After crossing, I was miserable.

Qian Duoduo suddenly felt that Chu Yan's gaze seemed to be a little hot, which made her a little shy in an instant, so she turned her head away involuntarily.

However, she did not realize that at this moment, a faint blush had appeared on her fair and tender face, as beautiful as the first blooming peach blossoms in spring.

Not only that, because her life has been quite comfortable recently, she has unknowingly gained a little baby fat, making her originally round and cute face look even more adorable.

The slightly pouting little mouth is as tempting as a ripe cherry; under the curved willow-leaf eyebrows, a pair of watery big eyes are blinking, as if hiding endless shyness and tenderness.

Anyone who sees her like this will inevitably fall in love with her!

Chu Yan coughed lightly and cleared his throat in an unnatural manner. At this moment, the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became a little subtle, as if it was a little awkward and ambiguous.

Qian Duoduo pondered secretly, feeling extremely regretful. He thought that it would be better for him to pretend to be drunk, then go straight back to his room, fall headfirst on the bed and fall asleep.

After all, life now is not as convenient as it is in the future, with communication tools like mobile phones.

Here, if someone cannot be contacted for a while, it would be like disappearing into the ocean, and it would be difficult to find their trace.

That's why she wanted to get closer to the person she hadn't seen for many days.

It was sad to think about it. Even though she missed Chu Yan so much, she didn't know what he was doing when he couldn't see her.

Nor could he rashly ask his secret guards about his whereabouts, otherwise it would be too abrupt and inappropriate!

Thinking of this, Qian Duoduo sighed softly and said casually:

"I'm thinking, you're not by my side, and I can't find you when I miss you. It's so difficult! Oh!"

Chu Yan pursed his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, but his handsome face was still like a calm lake, without the slightest ripple, always maintaining amazing calmness.

However, he slowly said: "What's the difficulty? If you miss me, you can always send An Ba to find me.

He will keep me informed as soon as possible and will inform you of my every move, including what I am dealing with and who I am meeting with. "

Hearing this, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but widen his eyes, approached Chu Yan with a look of surprise, and said in a low voice:

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, An Ba is also a secret guard with unique skills and great abilities.

It's already a bit of a waste of talent for him to follow me, and now I want to assign him to run errands and deliver messages. Isn't this too disrespectful to him?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yan lowered his head slightly, his eyes gently falling on the petite figure that was almost leaning on his shoulder.

He responded in the same soft voice: “Don’t worry, everything will be fine.

As a secret guard, the first principle is to absolutely obey the orders of the master.

Besides, I have placed him beside you now, with the intention of being at your disposal. No matter when and where, he should be the first to take charge of all your affairs. "

Although the two people were very close to each other, as if afraid that others would hear their conversation, the seemingly faint voices sounded particularly clear in the silent night.

An Ba, who has hearing as sharp as that of a god, can still hear every word between the two people even though they are at a distance.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, and he thought to himself: "It seems that my master really wants to 'sell' me out this time!"

But on second thought, An Ba felt that what his master said was not wrong.

As a subordinate, you should unconditionally obey all orders given by your master without any disobedience.

Even if the master orders you to end your own life, you must not hesitate or retreat.

After all, being loyal to one's master is a matter of course. If one doesn't even have this awareness, how can one be worthy of staying by the master's side and serving him?

Besides, Miss Qian and her master are about to become a family, and the master has to listen to her, so she is now considered to be "married" in advance.

Thinking of this, An Ba's originally somewhat fluctuating mood instantly calmed down, and he was ready to follow his master's further instructions at any time.

Chu Yan gently tidied Qian Duoduo's heavy shawl, carefully adjusting every wrinkle, and said softly:

"Don't get cold. Even though the snow hasn't fallen yet, the weather is quite chilly."

At this moment, Chunxia and Qiudong slowly came over with steaming cups of hangover soup.

Chunxia bowed slightly and said:

"Master Chu, the hangover soup I carefully prepared for Miss is ready. You can drink it anytime now."

Chu Yan nodded slightly and replied:

"Well, that's great. Let's go in together."

After saying that, he gently took Qian Duoduo's soft little hand and walked into the house carefully.

Chunxia had already taken the lead and led a few maids to quickly light the candles in Qian Duoduo's room.

Although according to common sense, it is not appropriate to keep men here at night, the servants are naturally aware of the close relationship between Chu Yan and Qian Duoduo.

Therefore, no one dared to say a word, and no one would spread the matter.

After entering the house, Qian Duoduo said to Chu Yan with concern:

"You should drink some too. It can sober you up and warm your body."

Chu Yan smiled slightly and agreed: "Okay."

So Qiu Dong hurriedly handed the two bowls of sobering soup he had prepared in advance to his young lady and Mr. Chu respectively, and then he respectfully left the room with a group of servants, gently closed the door, and stood quietly at the door.

Qian Duoduo picked up the bowl of sobering soup and drank it without hesitation.

The warm soup slid down her throat, and she instantly felt a warm current spreading through her body.

After a while, she clearly felt her stomach becoming comfortable, and the slight discomfort gradually dissipated.

At the same time, the headache no longer felt as swollen and painful as before, as if a breeze had blown away all the haze.

"Are you going to spend the New Year in the palace?" Qian Duoduo put down his empty bowl, looked at the person opposite and asked.

"Yes, that's right. The palace will prepare a banquet at that time. By the way, have you been back to the Yang Mansion recently?"

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

"Every year Lord Yang and Madam Yang would bring Yang Chuyi to the palace."

"Oh." Qian Duoduo said without any expression.

"Every year on the night before the New Year, which is the last morning court day, my father would hold a banquet in the palace to entertain the ministers and their families.

As the Yang family is an important official in the court, Lord Yang and Madam Yang will naturally be invited every time. So, if nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely go to the palace for the banquet this year, and there is a high probability that you will be taken with you. "
