Qin Nuo was startled, and then she could not hold back and laughed out loud. Other than her snowball, it was unknown who threw it too high, causing it to land directly on that person's face. This face was extremely miserable. The three of them laughed even more, while the Old Sixteen and the others still laughed and clapped, unable to stop at all.
A few girls also giggled along with Qin Nuo, some of them smiling until their waists were bent. The corner of her mouth was slightly raised, but her eyes were like crescent moons. Ming Liu laughed. With great difficulty, he managed to hold herself back and submit to that person.
"Thirteenth Prince!"
, who had been observing from the side the entire time, did not join in the battle and also hurried forward to kneel down.
"Thirteenth Prince!"
"You … "You guys …" "The person beside Thirteen extended his orchid shaped finger and pointed at him." How preposterous! This is too unruly! "
When Qin Nuo heard his sharp voice, a profession that she always neglected appeared in her mind — — Eunuch.
She had never seen a eunuch in the Rui Palace before, so Ling Yexuan was always served by the lass. She was not sure whether or not Old Eighth and Old Fifteen brought anyone out of the palace every time they came to the palace. Even if they did, they wouldn't have gone to her and would have been arranged to rest somewhere else.
Actually, Qin Nuo had asked Ming Liu about Yuqiang after she was taken away by him. Ming Liu told her that there were no eunuchs in the Duke Palace. The Eunuch Yang and several other young eunuchs who served beside the Duke were left behind in the palace. Even the person who carried the palanquin the night that she was rushed to Qinxin was a servant called by Ming Liu.
He had seen a few of them during his two visits to the palace, but he hadn't paid much attention to them.
"Chinese plum seed, forget it!" Qin Nuo was about to speak, but she heard the Thirteen smiling as she opened her mouth, her voice sounding very pleasant. The rules of third brother's residence are not for you to speak. Didn't you see that even the Princess Rui was laughing so happily? "
Qin Nuo could immediately tell from the smile on her face that this Thirteen had no rules! Don't look at how young Thirteen was, her words were even more clever than Crown Princess Jing saying that she did not know her origins! But, Thirteen is the son of Wu Zhaorong, Wu Zhaorong has always been on good terms with imperial concubines, and Thirteen is also closer to Prince Jing Ling Zhongchi and Old Seven Ling Jing Xin.
"Your Highness is right. This is Prince Rui's estate. Naturally, we have to follow the Duke Rui's rules." Princess Thirteen did not allow anyone to report this, and directly barged into the backyard, wasn't that a little inappropriate? " Qin Nuo was not angry, smiling as she looked at Thirteen, then looked at him again. Young Eunuch Li, hurry up and clean up the snow on Thirteenth Prince! Is this how you, Thirteenth Prince, taught you the rules? If you don't serve your master well, you might have the leisure to gossip about others! "
After Ying He heard these words, she hurriedly went to the study room to report.
When Old Fifteen heard third Sister-in-Law's words, she finally came to a realization. Seeing that Old Sixteen and Old Sixteen were still laughing foolishly, she reached out her hand and lightly patted the two idiots.
"Hurry up and give Brother Thirteen a greeting, otherwise, Brother Thirteen will say we have no rules!"
When Old Sixteen and Old Seventeen heard this, they did not wait for Old Fifteen and ran over to him in a hurry, shouting "Thirteenth Brother" crisply. Coincidentally, Chinese plum seed was patting the snow on his body, and accidentally landed on his face.
"A thing with no rules!" Didn't you see Prince Sixteen and Prince Seventeen in front of you? " "Yes!" Old Fifteen immediately shouted. "I don't know how to hide it."
When Chinese plum seed saw the little princes, a smile appeared on his face.
"Please forgive my apologies, Your Highness. This servant was too impatient and did not intend to offend Your Highness."
"Thirteenth Prince, please change your cloak first!" This hat is covered with snow. Let this servant take it into the house and clean it up for Thirteenth Prince. " As Peaches spoke, she extended the cape in her hands towards Chinese plum seed.
Chinese plum seed quickly smiled and received it.
"Thank you, young lady!"
Qin Nuo smiled slightly. This Chinese plum seed was a little interesting. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, she immediately turned into a smiling face to welcome his.
As the few of them conversed, Thirteen did not say a word. His long and narrow eyes slightly narrowed as a thoughtful smile emerged on his face.
He had long heard of third Sister-in-Law's performance on the stage, and on that afternoon, royal father let Eleventh Uncle leave the palace, saying that he had investigated thoroughly, that it was her second brother who had helped Imperial Concubine concoct the spices, and accidentally dropped the oleander powder in her cup with her fingernail, causing him to be poisoned, and only punished two palace maids who served as servants in the Imperial Concubine Palace for washing up, before ending the matter.
Naturally, the fact that royal father was willing to let the Eleventh Uncle go, was mainly due to the Grand Princess's face. But the fact that his fingernails were hiding poison was terrifying. He had heard from someone that the imperial physician had found out that there was poison in one of the wine cups and not in the wine pot that day. In other words, it was likely that his second brother himself had poisoned the wine and wanted to frame Third Brother and Fifth Brother.
If it wasn't for Imperial Father wanting to let Second Brother go, perhaps Second Brother wouldn't be staying in the Jing King Manor!
When Chinese plum seed finished changing his cape, he slowly walked to the still smiling Qin Nuo and looked down at her.
"I have long heard of third Sister-in-Law's sharp tongue. Seeing you today, you indeed live up to your name. Yi Yao accidentally said something wrong, I hope third Sister-in-Law can forgive me, and don't take it to heart. "
"Thirteenth Prince is too serious!" I'm just talking business. " Qin Nuo smiled as she opened her mouth, and then told Bi Tao and the others. "Why aren't you inviting His Highness Thirteen into the house? There's also that Young Master Li. With such a thin and frail body, it would be too painful if you keep standing in the snow and ice!"
