Goodbye, Your Majesty

As for Cui Yan, she just thanked him shyly. Her family background was not high, and her Cabinet Master was only a fourth grade official. If it was a talent show, she would at most give her consent, but now, she had directly arrived at such a level, how could anyone not be envious?

"Aiyo, then I too must congratulate Shen Cai!"

Shangguan Qian, with an open smile on his face, walked over to her.

As for Shen Ningshuang, she was momentarily stunned. However, it only lasted for an instant. Immediately, a faint smile appeared on her face. "May I ask who this esteemed guest is …"

Shangguan Qian'er smirked coldly in his heart, pretending not to know him, did he think that she really wanted to know him?

"Our master is a princess of the Great Sail Kingdom, the empress's goddaughter. She is also a princess of the Great Yan Nation, and is also a would-be wangfei to the third prince."

Shangguan Qian looked at Yishan at his side, and she said arrogantly: "That aura, how could it be that Little Baihua has seen it before?"

"This is …"

"Shen Cai Ren seems to be interested in the people around me?"

Shangguan Qian also looked at her, smiling as he spoke. However, that smile was not really there.

"I was just casually inquiring about it. Princess, you're overthinking things. I'm tired after coming out. I'll be taking my leave. Princess, please continue."

Shangguan Qian didn't answer, he just looked at him with a faint smile on his face, before leaving gracefully with Yishan. If Cui Yan did not go after his, she would be willing to ignore the previous matter, but if she was provoked, she did not mind letting her see his position clearly.

"Tell the empress that we're leaving the palace."

Seeing that Yishan still had more to say, Shangguan Qian could only reply indifferently, though he pursed his lips and gave a 'En'.

At the empress's Palace of Mercy, Shangguan Qian happened to see the emperor there too. For some reason, most of the emperors disliked her, and from the very beginning, they had never been nice to her.

"Your Majesty, Feng Yi has always been outside. Chenqie wanted to move Qian'er back to the palace, but this child is very sensible and isn't willing to bother Chenqie. She seems to be a stranger to Chenqie."

The Empress looked at Shangguan Qian, and then spoke to the Emperor with a loving look on her face. As for Shangguan Qian, he could only endure the numbness on his scalp and smile.

"There are people serving the Third Prince's Mansion as well. There are indeed a lot of things happening in the palace recently.

The Emperor did not think much of Shangguan Qian, and it was always Shangguan Mo who did not give him face, but he was blamed on Shangguan Qian by this matter.

"Since Your Majesty has spoken, chenqie will naturally obey."

The empress had guessed what the emperor was thinking this time, but she didn't dare say anything. Besides, the palace maid had already told her about what had happened today in the imperial garden, and had only heard the new couple laughing and not the old ones crying.

"Qian'Er, since you're not staying in the palace, you should leave as soon as possible. When the palace doors are locked, it'll be troublesome."

The empress gave him a kind reminder, but it was to chase him away.

As for Shangguan Qian Bei, he did not care about it at all, leaving the two men behind as he happily went out the door.

However, at the door of the palace, he once again encountered Li Qingying.

Shangguan Qian couldn't help but prop up his forehead, saying: "Don't say such shocking things!"

Before Li Qingying could open his mouth, Shangguan Qian quickly said with a vigilant look on his face.

Li Qingying merely smiled and said, "I just wanted to send you off. I hope you can still enter the palace."

Shangguan Qian really did not know what to say. She felt that he had said it clearly enough, how could he continue to say such harsh words?

"There's really no need for that. For your sake, and also for my own."

As he finished speaking, he left without looking back, and Li Qingying watched his back as he tightly held a warm jade in his hand. Even though it was just a small piece of jade, he could still feel its warmth, which was the complete opposite of his cold heart.

He had dropped it when Shallow had picked up a maple leaf from the ground, and he had picked it up only after she had left, but the moment he touched it, he knew what it was and where it had come from.

