Young man, please stay

Chapter 394 Busy Man Qin Lang

Qin Lang always felt that he was a busy man.

Even after escaping from the Forest of Ten Thousand Souls this time, I just took a shower or something.

As the "greatest" loyal minister beside the empress, Qin Lang began to be busy serving her in bed at night.

Not to mention that two little greedy cats joined the team right after we started serving.

By the time the three were fed, it was already the late night. Most people should have gone to bed and the Yulin guards in the camp had also changed shifts, but Qin Lang couldn't sleep yet.

Because she is also a woman, she always feels that there must be someone waiting for her.

It’s not for anything else, at least I’m waiting to go see her.

tread…

tread…

After a while, Qin Lang arrived at another relatively luxurious tent. The door of the tent was the same as that outside the empress's tent, with no Yulin guards guarding nearby.

The Empress had given specific instructions on this, and apparently it was the same here.

But the difference is that although there are no Yulin Guards, there is another woman squatting at the door.

"Huh—"

She was yawning. Although she was dressed as a maid, her attire was different from that of an ordinary maid. It was more masculine and looked very neat. This style was in line with that of a certain regent.

Secondly, her attitude, or temperament, is different from that of an ordinary maid.

He sat on a small stool, leaning against the rope outside the tent, his face full of boredom, and even holding an unknown small grass seedling in his mouth, looking very relaxed.

"..."

Qin Lang looked at her from a distance and couldn't help but smile.

……

He remembered this girl, her name was Xiangmei, also known as Mei'er, she was the housekeeper of the Regent's Palace, which was actually equivalent to a personal maid. A long time ago, when she was in the capital, she came to the Princess's Palace on behalf of the Regent to propose marriage to Qin Lang.

……

"?"

Qin Lang took a step and was about to go over, but he saw two petite figures of dogs sneaking over from the other end. After seeing Xiangmei, they gathered together like little birds and greeted each other hand in hand.

Qin Lang couldn't hear clearly what they were saying, but when he looked carefully, he saw that they were Xing'er and Tao'er.
The two men did not come empty-handed. They quickly took out a small cloth bag, which contained a three-layered snack box. When they opened it, there were some pastries.

Empress, Princess, Regent.

The maids from these three families actually came here for a small gathering in the middle of the night.

Qin Lang found it interesting and watched from the dark for a while longer. However, he didn't know what the two girls were talking about, but Tao'er started crying first.

She cried and they comforted her.

As I kept persuading her, Xing'er started crying.

From one person crying to two others, the situation started snowballing, and even Mei'er, who was relatively the oldest and seemed the most stable among the three, began to shrug her shoulders.

Although Qin Lang didn't know what was going on with the girls, the smile on his face became even wider.

It doesn't mean that he has no conscience. He takes pleasure in seeing the girl crying.

But the two girls, Xing'er and Tao'er, not only were they crying, but they also kept stuffing cakes from their food boxes with their mouths.

……

In this way, the three of them gathered together for about quarter of an hour and then it was time to say goodbye.

Tao'er and Xing'er walked the same way as when they came, stealthily and in small steps. Halfway through their walk, they were stopped by a tall man who appeared like a ghost. They hugged each other for a moment and almost screamed out loud.

However, the other party just smiled lightly and made a gesture to keep quiet, and Taoer was the first to react.

"Uncle~!"

Before Qin Lang could respond, the girl's soft body fell into his arms, and her eyes, which had just cried, became tearful again:

"Woo woo... Uncle, you scared me to death!"

Qin Lang patted her on the back and said with a smile:

"What are you afraid of? If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Did you do something bad?"

"Where...where is there..."

When Tao'er heard this, she knew that her brother-in-law had probably been secretly observing her when she was with Sister Mei'er just now, and he must have seen everything she did secretly. So she buried her little head in her brother-in-law's chest and blushed secretly, and quickly stuck out her tongue to lick the pastry residue at the corner of her lips.

Qin Lang looked at Xing'er again:

"You were scared by me too?"

Xing Er was still holding her chest as she slowly came back to her senses, muttering blankly:
"It was mainly because it was dark and I couldn't see clearly that it was Master Qin, so Xing'er just...just..."

"Oh?"

Qin Lang saw that she was cute and also felt like playing with her. He took a side step, gave up half of his arms, and teased:

"Then...you're coming too?"

"Oh..." Xing'er nodded foolishly and took two steps forward. When she got closer, she suddenly realized that Mr. Qin was teasing her. Her face immediately turned hot and she waved her hands repeatedly:

"Xing'er won't...will not come, Master Qin, you...you take your time with Tao'er..."

"?"

"Oh, that's not right! I mean... oh... Mr. Qin, Xing'er will... go back to sleep first!"

This girl is also very fun. She ran away as soon as she said that.

