You are the One and Only - C35
Qin Nuo sat on the brick bed, watched the busy yet silent lass, and couldn’t help but smile.
Last night, Ling Yexuan left in a hurry with an ashen face. However, he had only called his “Empress” and hadn’t said anything. She was very clear that these lass were worried for her. It wasn’t a good thing to offend the Prince on their wedding night! Even though Jade Peaches, Ming Liu and Ying He knew that she had once been rushed to Qinxin, they still felt uneasy in their hearts. This time, there was one more concubine in the palace.
Ying He laughed, looked at Qing Luo, and the two left together.
It was one thing to accidentally sleep with him, but in a place like this where power reigned supreme, she had no other choice but to comfort herself. However, if she were to carelessly hand over her heart, she could foresee that in the future, she would be miserable! In order to prevent himself from being in such a miserable state, the best way was to stay far away from him.
“Don’t worry!” “After laughing, Qin Nuo said calmly. The Prince is the Prince, and the others are others. concubine is a lady of a noble family, she will definitely understand her own identity and not go against the rules! ”
He only knew how to cause trouble in secret! Naturally, Qin Nuo would not say the last sentence out loud.
“Empress!” Just as Qin Nuo finished speaking, Ying He walked in from outside. concubine requests an audience. ”
“Empress, look what this servant has to say!” According to the rules, concubine can only come to pay her a visit after returning to the sect. “Ming Liu immediately followed up with a face full of worry and a trace of disdain. It is because of concubine’s family background that she would not be willing to take the position of lateral consort. ”
Hearing Ming Liu’s words, Qin Nuo thought for a moment and smiled.
“Let concubine in!”
In any case, she would see him sooner or later, so she was a little curious about the one whom she liked, Ling Yexuan.
Ying He agreed and went out. In a moment, she saw a slim lady dressed in luxurious clothing, with a girl walking in gracefully.
The little girl was Zhuo Tao. Seeing Qin Nuo, Zhuo Tao was slightly startled as a trace of doubt flashed past her eyes. She immediately withdrew her gaze and suppressed the doubt in the bottom of her heart when she saw Qin Nuo’s gaze sweep towards her.
This new wangfei looked a bit too similar to the Empress who had already passed away! However, her expression did not seem to recognize her.
“Consort greets the Empress.” Jing Shuyi bowed deeply. The sound wasn’t loud, and it was as clear and agile as a brook. It gave one a very comfortable feeling.
This was the first time Qin Nuo had heard such a pleasant voice, and she couldn’t help but be startled.
“Get up! This was originally not a big day, so there’s no need for you to be so formal. ” Qin Nuo said while smiling. It’s just that I didn’t expect you to come so quickly. It’s hard for you to be considerate! Sit down! ”
Jing Shuyi seemed to not have noticed Qin Nuo’s ridicule, and after submitting to him, she sat down.
“It’s really hard for the Consort to hide her feelings of admiration towards the Empress, and she can’t care about the rules anymore. She only wants to pay her respects to the Empress as soon as possible, and hopes that the Empress doesn’t blame the Consort for being rude.”
Qin Nuo did not say anything, but picked up the tea from the table, took a sip, and slowly put it down.
Originally, she thought this Wei Guo Mansion was just a bit more beautiful, only because she was good at acting weak and pitiable, would be able to make a person like Ling Yexuan, who was moody and had never really touched his feelings, feel pity for his. Now that she’d met his, he looked completely different.
Needless to say, her face was so tender that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it. Her facial features were so exquisite that not a single blemish could be seen. There was a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, but it was not the delicate or gentle feeling she had imagined. Instead, it was more like a snowflake drifting in the moonlight on a winter night.
Qin Nuo could not help but sigh from the bottom of her heart. It seems that she had underestimated the demon’s aesthetic ability! There were so many concubines in the palace, but there was actually no one who could overshadow the light of this concubine!
“What’s so strange about that!” Qin Nuo looked straight at Jing Shuyi. I was just worried that you were too tired and should have taken more rest. ”
Once he said that, Qin Nuo was stunned. She had wanted to show the grace and magnanimity that a wangfei should have, but she felt that there was a hint of jealousy in her tone!
Jing Shuyi’s eyes flashed, but she did not continue speaking, and only smiled.
Qin Nuo did not ignore Ming Liu’s expression, it was just that she was thinking about something different from Ming Liu.
