Seeing Jing Shuyi bringing Zhuo Tao in, Qin Nuo's eyes flashed, and the corner of her mouth hooked into a slight smile.
"Consort pays her respect to Your Highness, Empress." Jing Shuyi paid her respects to the two of them.
"No need to be so polite." Ling Yexuan said with a smile, his gaze at Jing Shuyi was as gentle as ever, but he could not help but frown.
In these few days that they had not met, Shu Yi had lost a lot of weight, and her expression was not looking too good. She definitely wouldn't feel well since he had been staying in Qinxin these past few days. She didn't feel much about not seeing her, but this meeting had caused him to feel deep guilt again.
"Sit down!" Ling Yexuan's tone became even more gentle. Why does my face look so awful? But do you feel uncomfortable in any way? "
Hearing what Ling Yexuan said, she realized that Jing Shuyi's face was not looking good. However, he had not seen Ling Yexuan for a few days, so it was normal for him to be haggard for Yi Xiao. Since concubine was not here to see her, she decided to stay quiet and be a quiet beauty!
"Thank you, Prince, and Empress!" Jing Shuyi was convinced again, and then he held Mo Ju's hand and slowly sat down.
"We're entering the palace tomorrow. We need to rest early tonight." Ling Yexuan said again.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Consort didn't think much of it, it's just that in the past few days, I've been eating lazily, and I'm a little tired. Perhaps it's because I just moved into the Warm Pavilion. Consort is rather envious of the Empress. She entered the Warm Pavilion very early in the morning, so it's still not hot. " Saying that, Jing Shuyi pursed his lips and smiled.
Qin Nuo's forehead twitched, but she still did not speak.
"The wangfei is afraid of the cold, a bit afraid of the cold." Ling Yexuan said as he glanced at Qin Nuo. This woman was really patient. He didn't say a word until now, and judging from his expression, he was also very calm. It was as if the person who was just saying those sour words wasn't her!
Jing Shuyi also looked at Qin Nuo, smiling very gently.
"The Empress's complexion seems pretty good, but perhaps Consort is a little too petty. Since Prince has been absent from the manor for the past few days, Consort feels that there's something missing in her heart!"
Qin Nuo could not help but sneer in her heart, this woman, to be able to sue him in front of her, was truly admirable in her spirit!
"The concubine is gentle and virtuous, and has a deep affection for the Prince. If you don't meet the Prince soon, you can't even think about eating. It really makes one moved." Qin Nuo smiled and slowly said. Perhaps I was too careless, and felt that the prince was someone who did great things, so how could I dare to use these girls to implicate him! As long as the prince is in the palace, it will be good as long as he can be relaxed.
Jing Shuyi's expression changed slightly.
The reason she came this time, aside from wanting to confirm whether or not she would enter the palace tomorrow, was also to make Ling Yexuan feel that she was the woman who cared about him the most. But Qin Nuo's reaction was too fast! Those light words had not only devalued her feelings, but had instead made her seem like an imperial concubine. Not only was her feelings deep, but she was also magnanimous. The rarest of all was the ability of the man who trusted her!
And looking at Ling Yexuan,'s words had made his feel extremely comfortable, even relaxing his forehead that was just slightly wrinkled a moment ago!
Jing Shuyi gently bit her lips.
"The Empress is right!" Consort is indeed acting like a little too little girl, I've let the Empress down. " As Jing Shuyi said that in a low voice, she stood up, and the gaze she used to look at Ling Yexuan carried a trace of grievance and shame. Consort should not have interfered with the Marquis originally, so she will be taking her leave! "
Ling Yexuan's initially relaxed brows gently furrowed. Shu Yi was originally a virtuous and elegant woman, but now, after all, he had caused her to suffer first!
"Rest early!" Ling Yexuan said softly, and then instructed Mo Ju. Get someone to tell the kitchen to make a delicious meal for the concubine. "
"Yes sir!" Mo Ju bowed to Ling Yexuan and followed behind Jing Shuyi, retreating slowly.
Seeing that Ling Yexuan's gaze was fixated on him, Qin Nuo could not help but let out a cold snort and lengthen his voice.
"Your highness is truly tired, I am also tired! If I had known earlier, she would have come, and I would have avoided her. I also didn't want to see others use her to test me, or me to test her! "I can't bear to see him leave, so I might as well follow him!"
"Say less and you'll feel uncomfortable?" Because of what the woman said just now, Ling Yexuan's mood was extremely good. This idea was not only harmless, but actually interesting. He wasn't originally here to tease her, but when he saw Jing Shuyi's appearance, he felt that it was unbearable. She is This King's woman, so it's normal that she can't let go of the original. It's just that she shouldn't have come here! You said it already, and you already have the upper hand, what else do you want? "
"How did I get the upper hand? She said so much, and I only said a few words, and she already had the upper hand? That's true! I was here to see you, but I just followed up on my words, aren't you being a little too tactless! However, it would be better to have fewer people come knocking on his door in the future! If I want to be generous to the end, I might as well not stay here and go somewhere else! "
If it was the last few sentences, Qin Nuo still intentionally made Ling Yexuan feel that she was jealous and could not tolerate others. But the more he spoke, the more agitated Qin Nuo became.
Ling Yexuan looked at Qin Nuo.
The woman's face was slightly pink, her pouting lips were red from anger, and there was even a hint of moisture in her cheeks. It was hard to describe how alluring that was. What made his mind surge even more was not her appearance, but her words. This woman had really taken him seriously!
Seeing that, Ying He pursed her lips and laughed, admitting her defeat, and retreated.
