Zhong Qing (Cherish) - Chap 36
The Crested Ibis stopped among the mountains, its fiery red wings shining in the sun. Chen Xiao reset the coordinates and looked up at Tristana, who was lying on the wing basking in the sun.
“The royal family’s support will arrive in the afternoon. If we leave at night, we can reach our destination at noon the day after tomorrow.” Chen Xiao asked, “When do you want to leave?”
After a long while, Tristana replied lazily, “You fly the aircraft, and drive the road. Why are you asking me.”
“Then we’ll set off at night.” Chen Xiao said without hesitation.
Tristana snorted and murmured, “You’ve already thought about it, and you still want to ask me…”
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows. He stood under the wing, folded his arms and said calmly, “I’m just looking for an excuse.”
Tristana: “?”
Chen Xiao: “To talk to the person I love.”
“…” Tristana blushed and gritted her teeth, “Cheesy! Scumbag!”
Qin Yun placed several familiar weapons on the ground to practice assembly and disassembly and was immersed in his work. Suddenly, the cry of an electronic bird came from above his head, and an emerald fax bird flew above. Qin Yun raised his face and smiled.
Moschery’s handwriting was neat, and every stroke appeared to be extremely earnest.
“Don’t let yourself get hurt.” The Emperor’s beginning was simple and clear, “I have sent an escort for you. Remember to hide at the back when encountering problems. Don’t rush to the front like a fool.”
Qin Yun: “…”
“Think of me every day.” With a vacant line, Moschery wrote, “Think more seriously, don’t do it half-heartedly.”
Qin Yun couldn’t laugh or cry. He hadn’t expected that when Moschery said he wrote cheesy stuff, it wasn’t just a polite remark. It was really foul to write the letter like a love letter.
His Majesty the Emperor continued to write, “Zhongyan misses you very much. He plays with the crystal bones you made every day. I really want you to see how stupid he looks now, how stupid he can be.”
“…” Qin Yun imagined that scene, and his shoulders twitched as he couldn’t help laughing. He simply lay down on the grass, raised the letter above his head and read it slowly.
One-fifth of Moschery’s letter was used to inform him of the situation and to tell him not to do this or do that. The remaining four-fifths were either words of love or nagging.
Qin Yun had witnessed the Emperor Majesty’s peculiar side as a ‘friend to women(?)’…
“Today, I actually saw Skarter knitting a scarf for Lin Dongliang.” Moschery said in the letter, “He also said that he has no way to control his body temperature and that he has to rely on external objects to keep his cold neck warm in winter… What about me? Scarves are all over the streets, and he won’t buy one. Lin Dongliang wearing the ugly one he knitted would be a sight!’”
Then, the Emperor’s writing seemed to become hesitant. He scribbled and revised it for a long time before finally asking, “Are you afraid of the cold in winter? What colour do you like for your scarf?”
The mountain breeze was gentle, and the sunlight dappled through the branches and fell on the grass carpet. Qin Yun couldn’t help but cover his face with the letter paper, and his nose was filled with the fragrance of ink.
After a long time, he turned over and sat up, carefully folding Moschery’s letter into his arms.
Since Berlin was grounded, the Cabinet’s actions have obviously become much lesser. The Emperor’s statement that he wanted to find out who attacked the Queen’s spacecraft was obviously not just a talk. If he really wanted to peel off the cocoon layer by layer, the consequences would definitely be disastrous.
The Cabinet finally panicked.
First, they publicly issued a statement in support of the Emperor’s wedding, and then the royal family took back Skarter’s military power on the grounds that they needed to send someone to escort the Queen back to his mother’s home for a visit.
When everything was settled, Berlin was finally released from being grounded two days later.
His Majesty the Emperor once again graciously visited the residence of the Prime Minister. The Iron Lady’s expression was extremely unpleasant. She stared coldly at Moschery’s face, “Are you satisfied this time, Your Majesty?”
Moschery nodded indifferently, “I hope you can keep up, Madam.” He waved his hand to signal the withdrawal of the guard.
