Princess Xiangsi - Chapter 92
Qingyun turned around and her gaze fell on the woman in green in the corner.
She has regular features and a delicate appearance. Hmm... she looks somewhat like Zi Yi!
"Qingyi..." Qingyun called softly.
"Yes." Qingyi was somewhat delighted; she hadn't heard the princess call her name in a long time.
Qingyun smiled and said, "When your mother gave birth to you, she must have been wearing a light blue silk dress."
The woman in green was stunned, her mouth agape in surprise, "How... how did Miss Qingyun know?" Wasn't the princess suffering from amnesia?
"Hehe." Qingyun covered her mouth and chuckled. "My maid is named Ziyi, and she said that's how she got her name. I think you must be the same way! Does Qingyi know Ziyi?"
Qingyi bit her lip and glanced at Li Ge. Then she shook her head vigorously.
"You don't know her? That's a real pity. I'll introduce you to Ziyi sometime, and you two will definitely become very good best friends." Qingyun smiled.
Suddenly, Qingyun changed the subject, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.
"Qingyi looks familiar! Have I met Qingyi before?"

The woman in green shook her head frantically, cold sweat pouring down her forehead.
"No! But I feel like I've seen Qingyi somewhere before! Let me think... Hmm... Where?" Qingyun turned her head and looked at Lige. "Lige, have we met Qingyi before?"
"No." Li Ge suddenly reached out and pulled off the jade crown that bound her hair, and a head of jet-black hair fell like rain, brushing against Li Ge's slender fingers. "Woman, you really are not suited to cross-dressing."
"Hey! Stop messing with my hair!" Qingyun puffed out her cheeks and casually ripped off the ribbon binding his hair. A gentle breeze stirred, and Li Ge's dark hair, mixed with a few snow-white pear blossoms, danced in the air, a striking contrast of black and white.
With his red lips, white teeth, and a face as handsome as jade, his flowing black hair possessed a captivating charm. Qingyun was momentarily lost in thought, and then suddenly, she muttered something to herself.
"More womanly than a woman."
Li Ge looked at her with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, his eyes still filled with doting affection.
The woman in green looked at them with a smile.
If she could, she would love to paint this breathtakingly beautiful scene. The princess and the young master Li Ge's hair were intertwined, their eyes brimming with smiles, sharing a silent happiness.
After dinner, Qingyun and Lige left the bamboo house and took a walk in the pear blossom grove.
There is no moon tonight, and the sky is filled with dark clouds, with only a few stars visible. But at this moment, the pear blossom grove is ablaze with red, dispelling the boundless darkness and bringing a warmth to the heart.
When Qingyun saw the scene before her, her eyes widened in surprise. She turned to stare at Lige, her joy evident, and a slight smile played on her lips. "Lige, how did you come up with this idea?"
Amidst the snow-white pear blossoms, a rosy glow permeated the air. Each pear tree was adorned with a red lantern, the warm red contrasting beautifully with the soft white blossoms.
“Light is the easiest way to dispel darkness,” Li Ge said softly.
Qingyun's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough...
"You're most afraid of the dark, woman. It's so dark tonight. What if you accidentally damage my pear tree? Wouldn't I be at a huge loss?"
Qingyun glared at him angrily.
"I'm afraid your pear blossom tree will knock me over!" This man really doesn't understand romance; all poetic sentiments are ruined by his words.
Suddenly, Qingyun seemed to remember something and asked, "Where did you get so many lanterns?"
"It was a gift from a patient." The tone was casual.
"Oh?!" Qingyun raised an eyebrow and walked closer to a pear tree. She looked up at the lanterns hanging on the branches, on which was written a sentence: "Divine Physician Li Ge, you are our second parents."
Let's look at the other lantern—"Many thanks to the divine physician Li Ge, I will repay you by serving you like a cow or a horse in my next life."
Then I looked at the other lantern—I will never forget the great kindness and virtue of the Divine Physician Li Ge in my life.
...
One by one, the bright red lanterns were inscribed with words of gratitude like these.
For some reason, Qingyun felt a strange sensation rising in her heart, as if something was stuck there, making her very uncomfortable.
"Li Ge, these lanterns were all made with care!"
“Yes!” Li Ge smiled as she took down a lantern, gently stroking it, her eyes filled with tenderness. “This is the patient’s way of repaying the doctor.”
"Li Ge really enjoys being a doctor!"
Li Ge nodded.
"From the day my master accepted me as his apprentice, practicing medicine and helping people has been my lifelong wish. Seeing patients healthy is the happiest thing for me."
Li Ge tilted his head back, looking at the lanterns on the pear tree. A gentle breeze stirred, causing his hair and clothes to flutter, and his profile was bathed in a soft red glow from the lanterns.
It seems so far away.
A hint of sadness flickered in Qingyun's eyes. She pursed her lips and said softly, "Li Ge is truly a good doctor." Her tone was very faint, so faint that only Qingyun herself could sense the subtle bitterness within it.
He answered with a smile as he departed.
Suddenly, Qingyun shrugged and smiled, her expression turning cheerful.
