It's just that he can't break this matter, and Shen Lian and Yin Qinxue have always been good friends, so it's good for her to accompany Qinxue.

Shen Lian got Yin Xinxuan's permission, and only had time to glance at the senior brother who was still in the center of the venue with some concern, and then hurriedly went to chase Yin Qinxue.

In fact, she thinks that her senior brother and Qin Xue are quite suitable, but now she only knows Qin Xue's intentions, but she doesn't know if her senior brother likes Qin Xue? She didn't want her brother to force herself, but she was also worried that her brother would disobey the holy will.

Yin Qinxue's sudden departure made everyone suddenly have their own guesses, just looking at Yin Xinxuan who was sitting on the main seat, but no one dared to speak.

Yin Xinxuan's eyes swept around lightly, and the people who came into contact with his gaze lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at him, and then he said to Ning Qingming, "Qin Xue is unwell today, so I will not mention this matter first, Ning Aiqing, you should return to the position first." ”

"Yes, Holy."

Ning Qingming replied and returned to his seat.

Soon the music resumed, and the dancing queen entered the arena and danced a cheerful and beautiful dance.

It's just that after the previous events, everyone's minds are no longer on the dance.

Shen Lian hurriedly chased outside the garden, but saw that Yin Qinxue was being supported by Bing'er Ning'er and the two palace maids to go to the holy ceremony, and hurriedly called, "Qinxue ......" The palace maids and guards immediately looked at her, and she reacted, and there were other people present, and hurriedly added, "Princess Qinxue, please wait for a while." ”

It didn't matter how she shouted when there was no one else, but with these palace maids and guards present, she had to maintain her respect for the princess.

Hearing Shen Lian's shout, Yin Qinxue's movements were stunned, and then she continued to be helped to sit on the holy seat.

After she sat down, Shen Lian also came to her and said with some concern, "Princess Qinxue, where are you uncomfortable, why don't you let me treat you?" Although she also felt that Qin Xue should have found an excuse to get out, she was still a little uneasy, and was ready to confirm Qin Xue's pulse.

"No need, pity, I'm just a little tired, I just want to go back to the palace to rest, you don't have to worry."

Yin Qinxue looked at Shen Lian with a worried look on her face, smiled reluctantly, and said.

Faced with the pity that has always had a good relationship with her, and in the face of the pity that cares about her so much, her heart is like a stone blocked, and she can no longer laugh happily as usual.

Because Ning Qingming's gentle gaze at Shen Lian hovered in her mind, making the stone in her heart heavier and heavier.

Shen Lian looked at Yin Qinxue carefully, her brows furrowed slightly, and her voice was full of concern, "But Princess Qinxue, your face looks a little pale, let me take the pulse for you and make sure." ”

Qin Xue has always been sunny, lively and cute, she has never seen Qin Xue's face so pale, is there really anything uncomfortable? It's just that she didn't see anything with "hope", and it seems that she can only take the pulse.

"Pity, I'm bothering you, but I really don't have anything, so I don't need you to take my pulse."

Yin Qinxue still shook her head and said softly, "My body is indeed a little tired, so I won't talk to you today." ”

After finishing speaking, she instructed the guards, "Get up and go back to the palace." ”

"Yes, Princess."

The guard hurriedly responded, and everyone also moved, surrounding the holy palace, escorting Yin Qinxue in the direction of the palace.

Shen Lian only felt that today's Yin Qinxue was weird, but she couldn't tell what was strange, so she could only say to the saint who was starting to leave, "Then if there is anything uncomfortable about Princess Qinxue, you must let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat it in time." ”

After watching Yin Qinxue leave, Shen Lian didn't want to go back to attend the Qionglin banquet, so she simply walked back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Miss, why did you come back so soon, the master hasn't come back yet, the Qionglin banquet shouldn't be over yet, right?" Yun'er asked with some surprise when she saw Shen Lian coming back.

Miss went to the Qionglin banquet with the master, why is it that only the young lady came back so early.

