Prince Kisses Me Again: Volume 3

By Gu ShenShen

Suddenly, Miss Lu turned from an ugly girl to a great beauty. She had a bad temper and was ruthless in her actions. The moment she opened her mouth, she would retaliate at the cost of her life.

Those noble young masters who said "even if I die, I won't give you a second glance" all expressed their opinions, one after the other. It was so fragrant!

But the beauty was so beautiful that even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to think of a way to deal with her.

Afterwards, the enchanter-like Prince Rong had personally taken care of her.

The crowd asked for advice, "Beauty is trying to scam me, beat me up, and wish she could run away from me for a thousand miles. What should I do?"

Prince Rong said, "Kiss her."

… ….

The man who had almost frozen into an ice sculpture snatched her first kiss from him as soon as he opened his eyes.

Lu Qingning was so angry that she almost exploded on the spot. She stripped him clean and sent her silver needles into the fray, determined to get back at him.

But from then on, they were bound to have a bad fate.

A few days later, the Great Uncle came looking for him, and the moment he opened his mouth, he said, "I'll marry you."

Lu Qingning sucked in a breath of cold air, "Actually, I feel like you can send me a few pretty boys. Giving me some silver taels or something can help repay the debt of gratitude that you owe to me for saving my life."

His Royal Uncle then said, "If you see this duke's body, you must take responsibility!"

Lu Qingning: "... Royal Uncle, your style isn't right! What happened to the Flower of the High Mountains that was not too close to a woman? "

Why the heck did he kiss her every day when he caught her?

CHAPTER 201 - BIND HER AND BRING HER BACK TO THE PALACE TO SEE IMPERIAL UNCLE

The latter had an odd look on her face. After a short moment, she replied, I owe you a favor and am a good person.

She shook her head slightly and walked to the second floor.

Behind him, Xu Ran's gaze was a little puzzled, but she couldn't help but keep up with him …

After sitting down on the only empty seat, Xu Ran turned and said a few words to the shopkeeper behind him.

When he turned around and faced Qingning, he thought about the question that he had asked previously. His expression was still a little unnatural, and he immediately poured two cups of water from the teapot and passed it over.

In the eyes of the crowd, Qingning was extremely calm and composed.

Her expression was normal as she said, I know you have done a lot for me. Perhaps it is because you think that I have helped you before, but you are as indifferent to me as you are to me.

Good friend.

He finally got the main point out of her words.

Qingning said calmly: Since we are friends, why should we care about the opinions of others?

Xu Ran, who was sitting opposite to him, suddenly had a somewhat bitter smile on his face as he said, Your heart has such extravagant hopes, and is filled with fear.

Even though he already knew that these two words were the limit between them, he still couldn't help but hope for more.

It wasn't that they didn't have a tacit understanding with each other, but that everything was a bit too late.

Qingning's hand that was holding the cup of water suddenly trembled slightly. Even if she wasn't from the Ancient Era, she still understood the simple meaning of the cup.

The waiter just happened to arrive at that moment. With the four or five dishes on the table, the fragrance quickly dispersed the crowd's thoughts.

A peculiar glint flashed in her eyes. She raised her eyes and smiled. I'm hungry. Let's eat.

Finished speaking, he dipped his chopsticks into his food.

She was never good at talking about this aspect of things. One disaster was enough to cause headaches. As for the others, it was better to avoid them.

They were all common dishes. Even though the scenery was unique and the taste of the delicacies was good, they were unable to taste any of the delicacies. It was just that inexplicably, it gave people a very warm feeling.

Just like Xu Ran, although she felt very comfortable with him, they could only interact like friends.

The customers in the restaurant had also returned to eating their own meals from the start. The interaction between the two was too natural, to the point that no one could feel anything out of the ordinary.

Xu Ran consecutively added a few more dishes for her, but he didn't touch much of his own.

Qingning threw his head out and could not help but ask: Why aren't you eating?

She had always been the same when she ate. After she was done with the dishes a few times, she finally remembered to ask him.

Xu Ran had just lowered his head to pluck a few mouthfuls of blood when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs hastily.

The moment he lifted his head, he saw Princess An Yi coming over and hurriedly stand in front of the table.

He questioned: Why are you hiding from me?

The waiter who was chasing after them gasped for breath, but he didn't dare to actually go up to stop this Jadeite, so he could only stand a few steps away in a difficult situation and look at Qingning and Yue Shuang.

Xu Ran slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and said indifferently: Princess, it's time for lunch.

So... Aren't you playing with the little princess?

Why don't you come with me to the lake?

The little princess continued to question.

This humble official is busy with official business.

This question and answer was rather official.

Just as Qingning was thinking this, before something happened with his Changle Workshop, he was already able to see the hints that the little princess had taken a fancy to Xu Ran.

But now, he was able to block it in front of the crowd. From this, it could be seen that his progress was extraordinary.

She just watched quietly, as if … When he was full, he thought about it a little more. In short, he didn't say anything from the start.

For some reason, Princess An Yi's beautiful fingers turned and landed on her body, Since you're so busy, why are you still free to accompany her to eat?

The gazes of the crowd, which had finally dispersed with great difficulty, quickly gathered once again at this location.

In the past few days, who didn't know that the Emperor Beihe's precious princess had taken a fancy to the new assistant minister.

Did he get shot while lying down?

Qingning also didn't understand how the little princess' theory formed. If she wanted to do it, then so be it.

But before she could speak, Xu Ran stood up first and said: This humble subject's private matter, Princess has overstepped her boundaries.

His tone was still gentle, but his words did not leave the slightest bit of mercy.

