Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

The seventh princess shouted that she would fight again if she refused to give in, but the sixth prince asked for a temporary truce and to eat the skewers while they were still hot.

Ling Qiqi indeed felt hungry, so she stopped forcing herself and picked up a skewer of roasted lamb kidneys and started eating without a care in the world, using the skewer. A'ran followed suit, and from the look of it, you could tell that they were both really hungry.

Beiyi Hou and the Sixth Prince were not surprised and ate with gusto.

Pei Chufeng could only follow the local customs and chose a standard beef skewer, which he ate elegantly.

After a while, except for Pei Chufeng, the other four people had a lot of empty drills piled up in front of them.

Seeing that Pei Chufeng ate little, Ling Qiqi asked:

"Is it not to the Third Prince's taste?"

"No, it's delicious. It's just that my health has always been poor and I can't eat too much meat."

"What disease do you have?" Ling Qiqi asked with concern, her voice unusually gentle.

Pei Chufeng felt warm in his heart and replied:

"It's just that there are some congenital deficiencies."

"I know a very good doctor, would you like to try him?"

"Don't bother the Seventh Princess. I know my own illness well."

Ling Qiqi frowned and looked at him without saying anything, seeming a little unhappy. Pei Chufeng looked at her frown, feeling a little anxious, and wanted to reach out and smooth it out. He still liked to see her talking and laughing, carefree.

Ling Qiqi no longer had the gentleness she had before, and asked in a slightly sharp tone:

"I'm a straightforward person, please don't mind me. I've been learning acupuncture from Du Yu since I was a child. I consider myself half a doctor, and few doctors like to hear such discouraging words from their patients. I also want to ask, are you planning to use your health to form an alliance with Bei Kui? Aren't you wasting their time?"

"I... I don't dare to ask for anything. I just want to take this opportunity to go to the Chunronghui to see the different mountains and rivers and customs of Beiwei."

Ling Qiqi was stunned, then nodded with deep understanding and said:

"Well, your idea is understandable."

Pei Chufeng was also stunned, and thought with a bit of luck: Is it so easy to get away with it?

"You can't get married anyway, so just treat it as a trip to enjoy the mountains and rivers, which is also good."

"Why can't my third brother get married?" A'ran asked the Seventh Princess unconvinced.

"The Fifth Princess definitely doesn't like your Third Brother. As for the Sixth Princess, you and your Third Brother definitely don't like her." Ling Qiqi analyzed to her carelessly.

"What about you?" A'ran asked unwillingly.

Pei Chufeng's heart was pounding, he was afraid to hear the Seventh Princess' answer.

"Me?" Ling Qiqi seemed to be thinking about something and was hesitant to continue.

"I know that the Seventh Princess definitely doesn't want to marry me now." Pei Chufeng said self-deprecatingly.

"It's not that I don't want to marry you, it's that I've never thought about getting married." Ling Qiqi kindly comforted Pei Chufeng.

"Just because you have the golden ticket for exemption from marriage? But didn't you say before that you would consider it if the time came?" A'ran asked.

"So it's not destiny yet. I'm not in a hurry. I haven't had enough fun yet."

Ah Ran was speechless. Seeing that Ah Ran was convinced by her, Ling Qiqi became a little too proud. She turned around, patted Pei Chufeng on the shoulder, and said:

"Third Prince, you don't have to belittle yourself. Don't worry, if one day I change my mind and want to get married, you will be the first one I consider."

Poof! Bei Yihou spat out all the tea he had just drunk, stared at the Seventh Princess and asked:

"Are you drinking too much?"

"I haven't drunk yet, but you reminded me. Someone, bring the wine."

Lu Cheng, who had been silent the whole time, really wanted to give Ling Qiqi and Ling Yi a slap in the face. One slap on Ling Qiqi was not enough, he needed two.

Lu Cheng will be returning to Ximo in ten days. He has been busy preparing various matters these days. He doesn't really have much attachment to anything here. The only thing he is worried about is Ling Qiqi.

The second prince of Ximo, his second brother, once confided in him, hoping that he could marry the Princess of Beiwei, which would help him gain a foothold in Ximo quickly. He didn't care about his future situation in Ximo. He was worried that if he didn't take care of Ling Qiqi, with Ling Qiqi's noisy energy, she would inevitably offend people, and maybe one day she would lose her life. If he kept Ling Qiqi by his side, he would feel more at ease.

The Northern Emperor also talked to him about this. If he was willing to marry a princess, the Northern Emperor would be his strong backer and support him in his fight for the position he had the right to get in Ximo, but the condition was that the princess would be canonized as queen after the marriage was accomplished.

It's not that he hadn't considered asking the Northern Emperor for permission to simply ask Ling Qiqi to marry him back to Ximo. After all, Ling Qiqi didn't care where she went. He couldn't guarantee her immense wealth, but it wouldn't be a problem for Ling Qiqi to continue to be lazy and eat. At most, he could make a marriage agreement with her in private, and the wedding would just be a formality. After the marriage, they could keep out of each other's way and enjoy their own lives.

Lu Cheng had been looking for an opportunity to have a serious discussion with Ling Qiqi, but Ling Qiqi had been so busy lately that she was nowhere to be seen all day long. He might have thought she was deliberately avoiding him and didn't care at all about him going back to Ximo. She had just said that she would consider Pei Chufeng first.

He really doesn't care about anything else.

He is actually still at home now, treating this idiot and his idiot future boyfriend to eat kebabs. He is really bored.

The servants had already brought the wine, and Ling Qiqi happily poured herself a drink. She tilted her head back and drank the whole cup of wine in one gulp. She smacked her lips, slammed the table and shouted:

"This wine is watered down!!! Who did this?"

Ling Qiqi glared at Lu Cheng fiercely:

"is that you?"

Lu Cheng was so angry that he said:

"Drink if you want, or not. If you don't want, forget it."

"I treated everyone to this meal and I paid for the wine. Why did you dilute my wine? This kind of diluted wine makes me lose face, you know? Did you drink all my wine secretly? Give my wine back to me right now!"

"Okay, I'll give it back to you. Come with me." Lu Cheng stood up and said.

Ling Qiqi looked up and asked him in surprise:

"Why go?"

"Go pick some wine."

Ling Qiqi was overjoyed and said to A'ran happily:

"Wait for me to pick out some jars of good wine for you."

After saying that, he jumped and followed Lu Cheng.

Pei Chufeng and Ling Yi looked at the Seventh Princess' back, and they both had the same thoughts.

Ling Qiqi followed Lu Cheng for a while and found something wrong. Why was he heading towards the study?

"Where are you taking me to pick out wine?"

Lu Cheng said nothing and continued walking towards the study.

Ling Qiqi instinctively sensed that something bad was about to happen, so she planned to slip away.

"I don't want to drink anymore. I'm going back first." After saying that, Ling Qiqi turned around and ran back.

But Lu Cheng seemed to have foreseen Ling Qiqi's intention and route of escape. He turned around and grabbed her back, then held her arm and continued to walk towards the study.

Ling Qiqi felt very uncomfortable being dragged by Lu Cheng, but she couldn't break free. In anger, she sat down on the ground, trying to hold Lu Cheng back with her own weight.

Ling Qiqi is indeed quite important. Lu Cheng turned around and said unhappily:

"stand up."

"Let me go, and I'll get up."

"If you don't want me to hold you, get up quickly."

"Tsk, I'm not looking down on you, you just can't hold me, I..."
