"Qiaohui! Just let me go out for a walk. I'm really bored staying in the house!”Chang 'an had been quiet for the past two days. She tossed and turned, just wanting to go out and play.
However, Qiaohui had not relented. First Madam had directly given her an order to keep an eye on Eldest Miss no matter what. She could not go anywhere. How could she dare to make a decision?
"Miss, can you stop making things difficult for Qiaohui? Madam made it very clear that if anything happens to Miss, Qiaohui doesn't have to stay in the Prime Minister's residence anymore. Miss, do you really want Qiaohui to wander the streets?”
"Qiaohui! It's not as serious as you say. Why don't you think about it yourself? How many years have you been by my side? Even if mother is willing to let you go, I'm not willing!”
"What do you mean?"
"Madam-"
Chang 'an looked up and saw her mother walking in with a frown. It was obvious that she had heard the conversation between her and Qiaohui.
"Mother, I want to go out for a walk, but Qiaohui said that Mother told her to stop me from going out!”
"It's fine to walk around in the residence. If you want to go outside the residence, then you should obediently stay in the house!”
Chang 'an felt helpless. How could he prove that his injury was really not a big deal and that he could walk around?
Chang 'an sat up from the bed and began to put on her clothes without caring. She had only recently learned it and was not very skilled, but this action surprised the Prime Minister's wife.
"Chang 'an, when did you…learn to change your clothes?”The Prime Minister's wife stared at Chang 'an with wide eyes.
Chang 'an still pouted and did not answer. The Prime Minister's wife walked to the bedside and sat down. She took Chang' an's hand and looked into her eyes." You seem to be in such a hurry to get out. What exactly is out there that attracts you?"”
The sadness in her words shocked Chang 'an. She stopped and looked at her mother, not saying a word for a long time. Chang' an really didn't understand why her mother would say such a thing.
"Could it be that a grown woman really can't be kept…"
The loneliness in Madam's voice and the gentleness in her expression and movements made even Qiaohui, who was standing at the side as a bystander, feel sad. Chang 'an looked at her mother in surprise. She always felt that when she said these words, her mother seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.
Chang 'an could not bear it, but she also felt that her mother was too sensitive for no reason.
"Why did Mother say such a thing? Chang 'an did not feel that there was anything outside that attracted him to go out and see. It was just that it was boring to stay in the house all the time. Moreover, hadn't he already played all the fun places in the mansion?”Moreover, there was indeed nothing fun to do. It was just a few ponds and a few fake mountains…They were already tired of each other.
The Prime Minister's wife looked at Chang 'an worriedly. She frowned and opened her mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing how to open it.
In the end, she couldn't help but say," Chang 'an, why do you have to go out? Is it-"
"Alright! Mother, don't be like this. At most, I won't go out, okay?”
Something was really wrong with her mother today. What was it that made her suspect that she had gone out to meet someone else?
"Mother, what's wrong with you today?"
The Prime Minister's wife avoided Chang 'an's puzzled and probing gaze and only said," Nothing! Mother just…just can't bear to part with you.”
Reluctant?
Chang 'an didn't understand. Wasn't it just a street? What was there to be reluctant about! It wasn't like he wasn't coming back.
"Why did Mother say that? It was just going out to play for a while. Why would he say that he couldn't bear to?”
The Prime Minister's wife shook her head as if she had something on her mind and was unwilling to say it. Chang 'an took her mother's hand, held it, and gently patted it.
"What can't Mother say directly? Was Chang 'an really just going out to play for a while? This injury had already passed for nearly four days. It was just walking. There wouldn't be any hindrance.”
Chang 'an's pleading gaze made the Prime Minister's wife very uncomfortable. She was too insistent and insisted on going out to the streets today. She could not stop her!
The old monk's words echoed in his ears when he went to the temple to offer incense the day before yesterday.
"Your daughter will be back in three days. There will be a calamity..."
"Calamity?" Looking at the old monk in surprise, the Prime Minister's wife suddenly felt panic in her heart.
"Madam, don't be anxious, and don't misunderstand.”The old monk's voice was neither fast nor slow." From the divination, your daughter's fate is rather complicated, and it's difficult to determine her fate in a short time…However, I can confirm that this tribulation is a tribulation of love, not something that's usually dangerous.”
The Prime Minister's wife couldn't think of a way to continue the conversation with the old monk. Even an eminent monk like him couldn't tell what the fate of Chang 'an was like. Did it mean that the fate of Chang' an was too luxurious and not everyone could see it? Or did it mean that the fate of Chang 'an was full of ups and downs, and it was hard to tell whether it was good or bad?
All of a sudden, she felt a mix of emotions. All her feelings turned into nothing. She was at a loss.