As Qin Nuo said this, she couldn't help but want to laugh. Because when she knew that this young eunuch's surname was Li, she unconsciously thought of the animated movie "Godly Chef Xiao Fugui" and his classic line, "Too painful". This Young Eunuch Li looked very much like a person in a cartoon. He had drooping eyebrows, big eyes, and a crafty face. He looked quite happy.
Thirteen's eyes flashed as he pursed his lips slightly.
"third Sister-in-Law likes to laugh."
"Not bad!" Qin Nuo couldn't help but laugh. Speaking of which, this Thirteen was really good at calmness, would she want to laugh when facing a person like Young Master Li everyday? How can you speak with a straight face? Just now, she hadn't looked at Chinese plum seed carefully, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to speak those righteous words.
Thirteen could not help but frown. He did not feel that he was funny, why did the woman in front of him reveal a teasing expression? Staring at Qin Nuo for a long time, he finally understood that she was not laughing at him, but at the Chinese plum seed behind him.
"Chinese plum seed, you don't need to follow me. See where the girls have arranged for you to go. Thirteen said in a deep voice.
"Yes sir!" Chinese plum seed promised with a bitter face, confused about his own situation.
He had followed Thirteen since he was young. Thirteen wasn't very strict with his servants. On the contrary, he was fine with it. Why did he suddenly get angry today? Just let him stay where he is! This, this, this... This was too unlike his family's style!
"Young Eunuch Li, please follow me." She spoke to Chinese plum seed while holding back her laughter.
Chinese plum seed glared fiercely at Bi Tao. No matter what, he was still a father-in-law from the palace, so he should at least show some respect! Princess Rui calling him "Young Eunuch Li" was one thing, but lass calling him "lass" was another.
Thirteen coughed lightly and cupped his hands towards Qin Nuo.
"I'm going to talk to Third Bro!"
With that, the Thirteen walked towards his study. After a few steps, he stopped and turned to look at Qin Nuo.
"Although Old Fifteen and the others like to play around, third Sister-in-Law should not spoil them too much. It's cold outside, but it will be very painful if the third Sister-in-Law were to freeze for good! "
Qin Nuo laughed without saying a word. This Thirteen should only be fifteen years old this year, in her original era, only being a junior high student, he probably hasn't even reached the stage of rebellion yet! Indeed, princes were accustomed to using commanding tone to speak to others.
"third Sister-in-Law, I'm tired!" Old Seventeen came over and placed his small hands in Qin Nuo's hands.
"Good!" Let's go and rest. Look at the snow all over your bodies, quickly ask lass to take you for a hot bath and change your clothes! " Qin Nuo also felt that it was cold, the tip of her nose was probably red from the cold.
Old Fifteen was slightly unhappy! He originally thought that the third Sister-in-Law would only treat him well, but now he finally understood that as long as it was a young one, the third Sister-in-Law would be very gentle and indulgent. He felt that it was necessary to not bring the Old Sixteen and the Old Seventeen to see the third Sister-in-Law again in the future!
After boiling some warm water and changing his clothes, drinking some hot tea and combing his hair, Qin Nuo felt that his entire being had become much more refreshed. It seemed that she was someone who didn't like to be locked in a room and would suffocate herself!
The Old Sixteen and the Old Seventeen were all slightly older than him, hence they were all slightly larger. They were extremely loose and relaxed, especially the Old Seventeen, as they would stumble over if they were not careful, so they could only instruct Ying He to look at them properly. A few people snuggled beside her and spoke a few words, and then they saw Qing Luo walking in.
"Empress, the Prince said that he and eighth prince had matters to attend to and wanted the princes to stay for a meal with the Empress. He'll bring them back to the palace tomorrow." Seeing Old Fifteen's face darken, Qing Luo laughed. Your Highness said that after eating dinner, he would let Thirteenth Prince bring His Highness Sixteenth Prince and the seventeenth palace to other places to rest. Only the fifteenth prince would be better off following the Empress. "
"Thirteenth Prince is also staying in the manor?" Qin Nuo asked.
"Yes!" Thirteen halls went to see the concubine, and later, they will come to eat. " Qing Luo replied.
He was really here to see Jing Shuyi! It seemed that this Thirteen was truly concerned about her second brother's matters! Presumably, Ling Yexuan was very clear, he just wanted to capture him and force him into submission!
"What else did the Prince say?" Qin Nuo asked again, she felt that this matter was not that simple.
"His Highness also said that His Highness Thirteen didn't have the patience to coax the two princes to play, so he asked the Empress to let them talk to each other. When His Highness is really sleepy, we can arrange for them to rest somewhere else and send a few more people to follow." His Royal Highness also said that he would be back later. "
Qin Nuo laughed and thought for a moment.
"Ming Liu, Peaches, the two of you sent someone to the Meng Xin Yuan to fetch Thirteenth Prince back. You only said that the concubine was pregnant, so you shouldn't disturb me too much. Thirteenth Prince likes to be picky, so all of you follow him and don't leave him in the cold. Ying He, go and tell Young Master Li that the Thirteenth Prince isn't going to return to the palace tonight, let him take advantage of the fact that it's still early, he should go back first, don't wait for the palace door to close. " With that, Qin Nuo ordered Ming Liu to take some silver out and passed it to him. " Give this to Young Eunuch Li and tell him that I gave it to him. "
The few girls promised to go out. Qin Nuo smiled again and reached out to pinch Old Fifteen's face.
"Old Fifteen, do you want to go and rest so that you can play games with third Sister-in-Law tonight?"