In a split-second, the little princess' eyes began to fill with tears. Xu … Xu Ran... How dare you talk to me like that! "

Previously, he did not accept her adoration, but because of his status, he had always been very gentle and kind.

Is it because of her?

Princess An Yi's face turned red from holding in her anger, and finally focused her attention on the woman in front of her.

At first glance, his face turned red and then green, making him look even more wonderful.

Lu... Lu Qingning! You... Isn't it dead? "

Being doubted in public, Qingning said indifferently: I'll have to trouble you to remember, Princess. I'm still alive.

Originally, the peach blossom mark on her face was nowhere to be seen, and not many people in the building could recognize her. However, after being called by the princess, everyone's eyes immediately lit up.

Why are you two together?

This was probably something that everyone present wanted to ask as well. After not knowing whether his fiancee was dead or alive for dozens of days, on the first day of his life, he was miraculously caught by Princess An Yi and had a secret meeting with the vice minister. Such an explosive piece of gossip was enough to liven up Yongan City for a while.

At this moment, she knew that it was useless not to listen to the old man. There were always some oddities in this world that would appear out of nowhere, catching you off guard.

Eat.

Qingning and Xu Ran answered in unison.

With the two of them acting in such a tacit understanding and not hiding anything, Princess An Yi's beautiful face turned red from anger. She became even angrier as she said, You would rather eat with her than swim in the lake with me?

Although Qingning really didn't know what kind of connection existed between the two of them, but in front of so many people, it was still necessary to say that there was no relation between the two matters in the first place.

Before he could speak, he heard Xu Ran's reply, No.

The little princess' face lit up with happiness, You're just a coincidence, aren't you?

He glanced at Qingning before continuing, Even if I don't eat with Qingning, I won't swim the lake with the princess.

Her phoenix-like eyes slightly shifted onto him, answering without any hesitation.

Minister Xu, didn't you really pull her as a scapegoat?

In the next moment, he saw the little princess fall back unsteadily with the support of a maid supporting her from behind.

Even though it wasn't a big move, it was enough to tell that the princess had taken a huge blow.

Were the men of this era not so reserved when they rejected admirers?

In the past, Qingning thought that for a person as gentle as Xu Ran, he wouldn't be able to resist much when she pounced on him.

Now it seemed that her thinking was wrong.

He didn't really like girls with a princess's temper before, but now was not a good time to add oil to the fire. He wanted to remind Xu Ran that he should reject more subtly.

This was, after all, the emperor's daughter. An accident would directly affect her career and life.

An Yi's gaze shifted, landing on her, as he suddenly became extremely angry, You, a married woman, even seduced this princess!

He had been full of confidence all his life, and he was sure that everyone in the building would hear him clearly.

Those who were eating and drinking stood up and kept looking at the second floor.

Qingning was rendered speechless by her words. There was no one left for such a princess who possessed the light attribute of Eight Trigrams.

He took a sip of water and said lightly, Firstly, I am not a married woman.

The marriage agreement with Qin Huo was nothing more than a piece of thin air, what more the fact that they had never met before.

Secondly, Xu Ran doesn't seem to belong to the princess, right?

As she asked this question, the people inside the building were already laughing in an unkind manner.

This was the only one with such a strong amount of wishful thinking. If not for the wealth of the Emperor Beihe, who knows what kind of scolding he would have received from the people.

Now it was just a joke.

Princess An Yi's face flushed red, but she could not find any words to refute.

Qingning's cherry lips slightly rose, and continued to speak: Third, is the princess slandering me like this because she wants me to get involved with the Lord Xu?

Perhaps it was because she had been with that scourge for so long, but her words were actually capable of choking people to death.

Forcing logic!

An Yi bellowed, he extended his hand and tugged at her: When you meet prince, let's see how you still have the face to argue!

When this matter came to Qin Huo's front, Qingning suddenly felt a headache. His relationship with Xu Ran, which was originally as calm as water, instantly became difficult to explain.

This may be... It was a feeling of being afraid of being misunderstood by someone.

His palm heated up as a wave of Flame Qi spread out.

At this moment, Princess An Yi, who was holding onto her hand, cried out in alarm and immediately flung her hand away, You are just being a guilty conscience, to actually intend to harm this princess.

Qingning knew that she was losing more and more control over her energy.

After a moment of silence, Princess An Yi asked Xu Ran: You're really not willing to accompany me?

His voice contained a hint of threat, but the latter still persisted in shaking her head.

The Little Princess suddenly ordered, instructing a few maids, Bind her and bring her back to the palace to see the prince, see what else she has to say!

CHAPTER 202 - DON'T REGRET IT

Everyone stretched their necks to look at this rare piece of gossip:

The Prince Rong Concubine appeared in secret meeting with the Minister Xu, the Princess kidnapped the Imperial Aunt out of love and hatred!

Bringing her in front of Qin Huo was probably the most cruel punishment this little princess could think of.

It was true that normal men would be unable to contain their anger when they met with this kind of thing, let alone the Prince Rong who was unfathomable in his happiness and anger.

Qingning had just rejected the idea of going with him to the Changming Palace in the morning, if she was kidnapped by him because of this kind of thing, she would not be able to explain herself.

Immediately, she frowned: An Yi, is that how the royal family rules teach you?

To a slut like you, what rules do you need to talk about?

The princess swept her eyes over the crowd with a cold gaze, beckoning a group of maids to gather around her.

Qingning raised his hand and slapped her across the face.

You … I am a princess, and offending you is a capital offense!

This slap came without any warning. An Yi reached out his hand to cover his swollen and red face, his eyes filled with disbelief.

