She pulled Hong Tanqingyi back, "Come, let's go in and make New Year's Eve meal."

Hong Tan had long prepared the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner. With the two of them there, there was no need for Chu Qingyao to make a move. She stood to the side, smiling as she watched them busy themselves.

Very soon, they prepared a table full of dishes. After the dumplings were cooked, the three of them sat around the table and started eating happily. As the three of them were eating, the sound of firecrackers came from outside, and dazzling fireworks blossomed in the pitch-black night sky.

"Princess, look at how beautiful it is over there!" Hong Tan pointed in the direction of the Celestial Pavilion.

"We'll hurry up and eat, and then you can go out and see. It's the new year, so there's no need to stand guard here. I'm a little tired after coming to the palace, so it's about time for me to sleep. "

"Master …" Qing Yi was a little worried.

"It's freezing outside, and we still have to run to the palace. How can we not be tired?" Chu Qingyao smiled and picked up a dumpling for each of them, "Hurry up and eat, go out and play after you're done."

Hong Tan dragged Qing Yi and ran out to see the fireworks. Chu Qingyao stood by the window for a while, feeling bored, before she went to bed.

She had just sat down on the bed when the door opened. "Why did you come back?" She thought it was Hong Tanqingyi.

She did not hear a response for a long time. She thought that had walked in because the wind had blown the door open and was about to close it when she heard him. She was stunned. She didn't expect him to come back tonight.

"This King will accompany you to keep watch." Seeing that she was barefoot, Xuanyuan Zhi could not help but frown, and quickly picked her up and put her on the bed.

Xuanyuan Zhi sat on the bed and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I just didn't expect you to come back." There was satisfaction in her smile. In this strange time and space, if there was someone to keep you company for the rest of your life, then thinking about it in the future, it would warm up the rest of his life.

Xuanyuan Zhi snorted, "When did I make a mistake?" He had said that he would keep her company for the next few years. How could he break his word!?

Chu Qingyao took the initiative to hold his arm, and leaned her face towards him. His body was still cold, and she shivered a little, when Xuanyuan Zhi covered her with a blanket, "I'll take you to the roof to see the fireworks."

He picked her up and carried her outside. With a leap, the two of them sat firmly on the roof. All of a sudden, the dazzling fireworks in the capital were all under his eyes. Bang! Bang! Bang!

Chu Qingyao smiled like a flower as she made a wish in her heart. She hoped that there would never be a war in Tian Qiong and it would be best if someone else became the emperor. She doted on the man behind her and wished him a life of luxury and freedom.

The cold wind hit her face, causing her to feel some pain. She leaned her face against his chest to keep warm. "Is it cold?" he asked.

"No, I want to see." She forced herself to come out and continue watching.

Xuanyuan Zhi's light laughter entered her ears, causing her to turn her head, and she to become stunned. His smile was so beautiful, his thin lips let out a faint smile that was exceptionally warm, as if it melted the entire night sky.

"Chu Qingyao, why aren't you looking at the fireworks?" Xuanyuan Zhi lowered his head, his lips almost touching hers. She looked away in panic and said with a guilty conscience, "He's not looking!"

Xuanyuan Zhi laughed happily, this woman did not even know how to lie, where did she see the fireworks coming from?

At some point, the night sky had quieted down. The starry sky had turned into a sapphire, mysterious and distant. Xuanyuan Zhi jumped down with Chu Qingyao in his arms, "Let's go back."

Just as the two of them entered the house, Su Ruyi rushed in, "brother Zhi, Aunt Mian is injured."

Xuanyuan Zhi was in disbelief. How could he be injured on the new year's eve? Furthermore, he had been staying on the roof all this time. If someone were to barge in, how could he not know? " "How?"

"When Aunt Mian was pouring water, her feet were scalded by boiling water," Su Ruyi's gaze landed on the two people who were hugging each other. His face was filled with jealousy, and he wished that he could take her place.

"brother Zhi, quickly come with me to see her." Seeing that she did not seem to be lying, Xuanyuan Zhi jumped off the bed, "I'll be right back."

Without waiting for Chu Qingyao's reply, he had already left in a hurry. Su Ruyi stared at her fiercely with a pair of envious eyes, then ran out.

Once a woman is tainted with love, she loses her mind.

From her perspective, most of Su Ruyi's thoughts were one-sided.

After everyone had left, she took out a box of ointment used to treat burns from the system and personally sent it to Celestial Pavilion. When they arrived, they found that the manor's doctor had also just arrived. When Aunt Mian saw her, his face immediately sank.

Su Ruyi glared at him in displeasure, "What are you doing here?"

"I am the mistress of this house, shouldn't I come when Aunt Mian is injured?" Chu Qingyao walked towards Xuanyuan Zhi and handed the ointment over, "This is for treating burns, take it, I'm going back."

The doctor was currently examining the back of Aunt Mian's feet that were scalded. A layer of blisters appeared on the surface, the blisters were dense enough to make people feel uncomfortable.

Xuanyuan Zhi took the ointment, "You …"

The Aunt Mian had already guessed what he was going to say. He said coldly, "Get the doctors at my house to bandage me up. I don't want to trouble anyone else." Chu Qingyao mocked herself as she looked over. Did she say that she wanted to help her bandage it?

Narcissism!

Xuanyuan Zhi threw the ointment back to the doctor, "Bring in this medicine."

"Zhi Er!" Aunt Mian did not want to use Chu Qingyao's things. It was only hot to the feet, there was no danger. Xuanyuan Zhi looked at her, "If Aunt Mian does not want to use it, you can just throw it away. In the future, if there is a scar on your foot, you can't regret it."

