"It's late at night. Let's go to bed early. I thought I had something to do in the study, so I went back first." Qi Zhen tucked Linglong into bed and avoided Linglong's gaze when speaking.

He didn't dare to look into her eyes, so he stood up and left the inner room in a hurry.

Linglong looked at his retreating back, her eyebrows drooped and she couldn't distinguish happiness or sorrow.

She was willing to believe him, so she believed him tonight when he said it. She just hoped that he would not betray her trust.

After working hard all day today and having this scene again at night, Linglong was extremely tired. After Qi Zhen left, Linglong nestled in the quilt and fell asleep soon after.

When I woke up again, it was already bright.

Luoxia lifted the bed curtain from outside and called her to get up.

"Miss, it's time to get up. If you get later, I'm afraid it'll be past lunch time when you get to the Hou's Mansion." Luoxia said as she went to prepare Linglong's clothes and makeup for her return to the Hou's Mansion today.

"Oh, what time is it? I have to go back to the Marquis Mansion today, but I overslept?" She seemed to have completely forgotten the tears and grievances she felt yesterday, and there was a smile on her lips as soon as she woke up.

"It's the end of Chenshi, so it's not that late. You're up now, just in time for lunch at the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion." A cold voice sounded outside the bed tent, it was Qi Zhen.

It was rare for Linglong to see Qi Zhen after waking up. She was a little puzzled, so she lifted up the bed curtain and asked Qi Zhen, "Why is your husband here at this hour?"

It was already bright outside. Qi Zhen, dressed in ordinary casual clothes, was leaning against the soft couch. He was flipping through the book that had been brought by Juan Linglong in his hand. He looked up at her casually and said leisurely: "Waiting to accompany you back home."

After Linglong was sent to Nanyuan, she has been imprisoned in Nanyuan together with Qi Zhen. She has not been back to Ning'an Marquis Mansion for three years, so naturally she has missed the gift of returning home.

According to Daye's rules, only the first wife can return home accompanied by her husband.

Qi Zhen said this, Linglong was naturally happy.

She bowed her head shyly, with a smile on her lips. She seemed to not be able to remember the tears and grievances she felt yesterday.

Silly girls are always like this, thinking about the good things about their husband and not remembering about his bad qualities. But even though there are such good girls, some people cannot learn to cherish them.

"What clothes do you want to wear, Miss? I will fetch it for you." Qiu Shui said outside by the suitcase.

After hearing this, Linglong glanced outside, thought for a while and said, "I remember that there was a red dress embroidered with wintersweet in the suitcase, just that one."

Luoxia on the side thought deeply after hearing this.

The red dress embroidered with plum blossoms is really red. Wearing true red in this twelfth lunar month is something only a serious wife can wear. Would it be inappropriate for my lady to wear it?

But while she was hesitating and thinking about it, Qiu Shui had already taken the dress and sent it to Linglong's bed.

Now that she had taken it out, Luoxia was afraid that if she spoke any more, she would make Linglong sad, so she stopped talking and did not stop her.

She was just thinking about a piece of clothing. There should be no one looking at it and making a fuss about it. Today she was going back to the Marquis's Mansion. The Marquis' Mansion was the lady's natal home and not somewhere else, so there was no need for such scruples.

Linglong put on her dress inside the bed tent, lifted up the bed tent and walked out slowly.

Qi Zhen heard the sound and looked sideways. In front of him was Linglong, who was wearing a red dress and a bright smile. She asked him with a smile: "Husband, does this dress look good?"

Qi Zhen clenched the storybook in his palm, and a scene from his dream flashed before his eyes.

The woman whose golden hairpin was stained with blood under the gate of Luoyang City was also dressed in red.

Qi Zhen felt a faint pain in his heart, and his face turned pale.

Linglong noticed his expression and was stunned. She held the dress at her hand tightly and asked, "What's wrong? Your Highness doesn't like it? Or does Linglong not look good in this dress?"

Don't you like it? Qi Zhen knows, no. He likes it very much. Even though his heart aches, the throbbing is not fake at all.

Isn't it bad-looking? Qi Zhen knows, it's not the case either. She is born bright and should be dressed up in a pretty way, and it should be such a bright and bright color to match her.

Qi Zhen lowered his eyes slightly, suppressed the complicated and unspeakable emotions in his heart, and said warmly: "It's very beautiful, that's all."

Linglong's eyebrows lit up with joy when she heard this and she bent her eyes.

"Then take this, Qiushui, and dress it up for me."

After Linglong freshened up and dressed up, the two of them had breakfast in the snow courtyard, then left and got on the carriage to go to Ning'an Marquis Mansion.

The carriage drove from the East Palace to the Ning'an Marquis Mansion, passing through lively markets along the way.

The streets in the capital were very lively, and Linglong could hear the bustle and bustle in her ears. It was rare that she didn't open the car curtain and look outside.

Also, with Qi Zhen in front of her, how could she have the heart to watch the excitement on the street?

Qi Zhen leaned against the car wall and closed his eyes to sleep. Linglong held her forehead and looked at him, her eyes shining brightly.

"What are you looking at me doing?" Qi Zhen opened his eyes because of her burning gaze.

"Your Highness is very handsome." Linglong said with a smile.

When Qi Zhen heard this, he looked at Linglong carefully and replied: "She is not as beautiful as Linglong." His words sounded serious.

His appearance made Linglong laugh.

