Chapter 88: Intoxicated, we gaze at the half-moon together (Part 3)

This person smiled brightly, his eyes were full of brilliance.

One condition...

Si Cang Qing took a sip of the fragrant tea nonchalantly, and the rich aroma filled his nose. He didn't know why 

Qiu Ping Tian went through so much trouble to plot against Qi Shuangran just for one condition of his. Just like 

when Qiu Ping Tian asked to be friends with him with the conditions he promised, it was really strange... He 

thought that if Qiu Ping Tian wanted to get something from him, he could just ask for it.

Since it can be given, there is nothing to hesitate about. Si Cang Qing thought so, and didn't think deeply about it. 

Anyway, this person will ask for it himself.

Sure enough, he heard Qiu Ping Tian speak again, his voice was unusually soft, whispering like himself: 

"This condition is very important to me!"

Watching the tea in Si Cang Qing's cup run dry, Qiu Ping Tian smiled slightly, elegantly picked up the purple clay 

teapot, gently pressed the lid with one hand, and poured another cup for the other person. Seemingly casually, 

he asked, "Qing di, are you planning to make Tian Bi your consort?"

Si Cang Qing gave him a faint glance, noncommittal. Regarding the matter of establishing a consort, he had not 

formally issued an edict nor informed anyone else. He was just waiting for these few busy days to be done, 

and before heading south, he planned to hold a simple ceremony to confer the consort while it was still peaceful. 

It was not a big deal.

In Si Cang Qing's view, it was a private matter, a trivial issue that didn't require a public decree. However, in 

the minds of those with ulterior motives, it had already stirred up an unimaginable storm.

"Have you decided when to hold the coronation ceremony?" Qiu Ping Tian, undeterred by the other's indifference, 

persistently asked.

Gently placing the tea cup in his hand down, Si Cang Qing looked thoughtfully at the other person, but saw that 

the other person remained calm and composed throughout. After a long while, he finally spoke slowly, "In another 

five or six days."

Qiu Ping Tian was clearly startled and murmured, "So fast?"

Si Cang Qing fell silent, his eyes gazing out the window where a bright moon hung high on the distant tiles. 

The deep night suggested it was already quite late. He then stood up and said softly, "I'm going back to the palace."

Since there's nothing going on, he doesn't need to stay here any longer.

Qiu Ping Tian quickly stopped the other person from leaving, lowering his eyes with a faint smile, "Qing Di..."

This gentle call carries an inexplicable sigh.

Si Cang Qing was slightly puzzled, looking at the gradually approaching face—he knew that Qiu Ping Tian had 

always been plotting something, often behaving somewhat strangely, but he also understood that the other party 

had never had any ill intentions towards him.

A kiss, very light, fell on his lips.

Astonished, this was the emotion that Qiu Ping Tian derived from Si Cang Qing's cold, clear eyes. Without 

waiting for any action from Si Cang Qing, he took a step back, distancing himself from the man's lips. The tip of 

his tongue peeked out, Qiu Ping Tian licked his lips, chuckled softly, and looked up to see the indifferent emperor 

staring at him intently. His tone was gentle yet inexplicably alluring, "Indeed, just as wonderful as I imagined!"

A satisfied sigh, lingering in the night, long and tender.

Si Cang Qing looked at this person. In fact, he could have dodged earlier, but he didn't guard against this person's 

actions... Perhaps it was because he agreed to this person's request to be friends, perhaps it was the years of 

companionship and understanding, perhaps it was a stolen kiss from this person, or perhaps it was the subtle care 

that was always there. Everything, everything, had a subtle influence. Since when did he actually get used to 

indulging all of this person's actions?

Just as, Qiu Ping Tian indeed did an excellent job with his duties, providing him with great convenience in 

monitoring every move in the world, but at the same time, Qiupingtian did not hesitate to use his authority to seek 

immense profits for himself.

Si Cang Qing knew it all, but just silently observed, silently allowed.

Slowly raising his hand and touching his lips, Si Cang Qing quietly looked into Qiu Ping Tian's eyes. The 

unusually bright light contained a bit of mystery.

"Why do you do this?" he asked.

His tone was always light and indifferent. No rebuke, no surprise.

Qiu Ping Tian laughed, laughed unusually hard, bent slightly, and his eyes were bright and shining.

After a long while, he stopped laughing, panting slightly, leaning towards Si Cang Qing, and sighed: "Qing Di has 

always been clear-minded. Why do I do this? Don't you understand the reason?"

Si Cang Qing looked at him indifferently, with a cold and clean look in his eyes.

When Qiu Ping Tian saw this, his gaze softened. He cautiously reached out, tentatively wrapping his arm around 

Si Cang Qing's shoulder. Feeling that the other person showed no signs of rejection, he took a step further, 

lowering his head to gently lean on the other's shoulder.

"Qing di, I like you."

"Qing di, I asked the Seventh Young Master for that condition just to get a promise from you, a promise that 

allows me to pursue you."

Pursuit? Si Cang Qing lowered his gaze, looking curiously at the man who had leaned on his shoulder, listening 

to him express his feelings. In his heart, a faint feeling flowed through, neither joy nor disgust...

This feeling, gradually seeping into my heart, is just like the person Qiu Ping Tian—unassuming, yet always 

impossible to ignore.

