It could be called a happy banquet, both hosts and guests satisfied.
It was getting dark. Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang walked the guests out of the mansion before they turned around and walked towards the South Yard. There were red lanterns hanging on both sides of the corridor. The light was soft and somewhat festive. Qin Yi and Hua'er had gone back to the South Yard to prepare the toiletries. Only Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan walked side by side in the corridor. Yun Shang kept looking at Luo Qingyan along the way, which made Luo Qingyan couldn't help but laugh. He held Yun Shang's hand and asked, "Is there something on my face that attracted your attention?"
Yun Shang smiled, which looked more tender and beautiful in the dim yellow light of the lanterns. "I just suddenly feel that my husband is the smartest, wisest and most handsome man in the world, and also the one I love most."
Luo Qingyan's eyes lit up with joy. He turned to Yun Shang and asked, "What's that you say?" Say it again?"
A hint of slyness flashed through Yun Shang's eyes. She chuckled and looked up at the red lantern hanging along the corridor. Pretending to be confused, she asked, "My husband the smartest and wisest?"
Luo Qingyan shook his head, "No, the next one."
Yun Shang held back her laughter, looked at Luo Qingyan seriously and asked tentatively, "Well... my husband is the most handsome man?"
Luo Qingyan frowned. He knew that Yun Shang was making fun of her on purpose, so he held Yun Shang's shoulders with both hands and forced her to look at him. He said word by word, "you said you loved me the most. Say it again."
Yun Shang's lips curled up
but her.
Maybe, this is way the saying goes that the husband and wife are one body. When the thought flashed through Yun Shang's mind, she couldn't help but be stunned. She lowered her head and slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
"By the way, I heard that Xia Huanyu met Xia Houjing in private after the morning court yesterday. Xia Houjing had set out with the first batch of relief materials last night. Do you want me to send someone to make some trouble for him?" Ning Qian added, with a hint of interest in her eyes.
Hearing this, Yun Shang kept silent for a while and shook her head with a smile. "It's not necessary. As it was His Highness who recommended Xia Houjing to this trip, we'd better not get involved in it. If we are caught by others, they might think that Xia Houjing's trip is a trap set up by His Highness to get rid of him. Xia Houjing won't be able to complete the task smoothly this time, but the one who will set up a trap for him is not us."
"Not us?" Ning Qian's eyes flashed with confusion, "Then who is it? Does Xia Houjing have other opponents besides us?"
