Not only was she angry at him for being a bastard, she even dared to kick him between his legs. If it wasn't for his timely reaction, this woman really would have dared to kick him!
"This bastard is really ruthless."
Yan Yuan's face was still ashen. As he watched Liu Ruo Qing's gradually disappearing figure, he gritted his teeth and cursed out in a low voice.
Except, the words she'd scolded him earlier, and her violent reaction, was it because he'd said something wrong just now that had annoyed her?
Did that mean that she actually didn't have any feelings for him like he had imagined?
Realizing this, the anger on Yan Yuan's face eased up somewhat.
However, the existence of Liu Qian Xun was still a thorn in his heart. If he did not try to pull it out, the moment he touched Liu Qian Xun in the future, it would turn his heart upside down.
Liu Ruo Qing angrily entered the longevity palace. Laughing sounds came from inside, Liu Ruo Qing slowed down her steps and took a deep breath. She suppressed her anger and smiled, then walked into the hall.
Inside longevity palace, other than the empress dowager, there was also Shen Wu Yun Ai and Yan Chang. The three of them were happily chatting about something.
Upon seeing her, different expressions could be seen on their faces.
Yan Chang's originally smiling face instantly darkened, as if he had seen his father's murderer.
Thinking about it, if not for Yan Yuan's warning before, she would have probably rushed up to fight with him.
Yun Ai nodded politely towards her. "Sister Concubine, you're here. You were just chatting with the empress dowager when King Jing's older brother left the longevity palace in a hurry. He must have gone out of the palace to pick you up."
"Yes, Tian Xin."
The empress dowager's smile did not waver. When she saw that she had entered alone, her gaze shifted to behind her and she said, "Where's Ol'ninth? He left the longevity palace long ago. Did he not come to the palace with you?"
Mentioning Yan Yuan, Liu Ruo Qing's expression turned a little ugly. However, she couldn't show it in front of the empress dowager, so she replied in a soft voice, "He's behind us."
Even though she tried her best to show that she didn't quarrel with Yan Yuan, she couldn't show that kind of intimate shy gesture.
Just as she finished speaking, the empress dowager saw Yan Yuan walk in with a straight face. When he saw her, he bowed and greeted, "royal sister-in-law."
"Hur Hur Hur Hur."
The empress dowager laughed heartily as her playful gaze swept over Yan Yuan and Liu Ruo Qing's faces. "This pair of yours is truly a woman singing duo, they'll follow each other wherever they go."
Facing the empress dowager's teasing, Liu Ruo Qing's expression changed a little, but she didn't try to refute her. Instead, she lightly pursed her lips and walked to the side before sitting down.
Yan Yuan quietly cast a glance at Liu Ruo Qing. Seeing her gaze, he did not see her looking straight at him.
He could not help but be disappointed, and sighed in his heart. In the end, he lowered his posture, walked to Liu Ruo Qing's side, and sat down.
Yun Ai and Yan Yuan sat on the lower right side of the empress dowager, while Yan Yuan and Yan Yuan sat on the lower left side of the empress dowager.
Yun Ai's face did not reveal any change, but her gaze was fixed on Yan Yuan. She saw that Yan Yuan, who was usually not easily exposed to the public, had revealed a little disappointment because of Liu Ruo Qing's cold attitude.
Yun Ai's heart sank as a trace of sadness flashed past her eyes.
It looks like King Jing's older brother really likes his wangfei. At first, she thought that the empress dowager was exaggerating.
Liu Ruo Qing unintentionally turned her head and saw the gaze of Shen Wu Yun Ai, full of infatuation and a trace of unexplainable helplessness and sadness.
Her heart, sank as her eyes quietly looked at Yun Ai.
Was her sadness because Yan Yuan had married another woman?
Liu Ruo Qing silently thought in her heart.
Although she had a rather carefree personality, perhaps it was because a woman's natural sixth sense was extremely strong. Even if Yun Ai did not display any signs of overly admiring actions on the surface, when she yelled "King Jing's older brother" one after another, she could clearly feel the hidden emotions behind them.
But... I wonder if Yan Yuan can detect it.
Or perhaps, in Yan Yuan's heart, he felt the same as Yun Ai, helpless and sad.
Thinking about it, Liu Ruo Qing once again remembered the drunk words that Yan Yuan said that night, and her heart was obviously in pain.
She suddenly felt that she was the third person between them, destroying what was supposed to be a perfect match.
She thought, maybe she really shouldn't have waited for Yan Yuan to take the initiative to kick him out, if not, at that time, she would have left in a sorry state.
However, the moment he thought about leaving, Liu Ruo Qing's heart began to ache painfully. Unknowingly, his face also revealed a little grief.
Yun Ai silently looked at Yan Yuan until she felt that in front of him, there were two pairs of eyes that had complex expressions.
She subconsciously looked over to meet Liu Ruo Qing's gaze.
Both of them were panicking for a moment.
He was clearly Yan Yuan's Crown Princess Jing, but facing the Divine Martial Realm Yun Ai, Liu Ruo Qing felt like he had been caught.
Yun Ai was a little flustered, but soon after, she regained her calmness. She gave Liu Ruo Qing an awkward smile, and did not look in Yan Yuan's direction again.
His hand twisted and turned the embroidered handkerchief in his hand, feeling somewhat uneasy.
"Wailing Home is one of the people who come the most frequently. It looks like in the future, if you want your majesty and eighth brother to come visit Wailing Home, you have to get them married as soon as possible."
The empress dowager's mocking voice sounded once again in the strange atmosphere of the hall.
Liu Ruo Qing regained her senses, suppressing the throbbing pain in her heart. She smiled awkwardly at the empress dowager, wanting to take the opportunity to change the topic.
"royal sister-in-law, the Emperor already has someone in his heart, the only thing that is lacking is a ceremony. I can find eighth brother one, so that he won't have to meddle in random matters."
Hearing Liu Ruo Qing's words, the empress dowager raised her eyebrows and smiled. "From Tian Xin's tone, you seem to be dissatisfied with Old Eighth?"
Liu Ruo Qing laughed, but before she could even reply, a pleasant male voice came from outside the hall with a lazy tone, "Some people are really ungrateful.
Just as she said that, Yan Jue's handsome and elegant figure appeared at the entrance of the hall. Her sharp eyes were filled with a sense of reproach, looking straight at Liu Ruo Qing.
Liu Ruo Qing pretended to ignore him and innocently looked away.
Yan Jue stepped into the hall and bowed to the empress dowager, then sat down next to Yan Yuan.
"Big brother King Lu."
Yun Ai stood up and bowed politely, then called out to her in a low voice.