Tao'er, who was left behind, realized belatedly that her reaction to bumping into her son-in-law in the middle of the night might have been a little too excited, so she straightened up, shrank back and forth, and reluctantly came out of her son-in-law's arms, whispering with regret and caution:
"Sir, I'm sorry, Tao'er lost her composure and overstepped her bounds..."

Qin Lang smiled, raised his hand and gently pinched her soft face:
"You usually overstep your bounds. How come you suddenly understand the rules after not seeing you for a few days?"

As Tao'er said this, she stood on tiptoe, pursed her lips, and raised her eyelids to look at her son-in-law:

"Why did you say that to Tao'er, uncle... Tao'er has always been very well behaved..."

"Then you were overstepping your authority just now?"

"That...that's..."

Tao Er felt as if she had fallen into a trap set by her brother-in-law, and said anxiously:

"Son-in-law, you are a busy man. After returning from the Forest of Ten Thousand Souls, you were busy reuniting with your wife, then you were busy comforting Master Qianshou, then there was a banquet, and then you had to take a bath... In short, Tao'er never had a chance to see you, son-in-law, didn't she?"

The little maid's eyes also turned red when she said this:
"Son-in-law, do you think that, apart from Madam and the others, Tao'er doesn't worry about you these days?"

"Tao'er..."

"Oh, yes, there's Xing'er too! When we talked about my brother-in-law's safety in the Forest of Ten Thousand Souls these past two days, Xing'er couldn't stop crying!"

"..."

Tsk, this silly girl, why is she still talking about others? She was the one who cried the most at the beginning...

So this is what made them cry suddenly at that time.

Including Mei'er, who was probably thinking about the feelings of her regent towards Qin Lang, so she also felt a little emotional for a while.

Qin Lang felt warm in his heart, but also a little apologetic, because he had been so busy running around since he came back that he hadn't had time to consider Tao'er's feelings.

"Well, after all, I'm back safely, right?"

Qin Lang reached out and wiped away the tears on Tao'er's face:
"Everything is fine, why are you crying?"

"Because I was scared... I was scared for several days, after all..."

Tao'er got emotional and started to "overstep her authority" again. She grabbed her son-in-law's big hand and wiped her eyes with it like a handkerchief. Then she raised her chubby little face and said with a choked voice:
"After all, Tao'er will eventually marry the son-in-law together with the Madam, and Xing'er will follow sooner or later! What's more... What's more..."

"?"

Tao Er didn't say much, and then she started to feel embarrassed again. She nodded shyly and twisted her fingers together:

"…Besides, the uncle is a very good person. Xing'er and I are so lucky to have met him. We are willing to warm his bed in the future. How can we not worry about him getting into trouble…"

Qin Lang was slightly startled, but soon realized with some amusement that this girl was probably telling him she liked him in disguised form.

The so-called delicate girl's heart is indeed the most pure and sweet in the world...

"Hahaha…"

"? Aunt... Uncle, what are you laughing at? Don't you believe Tao'er?"

"Believe it. It's because I believe it too much that I'm happy."

Qin Lang glanced at the moon in the night sky, took the hand of this cute little girl, pulled her into his arms again, and then kissed her delicate forehead:
"Silly girl, everything will work out in the future. Are you still afraid that your uncle will not want you? I will give you a promise today that I will never abandon you, okay? I am really sorry for making you worry this time."

"Uncle...Uncle..."

It was the first time Tao'er heard Qin Lang say such words, and her eyes were filled with tears again.

"Okay, you and Xing'er, stop having those random thoughts and go and get some rest."

"Mmmmm~"

"Also, eat less before going to bed, or you'll gain weight."

"That... that was from the banquet. Today's banquet was full of delicious food. I only secretly saved a little... just a little..."

Tao'er felt her cheeks getting hot. Her son-in-law was really mean. He said he would never abandon her in the first sentence, but in the second sentence he actually started to dislike her for gaining weight...

But no matter what, Taoer felt that it was an unexpected gain to hear her brother-in-law make a promise today, which she didn't know whether it was true or not, and she went to rest happily.

Qin Lang turned around and continued to walk towards the Regent's tent. Mei'er, who was standing at the door of the tent, stood up immediately when she saw him. She became much more energetic and looked happy:

"Master Qin, you finally... uh... no, cough..."

As soon as the words came out, Mei'er seemed to realize something and quickly restrained her emotions:
"Master Qin, why are you here?"

"..."

Qin Lang guessed that someone must have asked Mei'er to do these superficial things, and waved his hands with a smile:
"Alright, Lord Bai is right. I will come tonight. You don't have to wait. I'll go in and see her. She might have fallen asleep waiting for me. Don't force yourself. Go to bed early."

"Thank you, Master Qin!"