"Thank you for your trouble, Master…"
In the end, the Prime Minister's wife left after saying this. She was very nervous. Chang 'an had been different from her brother since she was young. She would cause trouble every few days and was even more worrying than her brother.
If she hadn't stayed at the Prince Qing's Mansion for a night the day before yesterday and was punished after returning, she wouldn't have thought of going to the temple to offer incense and pray for a divination for Chang 'an.
——
But now, the Prime Minister's wife had already decided to give up. Even if she stopped her, what was the use?
What should come would always come. Those destined things could not be stopped.
"Alright, you can go."
"Hmm?" Chang 'an really did not understand why her mother suddenly gave up.
The Prime Minister's wife raised her hand and tidied Chang 'an's hair." Go," she said softly." When the time comes, as long as you don't see anything good, just bring it home."”
Chang 'an was waiting for his mother to say this. His face suddenly became cheerful and he said to his mother with a smile,""What good stuff can there be? They were just some small toys on the street. Who would care about them!”
"You…I really can't do anything to you.”
"A daughter knows that a mother is the best!”
*——*——*
Breathing the noisy air on the street, Chang 'an felt very fresh. The memories of her previous life were actually a little distant. Chang' an couldn't remember clearly whether she had to go out with her mother like this in her previous life. She also couldn't remember what she liked more on the street in her previous life...
However, there was one thing she remembered very clearly. Because, until now, he still liked it and could not forget that taste.
"Miss, your favorite candied haws! Are you going to buy it?" Qiao Hui pointed to a spot not far ahead and said," Are you drooling?”
Qiao Hui's unintentional words inadvertently evoked the deepest thoughts buried in Chang 'an's heart.
That year, she wore a phoenix coronet and a ceremonial robe. With an imperial edict, she stepped into the palace and married Qi Muyuan. In the end, she never ate or even saw her beloved candied haws again.
Yes, everyone would think that as the Empress, she had silk, gold, silver, jewelry, and food all day long. She naturally lived a fairy-like life. However, at that time, who knew the pain in her heart?
Loving someone humbly, giving up everything she liked for him.
" Miss..." Qiao Hui looked at Chang 'an in confusion." What are you thinking about?”
Chang 'an turned around and looked elsewhere. Some sad things were in the past. It was in the past. It was better not to mention them.
"It's nothing! I just suddenly thought of something unhappy…"
"Something unhappy?" Qiaohui was puzzled. She didn't see anything unhappy about Miss recently.
"Alright, let's go."
After such a long time, looking at the candied haws in his hand, Chang An had no desire to eat them again after eating one. Thinking about the things he liked and insisted on in the past, it was really childish.
"Qiaohui, don't you think I'm a little childish?”
"Childish? No, he didn't. Why would Miss suddenly ask such a strange question?”
Chang An smiled and said nothing more.
"I didn't expect that the Imperial City would still be so prosperous.”
Chang 'an looked at the place where the acrobatics were being played. The crowd was bustling, and it was really impossible to squeeze in.
" Humph!" A discordant snort fell into Chang 'an's ears.
Chang An looked to the side and saw a tall figure.
Chang 'an thought that she had misheard or that he was not targeting her. However, she did not expect that he was really targeting her.
"The rich kids don't do their proper jobs all day long. They fight cocks and run dogs like this. Do you think this is prosperity?”
Do you think this is prosperity?
A deep voice rang in his ears. He never knew that a person's voice could be so pleasant. Chang 'an turned around and looked at the person who spoke. Just by listening to the voice, he wanted to see what he looked like.
"Young Master, are you talking to us?" Qiao Hui looked at the man who had suddenly appeared beside the young miss with suspicion in her eyes. He did not look like someone from Qi.
He smiled. As the saying goes, a smile is romantic. The corners of his lips that were slightly curled up made one's heart flutter. It was truly a radiant smile.
He only curled his lips and did not answer Qiao Hui's question. Chang An raised his eyebrows and looked at him." Young Master said that this is not really prosperous?”
"Could it be that you think this is the so-called prosperity?”
Chang 'an frowned." What is Young Master trying to say?"”
He seemed to be trying to say that the current prosperity of Qi State was not really prosperous?
" Young Master, you don't look like a person from the Kingdom of Qi..." Chang An looked at the man in front of him. He looked like a son of a rich family.
However, his speech and mannerisms were like that of a playboy.
"That's right. He's not from Qi."
The man smiled calmly, but this bearing could not be faked.
Chang 'an wanted to say something, but he was a step too late. He smiled casually." Actually, I've heard of you a long time ago.”
Chang 'an looked up at him blankly." What?”
"It's nothing. I just feel that you really live up to your reputation…"
" Chang 'an-"
Someone was calling Chang 'an's name. Before Chang' an could turn around, Qi Muyuan patted her shoulder.
