Chapter 94 The joy of reunion
Chapter 94 The joy of reunion
"Lanfeng, I'm back!" Li Zeqi called softly while standing in the patio.
The corners of his lips were slightly raised, forming a beautiful arc, and there was a soft light in his obsidian eyes. He looked at Mu Lanfeng as if he was looking at a water lily that had been guarded for a thousand years before blooming, and the sunlight around him was softened.
Mu Lanfeng stood under the eaves with a smile on her face. Her skin was whiter than snow and her eyes were like a pool of clear water. She pursed her thin lips and looked at the person in front of her. She was speechless for a moment.
She knew that she was not a sentimental person, but she was somewhat touched by the situation.
When you have someone in your heart, you will care about them.
"I was here the night the Chen residence caught fire, but you were not there!" Li Zeqi's explanation was simple and clear.
"I know!" Mu Lanfeng smiled calmly, as if what he said was expected.
"You know? You know!"
Li Zeqi thought about Mu Lanfeng's previous actions and realized that it was not surprising that she knew this.
"So you also know who is the mastermind behind this?" Li Zeqi asked.
"It's just a guess!" Mu Lanfeng scratched his head and continued, "I said I don't want to get involved in the court's affairs. You should know more than me!"
"Can you tell me about it?" Li Zeqi asked curiously.
Mu Lanfeng took Li Zeqi's hand, wrote the word "Cheng" on his palm, looked up again, and let go of his hand.
Li Zeqi was silent for a long time: "He hid very well and has been hiding his strength all along!"
"He has secret dealings with Prince Qingqi!" Mu Lanfeng reminded.
"I know!" Li Zeqi was not surprised, "The riot in the army is related to him!"
"I'm glad you come back safely!" Mu Lanfeng looked up at the sky, his heart as calm as a windless lake.
Li Zeqi reached out and helped Mu Lanfeng to tidy up the hair on her temples. He asked with deep affection, "Lanfeng, when are you willing to marry me?"
Mu Lanfeng raised the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, and a blush appeared on his face.
How to answer this?
She knew better than anyone that she longed for freedom and did not want to get married so soon and be trapped in the back house for the rest of her life, sharing her husband with other women.
From the beginning to the end, all she wanted was: to be with one person for the rest of her life!
If you can't do it, you might as well not get married!
"Do you understand what I want?" she asked without hesitation.
"A pair for a lifetime!" Li Zeqi blurted out.
When hearing this, Mu Lanfeng's eyes lit up. Sure enough, people who are in tune with each other are in tune with each other!
"I can! No matter how my identity changes in the future, Lan Feng, you will always be my, Li Zeqi's, only wife!" Li Zeqi vowed.
Commitment?
Mu Lanfeng didn't believe it, but for some reason, when she heard Li Zeqi say these words to her, a hint of joy welled up in her heart.
After all, her identity in her previous life did not allow her to have such dangerous thoughts.
"Wait a moment!" she said calmly.
"Okay!" Mu Lanfeng clearly heard the disappointment in Li Zeqi's words.
"There are still some things I haven't figured out, about me! Qi, give me some more time!" Mu Lanfeng said.
"Do you need my help?" Li Zeqi asked.
Mu Lanfeng shook his head and refused: "No, I can do it myself!"
"Okay!" Li Zeqi smiled knowingly, as if he had taken a reassurance pill.
"What is Eunuch Xia doing here?" Mu Lanfeng suddenly asked.
Li Zeqi's face was dark, and he said helplessly: "He wanted to come on his own, and he said it was for your reputation or something? He said a lot, and the emperor agreed with him, and then he followed him shamelessly! I don't know what he wants to do?"
Mu Lanfeng chuckled and asked in confusion, "What does he want to do?"
"He's just an old foodie!" Li Zeqi said helplessly, "Since he helped you before, let him come along!"
"If Eunuch Xia knew that you were making up stories about him behind his back, he would be sad!" Mu Lanfeng said with a smile.
Li Zeqi smiled but said nothing.
Mu Lanfeng turned and walked outside, with Li Zeqi walking side by side.
In the yard, Eunuch Xia sat in front of a stone table, wolfing down cakes and pastries, as if he would never eat again after this meal.
Hong Yin was sitting nearby. When she saw Li Zeqi coming out with her daughter, she stood up and saluted: "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan!"
"Get up! No need to be so polite!" Li Zeqi put away his smile.
Seeing this, Eunuch Xia stuffed the cake in his hand into his mouth, stood up and said with a smile: "How are you, Fifth Miss? I heard that your stepmother has made you angry again?"
"Hello, father-in-law! Do you think I'm someone who gets bullied?" Mu Lanfeng asked with a smile.
Eunuch Xia looked her up and down and said with a smile, "I don't want to, but I just can't stand Jiang's look. I want to piss her off to death!"
"Father-in-law, this is not acceptable! She is the niece of the Empress Dowager after all. If you go against her like this, aren't you slapping the Empress Dowager in the face?" Mu Lanfeng said.
"Fifth Miss, you don't know that our Majesty said that she is the Empress Dowager, so she is the Empress Dowager. If she has any evil intentions, then she is a smart person, you will understand!" Eunuch Xia explained.
Does this eunuch Xia want to live?
Dare to say anything!
"Cough cough" Li Ze coughed twice with a dark face.
Eunuch Xia realized that he had talked too much, so he stopped talking immediately. He glanced at Li Zeqi and immediately lowered his head guiltily.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Mu Lanfeng asked, "Father-in-law, are you full?"
Eunuch Xia shook his head and said aggrievedly, "No, I only ate two pieces and you guys came out! Why don't you talk for a while?"
There was a hint of complaint in his words!
"Then you continue eating, eunuch. If it's not enough, I'll ask Hongyin to get more!" Mu Lanfeng was helpless when he met a foodie.
"It's still the Fifth Miss who cares about our family!" Eunuch Xia raised his index finger proudly and continued to enjoy his delicious food.
Li Zeqi had a dark face the whole time, his hands clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged...
Seeing this, Mu Lanfeng patted his arm and signaled him to calm down.
Seeing this, Mu Lanfeng was afraid that Eunuch Xia would be dragged away and beaten up by Li Zeqi on his way back.
If it were someone else, they would have been trembling with fear!
"How about Your Majesty try it too?" Mu Lanfeng asked hypocritically in order to ease the atmosphere.
"That's fine!" Li Zeqi said seriously.
Mu Lanfeng almost dropped her jaw in shock. She had just said it casually, but she didn't expect Li Zeqi to agree so quickly.
Eunuch Xia moved the plate of pastries in front of himself and protected it, with no intention of giving any to Li Zeqi.
This eunuch Xia is even protecting his food!
Li Zeqi reached out to take it, and Eunuch Xia did not dare to stop him. Perhaps he thought that he was a prince and he didn't dare to compete with him!
Just looking at Li Zeqi's eyes, it was as if he wanted to kill him.
Li Zeqi took a bite and savored it carefully.
"Yeah, that's right! No wonder he's always thinking about it!" Li Zeqi suddenly realized.
