The bodyguard wants to get on my dragon bed

Chapter 65

"Your Majesty." Xiao Qi stepped into the hall, "Prince Panruo and Chen Yushi have already left. I just received a report from the guards of the capital. They have left the capital and are heading south."

"Understood." Zhao Chen wanted to pretend that he didn't care, but he always felt that he pushed Chen Bing into the fire pit, "I really don't know if letting him go with Panruo will harm him."

Xiao Qi knew that Zhao Chen had always been a person who didn't want to see others suffer. He had tried his best to avoid the possibility of Chen Bing getting married, but he didn't expect that the two of them would meet by themselves.Chen Bing actually did not hesitate to go to another country with this person he had just met for a few days.

Emotional matters have always been uncertain, even Zhao Chen couldn't control Chen Bing's emotions.

"Emissary Chen Yu also said that this is his own choice, and His Majesty has also persuaded him. Only he can know whether it is bitter or sweet."

"Yeah, you're right. But I... Forget it, just forget it." Zhao Chen shook his head helplessly, and he was right, why did he meddle in other people's affairs.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. The Ministry of Rites has already selected a wedding date for Princess Changrong. Please take a look at it."

Xiao Qi presented the booklet in his hand to Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen roughly browsed it. The earliest date was also on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, and there is still more than one month from now, so it is enough to think about it.

"Then let's make a decision. On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, we will get married in Qingzhou. I will personally officiate for them."

"Yes."

Time passed quickly, Zhao Chen sent the best palace ceremonies to prepare for this big wedding, and he wanted to give Changrong the best wedding in the world.

As soon as the tenth day of the first lunar month arrived, Zhao Chen took Xiao Qi into the carriage to Qingzhou.

After wandering around for three days, as soon as they entered Qingzhou, they could see that this place was very different from the capital city, and it was even more lively than the capital city.

Zhao Chen lifted the brocade curtain on the carriage and saw a street vendor selling lanterns, "Why are they selling these now?"

"In two days, it will be the Lantern Festival. It is also good to attract some customers to the stall in advance."

"Oh, I was busy with Changrong's marriage, so I forgot about it. It's good to see the customs of Qingzhou during the Lantern Festival this time."

"Yes, I heard that the most famous custom in Qingzhou is to release sky lanterns. On the night of the Lantern Festival, light a sky lantern for your sweetheart, and wish him all the best for the whole year."

Xiao Qi's gaze never left Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen was quite uncomfortable being looked at by him. He covered his lips and coughed softly, and then turned to look out of the small window. Coincidentally, he saw a stall selling sky lanterns.

"It's quite beautiful." Zhao Chen said softly.

Xiao Qi tilted her head to look, as if she didn't hear it.

When the car arrived at Gu's mansion, the bright red silk flowers had already been hung on the plaque, and the whole mansion was filled with self-evident joy.Xiao Qi jumped out of the carriage first, then turned around and helped Zhao Chen down.

Gu Youming waited here with a few servants of the Gu family for a long time. Seeing that Zhao Chen finally came, he was about to salute when he was stopped by Xiao Qi, "Master Gu, my young master heard about the happy event in the Gu family today. I came to pay my respects. I wonder if I can enter the mansion for a short talk?"

Hearing Xiao Qi talk to Zhao Chen about his son, he understood that Zhao Chen didn't want others to know that he was here now.Gu Youming hurriedly said, "Please, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Chen lowered his head slightly, and walked into Gu's residence first, with Gu Youming following beside him.

"Long looks."

"His Highness is in another courtyard, so he must pester Xi Niang to change her dress, really..." Although he was complaining, the connivance in Gu Youming's eyes was not fake at all.Zhao Chen smiled from the bottom of his heart, Changrong's temper meant that Gu Youming could always follow her.

"She has the heart of a child, shall I go and see her now?"

"Your Majesty, please."

The design of Gu's mansion is also unique, on the surface it is only that big, but it passes through a slightly narrow corridor, leading to the courtyard, although it is a separate courtyard, it is more like another exquisite mansion.It is unusual that the other courtyards are even better than the main courtyard.

"Xiu Jin, good Xiu Jin, why don't you reduce your headgear, my neck is about to break."

As soon as he entered the other courtyard, he heard Chang Rong's coquettish voice from the side pavilion, and he didn't need to think about it to know why.Changrong has never loved these gold and silver pearl hairpins, and the hair accessories on her head have always been as few as possible, presumably it is because of the cumbersome wedding dress that she can hardly breathe.

"Your Highness." Gu Youming called out first, and saw that Changrong's voice was tainted with sadness, "Gu Lang! Didn't you just learn not to call him Your Highness, why now..."

The moment she turned around and saw Zhao Chen, she stopped talking, and in the silence, her and Gu Youming's faces spread rosy little by little.

