Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

Ling Qiqi has been a little manic and depressed recently. As long as she leaves the palace, she is sure to meet Young Marquis Yi. She can't find a chance to do anything secretly.

Ever since they went to Beiyi Marquis's mansion to roast a whole lamb, rumors have been spreading inside and outside the palace about the relationship between the Seventh Princess and Beiyi Marquis. She feels that this cannot go on any longer.

It's not that she has a high level of awareness of relationships between men and women, but she is very slow to understand them, and she has always treated the young Marquis Yi as a little kid. But she couldn't stand Lu Cheng's serious criticism and education. She could afford to offend Beiyi Marquis, but she really didn't dare to offend Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng said she was an old cow wanting to eat tender grass. Ugh, you are the old cow. Who says old cows can only eat old grass? Old cows have bad teeth, so what's wrong with chewing some tender grass? Besides, did I chew your grass?

When she thought of the time when Lu Cheng was choked by her and his face turned pale, she felt as happy as if she had drunk a large glass of ice cola. Alas, she missed ice cola so much.

She emphasized to Lu Cheng that it was not her who took the initiative to provoke Bei Yihou. Instead of wasting time disgusting her, it would be better to persuade Bei Yihou to stay away from her and not hinder her from making money and enjoying herself.

As a result, Lu Cheng actually said that he had already advised him.

"What does it mean to have advised?"

"literal meaning."

"Then what did he say?"

"He asked me if I was interested in you."

"Puff~" Ling Qiqi sprayed the tea all over Lu Cheng's face without any hesitation.

Lu Cheng wiped his face in disdain and said with a clearer mind:

"He doesn't understand us, especially you, so you must let him know you better, so that I won't be misunderstood."

"You're right...but it sounds a little weird...what do you mean?"

"Literally."

Ling Qiqi was too lazy to argue with Lu Cheng, mainly because she never gained any advantage every time.

However, Lu Cheng was right about one thing. Beiyi Hou did not understand him, and he also knew very little about Beiyi Hou.

So after leaving the palace this time, she no longer tried to avoid Young Marquis Yi. After seeing him, she not only took the initiative to greet him, but also warmly invited him to Yuehua Tower to watch the new play to be performed today.

Ling Qiqi seldom came to Yuehualou to listen to operas as an audience member, and now it could be considered that the boss had come to inspect the scene in person.

When she and Young Marquis Yi entered the house, they ran into Mr. Qi's housekeeper, Mr. Li San (Li Chuan). Nowadays, business people privately call him "Eyeblind Li San". Li Chuan doesn't like this nickname very much, and he doesn't know who gave it to him, but it has spread. Only Lu Cheng knows that there is no one else except Ling Qiqi.

Ling Qiqi brought Young Marquis Yi to the VIP box on the second floor which she had reserved for many years as the chief guard. After sitting down, she looked around.

"The guys here are all so good-looking. What a pity, they all wear masks."

The waiter quickly brought tea, snacks, dried fruits, and fruits, filling up a large table. The play started soon after, and today was a new play, so the attendance rate was very high.

The new drama is still written by Ling Qiqi and Du Jingshan. Unlike previous long series, this time it is a unit drama, divided into the first and second half. The name of the unit drama is "Infernal Affairs".

Ling Qiqi found a position and posture that she felt most comfortable. She ate dried fruits, watched the performance of the actors on the stage, and observed the reactions of the audience below, distractedly.

But from the perspective of Young Marquis Yi, who was standing by, she seemed to be enjoying the show with great interest and concentration. So he did not dare to disturb her and just watched the show quietly with her.

During the intermission, Ling Qiqi turned around and found that there was Lu Cheng beside Young Marquis Yi.

"when did you come?"

"It's been a while."

"What are you doing here?"

"Of course we come to the theater to watch a play."

"I didn't invite you?"

"I came here uninvited."

"Then can I not welcome you?"

Lu Cheng stared at her and said in a gloomy tone:

"You can try."

Who is this person? He is so confident in taking advantage of the show. Who are you trying to scare?

Ling Qiqi was cowardly and complained in her heart.

"Don't worry, I didn't watch it in vain. I have already ordered food from the restaurant next door, and it should be delivered soon."

"That's about right. What did you order?"

"It's all what you like to eat."

"Do you know what I like to eat?"

"Is there anything you don't like to eat?"

Ling Qiqi thought about it for a long time and realized that she was indeed not picky about food.

Young Marquis Yi watched their entire conversation and couldn't get a word in. He was even a little envious of the friendship that the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Princess had developed since they had known each other since childhood. He felt that as long as Lu Cheng was around, he would always be an outsider.

Soon, the second half of the show began and the food was placed on the table steaming hot.

Ling Qiqi continued to eat and watch at the same time, which reminded her of the fairy-tale days when she used to stay at home every night, eating takeout and watching TV series.

She was so absorbed in eating that she suddenly saw out of the corner of her eye two handkerchiefs coming towards her face from two directions, which frightened her.

Lu Cheng and Young Marquis Yi felt somewhat awkward with each other and each put away the handkerchiefs they were holding.

"Hey, don't take it back. I was just about to wipe my mouth." Ling Qiqi said without any shame after her hands and face were covered with food.

Lu Cheng threw the handkerchief to her across the table.

"What an attitude," she complained, using her big greasy hands to pick up a handkerchief and wipe her big greasy mouth.

"The way he eats is really ugly." Lu Cheng complained.

"You were allowed to watch? Why are you looking at me instead of just watching the show?"

After these words were spoken, Lu Cheng was speechless for a moment, and the young Marquis Yi beside him also lowered his head hurriedly.

Ling Qiqi suddenly realized the problem, so she challenged:

"So, why are you two watching me instead of watching the show?"

"Do you think we want to see you? You make such a loud noise when eating that it's hard not to see you. You're like a starving ghost. Can you please pay attention to your public image?" Lu Cheng argued righteously.

"Why would I pay attention to that? Ever since I vomited last time, my image in front of you two has been ruined."

Lu Cheng suddenly felt that what she said made a lot of sense.

Ling Qiqi turned to Young Marquis Yi and said with some regret:

"The Sixth Prince doesn't know how to appreciate a man like me."

"Look at the way you eat, and you call yourself a hero." Lu Cheng said disdainfully.

"Of course, as the saying goes, a man who knows the times is a hero."

"You are the only one who knows the current situation."

"Yeah, I ate a lot. I ate the most fried fish slices, followed by the braised pork."

Lu Cheng looked at her in confusion. She nodded at him, pointed at the table full of food, and said:

"That's right, food, for Junjie."

Lu Cheng's hands were shaking as he held the teacup, and he said while gritting his teeth:

"Can you please stop saying these stupid puns?"

Ling Qiqi quarreled with Lu Cheng from time to time while eating, but it did not prevent her from watching the second half of the show.

After the show was over, the three of them were not in a hurry to leave, but stayed in the box to drink tea and chat.

"What do you think of this play?" Ling Qiqi asked Young Marquis Yi.

"The play is very good. It depicts the sadness of being a spy, and how one general's success is the result of the sacrifices of thousands of men."

"If it were you, what would you choose?"

“I want to be a good person, too.”

"But I don't like this play, with all its fighting, killing, and intrigue. I still like to watch love stories."

Young Marquis Yi blushed immediately, not used to the Seventh Princess's straightforwardness.

"Why are you blushing? I said I like watching love stories, but I didn't say I want to have a love story with you." Ling Qiqi asked.

Young Marquis Yi's face turned even redder when Ling Qiqi asked this question.