It was not just an impact with power, but Qingning's palm seemed to bring about a burst of raging flames, as if it was about to burn her entire face, causing An Yi to panic a little.

I hit you, princess!

She was also a little angry. The Little Princess was like a golden branch of jade, how could she talk to someone as a slut?

This kind of education was not much better than being a commoner in the city.

In the past, there were rumors that kept them deep in the palace to entertain the citizens, but no one knew what the actual situation was, until recently, when An Yi took a fancy to the Minister Xu and often ran out of the palace. This happened a lot, and the bad temper of many princesses were exposed in front of others.

Even if the Son of Heaven's beloved daughter did something that shouldn't have been done, the others still wouldn't dare to say anything.

But Qingning's slap was extremely satisfying.

There were even scattered people clapping their hands on the seats. An Yi's attention shifted as he said with an angry tone: Whoever dares to laugh, this princess will kill your entire family!

Completely silent, Qingning rubbed his hot palms.

His expression was the same as he said, The princess doesn't have any official position, so there's no point in saying those words about punishing her entire family.

The people of the imperial family had always liked to scare people with these words. In fact, even in the history of Beiqin, there were very few people who would commit murder and wipe out their entire family.

Tears filled her eyes as she looked at Xu Ran: It's always the truth that she has committed an offense. Xu Ran, you saw it with your own eyes, why aren't you locking her up yet.

As expected, she was someone who was caught in the crossfire. The Little Princess' focus had always been on Minister Xu.

Xu Ran's expression turned slightly cold, and said gently, According to our seniority, the princess is a junior, and...

He only said this sentence, but the meaning behind it was extremely obvious.

Qingning was the fiancee of Prince Rong, even Princess An Yi would have to call her Imperial Aunt if she saw him.

But halfway through his words, his words caused everyone's attention to be focused on him.

This humble official will take his leave today, regardless of court matters …

Someone on the seat spat out a mouthful of tea. Everyone knew that Lord Xu would not rest for even a month after taking up his position, and his official's robe would not leave his body.

The little princess was about to explode with anger when she heard this reasoning.

You … Xu Ran, don't you regret this!

An Yi's mouth could not lift it, and the other half of his face quickly became swollen like a red lump.

He no longer looked at him, and turned back to Qingning, unable to care about the pain, his hand grabbing onto her, and he walked out of the building.

Whoever gets into such a miserable state, we'll see the truth from Changming Palace!

The disaster had only just returned to his Yongan today, and he had already gone to the Changming Palace. Presumably, the entire place had already received the news, and this meant that he had hardened his heart to bring the matter before him.

Qingning tried his best to shake her off but still failed to do so.

This woman was indeed extraordinary when she was ruthless.

Princess An Yi!

She held still, but her hand was in her grasp, and the two sides were in a deadlock.

An Yi obviously didn't want to talk to her, so he scolded: What are you guys standing there for, hurry up and make your move!

It seemed that as long as he brought Lu Qingning in front of Qin Huo, she would be able to recover the face she had lost at the Nan Ping Restaurant.

Qingning frowned, a wave of displeasure spreading across his heart, his entire body filled with Flame Qi.

The maids all retreated in alarm but Princess An Yi insisted, Hide what? This princess is fine, how could I scald all of you servants to death?

All of the maids did not dare to retreat as they immediately took Qingning's hands and pushed them away, causing his arms to become frighteningly hot.

However, Qingning's consciousness had gradually sunk into chaos from the start. The sight of a floor full of customers, An Yi and the maids' faces all started to turn blurry.

Damn it!

The Flame Qi actually flared up at this moment.

She tried to force herself to wake up, but her body could not help but slump.

Qingning... Qingning, what happened to you?

Xu Ran revealed a look of worry as he rushed over.

Although An Yi didn't know what was going on with her, he could see that she was powerless to resist him. A look of happiness flashed past her eyes.

He then glanced at Minister Xu, who still had not a hint of regret even now, and felt even more unhappy. He flung his sleeves and left with the group of maids.

The princess's carriage was downstairs, and the group of people walked in quickly. In a blink of an eye, Qingning had thrown him in.

Princess!

Xu Ran, who was not in a hurry the entire time, could not help but be enraged, and quickly caught up.

When the curtain fell, the groom was still there, as if waiting for his master's orders.

He took three steps and called to the horse, Princess.

The lady in the carriage lifted the curtain, revealing half of An Yi's face that could still be considered peaceful. With eyes that were filled with anticipation, she asked: Xu Ran, do you regret it?

Qingning laid on the carriage as he struggled to breathe.

An Yi had only brought a few maids with her when she left the door, yet she had created a situation where most of the life and death situations she lived in had never been in such a sorry state before. Now that she was trapped inside and unable to escape, she became even clearer on the situation.

It turned out that the raging flames on her body were already in a state where they would erupt at any moment.

When she thought about how the person inside the Changming Palace was a scourge, her mind was thrown into chaos and she became even more confused.

Xu Ran, who was below the carriage, only stopped for a short moment.

An Yi immediately pulled down his face, and shouted angrily: Return to the palace!

The long whip was swung and landed on the back of the horse. The horse was startled and the carriage in front could not control itself.

Qingning's bumpiness made him even more uncomfortable.

Everyone's eyes from the Nan Ping Restaurant followed them for a long way. The carriage turned a few corners, and Xu Ran's figure was nowhere to be seen.

An Yi's gaze shifted, and the long whip in his hands whizzed towards Qingning.

She stretched out her hand and gripped it tightly. She also clearly knew that this princess was not a delicate woman like the one she had in the palace.

Let go! Let me give you a few lashes to vent your anger. Maybe I can still consider bringing you to prince.

