You are the One and Only - C26
Although Qin Nuo opened her eyes, she still instinctively wanted to stay far away from the demon, but she was actually still confused and half asleep. It was only when she heard that Miss Jing Er was going to enter the palace that she trembled and completely woke up.
The one from Wei Guo Mansion was coming! That wasn’t bad news for her. The demon had always been a match for Jing Shuyi, so at that time, she would definitely not have the mood to bother with his. If she continued to cause trouble for Miss Jing Er, perhaps the demon would be unable to bear it any longer. Under normal circumstances, Green Tea Bitch would put on an extremely good show. It would definitely be able to help her, as she wished.
It would be useless to say it. Just you wait!
Zhuo Tao was staring at the door, thinking about something with mixed feelings. Seeing Ling Yexuan rushing out with anger all over his face, his eyes lit up, and he immediately went forward to welcome him.
“Your Highness!”
“Clean up the Eastern Warm Pavilion and have Empress move over there. It’s getting cold, and I’m telling people to warm it up. ” Ling Yexuan ordered as he walked out. His house was cold everywhere else, and it was no wonder the woman said it was cold. However, if she wanted to stay in the Warm Pavilion now, how scared must she be of the cold?!
“Yes sir!” Ming Liu immediately replied. “Then this way …”
“There are only two girls left to guard here. As for the rest, go to the Eastern Warm Pavilion!” As Ling Yexuan spoke, he coldly snorted from the bottom of his heart. Trying to avoid him! It would depend on whether he agreed or not!
“Alright!” Ming Liu replied happily. She had originally thought that the prince was going to separate from the Empress and live here, but it turned out that he was going with her. This servant will send someone to clean up now. ”
Ling Yexuan’s eyes flashed, he stopped in his tracks, and turned back to look at Ming Liu.
“When did the rules change in the prince’s mansion?” You actually dare to be good in front of This King!? ”
Ming Liu shrunk her neck, and did not dare make a sound. She, she … Didn’t she think too much just now and then become happy again?
Ling Yexuan did not pursue the matter either. Amongst these girls, Ming Liu was originally smarter than the others, and she was a little bolder, so she was able to chat and laugh in front of her. If she was scared, it would be a waste to have someone he could handle!
The East Warm Pavilion was indeed very warm. It was much better than the previous room. Although Qin Nuo had slept for an entire afternoon, she still felt extremely tired. She only used half a bowl of porridge at night to rest.
The lass was tired the whole day. Seeing that the Empress had gone to sleep, they went to rest as well. Hearing that someone had pushed open the door to come in, Peaches hurriedly opened her eyes and gave Ming Liu a light push. The two girls stood up, but just as they were about to speak, Ling Yexuan made a silent gesture.
Bi Tao and Ming Liu were convinced. Seeing Ling Yexuan raise the curtain himself and wave for them to leave, they couldn’t help but to smile at each other and quietly leave the room.
Ling Yexuan looked around. The servants, on the other hand, were quite attentive. They cleaned up the East Warm Pavilion to the point where it was not much different from a bridal chamber. They could not help but smile, frown, and walk over to the bed.
It was unknown whether the woman had not expected him to come, or whether she had intentionally left no room for him. The quilt lay haphazardly on the bed, and he was sprawled in the middle of it. Ling Yexuan thought for a while, then sat down on the side of the bed. He raised Qin Nuo’s arm, put it inside and pushed her leg a little. Seeing that she didn’t react at all, he couldn’t help but smile.
In the past, when he slept on the ground, he would always hear her gentle breathing before he fell asleep, and every time he woke up, she wouldn’t wake up. Today, he had experienced the effects of her sleeping skills. Even though he had slept for half a day, he was still able to indulge in his dreams. Normal people simply could not compare to him.
Seeing that there was finally a gap on the side of the bed, Ling Yexuan laid on his side. He felt that it was really crowded and couldn’t help but lean in. The woman seemed to have sensed something, and with a soft moan, he turned around. Ling Yexuan took the chance and laid down, not giving her the chance to turn it over again, he extended his arm and placed it on her body.
The next morning, Qin Nuo opened her eyes and felt refreshed. Although her waist was still a bit sore, at least she didn’t feel that tired anymore. When Qin Nuo was washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she saw that Ming Liu was only smiling warmly without saying a word.
“Is there anything new in the mansion?” Qin Nuo asked.
“No!” Ming Liu immediately replied. His Royal Highness had left early in the morning, but had only instructed Servants to wait for the Empress to wake up before taking a walk in the courtyard so that he would not always be cooped up in his room. Oh! That’s right! He even told Qing Luo that he would bring Yu Qiang back today. Qing Luo was so happy that she looked like she was crying again in his own room! ‘This girl … ‘
Although he said “no” before, but once Ming Liu opened his chatterbox, it was unable to stop. When Qing Luo talked about Ying He, he also asked the rest of the Kikuji s whether they should come to the Eastern Warm Pavilion to greet him. Qin Nuo listened and listened, but he did not hear anything about tidying up the courtyard to welcome new disciples either, she was even more baffled. It looked like this time, she was wrong.
Since Ming Liu did not say anything, Qin Nuo did not ask. After eating, she went to the side hall.
