Chapter 109 - 111 This Taoist is not very serious
While waiting for the Old Princess Consort to take her last medicine bath, Qin Liuxi and Chen Pi were waiting in the courtyard, with a portion of exquisite pastries each by their sides.
"Your sister is probably missing us by now." Qin Liuxi languidly sat on the lounge chair, basking in the autumn sun, half-squinting her eyes in sheer comfort.
Chen Pi counted on her fingers and said, "It’s been seven or eight days since we left the Prefecture. Mid-Autumn Festival is in a few days. My sister is bound to be longing. Master, the Old Princess Consort’s treatment is concluded. Are we departing for Li City today?"
Qi Qian stepped out of the door just in time to hear this and paused in his footsteps.
Qin Liuxi reached up to make a canopy over her eyebrow bone with her hand and looked at the sky, saying, "There will be rain in the afternoon. I’m afraid we won’t be able to leave."
Qi Qian, not sure why, felt a hint of joy and approached, saying, "Why doesn’t Doctor Qin stay in Ningzhou Prefecture City for the Mid-Autumn Festival? The City is always bustling every year during the Festival, with lanterns that are extremely exquisite and beautiful. If you stay, I will make sure you are well entertained. After the Festival, I will personally accompany you back to Li City."
"I’m just a lowly Taoist, how could I have the fortune to be personally escorted by the Commandery Prince? There’s no need." Qin Liuxi smiled faintly, "Just as before, prepare a coach and assign a driver. That’ll be enough."
Not even considering a guard.
Qi Qian said, "Doctor Qin seems in such a hurry to return to Li City, perhaps someone at home is urging you to come back?"
There it is again, probing.
Qin Liuxi wore a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, saying, "Right, I’m so handsome and good-looking, isn’t it most common for someone to miss me?"
Qi Qian almost burst out laughing, but looking at her face with sunlight shining upon it, her fair skin glowed so brilliantly that he could see the fine fuzz, and the way she tilted her chin and glanced over arrogantly was damnably imperious.