An Yi said with a cold smile.

Although she looked weak, the hand holding the whip was unambiguous.

Qingning pointed between his brows and forced himself to wake up. The corner of his lips curled up into a cold smile.

Are you that sure I won't live?

CHAPTER 203 - PROTECTIVE SHORTENING

The faces of the maids in the carriage changed, the relationship between An Yi and the Prince Rong was not that good, and their characters were unpredictable but they were just spread around the palace.

Although she didn't know how the disaster would react, she couldn't reveal it.

An Yi's face also became pale as she said: You did such a thing, could it be that you're hoping that prince will be able to tolerate you?

It was just a meal with another man, if An Yi was not jealous, he would not have caused such a ruckus. However, since the matter had been set off, regardless of whether he could enter the Changming Palace today, the news would still spread.

When Qingning thought about this, he became very calm, "Princess, do you still remember Qin Yixuan?

At that time, he was extremely famous in the Yongan City, and most probably not many people remembered him even though he was demoted to the borders.

It seems like he was only able to use his wrong hand to send me a secret signal. Your prince had already crippled his hands, and he still hasn't recovered from it …

Her head was covered in sweat. Her tone was light, but for no reason it made people's hearts tremble.

The long whip in An Yi's hand seemed to suddenly catch on fire, as though it was being held in his hand until it was boiling hot, and he immediately released it.

The head that she was holding onto also fell to the ground at the same time, her eyes signaled the maids to hurry up and retract it, but she continued to speak on the surface: Qin Yixuan deserved it, what right do you have to think too much!

The reason why the Prince Rong treated her like this was really hard to understand, but this was not enough to explain anything.

The princess and her carriage sped by. The atmosphere in the carriage was very strange.

Although Qingning was somewhat more clear-headed, he still did not have enough strength on his body to leave. Even so, he still couldn't let the little princess have an easy time.

Just as he was thinking about this, the horse's hooves approached from behind him.

Princess... Wait, Princess!"

One of the servant lifted the curtain to take a look, causing An Yi's expression to turn ugly, What are you waiting for, quickly ride your horse into the palace!

This voice was filled with anger. Qingning looked outside the window and immediately felt an unspeakable internal injury.

Looking at Princess An Yi's expression, one could tell how much of a mistake Xu Ran made in chasing after her.

He was an orthodox scholar who had probably never ridden a horse in his life. Looking at his anxious expression, it was hard to tell if he was riding a horse or carrying a horse.

In short, he was the one who was driving around the streets.

Most of the people could not understand why Princess An Yi, who had always been in hot pursuit of the Minister Xu, would suddenly turn into a Minister Xu and gallop his horse after the princess.

Qingning could not help but say: He does not know how to ride horses!

After this was said, the rest was left to the little princess to mend her own thoughts.

Thinking that it was indeed effective, An Yi's expression became unspeakable for a moment. When the carriage reached the entrance of the palace, it stopped.

The man who was chasing after the car finally saw some light.

However, An Yi's gaze merely paused for a moment, and after it landed on Qingning's body, it instantly became unyielding again.

The guard inspected the keepsake, and the moment the palace door opened, he heard the little princess say with a ruthless heart, Hurry and leave!

Qingning's phoenix eyes instantly became unspeakable. Sometimes, when women get jealous, it's really scary.

Just like that, the little princess' sweetheart was thrown to the back. Even after she entered the entrance, she still had to meet that person.

If only he had known earlier, he would have entered the palace with Zhang Xuan.

Now that it had become like this, even if she and Xu Ran were extremely innocent, it would still make people feel that they would not be able to escape from those lecherous news.

She couldn't help but wipe away her sweat, thinking that if she saw that person later, she had nothing else to say.

Princess An Yi scoffed, Isn't it too late to be afraid now?

After going a bit further, the carriage stopped moving, and they were able to get back in time to prepare their carriage. They then started to walk towards the Changming Palace.

Qingning's body was slightly weak, after forcing himself to sit on the carriage, he was quickly supported by two maids.

Naturally, she would not reject such a task that would conserve energy. Who knew what the outcome would be when she saw the consequences later on?

A thought struck her and she suddenly felt that if she let him know that her relationship with Xu Ran was not shallow, maybe …

After all, Xu Ran was much easier to deal with than disasters, he just had to be implicated by her.

Along the way, An Yi was furious. One side of his face was so swollen that he couldn't even cover his palms.

He could vaguely see that the princess' maid was holding onto the hand of Prince Rong's fiancee, who had been missing for many days.

Now that they were deep inside the palace, there was yet another new set of secret matters. As they looked in the direction of the Changming Palace, some of the good news began to follow from afar.

The scarlet door to the Changming Palace was still the same, compared to the bustling concubine chamber, there was more silence and less grandeur.

The guards were also exceptionally calm, the Eunuch Wang in front of the palace door laughed and said: The Prince Rong is inside.

There was nothing else.

If it was any other time, An Yi would have turned around and left.

Qingning naturally knew that the danger was here, even though he had heard the confirmation, his heart still skipped a beat.

The group of maids behind him whispered into An Yi's ears. Princess, why don't we just forget about it?

Although it looked like An Yi held the upper hand, in front of the Prince Rong whose thoughts were hard to predict, he was not that confident in anything.

What's more, the little princess' lover was also involved.

However, An Yi clenched his teeth and said: Why should I forget about it? This princess has not seen the prince for so long, since I have reached the Changming Palace, I should at least go in and pay respects.

Although she said this, her lips were a little pale.

Seeing that, Qingning slowly calmed down.

Even if it was to let Qin Huo see through some matters, he wouldn't kill her in the end.

