Chapter 428: Secret Meeting
Not to mention others, hearing the news that Zhao Qing was going to hire her as a concubine, An Ruoxian herself was very surprised, she couldn't believe that after using her, Zhao Qing would humiliate her like this!
Is that considerate, tolerant, gentle and elegant Zhao Jing really just Zhao Qing's disguise?
An Ruoxian cried uncontrollably, for her miserable fate.
When she first came to this world, she was full of confidence and ambition, thinking that she could find a prosperous world, but God was against her everywhere, making her fall to where she is now.
At the beginning, she thought that she could become the favorite of the male protagonist, become the second princess, and then become the most noble woman in the world - the queen, no matter how bad it is, she can become the white moonlight in front of the second prince's bed, the cinnabar mole in the palm of her hand, even if she doesn't get a noble status, she can also dominate the heart of the future emperor, but the reality is that the second prince hasn't even looked at her with a straight eye. Now she has retreated to the next best thing, and just wants to be a wife of a family in peace, but why is it still so difficult?
Concubine, she never thought of being a concubine, let alone a concubine!
She is a time-traveling woman, with advanced knowledge that everyone in this world does not know, and she also knows the future, how can she be willing to be a concubine?
So she decided that this was Zhao Qing's insult to her, and guessed that Zhao Qing wanted to tie her up and use her ability completely.
Her heart hurt so much, Zhao Qing remembered her well, how moved she was before, how sad she was now, she secretly swore that she would never let Zhao Qing get her wish!
After crying, An Ruoxian wiped away her tears, called the cuckoo, and commanded in a cold voice: "I want to see Zhao Qing." โ
Knowing Zhao Qing's true identity, he sent these two maids to protect him. An Ruoxian no longer gave any good faces.
The cuckoo's eyes flashed with disdain, his face was still respectful, and he bowed his head and said, "Miss only needs to accept the dowry." You can pick up the prince right away, and you can see the prince at any time in the future. โ
Hearing this, An Ruoxian's face turned red with anger, and she slapped the table angrily and shouted: "Shut up!" I won't be a concubine for Zhao Qing if I die! She gasped for breath, her chest heaving violently.
The cuckoo pursed his lips and said, "The slave and maid know, so I'll go and pass the word to the prince." With that, he turned around and went out.
Such an impudent act. It was again that An Ruoxian was sad, lying on the table and sobbing.
The cuckoo heard the cry in the room and did not stop. She went straight out of the door and said to Qiulan outside the door: "I want to go back to the palace, you are optimistic about Aunt An." โ
Even if An Ruoxian doesn't agree? In their hearts, she is already the concubine of the prince.
Qiulan nodded. said: "Although she is just a concubine. But we still have to be respectful to her, after all, the prince is really very attentive to her. โ
"I know." The cuckoo showed impatience, "I just can't get used to her self-righteousness, she thinks she is really a goddess of heaven and worth an extraordinary value?" is just a concubine who is not favored, and it is the biggest opportunity in her life to become the concubine of the prince, and she even puts on a humiliated appearance, since she looks down on the prince so much. She has the ability to send us back to the palace and cut us off with the prince. is reluctant to give her the benefits that the prince has brought her. complained again, I don't think she doesn't want to be with the prince, but she doesn't want to be a concubine and wants to be a wife. I don't want to think about my identity, earlier she always wanted to refuse and welcome her father-in-law, and I had already seen through her. โ
Qiu Lan thought the same thing in her heart, but she wouldn't say it, and when she heard this, she only patted Du Juan's hand comfortingly, and made a look, suggesting that she was worried about letting An Ruoxian inside hear it.
Du Juan also knew that she couldn't go too far, otherwise she would provoke An Ruoxian to complain to the prince, and she would have no good fruit to eat.
An Ruoxian heard the conversation outside the door clearly, and couldn't help but be angry, what does it mean to be reluctant to bring Zhao Qing the benefits to her, isn't the holy water she provided for Zhao Qing enough?! And Zhao Qing's kindness to her is all hypocrisy, even if it is true, it is also voluntary by him, when did she want to refuse and welcome? She felt that she was wronged, but she had nowhere to complain, so she could only hide and cry secretly.
Du Juan passed the word, and Zhao Qing quickly arranged to meet An Ruoxian.