Could it be that my own lady is making the old man angry again, right? "It's nothing, Princess Qinxue and I left the table early, the Qionglin banquet is still going on at this time, and Daddy should wait until it is over before returning home."

Shen Lian casually answered Yun'er's question, then walked into the room, sat down in front of the dressing mirror, and beckoned to Yun'er, "Yun'er, come here, help me pick all these things, just comb a simple style." ”

With so many hair ornaments on her head, she was very uncomfortable, and now that she had returned home, she naturally had to take them off quickly.

"Yes, miss."

Yun'er looked at Shen Lian's impatient expression, and responded a little helplessly.

walked behind Shen Lian and carefully began to take off the hair accessories for her.

This hairstyle was combed by her in the morning, but her own lady is still the same as always, and she doesn't like these cumbersome hairstyles.

Yun'er had just unwrapped Shen Lian's hair and draped it behind her, and she didn't have time to comb it again.

Yue'er said outside the door, "Miss, Young Master Ning is here." ”

"Senior brother is here, please invite him in."

Hearing this, Shen Lian stood up directly from the vanity mirror and said hurriedly.

She was still thinking about Yin Xinxuan's previous appointment to recruit her senior brother to be Qin Xue's concubine, and she didn't know what the outcome of this matter was, whether the senior brother agreed or not.

Soon, Ning Qingming's familiar handsome figure walked into the room.

His expression was slightly serious, and he said to Shen Lian, "Senior sister, I have something to say to you. ”

Shen Lian looked at Ning Qingming's serious expression, waved his hand to let Yun'er leave, and then said to Ning Qingming, "Okay, senior brother, now it's just you and me, what do you want to say to me?" I don't know why, the senior brother's somewhat serious expression made her heart slightly uneasy.

Ning Qingming looked at Shen Lian with a solemn expression, but his voice was very gentle, "Senior sister, I have wanted to tell you this sentence for a long time, but I haven't spoken, and now I don't want to wait any longer." ”

He stared at Shen Lian tightly, and said slowly, "Senior sister, I like you, the only person I want to marry in this life is you." ”

Shen Lian's whole person seemed to have been struck by lightning, and she froze on the spot, she looked at Ning Qingming, who looked serious, only to feel that her mind was in chaos, and her mouth was incoherent, "Senior brother, you ...... I ...... "She didn't know what she wanted to say, she seemed to have a lot to say, and she couldn't seem to say anything."

She has always known that her brother is good to her.

It's just that she has always subconsciously regarded her senior brother as her biological brother, but she never thought that he would like her.

"I wanted to tell you about this matter until I found a way to dissolve the marriage contract between you and Yin Chen, but what the Holy Lord mentioned today made me have to speak."

Ning Qingming looked at Shen Lian and smiled slightly, and his voice was a little softer.

Shen Lian looked at Ning Qingming in a daze, his mind couldn't calm down at all, and he subconsciously said, "Senior brother, if you don't agree to be a concubine, you will disobey the holy will and connect the nine clans." ”

Dissolution of marriage? It turns out that the senior brother has always wanted her to break the marriage contract with Yin Chen? It's just that now she has willingly agreed to marry Yin Chen.

"For the sake of you, junior sister, what if you disobey the holy will?" Ning Qingming's voice was full of determination, and his eyes looked at Shen Lian gently, "Everything else is not important, I just came here to ask you a word."

Senior sister, do you like me? ”

Ning Qingming stared at Shen Lian seemingly calmly, but sweat broke out unconsciously in his palms.

He even lightened his breath a little, silently waiting for Shen Lian's answer.

It's just that Shen Lian lowered his eyes, avoided his gaze, and remained silent and did not answer.

The room was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

And Ning Qingming's heart also sank with this quietness.

The smile on his face gradually retracted, and there was a tremor in his voice, "You like Yin Chen, right?" He should have thought of it a long time ago, with his junior sister's personality, if he hadn't already liked Yin Chen, how could he let go of the marriage contract between her and Yin Chen.