This may be... It was the best ending between them.

Please, Princess An Yi!

Qingning said indifferently. Some things would become more open-minded after thinking it through.

Eunuch Wang was surprised for a moment, This isn't Prince Rong …

Before she could say anything, a person with scarlet sleeves dashed over. His aura was unstable as he grabbed onto her sleeve.

Everyone... It's all my fault, I'll explain it to Prince Rong first.

Qingning turned his head around, only to see that Xu Ran was also sweating profusely. His official hat was bent, and his lower robe was rumpled on the horse's back, but he could not hide the warmth from his young master.

For some reason, her lips suddenly curved into a smile.

Then he said, How do you explain something like that? How can it be explained?

Xu Ran was startled for a moment, and said a moment later: Indeed.

Eunuch Wang and the guards were confused by the two people, but An Yi became even angrier: You do not need to explain, the prince has his own decisions.

Slut like you should be hacked into pieces …

Before she could finish her sentence, she heard the low voice of the person inside saying, Who wants to be cut to pieces?

When this voice rang out, there was instantly no sound at all.

All of the servants lowered their heads, and even the two people supporting Qingning consciously retreated.

The figure of Xu Ran, who was beside her, immediately went forward to support her, and the movements of the two of them became even more intimate.

An Yi bit her lips, and said with an almost pale face: prince, it's her, this slut actually colluded with my Xu Ran behind your back!

At the beginning, he was submissive, but as he spoke, he became more confident.

The palace gate guards slowly dispersed and the afternoon sun shone brightly. Qin Huo, dressed in profound clothes, walked over with no expression on his face.

A few of the young eunuch s that sent him back had their expressions change slightly at this moment.

Qingning looked at him and unconsciously shifted away. He felt that there was nothing to say.

By his side, Xu Ran supported his palms and was the first to speak: Prince Rong …

Shut up!

Qin Huo was caught off guard by his words.

For a moment, the expression on the face of the gentle young master was unable to remain calm, but he still insisted on opening his mouth to explain.

In the next moment, Qingning, who was holding onto him, was pulled over, Why did you not come when I told you to, and why are you doing it in such a bustling manner?

His tone was blaming nothing, and even she felt a little light-headed when she heard it. Her body fell powerlessly into his arms, as warm as ever.

The next moment, he was flung in front of the palace gate and forced himself to stand firmly. He vaguely felt that this person's arrogant and delicate temperament was about to rise again.

prince!

Princess An Yi was unable to react in time, and wanted to jump up and down. This slut is carrying you and another man on her back …

The little princess was very excited. Her voice was breaking, and she hadn't finished speaking.

Qin Huo flicked his finger, and a black shadow flew into An Yi's throat, instantly becoming silent.

The old man in the hall said in a healthy voice: Little Four, what happened outside?

In fact, they could still hear him clearly. Immediately, a servant came out to narrate the news, and seeing how lively the Changming Palace was, she asked softly: Prince Rong, how do I go back?

Qin Huo said loudly: Lu has come to see Granny.

Everyone in front of the palace gate had different expressions, upon hearing his words, Qingning immediately became uncertain.

prince, you already brought a green hat, do you still want to protect her?

He did not know how An Yi managed to swallow that thing. According to Qingning's past experience, it should be an ink jade chess piece.

She even hit me in the face. Look... father will not let her off so easily!

Qin Huo's eyes darkened a little when he heard about the green hat, adding another sentence.

With a wave of his profound sleeve, a fierce wind swept onto the other side of An Yi's perfectly fine face.

With an unchanged expression, he asked, Is this the way to fight?

The strength was just right, and the swelling and redness on both sides were quite even.

An Yi covered his face and stood there in a daze, his eyes still filled with disbelief.

All of them knelt down in unison, shivering, and lowered their heads in complete silence.

Before anyone could have any reaction, he swung his sleeve again, overlapping on the half of Qingning's face that had been slapped.

Still like this?

CHAPTER 204 - FORCED MARRIAGE

The Little Princess finally could not take it anymore and fell limply to the ground, crying as she asked: prince! How can you be so unreasonable?

Qingning actually wanted to add one more sentence, this disaster was never reasonable.

However, even though the person in front of him was expressionless, his eyes were frightening and he immediately shut his mouth without saying a word.

You can go and complain in front of your father, this king just so happens to want to ask royal brother, how did this king's wife become a slut?

When Qin Huo opened his mouth, there was no warmth at all, in an instant it made people feel like they were falling into a cave of ice.

An Yi did not dare cry anymore as he stepped forward to support her.

He said in a low voice, Let's go, princess.

She then looked at Xu Ran, and saw that Qingning was standing with his back against the door, it must be because his family was ugly, so he immediately ran away.

As Qingning listened, he felt quite uncomfortable.

He didn't even look at her, yet she felt like he couldn't say a single word.

The next moment, he saw the other party's eyes fall on his body. In that instant, he felt as though something bad had happened …

Xu Ran stepped forward and said something, but just as he opened his mouth, he shouted, Prince Rong...

Qin Huo's expression remained indifferent, and she ignored him, dragging Qingning who was at the side and walking towards the Changming Palace.

The grip on her hand was too tight. She didn't have any strength left in her body. She was almost pulled into his embrace again.

Xu Ran wanted to follow along, but just as he moved, he was blocked by the Eunuch Wang. He carried a smiling face that had not changed for hundreds of years, and asked: Minister Xu looks so hurried, and is not fully clothed yet, what important matter do you have to attend to in the Changming Palace?

When he reached the front of the hall, he did not say a single word, but his expression was obviously cold.