Still in that remote courtyard, Du Juan sent An Ruoxian to the door and retreated.
An Ruoxian stretched out her hand and hesitated for a while before pushing the door open.
This was the first time they met after recognizing Zhao Qing's identity.
Stepping into the courtyard, seeing the familiar scenery of the garden, seeing the familiar back, and thinking of what happened in this courtyard, her heart throbbed again. Before discovering Zhao Qing's true identity, every once in a while she would secretly come here to meet him, they talked about everything, his doting and tolerance made her feel the warmth she had never had, she thought that he would always protect her and love her, but she didn't want this qiฤ to be her delusion.
With a sour look in her eyes, An Ruoxian held back her tears and approached the person who was once extremely familiar, but now she was extremely strange.
"Xian'er." Zhao Qing smiled softly and stretched out his hand to her, this action made An Ruoxian stunned, and she endured it so that she didn't throw herself into his arms as usual.
"I have something to tell you." Standing five steps away from him, An Ruoxian clenched her fingers to prevent herself from revealing any emotion.
There was no hug, no call, her detached attitude made Zhao Qing frown unhappily, but he still suppressed the riot in his heart, bowed his head gently, and said, "You say." โ
An Ruoxian forced herself to take her eyes off his handsome face, took a deep breath, and pretended to be calm: "I have a sweetheart, I can't be your concubine." โ
"I know." Zhao Qing's answer was beyond her expectations, and while she looked at her in astonishment, he said unhurriedly: "I still know who your favorite person is, but I want to sue you, that man has already had a favorite woman, even if you make him a concubine, he won't want you." โ
An Ruoxian was like being struck by lightning, and a sentence that she deliberately forgot came to mind, and Shao Wuchang said that the second prince already had someone he wanted to spend his life with.
But how could she show weakness in front of him? Surrender to him?
Biting her lower lip, she said coldly, "So what? If I can't be with him, I'd rather spend the rest of my life with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha. โ
"You won't." Zhao Qing suddenly smiled, smiling firmly, and the twinkling starry eyes looked straight into her eyes, gaining insight into the thoughts in her heart.
An Ruoxian felt that the wolf bรจi, and her eyes were stained with hatred that could not be dissolved, and she asked in a deep voice: "Who is that woman?" โ
Although she didn't say it explicitly, Zhao Qing knew who she was asking, raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Wei Shao." โ
"How is that possible?!" The ruthlessness in her eyes instantly turned into surprise and disbelief, and she couldn't help but mock: "Even if you want to lie to me, don't make it up casually, how could he fall in love with Wei Shao, a rude woman with developed limbs and a simple mind?" โ
"Believe it or not." Zhao Qing didn't explain, his eyes locked on her, and said, "Zhao Yan has nothing to do with me, I only know that you can only be my woman." โ
Hearing this, An Ruoxian was shocked, then sneered, and said: "You are the son of King Gong, your words can determine life and death, I am just a humble concubine of the Hou Mansion, how dare I confront you?" But I also have dignity, even if I die, I won't be a concubine! My life is mine, and no one can force me to do what I don't want to do, unless you want to see my corpse! โ
With that, she turned her head resolutely.
Zhao Qing looked at her thin and stubborn back, his eyes were vague and inexplicable, and he raised his voice: "I won't force you, one day you will voluntarily come to my side." โ
An Ruoxian's feet were stunned.
Zhao Qing continued: "It's my fault to conceal my identity, but I have never had a trace of falsehood in my heart for you, I know your pride, but I have no choice, letting you enter the palace as a concubine is already the biggest concession of my father, I hope you can understand my hardships and embarrassment." โ
An Ruoxian looked back at him tremblingly, and finally couldn't help shedding tears, and said aggrievedly: "Since you regard your father as more important than me, why do you say these useless words again?" If you really want to be with me, stop obeying your father, can you do that? โ
His broken heart was comforted by his words, and he was glad that his heart for her was true. However, she was angry and sad, because in his heart, she was not the first.
Zhao Qing pursed the corners of his lips and said after a long time: "I can't do it, I will never go against my father's wishes." โ
An Ruoxian's face turned white, turned her head and ran away with tears.
Zhao Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "You have other men in your heart, what qualifications do you have to ask me?" (To be continued......)
