Chapter 234 The Living Abandoned Empress of the Cold Palace X The Invading Unruly Buddhist Son 68
Yun Qian raised the corner of her mouth slightly when she heard this. The smile was shallow, but it carried a subtle tenderness that was hard to detect. "When we're together in private, you can call me as you used to, but you must not do that in public."
Chunxi was stunned for a moment, then nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, Miss!" Her eyes lit up again, as if she had received some great comfort.
Yun Qian looked at her and softened her tone: "Have you packed your things?"
Chun Xi hurriedly handed the box forward and said respectfully, "Everything is packed! Don't worry, my lady, this trip home will be safe and sound!"
Yun Qian nodded gently, her eyes sweeping over Chun Xi. She was wearing a simple yet clean light green skirt, her hair styled in a double bun, an apricot blossom hairpin tucked diagonally into her hair. She looked charming and lovely. Her round, always smiling eyes now shone brightly at Yun Qian, as if they could see flowers.
Yun Qian was amused by her appearance and shook his head. He smiled faintly and said, "You, don't be so excited. We are just going back to take a look, not to do anything big."
Chunxi couldn't help but mutter softly, "Miss, don't you think that going back this time feels like a long-awaited reunion? After all, it's been a long time since you've been back, and everyone in the tribe must miss you very much."
Yun Qian's eyes dimmed slightly upon hearing this, but she didn't say anything else. She wasn't one for expressing her feelings, and if Yun Piao hadn't mentioned it specifically, she would have already wanted to drag Qi Heyao to the front lines. But then she thought about it, realizing it had been a while since she'd seen her family, especially her younger sister. She was so lively and cheerful, so charming and endearing.
Thinking of this, Yun Qian said calmly, "Alright, go wait by the carriage. Leave as soon as possible so the sooner you go, the sooner you can return."
Chunxi responded, picked up the box, and hurried out, her heart still throbbing with excitement. Although the Eastern Palace was larger and more spacious, no one here dared to do anything rude to her. After all, she was the Crown Princess's concubine, so who would dare to boss her around? But for some reason, she preferred the old days...
----
The winter plum blossoms on the branches are in full bloom, with a subtle fragrance floating in the air, and their admirable temperament is unique.
As Yun Qian stepped out of the hall, he looked up and saw a familiar figure standing in the shadows outside. He was dressed in a dark brocade robe, a white fox fur coat, and a jade crown tied around his hair. His features were clear and gentle, and he exuded a perfectly refined and noble demeanor. It was Qi Heyao.
She paused slightly, a thousand thoughts already racing through her mind. She had assumed she'd be traveling alone, with a small group, but she hadn't expected Qi Heyao to show up. He'd clearly been waiting for a long time, his gaze quiet and focused, a hint of tenderness etched in it as it rested on her.
After a brief pause, Yun Qian let out a gentle smile, and with just the right amount of joy, she softly asked, "Why is Your Highness here? Did your aunt ask Your Highness to come and see me off?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Heyao's smile was gentle and filled with confidence. He smiled faintly and shook his head, "It wasn't my mother who sent me here to see you off. I'm already your husband, so it's my duty to accompany you back home. Qianqian, you've hurt my heart by saying that."
His tone was gentle, yet it carried a hint of half-hearted grievance, as if her refusal had truly displeased him. Yun Qian glanced up at him, her eyes fluttering slightly before quickly fading into a faint smile. She whispered, "I was wrong. Your Highness's kindness is deeply appreciated."
Her docile attitude softened Qi Heyao's gaze. He stared at her and whispered, "I know you're usually alone, but today is different. Now that you've married into the Eastern Palace, I won't let you handle the responsibilities I should share alone."
Yun Qian nodded slightly, pretending to be calm: "Your Highness has me in mind, so I will naturally obey your orders. In that case, let's get in the car!"
Yun Qian was about to give up. She didn't like being called a concubine all the time, what a lowly attitude... But there was nothing she could do. This was ancient times. Thinking of this, Yun Qian almost couldn't help but sigh. Perhaps it was because of the world's mechanism, too many worlds were ancient, and there were very few modern worlds...
Somehow, Qi Heyao seemed to have heard Yun Qian's thoughts. He raised his arm, put his arm around her shoulders, and pulled her towards the carriage, saying softly, "Why do I feel that after getting married, Qian Qian has become more restrained in front of me..."
Qi Heyao seemed to be immersed in his own world. Perhaps thinking of the tenderness of last night, he smiled indulgently a few times. "Qianqian, let's call each other by the same name in private, or whatever you like."
What he wanted was Yun Qian as a person. He didn't just regard her as his Crown Princess. From the very beginning, he had never thought of living a life with her where they treated each other with respect, were placed in a position of worship for the attention of others, and were a couple who were in name only.
Yun Qian was indeed a little surprised when he said this suddenly. After all, according to the memory of the previous life, Qi Heyao should be a person who likes her to obey him unconditionally. Now that she has done it, why does he say that he doesn't want this anymore?
Yun Qian listened to this and thought in her heart. There was no strange expression in her eyes. She just tilted her head slightly to look at him with a faint smile on her lips: "Your Highness, you are overthinking it. I have just entered the East Palace and I still need some time to adapt." Her voice was gentle and calm, just like her usual appearance, as if everything in front of her was under her control.
Qi Heyao seemed to have noticed her "ease" and smiled, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "Qianqian, when did you learn to be perfunctory to me? I remember, you have never been like this before." As he spoke, he did not stop, but held her arm with a little force, as if he wanted to confirm her true feelings.
Yun Qian secretly pondered what Qi Heyao meant... What exactly did he mean? Unfortunately, she had no memory of these trivial things, which might have happened in her previous life. "Your Highness, I am naturally happy that you respect me, but I am disciplined and I am afraid that if I don't follow the rules, I will cause trouble for Your Highness outside."
Yun Qian said this with her head down, looking rather unhappy. She was taking a step back to advance, and today she was determined to find out what Qi Heyao was thinking.
It was a chilly day, and the two of them were sitting in the golden carriage, leaning against each other intimately. How many couples in the world worry about food and clothing, but this most noble couple in the world was sitting in the carriage, enjoying the warm offerings, but their hearts could not be connected.
"How could that be? But who said anything about you?"
Qi Heyao was really puzzled. He tried his best to think about whether someone had made Yun Qian unhappy recently, but he couldn't figure out the reason no matter how hard he tried.
"Husband, you really don't know?"
In an instant, Yun Qian was in a state of dramatic acting, staring at him with a pair of affectionate eyes and a hint of grievance.
