"You don't want to?" I heard a hint of loneliness in Xiao Qi's voice.
Lovers are most afraid of encountering this kind of hesitation. Once hesitant, the other party will have a wrong judgment and even doubt whether they have overestimated the relationship.
I quietly held the leaves on the tree, and kept cheering for Xiao Qi in my heart.
Xiaomei seemed to be risking her life: "Are you afraid of death?"
"What?"
"Are you afraid of death? Ajun." Xiaomei asked again.
Xia Chengjun immediately said: "I'm not afraid."
Xiaomei said: "But I'm afraid."
"..." Xiao Qi looked at her innocently.
Let alone Xiao Qi, even I don’t know what Xiao Mei means now.
"What exactly do you mean?" Xiao Qi asked slowly: "If your master objects, I have ways to make her agree. I just ask you, are you willing?"
"I...I am willing, but..." Xiaomei's voice was filled with uneasy fear.
"As long as you are willing, there is nothing impossible." Xiao Qi hugged her again and assured her firmly.
"But the palace rules and regulations are so strict. Dai Meiren doesn't agree with us being together. You are just a guard. What can you do?" Xiaomei asked melancholy.
Xiao Qi smiled conceitedly. Under the moonlight, his side face showed a look of contempt: "She is the elder."
If he wasn't hiding in the dark, I would really want to go over and give him a thumbs up. He is really so domineering.
"Can you, a mere bodyguard, compete with Dai Meiren? She is the king's concubine. If you are not afraid of her, aren't you afraid of her too?" Xiaomei asked cautiously.
Xiao Qi said: "Don't worry about this, just leave it to me."
…
"Don't look, everyone has gone away." I jumped down from the tree and patted Xia Chengjun on the shoulder. Only then did he reluctantly look away. Suddenly he turned around in a circle, which was really shocking.
He is happy.
"It's done."
In fact, if Xiao Qi wants to marry a wife, why go to such trouble? He only needs to send a word to Xia Yan, and the marriage can be granted the next day.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Shiqi did not take the ordinary path and insisted on concealing his identity.
Xiao Qi explained to me this way: "What I want her to love is that she loves me as a person, even if I am a guard, not that she loves me as a prince."
The sentence was quite convoluted, but I still understood it.
I bumped him with my shoulder: "Are you satisfied now?"
Even if Xiao Qi is a bodyguard, he has already won the beauty's heart.
Xiao Qi didn't say anything, but the smile on his face told me that now he can't wait for that day to come soon.
…
Because the matter was so small, I was embarrassed to tell him in front of Xia Yan. I only briefly described Xiao Qi's mate selection standards to him, which were not up to par. He was from a small family. At that time, Xia Yan was reviewing the memorial, without even raising his head.
He told me: "As long as he likes it."
At first I thought Xia Yan would ask a few questions, but I didn't expect him to be so forthcoming, which made me overjoyed.
What Xiao Qi means is that since Dai Meiren does not agree, then we will not be polite and directly pick up Xiaomei from the palace. If Dai Meiren wants to complain to the emperor, he will bear the responsibility alone.
.
As his royal sister-in-law, how could I let my uncle take the blame? So I more readily shifted the blame to myself.
Xiao Qi was so heroic that he gave me two words: "righteousness."
The day of elopement was approaching, and there was really nothing to do in the palace, so I regarded this matter as a pastime to pass the time.
