"It's exactly because it's an item left behind by mufei that I have to return it to you!"

Wei Qing was not stupid, if she were to accept such an important thing, it would be equivalent to accepting Xiao Qingqian's kind intentions.

She could not accept such an important thing for the time being until she had thought of a way to do it both ways.

Xiao Qingqian looked at her as the expression in his eyes grew heavy.

Wei Qing's heart was in a panic, and the words Zhu Er said to her suddenly sounded in her mind.

She felt an indescribable fear in her heart!

She didn't know what she was afraid of.

Since I've already given you the hairpin, if you don't want it, then throw it away!

Wei Qing clenched her teeth.

This was a treasure left behind by his mother's wife. If he lost it, his life would probably be in danger.

"Qing`er, what are you afraid of?"

He had already promised her that once she ascended to the throne, he wouldn't go through the crazy selection for the sake of stabilizing the power of his previous dynasty.

Why was she still so cold to him?

Wei Qing pursed her lips, "I'm not afraid of anything."

"Is that so?"

"Isn't it?" Wei Qing felt that his gaze was just too hot, like an X-ray machine, causing her to feel guilty, "Anyway, I gave you the hairpin, if you want to throw it away, then do it yourself!"

With that, she stood up and prepared to return to the inner hall.

"Wei Qing, you are just a coward.

Wei Qing stared at him angrily: That's right, I am a coward, heartless, vulgar, and have no rules. Since that's the case, why do you still want to pester me?

Xiao Qingqian glared at her and suddenly pulled her into his embrace, enunciating every word, "Because you are Wei Qing!"

Just because she was Wei Qing, the moment she settled into his heart, he would never forget her!

No matter how much she hurt or angered him, he was willing to accept it.

This was the feeling that Tian Sisi had never given him before. In Chen Cheng's words, it was sweet but astringent. This was true love.

— Because you are Wei Qing!

These words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing great waves.

Wei Qing stared into his eyes that were as deep as ink without blinking, yet were filled with sincerity.

Xiao Qingqian continued: "The past is the past. Why can't you just open your heart and calmly accept it?"

"You make it sound so easy!" She struggled, trying to free herself from him.

Xiao Qingqian folded his arms tighter, "The reason it's not easy is because you're disturbing yourself!"

She was disturbing herself?!

Pui!

Wei Qing glared at him fiercely, "My heart is now as calm as water, don't tell me you have so many things that can't affect my emotions!"

"The true heart is like still water, that is the nun in the nunnery!"

Wei Qing was furious, "Xiao Qingqian, if you push me to the brink, I, I will really become a nun!"

These words made Xiao Qingqian laugh.

Seeing his bright smile, Wei Qing's anger grew even stronger, "Xiao Qingqian, what are you laughing at?"

"If you want to be a nun, then be a nun in Prince Chu’s Mansion."

"Why? "Hegemony!"

"Such a cute nun like you, I'm afraid you'll seduce this monk and make a mistake!"

"Xiao Qingqian!" Wei Qing was extremely frustrated, she raised her hand to cover his mouth.

Xiao Qingqian raised his brows charmingly, and gently bit her finger.

As if electricity was flowing through, Wei Qing's face turned red, feeling as if her face was burning hot to the point that it could heat up an egg.

"I still have things to do!"

Wei Qing turned her head, fiercely glared at him, and lifted her foot to step into the hall.

Even though the palace door was tightly shut, she could still feel Xiao Qingqian's burning gaze.

She bit her lips, and everything that Xiao Qingqian had said echoed in her mind.

Because she was Wei Qing!

She was very clear about the feelings Xiao Qingqian had for her.

But her own heart?

Wei Qing vexedly spat out a mouthful of impure Qi and sat on the bed.

He then touched the hairpin on his head and took it off. After looking at it over and over again, he kept the hairpin away.

When Wei Qing came out again, she disappeared once more. After she asked around, she found out that Xiao Qingqian had only stayed for a short while, and then left the Duke Palaces.

Wei Qing was annoyed from staying, so she went to the kitchen.

The "oven" that was used to bake bread was not bad. After Wei Qing kneaded the dough, she started to wrestle with a much better mood.

With the help of the secret guard, he roasted quite a few small snacks.

A few of the chefs looked at Wei Qing who was busy and worried.

"Come and try it all."

Everyone looked at each other for a bit, then walked forward while cowering in fear.

Wei Qing asked Zhu Er to distribute the remaining snacks.

Zhu Er thought for a while, then placed it into a food box, allowing the dark guards to send it to the palace.

Hearing that these snacks were specially made by Wei Qing for him, Xiao Qingqian was exceptionally happy, thinking that Wei Qing had finally thought through all of this.

After eating some snacks, he gave it some thought and got Chen Cheng to go to the imperial kitchens and get some red beans. He then made a bracelet for Chen Cheng to send to Prince Chu’s Mansion.

Wei Qing was stupefied as she looked at the bracelet made from a string of red beans.

"What's going on?"

"His Royal Highness said that the snacks were very delicious and that he would be very busy these days, so he personally strung the red bean bracelet."

Wei Qing felt that this bracelet was at least a thousand kilograms in weight. This was not only a string of red bean bracelet, but also Xiao Qingqian's heart.

"Chen Cheng, tell him, that snack …"

"The prince said that the pastries are filled with the princess' intentions. He also said that if there's a chance in the future, he will definitely learn from her."

Chen Cheng was very eloquent. No matter what Wei Qing mentioned, he would always be a step ahead of him. What he said was completely not what Wei Qing wanted to say.

After repeating it a few times, Wei Qing also began to compromise, "Alright, I'm fine now."

When Chen Cheng walked out, he gave a hand signal to Zhu Er.

Zhu Er understood and nodded.

Right now, the wangfei's heart was filled with mutual feelings. She was only missing a chance to help wangfei to cross the threshold of courage. She had to help her wangfei.

Die'er had seen the scene of their eyes interacting with each other. She had thought that when Wei Qing had previously said that she would grant Zhu Er a marriage, Zhu Er had agreed without even thinking, causing fury to surge in her heart.

Chen Cheng finally saw Die Er and was about to go up and have a good talk with her, but Die'er pushed him away with a dark expression.

"Die'er …"

Die'er humphed and walked into the hall.

When he saw Zhu Er, the rage in his chest jumped up quickly. If the expression in his eyes turned solid, then it would definitely be able to shoot Zhu Er into a sieve.

Zhu Er could not understand why the enmity Dia'Er had towards her became so strong, and looked at her, "Dia'Er, do you have any objections?"