The Kikuji s had arrived early and were chattering loudly. When they saw Qin Nuo coming in, they hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
“The Empress’s complexion is quite good today.” After she finished, everyone sat down, and An Kexin said with a smile.
Qin Nuo laughed, and was about to speak, but instead, Mei Yue opened her mouth.
“Of course! Ever since the Empress entered the palace, aside from staying with the Empress, the Prince had only visited Elder Sister Xia a few times. It was obvious that the Empress and Elder Sister Xia had served him well and deeply desired him! What if she didn’t look good? It was just that the Empress shouldn’t tire herself out too much, and making the sisters feel uneasy was secondary. If she grew too tired, the Prince would worry! Didn’t the Empress teach the concubine not to let their prince worry? The Empress herself should not become the prince’s worry! ”
Normally, whenever Mei Yue talked, she would always play the role of the coquettish and gentle guy. But now, these words were said in a roundabout way, it was as sour as it could get!
Qin Nuo smiled and ignored her. She picked up her tea, took a sip, and said slowly: “We are rushing to the concubine and are about to enter the palace. We are all sisters, you must remember to get along with each other. When the newcomer enters the palace, the prince will definitely be in more pain. Everyone, don’t be jealous, just make others laugh! ”
Mei Yue listened to Qin Nuo. Her face instantly flushed red and paled, but she didn’t dare openly talk back to Empress, so she could only curl her lips and smile.
“The Empress’s words were actually very light and nimble! When concubine enters the palace, the Empress would understand what it means to have a taste! ”
“Whom does the prince love? It’s not like the Empress can control it!” Little Sister Mei Yue had such thoughts, but she had to put in more effort in front of the Prince, so she only told it to her sisters, what’s the use of it? ” Mu Rulan covered her mouth and laughed, teasing Mei Yue.
“You …” Mei Yue did not dare to stare at Qin Nuo, as she did not care about him at all. Even though Mu Rulan had been bestowed the title of a royal concubine, she was merely a step higher than her. You shouldn’t just talk. You should learn martial arts properly from your words! ”
“Enough! “How are you acting in front of the Empress!?” Zhuo Tao suddenly shouted in a stern voice. And now, just like this, when the concubine enters the palace, you will have even more benefits! ”
Mei Yue immediately lowered her head, not daring to speak. Mu Rulan’s eyes flashed, and didn’t say anything.
“Miss Zhuo Tao was originally a proud person in front of the Prince. She was already used to arguing with the concubine. Now that you act in such a manner in front of the Empress, it can be seen just how much Lady Zhuo Tao has the heart of the Empress! ” An Kexin smiled sarcastically.
Zhuo Tao’s expression changed, and she immediately submitted to Qin Nuo.
“Your Highness, please forgive me!” “This servant saw that the ladies were making such a ruckus, so I couldn’t help but speak up for the Empress without offending her in any way.”
“Enough!” “Qin Nuo laughed lightly, and did not reply to Zhuo Tao’s words. Everyone had already sat down for a while. Let’s go back and rest! When your highness comes back, I still need to discuss the location of the concubine with him, so I won’t keep you guys here! ”
After Shen Yixin heard this, she immediately stood up.
“Although a new person will be busy for a while after entering the manor, the Empress still has to take care of her body. Don’t be too tired!”
Qin Nuo smiled and said nothing to Shen Yixin. This Shen Yixin, who usually did not speak much, was not like Xia Yi Qiu, who was a soft person with a few views on things! I heard that they were often ridiculed by Mu Rulan and Mei Yue because they didn’t like him too much.
“concubine will take her leave!” Xia Yi Qiu stood up as well.
Seeing Xia Yi Qiu like this, the others also followed and took their leave. Qin Nuo did not say a word and only used his hands to support his head. Seeing that, the peaches hurriedly went forward to help Qin Nuo massage it. Ming Liu opened his eyes wide, seeing that everyone had gone out, he opened his mouth.
“Soon!” Qin Nuo casually replied. While holding onto Peaches’ hand, he stood up and looked at Zhuo Tao. Be careful when you talk to the girls later. No matter what the prince thought, the ladies’ identities were still there. When the news spread out, those who knew that you had a straightforward personality and those who didn’t, thought that you were relying on the power of the Imperial Concubine, if you were laughing behind his back at the fact that the Imperial Concubine didn’t know how to teach others, then that would not be good! ”
“Yes sir!” Zhuo Tao’s face immediately flushed red, and hurriedly admitted defeat. Your esteemed self is considerate, your servant will definitely change it! Learn from Little Sister Ming Liu and Little Sister Peaches. Don’t say what you shouldn’t say, and don’t do what you shouldn’t do. ”
Ming Liu curled her lips slightly, and did not say a word. At that moment, she did not have the time to care about Zhuo Tao, as she was wholeheartedly helping her mistress!
Yesterday, the Prince and the Empress had just arrived together, and this morning, the Empress had already known that the concubine was about to enter the palace. It was all for nothing! She thought that the prince was treating the Empress well! It was fortunate that those Kikuji s did not know that the Prince had a good relationship with the Empress, otherwise, they might not even know how to gossip behind her back!
