Xiao Qi was covered with a soft halo, Zhao Chen sat on the ground without moving, and they remained in a stalemate until all the sky lanterns floated farther and farther away.On the top of the red building, only the rabbit lantern brought by Zhao Chen was left with a faint light.

The darkness gave Zhao Chen room to breathe, and his hanging heart was finally settled. Without seeing Xiao Qi's face, he could lie to himself that nothing happened.Like every time in the past, their relationship will still be what it used to be, Xiao Qi will not push herself anymore.

He quickly got up from the ground without accepting Xiao Qi's assistance.Zhao Chen patted his butt and said in a low voice, "Zhen... let's go first."

After speaking, he quickly bypassed Xiao Qi, and took a few steps forward as if fleeing for his life.In the darkness, he couldn't see the road under his feet clearly, so he staggered a bit.Before he could support the wall with his hands to stabilize his body, Xiao Qi precisely grasped his wrist.

Zhao Chen fell backward slightly due to inertia and hit Xiao Qi's chest.That heart was beating extremely fast, it turned out that Xiao Qi was not easy to handle, he actually had the same heartbeat frequency as himself.

"Be careful." Xiao Qi's deep voice sounded in his ear.

Zhao Chen has always thought that Xiao Qi's voice is very nice, especially when he speaks softly, there is always a special charm in it, full of masculine tension.

"I know, I know." After stammering his answer, Zhao Chen wanted to run again, but his wrist was still in Xiao Qi's hand, "Let go of me first."

Xiao Qi pursed her lips in silence for a few seconds, finally took a deep breath, and replied, "If you let Your Majesty go, His Majesty will definitely refuse to talk to me for a few more days."

"That's what you deserve! Who told you to act like a flower picker?"

"Does your majesty hate it? If your majesty says you hate me, I promise you that I will never offend your majesty again in the future."

"You...!" Zhao Chen whimpered and let out a few breaths from his nostrils as if he was angry, before turning his head away stubbornly, "I didn't."

Even in a dark environment, Zhao Chen knew that Xiao Qi must have a smile on his face at the moment, even though he didn't make a sound.The more he thought about it, the more ashamed and annoyed he became, he raised his hand and beat Xiao Qi's chest, and said angrily, "Don't laugh!"

"I don't have any." The deliberately drawn-out tone was full of sarcasm.

Zhao Chen stared at Xiao Qi dryly, thinking that he couldn't see his expression at all.After thinking about it, he held the rabbit lantern beside his face and stared at Xiao Qi.

Seeing such a scene all of a sudden, Xiao Qi couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, how could his majesty be so cute!

Xiao Qi was still immersed in Zhao Chen's cuteness, but Zhao Chen was even more ashamed and annoyed. He wanted to throw the lantern away but couldn't bear it; .

Xiao Qi knew that he had gone too far and offended Zhao Chen, so what else could he do besides coaxing him?

"Your Majesty, it's all my fault."

Zhao Chen was unmoved.

"In the future, if your majesty says to go east, I will never go west. I will do whatever your majesty says."

It's okay not to say this, but when he said it, Zhao Chen became even more angry, "Who would dare to believe you? If you don't finish a sentence, don't count, why don't you forget all these words."

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Qi said in a coquettish and soft voice, "Can't Xiao Qi change completely?" He said, shaking Zhao Chen's arm that was being held by him.

It seemed to go back to a long time ago, the little Xiao Qi grabbed his cuff like this, calling him 'Your Highness' in a childish voice, begging him not to climb so high again.It is different now, Nai Tuanzi has also grown into a reliable man, but now he has become the delicate one.

Thinking of the warmth of the past, Zhao Chen calmed down a lot, "This is what you said, don't let it happen suddenly again in the future!"

"Isn't it all right?" Xiao Qi bent over, snorting faintly on his cheeks, Zhao Chen became a little nervous uncontrollably, "For example, I now tell Your Majesty that I want... think Holding His Majesty, is this all right?"

As he said that, his hands holding Zhao Chen's wrists entangled downwards, and nimbly got into Zhao Chen's fingers, and tightly gripped with his fingers.Zhao Chen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, he thought Xiao Qi would kiss him boldly, but fortunately, he just held hands.

