"Humph!" A unhappy nasal voice came from the bed, but the Tenth Princess didn't notice it.

He quickly climbed onto the bed, lifted the blanket and squeezed between the two of them.

Jingjing faced the Tenth Princess who had just laid down and asked, "You can't sleep, right?"

The Tenth Princess nodded, and showed a faint smile towards Jingjing.

However, he only felt a cold light pierce him from behind. He turned his head and saw that Li Yue's face was ashen, and his eyes were full of cold light.

The Tenth Princess quivered and whispered, "Big brother Yue, your face is so ugly. What's wrong? Does the wound hurt? "

"..." "Humph!" Only after a while did Li Yue react. With a cold snort, he turned around and no longer paid attention to her.

That night … They passed through it peacefully.

Only, Jingjing and the Tenth Princess, who were sleeping soundly and strangely, didn't feel anything at all.

Ever since the two of them had started to breathe, their blue eyes that were originally on their backs now quietly looked at them under the night sky.

He didn't know why, but when he looked at the two women sleeping by his side, he actually felt very peaceful.

This had never happened before.

No, it did, but it was when she was very young, before the death of her mother's wife.

At that time, although the royal father rarely came to the palace of his mother's concubine.

Even though he rarely saw his royal father, and at night, it was only him and his mother.

However, that feeling was very contented and serene.

Just like now.

It had been a long time since such a feeling had appeared.

Li Yue stretched out his hand and couldn't help but touch Qing Yue, who he was normally a little jealous of.

They had also lost their matriarchs, but he had been left out from a young age until he grew up.

And the Tenth Princess, because of the death of her mother's wife, was doted upon and cared for by her father.

It was for no other reason but the fact that Qingyue's mother was very favored when she was born.

This was the most important and the only reason.

He couldn't say that he hated or liked the Tenth Princess, but there was definitely jealousy in his heart.

However, at this moment, looking at her trembling eyelashes, she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart.

She then looked at the slender hands around the Tenth Princess' neck. Unexpectedly, her heart was abnormally calm.

Before the Tenth Princess came, he almost gave her a marriage bow.

At this time, when he looked at her, he did not have any distracting thoughts. He only felt at peace.

Yes, a strange serenity.

He looked at her arm and saw that her lips were pouting as if she was dreaming of something wonderful. The corner of her mouth was slightly raised.

This appearance was truly adorable.

Following his lips, he saw a faint red mole on the right side of his forehead.

If one didn't look carefully, one wouldn't be able to tell.

This was the first time Li Yue had found out that he had been with her for so long …

He frowned slightly as a feeling similar to what he had felt before flashed by, so quickly that he couldn't grab hold of it.

He slightly frowned and didn't think any further. He only looked at the two faces seriously as he fell into a deep sleep.

However, the three who were sleeping soundly did not know that in a certain courtyard in another part of the city, there was a woman who was going to suffer.

In a quiet and elegant courtyard, the sky had already darkened.

However, the mistress of this place did not seem to be sleepy at all.

She was clad in white, and her eyes sparkled as though she was in a good mood.

In front of her was a beautiful woman whose clothes and hair were in disarray. However, she stubbornly looked at the woman in white with a face full of resentment.

"Lu Ling, if you capture me now, I'll consider it your win. However, don't even think about using me. When I'm out of here one day, I'll definitely let you …"

The stubborn girl looked at the girl in white and said with a face full of disgust and viciousness.

"Whiz ~ ~ ~" A steel ball dangerously flew past the girl's ear.

She slightly tilted her body to the side, allowing her face to escape the attack. However, her earlobes emitted a sharp and sharp sound.

His hand moved instinctively and touched it. He felt a sticky liquid on his earlobes – blood was flowing out.

She picked up her finger and looked at it. Under the night sky, the blood on her ear was the color of black.

Her expression changed as she said angrily, "Lu Ling, you actually poisoned me?"

Lu Ling acted as if she didn't hear what the stubborn girl had said. She lowered her head and saw that she had been scratched a little by the steel balls.

Under the night sky, her long eyelashes trembled and blinked. Like the most beautiful fairy in the night, she laughed and said, "No wonder Big Brother Yue likes to use this thing. It's indeed very useful!"

"Humph!" The stubborn girl let out a cold snort.

It was only then that Lu Ling noticed her presence. She leaned in and stared at the tiny red mole on the right side of her forehead. Her voice suddenly turned cold. "However, I only applied some poison to it."

"You …"

The stubborn girl's expression changed, her long brows furrowed as she said, "Don't you dare use this to force me to submit!"

"I don't like you to talk like that woman …" All of a sudden, Lu Ling's long nails grabbed onto the snow-white chin of the stubborn girl, looking just like a ghost girl in the dark.

No matter how tough the stubborn woman was, she still couldn't help but soften her face when she saw her current appearance.

However, she didn't have the slightest intention to compromise. Looking at Lu Ling, she said word by word, "Even if you poison me to death, I will not agree."

