Wei Qing was surprised, but then the corner of her mouth broke into a smile, "Don't say those words again in the future."

Xiao Qingqian nodded heavily.

At night, as the two lay in bed, clothed in both of their clothes, Wei Qing told him that her brain was racing.

Although Xiao Qingqian was smart as a fox, he couldn't answer that question.

Hearing these cunning answers, Xiao Qingqian was truly speechless.

"Where did you hear all this?"

Wei Qing cunningly rolled his eyes, "Can you not tell me?"

"No way!" He suddenly moved closer.

Being locked in place with his burning eyes, Wei Qing laughed stiffly.

After a moment of silence, she still felt that she shouldn't have told him that she was a Transcender.

Dream?!

Xiao Qingqian frowned, "Why have I never had such a dream?"

Wei Qing raised her eyebrows, "Who knows."

Early the next morning, Xiao Qingqian entered the palace and told Old Emperor about the things that Wei Qing had told him yesterday.

Old Emperor's face was also filled with surprise, and he immediately sent people to summon Wei Qing into the palace.

Hearing that the Old Emperor wanted her to take charge of this matter, Wei Qing's eyes widened. "Your majesty, I haven't heard wrongly, have I?"

Old Emperor smiled gently: "I didn't hear wrong."

"But this concubine …"

"Alright, it's decided then. We will have someone pass down the order in a while. Everyone will have to listen to you!" Before she could finish her words, she was cut off by the Old Emperor.

Wei Qing could only reluctantly agree in the end.

Xiao Qingqian looked at her, "This is a great honor, why are you wrinkling your little face?"

"Big brother, this is the first time I'm in charge of such a situation. Moreover, it's such an important occasion. Do you think that I won't be under too much pressure?"

Xiao Qingqian could not help but smile, "You became big brother so quickly?"

Wei Qing blinked her eyes, "This is how a certain country calls people, even if they are married, they would still call people 'big brother'."

Following what she said, Xiao Qingqian softly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Wei Qing tilted her head.

"You want to call your husband 'big brother'?"

Wei Qing laughed out loud, "I feel that it shouldn't be Big Brother Qian, it should be the former big brother instead."

"Isn't it the same for both of them?"

"How can it be the same?" Wei Qing tiptoed and poked his forehead, "The big brother in front is my ex-boyfriend!"

Hearing that, Xiao Qingqian's face became gloomy, the temperature around him also dropped, as though nine cold winters were able to freeze a person into an ice statue.

Wei Qing could not help but shiver, the corners of her mouth twitched as she turned to run.

The palace had always been a solemn place, and a place like Wei Qing, who was holding onto her skirt and jogging, was truly the first place to have done so for the first time in history!

As Wei Qing ran, there were also bursts of laughter that sounded like silver bells ringing.

The Empress just so happened to be about to go to the imperial study to discuss some matters with the Old Emperor. Seeing that Wei Qing was actually so disgraceful, her expression immediately turned as dark as ink.

Suddenly feeling a gaze that was as sharp as ice, Wei Qing could not help but shudder, she turned her head and was shocked.

Although Wei Qing grumbled at the empress in her heart, she had no choice but to do this kind of thing beautifully.

"This concubine greets the empress, the empress is extremely fortunate!" Wei Qing quickly retracted the smile on her face, her expression solemn.

The empress stared coldly at Wei Qing, and then, her gaze slowly shifted towards Xiao Qingqian's face, which was right behind her.

Instantly, the old and the new grudges mixed together, growing like wild weeds.

Upon clearly seeing the hatred in the Empress's eyes, Xiao Qingqian uncontrollably tightened his eyebrows, and said without emotion, "This son greets mother."

The Empress snorted lightly, "Prince Chu, do you know where we are?"

Xiao Qingqian did not reply.

Wei Qing interrupted, "Empress, it's all my fault."

She had shouldered all the responsibility. Even if the Queen wanted to punish him, the imperial edict that the Old Emperor had asked her to take charge of the Mid-Autumn Banquet would be passed down very soon. The Old Emperor would definitely stand by her side.

However, if Xiao Qingqian got scolded by the empress, the matter would become very serious.

"I am asking the Prince Chu a question, why are you interrupting?" The Queen's eyes were cold like ice, locking Wei Qing in place.

The empress had not allowed Wei Qing to rise from her seat with the gift just now. At this moment, she was truly feeling very uncomfortable.

The empress's gaze once again moved to Xiao Qingqian's face. "Prince Chu has had a pleasant time recently, you're looking down on me even more, aren't you?"

Wei Qing was extremely anxious.

The empress was trying to make things easy for him!

Xiao Qingqian hurriedly explained, "Imperial Mother, this son has never had such a thought."

The empress scoffed coldly. "Yes or no, do you think I wouldn't understand?"

Xiao Qingqian did not reply.

A while ago, because of him and Wei Qing being grounded, Xiao Hanqi's jade like image had instantly crumbled like a big building. Since she had the chance to vent her anger, she had to settle the scores one by one.

The Queen stared coldly at Wei Qing. Since she couldn't do anything to Xiao Qingqian, she would first get some interest from him.

"Wei Qing, you follow me back to the Yi Kun Palace!"

Wei Qing pursed her lips, "Esteemed Empress, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate, right?"

The empress frowned. "Are you blatantly defying my wishes?"

"Empress, I'll follow you to the Yi Kun Palace. That's fine, but I'm afraid it'll bring you trouble."

Seeing Wei Qing's fearless face as she spoke her noble words, the Queen's anger grew even stronger.

"Wei Qing, do you really think that you can act unscrupulously just because you have Death-Free Token s?"

Wei Qing shook her head, her face filled with fear. "Empress, I was really thinking for your benefit. Of course, if you insist on treating my good intentions as ill intentions, then I will follow you to the Yi Kun Palace."

"Take Wei Qing back to the Yi Kun Palace first, find an old granny there to properly teach her the rules!"

Every word was filled with anger, as if it was squeezed out from between the gaps of his teeth.

Xiao Qingqian's eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot as he looked at Wei Qing worriedly.

Wei Qing winked at him, telling him not to worry about herself.

Since she had successfully grasped hold of Wei Qing's weakness, then she must not continue to hold on to Xiao Qingqian's weakness.

If he angered Xiao Qingqian now, it would only be detrimental to the crown prince.

Xiao Qingqian understood the look in Wei Qing's eyes just now. Seeing that the Queen had no intention to tell him more, he took his leave and went to the Tzu Ning Palace.

Just as the Queen went to the imperial study, she heard that the Old Emperor was going to hand over the Mid-Autumn Banquet to Wei Qing.

At the moment, she still did not know how much trouble Wei Qing would cause her, but she was angry at Old Emperor for being so biased.

"Your majesty, the crown prince did wrong before, but he has already repented. Why can't he just let the crown prince handle this matter?"

Wei Qing had already made a name for herself, if this matter were to succeed, wouldn't that mean that the crown prince would be completely useless?
