Traveling to ancient times to sweep the catering industry

Chapter 272: Heart Begins to Waver

When Cheng Wenwen came out of the palace, she saw a man standing outside the carriage waiting for her outside the palace gate.

It’s Qi Shuo.

When Cheng Wenwen saw him, she immediately quickened her pace and walked forward.

Qi Shuo was waiting outside the palace for Cheng Wenwen's return. He was getting a little impatient. When he saw Cheng Wenwen appear at the palace gate, his worries suddenly disappeared. He walked over to support her and asked softly, "Are you tired?"

"Why haven't you gone back yet?" Cheng Wenwen already knew the answer, and her heart felt slightly warmed.

"I'll wait for you to go back together."

As the sun sets, Cheng Wenwen and Qi Shuo are walking home together.

"Wenwen, did the Queen make things difficult for you today?" Qi Shuo asked with concern, his voice full of worry and tenderness.

Cheng Wenwen shook her head gently with a faint smile on her lips: "Don't worry, I'm fine." Her voice was like a spring breeze, clear and warm.

Qi Shuo felt relieved when he saw her like this. However, he noticed that Cheng Wenwen's steps were a little slow, especially her slightly bent legs, which seemed to tell him that she had been standing in the palace for a long time. His heart tightened, and he guessed that he must have a hard time in the palace today. He felt a little distressed, and when he got off the carriage, he suddenly hugged Cheng Wenwen.

Cheng Wenwen's legs were sore, and suddenly a pair of strong arms stretched out from the front. It was Qi Shuo's embrace that gently lifted her up. His pine-like embrace made Cheng Wenwen feel extremely peaceful, and instantly relieved her physical and mental fatigue.

"Don't worry, I'll carry you home."

Qi Shuo spoke softly, like the breeze in the valley, or the gentle sound of a piano. His deep eyes were full of determination and doting. He held Cheng Wenwen tightly in his arms and walked steadily towards home.

Cheng Wenwen leaned in Qi Shuo's arms, and she felt an inexplicable sense of security. But with that came a subtle embarrassment, and she whispered, "The servants are watching."

There was a hint of shyness and worry in her words.

Qi Shuo smiled after hearing this, and that smile was as warm and bright as the rising sun. He replied: "Just watch it!"

There was a bit of uninhibitedness and calmness in his words. This instantly made Cheng Wenwen feel his generosity and courage. He was not only her protector, but also a brave husband.

The servants behind the two men also saw this scene. They all whispered to each other, with envy in their eyes. They witnessed the love between the master and the lady, it was a poetic and picturesque scene that made people yearn for it.

"My Lord and Madam are truly a match made in heaven."

"Yes, it's really touching to see them supporting each other."

"Madam is so lucky to be so favored by you."

Although these voices were small, they flowed into Cheng Wenwen's heart like a warm current. She felt so lucky to meet a man like Qi Shuo and share the joys and sorrows of life with him.

Under the night, they walked slowly back to the mansion. The twinkling lights shone on them, as if painting a beautiful picture for them. Cheng Wenwen leaned in Qi Shuo's arms, her heart full of gratitude and happiness. She knew that what she had was not only his embrace, but also his deep affection for her.

After they entered the mansion, the servants left one after another. Cheng Wenwen and Qi Shuo walked hand in hand towards their home. Their figures looked particularly warm and harmonious in the candlelight. The tranquility and harmony of this moment seemed to have become an eternal freeze frame.

Qi Shuo gently put Cheng Wenwen on the bed, his eyes full of tenderness and love. He gently lifted up Cheng Wenwen's pants, exposing her calves, and rubbed her.

He gently raised his hand and used his familiar and warm palm to massage Cheng Wenwen's sore legs. His hand was like a clear spring in the palace. Although it was in the midst of chaos, it still maintained its original warmth and purity.

"You are really good at cooking." Cheng Wenwen joked with a smile.

Her voice was as gentle and sweet as a spring breeze blowing across the lake.

After hearing this, Qi Shuo's eyes flashed with a doting smile. He gently put down his hand, his eyes full of concern: "Don't come to the palace in the future."

Cheng Wenwen was slightly stunned, then chuckled: "It's not bad to enter the palace!..."

Qi Shuo shook his head and interrupted her: "The Queen must be having a hard time with you! You don't have to endure it."

"Nothing." Cheng Wenwen chuckled in response, "I just stood there for a while, it's not a big deal."

"But..." Qi Shuo wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Cheng Wenwen: "I understand your concern, but I really haven't suffered any injustice, and the queen really hasn't made things difficult for me."

Cheng Wenwen still wants to continue to incite Xu Jiaoran to rebel! Now that there are some results, she has to work harder.

Qi Shuo was worried about her.

Seeing Qi Shuo like this, Cheng Wenwen had to change the subject and said, "Okay, okay, my legs are still sore, can you continue to massage them for me?"

"Yes." Qi Shuo nodded, and then said: "If you have a hard time in the palace in the future, don't bear it, leave the palace immediately, you still have me, understand?"

"I know. Don't you know me? I can run very fast if there is any danger!"

Cheng Wenwen leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes. Under the moonlight, the two figures intertwined, as if forming the most beautiful picture.

Qi Shuo's hands slid gently over her legs, like a breeze blowing over the lake. His fingertips rolled gently over her calves, as if looking for the pain points caused by standing for a long time. His technique was skillful and accurate, just enough to relieve the soreness in Cheng Wenwen's legs.

"Will this make you feel more comfortable?" Qi Shuo asked softly. His voice was like a whisper in the night wind, bringing peace to people's hearts.

"Yeah." Cheng Wenwen responded softly, "It's really comfortable." There was a hint of pleasure and relaxation in her voice.

Qi Shuo's fingers slid gently over her legs, as if to express his care and love for her. His eyes were full of tenderness and pity, as if the whole world had become quiet in this gentle gaze.

In this way, the two of them snuggled together under the moonlight, and Qi Shuo's fingers, like a poet's brush, gently painted the most beautiful picture in her heart.

……

In the palace, Xu Jiaoran was disturbed by Cheng Wenwen's words today. She began to think about those words. Reason told her that Cheng Wenwen was indeed right, but emotionally, she couldn't let go of the past for a while.

She was just a fragile woman who experienced such a big change in a short period of time. She never had time to relax and digest it, and she didn't have time to think about these things.

Li Zhen came and saw that her face was no longer as sad as before, but had a bit of spirit. He thought that maybe Cheng's coming to the palace had really persuaded her a little. He felt a little happy, and approached her gently, put his arm around her shoulders, and asked her in a gentle voice: "Are you happier today?"

Xu Jiaoran was thinking about something and just nodded lightly.

It was this response that brought some hope to Li Zhen's eyes. She usually ignored him, but now she was different. Was her heart beginning to waver?
