Chapter 1124: Playing Off
Knowing Qi Haoran well, Fan Zijin did not believe that he would get up early in the morning to watch the sunrise. As for riding a horse, how was one supposed to ride a horse when it was pitch-dark outside?
Moreover, as he came to accost Qi Haoran 15 minutes earlier than usual, he was confident that Qi Haoran would still be at home.
Mu Yangling personally came out to see him. She looked at him and said speechlessly, "Haoran went out long ago, saying that he was going to bring the children out to watch the sunrise. Didn’t he ask you to help him apply for leave?"
Hearing this, Fan Zijin glared at her and turned to leave, gritting his teeth.
Mu Yangling sighed. Qi Haoran had been too energetic recently. So it turned out he’d deliberately woken up so early to let Zijin make a wasted trip.
Mu Yangling shook her head and turned around to go back to sleep.
Meanwhile, Qi Haoran, who was riding on a horse with Baozhu in his arms, looked back smugly as he smugly led a group of guards out of the city towards the West Mountain.
Fan Zijin did not expect Qi Haoran to dote on the children so much that he would wake up so early to bring the children to watch the sunrise. Qi Xiuyuan also did not expect Qi Haoran to be such a bastard. It was fine if he did not report to the palace on the first day he entered the capital, but he did not even come to the morning court assembly the next day.
Meanwhile, those who were eager to be rewarded glared at Fan Zijin’s back.
Under everyone’s fiery gazes, Fan Zijin calmly went forward to help Qi Haoran apply for leave. Of course, he wouldn’t say that Qi Haoran was applying for leave to bring the children out to see the sunrise. He only said that it was because Qi Haoran had been traveling for days and his injuries hadn’t healed completely. However, he assured that Qi Haoran would definitely attend the Imperial Study meeting afterwards.
