C52

When he returned to the Third Marquis Estate, it was already the time for the golden sun to set. His entire face was flushed red, but he could not conceal the slight smile that appeared in the corners of his eyes.

What is a landscape? A person can be a kind of scenery, let's see how you look at it.

The sky was blue, the wind was cold.

An indescribable sweetness lingered in his throat, and his silk ribbon was filled with sweetness.

I think if it was him, such a warm jade, modest and elegant Xia Junchang, it is worth moving feelings to like.

He was sincere to me, I could feel it.

If he just wanted me to be with him now, to get rid of his loneliness, he wouldn't have to tell me what he was thinking.

I don't really love anyone, but I think I'll learn.

It was due to heaven's love for me that I knew that there was only one person left. Therefore, the arrangements of fate had allowed me to get to know Xia Junchang. I wasn't afraid of waiting, but he was willing to tell me about the matter between him and Imperial Concubine Mu.

And I can still see a little appreciation and gentleness in his eyes.

I remember, in the shade of the afternoon tree, he caressed my cheek and affectionately called me Little Thing.

When he reached the main hall, he saw several eunuchs waiting for him.

Seeing that we had appeared, he welcomed us with a joyful expression, "This old servant greets Third Marquis."

"Why are you out of the palace? Is there no need to wait on Grand Concubine Yi?" He was also somewhat surprised.

"Imperial Concubine Yi specially sent this old servant out to invite Third Marquis and Miss Yun to the palace."

"Got it." He waved his hand. "Wait a little longer."

After pulling me to the side hall, I said smilingly, "Zhiqiu, my mufei really likes you more and more. I can't wait to see you every day. I knew your injury was almost healed, so I wanted you to enter the palace."

"Actually, she also missed you. You are going to the northwest in October, so before you leave, of course she would want to see you more."

"Zhiqiu, it hasn't been long since we left for the northwest. Do you dare to bet on it?" He looked at me with shining eyes.

The fire on my face flared up again. I raised my brows and smiled. "What bet?"

"Do you dare?"

"What do you want to bet first?"

He reached out his hand to scratch my nose. "You're still a bit shrewd, that's good. You won't have to worry about anyone abducting you in the future."

I smiled. "Of course."

"Let's go wash our faces and change clothes. We'll go see mufei."

Um, is he wrong? To see his mufei, not our mufei.

Sigh, it's better not to reveal it, otherwise I would be embarrassed. I hurriedly followed the little girl to wash up before sitting in the carriage and entering the palace.

It was still early, and the palace was illuminated with a faint golden light, making it look as beautiful as a painting. The fragrance of flowers wafted towards him along with the wind.

"Is the matter of the bet you told me about in the estate related to going to the northwest?" I asked anyway, and it was hard not to ask.

He smiled appreciatively. "Yes."

"Then why don't you finish? I want to know what you want to bet? "

It was on the stairs that he took my hand and said, "Slow down." When he reached the top of the stairs, he saw a lake shimmering in front of him. The light was also somewhat brighter.

I'm not in the mood to read this. I just want to hear what he said about gambling.

He smiled. "My mufei is worried when I go to the northwest alone. I also feel that I can't leave either. That place is too lonely."

I smiled, and this time it was my turn to be silent.

I know what he means. He wants me to go with him to the Northwest. Whether I bet or not, I will bet on his character and my eye of discernment. This is indeed going to be a great gamble in life.

"Zhiqiu." He called out somewhat anxiously.

"I don't understand!" I blinked stupidly.

He snappily smiled, then sighed and said, "That's true. We've only known each other for a short time, I just don't want to let it go."

Of course, I've only known him for so long. If I tell him now that I'm willing to go with him to the northwest, wouldn't it seem that I don't have the reserved heart of a woman?

"Why are you so happy?" The arrogant voice interrupted.

I nearly jumped in fright. So there was someone fishing on the lake. That person just so happened to be the Emperor.

Well, maybe we should have said it then.

Once they missed it, they would never have another chance.

Or perhaps, he shouldn't have entered the palace that night.
