Chapter 160 Sleeping Together
Chapter 160 Sleeping Together
If they had not been playing together since childhood, he would really consider letting her die young.
Of course, that was just a casual thought. Even if he was not familiar with her, she was so popular with the Sixth Prince that not everyone could sway her.
Yan Qingning just looked at Chu Rongyue with a half-smile.
Although she didn't say anything, Chu Rongyue felt more and more exposed under her gaze.
He suddenly discovered that the pair of eyes that were crystal clear and could be seen through at a glance in his memory now seemed to be filled with fog, making it even more difficult for him to understand.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Chu Rongyue was a little embarrassed and annoyed. He stiffened his neck and said, "I am a decent person. Don't try to hit on me..."
Cheng Wanshuang said at the right time: "Sister Ning, don't mind it. The Eighth Prince is always outspoken. You just saw it. He even said to me..."
She didn't want to be misunderstood, especially by the prince.
She was afraid that if Yan Qingning told the prince about it as a joke, she wouldn't even have a chance to explain.
Yan Qingning blinked, and once again tried to hide her true intentions. "Concubine Cheng, you don't have to explain for him. The Eighth Prince and I have been friends since childhood. I know him better than you do."
The original owner often went to the palace when she was a child. Since the Eighth Prince was close to her age, the Eighth Prince was the one who played with her.
When it comes to being familiar with Chu Rongyue, I'm afraid no one knows him better than the original owner.
Cheng Wanshuang also felt that Yan Qingning had seen through her thoughts. Her hands hanging at her sides unconsciously curled up, feeling a little embarrassed.
She instinctively wanted to explain.
But Yan Qingning looked at the Eighth Prince and said very pertinently: "In fact, it's better for you to say nothing. It's quite revealing."
Chu Rongyue seemed to have his tail stepped on, "What do you mean?"
However, what he got in return was just a faint smile from the other party.
It seems to be saying, I understand what you are thinking, so stop hiding it.
For a moment, Chu Rongyue felt embarrassed as if his thoughts were known, "I'm too lazy to talk to you."
He raised his chin, looking both naughty and arrogant.
In order to express his frankness, he turned to Cheng Wanshuang and said, "Concubine Cheng, are you coming in?"
"No, thank you, Eighth Prince." Cheng Wanshuang immediately bit her lip and hid behind Yan Qingning, saying in a distant tone.
She just wanted to enter the Mo Yun Pavilion, wanted to be closer to that person, and wanted to understand him.
Seeing that Cheng Wanshuang looked afraid that he would do something inappropriate to her again, Chu Rongyue sneered and turned around to walk away.
Cheng Wanshuang saw Chu Rong leap into the flower hall from the corner of her eye. She breathed a sigh of relief and walked out, saying nonchalantly, "Sister Ning, are you used to your time in Mo Yun Pavilion? Is there anything you need?"
Then he said sincerely, "I know Sister Ning is the most sensible and worry-free.
If you need anything, don't be embarrassed and be sure to say hello to me. Don't be polite and ask someone else to tell me.
You also know that Moyun Pavilion is not a place we can just enter casually..."
Cheng Wanshuang deliberately acted like a hostess treating a guest, while also declaring her status in the palace.
Prove that he has Chu Beiqing's trust and that he is not that bad.
But all he got in return was Yan Qingning's faint smile, without any comment.
This made Cheng Wanshuang feel a little uncomfortable, and her heart became even more bitter.
But she was never one to admit defeat. She immediately looked around the houses in the yard as if nothing had happened and said with a smile, "I'm a little thirsty. Sister Ning, can you take me to your place for a cup of tea?"
Yan Qingning couldn't help but chuckle.
"You, what are you laughing at?" Cheng Wanshuang's cheeks suddenly felt hot.
She was afraid that Yan Qingning would see through the decent appearance she tried so hard to maintain.
But she suddenly discovered that after not seeing her for a few days, Yan Qingning's eyes and eyebrows were filled with a charming charm, and her face seemed to be more beautiful than before.
This slight smile at this moment was so beautiful that it astonished the whole world.
Cheng Wanshuang suddenly felt ashamed of herself, but she still tried to maintain her last bit of pride: "If you don't want to say it, forget it. I just wanted to take a look at what you are missing. I'm afraid of wronging my ally..."
Originally Yan Qingning wanted to expose her, but she felt it was pointless because someone who pretends to be asleep can never be woken up.
She shook her head, "There's nothing I want to say."
Then, Yan Qingning stretched out her fan-holding hand, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Concubine Cheng, please."
Cheng Wanshuang looked blankly in the direction of the fan, which was the direction of the living room and also the master's bedroom.
She was filled with shock, and the color on her face suddenly drained away. She could no longer maintain her expression. "You, you slept in... the prince's room?"
She asked cautiously, not sure if she was afraid of scaring the other person or herself.
Perhaps, she was more afraid of hearing an answer she didn't want to hear.
Speaking from the bottom of her heart, Yan Qingning still couldn't bear to tell the truth.
But she promised Chu Beiqing in advance that no matter who it was, she couldn't and dared not ruin his plans. "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Cheng Wanshuang seemed to hear the sound of a broken heart, her face turned extremely pale, and all her disguises were shattered into pieces in an instant.
The almost slim hope collapsed in an instant, revealing her miserable side.
Cheng Wanshuang just felt that she was ridiculous.
She seemed to want to laugh, but it was uglier than crying. "No, nothing. I, I suddenly realized that there is still something I haven't dealt with..."
She spoke haltingly and turned around hastily before finishing her words, as if she was afraid of being forced to stay, or even more so because she didn't want others to see her embarrassment.
Yan Qingning looked at her fleeing back, sighed secretly, turned around and wanted to go back to her room.
Just at this moment, Chu Rongyue walked past quickly without even saying hello. He seemed to be in a hurry and walked out in a hurry.
The King of Qi and his two companions stayed in the Prince Qing's mansion until dinner time and did not leave.
Maybe Chu Beiqing was in a good mood today, and for the first time ever, he invited a few people to have dinner with him. During the meal, the brothers even drank some wine.
They didn't disperse until the hour of Xu, and all three of them were drunk when they left.
The King of Qi was a little swaying from drinking, but they were brothers after all, so he and the King of Jin walked out arm in arm.
But the King of Jin was very disgusted with him and kept yelling at him to get away from him.
The eighth prince who was following behind could only smile foolishly. His feet were heavy, one step deep and one shallow.
If his followers hadn't held him up, he would have rammed his head against the wall.
Yan Qingning was lying on the bed in the dark, listening to Yuqi's amusing whispers. She also smiled and said softly, "Just sleep peacefully this time. I've told you not to pay attention to them. Just sleep. Do they need someone to serve them?"
Unfortunately, Yuqi's deep-rooted thoughts took over and she refused to listen to him. Even when she waited in the room in the dark, she refused to go to bed.
Yan Qingning yawned sleepily. This was the bad thing about the ancient times. There was nothing to do at night except sleeping.
But now there is something to do.
Besides, she didn't dare to stay in front of the candlelight now.
She doesn't want to go blind so early.
Yuqi was just about to undress and get on the bed when she heard Shuhui say outside, "Concubine Ning, the prince wants you to come over."