But things seemed to be far more embarrassing than Zhao Chen thought, Xiao Qi's approaching cheek finally fell on his shoulder.Xiao Qi pressed her chin against his neck.

Zhao Chen was embarrassed by his involuntary stiffness, he wanted to raise his hand to push Xiao Qi away, he wanted to take a few steps back to escape the current situation, but he was stuck in place and couldn't move.He even said that he was very greedy for the numbness in his heart.

He seemed to be fascinated by Xiao Qi's approaching taste, and he had a special liking for Xiao Qi's rough palms. When his hard skin touched his palms, there would always be a strange feeling that made him unable to extricate himself.

An idea that he didn't want to admit popped up, and Zhao Chen was so shocked that he broke out in a thin layer of sweat.

That's right, why did he pamper Xiao Qi all the time, even if Xiao Qi did all kinds of rude things to him, he just scolded 'Dengtuzi' and accepted everything.He is the emperor, even if he is thinking about his old love, if he really has no intentions for Xiao Qi, he would have sent people away from him long ago, how could he indulge him to belittle himself time and time again.

He likes Xiao Qi.

He did not know when it began, but there is no doubt about it now.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Qi... likes you. Among the thousand sky lanterns, nine hundred and ninety-nine are wishes for you, and I kept one for my own selfishness. I hope that Your Majesty will also have affection for Xiao Qi, even...a little bit. "Xiao Qi's voice sounded in Zhao Chen's ears at the right time, and the deep and charming voice made Zhao Chen's ears itch.

He was at a loss, not knowing how to answer.In the past, he thought he had no intentions for Xiao Qi, and every time he just put this feeling behind him, only when Xiao Qi couldn't help expressing his feelings, he would remember, oh, Xiao Qi likes me.

Now, he has understood his own heart, but...he is the emperor, can he really show his feelings to Xiao Qi and the world regardless of the face of the royal family?He doesn't seem so brave yet.

"Your Majesty, can this wish come true..."

Zhao Chen heard Xiao Qi's question, but he couldn't give an answer. He seemed to have countless worries forever. Even if he recognized his feelings clearly, he didn't dare to give Xiao Qi a complete and positive answer.

Time passed by, Zhao Chen closed his eyes, opened his slightly pale lips, and said in a trembling voice, "I don't know...Xiao Qi, I really don't know..."

Xiao Qi seemed to have expected such an answer.Zhao Chen covered his back with a palm and pulled him into a warm embrace.

Before he had time to covet this brief embrace, Xiao Qi let go of Zhao Chen, took half a step back, and resumed his familiar voice, "Your Majesty, it's time to go back."

Zhao Chen's heart was inexplicably sad, but he knew that it was all caused by his cowardice, and no one would wait forever for his answer with all his heart, even Xiao Qi was the same.

-

Early the next morning, when Zhao Chen woke up, Chang Rong looked at him maliciously, making him confused.

"Third brother?" Chang Rong approached him with a smile, "I heard that some official made the little lady happy yesterday, and a thousand sky lanterns were lifted into the sky. This is the first time that people in Qingzhou have seen such a beautiful scene! No! Do you know whose blessing it is?"

Seeing Changrong winking, Zhao Chen nodded her head, "I'm going to get married tomorrow, and I'm still like a child, but I want to talk to Mr. Gu and ask him to hire you another ceremonial mother." Take good care of you."

Changrong knew that Zhao Chen was not willing to tell the truth to her, but it was a big deal, and it was easy to guess who did it, and if he didn't deny it, he would acquiesce!

Thinking of this, after inquiring about the information, she stuck out her tongue contentedly, "Gu Lang can't bear it! Everyone is like Third Brother, so bad! You bullied Brother Xiao and Changrong."

Zhao Chen was taken aback, "Xiao Qi told you that I bullied him?"

It was just a casual remark, and seeing Zhao Chen's reaction, Chang Rong's eyes lit up, thinking there was something else she didn't know about? !

"Yes, yes! Brother Xiao Qi was very sad when he came back. That scene was really, I felt sorry for him." Chang Rong sighed and regretted, as if it had happened.