In Lou Lan's small country, the Imperial Advisor Ouyang Jin had led the charge and obtained a large amount of spoils of war. However, he was the only one who asked the Emperor for this warm jade.

But now, it was in Qian'Er's hands, and she even brought it with her. It was impossible for him to think too much about it.

"Qian'Er, is this your choice? Is this why you rejected me?"

Do you know that Ouyang Jin is simply unfathomable? How could you be happy?

As he sat in the horse carriage, Shangguan Qian'er thought of Li Qing Ying at the palace gates and couldn't help but feel angry. After a while, she still touched the warm jade out of habit, and it was gone!

"Yishan, have you seen my warm jade?"

Yi Shan was originally looking at the market outside the carriage, but when he heard her question, she also asked curiously, "What warm jade? I didn't see it. "

"Then what should we do?"

Shangguan Qian'er closed his eyes, suppressing the annoyance in his heart. How could it be gone? How could he have been so careless.

"Do you want to go back?"

Yi Shan could also tell that the warm jade was of great significance to her. It was just that the palace doors had already been locked.

Shangguan Qian didn't want to say anything more, so he only shook his head weakly and closed his eyes.

Ishan did not try to persuade her. She only gave her a worried look.

Shangguan Qian didn't eat dinner, and instead went straight to the house. There was nothing that Yishan could do, so she was left with no choice.

Shangguan Qian, on the other hand, could not fall asleep at all. The room was brightly lit, until Ouyang Jin arrived.

"Why is it late? Why haven't you rested yet?"

Seeing Shangguan Qian staring blankly at the light, Ouyang Jin couldn't help but furrow his brows as he asked unhappily.

As for Shangguan Qian'er, he suddenly threw himself into his arms, and finally could not hold it in and started crying. Only in front of him did she have no scruples, he could cry whenever he wanted to.

Ouyang Jin sighed and carefully pulled her aside, trying to shed tears for her. He asked softly, "What's wrong, Empress? Who caused you trouble?"

Shangguan Qian'er shook his head, "No, Little Jin'er, I lost the warm jade you gave me."

Looking at Shangguan Qian's red and swollen eyes, Ouyang Jin couldn't help but laugh. "I thought it was such a big thing, to actually cry."

Shangguan Qian said with a wry smile, "You gave it to me, and you said …"

"What else is there to say?"

Seeing Shangguan Qian Bei suddenly stop talking, his face red, Ouyang Jin was also playful as he asked in a teasing tone.

"Have you forgotten what you said yourself?"

As she spoke, she felt even more wronged. Ouyang Jin lowered his head and gave her a peck on her lips.

"I really seem to have forgotten. What did he say? It seems to be for his future daughter-in-law, right? Little Qian'Er, huh? "

At this point, Shangguan Qian's face was red with embarrassment, and he buried himself in his bosom, not saying another word.

"Fine, since the warm jade is gone, then so be it. This is what my mother said she wanted to give to her future daughter-in-law. It's better to give it to my little Qian'Er."

Shangguan Qian did not look up, but the smile on Ouyang Jin's face did not lessen in the slightest. That warm jade was just something he liked, and it had always been around him, but he had lied to her that it was for his future daughter-in-law. He had only wanted to tell his that he would definitely marry her.

"But no …" Why are you here? "

Shangguan Qian couldn't help but cry out in alarm, his face still teared, but he was smiling brightly.

"Did Li Qingying give it to you?"

This time, Shangguan Qian recalled Li Qingying's strange actions at the city gate, everything made sense.

Ouyang Jin nodded his head. Indeed, it was given to him by Li Qingying, and he had also said quite a few things. After receiving the jade, he had been in a hurry to go look for her.

"Then is he …"

At a glance, she could tell that this warm jade was extraordinary. She was afraid that Li Qing Ying would guess the relationship between her and Ouyang Jin because of this.

"He didn't know I gave it to you, so I stole it."

Shangguan Qian Shan looked at him suspiciously, but he gave up in the end. What kind of person was Ouyang Jin, how could he see through his thoughts?

"Did you have dinner?"

