The leaves fall without parallel

Xiao Lingche had long noticed that Ye Qingge looked at Xiaolan from time to time. It was a wise decision for him to bring Xiaolan out today. This way, he would have a legitimate reason to look for Ye Qingge in the future.

The wife of Marquis Jingyuan originally intended to let her son have more contact with Miss Ye so that she could propose to the old lady. However, Prince Xuan suddenly showed up and seemed to be interested in Miss Ye, which forced her to give up the idea. Prince Xuan was not someone they could afford to offend, so they had no choice but to give up.

The young marquis also had an expression of resignation on his face, but judging from the look on Prince Xuan's face just now, he probably wanted to torture him to death. He saw the murderous intent in Prince Xuan's eyes. Although the beauty was beautiful, he could only admire her from a distance.

In order to thank the nobles who came to visit, the Ye family held a special banquet to entertain them.

Xiao Lingche naturally sat at the main table with the host family. The Marquis' wife and the young Marquis also sat at the main table. Her brother had really gone back to catch up on some sleep. It was really hard for him; he hadn't slept well all night. She would have to bring him something delicious later to reward him.

Before everyone started eating, Ye Qingge suddenly wanted to annoy Xiao Lingche. Who told him to be so rude and overbearing to her just now? So she said to the young marquis

"Young Marquis, thank you for picking up the handkerchief that fell into the water for me. Qingge will offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."

Everyone looked at the young marquis in unison. He was also confused by Ye Qingge's sudden words. When did I pick up the handkerchief? But Ye Qingge had already stood up with a teacup in her hand. She looked at him expectantly, but why did she look at her smile with ill intentions?

He secretly glanced at Xiao Lingche's face, which was icy and looked like a storm was coming. He felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't refuse Miss Ye's face, so he had to bite the bullet and stand up to reply.

"Miss Ye, you are too polite. This is what I should do."

The two raised their glasses and nodded, then drank it all in one gulp. Xiao Lingche almost crushed the glass in his hand, completely ignoring how sullen someone else's face was. Fine, fine, just piss him off like this, right?

After Ye Qingge sat down, she felt the temperature around her dropped by several degrees. The energy emanating from Xiao Lingche, this huge iceberg, was enough to freeze people to death.

The atmosphere was awkward at this moment. To break the awkwardness, the old lady said

"Everyone, hurry up and eat your food. It won't taste good if it gets cold. Hehehe..."

Later, Xiao Lingche toasted General Ye and thanked him for his previous training.

The wife of Marquis Jingyuan observed the situation and thought that Miss Ye did not like Prince Xuan. She had been pouring wine for her son and wondered if she would like Xue'er. So she boldly asked Ye Qingge:

"Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. Dongling has a custom of boating on the lake to admire the moon. I wonder if Miss Ye is interested in joining us tomorrow."

Ye Qingge's eyes lit up

"A cruise on the lake to admire the moon? Sounds like a good idea."

Ye Qing on the side continued

"Yes, Dongling has always had this custom. Sitting on a boat and admiring the moon is quite unique. I have been on the expedition for many years and haven't participated in this activity for a long time."

Ye Qingge took his arm and said coquettishly

"Then Dad, let's go together tomorrow, along with Grandma and my brother. Our whole family will go together."

"Oh, I'm old and I get dizzy all the time. How can I take a boat?"

The old lady looked at Ye Qingge lovingly and said

"This boat trip is for young people. Why would an old man like me join in the fun?"

Ye Qing said that he was too old to participate. Ye Qingge was a little disappointed after hearing that.

"Ah...if you guys aren't going, then I won't go either. What's the point of going alone?"

"I will go. If Qingge doesn't mind, I can accompany you."

"I'm going too, Miss Ye. This kind of event is only held once a year. It's really fun."

The young marquis seemed very interested in this activity, his face full of anticipation, and he ignored Xiao Lingche's murderous look.

The wife of the Marquis was quite helpless with her son, who was not proactive at all. Didn't she see how proactive Prince Xuan was?

"Yes, Qingge, since it's your first time back, you should get more exposure to the local customs and culture, and go out more often. Young people are happy playing together. If we old people go there, we might feel uncomfortable here and there, which would be a real disappointment. And with Prince Xuan accompanying you, I feel relieved."

The old lady tried her best to persuade Ye Qingge, saying that the prince had said so, and if she refused him, wouldn't it be a disgrace to him?

"Okay, Grandma, I'll go tomorrow."

She has to ask her brother to go with her tomorrow. She always feels unsafe alone. After all, what happened last time has left a shadow on her.

During the meal, Xiao Lingche kept staring at Ye Qingge. She was already embarrassed to eat big mouthfuls of food with so many people around, but he kept staring at her, so how could she eat? So she could only imitate the ladies of a wealthy family and eat in small bites. After all, with so many people watching, she still had to consider her image.

Xiao Lingche saw her expression. When she was in the palace, she wanted to eat the whole bowl of food, but now she only ate in small bites. This girl must not be full.

After the dinner, Ye Qing and his family stood at the door to see off the guests. Only Xiao Lingche was still standing there. He walked over and said to Ye Qingge:

"Tomorrow morning, I will send a carriage to pick you up."

"Qingge thanks His Majesty here, but riding in the palace's carriage is too ostentatious. To avoid gossip, it's better for me to ride in my own carriage."

"Don't worry about anyone who dares to gossip about me. It's settled."

"General Ye, Madam, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he glanced at Ye Qingge and turned away.

"I……"

Ye Qingge wanted to say something, but the man had already walked away. How could there be such a domineering person who completely disrespected other people's opinions? She was so angry.

Ye Qingge returned to the house, and Aunt Zhao from the kitchen brought her a bowl of beef noodles.

Looking at the big bowl of beef noodles in front of her, Ye Qingge drooled. The noodles were covered with braised beef and garnished with some coriander. It was very fragrant and appetizing.

"Aunt Zhao, how do you know I'm not full?"

"Miss, it's Prince Xuan. He just asked the kitchen to cook you a bowl of beef noodles. He said you must not have eaten enough. Prince Xuan is really considerate."

Aunt Zhao looked at Ye Qingge with an aunt's smile and said

"Ah...it's him."

Ye Qingge didn't expect that the prince would actually order the kitchen to cook for her, and it was beef noodles. She had taken him to eat at a roadside stall before, and it seemed that he remembered it. However, she would not be moved by a bowl of noodles.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered that her brother had not eaten yet and asked

"Aunt Zhao, do you have any noodles left?"

"Yes, if it's not enough, I'll get you more."

"Then please serve another bowl, I want to bring it to my brother."

"Okay miss"

Ye Qingge brought noodles to her brother's room

"Brother, get up quickly, look what delicious food I brought you"

Ye Shaobai, who was still sleeping, smelled the fragrance and immediately got up and walked to the table to sit down.

"What delicious food did my sister bring me? I'm really hungry after sleeping for a whole day."

"Here, this is the beef noodles I cooked for you myself."

Ye Qingge pushed the bowl in front of her brother.