At first, Qingning struggled a little, but later on he realized that it was all useless.

Basically, his entire focus was on, thinking that Xu Ran was still being made a fool at the palace gate.

He could not help but say, About that... The disaster, really has nothing to do with Xu Ran …

Just as she mentioned Xu Ran, Qin Huo's expression became even more unsightly.

Coincidentally arriving at the entrance of the palace, he grabbed her waist and muttered: Try bringing up another Xu Ran!

Why did Xu Ran become so intimate with nature instead of the countless evasions she had gotten along with him?

Qingning did not say anything, what was she explaining just now?

His original thoughts had long been forgotten, and he actually …

Thinking about how this scourge did not make it difficult for Xu Ran just now, her bringing up of this matter again was simply adding something suspicious to the two of them who did not have anything to begin with.

However, the old nanny who was lifting the curtains laughed and reported towards the hall: Returning to Grand Empress Dowager, Prince Rong has gone to fetch Second Miss Lu.

This pair of mummies had a very intimate attitude. Even though their expressions were unclear, it did not affect their beauty in the slightest.

A hearty laughter came from inside the hall. Qin Huo's slightly cold expression also became noticeably warmer after stepping through the door. Although the way she hugged him was intimate, she didn't say a single word.

Qingning thought that this scourge was probably a little unhappy.

It wasn't good to act up in front of Grand Empress Dowager either, and if he endured it, he didn't know if he would suffocate this fellow to death.

She did not meet the storm that she had imagined, so naturally, she did not manage to use her complicated and cautious heart. It was obvious that nothing had happened yet, but she was instead depressed by this Qin Huo.

Qingning!

The people of the four palaces were copying the scrolls, the Grand Empress Dowager was seated in the middle of the hall, with his hair flying in the wind, he appeared to be in high spirits.

Seeing her come over, he put down the scroll in his hand and greeted her with a smile.

She seemed to be unable to stand steadily, and only after warming up a little in Qin Huo's embrace did she manage to cool down a little.

Seeing this kind old man, she smiled back, but she really didn't have the strength to take a step forward.

You really want to stay here!

Qin Huo brought Qingning to a cushion at the side, and with her wide sleeves fluttering as a cover, she fell down and sat down, in order to not be discovered by others.

Ye Zichen sat straight and wiped his sweat, pretending that his body was normal.

Yet, she fell so far that she couldn't find her way to the north. With such strength, it seemed that she was truly displeased with this disaster.

He couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Qin Huo, but the latter didn't seem to notice her expression at all, and said to the Grand Empress Dowager, "Royal Grandmother, I still have some matters to attend to.

After he finished speaking, Grand Empress Dowager held Qingning's hand and nodded: You may go.

Plagiarism?

What the hell is this? Before Qingning could even finish speaking, that person had already left the hall with his clothes fluttering in the wind.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't say a single word to her.

But she left him at the Changming Palace, accompanying the Grand Empress Dowager.

Qingning's cherry lips slightly opened, but in the end she did not make a sound. Could it be that she could stop this disaster at this moment?

Her complexion was not good. Although she looked a lot better than when she was on An Yi's horse carriage, she was still abnormally red. Grand Empress Dowager's eyes were not very good.

Perhaps, they felt that it was inevitable for them to blush and feel their heartbeats quicken upon meeting each other.

She lowered her head to flip through a No dust book and pretended to read it, but actually, she did not manage to read even half a word of it.

It has been a long time since we last met, but Qingning has actually become quite thin.

Grand Empress Dowager observed her for a while and said.

Qingning's hand that was flipping through the book stopped there, and didn't ask her about it.

It was just a simple sentence, but it caused her to feel slightly moved.

He opened his mouth and said, Thank you, Grand Empress Dowager, for your concern. It's just that the weather has been getting hot recently, so I can't eat much.

she explained.

How can that be? Ah Jing has recently cooked up a few interesting vegetarian dishes. When the maid learns them, she'll let two of them go to your place.

Qingning looked up and realized that the person sitting opposite him was none other than Grand Princess Jing Xin.

Originally, when the calamity was added on to their family reunion, her sudden intervention was a bit sudden, and it was not good for her to sever all of the elderly's good intentions.

He then lightly said, Thank you Grand Empress Dowager for your kind intentions …

Look at you, why are you still so unfamiliar with me after coming back from a trip?

The Grand Empress Dowager laughed and chided. The sandalwood fragrance slowly spread throughout the hall.

Qingning's gaze unknowingly fell in the direction Qin Huo had left in. No matter how hard he tried, he could not understand what exactly he meant by his current attitude.

Her phoenix-like eyes were slightly vacant as she sat in the hall beside him. It was obvious that her soul had left her.

A few of the old nanny s could clearly see what was going on and laughed as they passed on their colors.

The Grand Empress Dowager laughed: That's true, only by marrying into her own clan can we get closer.

The Grand Princess who was reciting the most seriously revealed a faint smile, What Grandmother said is extremely true. I wonder when Little Four will be able to resolve this matter of yours.

The old people in the hall all laughed, but Qingning's gaze was still fixed on that place, his expression a little absent-minded.

Grand Empress Dowager replied: I just wonder when this lady will …

With a sudden change in topic, everyone's gaze landed on her.

Second Miss Lu... Second Miss Lu...

The court attendant called out to her several times.

Finally, he emphasized the volume, Grand Empress Dowager is talking to you!

Huh?

Qingning was only just about to regain her senses, her phoenix eyes were still somewhat puzzled.

His thoughts had already flown beyond the ninth heaven, so how could he clearly hear what these people were saying?

What did Grand Empress Dowager say just now?