Ling Yexuan slowly got up and silently walked in front of Qin Nuo. Seeing that his eyes were watery and filled with indignation, he couldn't help but laugh.
Qin Nuo was surprised for a moment, only then did she realise that she and Ling Yexuan were the only two people left in the room, and that fellow was staring at her with eyes that seemed to be burning with flames, but there was still a smile on his face.
"Um, shouldn't we call for dinner?"
"It's still early!" Ling Yexuan said softly as he reached out to caress Qin Nuo's face. Her slightly burning cheeks were like a spark, causing his boiling blood to boil even more. With her arm tightened, she pulled his into her embrace.
Qin Nuo instinctively wanted to retreat, but she was tightly held back.
Ling Yexuan's heart was beating wildly. Although he had been sleeping in the same bed as her for the past few days, because he was worried that the poison in her body had yet to be exhausted, and because he could vaguely feel her hidden resistance, he resisted the urge to embrace her. Sometimes he felt that he was simply being base, being mocked during the day and having to endure hard at night. He was not the only woman in the house, and he did not understand why he wanted to stay by her side.
Qin Nuo felt a little dizzy. In her heart, she felt that she should have disliked and resisted, but this overbearing and gentle kiss made her a little reluctant to push it away. To be honest, although she had already been kissed and slept with this fellow before, the feeling she felt right now was a bit different. There was also a bit of beauty in being confused, making her unable to bear to push him away.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Qin Nuo felt like she was about to faint. Only then did Ling Yexuan's lips leave her mouth and lightly slip to her ear.
"I'll endure it for one more day. Tomorrow, I'll have the imperial physician come and take a look for you!"
Qin Nuo felt that it was both funny and warm. So it turns out that this fellow wasn't as heartless as he thought. He also knew how to feel sorry for others! Thinking that she would occasionally wake up at night and feel him tossing and turning at her side, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You …" Ling Yexuan couldn't help but clench his teeth again.
This woman, how could she not laugh so proudly!
"Alright, alright!" Seeing Ling Yexuan's head slowly press down on him again, Qin Nuo hurriedly pushed him. In broad daylight, she wasn't afraid of making the lass laugh. If they didn't say it out loud, it was hard not to think too much in their hearts. If you don't know, you might think that I like to hook up with you during the day! "
"Cough, cough!" Ling Yexuan could not help but cough, what was this woman saying, he could even say words that were 'unsatisfied with what he wants'!
The morning of the next day, when Qin Nuo and Ling Yexuan were eating, they heard the hearty laughter of the eighth brother.
Qin Nuo could not help but cast a sideways glance at Ling Yexuan, he did not expect him to be so meticulous, it was because she was worried that he would bring Jing Shuyi into the palace, and that she would let her brother make fun of her while she was at home.
This time, not only Old Eighth and Old Fifteen came, but Old Sixteen and Old Seventeen also came together to see Big Sister's Yuqiang.
She had seen the Old Sixteen once before, but it was the first time she had seen it. Old Seventeen, who was only five years old, was white, tender and fat. His thoughts were always flying everywhere, and his words could never keep up with his brain.
Seeing Qin Nuo smiling as she answered the three children's strange questions, Ol 'Eight smiled.
Third Brother really does have a heart of gold. If it wasn't for the fact that Old Eighteen was still too young and required his mother to follow him, Third Brother would have definitely called him over together. He really wanted to bring all of these innocent little fellows to the Duke Rui Palace to accompany the third Sister-in-Law!
"That's strange too!" third Sister-in-Law is usually full of good intentions, but she just likes to joke around with little kids. " "Ol 'Eight couldn't help but laugh." Did she think that children were easy to fool? What does third Sister-in-Law want to know, you might as well ask me directly! "
Qin Nuo glared at Ol 'Eight, but couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm afraid you don't know what I want to know!"
"What is it?" third Sister-in-Law, please tell me. " "Ol 'Fifteen immediately answered as he looked at Qin Nuo with her big eyes. It's just that eighth brother doesn't know, won't third Sister-in-Law let him investigate? "
"Then I will wait until Lu Li grows up, then I will help third Sister-in-Law find out more!" Qin Nuo pinched Old Fifteen's small face.
"Alright!" "Yes." Old Fifteen nodded solemnly, yet he was slightly unconvinced. Actually, you don't need to grow up. I can do it now too! "
"Of course, third Sister-in-Law knew about it!" Qin Nuo was also very serious.
After receiving the confirmation, Old Fifteen was satisfied. He heard from Old Eight that third Sister-in-Law was tired and wanted to take him, Old Sixteen and him somewhere else. He did not express any more dissatisfaction and did not grumble as he wanted to rest together with third Sister-in-Law.
"third Sister-in-Law, a happy smile is different from an unhappy laugh! Today's third Sister-in-Law is the happiest! "
"You know it again!" Qin Nuo pinched Old Fifteen, and just as she was about to say a few more words, she saw Ming Liu walking in. Empress, the Prince and concubine are back! "
Qin Nuo did not say anything, but looked at Ming Liu suspiciously.
Ming Liu pursed her lips, submitted to Qin Nuo and retreated as if she was escaping.
"What happened to Ming Liu?" Qin Nuo was a little confused.
"He must be feeling annoyed again!" Peaches smiled but didn't take it to heart. Just as they were talking, Ying He walked in. Although it was not as obvious as Ming Liu's, she seemed to be a little down. Seeing that, Bi Tao immediately pulled Ying He over and whispered to him. Then, she softly called out. "Really?"