Chang Rong turned around in embarrassment, pretending to be fiddling with the phoenix crown on the table, "Why don't you send someone to tell me that the third brother is here."

"Don't be ashamed, Changrong. They're all about to get married, so it's not a big deal to have a special title." Zhao Chen deliberately teased her, and sure enough, the young couple became thinner than the other.

"Third Brother!" Chang Rong said angrily.She walked quickly to Gu Youming's side, took his arm and made a face at Zhao Chen, "The third brother is jealous of my relationship with Gu Lang."

"Okay, okay, I think I'm jealous of you." Zhao Chen looked at the wedding dress in front of him. He asked the best embroiderer in the capital to embroider it with red thread and gold thread. It was so beautiful. I think it looks even better on a long body.

"How can you be dissatisfied, I see that this kind of clothing suits you very well."

"You men don't even understand. The third elder brother just feels uncomfortable all over because of Qian Duo. Look at this glittering wedding dress. It's just like this when the queen gets married, right?"

"My sister is married, isn't she worthy of the most expensive?" Zhao Chen looked at his long face and smiled, "You will marry like this once in your life. I want to give you the best. You are my only sister. Since You call me brother, and brother will present the best things to you."

Her looks are a bit suffocating, her second brother is dead, and the third brother and she are not born of the same mother, but anyone can see the true feelings of the third brother for her.As if trying to cover up the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, Chang Rong pursed his lips and said, "It's too much! The third brother just wants to trick people into crying, and I won't let you get your wish on the day of great joy!"

The men in the room all smiled dotingly, and looked at them happily. She has a husband who always loves her, and an elder brother who loves her. The happiest thing in the world is this right?

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it was finally night, Zhao Chen wanted to take Xiao Qi and Chang Rong and his wife outside for the festival, but Chang Rong refused, "Don't follow, Gu Lang and I want to celebrate the festival together!"

"???" Zhao Chen was injured for a while, and he and Xiao Qi walked out of Gu's mansion all the way, "Longrong, she doesn't want me as a brother before she gets married..."

Hearing what Zhao Chen said, but Xiao Qi knew that it wasn't true. He could clearly see Chang Rong's wink at him after driving Zhao Chen away. Thinking about it, the princess was creating opportunities for him?

"Can't you go shopping with me, son?"

"Okay, okay, okay! You are a lowly apprentice, I will remember it." Zhao Chen just holds grudges, and every time he stays alone with Xiao Qi, nothing good will happen. Take advantage.

Xiao Qi hurriedly followed Zhao Chen helplessly, "Master, it's okay if I made a mistake."

"Yeah, that's what you said. Then you have to do what the Japanese master says today."

"Your servant obeys!" Xiao Qi laughed.

"Xiao Qi, I want to eat glutinous rice dumplings!"

"Xiao Qi, I want to drink rice wine!"

"Xiao Qi, there are too many people, I can't watch the lion dance anymore!"

"Xiao Qi~Xiao Qi? Xiao Qi!"

Zhao Chen tried his best to torture Xiao Qi, but Xiao Qi didn't get angry, he did what Xiao Qi said, and in the end Zhao Chen got tired.

"Let's go, the viewing platform will be full later!" A lady from an unknown family ran past them with a smile, followed by a few maidservants, for fear of falling off his lady.

Zhao Chen became interested again, "Xiao Qi, why are they going to the viewing platform?"

"Raise the sky lantern."

"Let's go too, shall we!" Zhao Chen stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Qi's cuff to follow the lady to the viewing platform, but Xiao Qi grabbed his wrist instead.

"Your Majesty, there are too many people there, it will be bad if you bump into you. Wei Chen has found another place, let's go there and see."

Zhao Chen didn't doubt that he was there, and said with relief, "Xiao Qi is still reliable in his work, but I also want to release sky lanterns."

Xiao Qi looked around, and there happened to be a stall opposite where they were standing. Xiao Qi walked over alone, bought a lamp, and returned to Zhao Chen, "My lord, let's go."

"Okay!" Zhao Chen joyfully held the sky lantern and followed Xiao Qi to the bottom of a very tall red building. "Where is this?"

"This is a song and dance workshop in Qingzhou. I thought that His Majesty wanted to watch the lantern today, so I found someone to book it for one night. Don't worry, Your Majesty, there is no one inside."

"Xiao Qi, Zhang Rong also said how uncomfortable I am with money, I just look at it, you are the one."

Xiao Qi just smiled, pushed open the door of the red building, "Go in and have a look, Your Majesty."

When Zhao Chen entered, Xiao Qi closed the red building again.He followed behind Zhao Chen, listening to Zhao Chen marvel at the lanterns hanging in the red building, he looked here and there as if he had never seen the world before.

"Xiao Qi, you prepared this?!" Zhao Chen took off a rabbit lantern and fiddled with it a few times, but it still turned.

