Qin Nuo didn't speak, she only smiled at Bi Tao and Ying He. Although these two girls had different temperaments, there were a few points that were the same in front of her! Firstly, her heart was clearly on her side, but she liked to speak up for the monster, and sometimes she would even grumble. Secondly, she couldn't hide her intentions. Perhaps they thought that they had hidden it well, but it couldn't escape her eyes.
There was no need to even mention Ming Liu and Qing Luo, one was straightforward while the other was too small. They could not hide anything even better than Jade and Ying He, which was why Ming Liu had hurriedly ran away just now when she had entered.
"third Sister-in-Law!" "Ol 'Eight originally took a few children to play somewhere else, but now he walked in holding Ol' Fifteen's hand." This Old Fifteen, is not happy just because he's playing around. He must be bored without third Sister-in-Law, I'll just give him to you! I'll take the other two, so you won't be too tired. "
"Alright!" Qin Nuo said while beaming, and without looking at Eighth Brother anymore, she extended her hand out and pulled Old Fifteen along. It was not even noon yet, why was she already sleepy? Would you like to rest on the bed in the back room first? "
"No!" I want to accompany third Sister-in-Law. " "…" Old Fifteen shook her head and rubbed her eyes. It's not that I'm sleepy, it's that I accidentally blinded you when I was going out just now.
"That's good!" Qin Nuo reached out and pinched Old Fifteen's face. If you didn't say it, I would have thought you were crying! "
Old Fifteen opened his mouth, but did not say anything. He could tell, although third Sister-in-Law was smiling, he was not happy. Could it be that lass did not control his mouth and told him something? Old Fifteen's eyes glanced over at Bi Tao and Ying He. Seeing that Bi Tao was busy pouring water for him, Ying He lowered his eyes and stood to the side, as if she was normal. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong? Who bullied you? " Qin Nuo asked again.
Old Fifteen looked at Qin Nuo and suddenly stretched out her arms. She pinched Qin Nuo's face, just like how Qin Nuo had pinched him.
"third Sister-in-Law, no matter what happens, I won't make you unhappy!"
"third Sister-in-Law knows, Lu Li is the most obedient!" As Qin Nuo said this, she looked at Bi Tao and Ying He. You guys can go rest now. With fifteenth prince accompanying me, everything will be fine. "
Bi Tao and Ying He looked at each other, but didn't move.
"Empress, Servants isn't tired." "Peaches smiled faintly, giving people a very simple and honest feeling." Even the Servants would like to enjoy life together with the Empress since Fifteenth Prince is so interesting! "
"That's right, esteemed!" Ying He also followed, but her voice was very low, and her confidence was lacking. Servants won't be at ease even if she goes out. It's better to stay here and serve the Empress! "
"As you wish." "Qin Nuo laughed, and spoke as if he was talking to himself. Strange! Just now, Ming Liu said that the Duke has returned, why is he not here yet? "Peaches, go take a look and ask the prince if he wants to come over for lunch."
"Yes sir!" Bi Tao agreed. He then gave Ying He a glance and went out alone.
Ying He lowered her head, not daring to look at Qin Nuo. It was as if she was afraid Qin Nuo would ask her something.
Qin Nuo laughed. If it were a normal day, lass would have been happy long ago when she took the initiative to mention Ling Yexuan! She lowered her head and continued his conversation with Old Fifteen. Since everyone was hiding it from her out of kindness, and Eighth Brother even specially sent Old Fifteen over to relieve her boredom, she had no choice but to — pretend that he didn't know anything!
When Ling Yexuan walked in, Qin Nuo was telling a joke to Old Fifteen, causing him to laugh out loud. Qin Nuo and the others were laughing as well, while sighing in their hearts.
Seeing Ling Yexuan, Ying He's originally sad face flashed with a trace of light, and he immediately submitted to him.
"Your Highness!"
Hearing Ying He's relieved voice, Qin Nuo smiled. lass thought it was simple, if Prince was willing to put down concubine and come here, then they would be happy for her!
"Your highness came back early." Qin Nuo did not look at Ling Yexuan, and continued to smile at Old Fifteen, her tone also calm and peaceful.
"When concubine enters the palace, she does not eat in the palace, and there aren't that many people who would go there. It would naturally be earlier." Ling Yexuan replied as he stared at Qin Nuo.
There were some things that couldn't be concealed. Moreover, when they just returned to the, the news of the Meng Xin Yuan would immediately spread like wildfire, filling the entire manor with joy. Naturally, he did not plan to hide it from the servants, so he did not strictly order them not to reveal it. He only asked people to order Ming Liu and a few others not to leak any information in front of Empress. It was not that he wanted to hide it from her, but he wanted to … Tell her yourself.
"Old Fifteen, go tell your eighth brother that we'll stay in Qinxin for lunch." Ling Yexuan said gently to Old Fifteen and then looked at Ying He. You will bring the fifteenth prince out. "
Ying He walked over and submitted to Old Fifteen.
"Fifteenth Prince."
"I'll go by myself!" Old Fifteen raised his small neck, ignoring Ying He's hand that was reaching over.
Qin Nuo could not help but want to laugh. This Old Fifteen, the prince's package, would not be thrown away!
Seeing Ying He following Old Fifteen and disappearing at the door, Ling Yexuan walked a few steps forward to stand in front of Qin Nuo.
"A Nuo!" Ling Yexuan paused for a moment, and said in the end. "There is something that I must tell you …"
"No need!" Qin Nuo didn't wait for Ling Yexuan to finish speaking before standing up and taking a few steps back. She didn't conceal her wariness towards in the slightest. You don't need to tell me, and I don't need to know everything! "
"A Nuo!" Ling Yexuan frowned slightly.