"You …" Lu Ling laughed out of extreme anger, "I will get you to agree!"

On the morning of the next day, when Jingjing and the Tenth Princess woke up, the ice-cold person beside them had already disappeared without a trace.

"Elder sister, it's morning!" The Tenth Princess woke up and saw Jingjing by her side. She didn't feel distressed nor did she greet her with a smile.

Jingjing stretched her body, only feeling a little pain in her head.

Everything that had happened last night had seemed like a dream to her. She couldn't remember a single thing.

"Manqing …" Jingjing called out to the outside and Manqing pushed the door open and entered.

Jingjing stood up and got dressed. She then said to Man Qing who entered with her head lowered, "Girl, what's going on? Why did you come in after I called for you today?"

Manqing did not answer. She only silently instructed the servants to bring in the things needed for washing their faces and rinsing their mouths.

After taking a look, Jingjing said to Manqing, "There's no need to serve me, wait for the Tenth Princess to get up!"

"Yes sir!" Manqing only answered at this moment.

Jingjing looked at her accusingly and said, "You little girl!"

Only to see that the usually talkative Manqing, at this time, did not utter a single superfluous word.

He was just looking at the things on his hands.

Jing Jing felt that something wasn't right, she turned her head to look, only to see her face blushing red.

Jing Jing's face changed, and she asked, "This is … What was going on? Who hit you? "

Then, he grabbed Manqing's face to look at.

Manqing, however, struggled to get away from Jingjing's hold, and said with a voice like a mosquito, "Miss, this servant is fine, I just accidentally fell down!"

Saying that, he turned his face away, refusing to let Jingjing see anything no matter what.

Jing Jing muttered, and said, "Don't you wear a human skin mask? Why can you see red marks? "How strange …"

When the Tenth Princess heard her mumbling, she couldn't help but ask, "Big sister, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing, nothing …" Jing Jing said in a perfunctory voice and didn't say anything else.

He didn't think too much about what happened to the wound on Manqing's face.

During breakfast, Jingjing's mind couldn't help but recall what happened last night.

He kept thinking about how he had lost his mind last night, and how he had even thought of not rejecting that fellow.

Eldest senior brother in the twenty-first century, master, what should he do?

Besides, she was suffering.

"Sigh …" A sigh escaped her mouth as a pair of small hands waved in front of her.

"Elder sister, what's wrong? He then sent the congee into his nose.

"Ugh …" Jing Jing let out a sound, looked at the porridge that she poured onto the table, and said: "No, nothing … …"

She had to immediately go to the courtyard and invite one or two of her concubines over.

"Well, yes, that's it. I must have been drunk and lost my mind last night. Yes, that must be it!"

Jing Jing muttered to herself. The Tenth Princess asked curiously, "Big sister, are you very busy? What must it be? "

Jingjing shook her head, stroked the Tenth Princess's soft hair and said, "It's nothing, elder sister will take you to a very fun place later!"

Remembering the promise in front of the underground palace, the Tenth Princess couldn't help but be interested. She asked Jingjing, "Where are you going?"

Jingjing mysteriously smiled: "Separate Courtyard!"

Even though Jingjing was full of ambition and insisted on going to the side courtyard to get two women from Li Yue, things often went against her wishes.

After breakfast, the King of the Western Regions sent someone over, saying that he would summon her to the palace for questioning.

It was probably the King of the Western Regions who finally realized what had happened to the Jingjing Divine Palm, which was why he wanted to go in and ask, right?

Jingjing forced a smile. She had originally thought that a few days of peace and quiet would be possible, but now it seemed that it wasn't going to work again. She hoped that this trial could be successfully passed.

However, she was quite serious about the matter of the courtyard.

He called over Manqing and instructed, "You don't have to enter the palace with me today. Go to the courtyard and choose a few concubines to come over. You can settle down and wait for my instructions when I return."

"W-how many?" Man Qing, who was in a daze, couldn't react for a moment and asked uncertainly.

Jingjing nodded, and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"Miss, the prince doesn't like women. Without his permission, you called a few women over, I'm afraid …"

Before he finished his words, he paused. However, it was much clearer than what he didn't want to express.

Jing Jing thought for a moment, then secretly took out a pearl hairpin and said: "Since that's the case, then …. Let's call one in first, shall we? "

"Alright!" Manqing had no choice but to compromise. She looked at Jingjing and pondered the question. She couldn't help but to ask, "What does it look like?"

Seeing Jingjing look at her with a puzzled expression, Manqing continued to say, "Beautiful, able to talk, gentle, or a little lively?"

"Ugh …"

Jing Jing thought for a moment, looked at Man Qing and said, "Beautifulness is a must, talent is unnecessary, eloquence is not a good thing …"

He didn't want to be as eloquent and scheming as Ling'er.

"You can be lively, but it would be best if you could be a little more innocent. Remember, you must be as pure as water!"

Only in this way would she be able to control and place importance on him, right?
