After thinking about it, she couldn't bear to give away her money. The only thing that belonged to her was a wooden hairpin that her mother taught her to carve when she was exercising her patience.
Take off the hairpin from your head, and a strand of hair will fall down.
"I made this myself, and my craftsmanship is not very good, but this is truly my own thing, and I give it to you!" She stretched out her hand to Prince Xuan.
Prince Xuan was stunned, and he took a wooden hairpin from the little girl's hand.
Although it is a fine rosewood, its value is limited after all. However, Prince Xuan suddenly felt tears in his eyes, because he had never received such a meaningful gift since he was a child!
Maybe the gifts from the emperor's concubine were very expensive, but they were all things that could be bought with money. He had never particularly liked anything. However, what Li Qing was giving to him was a wooden hairpin made by her own hands.
Wooden hairpins are very simple and have no decorations. The tail end is shaped like a ginkgo leaf and can be worn by both men and women.
"Thank you very much, I will keep it well." Prince Xuan said solemnly.
"It's not very expensive, but I'm sure there's no second one like it in the world." Yan Qing raised her chin with pride.
She didn't know how much the gift was worth. She just thought it was good since her parents praised her craftsmanship.
However, a gift that can cover a whole house... is still a bit shabby.
"When I come back, I'll treat you to fish!" she said.
A look suddenly appeared in Prince Xuan's eyes.
"Okay." He said, gently concealing the uncontrollable waves in his tone.
"I'll wait for you." He made a pun.
"It's a deal!" Yan Qing imitated the Jianghu people and stretched out a hand, but...
Prince Xuan once again showed a charming smile, stretched out the little finger of his right hand, and hooked it with the little girl's little finger: "It's a deal!"
The two looked at each other and smiled. Yan Qing looked back at the carriage not far away and said, "It's time for me to go."
"You are already engaged, don't forget this." When Prince Xuan said this, he felt very uneasy.
"I know!" Yan Qing was blinking, and his family members said it over and over again, but they all seemed to be crying, "You too!"
Prince Xuan's smile widened: "I will pay attention, don't worry."
Yan Qingzheng didn't know what the importance of her relief was, but she still nodded, waved her hand gracefully and jumped onto the carriage, and Yun'er quickly followed her again.
Prince Xuan watched the carriage disappear on the official road with deep and firm eyes, holding the wooden hairpin tightly in his hand.
The two of them, who were both younger, didn't have any feelings for each other. One just kept his promise and the other felt that he owed a favor.
So we keep each other firmly in our hearts.
Prince Xuan was a boring gourd, so when the emperor called him into the palace and interrogated him for a whole day, he didn't tell anyone.
That day, he had just invited the concubine to go to the matchmaker, and he was summoned by the emperor.
The emperor asked a few questions briefly in the imperial study. When he heard that Yan Qingzheng and him had exchanged invitations, he immediately couldn't sit still and took him to the back hall.
The emperor seemed to have changed into a different person in the back hall, and he was chattering strange words.
Some scolded the prince for not living up to expectations, some scolded himself for being stupid, some scolded the imperial preceptor for being a bad fortune teller, and...
Maybe the emperor himself didn't know that he had blurted out his comments about Prince Xuan. Prince Xuan listened helplessly, pretending not to hear the emperor call him "that boy", and also said that he had been "cut off" by him, etc...
However, he always had an expressionless face. The emperor vented his anger. Looking at him with no expression at all, he seemed to have a headache. He rubbed his temples and asked him to go back.
Inexplicably, seeing his brother like this made him feel a little happy.
The emperor sat on the steps without any image, sighed, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "My daughter-in-law has become an aunt..."
After thinking about it, the unscrupulous emperor also laughed.
The prince sneezed inexplicably in the East Palace.
Yan Qing was like a bird escaping from its cage, sitting in a carriage all day long and looking at the beautiful mountains and rivers outside, without any sadness at all.
Yun'er and Xuan'er were drowsy, so they discussed it and took turns to rest, ensuring that there would be a sober person accompanying the energetic Miss Seven at all times.
The driver of the car was also an outer disciple of the Tianyi Sect. He lost hope of entering the inner sect when he got older, so he returned to the secular world to marry a wife and have children. He only had martial arts skills and worked as a bodyguard for a while. After being injured, he lost his livelihood.
After being met by Nalan Lianyue, he took him back to Yanfu to work as a coachman.
However, he will only be used when picking up important masters. After all, he is better than ordinary people and can also work as a bodyguard. He was the one who escorted those boys all the way to Tianyimen.
Now this burden naturally falls on him.
"Miss Qi, we will arrive at Ying County in half an hour. We will have lunch there," the coachman said.
"Well, listen to Uncle Cui." Yan Qing was very obedient.
Cui Bo smiled. Miss Seven was much more worry-free than those young masters. Those young masters had caused a lot of trouble along the way. The boys were active and courageous. Even though they were young, they could not suppress their extremely destructive nature.
He was heartbroken at that time!
After sighing with emotion, Cui Bo continued to concentrate on paying attention to the surrounding movements and driving the car.
When we arrived in Ying County, we had already missed the lunch rush hour and it happened to be much quieter.
The Yan family always keeps a low profile when traveling, so they are not too picky. They chose a hotel that looked clean and went in to ask for a private room. After all, they were young ladies.
The waiter warmly welcomed several people into the box.
"Guests, what would you like to eat?"
"There are two baskets of Yingxian County's signature steamed buns, one with meat fillings and one with vegetarian fillings. Then stir-fry some vegetables, mix meat and vegetables, and have a pot of good tea and a portion of steamed buns. I'll take the table outside.
Let's go out later," Cui Bo said.
"Okay, I see that you come to our Ying County often and are familiar with the roads." The waiter said with a smile, "A few guests, wait a moment and they will be here soon."
The waiter went out, and Cui Bo followed him out and ordered food. He waited for the waiter to serve food and tea in the box. He tasted them one by one and found no problem. Then he let the three of them eat. He closed the box door and sat outside.
He ate at the table with four people in another carriage.
There were two carriages to send Yan Qingzheng off this time. Yan Qingzheng and two maids and Cui Bo were in one carriage. On the other carriage were two guards, a boy and a coachman. The carriage was very spacious, so Yan Qingzheng
Most of Qingzheng's boxes and cages were placed on the carriage at the back. Their carriage only had a few boxes tied to the back.
After a quick meal, another coachman went to the backyard to see that the people at the hotel had provided feed and water. He gave the money and started feeding the horses.
Yan Qing was having a meal with the two maids, drinking tea and resting for a while, when Uncle Cui came to invite them on their way.