Shangguan Qian was startled, this time he felt a little hungry. He awkwardly shook his head, but Ouyang Jin merely tapped the tip of her nose.

He said lovingly, "I knew you didn't eat properly. Coincidentally, I also didn't eat properly. I'll go cook. What do you want to eat?"

Shangguan Qian was startled, looking at him blankly. "You said you were going to cook?"

Ouyang Jin nodded his head, "Don't talk nonsense, tell me quickly, what do you want to eat?"

Shangguan Qian'er immediately revealed a big smile. "Little Jin'er, I've discovered that I like you more and more."

After a moment of deep thought, he solemnly said, "I want to eat noodles."

Ouyang Jin was slightly startled before he carried her to the bed. He then patted her head and said, "Your husband will go cook for my wife."

The corners of Shangguan Qian'er's lips twitched a little, but he still said: "Little Jin'er, Little Qian'er will be waiting for your noodles."

Ouyang Jin did not reply, but Shangguan Qian watched his retreating back with a satisfied look on his face.

A quarter of an hour later, Ouyang Jin returned with a large bowl of noodles in his hands.

As soon as he entered the door, he said rather shamefully, "It seems like Isao was frightened."

As he finished speaking, he picked up a large stack of noodles and placed it next to her mouth, and without hesitation, Shangguan Qian bit down on it, savoring the taste slowly.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Shangguan Qian did not answer him directly, instead continuing to speak slowly, "How about you pass this noodle to Yishan, she should be scared senseless."

"What do you mean, not tasty?"

"No, it's delicious." Not everyone dared to eat it.

How shocking would it be for the distinguished Imperial Advisor of Great Yan Country, who was below ten thousand people, to cook the dishes himself!

"Then eat more."

Ouyang Jin was also very satisfied. He picked up another small piece of fried egg and placed it next to her mouth.

Shangguan Qian'er opened and closed his mouth, wanting to take the chopsticks from him as well. "Little Jin'er, you have some too."

But Ouyang Jin didn't let her succeed. "Eat your fill first."

As he spoke, he picked up another set of noodles. Shangguan Qian had no choice but to eat them one by one, and soon they had eaten more than half a bowl of noodles.

"Little Jin, Little Qian is really unable to eat anymore."

"No, eat a little more. You haven't eaten your fill!"

"If you eat too much, you won't be able to sleep well."

Shangguan Qian was still trying to persuade his, he had already eaten twice as much as he usually did. It was unknown where Ouyang Jin had found such a huge bowl.

Upon seeing her in such a state, Ouyang Jin didn't try to force her, and instead, ate his food with an indifferent expression. There wasn't the slightest discomfort on his face.

"Little Jin'er, you …"

Ouyang Jin was eating gracefully, and upon hearing her voice, he raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shangguan Qian was startled for a moment, before asking in disbelief, "It's not that you don't want to share food with others, I thought you already ate it, I …"

"Little Qian'Er, I don't mind your drool."

As he said that, he took a big gulp of soup, leaving Shangguan Qian dazed.

He was an Imperial Advisor. Even if he was just an ordinary man, he wouldn't be able to eat the leftovers from a woman's meal. Yet, he acted as if nothing had happened as he enjoyed himself. Just because of him, he made an exception?

How could he not dare to move? This kind of man, wash his hands and cook the broth for you, eat the leftovers from your meal, and appear when you need it the most.

"We're full, let's rest."

Shangguan Qian nodded, suppressing his tears.

"Little Qian'Er, you don't need to feel inferior. Although I'm not only talented, but I'm also wise, and my cooking is so delicious. I almost have no flaws, but there's one thing I need little Qian'Er to do."

Shangguan Qian was startled. This almighty Ouyang Jin had come up with such a big opening, what was he trying to say?

"What is it?"

"Little Qian'Er, after we get married, you can give me some Xiaoxiao, little Jin."

Shangguan Qian was instantly petrified. This was indeed something that even the omnipotent Ouyang Jin would not do.