So this person's strange behavior is because they like themselves. Si Cang Qing understood; he had never thought 

about matters of romance and passion, and he rarely cared about the behavior and actions of others. The few people 

he cared about never delved into their thoughts.

"So, Qing di, what are your thoughts?" Qiu Ping Tian gently asked by his ear, his warm breath brushing against it, 

sending a strange thrill through his heart.

Any thoughts? Si Cang Qing, however, did not know how to respond to this person's words.

Only silence.

◇Cang◇Huan◇Seven◇Palace◇

The silent man looked thoughtful.

Qiu Ping Tian smiled and stared at Si Cang Qing. His expression was relaxed, unlike the one he had just expressed 

his love for. It seemed that everything was under control.

He was indeed pursuing this supreme emperor. However, he did not need to say it out loud, and he solemnly asked 

for permission with the other party's promise.

He just used this "condition" to achieve his goal.

When Si Cang Qing acknowledges your existence in his heart—regardless of what kind of existence it is, as long 

as there is care and concern, that is enough—this is the perfect time for open and honest communication. 

Otherwise, with Si Cang Qing's cold demeanor, no matter how much he hints, it would be difficult to take a 

step further.

Thoughts racing through his mind, Qiu Ping Tian remained calm and unhurried, gently reaching out to smooth 

down the slightly disheveled hair of Si Cang Qing.

Previously, he used every move, even a single glance, and those subtle details to catch Si Cang Qing's attention, 

imprinting his shadow on his heart. However, he knew that these actions would only make Si Cang Qing care 

about him. To truly make Si Cang Qing fall for him, he needed to adopt a different approach, establishing a clear 

relationship to change his status in Si Cang Qing's heart, thereby gradually forcing the other person to fall in 

love with him.

This kind of relationship is precisely that of a "lover," or someone who likes to pursue him. So, regarding all 

his actions, Si Cang Qing would naturally think of his original intention—this alone might not be enough to 

move someone's heart, but it could certainly draw their long-lasting attention to him.

When all the attention becomes prolonged, caring is no longer just caring; liking might also come naturally.

In the layout of this relationship, Qiu Ping Tian is advancing cautiously, neither daring to be impatient nor allowing 

himself to fall behind. He knew that he was no longer a stranger in Si Cang Qing's heart, and this weight was 

enough to make him take risks.

It's just that before that, he needed an opportunity, a chance to naturally express his feelings.

Cheng TianBi, this is the opportunity. He could tell that Si Cang Qing had always had a good impression of 

Cheng TianBi; some people in the world are indeed very fated to meet. Some affections are a kind of serendipity, 

inexplicably arising. Cheng TianBi was very lucky; he almost effortlessly gained Si Cang Qing's favor. 

Subsequently, his background and experiences, his indifference and tranquility, gradually earned Si Cang Qing's 

sympathy, and eventually, his love.

When Cheng TianBi broke through the invisible wall in Si Cang Qing's heart, it was the perfect opportunity. 

Because at this moment, Si Cang Qing's heart no longer held only one. Without this steadfastness, his heart was 

no longer impenetrable.

Nowadays, Cheng TianBi has successfully taken residence in this person's heart, and soon will openly accompany 

them as a partner.

Well, it's time to take the initiative.

Just like before, when he hadn't realized his feelings yet, Qiu Ping Tian exchanged Si Cang Qing's promise for 

the agreement of "being friends"; now he only needs to repeat the same trick again - the so-called "pursuit" is not 

for the sake of pursuit, but just to say these words openly, leaving a mark on this person's heart, letting 

Si Cang Qing know that everything he did before was just because of a liking; and also taking this opportunity 

to let Si Cang Qing willingly give a chance with this condition.

...An opportunity to become his partner, such as the ceremony of conferring the title of concubine.

Both of them were thinking about it. Qiu Ping Tian raised his eyes, stared at the silent Si Cang Qing, and smiled 

softly, "Brother, why don't you say anything? Am I being abrupt?"

Shaking his head slightly, Si Cang Qing slowly asked, "What should I think?"

This person said so much just to tell him that he wanted to pursue himself?

Qiu Ping Tian smiled slyly, secretly thanking Si Cang Qing for his ignorance of feelings, otherwise, plotting 

against Si Cang Qing would be a foolish dream. He replied with a somewhat gloomy face, "Qing di, do you 

like me?"

Si Cang Qing frowned slightly. He had never considered whether he liked someone for no reason.

Qiu Ping Tian understood, but still looked disappointed. He sighed, "I know, I made it difficult for you. Now, 

you already have three consorts. It was my wishful thinking."

"Qing di," he smiled a little tiredly, his tone vague, "Forget what happened tonight! Forget that I said nothing."

Forget? Si Cang Qing looked at him indifferently. It was something that happened. How could he just forget it? 

In fact, he never cared about other people's thoughts and behaviors, but he was a little concerned about 

Qiu Ping Tian.

Si Cang Qing gently moved his eyes away, looked at the night outside the window, and said in a leisurely voice: 

"You, if you want to pursue, pursue it!" Although he didn't know what this pursuit was about. But it didn't 

matter to him.

Suppressing the secret joy in his heart, Qiu Ping Tian looked at Si Cang Qing's cold face with deep eyes. After 

a long time, he sighed, "Qing di, are you willing to marry me?"