"The prince should be happy!" A smile surfaced on Qin Nuo's face. We should also spend more time with the concubine! "
"A Nuo, don't be angry!" Ling Yexuan's low voice unknowingly carried the sound of pleading, something that even he himself did not notice. "I didn't expect that either …"
"Your highness should have thought of this a long time ago! There are so many concubines in the palace, it's normal for anyone to be pregnant, let alone the one whom the Prince has fallen in love with! " Qin Nuo spoke extremely quickly, but she did not forget to explain the lass. Your Royal Highness, there is no need to be surprised. No one told me. "
In fact, as long as he linked what Jing Shuyi had said yesterday with lass's mood, as well as Old Eighth and Old Fifteen's performance, there was really nothing difficult to guess! And the fact that the concubine was pregnant was a joyous occasion, so it was no wonder that Ming Liu knew about it the moment he and Jing Shuyi returned to the Palace!
Thinking back to that Jing Shuyi, she had long since become suspicious, but she was still unsure, and could not be announced to the public. Now that it had finally become a reality, everyone naturally had to know about it!
It was actually pretty good! It's really good! When she was on the verge of surrendering, someone poured cold water on her, and it was indeed the best thing that could have happened! If not, she would have really lost herself under his so-called 'love', which he did not know if it was real or fake, and which he would not know how long he would have lasted!
In the past, she had always believed that a strong mind and a clear mind could completely overcome an unknown loss. Some people clearly saw the countless shortcomings of the other party, even knowing that the other party's feelings were not trustworthy. Only now did he realize that there were some things that had no logic to them, and they were not things that he could control just because he wanted to!
Fortunately, there was still time!
Qin Nuo picked up the tea leaves on the table and took a sip. At this moment, she finally understood that the person she had been on guard against was him. Slowly, the person she had been on guard against turned out to be herself!
Ling Yexuan stared intently at Qin Nuo. He knew that for a moment the woman was wary of him and resistant to him, but slowly she was replaced by indifference and calm. His heart felt like it was being wrung by a hand. It was a kind of suffocating pain that made people want to struggle. He knew that he had embarked on a path of no return. She was sad, but his heart would ache! If she wasn't sad, his heart would ache!
"Third brother!" third Sister-in-Law! When are we going to eat? I'm starving! " The voice of Old Fifteen contained a trace of grievance.
Right after he finished speaking, Old Fifteen had already jogged in with Old Sixteen and Old Seventeen. Eighth Brother was still walking at a steady pace behind them, his gaze seemed to have unintentionally swept across Ling Yexuan and's faces, as he laughed and said.
"These little guys are all talking about how hungry they are, I can't possibly fight over the host body, so I ordered some people to make food for them, so I could only let them come and ask Third Brother and third Sister-in-Law for it!"
"That's right, that's right!" As Old Fifteen spoke, he had already arrived in front of Qin Nuo and started rubbing his face against Qin Nuo's arm. third Sister-in-Law, I'm hungry. Old Sixteen and Old Seventeen are also hungry, let's eat first, okay? "
Old Sixteen and Old Seventeen played with Qin Nuo for half the morning and were not restrained by him. However, when they saw that Third Brother was present, they were a little timid, not daring to act coquettishly like Old Fifteen. They could only look at Qin Nuo helplessly.
Qin Nuo secretly sighed, not long after they had arrived, she had instructed Ming Liu to make some snacks for them in the kitchen, it was just that the three of them were too focused on playing around, they did not touch any of the snacks, and if they were hungry, it might actually be a bad idea of Ol 'Eight.
But look at that wicked smile on his face, though it wasn't his idea, it was his impromptu use of the children. Why would you be embarrassed to give me instructions? This Old Eighth, who was like Old Fifteen and could not let go of the burden of the prince, since when was he so courteous? She remembered that he had put on the airs of a master to all the servants in the mansion!
Actually, Qin Nuo was quite grateful towards the timely appearance of Old Eighth and Old Fifteen. If she were to continue speaking, Ling Yexuan would feel that she was making trouble for him for no reason, or finding an excuse to distance himself from him. He would be dissatisfied with her, and he might have to find out what she was thinking! If he kept pressing on like this, the two of them might start arguing again, and he might be provoked again. And all the strength in her body was used to prove that he didn't care, that he was no longer in the mood to quarrel, that he didn't even want to talk anymore.
If this were to continue, no matter if it was an argument or cold, it could cause her disguise to be torn apart without her even realizing it!
She didn't want to see her like that!
"Good!" "Alright!" Qin Nuo pinched Old Fifteen's face. third Sister-in-Law will immediately order someone to pass the food over. "
Just as Qin Nuo finished speaking, Peaches walked in.
"Your Highness! Empress! The meal was already prepared! In the kitchen, there were even a few snacks that His Highness liked to eat. Sister Ming Liu said that there are a lot of people today and sent people to the side chamber. "
"Ming Liu has thought it through! I usually see how this little girl is whining, but I didn't expect it to be so appropriate! " She glanced at Old Fifteen, and then pulled Old Sixteen with one hand, and Old Seventeen with the other, and walked out with large strides. "The two children couldn't keep up with him and both staggered for a bit before he finally slowed down." Go! I'll take you guys to eat first. "
"third Sister-in-Law, let's go too." Old Fifteen pulled on Qin Nuo's sleeves and started shaking him again.
Qin Nuo laughed, and did not extend his hand to pinch Old Fifteen's face, but gently pulled his hand, and walked out.
He had to admit that the girls understood her well. At this moment, what she wanted the most was to leave this room!
