Part For Ever / Wang Ye, Wang Fei

Chapter 019 Smell of Alcohol

The cold wind was strong outside, and the three guards guarding the door had their hands and feet stiff from the cold. They just wanted to rub their hands and stamp their feet.

They turned around and saw Yan Qi standing expressionless, like an ice sculpture. They didn't dare to move for a moment and could only grit their teeth and persist.

"Shiwei Yan, please open the door. I have something to do." Bai Zhi's voice came from the courtyard.

Yan Qi turned around and opened the door.

Being banned this time was different from the last time. The prince specifically told him that if the slaves in Jiangjiayuan reported something, they must open the door in time.

As soon as the door opened, Bai Zhi's face was revealed.

The round face has a slightly raised mouth, with a bit of reluctance, and looks particularly charming and naive.

"These are for you, take them!"

Bai Zhi randomly stuffed the oil bag into Yan Qi's hand, turned around and ran away.

Before Yan Qi came back to his senses, he saw two more delicate oil bags in his hand.

The three guards next to them suddenly became energetic.

"Shiwei Yan, does this girl Bai Zhi like you? And she gives you something?"

"Shiwei Yan, you don’t talk and laugh all day long, but a girl actually likes you?"

"Guard Yan, please open it and take a look."

Yan Qi opened one of the oil packets and found that it was full of pastries. Each pastry is different, with different colours and unique shapes. They look extremely delicate and whet your appetite.

One of the guards exclaimed: "I've long heard that the princess's personal maid, Miss Bai Zhi, makes excellent salty pastries. When I saw them today, they are indeed well-deserved. Please let me have a taste."

After saying that, he reached out and pinched it.

Yan Qi moved quickly and dodged.

He said sternly: "Your Majesty ordered us to guard the door, not for fun and fun!"

The other two guards were about to make a joke, but when they saw Yan Qi's majestic expression and his whole body filled with evil aura, they immediately withered away. Hurry up and stand still.

Yan Qi wrapped the oil bag and put it into his arms. After he stood up, his face returned to its previous solemnity, but the area on his chest always felt warm.

After Bai Zhi delivered the oil package, she ran all the way to the corridor at the door of the house and touched her face. It seemed a little hot. She took several deep breaths before calming down.

In the evening, Zhao Yujiao sat in a wheelchair and personally prepared several exquisite side dishes. She also asked Hongying to dress herself up carefully, fully looking forward to Pei Xiuyan coming back to have dinner with her.

When the night grew dark, Pei Xiuyan was still nowhere to be seen.

Li Fu trotted over and said breathlessly: "Miss Zhao, the prince just sent someone to send a message, saying that he will stay in the palace tonight and will not come back."

Zhao Yujiao bit her lips tightly, her eyes were slightly red, and she felt aggrieved.

This is the first time that Pei Xiuyan has not spent the New Year with her in the three years since she moved to the Qing Palace.
