When Ye Qi and Mo Tian returned to the general's mansion, they saw the third prince Ling Hao sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, leisurely drinking tea and admiring the beautiful scenery of the general's mansion.

Speaking of beautiful scenery, his cousin's yard is the most boring. Apart from the pine and cypress lawn, there is no other decoration. It is very boring.

Seeing Ye Qi and Mo Tian coming in, he immediately smiled. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw the rifle next to Ye Qi and was so shocked that he was speechless.

"Cousin, where did you get the wolf?"

The rifleman was standing upright next to Ye Qi's legs, with a pair of sharp eyes under his upright ears examining the person in front of him. His thick, long and dense brown and black fur shone with golden light under the sunlight.

Seeing that Ye Qi didn't answer him, he reached out his hand to touch it, but was forced to withdraw his hand in embarrassment after hearing a warning growl from Qiangba.

Seeing this, Ye Qi gently patted Rifle's neck to comfort it and let it relax its vigilance. The longer they spent together, the more tacit they understood each other.

Ling Hao could only watch their interaction with envy. It had only been half a month since they last saw each other, yet already his cousin had a wolf by his side, and they were getting along so closely.

Sitting back on his stool, he asked:

"Cousin, you are finally back. Where have you been these past two days?"

"I've been waiting for you at your house for two days. Butler Yang said that you were going out to do something. What were you going to do and why couldn't you take me with you?" Ling Hao asked curiously.

Even if we go to the parade ground for training, we will take him with us. He also wants to stretch his muscles. He is almost getting sick from being bored in the mansion.

Ever since he was nearly assassinated and sent back, Concubine Wei has been haunted by the situation and has had people keep an eye on him at home, not allowing him to run around. She even stopped him from going to the restaurant to listen to music.

Only after Ye Qi returned to the capital did he have the chance to go out and look for him. However, after coming for two consecutive days, his cousin was not at home, so he could only drink tea alone in his house in boredom.

"No!" Ye Qiye sat at the other end of the stone table, holding a cup of tea and drinking it while saying.

He didn't want to mention the kidnapping of Yu Qingshi to him. Although he was engaged to Yu Qingshi, the fewer people who knew about this kind of thing that would damage his reputation, the better.

If Yuqing wants to tell him someday, then that's fine. If not, he won't interfere.

Isn't that nosy? He chuckled to himself, as if he had been involved in this matter from beginning to end.

"Then how did you train this wolf?" Ling Hao asked, still unwilling to give up.

"This is a dog!" Ye Qi said lightly, and as he spoke, he reached out to touch the rifle that was lying quietly at his feet and resting.

"Is this a dog?"

"No wonder it's so human-like. Can I let it interact with me?" Ling Hao asked expectantly.

"Ask it yourself!" Ye Qi picked up a cup of tea and said casually.

Ling Hao curled his lips. How could he ask? He had already been scared back by the dog just now. Never mind. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

"Since you have nothing to do today, why don't we go to the other courtyard to enjoy the flowers together?" Ling Hao said with a turn of his eyes.

"Appreciating flowers? What flowers?" Ye Qi asked as he poured another cup of tea.

"Lotus, the lotus in your villa is the most beautiful in the whole capital!" Ling Hao said with ill intention.

"Hmph, I'm not going!" Ye Qi sneered, "It's only May now, where do the lotus flowers come from!" Knowing that he had other intentions, he didn't want to pay attention to him.

"So, you have to go and see to know whether the flowering period has arrived. What if they bloom early, wouldn't it be beautiful!" Ling Hao teased.

"No!" Ye Qi put down the teacup, rejecting his proposal. He rubbed the rim of the cup with his fingers, feeling inexplicably irritated.

"Cousin, aren't you curious at all?"

"It's been almost three years. Three years, aren't you curious at all about what the foreign princess you married looks like?" God knows he was so curious that he wanted to run to the villa immediately to find out.

"Then again, this foreign princess is really patient. It's been almost three years, and she hasn't even once shown up at the general's mansion!" Ling Hao shook his head in disbelief.

Moreover, every time Butler Yang went to deliver something, the princess always covered her face with a veil, drew down the curtains, and hid in the inner room. Butler Yang had never seen the princess's true face!"