The group could not hold back their laughter. Jing Xin smiled lightly and asked directly, Grandmother is asking you, when will you be able to officially enter the Qin Clan?

Grand Princess had been in the air for many years, it was rare for him to reveal such a smile in front of others.

Qingning thought back to what the Qin Family members probably had in common, and every time they laughed, they would give her a new kind of awkwardness.

For example … Forced marriage.

At that time, the reason why they had made the engagement agreement with Qin Huo was precisely because of the difference in interests between the two sides.

She had always felt that this transaction was only a matter between her and Qin Huo, and had nothing to do with anyone else.

Now it seemed that she had been too simplistic.

Thousand Sail got hold of it, the poison in Qin Huo's body was being purged quickly, and she was also in danger.

By now, would she be able to walk away as she initially thought?

The corners of Qingning's mouth twitched, for a moment, the Flame Qi on his body couldn't even compare to the torment he was feeling in his heart.

After a moment of silence, His Highness finally heard her speak in a light voice, I am at ease with your fate, at ease with your thoughts.

Her finger stopped just at the line of the Dustless Record page, and when she was speechless, she read it out loud.

This sentence was indeed the best outcome for her and Qin Huo.

At this moment, the expressions of the people in the hall were somewhat subtle. Grand Empress Dowager and Jing Xin looked at each other and understood a lot.

After the two of them returned from this trip, it was obvious that something was different.

Qin Huo was indescribably happy and angry, but wasn't Qingning the type that would rather die than talk about it.

Jing Xin withdrew his gaze and lightly folded a corner of the book in his hand before handing it to her. He then lightly said, Grandmother, it's about time. I'll go out for a while.

CHAPTER 205 - WHO AM I TO YOU

Grand Empress Dowager said: This one is also a little tired. Let's rest for a bit.

Everyone supported the old man and stood up. Seeing that, Qingning forced himself to stand up.

She continued, Since you have the time, you should just stay here and watch for a while longer. Young people should focus more on comprehending things.

He turned around and said sincerely.

After Qingning heard this, he sat back down and said, Okay.

After Grand Princess and the rest left, more than half of the people in the hall left in the blink of an eye.

She took a deep breath and felt that today's incident was rather irritating.

Fortunately, Grand Empress Dowager only told her to sit here. Actually, she didn't have the strength to stand up and follow him.

He was still holding onto the Stainless Record that Jing Xin had given to her, and with a flip of his hand, it landed on the folded page.

In the first line, the first sentence read, Do as you wish, stay still.

Qingning hurriedly closed his eyes and recalled how Qin Huo did not have any expression on his face, but his entire body was emitting cold air.

What did it mean to show her?

The move of the book was a little too big. The court lady by the side hurriedly asked: What happened to Miss?

She could only turn the page to the first page as if nothing had happened. She pretended to look at the first page, as if she could not care less about the marriage.

He copied the scripture and calmed his mind, eliminating all the Flame Qi in her body.

Strangely enough, as she wrote like this, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of copywriting. No one knew how many words she had written.

As she comprehended the meaning of the brush, she began to write. Although her speed was slow, the brush strokes were graceful and generous.

A gentle breeze blew through the window, and the Flame Qi that she was wearing retreated unconsciously.

Qingning could not help but think that the ancients had always said that it was a method to cultivate the mind and temper the body.

As soon as her body calmed down, she could not help but feel a little dizzy. The few court ladies who did not know how tired they were could not help but put down their pens, dozing off as they looked at the increasingly incomprehensible sentences in the books.

Scrolls were not small, so she stood up and took a closer look, trying to make herself clear, but the result was the complete opposite.

A gentle breeze caressed her face, and the fragrance of sandalwood wafted in the air.

As the words on the book became more and more blurry, she couldn't help but begin to nudge back to sleep.

When the court ladies on both sides saw this, they covered their mouths and snickered.

Seeing a black robe standing lightly in front of the door, she quickly bowed and greeted, Rong …

Qin Huo lowered her voice and gestured for her to sit down. The man who was standing and dozing off suddenly woke up, and looked towards the entrance of the hall with a glimmer in his eyes.

That person naturally withdrew his sleeve. It was as if he had coincidentally raised his hand.

Slowly walking in, the group of palace servants packed up the things in their hands and silently retreated.

Qingning wanted to say something, but when she saw his expressionless face, she was unable to open her mouth.

As Qin Huo took off his clothes, sat down on the opposite side of the table, took out his brush and dipped it in ink, then completely ignored her.

Calamity …

There was no one around, she whispered.

The person slightly lowered his head, clearly not giving her any reaction.

Qingning couldn't help but to react to Ao Jiao's reaction.

Recently, the Grand Empress Dowager had become more and more trusting of fate, not because he was superstitious about ghosts and gods, but because he felt that this Desolation Record could help him calm his heart and awaken his mind.

Qin Huo more or less did not believe all this, but he was a filial person, it was not strange that he would help to plagiarize someone.

But in this large hall, only she and Qin Huo were left. Adding to the events from before, how could the atmosphere be so strange?

Qin Huo...

Qingning closed the book, her phoenix eyes falling on his face, as she tried to find the slightest bit of difference.

However, his expression was indifferent as his gaze fell onto the book. Everything was so calm that it seemed out of place, causing her heart to become much colder.

Since it was nothing important to begin with, Qingning could not help but suspect him.

Thinking about it this way, he also calmed down a lot, continuing to hold the book in his hands as if nothing had happened.

His surroundings were so quiet that even the rustling of his brush could be heard clearly. When Qingning landed on the page, his gaze unknowingly fell on.

