"Her voice was too soft, to the point where Gong Ming wasn't even able to clearly hear what she had said. What did you just say? "
Ling'er came back to reality and shook her head slightly, "It's nothing."
Seeing that he wasn't willing to say anything, Gong Ming naturally didn't ask any further. He patted Ling'er's shoulder, "Ling'er must be tired from coming back just now, and wanted you to rest just now. It's just that you forgot the time when we started chatting."
Ling'er wanted to shake her head and say that she was not tired, but when she raised her head, she suddenly thought that Gong Ming's real intention was to let her go out, so she did not dare to say much, "Then Your Highness please rest well, Ling'er is right next door, if there is anything you need, just let them know, Ling'er will be here anytime."
Gong Ming nodded, "Ling'er, you don't have to be this nervous either. Didn't you say earlier that there were no problems with me? Just rest well. "
Seeing her heart being rejected again and again, Ling'er felt a little wronged.
She nodded and left in silence.
Although Gong Ming felt that her reaction today was a little strange, he didn't think too much about who it was that he had fallen in love with.
As he paced back and forth in the room, he had the nagging feeling that something was missing today. It was only after walking for half a day that he finally came to a realization.
He was already used to Qian Li's company on a daily basis, and now that he couldn't see her, he felt that he wasn't used to it in his heart.
He smiled. He had never known that he would have such an emotional day.
"Li Nian, where did Qian Li go?"
"He went out right after he went to the door to pass the things to Miss Ling'er. I wonder where he went."
Gong Ming nodded, "Let's go out and find her, and see what she is doing."
Gong Ming nodded, then turned around and left. Gong Ming thought for a moment, then said, "It's good that you know what she's doing, there's no need to disturb her, and there's no need to call her back in a hurry."
Li Nian nodded, bowed to Gong Ming, and left.
She sensed that there was someone following him from behind, it was something that happened not long after Qian Li came out from breakfast, it had been a long time since she was followed, and it was not strange for her to do this, she did not know who they were, and did not take the initiative to force them to show themselves, since she did not do anything today, if they liked following her, then it would be fine.
However …
When the people following behind for two hours still did not show any reaction, Qian Li felt that it was strange.
Normally, she would leave when she noticed nothing wrong with him, but she didn't know that the person behind her seemed to be even more relaxed than she was.
Since she could not understand, she decided not to think about it anymore. Qian Li then went to find a place to eat lunch, her appetite had grown a lot, and when she came out today, she was angry at the start, but when she started to walk around seriously, she realised, it was actually a long time since she last went to the streets to have a good meal or something.
When she went back to visit, the scenery of her Chang'an City would change greatly, and her mood would also become completely different.
However, it was undeniable that even though this was the case, there was still a completely different feeling in his heart.
"Princess, why have you been wandering around like this today? You seem very relaxed."
In order to prevent herself from being too bored, Qian Li called for the Xiao Lan when she was on her way out. As for Li Ran, she had some things that needed her help with, so she had quietly left the Duke Palace.
"A lot of times, even after revisiting, your mood is still a little different. Xiao Lan, you can be considered as the person who grew up in this place, to be able to come here once again and still be an observer. How do you feel?"
There are a lot of things that I thought I would never forget, as if I had already forgotten them in my time, some things that I thought I would remember for the rest of my life, as if they were washed away along with me, some people that I hated or like a lot, now that I look back at them, I don't seem to hate them anymore, and I don't like them that much anymore, Princess, do you know, I once met someone that I thought I would never be able to live with after leaving my life, but after leaving, I realized that this world is really big.
This realization seemed to be even deeper than what Qian Li had comprehended. She could not be as free and easy as the Xiao Lan, so as time flowed by, this knowledge of the past was actually engraved in her mind even more deeply.
Several times, if she had even the slightest thought of struggling or breaking free, they would cover the sky and attack her from all directions, causing her to feel suffocated and uncomfortable.
It was only when facing Gong Ye that she felt less of that love in her heart.
"Then Xiao Lan, if I meet that person again in the future, what will you do?"
Xiao Lan had just looked down to the ground floor, and only after hearing Qian Li's words did she turn her head around. Her lips curved into a helpless smile, and she asked: "Does Princess really want to know what I'll do?"
Qian Li nodded. She was curious, but her gaze was focused on Xiao Lan. She looked over to see a man dressed in scholar's clothes carrying a woman with a large belly upstairs. The man's cautious appearance made her feel envious.
However, it was only a moment of envy before the harmonious scene was broken by the woman who was pregnant.
"It seems that she tripped because the man didn't pull her skirt well, a very insignificant action, but her face suddenly changed." "Why were you so careless? What were you doing just now?"
The man's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He almost kneeled down and pleaded, "My wife, don't be angry. It's your husband's fault. It's your husband's fault."
Qian Li slightly frowned. Looking at Xiao Lan's expression, she seemed to have understood something in an instant.
He was sighing in his heart, as the roads to enemies were narrow, it turned out that he was not the only one who met with such a situation, Xiao Lan was the same.
So she asked, "Do you need to leave?"
Xiao Lan shook her head, "No need."
When Qian Li spoke, she deliberately lowered his voice, but Xiao Lan still spoke with the same tone, hearing the familiar voice, the man was startled, and then turned to look at the two of them.
When he saw the Xiao Lan beside Qian Li, the light in his eyes changed greatly.
However, he quickly shifted his gaze, as if he was worried that the Xiao Lan would discover him.
Seeing that, the Xiao Lan frowned, but mostly smiled bitterly, maybe even she did not expect that the person she loved so much in the past, was actually such a weak master.
And because of this movement, the woman saw it again. She glared at the scholar, and then quickly climbed up.
"You go over and tell them that I often sit in that seat. Tell them to move aside."
The scholar looked troubled as he said, "Madam, the seat you often sit is over there."
The pregnant woman kicked the scholar. The kick didn't seem like it was made in seven or eight months. The plump man was quite skillful.
Qian Li frowned slightly, acting as if she didn't see anything, and continued eating her food.
Xiao Lan didn't take action for the time being.
The waiter, on the other hand, was worried that there might be some sort of conflict, so he hurriedly stepped forward. Ladies, this is … "Jing Zhaoyin's only daughter would come here almost every day to eat some snacks. Look …"
Qian Li still did not speak, and did not even bother to reply.
Naturally, she understood the waiter's intention. He purposely mentioned Jing Zhaoyin in order to remind them not to go head to head with him.
She also didn't want to make things difficult for the waiter. If it was anyone else, she would just give way.
However, she wouldn't allow this person to live.
Xiao Lan patted the waiter, "Waiter, go to the side. It's none of your business. Ah …"
The waiter looked troubled, and could only explain in a low voice, "Ladies, this young miss is the tyrant from Chang'an City. The two of you should suffer for a while, so as to avoid hurting our relationship, this is good.
Qian Li smiled, and then said: "You can leave, don't worry, we know what we're doing."
Xiao Lan's family background was also very good, but it was a pity that her father was a businessman, without any power or influence.
