"I forgot to tell you, I was able to go there thanks to this stone given by Guang'an, but it has a ti limit. I didn't pay attention just now, and when the ti was up, it transported back. You two must have been brought along with ," Qian Jue explained.
Feng Qingyi asked, "In the past, it only transported people, at most bringing along items they were holding. How did it bring the car over this ti? How am I supposed to get it back?"
"You were holding the steering wheel just now, so it's not surprising it ca along. It's late at night, and there aren't many people in Shengjing, so you can drive however you want. You can even take a joyride. First, drop off at the Wenyuan Pavilion," Qian Jue said.
Feng Qingyi replied, "I don't know the way. You can go back by yourself!"
"Turn left up ahead and we'll be there. Hurry up and drive," Qian Jue instructed.
Feng Qingyi had no choice but to start the car and drive slowly. The car stopped in front of the Wenyuan Pavilion.
"I'm leaving now. Guang'an won't be back for three days. If you want to find him, wait until then," Qian Jue said before departing.
After Qian Jue left, Feng Qingyi asked Qin Yuchuan, "Where should we go now?"
"There's a celebration banquet tonight. First, co back to my residence with to change clothes, then we'll go together to attend the palace banquet," Qin Yuchuan said.
Feng Qingyi replied, "Alright, you give directions, and I'll drive. I see your roads are quite spacious here."
Listening to the human navigation beside her, the two arrived smoothly at the General's Mansion.
"Co in with . There are clothes prepared for you in the Qinghuan Courtyard. I'll accompany you to change," Qin Yuchuan said, holding Feng Qingyi's hand as they headed towards the Qinghuan Courtyard.
In the Qinghuan Courtyard, Feng Qingyi looked at the various new clothes in the wardrobe, which had many more pieces than when she had co before. It seed they had acquired more afterwards.
Feng Qingyi chose a cyan brocade long dress from among them. "What do you think of this one?" she asked.
Qin Yuchuan stared at the cyan dress for a long while. "It's very beautiful. It suits you well."
Feng Qingyi pushed him out, saying, "Wait for outside the door, or go change yourself. Don't always wear your black clothes. I'm starting to wonder if that's the only outfit you have."
Qin Yuchuan replied, "Alright."
After Feng Qingyi changed her clothes and did her hair, she ran over to Qin Yuchuan's courtyard.
By this ti, Qin Yuchuan had also changed into a bamboo-green long robe and walked out of the room.
It was the first ti Feng Qingyi had seen Qin Yuchuan wear green clothes. "Does this count as couple's outfits?" she asked.
"Of course. It's getting late, we should go now," he said. The palace banquet had probably already started.
Feng Qingyi tugged at Qin Yuchuan's sleeve. "Then let's go! Our car will definitely be faster than a horse carriage, though we might attract so attention."
"It's late at night. We won't cause a commotion," Qin Yuchuan said.
Feng Qingyi replied, "Alright then, let's hurry."
At the Tianqi Imperial Palace, in the Heyin Hall.
This celebration banquet was particularly grand.
Xuanyuan Yan sat at the head seat, with several consorts seated below him. Almost everyone in the hall had arrived.
Ming Qi stood beside Xuanyuan Yan and whispered, "Yan Chi ca not long ago to say that General Qin went to pick up Miss Feng, so they might arrive a bit late."
"Go and have soone add a chair next to his," Xuanyuan Yan instructed.
Ming Qi acknowledged, "Yes, Your Majesty."
When Feng Qingyi and Qin Yuchuan entered the hall, all eyes turned to the two of them.
Feng Qingyi found Xu Linghe in the crowd and gave her a small wave.
"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty!" Qin Yuchuan bowed to Xuanyuan Yan.
Xuanyuan Yan said, "General Qin, please rise. In this battle with the Southern Frontier, General Qin has rendered great service. It is truly Tianqi's fortune. Please, be seated quickly."
Feng Qingyi sat down next to Qin Yuchuan.
After everyone had arrived, Xuanyuan Yan stood up to make a toast. All those present stood up and raised their cups to drink together.
Afterwards, various complints were exchanged, and people toasted each other.
Feng Qingyi concluded that this celebration banquet was essentially a drinking party.
Halfway through the banquet, Feng Qingyi rested her head on her hand, enjoying the singing and dancing in the hall. By now, she was feeling a bit dizzy.
Feng Qingyi turned to look at Qin Yuchuan, who seed to have drunk quite a bit of wine today.
"Are you alright?" she asked.
Qin Yuchuan poured another cup of wine. "I'm fine. Do you want to try so?"
Feng Qingyi shook her head quickly. "No, no, you drink!"
Qin Yuchuan peeled a grape and fed it to Feng Qingyi. "If you're not drinking, eat more food."
Feng Qingyi nodded. "Won't you be in trouble for drinking so much?"
"Don't worry, it will be over soon. If you're tired, just lean on and take a nap," Qin Yuchuan said.
Feng Qingyi pointed in Xu Linghe's direction. "I'm not sleepy yet. Can I go to the back and find Linghe?"
Qin Yuchuan turned to look. "Mm, go ahead."
Feng Qingyi quietly ran to Xu Linghe's side. Xu Linghe looked around and saw there were no chairs nearby.
"Qingyi, you sit here first. I'll bring a chair over for you," Xu Linghe offered.
Feng Qingyi stopped her. "No need, I'll just squat beside you and chat for a bit before going back."
Xu Linghe said, "You haven't co to see in so long. I thought sothing had happened to you."
"Didn't I tell you last ti that I went to work? Plus, I'm about to graduate, so there are a lot of things to do," Feng Qingyi explained.
Xu Linghe pointed at Qin Yuchuan. "General Qin is back. You must be very happy!"
"What? No," Feng Qingyi said softly.
Xu Linghe patted Feng Qingyi's shoulder. "I see that good things are really coming your way now. General Qin even fed you food by hand."
"Alright, stop talking about . What's the situation between you and Zhao Yiqing?" Feng Qingyi asked.
Xu Linghe replied, "What situation could there be between us? Everything's fine as always!"
"After all this ti, why aren't you willing to marry him?" Feng Qingyi inquired.
Xu Linghe scratched her head. "Actually, it's not that I'm unwilling to marry him. I just wanted to wait until you got married before I did."
"...Why are you waiting for to get married?" Feng Qingyi had never thought that the reason these two hadn't married for so long had anything to do with her.
Xu Linghe explained, "If I got married too early, I wouldn't be able to go out and play with you anymore. There would probably be a lot of things I'd need to handle in the household, and if I had children, I definitely wouldn't be able to co find you."
"...You've really thought far ahead. What did you tell Zhao Yiqing?" Feng Qingyi asked.
Xu Linghe replied, "I told him I didn't want to get married yet, and he said he was willing to wait for ."
It was good that she hadn't directly said she was waiting for Feng Qingyi, otherwise Feng Qingyi felt she might have been assassinated by Zhao Yiqing.
"Even though he says he's willing to wait for you, don't make him wait too long. Otherwise, he might fall for soone else," Feng Qingyi advised.
Xu Linghe smiled and said, "I know. He told a few days ago to let his parents co and propose marriage. I agreed. When I get married, rember to co!"
Feng Qingyi nodded. "Alright, let know when you set a date. If you can't find , you can go to the General's Mansion and tell Qin Yuchuan."
Xu Linghe nodded. "I got it. You should hurry back to your seat now. Your general has looked over here several tis already."
