Chapter 503 Farewell
"How could I despise it? It's just that the thing is valuable and means a lot to you..." Feng Ming felt that the jade pendant was far more important to Yuan Qi than to him.
Yuan Qi looked away and sighed: "No matter how meaningful it is, it is already a thing of the past."
Feng Ming saw clearly that her sparkling eyes were full of reluctance, but he also knew that she was determined to give it to him, so he could not refuse: "I must accept this gift, but you should keep it for me. If I miss it one day, I can go to your place to see it, wouldn't it be better?"
Seeing this situation, even though Zhou Chang was moved, he gave up.
No matter how priceless this jade pendant is, it has nothing to do with her and cannot be used to "promote goods" in any way.
As he was talking, Feng Ming was about to put the jade pendant back into the golden nanmu brocade box, but he discovered that there was something else at the bottom of the box.
Yuan Qi also took the object out from the bottom of the box.
It is a handkerchief, which smells fragrant when unfolded.
Feng Ming and Zhou Chang recognized it at the same time.
Yuan Qi also said: "I should have returned this handkerchief to you a long time ago, but I forgot about it when I got busy."
It was a relic of his biological mother, Concubine Lan, embroidered with crabapple flowers, and was wrapped around the broken jade pendant and returned to Yuan Qi.
Feng Ming's heart moved, and he smiled brightly: "Since you gave me the jade pendant, I will give you this handkerchief. Although it is not expensive, it was embroidered by my mother herself when she was alive."
Yuan Qi was startled, and put the handkerchief back to his chest, smiling thoughtfully: "Okay, then I'll take it."
"What's underneath?" Feng Ming handed over the handkerchief and glanced inside the box. He found that there seemed to be a few envelopes bulging underneath.
Yuan Qi raised his hand to stop him: "Originally, the things in this box were all given to His Majesty, but the remaining things will have to wait until tomorrow to look at them."
"Is this a constant surprise?" Feng Ming smiled with his eyes curved. He could not compare with Yuan Qi's dedication.
"It's just a surprise. It would be meaningless if we take them all down at once. Let's leave them for your Highness to take a closer look tomorrow." Yuan Qi forced a smile.
Feng Ming just thought Yuan Qi was tired: "You must be tired, it's late, let's go back."
"Okay." Yuan Qi's voice seemed to reveal fatigue.
Feng Ming then put the jade pendant back into the brocade box and returned it to Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi calmed down, took it, and didn't say anything more.
Feng Ming smiled contentedly: "This jade pendant is valuable, and the box is so beautiful, it should be placed inside, the two are in harmony. Anyway, I can't see the rest of it until tomorrow, so you should take the box first. I'll have breakfast with you tomorrow morning, and then we'll..."
"Your Highness, would you like to have dinner together tomorrow morning?" Yuan Qi suddenly interrupted.
"Yeah, why are you not welcome?" Feng Ming said as a matter of course.
These days, they eat almost every meal together.
Yuan Qi held the golden nanmu box tightly in his arms, and finally uttered a word: "Okay..."
Feng Ming hadn't drunk all day, but seeing that Yuan Qi looked drunk, he pulled him over and said, "Yeliang, come on, I'll take you home."
Yuan Qi nodded and said nothing more, but handed the golden nanmu brocade box in his hand back to Luju.
Feng Ming protected Yuan Qi, and the two of them returned to the bedroom in silence.
Yuan Qi finally stopped at the entrance to the east courtyard of the bedroom and said, "Your Highness has been tired all day, so go back and rest early."
"Uh..." Feng Ming originally wanted to go in and sit for a while, or at least have a cup of hot tea.
Yuan Qi intentionally or unintentionally stepped aside to block him, and had no intention of inviting him in at all.
"Yeah, you too. Thanks for being busy all day today. See you tomorrow morning." Feng Ming said and had to say goodbye.
As she turned around, she saw Yuan Qi standing there from the corner of her eye, twisting the embroidered crabapple handkerchief he had just given her in his hand, and he showed no intention of entering the yard.
Yuan Qi saw Feng Ming stop and took half a step back.
Feng Ming didn't think much about it: "You should go in quickly, it's cool at night."
"Your Highness, please go first." Yuan Qi still stood there without moving.
"What's going on?" Feng Ming was surprised. The courtyard of the bedroom and the courtyard of the study were only separated by a wall, so they were really close.
Yuan Qi had already lowered his eyes, but suddenly he raised them and smiled, as bright as the stars: "Nothing, every time the prince left here, I was unable to see him off, so today I want to see him off once."
Feng Ming's world seemed to be filled with light, shining directly into his heart.
Yuan Qi's eyes seemed to have some magical power, which not only illuminated his entire world, but also seemed to be able to absorb it in.
"Okay, then this can be considered as a birthday gift for me." Feng Ming looked at him stupidly, wishing that time could be fixed at this moment, but he could only reluctantly say, "I'll go first, but you have to wait for me to have breakfast together tomorrow morning."
"Okay..." Yuan Qi's smile remained unchanged, like the morning glow.
Feng Ming felt happier than ever before, and turned around with a silly smile, taking the skinny boy back to the study. As he turned the corner, he could still sense Yuan Qi's slender figure standing at the gate of the east courtyard in his peripheral vision.
Somehow, a sense of weirdness flashed through his mind. Zhou Chang, who was watching from the sidelines, also felt strange.
Afterwards, with the help of Skinny Monkey, Feng Ming fell asleep in the inner room separated from the study. Zhou Chang no longer needed to take back control of Prince Yi's body and fell into a deep sleep.
I had no dreams that night, and when I opened my eyes again, the sun was already high in the sky.
The first thing Zhou Chang remembered when he stood up was that Feng Ming had made an appointment with Yuan Qi to have breakfast together last night.
The skinny monkey heard the noise from the inner room and brought in hot water for washing.
"What time is it now?" Zhou Chang was still confused, and Feng Ming asked this anxiously.
The skinny monkey was also sleepy: "Your Majesty, it's probably the beginning of noon."
"Noon? Why didn't you call me earlier?" Feng Ming was really annoyed. Without waiting for the skinny monkey to take action, he put on his shoes and socks, got out of bed, and put on his clothes.
The skinny monkey slowly wrung out a towel from the warm water and handed it over: "The prince didn't say yesterday that he had something urgent to do today. Are you in such a hurry? Do you want to go out?"
Feng Ming took the towel, wiped his face twice and threw it back: "Why are you going out? Don't you want to go to the princess's place for breakfast?"
In the past, every time he went to Yuan Qi's place to eat and drink, Skinny Monkey was more excited than Feng Ming.
Today, the skinny monkey curled his lips and said, "Don't be busy, my lord. We all ate too much yesterday. Besides, no matter what time it is, the princess will wait for you."
After hearing this, Feng Ming did not feel hungry anymore. He agreed in his heart, but he did not want Yuan Qi to wait any longer. He sat down in front of the bronze mirror and urged: "Hurry up, just help me tie a simple bun."
The skinny monkey followed his instructions and came over to comb Feng Ming's hair.
Zhou Chang was not in a hurry, so he was happy to continue watching.
After Feng Ming finished washing and changing his clothes, he took the skinny monkey and strode towards the east courtyard of the back hall, which was separated by a wall.
However, as soon as I entered the courtyard, I felt that the atmosphere was not right.
