C69 What could they do?!

As the New Year approached, Qin Nuo began to understand some of the things to do during the Spring Festival.

Other than La Yue arranging for a day to go to the palace to give to the empress dowager and the others, she would naturally stay at the prince's mansion to keep watch over the old man. On the morning of the first day, as a Chief Consort, she had to go pay respects to Ling Yexuan at the palace. After the first day of cultivation, they would return to their parents' home. Next, the various dukes and dukes would invite each other to a feast. In the past, Ling Yexuan didn't have Chief Consort s, he had only invited a few brothers and cousins to the palace to drink and have fun, but since he already had a family, he naturally had to be like the others.

"Empress, this is the list of gifts that the Prince has prepared to go elsewhere. I invite the Empress to either add or subtract them, and to make the purchase." The prince had also said that this was the first year, and in the future, he would ask the Empress to decide for herself. On the day of the banquet, the Prince also invited the Empress to make a decision, but it has to be done quickly so that he could post as soon as possible so as to avoid burdening other people's days. " The manager's wife said, and handed the list over to Ming Liu.

Ming Liu took it and handed it over to Qin Nuo.

Qin Nuo looked at it carefully, then gave it back to Ming Liu.

"Since it is decided by the prince, there is no need to add or subtract anything. Just hand it over to the people outside and let them handle it." As for the date of the banquet, when was it in the past? "

"Our prince is not late, he is a fourth or sixth feast guest. When others see that the prince has decided, they will miss out on the day. Since the prince has divided the household, it has been decided by him! "

"Then the fourth day is good!" Qin Nuo said. The second and third days were for the female disciples to return to their families. On the fifth day, they would usually reunite with their families.

"Yes sir!" The daughter-in-law agreed before lowering her head and leaving.

Ming Liu and Peaches looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. These were matters that the prince and the Empress could talk to each other about, but now, those sister-in-law who were supposed to be in charge of these things were sending word. These two masters truly made one's heart ache. Ming Liu was someone who couldn't hide her words in the beginning, some words were really hard to swallow in her heart. However, every time she or Peaches brought it up, the Empress would go and say something else, sometimes with a heavy expression. They also knew that the Empress really was upset this time, so they didn't dare to speak more like they did in the past.

Seeing Ming Liu's expression, Bi Tao knew that she wanted to say something, so she quickly gave him a meaningful look. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Ying He walking in hastily.

"Empress, just now, the Prince had ordered someone to deliver a gift to concubine. Seeing that Qing Luo was fine, this servant sent her and Qing Yu over. I haven't been back for a while now, and I feel … He felt that something was off. It should have been long time ago! " As Ying He and his group chatted, they quietly watched Qin Nuo. If she knew things would turn out like this, she might as well have gone over personally.

Hearing Ying He's words, the complexions of both Ming Liu and Bi Tao changed slightly. They both thought of this matter in an instant and looked towards Qin Nuo.

"Maybe the concubine also has something to give to the Prince, you don't have to be so suspicious!" Qin Nuo swept her eyes across the three girls, naturally knowing what they were worried about. " Furthermore, Qing Luo did not know anything, even if Zhuo Tao and concubine were suspicious, they would not be able to ask. In other words, even if she proved it, what could she do? Could it be that she would be able to sue the Emperor for the crime of deceiving the monarch? It is just someone who wants to cause trouble for me, and nothing much can go wrong with that! "

"It's already been more than a month and concubine is already pregnant. This servant did not think that she was suspicious at all." Peaches spoke up in a soft voice.

"With Zhuo Tao here, how could concubine not be suspicious? No matter what was said, Zhuo Tao had served the Empress for nearly two months. It's just that I never thought that concubine, who raised a fetus, would have such a carefree attitude! " Ming Liu curled her lips and replied.

Qin Nuo smiled slightly. She actually thought about what kind of trick Jing Shuyi would come up with, and it should also be time for this concubine to be unable to endure any longer! It was just that she did not expect Jing Shuyi to actually investigate her. So what if they found out? This did not seem like a smart move!

"If it weren't for the Empress, Sister Ming Liu, and Sister Peaches, this servant would have panicked." Ying He heaved a sigh of relief.

"You better be careful." Ming Liu glared at Ying He. Don't expect Qing Luo to know nothing, and you accidentally revealed a flaw. Look at you, before you even react, your face has already turned pale! "

After Ying He heard this, she quickly kneeled on the ground.

"Empress, rest assured. This servant will definitely beat you to death."

"Get up!" Qin Nuo said as she glared at Ming Liu. Ying He was not afraid at first, but now she is scared too! This is just the beginning, don't panic already, there will be a lot of these things in the future! "

Ming Liu stretched out her tongue, and pulled Ying He over.

"I'm teasing you!"

Ying He glared at Ming Liu, unable to vent her anger after thinking, and stretched out his hand to pinch it. Ming Liu cried out in pain, causing both Qin Nuo and the peaches to laugh uncontrollably. After a few more people spoke for a while, they saw Qing Luo coming in from outside.

As it was cold outside, Qing Luo's face was red from the cold. Peaches hurried forward and took her hand to warm her.

"Why did you take so long?" Look at you! "

"I had originally wanted to return after leaving, but concubine asked me a lot of questions." Qing Luo said softly. She asked the Empress what color of clothes she liked and what kind of jewelry she liked, and said that it was a gift for the Empress to prepare for the new year. She asked about the Empress' birthday, and what she liked to eat. I only said that although I was close to the Empress, because I was too young, my older sisters would not use me. I'm still not too clear on the Empress's preferences. Elder Sister Peaches, is that right? concubine wouldn't sue me in front of the Prince, right? "

"Silly girl!" "They really think too highly of themselves!" "Bi You laughed as she scratched Qing Luo's nose. Even if concubine were to complain, it wouldn't be our turn. Rest assured! "You're right. If you don't know, you just don't know. You can't just randomly report it, right?"