"Does Your Majesty like it?" Xiao Qi didn't ask for credit, but just asked such a short sentence.

"I like it, of course I like it!"

"Your Majesty, go upstairs and have a look. You can see the sky lanterns on the top floor."

Zhao Chen nodded, still holding the rabbit lantern in his hand, the more he walked up, the more he marveled at Xiao Qi's intentions.Every floor of this red building is hung with all kinds of lanterns by Xiao Qi, when did he prepare these?There was warmth in Zhao Chen's heart.

When he reached the top floor, he clearly saw an open-air platform on one side. Zhao Chen excitedly ran to the platform, climbed on the handrail and looked at the thousands of lights below him.You can even see the bustling crowd on the viewing platform here.

Xiao Qi walked behind him, "Your Majesty, do you want to raise the sky lantern now?"

"No, wait a little longer." Zhao Chen looked at the situation of the viewing platform and saw a few scattered lights floating up from there, Zhao Chen turned his head and said, "Let's go up!"

Xiao Qi lit the primer inside the lamp, and held it up together with Zhao Chen, "Does Your Majesty have a wish? Sky lanterns are also very effective in making wishes."

"Wish?" Zhao Chen frowned and thought about it carefully, just when Xiao Qi was about to say, 'If you can't think of it, let it go', Zhao Chen smiled at him, "I hope to come here with you next year to release sky lanterns. "

Xiao Qi didn't expect Zhao Chen's wish to be him. He was stunned for half a second before he heard Zhao Chen say, "Why are you standing still, hurry up, their lights are about to go up."

"Okay!" Xiao Qi hurriedly let go, and their sky lanterns trembled and flew towards the sky.

Zhao Chen lay on the fence looking at the scattered sky lanterns, and Xiao Qi also stood beside him, "Actually, I have a surprise for Your Majesty today."

He tilted his head and looked at Xiao Qi, "What?"

Before Xiao Qi could answer, Zhao Chen's face was illuminated two points by the sky lanterns rising all over the sky.He stared blankly at the countless sky lanterns rising in front of him, they were like stars falling into the mortal world.

This is the sky full of stars that Xiao Qi gave him.

"This minister not only wants His Majesty to have everything go well this year, but also hopes that next year, every year, His Majesty will have what he wants and what he wants."

Hundreds of sky lanterns reflected Xiao Qi's eyes as if fireworks were blooming. Zhao Chen tried hard to regain his sanity, but he failed.The sky lantern is beautiful, and the feelings of the young man under the sky lantern are even more beautiful, so how can he not sink.

He looked into Xiao Qi's eyes in a daze, trying to find his own voice, he wanted to see Xiao Qi as before.Zhao Chen tried his best to put on his usual smile, and joked, "I put on a lamp and made a wish, and if you put on a thousand lights, you can exchange a thousand wishes. Xiao Qi, how did you know you were so greedy before?"

"A humble official only needs one wish." Xiao Qi looked closely into Zhao Chen's eyes, "Your Majesty's wish is the wish of this humble minister."

Zhao Chen took half a step back, he was struggling to escape from the whirlpool of ambiguity between them, but no matter what he did, as long as their bodies were still shrouded by the sky lantern, he would never forget Xiao Qi's love. eyes.It would be futile for him to admit it any longer, that boy had been there all along, waiting for his response.

"Does Your Majesty like the gift tonight?"

Zhao Chen was deeply in love with him, engulfed by his heart, and the word "like" came out of his mouth uncontrollably.

He saw Xiao Qi's eyes slowly falling from his eyes, it was self-evident where they stopped.Being stared at so blatantly by Xiao Qi, Zhao Chen licked his lips awkwardly, but he still couldn't ease his emotions.

Zhao Chen raised his hand to cover his lips, as if anticipating what would happen next, his voice trembled, "Just now you promised me what you would do, and I said no—"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Qi's face gradually enlarged in his pupils, and the palms touched the soft double petals, and the electric current from the slight touch crushed Zhao Chen's whole body along the way.

Xiao Qi closed her eyes, but lightly kissed his palm.And Zhao Chen opened his eyes and felt all this in disbelief.

At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, under the sky full of sky lanterns and fireflies, on the silent roof of the red building, they are an inseparable whole between the heaven and the earth, kissing with a trembling hand.

Zhao Chen's eyelashes trembled, and he couldn't stand still anymore, and his legs slumped back on the ground.

Xiao Qi still maintained the posture just now, and Zhao Chen also stiffened the hand that still had Xiao Qi's warmth, trembling slightly, his head was full of the first 'kiss' under sobriety.Under the light, his cheeks were completely red.

The man in front of him opened his eyes, took two steps forward with his back to the light, knelt down on one knee in front of Zhao Chen, and stretched out his hand to him, "If you haven't finished speaking, don't count."
