Chapter Forty-Eight: An Afternoon Stroll
't melted, hurry and deliver this to Prince Wu Xuan's residence. And remember, be sure to deliver it to the prince's courtyard." Qin Luoyan took out a few silver coins from her bosom and gave them to..."Sister! Sister!"
The sound of Wing's roar was too jarring in the warm afternoon sunlight, causing everyone who heard it to shiver involuntarily.
As Fu Zimo just stood up and was straightening his clothes, his brows furrowed, his face instantly sinking to the bottom. He raised his hand, ready to call someone, but Qin Luoyan didn't even bother with her disheveled clothes, she hurriedly grabbed his arm.
"He's still a child, he doesn't understand anything, please don't..." Qin Luoyan's voice was choked with emotion.
Fu Zi Mo coldly turned back, "Don't how, don't kill him" His gaze fell on her disheveled clothes, his pupils shrank again for a moment, "Don't forget your identities!"
Although he did so, he eventually let go.
Qin Luoyan let out a breath of relief, quickly tidying her dishevelled clothes, then dashed past Fu Zimo towards the door. As she reached the doorway, she saw Yisheng rushing towards her.
She caught Yixing, carefully pulling him in front of her. "This is the Prince's residence, don't wander around without permission, especially here, understand"
"He bullied you again, didn't he" Yisheng didn't answer her words but instead looked up and asked seriously.
Yì shēng's eyes were pure and straightforward. For some reason, this earnest gaze made her feel a little guilty. She forced a smile and touched his head. "What nonsense are you talking about Your Highness didn't bully me. Come on, let sister see if you've lost weight these past few days"
She pretended to be checking him seriously, only she knew how much courage it took to say those words.
"Sister," Yisheng glanced at the courtyard gate behind her, his eyes resolute. "When Yisheng grows up, he will never let him bully you again."
I couldn't help but smile at his words, "Oh Then big sister will wait for that day. You have to work hard and make progress quickly, so that when you become strong enough, you can protect me."
Sometimes, it's so good to have someone like this by your side! Even if something painful just happened, as long as there's a touch of care, a word of concern, all the gloom can vanish.
"I can do it!" These days, he had been serving the several guards in the front yard every day, just to learn a few martial arts moves.
“Well, I believe it!” Qin Luoyan smiled and took his hand towards the dining hall. “Don’t worry, sister has already thought of a way to leave. Sister promised the king a thing. If she does it, he will let us go. After we leave here, we’ll find a beautiful small town, and my sister will do some small business to earn some silver. Then I’ll raise you up, and save some silver for you to marry a wife.”
"Really Can we really just leave here and live together, the two of us" Yisheng was only a child after all. He hadn't lived a single peaceful day since he was born. Qin Luoyan's painted picture of their future filled his eyes with a hazy vision, and for a moment, he even felt a flicker of longing.
He had never dared to imagine that one day, he could live such a peaceful and safe life.
Qin Luo yan pressed against his shoulders, pulling him into her arms, and gave him a warm hug. "Really! As long as we work hard, we can definitely do it."
After having dinner in the dining hall and reminding Yisheng to be careful about some things in the palace, Qin Luoyan returned to her room to study the blueprints of the repeating crossbow.
The designer of that repeating crossbow's meticulous planning and ingenuity impressed her deeply. In this era of cold weapons, there were still such remarkable individuals. To be honest, if she had the chance, she would really love to meet them.
This morning, she had planned to go out and buy some crafting materials. However, she was forced to return home because she ran into people like Huyan Liuyun. She pondered over the blueprints for a while, sketching out several possible structures. The more she thought about it, the itchier her hands became, and she couldn't wait to get her hands on the materials and try them out.
After thinking it over, she still found Mu He. Mu He's wound had already been treated with medicine, although it still looked quite frightening, it was much better than the fresh blood at the beginning.
After handing the list with detailed material specifications to Mu He, Mu He quickly arranged for someone to go out and purchase them.
Those materials were quite a mess, and gathering them all together wouldn't be a quick task. With such pleasant weather, since we couldn't go out, it wasn't bad to just wander around the house.
When they were working at the studio, if the team had been working for several days straight, she, as the leader, would take them out for a hike to enjoy nature. Work-life balance is key to getting twice the results with half the effort.
There are no friends here, but the habit of work-life balance she developed at work has been kept.
The garden of the Wuxuan Wangfu was not open to just anyone, so Qin Luoyan took advantage of the lazy sunlight in the afternoon and wandered around it casually.
Such sunshine, if it were by the seaside, wearing a bikini, sunglasses, and sunscreen, lying there quietly for a while, how pleasant that would be
Thinking this way, Qin Luo'yan's footsteps felt a little reluctant to move. She looked up and saw a grove of trees in the depths of the courtyard. Fallen leaves had already covered the ground with a thick layer. As she walked over, every step she took felt like she was walking on cotton wool, soft and comfortable.
She simply spread her arms and lay face up on the ground, sending a few leaves scattering onto her. Sunlight filtered through the branches, falling on her face. She let out a comfortable groan, closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
"Are you comfortable sleeping like this"
As soon as she closed her eyes, a curious voice came from above her head. She opened her eyes and saw a man in fine clothes staring at her intently in the backlight.
"I asked you, is it comfortable to sleep like this" the man asked again.
"Comfortable or not, you'll just know if you try it yourself" Qin Luoyan frowned, then closed her eyes, too lazy to pay attention to the man who interrupted her leisure.
After a long silence, Qin Luoyan heard faint sounds coming from nearby. She turned her head curiously and saw the man stealthily mimicking her pose, lying down on the fallen leaves.
Following the sunlight, Qin Luoyan finally saw the man's face. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with delicate features that seemed to be blessed by good genes. Unfortunately, no matter how handsome he was, in the eyes of Qin Luoyan, a young woman well past her prime, he was just a boy of seventeen or eighteen.
"Well, this is actually pretty comfortable." The man lay there for a while, stretching his hand out to place it above his cheek. He watched the sunlight filtering through his fingers and laughed with delight, "I never expected you, you little rascal, to know how to enjoy yourself."
"Little girl" Qin Luoyan raised an eyebrow and rolled her eyes at him. You want to call her aunt She's way too young!
The man, seeing her displeasure, also curled his lips. "What You're just a girl of fifteen or sixteen, and I can't call you 'little rascal'"