Qing Luo nodded and looked at Qin Nuo. Qin Nuo smiled at Qing Luo but did not say a word.

Ming Liu quietly stuck out her tongue and pulled on Ying He's sleeve.

"Did you see that? We were all worried for nothing! I feel that Qing Luo is stronger than you. "

"Go!" Ying He glared at Ming Liu. I thought Qing Luo was stronger than you! "

Qin Nuo smiled faintly as she watched the few girls talking amongst themselves. With no family by her side, this kind of warmth was enough to make her feel satisfied. However, this warmth was too short!

Qin Nuo's eyes darkened, the lass also did not have any movement, she immediately submitted to the person who entered, and without waiting for any orders, she tactfully retreated.

Ling Yexuan sat facing him, and looking at the silent Qin Nuo, he couldn't help but slightly furrow his brows. Just now, she was still very happy, but the moment she saw him, he immediately made such a scene. Could it be that a concubine was happy and she wanted to be at odds with him for the rest of her life?

"You've lost weight! But the recent diet is too monotonous. Don't you like it? If you want to eat something, just tell lass and let them go to the kitchen. " Ling Yexuan suppressed his anger and said gently.

"Speaking of the kitchen, I do remember something." Qin Nuo continued, but his tone was completely calm. The concubine is very happy, I think there are a lot of things that are not to my liking. Instead, I have cleaned up the kitchen of the Meng Xin Yuan, and sent a few reliable people to serve the dishes, that's what I should do. "

"This is your problem, why are you discussing it with me?" Ling Yexuan patiently pretended not to hear Qin Nuo's calm voice.

"concubine is a person who is at the apex of the heart of the prince, and she is carrying her first child, so I do not dare to make any decisions. Besides, I didn't come to the prince's mansion for a long time, so I didn't know who was who. It would be nice if some servant had ill intentions or was being used, so I can't bear the responsibility. In any case, I've already said it, so it's up to the prince. "

"Since that's the case, I'll send someone to take care of it later." Ling Yexuan laughed, and forced himself to ignore Qin Nuo's expressionless face. It's getting colder outside, so when you go out, don't forget to put on some clothes. "

Qin Nuo lowered her head and did not say a word.

It wasn't that she didn't feel that he was lowering his body to please her. To Ling Yexuan, who had always been arrogant and moody, this might already be his bottom line. But so what? Even if he was more gentle and considerate towards her, he would never be able to give her what she wanted!

The two of them did not speak. A trace of unspeakable awkwardness gradually spread out. Ling Yexuan stared at Qin Nuo, but the woman refused to raise his head to look at him. This made him feel even more frustrated. He knew very well that if this carried on, he would lose control of his temper again. It would be better for him to take advantage of this moment to suppress the anger in her heart and quickly leave.

Seeing Ling Yexuan walk away without saying a word, Qin Nuo picked up the cup on the table and gulped down a large mouthful of it. She still felt an indescribable irritation at the bottom of her heart, and once again picked up Ling Yexuan's cup, drinking it all in one gulp. The tea was a little hot, but it was her favorite temperature. Since he was young, she was afraid of the cold. When she was young, she drank water or drank soup. He always liked the kind that was slightly hot.

Bi Tao and Ming Liu quickly came in. Bi Tao, seeing that the two cups were empty, quickly went forward to replenish his tea. The two little girls did not speak, and carefully looked at Qin Nuo. When the Prince left, his expression was very calm, and Empress's expression seemed to be very calm as well. They really did not know if this was a good thing or a bad thing!

It was in the afternoon a few days later when Ol 'Eight brought along Old Fifteen, Old Sixteen and Old Seventeen to the Palace.

It was snowing outside, the first snow of the year. It had been pouring down for the entire night and morning, and the yard was already a vast expanse of whiteness. The dark shadows of the trees, the white roof and the land seemed like a natural painting made of ink.

Qin Nuo stood at the door and watched for a while. Feeling cold, she went back to her room to stay. In the time it took to make a cup of tea, Ol 'Eight came in with a few other smirks. Afraid that he would bring the cold air to her, Ol 'Eight even ordered the children who had taken off their cloaks to wait at the door for a while longer before bringing them in.

"third Sister-in-Law, it's snowing so much outside. It's so beautiful, let's go out and play!" Old Sixteen was a Qin Nuo, but his eyes had narrowed into slits from his laughter.

"I just want to play all day, third Sister-in-Law is very afraid of the cold, do you know?" Old Fifteen acted like an old man again, lecturing his younger brother. He despised the Old Sixteen's way of sticking close to him, even more so than him!

"third Sister-in-Law! "Afraid of the cold!" Old Seventeen immediately became Old Fifteen's shadow.

Old Fifteen did not appreciate his kindness and glared at Old Seventeen. This guy is the same as the Old Sixteen, he has no future! If it wasn't for the fact that it was almost New Year's, he wouldn't have let eighth brother bring the two of them!

"third Sister-in-Law, I'll leave these three little fellows to you. Third Brother and I still have things to say." "The eighth brother smiled and looked at Qin Nuo. If you feel bored, go out and play before coming in. If you move a bit more, you won't be afraid of the cold! "

Even though the brothers did not go out, Qin Nuo still could not bear to keep these children cooped up in the house. The snow outside was already very thick, and the snowball fight was also very good.

Qin Nuo instructed the lass to also play, and very quickly, there were strings of laughter in the courtyard.

After holding in his anger for a few days, Qin Nuo's mood finally improved, and he hated Ming Liu and the others for taking the chance to hit her. Clenching his teeth, he formed a large snowball and threw it towards Ming Liu's face.