Sunlight shone through the small window, shining on his jade-like face. At this moment, his movements were graceful and carried the aura of a king.

If Qingning had the best harvest from his trip here, then he would probably have met with Qin Huo, a beautiful guy who was sought after by the whole world.

He did not speak, and Qingning did not speak either.

This seemed to be their greatest mutual understanding.

After looking for a long time, she could not see any change in Qin Huo's expression, her eyes were in pain, and she was no longer tired even while sitting.

Thus, he started to silently recite the Stainless Record with a voice as soft as the wind.

The method of diverting attention is sometimes very useful.

For example, her. Just now, because she was still feeling uneasy for Qin Huo, this thing immediately had stars in its eyes, and did not have any thoughts of thinking anymore.

When Qin Huo finished writing the entire page, her voice had already been broken for a long time.

Out of the corner of her eyes, she couldn't help but take a glance. The Desolation Record covered half of her face, and her entire head seemed to droop lifelessly onto the table. Her upper and lower eyelids seemed to be in a stalemate.

Her slightly swollen cherry lips seemed to be glowing with water as she softly muttered to herself.

Qin Huo's originally slightly cold expression suddenly eased, and her thin lips couldn't help but slightly raise.

This kind of Qingning was much more interesting than that weak girl who only knew how to dodge.

Gently putting down the brush and ink in her hands, she walked over to her side with light footsteps, and her hand involuntarily extended to her rosy cherry lips.

He could still clearly remember the wonderful feeling here. As he gently caressed it, his eyes were filled with gentleness and intoxicating gentleness.

The hand that Qingning supported on the paper moved slightly, causing the book to fall to the ground.

Before he was completely awake, his head suddenly smashed onto the table. Qin Huo quickly put his hand on the table.

His forehead struck the palm of his hand and Qingning cried out in pain. He rubbed his forehead and raised his head, Why are you standing in front of me?

Qin Huo withdrew his hand without leaving a trace, and the remaining fragrance was still present.

Mo Tong glanced at her with a cold face and said indifferently, Saliva is about to wet my Royal Grandmother's Dustless Intrusion.

Saying that, he reached out and scooped up the book on the ground.

Is there?

She had only dozed off, and couldn't help rubbing her chin, but there was nothing.

The man had turned back to his desk, his back to her.

Qingning naturally was not able to see the curve of his lips, but quickly followed suit and stood up, his body still not fully recovered yet.

He suddenly stood up and the world spun around him.

When Qin Huo caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eyes, his eyes couldn't help but darken.

He didn't immediately take out his pen, but glanced at the ink stone and then at her, still not saying anything.

It was unknown where all the palace maids in the palace had gone to. Qingning stood there for a while, and gradually felt a lot better.

It wasn't that she hadn't done this for her grandfather, but when it came to Qin Huo, she was still a little suspicious of acting good.

The man in front of her had obviously intended to put his cold face to the end, as the black color slowly rippled under her gentle hand. She then raised her eyes to look at Qin Huo.

His heart was on the paper, as if she were no different from an ordinary servant of the palace.

The two rooms were silent. She was circling the ink, and he was scribbling patiently.

Mo Sha nearly broke her hand. She could not help but say, Erm … Calamity …"

The man with the brush raised his handsome eyebrows, but his line of sight did not deviate from the xuan paper in the slightest.

Seeing him like that, Qingning knew that he was listening to her.

He continued, Xu Ran and I are only friends.

Yes.

He answered lightly, not really caring about it at all.

The brush fell to the ground a little slower, and the calligraphy changed from flamboyant to gentle.

After Qingning finished this sentence, he heaved a sigh of relief and lowered his head to focus on grinding the ink.

What else?

Qin Huo was puzzled, after waiting for so long, he only said that?

No more.

She looked at him with a puzzled expression.

This explanation was already her limit. Even if she wanted to explain it to him, she still wouldn't understand.

What more did this scourge want her to say?

Xuan pen on the inkstand, slip ink two points, spread on the paper like a charm.

Qingning was shocked by his action and subconsciously stopped moving. Her phoenix eyes looked at him in puzzlement.

He tried his best to remain calm as he asked, Why aren't you writing it?

What about me?

Qin Huo's question was simple and crude.

Huh?

She was stunned and didn't know how to reply. This man's heart was like an undersea needle!

Xu Ran is a friend, what about me?

Qin Huo suddenly stood up, her slender figure blocking the sunlight that was enveloping her body, for some reason, causing her to feel anxious.

It was obvious that he didn't expect the other party to ask such a question after giving him such a cold face.

His tone was so stubborn that it was laughable, it was a pity that Qingning could not laugh at all, as though his throat was being held tightly by something.

After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, A friend of life or death, naturally a friend of mine.

Since the words had come to this point, Qingning felt that he should put an official end to the marriage that could not possibly come to an end.

He and she both knew in their hearts that they shouldn't let the old man feel any disappointment.

From now on, this pile of beauties would naturally have his soulmate.

Friends?

The curve of Qin Huo's lips suddenly turned a little colder.

She acted as if she didn't see it at all and continued, Our deal is about to end. That marriage contract will also end here …

When she finished her sentence, Qin Huo suddenly grabbed her waist and pushed her onto the shore. He bent down and covered her lips, as if he was going to plunder every breath of hers.

CHAPTER 206 - YOU DECIDE WHAT TO DO

This change happened too quickly. Qingning was suppressed to the point where he was completely speechless.

His palm moved gently around her waist, an extremely ambiguous yet dangerous position.

Wuu … Sob, sob …

Qingning's remaining consciousness resisted his movements.

Initially, he had the patience to keep
