The corner of Zhong Qingye's mouth twitched. He wanted to say something but held it back. He reluctantly stretched out his hand to hold his forehead.【】
"Do you know? Do you know? This is the first time I have been so close to a man!" Qi Yan put his hands on the left side of his chest, with a pious and sweet smile on his face: "So close, I can hear it
The sound of his heartbeat is deep and steady, making people feel at ease as soon as they hear it."
"There is a faint fragrance on his body. It is not the Dragon's Birthday incense from the emperor's brother, nor is it any kind of spice I have ever smelled. But that fragrance is very, very nice, light, and not annoying at all.
Just like him, gentle and handsome, from the first moment he hugged me, I felt..."
"You want to marry her?"
The calm and emotionless voice calmly interrupted her chattering narration. Zhong Qingye sat on the stone bench, his legs elegantly folded, and the curvature of his back was as beautiful as butterfly wings. He was applying coffee shadow.
His enchanting eyes stared at her wildly, their pupils pure and without a trace of unnecessary emotion.
Under this look that seemed to be able to wear all disguises, Qi Yan couldn't say anything, so she blushed and nodded.
"Then I advise you to give up this idea." Zhong Qingye calmly changed his legs and said cruelly and calmly: "It is impossible for you to be together."
"Why?" Qi Yan asked unconvinced. Suddenly remembering something, he raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly: "Does he already have someone he likes?"
Zhong Qingye opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Qi Yan said decisively: "That doesn't matter. Anyway, I know that he is not married yet. Even if there is someone he likes, the only person he can marry is me!"
Such rhetoric is somewhat arrogant considering her status. Zhong Qingye said lightly: "If he has someone in mind and is unwilling to marry you, what will you do?"
"Impossible!" Qi Yan said confidently: "I am so beautiful and so cute, there is no way he would like anyone other than me!"
Such confident and arrogant words, Qi Yan said it without changing his face, as if he was saying something that should be like this. Zhong Qingye couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. No matter what, it is a good thing to be confident. But...
"Really..." She curled her lips in disbelief.
Qi Yan was anxious: "Why, don't you think I'm beautiful?"
"Beautiful, of course beautiful." Zhong Qingye replied calmly: "But who told you that as long as you are beautiful, you can capture a man's heart?"
"What's the meaning?"
Zhong Qingye raised her little finger. The color on her nails was as bright as the petals of a rose. She lowered her head, took out a dagger from somewhere, and slowly trimmed her nails. "Don't you, your emperor brother, know that? Where is he?"
A concubine may not be as beautiful as a concubine, but have you ever seen her dote on only one person?"
"Yes!" Qi Yan retorted loudly: "Of course I have seen it."
"Huh?" Zhong Qingye raised his head in confusion and suddenly smiled, thinking that she had misunderstood his words. "The special favor I am talking about is not the kind of favor your emperor brother has for Concubine Shu, but the complete love for only one person.
Has Qi Mu ever risked everything for her and wanted no other woman but her?"
"Of course!" Qi Yan retorted without thinking: "Sister Zeng Lian..." Before she could finish her words, she suddenly covered her mouth and looked around in panic. When she saw no one around, she lightly
He patted his cheek lightly and muttered in annoyance: "You have a bad mouth, you have a bad mouth, and I can't hold back my words again."
However, words spoken are like splashed water, which can be taken back with a few pats. Zhong Qingye looked at her in confusion: "Sister Lian? Who is it?"
Seeing that she had heard it, Qi Yan came over in a panic, reached out to cover her mouth, and said nervously: "Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you."
Zhong Qingye smacked her hand away politely. "Is there anyone else here?"
Qi Yan put down her hand in embarrassment and said seriously: "Regardless of whether there is anyone or not, you must not mention Sister Lian to others. This is the rule of the palace. If the emperor's brother hears it, the consequences will be disastrous."
Zhong Qingye is more concerned about another thing than this. "You mean, the emperor loved your sister Lian very much before?"
Qi Yan's face fell and she nodded sadly.
"Tell me more carefully." Gossip is a woman's potential. We were chatting anyway, so Zhong Qingye asked with interest.
Qi Yan hesitated for a moment, and then he reluctantly spoke, probably because he was asking Zhong Qingye for help.
"Sister Lian is only nine years older than me. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Although she comes from a poor family, she is no worse than any other lady. She is very gentle and polite to everyone. What she does
The lotus cake is more delicious than any of the imperial chefs... I used to like her the most..."
"Where is she now?" Zhong Qingye raised his eyebrows.
"Sister Lian... has passed away."
"Passed away?" Zhong Qingye was stunned, "Did he die because of illness?"
"No..." Qi Yan shook her head sadly, her bright pupils stained with a dark color. "She committed suicide by throwing herself into a well six years ago."
Suicide? Zhong Qingye frowned and couldn't help asking: "Why?" If Qi Mu really loved her so much, and she was from the common people, she should be very happy when she rose to heaven, so how could she commit suicide?
"I don't know either." Qi Yan shook her head sadly and bit her lower lip: "I was only nine years old at that time. I don't know what happened between her and the emperor's brother, but I think the emperor's brother really
I love her very much and even cried for her. This is the only time I have seen my brother emperor cry since I was a child."
Zhong Qingye shrugged, expressing his doubts about her words.
Qi Mu is not a love-struck guy, and now he has hundreds of beauties in the harem, surrounded by so many beautiful flowers. I am afraid that Sister Lotus has been forgotten by him in some nook and cranny.
Went.
"Third sister-in-law, you must not tell anyone about Sister Lian that I told you today, otherwise..." Qi Yan shrank his neck timidly and said with a sad face: "Brother Emperor will definitely kill me.
.”
"Don't worry, I don't have time to chew my tongue." Zhong Qingye stretched lazily and stood up from the stone bench. Looking at Qi Yanda's relieved expression, an idea flashed in his mind, and suddenly