"He was with me all the time when he came back, but he separated when he went to bed. Could it be that you have entered his room? It's time to get married, and you have to go into the man's room next door. I have to have a good talk with Mr. Gu." .”

Chang Rong hurriedly grabbed Zhao Chen's sleeve, and smiled dryly, "Third brother~ good third brother! Although Chang Rong didn't see it, but what must have happened to you yesterday?"

Seeing Zhao Chen's face gradually turning red, Zhang Rong knew that something ulterior must have happened last night, and when he was about to ask, he heard Xiao Qi's voice, "Your Majesty, princess."

"Brother Xiao Qi, you came just in time! What happened to you yesterday? The third brother just blushed, but he refused to tell me."

"Long Rong!" Zhao Chen shouted in embarrassment.

Xiao Qi glanced at Zhao Chen indifferently, then turned to Chang Rong and said, "It's nothing special, the princess won't be interested."

Chang Rong was taken aback, pouted, and kept one or two from her, "I just don't ask."

"Princess, Xi Niang wants the princess to familiarize herself with the process again, presumably because she is afraid of making mistakes in the wedding tomorrow."

"Understood." Chang Rong said, "Then third brother, Chang Rong will take his leave first."

After Changrong turned and left, Xiao Qi also told Zhao Chen that he had something to do, so he turned and left too.Xiao Qi's indifference today made Zhao Chen somewhat at a loss, he almost couldn't help but wanted to keep Xiao Qi, "Xiao Qi!"

"Is there anything else your Majesty needs?" Xiao Qi turned around and saluted.Being respectful makes it impossible to pick out the slightest mistake. It is obviously the way they used to get along with each other in the past, but now they are all awkward.

"I..." Zhao Chen thought for a long time but couldn't think of anything, and finally compromised, "It's nothing..."

"Then the humble minister will leave first."

Seeing Xiao Qi's back gradually drifting away, Zhao Chen's heart felt sore as if stabbed.

The seventeenth day of the first lunar month.

Because Changrong lives in the other courtyard of Gu's family, the step of meeting the bride is saved, everything is simple, and the ceremony is completed when the worship is over.

Zhao Chen sat on the central seat, with Gu Youming's mother sitting next to him. Originally, the old man refused to sit next to the emperor, but Zhao Chen was playing the role of the elder's parents, so it was a will. Let Gu's mother not be able to refuse.

A moment later, Gu Youming pulled the red silk and satin with a long face in a red dress and covered her head, leading her to step over the threshold and enter the room.

The gold thread shines brightly in the sun, and the wedding dress is embroidered with lifelike phoenix patterns. Every step you take is like a phoenix about to spread its wings and soar high.She walked step by step, and stood still in front of Zhao Chen with Gu Youming.

Before the bridesmaid yelled out the phrase 'worship heaven and earth', Changrong's crisp voice came out from under the hijab, "Today, when I get married, I don't pray to heaven and earth, but to the emperor brother. The emperor brother is the son of heaven, and he is the heaven of Huiyang." Hedi. My father, queen, and queen have already passed away, and it was the imperial brother who took care of everything for this palace. As for the two worships, I also worshiped the imperial brother."

After finishing speaking, together with Gu Youming, they first kowtowed deeply to Zhao Chen, and then kowtowed to Zhao Chen and Gu's mother again.

The best man finally shouted out, "Husband and wife pay respects!"

Changrong and Gu Youming, each holding a piece of red silk at both ends, kowtowed affectionately towards each other.

Although she couldn't see Chang Rong's expression, Zhao Chen knew that she must be happy, and this was also a wish of Zhao Chen.Seeing his sister grow up and marry the person he likes, how can a brother not be happy.

After the wedding ceremony was over, Zhao Chen was also having dinner with the guests outside. He was a little overjoyed while drinking the wedding wine, when he saw Zhang Ren's lieutenant rush into the courtyard in a hurry.

Zhao Chen's face became serious, and he motioned for people to follow him into the side courtyard.

As soon as he entered, the man knelt straight on the ground and presented a letter with both hands, "Your Majesty! An urgent report from the border!"
