly through the bustling city. With the entire city now open to the public, people who had been cooped up for so long were out strolling, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
Ye Qingning then stopped the carriage: "Shu Liangyuan and I will get out and walk. You lead the carriage back to the parking lot at the entrance. We'll come find you there after we're done shopping."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The coachman responded and moved a stool to help Ye Qingning and Shu Tong get off the carriage.
Xiaodie was carrying a basket, and Abao jumped in on his own initiative, glancing around warily.