There was no woman willing to leave scars on his body. Aunt Mian was also a woman who loved to be beautiful. So she said to the doctor, "Apply the medicine!" Waiting for the medicine to be done, Aunt Mian called her back, "Zhi Er, it's New Year's Eve tonight. My leg is still hot, you accompany Ru Yi in my place. It's easy for a girl to miss home if she's alone. "

"Alright." Xuanyuan Zhi agreed readily, and turned his head, "Ru Yi, I'll send you back to your room."

The Aunt Mian saw that Su Ruyi was stunned and hurried, "Ru Yi, your brother Zhi wants to send you back to your room! Why aren't you following me? " As long as they were alone, she didn't have to worry.

With such an outstanding appearance, how could she be afraid that Zhi Er would not be tempted?

Su Ruyi walked into Su Ruyi's room one after another. She was so excited that her face was flushed red.

"Ru Yi, the sun is about to rise. Go to sleep!" Xuanyuan Zhi's footsteps stopped in front of the table.

Su Ruyi was a little discouraged. When he went to accompany Chu Qingyao, the two of them had clearly been hugging each other. "I won't sleep tonight, so why don't we drink?"

She called the maidservant over and told her to fetch the wine. She pushed a jar to Xuanyuan Zhi and looked at his face in sadness. If drinking wine could keep him, then she would rather finish all the wine in the Duke Palace.

"brother Zhi, we need to get drunk."

Xuanyuan Zhi's eyes became gloomy, "Do you miss home, Ru Yi? "How about I get someone to send you back after the new year?"

"I only want you to send me off!" Su Ruyi opened the wine seal for him, "brother Zhi, let's drink."

She liked him. She liked him a lot, but they spent so little time together that it hurt. If not for Chu Qingyao, he would have already married her.

Xuanyuan Zhi avoided her eyes and held the jar of wine in his hands. His gaze was even colder, accompanying her as she drank mouthful after mouthful, not saying a word. Su Ruyi seemed to be sulking and quickly finished the entire jar. She got up shakily and threw herself at him, "brother Zhi, we have an engagement, when will you be willing to marry Ru Yi?"

Xuanyuan Zhi helped her up onto the bed, covered her with a blanket and was about to leave. Su Ruyi grabbed onto him, "brother Zhi, don't go.

"Ru Yi, you're drunk. That marriage contract doesn't count at all."

His words provoked Su Ruyi, and she roared out, "I'm not drunk yet, brother Zhi, do you know why I'm calling you Ru Yi? If it is the same, it is because I want to be consistent with you. " There were tears at the corner of her eyes, "That marriage was set by my father and Aunt Mian, how can it not count?"

Some people were destined to be disappointed.

Xuanyuan Zhi walked out.

After the third day of the first month, Chu Qingyao went to visit the old mistress of the Han family. After that, she stayed at the Prince's Mansion. In the blink of an eye, it was the first month. Today, when she was walking on the streets, she suddenly thought of Hua Ximo and Yan Er. She wondered if they were still in the capital.

"Elder sister." I never thought that it would be such a coincidence, Yan Er's voice suddenly sounded from behind me.

"Yan Er." She turned around and saw Hua Ximo walking towards her, holding Yan Er's hand.

"Chu." Hua Ximo had a light smile on his face, the moon-white gown only added to his handsomeness.

"Young Master Hua."

Just as the two of them greeted each other, they heard an annoying voice, "Chu Qingyao, you dare bring roasting king out to meet a man in private?"

Chu Qingyao impatiently turned her head, as if she couldn't spit anything out of her mouth, and opened her mouth, "Who do I think it is? It turned out to be the Crown Prince. Which one of your eyes saw my secret meeting with a man? There are so many people on the streets. Could it be that all of the people in the capital are here to meet with this wangfei privately? "

From when Chu Qingyao said that the Atractylodes chinensis Schneid was her shop many years ago, Hua Ximo had already found out about her identity. He wasn't the least bit surprised to hear her call herself this wangfei.

"A sharp tongue." The Crown Prince blamed himself for being too impatient. He should first find someone to follow Chu Qingyao, and when it was confirmed that she did not follow the rules of a woman, he would spread the news of this matter.

Chu Qingyao saw that he kept looking around, as if he was waiting for someone. She stood there coldly, not saying a word. Not long after, they saw a sedan chair stop across the road. The crown prince snorted at her and said, "I still have things to do, so I'll let you off for now."

"I really don't know how your teacher taught you to be so rude to his elders." Chu Qingyao sarcastically stared at the sedan chair in front of her, only to see the curtain being opened. From it, a young girl dressed in pink descended.

The crown prince furiously glanced at her before hurriedly walking to the other side. He chatted and laughed with the girl as they entered a nearby restaurant.

When Chu Qingyao saw the slim and graceful figure of the woman, her steps were as smooth as a lotus as she silently guessed her identity. To be able to attract the attention of the Crown Prince, he must be the daughter of an important official in the imperial court.

"Sister, are you still coming with me and brother?" Yan Er shook her hand in anticipation.

A feeling of reluctance arose in her heart, but in the end, she had no clue what it was. Hua Ximo called out to Yan Er, not allowing her to ask any further. Before, he didn't know she was a Prince Zhi's Concubine, but now that he was known, she could still decide for herself. After all, the roasting king was extremely tall and many women dreamed of marrying into the Prince Zhi's Mansion.

Chu Qingyao lowered her head, "Elder sister still has some matters to take care of. I'm afraid I can't leave with you guys."

Hua Ximo was startled, she did not look perfunctory at all and could not help but ask, "Do you really want to leave this place?"

"I never lie."

His eyes were shining like stars, and a faint smile blossomed on his face. "I will wait for you in Guwu Men."