“The wedding will be held as planned when Qin Yun comes back.” Moschery ordered in a calm tone, “Please give my Queen a bigger red envelope. After all, this is only a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
Berlin: “…”
Although Paulie stayed on the Crested Ibis as a captive, her treatment was obviously much better. Tristana and Chen Xiao didn’t take her seriously at all, and the only one who looked the weakest was actually the most difficult to deal with…
When Paulie started crying again, Qin Yun had no choice but to acknowledge that this child might be made of water…
“We won’t do anything to you.” Qin Yun touched his head in embarrassment, “You can go back if you want… Should I ask the escort to take you away?”
Paulie was sobbing and wiping tears, “How could I still have the nerve to go back… Averio must have expelled me…”
Qin Yun: “Then you can go to the military headquarters. You are so capable. The military has always been in short supply of high-level guides.”
Paulie lowered her head and cried silently, giving people the illusion that she wished she could cry forever…
Qin Yun sighed helplessly and frowned, “You are embarrassing Averio like this. As the guide’s representative, is crying the only thing you can do?”
Paulie probably didn’t expect that the other party would say harsh words. She was stunned on the spot, with wet tears still on her face.
Qin Yun said with a cold expression, “The country doesn’t want to see the academy raised a trash like you. There are no tears on the battlefield. If you fail, your life will be lost. Do you understand?”
Paulie subconsciously sat upright, not daring to cry anymore. She looked at the other person with a blank look and nodded after hesitating for a long time. Qin Yun finally eased his expression. He left the food for Paulie and walked out alone.
Tristana leaned against the door and smiled when she saw him coming out, “Nice momentum.”
Qin Yun didn’t expect to be looked at by her, and he was a little embarrassed. Just when she was about to say a few polite words, she heard the female general sigh, “Finally, you have the Queen’s aura. His Majesty is really good at teaching you. Not bad.”
Qin Yun: “…”
Under the protection of the escort, the Crested Ibis arrived at Horqin Grassland at noon on the third day. However, when they arrived at Qin Yun, they discovered that their thinking was too simple… The grassland was so big and they didn’t even know where Bixi is?!
“Let’s find a yurt1 first.” Chen Xiao suggested, “People have to live somewhere.”
Tristana couldn’t help but start arguing with him again, “You are stupid! Thousands of yurts all have the same shapes, do you think you this is a spot the difference game?!”
Chen Xiao was dissatisfied, “Do you not understand the road is right under your nose2? Do you think your mouth can be used for other purposes besides eating?”
Tristana was furious, “I’m going to bite you, you idiot! It’s a pity that I only have one mouth to curse you, and that’s not enough!”
Qin Yun: “…”
The two argued for a long time with no result, and finally, Qin Yun came up with an idea.
“I think the one with the most horses should be Bixi’s house.” He found several of the largest horse farms and marked them, “We can search for these places separately… We can just meet up with each other after we find Bixi.” ”
“But…if you find her first, don’t call her Aunt or Auntie.” Qin Yun said with an extremely serious expression.
Tristana and Chen Xiao looked at each other, “Why?”
Qin Yun: “We can’t call her old anyway…”
Tristana was a little curious, “You didn’t call her mom before?”
Qin Yun said in horror, “Of course not…she will kill me.”
“…” Chen Xiao, “Then what did you call her?”
Qin Yun struggled for a while, then reluctantly said, “…Little Bixi.”
Tristana: “…”
Chen Xiao: “…”
The author has something to say:
Sorry… I’ve been as busy as a dog at the bank recently… The news about the adjustment of national interest rates is reported every day… I really can’t spare the time to type… The outline is all written…
Qin Yun will be able to regain his guide ability in five chapters. I will try my best to keep updating daily…maybe the number of words will be smaller…just think of it as a way to save money ORZ
Notes:
Qin Yun was actually telling them not to call Bixi 阿姨(Ai) : woman of similar age to one’s parents or 伯母(bomu) : polite form of address for a woman who is about the age of one’s mother
Anything but a name that indicated Bixi is old, kek