This concubine really couldn’t be underestimated! Her smile didn’t have the slightest shyness or timidity of a bride. She didn’t have any intention of showing off to anyone. Instead, it had a tinge of liveliness to it. It gave people a strange feeling of alienation!
Let alone Ling Yexuan, even she was confused by that smile!
Qin Nuo secretly took a deep breath.
She had always thought of Jing Shuyi as a b * tch with a white lotus, never putting him in her eyes. Now, she knew that this concubine was not as simple as she thought!
Qin Nuo knew that while she was observing Jing Shuyi, Jing Shuyi must have been sizing her up as well. She couldn’t help but smile slightly.
“Consort thanks the Empress for her sympathy.” Jing Shuyi laughed, and then said. If you think about how the Empress has yet to eat breakfast, Consort will not disturb you! ”
Although he said that, Jing Shuyi did not immediately stand up. Instead, he stood for a moment and seeing that Qin Nuo did not say anything, she stood up.
“After a few days, Consort will officially pay respects to the Empress. We should also get to know each other.”
“I’ll see him sooner or later, there’s no need to be in such a rush.” Qin Nuo looked at Jing Shuyi, his mouth raised into a light smile, as if he was deep in thought.
Jing Shuyi’s expression changed slightly, and quickly returned to normal.
“The Empress is right!” Consort said her farewells. ”
Jing Shuyi’s transformation did not escape her eyes. No matter how well they hid, they would still expose themselves. Jing Shuyi’s expression did not change, but her heart continued to thump hard. That’s true! With her position in the Chief Consort stolen from him twice, it would be strange if she was willing! However, she was so impatient to prove that she was the best candidate to be the Chief Consort.
“Empress!” Just as Jing Shuyi turned around, Ying He walked in, and quietly glanced at Jing Shuyi, and gently bit her lips, as she replied in a low voice. The eighth prince and the fifteenth palace are coming down. ”
“Please.” Qin Nuo said calmly.
Jing Shuyi was initially walking slowly, but upon hearing Ying He’s words, she was also startled. Her footsteps paused for a bit, and then continued to walk outwards as if nothing had happened, looking at Zhuo Tao again.
“The eighth and fifteenth princes are quite enthusiastic. Their prince has just gotten married and they’ve come already!”
After Zhuo Tao heard this, she immediately laughed.
“The eighth and fifteenth princes are on good terms with the previous Empress. Now that the new Empress is the deceased Empress’ older sister, it is only natural that she comes to pay a visit.”
Jing Shuyi and Zhuo Tao’s voices were neither high nor low, neither fast nor slow, and they did not intentionally lower their voices to look mysterious. Instead, it was as if they were chatting idly, as their every word and sentence landed in the ears of Qin Nuo and the few girls.
Ming Liu and Peaches looked at each other, but Ying He’s face suddenly changed. Just now, she had already reported this to the eighth and fifteenth princes that the concubine and Zhuo Tao were here, but the eighth and fifteenth princes didn’t mind. She never thought that Zhuo Tao would still be suspicious!
Jing Shuyi did not seem to understand Zhuo Tao’s words, she only laughed. When she came to the outer room, she saw that Eighth Brother and Old Fifteen were talking and laughing in whispers.
“Eighth Prince!” Fifteenth Prince! ”
“concubine!” “Ol ‘Eight stood up and cupped his hands towards Jing Shuyi. We are here to see the new third Sister-in-Law. It is truly rude to not know that the concubine is here as well. ”
“concubine?” Old Fifteen jumped down from the chair he was sitting on and started sizing up Jing Shuyi unrestrainedly. Oh, I know! You are Third Brother’s man … The one he loved? Shouldn’t you be with third brother? Why is it here in my third Sister-in-Law? ”
“Old Fifteen, don’t be rude!” “Ol ‘Eight coughed lightly and shouted in a low voice.” Although concubine is not a proper third Sister-in-Law, he is still Third Brother’s lateral consort, and can be considered sister-in-law! ”
“The eighth prince is too polite!” The smile on Jing Shuyi’s face was a little stiff, but he did not dare offend the two in front of him.
Her heart had always been with Ling Yexuan, so she naturally knew the position of these two in his heart. It was fine if it was Old Fifteen. He was young and didn’t know anything, but Eighth Brother was very unfamiliar with her. The latter sentence was not scolding him, but rather reminding her to clearly see his identity!
