"Master, Concubine Zhuge's maids were watering the flowers. Concubine Ning almost fell down when she passed by. In a fit of anger, she knocked down all the maids of Concubine Zhuge. At this moment, Concubine Zhuge was kneeling outside the door and begging me to make the decision.
Woolen cloth."
"Well, let's arrange a new group of maids for Zhuge Yue. From now on, we won't have to report such trivial matters to the king."
"Sir, Concubine Ning lost her temper and drove all the concubines in Pinglan Garden to kneel under the sun."
"What's going on?"
"They spoke ill of Concubine Ning behind her back and made Concubine Ning angry."
"Then send all those concubines away." Qi Yunqian put down the scroll in his hand, stood up, and walked out.
As soon as he went out, he saw a woman rushing over and hugging Qi Yunqian: "Sir, you are out now. Ling'er has been waiting for you for a long time."
Qi Yunqian smiled and scratched her nose: "Why do you look aggrieved? Who has offended you?"
"Aren't you those people who are talking nonsense? They say that Ling'er is favored not because I really like Ling'er, but because Ling'er looks like a person. Master, is that true?"
She raised her head and looked at Qi Yunqian. Her eyes seemed to be filled with bright stars. She really looked like that man...
Qi Yunqian came back to his senses and laughed: "How could it be? My favorite is Ning'er."
She suddenly pouted and complained: "Then Ling'er's spirit character is Shui Ling Ling. Why is it that when I write and draw for Ling'er, my signature is always written as Ning?"
"Is there any?" Qi Yunqian hugged her and coaxed softly, "Maybe I was too tired, so I remembered it wrong."
"Then the prince is willing to send everyone in the house away for Ling'er, so why has he been reluctant to let Ling'er be your princess?"
When Qi Yunqian heard this, he narrowed his eyes and his face turned cold: "What I gave you, don't you think it's enough?"
"No...no." Concubine Ning saw that Qi Yunqian's expression was not right, so she quickly changed her words, "Ling'er was just a maid originally. She is extremely lucky to be favored by the prince, and she doesn't dare to ask for more."
"Then just stay safe and be your concubine Ning." Qi Yunqian pushed her away and walked slowly along the winding corridor of the palace alone.
The huge palace, with so many people surrounding him, still felt deserted.
He is a noble prince from the moment he is born, a tool used by concubines and the court to gain power, a chess piece for various forces to fight for and a thorn in their side to get rid of!
He lacked nothing in his life. The only thing he lacked was the warmth that was impossible to possess in imperial power.
On that day, at that moment, all the dazzling sunshine shone in her eyes, overflowed on her lips, and was like an eternal painting, fixed in his heart.
Obviously, the last thing I want to touch is love, but I still can't help it.
"Your Majesty, I went to ask Xiao Qingzi. He followed his master into the study to bring tea to the prince. He caught a glimpse of a painting hanging in the prince's study, and it was the young lady who was painted."
"Is that the painting?" Concubine Ning asked hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, that's what Xiao Qingzi said." The maid said happily, "The prince loves his wife very much, and it will definitely be around the corner for her to become a princess."
Concubine Ning, who was originally very happy, heard the word "Princess" and thought of what Qi Yunqian said at the door of the study, and a strange feeling flashed through her heart.
"Come on, let's go to the study room and take a look."
"But we can't enter the study without my permission."
"If you can't get in, you have to get in!"
Concubine Ning hurried to the door of the study. Before she could open the door and go in, she saw two guards coming out: "The study is very important, Princess, please come back."
Concubine Ning held her head and suddenly felt dizzy: "Ouch..."
The two guards hurriedly came forward to check. Concubine Ning pushed the maid next to her into their arms and directly opened the door and entered the study.
"Wang... Your Highness..." Concubine Ning looked at Qi Yunqian sitting in the study. She was startled and took a few steps back, not knowing what to do.
Didn't the person she sent to investigate say that the prince was not in the palace at the moment?
At the same time, her eyes also fell on the painting Xiao Qingzi mentioned.
The woman in the painting did look very much like her between her features, at least seventy percent. But she was very sure that it was not her!
The women of their Qi state all wear very orthodox Qi's skirts. The woman in the painting is clearly a Nanye woman!
Could it be that it's not the woman in the painting that looks like her, but that she looks like the woman in the painting?
Could it be that their prince's favor for her is not because he likes her, but because of her?!
Concubine Ning turned her head in disbelief and looked at Qi Yunqian: "Master..."
Qi Yunqian said calmly: "Wouldn't it be better to keep to yourself and pretend to be confused?"
"But..." Concubine Ning saw the housekeeper walking in before she could speak.
"Your Majesty, someone from Taiwei's Mansion has sent a gift."
Qi Yunqian raised his head and asked calmly: "What gift?"
"A woman." The housekeeper smiled, turned sideways as he spoke, and let the woman behind him walk in.
Wearing an emerald green dress, she has a graceful figure.
The face is not stunning, but it can be said to be delicate and pleasant.
The most important thing...
Concubine Ning looked at the visitor and opened her eyes wide in horror - the woman who came had the same face and eyes as the woman in the painting, and she looked much more like that woman than she did!
Qi Yunqian squinted at the woman walking towards him, then raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I'm going back to the Lieutenant. I like this gift very much."
With that said, he waved to the woman: "Come here."
The woman pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Concubine Ning with a provocative look. She immediately walked up to Qi Yunqian's side, saluted and said, "Jiang Wu, see you, Your Majesty."
"This name is not pleasant." Qi Yunqian reached out and touched her face and said, "From now on, you can call me Ning'er."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ning'er... Ning'er...
After Concubine Ning heard the word "Ning'er", she felt like a bolt from the blue had hit her head, causing her to lose consciousness for a moment.
"Your Majesty..."
She wanted to say something else, but she saw that Qi Yunqian's eyes were already a little cold when he looked at her: "At this time, should Concubine Ning avoid it?"
"But……"
The housekeeper reminded her loudly: "Concubine Ning, you'd better not make me angry."
Concubine Ning bit her lower lip tightly, and it took her a long time to squeeze out one word: "Yes."
She suddenly regretted it now.
Wouldn't it be nice to just let the prince pamper her like this? Is it really what she wants to explore the so-called truth?
Jiang Wu, oh no, Ning'er was lying in Qi Yunqian's arms, pointing to the painting on the wall and asking: "Is that the prince's beloved woman?"
Qi Yunqian put his index finger on her lips and stopped her: "A smart woman would not be stupid enough to ask such a question."
