Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

Ling Qiqi sighed and said to Du Jingshan:

"It's difficult. Our positions are different. I just recently figured out why Lu Chengyou wanted to get engaged to me. He didn't just want to gain a foothold in Ximo. I underestimated his ambition. I'm afraid we had different scripts from the beginning."

"Script? What script?"

Facing Du Jingshan's questioning, Ling Qiqi thought for a moment, and seemed to be answering Du Jingshan, but also seemed to be talking to herself:

"Nothing, I'm just giving an example. For example, we are both actors in the same play, but we have different scripts. He plays his and I play mine. Or maybe we are the same, but I didn't study the script enough to perform it. For example, we both play entrepreneurship, but I think entrepreneurship is family business, making money to buy a house, just a small business, but they have grand plans. Alas, my vision is narrow."

"People's minds are hard to predict. You don't have to worry too much about it. Some things are beyond your control."

"I'm not entangled. You don't know me well enough. I never regret anything. I value the present and the future more. So you promised to return to Beiwei as soon as possible?"

"it is good."

Seeing that she had finally succeeded in fooling Du Jingshan, Ling Qiqi finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the next few days, she packed a lot of luggage for Du Jingshan, fearing that he would feel uncomfortable on the road. She also arranged for the escort agency to escort him, and told the escort to walk slowly rather than let her senior brother suffer because of the rush.

On the day Du Jingshan left Tianyuan, Ling Qiqi and Ling Yi saw him off together.

The moods of the three people were visibly different. Ling Yi was in the best mood, Ling Qiqi was neither sad nor happy, and only Du Jingshan was worried, repeatedly telling Ling Qiqi to take care of herself and stay away from things that would hurt her mind and body, and from time to time he would glance at Ling Yi standing beside him, almost saying that Ling Yi was a thing that would hurt her body.

After Du Jingshan left, Ling Qiqi and Ling Yi became even busier.

Although Tianyuan was founded hastily, the Ninth Prince had laid a good foundation in the north after years of management, and he also had a group of loyal ministers and generals following him. Therefore, after the founding of Tianyuan, under the leadership of Ling Yi, it quickly got on the right track.

In addition to continuing to stabilize people's hearts and strengthen defense, Ling Yi was busy building a new palace. He still lived in the previous palace. Although the palace was not small and the regulations had long exceeded the standards of the palace, Ling Yi didn't want to treat Ling Qiqi badly.

Ling Qiqi was busy planning. She had already asked Ling Yi to arrange for people to capture some wild animals alive and raise them, and then find people to cut down brambles. The more the better. Although Ling Yi didn't know what she meant, he did it like a henpecked husband.

After the New Year, although the weather gradually began to warm up, it was still cold in the north in spring. However, Ling Qiqi didn't care about the cold and insisted that Ling Yi take her to the border of Ximo for a field investigation.

Ling Yi knew that she was worried about Ximo invading the border, but he didn't want her to travel in the cold weather, so he asked someone to give her a very detailed border map and asked someone to make a sand table for her. He asked her to study it in the warm house first and then go when the weather got warmer.

Although Ling Qiqi was not satisfied, she knew that once Ling Yi made up his mind, it would be difficult for him to change his mind, so she was too lazy to try to persuade him.

These days, Ling Qiqi felt sluggish and always couldn't wake up. She thought it might be due to the seasonal sleepiness caused by spring and autumn fatigue, so she didn't take it too seriously. Instead, her appetite became stronger and she always wanted to eat. The side effect was that she gained weight. In the past, it was because she had a bad stomach, so she didn't gain weight no matter what she ate. Now she didn't know what was wrong, but Ling Qiqi felt that being able to eat was a blessing. Anyway, it was impossible for her to abstain from food and lose weight. She couldn't give up her appetite. It was even more impossible for her to exercise and lose weight. She couldn't give up laziness.

It’s okay to be fat, being fat can help to resist the cold. It would be better if Ling Yi doesn’t dislike her for this.

Today, Ling Qiqi had just eaten and slept well, and was about to study the sand table when Ling Yi sent someone to inform her that people from the Yahe Kingdom had arrived and brought a batch of supplies, and the convoy was waiting at the back door to inspect the goods.

Ling Qiqi was so happy that she was jumping for joy, as if someone had come to her house. She skipped happily out of the west yard and went to the back door to inspect the goods herself.

As a result, Ling Qiqi saw from afar that there were more than ten horse-drawn carriages, each of which was loaded with supplies, and Liu Nian'an was discussing the unloading with others.

"Liu Nian'an." Ling Qiqi excitedly started to greet him from a distance.

Liu Nian'an heard the familiar voice, turned around, and respectfully performed the Yahe salute to her. Ling Qiqi walked over, patted his shoulder casually, and asked:

"Why did you come here in person? Did you have a smooth journey? You've worked hard. How is your mother? Is she still healthy? How is our Crow Kingdom doing now? And Mianmian, is Mianmian still doing a good job as the Deer King?"

She asked a lot of questions, and Liu Nian'an didn't know which one to answer for a moment. In the end, he just answered them all in a concise manner:

"all good."

"That's all good. What good things did you bring me this time?"

As she spoke, she began to inspect the convoy. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure from the corner of her eye. She felt a shock in her heart. When she looked carefully, she saw that the man was also looking at her, but he was wearing a thick and big hat that covered half of his face. However, Ling Qiqi still recognized him. It was Pei Chufeng.

She stood there in a daze, somewhat incredulous, suspecting that she had seen it wrong, but she really couldn't deceive herself and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Seeing this, Liu Nian'an hurried to Ling Qiqi's side and whispered:

"Seventh Princess, the Southern Emperor insisted on coming with us, and I cannot stop him."

"You arrange the unloading first, and I'll leave Pei Chufeng to me."

Liu Nian'an retreated as ordered. Ling Qiqi sighed and walked towards Pei Chufeng.

The affection in Pei Chufeng's eyes almost drowned her. After not seeing him for such a long time, he seemed to have lost some weight, probably because of the bumpy journey, he looked very haggard.

"Are you cold?" Ling Qiqi asked him caringly. He shook his head and nodded. Ling Qiqi's heart softened instantly.

"There are too many people here, why don't you go to the inn and rest first? I'll come back to find you, okay?"

Pei Chufeng shook his head again, and finally nodded reluctantly.

Ling Qiqi smiled at him, waved at him, and indicated that he should go back and rest now. Pei Chufeng then left, looking back every few steps.

After Pei Chufeng left, Ling Qiqi had mixed feelings. She forced herself to focus all her attention on the dozen or so trucks of supplies. After all, human hearts were not like supplies and could not be unloaded easily.
