Chapter 90 I knew he wouldn't break his promise
He said to her, "So, it depends on your performance in the future. Are you thinking of fooling me just by being gentle for a while?"

Qin Xiaoning was so angry that her face swelled up like a little pufferfish: "Lu Ji, you are going too far."

She rolled her eyes at him hatefully, then lay down angrily, leaving only her back to him, and said angrily: "Anyway, I'm putting this out there. If you don't take me with you, don't even think about touching me again in the future."

"Threatening me again?"

Lu Ji glared at her back, which rose and fell due to anger, and smiled mischievously: "Can you let this happen?"

The little woman got into the quilt in anger: "Humph! I will never talk to you again."

If he really didn't take her out, she would really ignore him.

He had clearly promised something good, but he actually went back on his word. She would never forgive him.

She had been looking forward to this journey for so long.

He really didn't care about her mood at all.

The thought made her sad.

She actually cried.

Covered in the quilt, she choked up and said, "Lu Ji, I mean what I say. If you break your promise, I will never be with you again."

Seeing this, Lu Ji sat back on the bed, pulled back the quilt, and exposed the little woman: "Are you bored?"

The little woman ignored him, pouted, and tried to get deeper into the quilt. She looked angry and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Lu Ji was happy: "You are already seventeen, not a child anymore. Women your age are already able to manage a household independently. Who is like you, who only thinks about playing all day long?"

She ignored him and turned away angrily.

"Are you really angry?" he pushed her.

She turned around and said, "If you break your promise, I will never talk to you again."

Lu Ji's brows turned cold: "You know, I hate it most when people threaten me."

She also turned cold: "You should also know that I hate men who don't keep their promises the most."

The two were chatting here when there was a knock on the door. It was Songzhi.

"My Lord, Butler Chang is here and said that the craftsmen have finished making the car and have delivered it to you, waiting for you to inspect it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ji replied, "I understand. Tell Desheng, I'll go over and take a look."

Qin Xiaoning turned around immediately after hearing this, with a gleam in her eyes, and asked Lu Ji: "What car?"

Lu Ji glared at her: "It's none of your business."

As he said this, he stood up and was about to leave, but was caught by Qin Xiaoning: "What kind of car is this? For the southern tour? Aren't you used to riding a horse? Who is this car for?"

As she spoke, the little woman had already stood up, put on her clothes neatly, and almost trotted out of the house.

In the past, after every incident, this little thing would complain about being tired and in pain, and would stay in bed and refuse to get up. This is the first time I have seen her so energetic.

Lu Ji glanced at her anxious little back and couldn't help laughing.

"Songzhi, what car did you just talk about?" After leaving the house, Qin Xiaoning pulled Songzhi and asked, "Did the prince order someone to build a car?"

"I don't know the inside story." Songzhi pointed outside the door and said, "Brother Chang came to look for the prince and asked me to pass on a message."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoning immediately let go of the pine branch, ran outside in three or two steps, and asked anxiously when she saw Desheng, "The prince has built a car? What is it for?" Desheng first bowed to Qin Xiaoning, then slowly replied, "The prince is going to take Miss Qin to patrol the city in the south in a few days. A few months ago, he ordered me to find a skilled craftsman to build a large car. It has just been delivered to me. I want to invite the prince to take a look and see if he is satisfied."

It turned out that this guy wanted to take her there in the first place, and he was just bluffing her just now.

Qin Xiaoning happily ran back to the house when she heard this. Seeing Lu Ji walking out, she jumped into his arms and kissed him on the face: "How can you be so nice?"

Lu Ji glared at her and said, "Be careful of the impact."

Desheng took the two of them to see the car. Along the way, Qin Xiaoning never let go of Lu Ji's hands under her wide sleeves. She held his hand tightly, and the smile on her face was so sweet that honey could drip out.

The craftsman, under Lu Ji's order, built a very spacious carriage for Qin Xiaoning. When he met the young master of the Lu family, he came over to greet him and introduced him, "Young master, this carriage is made of fragrant wood. When you sit inside, the fragrance lingers. It's so comfortable to smell. And the wheels are covered with gum, so it doesn't shake when running. Our ancestors were direct disciples of Lu Ban. This craft has been passed down from generation to generation. The carriages they made are the best."

Listening to the craftsman's chatter, Lu Ji didn't respond. He just asked Qin Xiaoning beside him, "Are you satisfied?"

Qin Xiaoning nodded repeatedly, holding Lu Ji's small hand under her wide sleeves, tighter and tighter.

Five days later, Lu Ji set off with Qin Xiaoning.

It was her first time to travel far away. After getting on the car, the girl opened the window and looked around excitedly outside.

Lu Ji rode in front of her and glanced at the little head sticking out of the carriage. He turned back and asked her, "Didn't I tell you to wear a veil?"

Qin Xiaoning grumbled at him: "You can't see clearly with that thing on."

"What's there to see?" Lu Ji said, and got off the horse. He didn't ask the driver to stop the car. He took a long step and got on the carriage. He sat down next to the little woman and closed the window. "It's not like you haven't been out of the mansion before. Are these things in the capital worth your attention?"

Then he reminded her, "When you get off the train at the post station at night, remember to wear your veil."

"I know." She said impatiently.

Lu Ji glanced at her cold little face and said, "If you are bored, I will play chess with you."

"No." She said, "I can't beat you."

The two were talking when they heard the loud sound of gongs and drums outside. Qin Xiaoning quickly opened the car window and went to see the excitement.

It turned out that the scholars who had passed the imperial examination were riding horses and parading through the streets.

The scholars were dressed in red robes, wearing red flowers on their heads, and riding tall horses tied with red ribbons, looking very proud and happy.

Both sides of the long street were filled with pedestrians stopping to watch. Pretty girls would occasionally throw embroidered ribbons and sprinkle perfumed powder at the successful candidates. The sound of gongs and drums and cheers continued, making the scene lively and beautiful.

"very nice?"

Qin Xiaoning was watching the excitement when she heard the cold voice of the person beside her. She immediately turned around and saw that Lu Ji looked unhappy. She forced a smile at him and said, "It's just a parade of successful scholars."

"Shen Qingshu, the top scholar, please accept my sachet and come to propose marriage."

The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were relatively open-minded, and there was a tradition of seeking a husband based on the results of the imperial examination. Whenever the results were announced, the girls waiting to be married were the most active.

Hearing the women outside calling Shen Qingshu's name from time to time, Qin Xiaoning quickly raised her hand and closed the car window.

I raised my eyes to look at Lu Ji again, his face was frighteningly dark.

Qin Xiaoning quickly explained: "I, I was just watching the fun, not going to see someone on purpose."

"Then why did you suddenly close the car window?" He stared at her with deep eyes and said in a cold voice: "You are trying to hide something, but it only makes it more obvious?"

　I was locked in a small dark room in the last chapter. I guess I have to wait before I can be released.
