Chapter 128 Qing'er is moved

"Xiao Jian, you've gone too far..." After regaining her senses, Qing'er looked at the marks on her body and her clothes, and turned away shyly, unwilling to look at him anymore.

She silently straightened her clothes, only to find Xiao Jian's arms wrapped around her from behind, and his lips pressed against hers once more, "Xiao Jian!"

"Do you want everyone outside to know what we're doing?" Xiao Jian whispered in her ear. "Be good, be quiet, and quietly enjoy the time when it's just the two of us."

Xiao Jian's hand moved up from her waist. Qing'er subconsciously tried to escape, but Xiao Jian pulled her back. "I want to save the best for our wedding night, but before that, I need to get some benefits."

These days, whenever he could meet in the palace, Xinglan would always interrupt him just as he was about to do something. Now, he has to get his money back with interest.

Shuangxi, standing outside the carriage, and Xiao Jian's attendant Xiao Bin, were in a rather awkward situation.

Xiao Jian came out today so that they could drive their carriages outside and go wherever they wanted, until he told them they could go back.

They wanted to say something, but it was clearly inappropriate, so they both blushed and continued on their way to the train.

The carriage that was brought out today seemed to have been specially modified by Xiao Jian. The decorations inside were different from those of ordinary carriages. At the very back, there was a small bed that could accommodate two people lying down together.

At this moment, Qing'er and Xiao Jian's outer garments were casually placed on the bed. Xiao Jian was lying on the bed, and Qing'er was sitting on his lap, looking down at him. "How much longer will you let me go?"

Xiao Jian reached out and pulled Qing'er down, pressing their bodies close together. He whispered in Qing'er's ear, "As long as I'm alive and remember you, I will never let you go!"

"Qing'er, I told you, as long as you agree to be with me, I will never let go!"

Hearing Xiao Jian's words, Qing'er's tears involuntarily flowed down her cheeks, "Xiao Jian..."

Noticing Qing'er's tears, Xiao Jian kissed her eyes, saying, "I actually made my wife cry, I deserve to die!"

"I won't allow you to say that!" Qing'er quickly reached out and covered his mouth. "I... I'm moved, I'm crying tears of joy!"

Before she met Xiao Yanzi and Xiao Jian, even though she was loved by the Empress Dowager, she always felt that she was a person without a home and could be abandoned at any time. But now, Xiao Jian told her so firmly that no matter what, he would not let go.

"From now on, please don't cry anymore. Every time you cry, it hurts my heart like it's being slashed by a knife. I've said it before, I just want you to laugh happily and be joyful every day!"

"Okay, I'll try not to cry." I'll try my best not to hurt him.

Time passed by unnoticed, and Qing'er's stomach began to rumble.

"Xiao Jian, I'm hungry."

"Okay, I'll take you to get something to eat now." Xiao Jian looked at Qing'er with a doting smile.

She then lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at Xiao Bin, "Go to Biyun Pavilion."

"Biyunxuan? Is that your property?" Qing'er looked curiously at Xiao Jian, who was getting dressed. "How many properties do you own in the capital?"

Xiao Jian looked down at Qing'er, whose clothes were still half-undone, and teased, "What? You're already asking about my business before you're even married into the family. It seems you really want to be the housekeeper."

Although he was joking, his eyes were full of possessiveness towards Qing'er. Being teased by Xiao Jian's words and stared at by his direct gaze, Qing'er finally couldn't resist and got up to put on her clothes.

"I helped you take these clothes off, so naturally I should help you put them on too." Xiao Jian stepped forward and snatched the clothes from her hands. Qing'er instinctively wanted to take them back, but looking at Xiao Jian's eyes, her hands went limp, and she could only close her eyes and let him dress her.

Xiao Jian lowered his head and looked at the shy Qing'er with a smile on his face, "After we get married in the future, I imagine I'll be able to dress you every day, that would be wonderful."

"Master, we've arrived." The carriage stopped, and Xiao Bin's voice rang out from outside.

Xiao Jian lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage first. Then, he carried Qing'er out of the carriage. Qing'er struggled, "Xiao Jian, put me down."

“You’re hungry now, and you won’t have the strength to walk on an empty stomach, so let me carry you there so you can eat something faster.”

The guests at Biyunxuan looked at Xiao Jian with shock and envy as he carried Qing'er in.

The innkeeper recognized Xiao Jian at a glance and led him to the master bedroom on the second floor. "Master, please have a seat with your wife. The food will be served shortly."

Meanwhile, Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi were enjoying their own private time in the Bibo Pavilion.

The small boat glided slowly on the lake. Inside the cabin, Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi sat facing each other. On the table were fine dishes, along with some wine and snacks.

While eating, Xiao Yanzi frowned and said, "Yongqi, Qing'er's wedding is only a month away, and I have a feeling that something might happen."

"You mean, Xinglan?" Yongqi asked Xiaoyanzi as he poured himself a drink.

"Yes, we still don't have any concrete clues about Xinglan's identity, and I'm extremely worried. Do you think he might try to sabotage the wedding?"

"Could he do what's written in the stories, switch Qing'er out and bring a fake one instead?"

The more Xiao Yanzi talked, the more worried she became, and naturally, she lost her appetite.

Yongqi, sipping his drink, retorted, "Aren't you worried that someone might sabotage our wedding?"

"How can that be the same? You are the most valued prince of the current emperor. The scale of a prince's wedding is much larger. Even if they wanted to interfere, it wouldn't be so easy!" Besides, there is a gap between her and Qing'er now. After all, Qing'er grew up in the palace, so her ability to face danger is naturally inferior.

"Me, Xiao Jian, Erkang, Ertai, Benjamin, Father Emperor, Empress Dowager, so many of us are watching this marriage closely. If someone can really replace Qing'er without anyone noticing, wouldn't that mean that our Qing Dynasty is also in grave danger? We didn't even know when an outsider impersonated Father Emperor?"

"So don't worry, we definitely won't let anyone ruin this wedding."

"At this hour, Xiao Jian is probably out playing with Qing'er, nothing will happen to him!"

Yongqi's words eased Xiaoyanzi's anxiety somewhat. "That's true. Staying under my brother's nose, I can't let anyone take advantage of me."

————————————————————

At this moment, Yongqi, who was comforting Xiaoyanzi, naturally had no idea that just today, Qing'er had indeed been taken away from Xiao Jian's territory...

After eating, Qing'er felt sweaty and uncomfortable wearing clothes, so she asked Xiao Jian to arrange a bath for her.

Xiao Jian wanted someone to serve her, but Qing'er refused, saying, "Although I grew up in the palace, I won't let them help me with this kind of thing."

"In your territory, who would be so foolish as to trespass?"

"Alright, then you go ahead and wash. I'll keep watch outside." Xiao Jian was persuaded by Qing'er. He couldn't go in, so he could only keep watch at the door.