Linglong rested her face on his lap, smiled and shook her golden hairpin, and raised her hand to caress his eyebrows.

"Your Highness is very good-looking. Linglong fell in love with her at first sight." Her words were gentle, but her eyes were pious.

Qi Zhen shook his head and smiled: "Really? The first time you saw me, it must have been half a month after the wedding. It must have been the time when I was lying in bed recuperating. I looked haggard and violent at that time, even I looked at it If I am not as good as the person I was then, is it possible that you like me like that?"

Linglong smiled and shook her head.

Qi Zhen's eyes dimmed a bit, and he said in a cold voice: "It's okay if you don't like it."

Linglong still shook her head.

Qi Zhen frowned slightly and raised his eyebrows in confusion. He didn't understand what Linglong meant.

The exquisite fingertips gently stroked the wrinkles of Qi Zhen's eyebrows and whispered softly.

"The first time I met Your Highness was on the night of the Yuan Dynasty five years ago."

Five years ago? Linglong was thirteen years old and Qi Zhen was nineteen.

But he never remembered when he had seen Linglong.

Linglong also knew that Qi Zhen could not remember himself five years ago.

To her, she had a sudden glance and had missed him for several years. To him, it was just a chance encounter and he had long been forgotten.

"Your Highness, do you still remember that five years ago, you saved a girl from a random arrow in the capital?" Linglong asked.

Qi Zhen frowned and thought carefully, but he remembered this happened.

At that time, he had just finished a major case, and when he returned to the capital incognito, he was assassinated as soon as he entered the capital. He vaguely remembered that a little girl's carriage was very similar to the carriage he took back to the capital incognito. Those people probably couldn't tell which carriage he was in, so they shot randomly, shooting both their own carriage and the little girl's carriage.

The little girl suffered disaster because of his unreasonableness, so Qi Zhen couldn't help but save her, so he rescued her, took her deep into the alley, and hid her in a safe place.

The situation was chaotic at that time. Although Qi Zhen took the little girl to escape, in order to avoid suspicion, he did not lower his head and take a closer look at the little girl's face. Therefore, he only remembered this incident but had long forgotten what the girl looked like.

But I didn't expect it to be Linglong.

"It turns out it's you. It's a coincidence." Qi Zhen murmured.

After hearing what he said, Linglong muttered: "It's more than just a coincidence."

Her voice was a little low, and Qi Zhen couldn't hear it clearly, so he asked: "What."

Linglong held her face in her hands and smiled, but said: "I said, my husband and Linglong need to be together for a long time to live up to this relationship."

Qi Zhen nodded with a smile and let her speak.

She rambled a lot, and Qi Zhen listened with a smile. The two of them laughed and laughed, and after a while, they arrived at the Ning'an Marquis Mansion.

Qi Zhen informed Ning'an Marquis Shenluan in advance that Linglong was going back to the Marquis Mansion today.

Therefore, the people of Marquis Ning'an were waiting outside the gate of the mansion early.

"Your Highness, Miss, we are here."

The carriage stopped, Qi Zhen dismounted first, then turned around and led Linglong down.

An exquisite hand rested on his palm, one slender and the other petite, which matched each other particularly well.

Among the people waiting outside the gate of the mansion, apart from the servants of the Manhou Mansion, there were only two masters, the Marquis of Ning'an, Shen Luan, and his wife.

These slaves secretly looked at the two people in front of them, and when they saw Linglong wearing red clothes, they all thought in their hearts that the concubines in this house were really lucky, and by some combination of circumstances, they had achieved extraordinary wealth.

"I, along with my humble wife and domestic servants, are here to see Your Highness, Your Excellency." Shen Luan bowed and saluted.

Linglong's title has not yet been determined, so this title of "noble" is indeed the most appropriate title.

"Master Hou, there is no need to be polite. Today is a family banquet. Just treat Gu as a junior." Qi Zhen said with a gentle face.

Several people stepped into the Hou Mansion together, and Mrs. Hou felt a little embarrassed.

She did what she did by letting her concubine marry on behalf of her legitimate daughter, which severely damaged Qi Zhen's face. Now that Qi Zhen's throne has been restored, she is naturally embarrassed.

Qi Zhen saw something wrong with Mrs. Hou's expression and didn't want to embarrass her. In addition, he did have some things to discuss with Shen Luan during his trip. Linglong and Mrs. Hou couldn't speak at all, so he opened his lips and said, "I'm lonely." We need to discuss the matter with Mr. Hou, so Linglong will ask Mrs. Hou to take care of her."

After saying this, Qi Zhen and Shen Luan walked to the study together.

Linglong and Mrs. Hou stood on the stone road in the mansion, looking at each other speechlessly.

In fact, Linglong had very little interaction with Mrs. Hou. She was already thirteen years old when she came to the capital. Previously, she only remembered her eldest sister among the so-called family members in the capital. As for her aunt's mother and biological father, Linglong had no memory at all.

Mrs. Hou also had complicated feelings towards this concubine. She originally thought that Linglong and Qi Zhen would be trapped in Nanyuan for the rest of their lives, but she never thought that she would see the two of them again in her lifetime. She felt both embarrassed and embarrassed. Have regrets.

Linglong looked at her aunt's expression and thought that she was going to see her sister. She pursed her lips and said, "Madam, I heard from my cousin that my sister's health is not good now, and I want to see her."

When she mentioned her biological daughter, Mrs. Hou's eyes darkened.
