After rebirth, she married the prince of the enemy country

Chapter 718 Did the prince ever like me?
I can't tell you what's strange, it's just a hunch.

Seeing that his gaze fell on her and he hesitated, Xu Shan had no choice but to put down the wine glass, "My lord, forgive me, I forgot that my lord is busy with work today, and I must have to deal with business later, let me drink by myself."

"It's okay," Ling Qi took the wine glass when she was about to retract her hand, "Tonight is reserved for you, and the business is almost done, so I can just talk to you."

He just thought it was because this place was too close to the northwest frontier and reminded her of Xu Hongzhong and his wife, which inevitably hurt the spring and autumn, which can be forgiven.

Xu Shan was stunned for a second, then smiled, and picked up the cup in front of her, "Let me toast the prince."

"when--"

The wine glasses collided with a crisp sound.

Xu Shan raised her head and drank a glass of wine slowly, her expression seemed quite intoxicated.

Seeing this, Ling Qi put the wine glass to his mouth, hesitated for a second, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and swallowed it.

"The wine has a rich aroma and is smooth in the throat. It's really good."

Xu Shan chuckled, "If it's not good, I wouldn't dare to invite the prince to taste it together."

"Oh?"

"I bought it once when I first got here, and I know how it tastes."

Ling Qi nodded, "I see."

The evening wind gently blows across the lake, bringing the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus from the shore, lingering in the pavilion, and lingering for a long time.

Xu Shan poured wine for him, looked up at the full moon in the sky from time to time, with a soft smile on the corner of her mouth, so that Ling Qi also unknowingly relaxed.

But he wasn't completely absorbed in the night.

Just when he had considered his language and was about to speak, he suddenly heard the person opposite him say softly, "Do you still remember the first time we met, my lord?"

Ling Qi was stunned for a moment, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he didn't speak.

"It was also such a night," Xu Shan said to herself, as if she didn't need his answer, "There was a bright moon, and there was a handsome young man walking in the moonlight, and he drove away the drunk and troublesome young master with a few words.

Since then, I have had that shadow in my heart. "

The past is vivid, but how could Ling Qi, the planner, not remember it?
"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Seeing that she had already drunk three cups, Ling Qi stretched out his hand to hold her wrist.

Xu Shan's eyes turned slightly, she looked at him, and shook her head, "It's okay, it's just that I feel a little emotional seeing the moonlight like this again."

Ling Qiwang looked into her eyes, but those bright eyes were deeper and unpredictable than ever.

"My lord, I have always had a question, and now I want to ask it with the help of Jiu Jin."

Ling Qi looked at her steadfastly, his thin lips parted slightly, "You ask."

"Did your lord like... me?"

When Xu Shan spoke, she covered her stomach with her hands calmly, resisting the colic inside, so as not to let the other party see it.

"Why do you ask this question?" Ling Qi didn't answer her directly, lowered his eyes to avoid her gaze, and wanted to withdraw his hand.

"My lord," Xu Shan suddenly grabbed his wrist, "I want to know."

She looked serious, with a stubbornness he had never seen before.

In the past, she was always considerate and gentle in front of him, and he never said much, which made Ling Qi very uncomfortable.

In the end, she still followed her words, "Of course I like it, otherwise, how could you be the only one in the Su Palace for so many years?"

He held her hand back and rubbed it in the palm of his hand, "Why do you always think about it lately? Did someone say something in front of you?"
