As she expected, Shen Lang did not come to the Hibiscus Residence for the next few days. He did not find trouble with her either. His days were considered peaceful.
Quiet. On this day, Zhu Qiqi was walking alone in the garden. The hibiscus flowers were in full bloom in the huge garden. The layout of the garden was exquisite and elegant.
Pavilions and pavilions were built along the water, and the path was paved with pebbles. The courtyard was lush with vegetation and flowers.
At this moment, her dowry maidservant, Qing 'er, handed her a letter.""Miss, your letter."
Zhu Qiqi turned to look at the letter in her hand and asked doubtfully,""For me?"
"Yes." The Green Girl nodded.
Zhu Qiqi took the letter and opened it to take a look at the contents. She was startled and asked,""Who sent it?"
"On my way back to the residence, a little boy gave it to me and told me to give it to you personally."”
Zhu Qiqi's heart was in turmoil at this moment. She could not help but hold the letter tightly to her heart. After a long time, she said calmly,"You may leave."
The Green Girl bowed and left.
Zhu Qiqi held the letter in her hand, her heart filled with bitterness. The fate of this life was already predestined by the heavens. He was her fate, her fate.
Obsession, unable to extricate himself, could only sink deep into it.
She took a deep breath, turned around, and walked towards the bedroom.
Beside the lake, the parasol trees on both sides were full of parasol flowers. The air was filled with this elegant fragrance. Zhu Qiqi, who was wearing a long white dress, walked away.
By the lake, her long black hair hung down in front of her chest, and her slightly powdered face was stunning. The hairpin on her head embellished her black hair, adding to her beauty.
Noble air. Finally, a straight figure entered his sight. She stopped abruptly.
Murong Xun was dressed in a snow-white brocade robe today. He was handsome and his facial features were as clear as ink. There was an indescribable pride between his brows.
He turned around and looked at Zhu Qiqi. Their eyes met, and there was no longer any emotion in his eyes. Zhu Qiqi clenched her hands tightly, trying her best to make her heart tremble.
Peace.
Murong Xunfeng sensed the change in her heart. He walked up to her and looked at the face that he had been longing for day and night.
She was the person he wanted to protect the most. He had looked forward to their arrival countless times, but in the end, he still missed her.
"I thought you wouldn't be here today."”
Zhu Qiqi smiled faintly.”
Murong Xunfeng smiled bitterly." It's nothing. I just wanted to see you. We didn't get to talk properly that day in the palace. I just wanted to see you."
I want to know if you're really doing well.”
Zhu Qiqi couldn't help but smile bitterly. How should she tell him that she was just a sacrifice in this marriage?
After a long while, she said,"I'm fine. How about you?"”
" Yes," Murong Xunfeng nodded." Same old."”
Zhu Qiqi smiled faintly and remained silent. Before she came, she had many things to say to him, but now that she was in front of him, she couldn't say a single word.
There was nothing to say. She subconsciously touched her neck and realized that Shen Lang did not return her jade pendant to her.
She had originally planned to return the jade pendant to him today, but it seemed that she could not return it now.
Since she was not fated, she should not miss him anymore. She could no longer respond to his love.
Since he had already embarked on this path of no return, he was already heartless. Why not be heartless to the end?
"You're not happy, are you?”His gentle voice rang in her ears.
Her heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She looked up into his deep eyes. There was a faint bitterness in his words."You can fool others.
But you can't lie to me. Your eyes tell me that you're unhappy.”
Hearing his words, a warm current instantly surged into her heart. Her eyes reddened unknowingly, and all the words were stuck in her throat.
He could not say a word.
Murong Xunfeng's eyes were filled with sorrow.""I'm sorry I came back late, and that's why you had to face today's situation.”
Zhu Qiqi couldn't bear to see his guilty expression and explained,""I chose this path myself. I don't blame you.”She was clearly the one who had let him down.
How could she blame him for betraying the promise between them? If she wanted to blame someone, she could only blame the heavens for making them fated to be apart.
After a long time, she asked,"How long will you stay in the capital?"”
Murong Xunfeng said," The border is temporarily stable. I'll stay in the capital during this period of time. If he can't treat you well and give you happiness, I will."
I'll take you away."
Zhu Qiqi was stunned. Taking her away? Was that a promise? Unfortunately, she would never be able to leave.
On the street, a luxurious and exquisite carriage slowly moved forward. A few guards with sabers followed behind the carriage. Shen Lang, who was dressed in a brocade robe, sat cross-legged in the carriage.
He sat down and closed his eyes to rest. Suddenly, a clear voice entered his ears. He frowned slightly and lifted the curtain with his slender hands.
When he saw the couple not far away, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, carrying a deep gloominess.
By the time she returned to the Prince's mansion, it was already lunchtime. Zhu Qiqi had just stepped through the gates of the Hibiscus Residence when a maid hurriedly came to pass the message,"Your Highness, please."
She made a trip to the Phoenix Residence.
Zhu Qi Qi stepped into the Phoenix Residence. This was the first time she entered his Phoenix Residence. Shen Lang met her in the side hall of the Phoenix Residence.
There was a long square table with palace maids standing on both sides. They were holding trays with white porcelain cutlery placed in them.
Shen Lang sat in the middle of the room and said with a smile,""Wangfei, sit here and eat with this king.”
Zhu Qiqi bowed slightly and smiled as she walked to his side and sat down.
The maids respectfully placed the cutlery and dishes, and then everyone quietly left.
Facing the table full of delicious dishes, Shen Lang did not eat. Instead, he raised his head elegantly.""Wangfei, there's no need to be so reserved.”Although two
They were husband and wife, but after being married for several months, this was the first time they had a meal alone like this.
Zhu Qiqi raised her head and said gently,"Your Highness, use it first."
"Wangfei is so reserved and careful with her words. Do you feel tired?”Shen Lang supported his chin with one hand and smiled at her.
"The country has its laws, and the family has its rules. I'm just following the family rules.”Zhu Qiqi replied indifferently.
"Speaking of rules, does wangfei not know that as wangfei, one cannot go out alone to meet with others?”Shen Lang raised his eyebrows elegantly and looked at her.
"This concubine has been in the residence for a long time and felt bored. I went out for a walk to meet a friend.”Zhu Qiqi answered honestly without dodging.
"Oh? Friend, since wangfei likes that friend, then this king should invite that friend of yours to visit Rui Wang fu and stay.
Some time ago." Shen Lang said slowly.
Zhu Qiqi stood up and bowed." If I have done anything wrong today, please punish me, Your Highness."”
"Wangfei, don't be anxious. This king is just giving you a reminder. Some things are in the past, so don't let others catch you.
In the capital, there are countless pairs of eyes spying on Rui Wang Fu. Do you understand what this prince is saying?”
"I understand." Zhu Qiqi lowered her head and said. Of course, she understood the meaning behind his words.
"Benwang is hungry. Wangfei, take a seat.”Shen Lang said.
Zhu Qi Qi raised her head and sat back down. Shen Lang didn't mention Murong Xunfeng or the last time. His thoughts were really hard to guess.
After the meal, Shen Lang suggested that she accompany him to the garden. The backyard of the Phoenix Residence was quiet and elegant. The long corridor was winding, and the trees were tall and lush.
Yu, surrounded by flowers and strange stones, hundreds of flowers compete for beauty.
"Princess Consort is not in a good mood?" Shen Lang said.
"No," Zhu Qiqi replied.
