Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Dong Jiafu and Cui Qiyan returned to the inn after having lunch at Tan's house. They had agreed to leave for Beijing tomorrow.

When they went upstairs, Cui Qiyan asked, "Do you want to write a letter to tell your family in advance?"

Dong Jiafu thought for a while and nodded, "We should write a letter to tell them the outcome of the case, so that they can feel at ease."

"After you finish writing it, give it to Ji Bai and ask him to deliver it with my seal. It will be faster."

"Then it'll be hard work."

Dong Jiafu did not refuse, and went back to her room to write down briefly what happened in the past few days and the date of her return in a letter, and asked Xia Zhi to take it to Ji Bai.

When leaving on the second day, Tan Hao came over early to see him off. Originally, Dr. Tan also wanted to come, but Dong Jiafu persuaded him not to come yesterday.

After the luggage was loaded onto the carriage, Tan Hao cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Cui, Miss Dong, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. When you get to the capital, if you can find anything useful, just ask, and I will definitely do it for you!"

Cui Qiyan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's meet again in the capital."

"Brother, remember to write in. I'll be waiting for you in the capital." Dong Jiafu truthfully told the Tan family his father's identity.

Tan Hao looked at the two of them and said, "Okay, we will see you soon. Please pay attention to safety along the way."

"gone."

Cui Qiyan turned to the front and waited for Dong Jiafu to be seated firmly in the carriage before getting on the horse.

The return trip was not as anxious as the first trip, and Dong Jiafu felt much more comfortable sitting in the car.

Cui Qiyan still arranged the journey on the road. Every other hour, he would stop and let Dong Jiafu get out of the car to do some activities, and then find an inn to stay at at night.

After two days of traveling, on the third day, they met a large group of people on the road, men and women, old and young, and the road was blocked by hawkers hawking.

The carriage slowed down, and Xia Zhi opened the curtains curiously when she heard the lively sounds outside.

Dong Jiafu also turned to look out the window, and saw young people or families outside, wearing bright spring clothes, chatting and laughing with smiles on their faces.

Cui Qiyan and Ji Bai also got off their horses and asked a passerby, "Why are there so many people here?"

The passers-by glanced at them and said, "Are you strangers passing by?"

Ji Bai replied: "Yes, I wonder what special day today is?"

"It's a coincidence for you guys, today is our annual Paper Kite Festival, and everyone comes out to fly paper kites. Whoever makes the most unique paper kites, and whoever releases the paper kites that fly the highest, will get prizes. "The passer-by introduced enthusiastically.

As he spoke, the man pointed out his hand and said, "It's on a green field in front. If you are interested, you can buy paper kites to participate."

"Thank you, fellow, for letting me know." Ji Bai thanked him with a smile.

Passers-by waved their hands and hurried away.

Cui Qiyan handed the reins to Ji Bai, turned around and came outside the carriage.

"Your Majesty, can't we go further?" Dong Jiafu asked when she saw him.

"There is a bit of traffic, but you can get through it by walking slowly." Cui Qiyan said truthfully, and then added, "Today is the local Kite Festival. Since we have encountered it, do you want to come down and take a look?"

Dong Jiafu saw Xia Zhi next to her with an expectant expression, so she nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Xia Zhi happily helped her get out of the car.

Cui Qiyan told Ji Bai and Maofeng, "You two stay here while we go for a walk in front."

"Don't worry, Prince." Ji Bai looked at him and Dong Jiafu happily.

Cui Qiyan pretended to be out of sight and walked forward with Dong Jiafu.

There were more and more people going forward, and Dong Jiafu also noticed that many people were holding paper kites in their hands.

Cui Qiyan followed her gaze and said, "As the Romans do, let's buy one too."

There are many stalls selling paper kites on the roadside. They are of all kinds and colorful, which is dazzling.

"Choose the one you like." Cui Qiyan followed Dong Jiafu.

"Your Majesty wants to fly kites with us?" Dong Jiafu was surprised. She really couldn't associate him with such a thing.

"Why, it can't be done?"

"Of course not, I just thought you wouldn't like it."

"This time, that time," Cui Qiyan put his hand behind his back, "Go and choose. I heard that the person who places the highest paper kite will get a prize."

Dong Jiafu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Is there such a good thing?"

Cui Qiyan raised his lips slightly, "Want to win?"

"It should be difficult. I can't compare to the people here."

"If you think about it, it's not impossible, you might as well give it a try." Cui Qiyan said it easily, as if he was saying that the weather is very good today.

"Your Majesty, is there anything you can do?"

Cui Qiyan smiled and said nothing. He looked at the paper kites on the roadside. He walked forward for a while and suddenly stopped. He pointed at one of the paper kites and said to the stall owner: "Bring that one to me."

The stall owner hurriedly brought him the paper kite he was interested in and boasted, "Young Master has a good eye. My skill in making paper kites is the best in our place. The winner last year bought it from me."

Cui Qiyan took the paper kite and asked Dong Jiafu, "Do you like this?"

What he held in his hand was a paper kite in the shape of an eagle, which looked a little more ordinary than those in the shape of butterflies and swallows.

"Fortunately, it looks very strong." Dong Jiafu really couldn't praise anything else.

Cui Qiyan chuckled, "According to your opinion, do you want something good-looking or something that can fly high?"

"Fly high." Dong Jiafu made the choice without hesitation.

Cui Qiyan's eyes showed that it was true. She still likes to save money as before.

"Then use it."

Cui Qiyan turned to the stall owner and said, "I bought this. Can you lend me the materials you have on the ground for making paper kites?"

"Okay, okay, please, sir." The stall owner took the money very generously.

Dong Jiafu was confused and didn't know what he was going to use those things for.

I saw Cui Qiyan squatting down, picking bamboo strips and threads, and actually started to modify the paper kite.

His movements were very skillful, and he remade the frame of the paper kite in just a few strokes.

The stall owner on the side, who didn’t pay much attention at first, looked straight at him, “I didn’t expect that the young master is actually an expert, and his modifications are so subtle——”

"Thank you." Cui Qiyan stood up and handed the kite to Dong Jiafu, "Let's go and win the prize money."

Dong Jiafu looked at the paper kite in her hand repeatedly, but could not understand the mystery inside it.

"Your Majesty, can you still make paper kites?"

"When I was a kid, I wanted to figure out how this thing flew into the sky, so I learned a little bit from others. When you rescued Qiyu, the paper kite he took was the one I made for him."

Dong Jiafu recalled the situation at that time, "No wonder he was so precious that he did not hesitate to climb a tree to get it, even if he fell down, he had to protect it. It turned out that the prince made it himself."

"It was a birthday gift for him. He pestered me for several days to make him a paper kite." Cui Qiyan thought of his younger brother, "He has grown up now and is no longer as naughty as he was when he was a child. I don't know why. Yes, sometimes I still miss his old self."

"Everyone will grow up, no one will always be a child." Dong Jiafu said, looking at the children being held by their parents in the distance.