"It seems like you two really intend to never have anything to do with each other again!" Ling Hao thought again, "No, it seems like you two are a perfect match made in heaven!"

Seeing Ye Qi glaring at him, the next step was to draw his sword, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Father is almost dying of anxiety over your offspring. When you came back this time, I gave you more than ten beauties as a reward, but you just gave them to the soldiers under you!"

"Father's meaning is, whether it's a concubine or a beauty, as long as you like them, you can name as many as you want, and they will be sent to your house today!"

"So, cousin, what kind of beauty do you like?" Ling Hao asked Ye Qi curiously.

"Have you been free these days?" Ye Qi looked at him and asked in a faint tone.

"It's quite leisurely!" Ling Hao replied without knowing why.

"Your marriage with Miss Yu is scheduled for half a year from now?" Ye Qi continued to ask.

"Oh, that's true!" Ling Hao replied with a sigh. His free and easy days would not last long.

"Then I will go back to my aunt tomorrow and ask her to advance your marriage. Since you are determined to be a leisurely prince, you should have children first!" Ye Qi suggested.

"Cousin you?!" Ling Hao looked at Ye Qi in annoyance.

"If you have many children, it would be okay to adopt one of them to me!" Ye Qi said lightly.

Ling Hao fell silent. Are you planning to hand over the issue of offspring to him? If that's your plan, please let me go.

Ye Qi saw him shut up and curled his lips in satisfaction.

What kind does he like? He drank the tea in his hand in one gulp, sighed softly in his heart, looked at the rifle beside him, and the shimmering lake in the distance, probably, as bright as the moon and as brilliant as the stars.

Ling Hao didn't understand what was going on. Seeing that his expression was gloomy, he quickly changed the subject.

"In two days, Minister Zheng's family will hold a Spring Festival banquet. Cousin, you must have received the visiting invitation. Shall we go together?" Ling Hao looked at Ye Qi with some anticipation. He loved to join in this kind of fun the most.

"No!" Ye Qi replied coldly.

Although he knew that Ye Qi didn't like going to such occasions, his decisive refusal still made him crazy.

"By then, there will be many great scholars and elegant people reciting poems and composing essays, lords and nobles competing in tossing pots, and princes and ladies visiting the gardens to appreciate the flowers. It will be very lively and bustling. It will be a pity if you don't join in the fun, cousin!" Ling Hao shook his head regretfully.

If at that time there is a young lady that catches his cousin's eye, he will have solved the worry of his father, and his father will be very happy and will definitely reward him.

Seeing that Ye Qi didn't say anything, he said to Mo Tian who was beside him: "Mo Tian, ​​you should also persuade your young master to take you to join in the fun. It would be so much fun. You should also relax while training the soldiers!"

"Oh, the young master is not going. He will be busy in the next two days. He has to go to watch the basketball game at the Lishan Medical Clinic!"

Before Ye Qi could stop him, Mo Tian naively told Ye Qi where he would be going in two days.

It was not until he received Ye Qi's dangerous look that he wondered if he had said something wrong. He stuck out his tongue and quickly lowered his head to pretend to be dead.

Ling Hao saw through the trick. The master and servant must be hiding something interesting from him, so he had to get to the bottom of it.

"Basketball game? What basketball game?" Ling Hao moved closer to Ye Qi, determined not to give up until he found out the answer.

"Nothing!" Ye Qi swiftly dodged his approaching body and said with disdain.

Seeing that Ye Qi was not going to say anything, Ling Hao turned to look at Mo Tian, ​​approached him and forced him to say: "Mo Tian, ​​tell me, what basketball game?"

"I, I..." Mo Tian was forced to lean back. Without Ye Qi's consent, he didn't dare to say anything else.

Seeing that they were unwilling to say anything, Ling Hao decided to use the method of pestering: "Since you are unwilling to tell me, then from today on, I will live in your house and follow you closely until I go with you to participate in that competition in two days!"

After saying that, he sat back on the stone bench with a smug look on his face, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Ye Qi looked at him calmly, knowing that he could really fight him for two days, and said calmly: "It's up to you!"

After saying this, he drank the tea in one gulp, called for the rifle, stood up and walked towards the study.

Not objecting means agreeing. After seeing him leave, Ling Hao stood up and grabbed Mo Tian, ​​determined to get to the bottom of the matter.
