After much fussing and fussing, when we returned to Chang'an, the lights were already starting to turn on.

At this moment, Qin Cang, who was already low on energy, would definitely not be able to muster the energy to summon them.

So the group of people were arranged by the Ministry of Rites in a separate courtyard near the root of the imperial city.

Yun Xihe naturally returned to her princess's mansion, and Qin Xuanling followed her, but when he walked to the palace's annex, he turned around and followed her back to the princess's mansion, saying nothing but a meal.

During this period of time, there was no one else in the princess's mansion except the servants, and it had been deserted. Now that the people came back, there was a little more warmth.

After Xiaomei injured an arm, Yun Xihe asked her to take good care of the inner house in the mansion. She also took care of everything in order. As soon as Yun Xihe entered the courtyard, she greeted him, "

My lord and princess, you have been traveling so hard all the way, so please go to the flower hall to have a meal first."

Yun Xihe nodded and walked straight towards the flower hall, not forgetting to tell Xiaotao and the others to trim it too.

The dinner was very sumptuous. I don’t know whether it was to wash away the dust for Yun Xi and Jie Feng or to celebrate Qin Xuan Ling. With a table full of hard dishes, Yun Xihe was slightly full after eating, so he stopped using his chopsticks and saw that it was still early.

Then he asked people to move two rocking chairs and put them on the pavilion on the water.

The little civet cat had been raised by her for a few days, and it had already recognized its owner and kept whining. Xiao Tao had no choice but to hug the cat over. It meowed around Yun Xihe and meowed a few times.

, then he lay obediently at her feet, his whole body curled up into a ball, blending into the night.

Yun Xihe squinted her eyes, feeling very comfortable at this moment. If her life could continue like this, she would feel that her life was complete.

The moon was sparse and the night was beautiful. Qin Xuanling glanced at the little civet coolly and said, "You actually brought this little thing back."

Yun Xihe chuckled lightly, "Maybe this is fate, so I have always carried it with me."

As he was talking, he thought again, "Ah, I haven't given it a name yet... What do you think it should be called?"

Qin Xuanling silently glanced at the dark little civet and said, "Call it Black Carbon."

"..." Yun Xihe's eyebrows twitched and he looked at him silently, "Isn't this... not good?"

Qin Xuanling raised his eyebrows, "Does it live up to its name?"

Yun Xihe's mouth twitched: "..."

She lowered her eyes and glanced at the little civet at her feet, "After all, it's a rare breed of little civet. This name is too unpretentious."

Qin Xuanling thought for a while, and his eyes lit up, "Awesome? Why not call him Yide... There is a saying in ancient books that Zhang Yide is holding a snake spear that is eight feet long, and he is so majestic..."

Yun Xihe's mouth twitched. He didn't know that he had such a bad taste in naming. Somehow, he suddenly thought of what they said that night. He just thought that if he has a child in the future, he must not

Let Qin Xuanling name it.

But at the moment, looking at Qin Xuanling's cheerful look didn't dampen his mood.

So this little civet cat, not much bigger than a palm, finally had its own name, Yide.

Yide is a very humane little civet. He raised his head and meowed to express his protest, but Qin Xuanling smiled and reached out to touch its head, "It seems that it really likes this king's choice."

name."

Yun Xi's forehead twitched: "..." He was even more determined not to let Qin Xuanling name his children in the future.

The two of them lay quietly on the rocking chair and stared at the starry sky for a while. Qin Xuanling suddenly reached out and touched her finger. Yun Xihe looked at him sideways, "What's the matter?"

Qin Xuanling said, "Tomorrow in the Jinluan Palace, when the emperor makes his decision, you will be my princess."

Yun Xihe felt his chest was hot and itchy. He turned to look at him, the water in his eyes seemed to be broken by the moonlight, "Then the prince must treat me well."

Qin Xuanling felt the love in her words and the woman's lifelong trust. He couldn't help but smile. He reached out and took her fingers, rubbed them in his palm, and said solemnly, "That's natural..."

.In this life, I only want to be with you for the rest of my life..."

Yun Xihe chuckled, "Then I will take it seriously... If you want to take a concubine in the future, I will tie you up and lock you in a house so that you can only see me every day."

one person."

Qin Xuanling exclaimed, "The beauty is hidden in the golden house... Xihe has such great ambitions."

Yun Xihe yawned, feeling a little sleepy, "Don't believe me, I will do what I say."

Qin Xuanling thought about it and seemed to think that such a life would be great, and even looked forward to it, "I don't want to see other people."

Yun Xihe: "..."

Qin Xuanling reached out and touched her hair, his eyes were as tender as the sea, which could drown the entire starry sky, "Xihe, go to sleep... the days are long."

——

The next day, everyone met the saint in Changle Palace at Youshi.

The Changle Palace was magnificent and grand, and a banquet had already been prepared. Under the guidance of the eunuch, everyone bowed and took their seats one by one.

The banquet in the palace was as gorgeous as usual. Various fireworks had begun to be set off outside. Jade plates of delicacies were served on the table, and everyone was in high spirits.

What a happy day.

However, after not seeing each other for a few days, Qin Cang seemed to have aged ten years. His steps were sluggish, his face was gray, and his eyes were black. Even when he walked, he was trembling and needed support. Just sitting there could not help him.

He was gasping for breath, and only after Eunuch Tian came forward with a golden pill and helped Qin Cang take it, he regained his energy a little.

The end of the strong crossbow.

This word flashed through Yun Xihe's mind for a moment.

Your Majesty, what's going on?

She cast an inquiring look at Qin Xuanling, and Qin Xuanling returned her a reassuring look.

Tuoba Kui on the side took all this into consideration, raised his hand to pick up the wine glass in front of him, covered up the cold smile on the corner of his lips, and drank it down in one gulp.

After three rounds of drinking, the harmonious atmosphere of the banquet has reached its peak.

Qin Cang cleared his throat and said slowly,

"Everyone here is the best who has stood out from the six arts competition! I look at them, they are all...hehe...they are all good...Xihe, this

Do you have someone in mind among you?"

Yun Xihe raised his eyebrows and smiled, stood up and saluted, "When I return to the emperor, I have received the favor of the Queen Mother to find a bride and a son-in-law for my daughter. I am very happy and grateful."

Qin Cang tremblingly stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, "Xihe, I know that you have always understood the general situation...Don't be shy, I am here today, I will grant you a marriage...

..”

As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Tian beside him picked up a bright yellow imperial edict and spread it out in front of Qin Cang.

The imperial edict had already been stamped with the emperor's seal, and a long scroll was filled with beautiful words. Only the name was left blank. He was just waiting for his answer before Qin Cang took up his pen and added it.
