Chapter Twenty-Four: How did she pick up this bargain?

"It's all what a concubine should do."

Midori leaned over and only said what he had to say, and didn't say anything more.

Nangong Yan walked out of the inner hall and saw the two of them facing each other outside, "Wan Niang is here." His face was covered with softness, and the indifferent look he had when he saw Yu Qiqi was like two faces.

"Your Highness, the concubine is greeting the crown princess."

Lu Yin explained to him, still holding the bowl of lotus seed soup in his hand, and a layer of sweat was already faintly oozing from the corners of his forehead.

"When you've got enough shelves, let's go back."

He scolded Yu Qiqi for a word, then took Lu Yin's arm and brought her in. Midori lowered her head, looking gentle and lovely.

Yu Qiqi bit his lip, in front of the two of them, Nangong Yan had always only protected Lu Yin. But this time, her face was a little unhappy.

In the evening, Zhao Niang walked in from outside with a stunned face, and said to Yu Qiqi: "Wan Niang has spent the night in Chenghe Hall again." ”

Yu Qiqi's red hand froze, and he smiled as if he was fine, "Isn't this normal?" ”

"But the crown princess has been giving His Highness medicine for so many days in the past, and she didn't stay overnight with His Highness, so she really cheapened Wanniang, and let her pick it up for this cheapness."

It's rare, Zhao Niang also complained.

Yu Qiqi lowered his eyes and didn't speak again.

At the bottom of my heart, there seems to be a wave of loss.

Nanzhao's Yan Wangfu.

In the study, Yan Churan held the letter sent back by Yan Shiqing in his hand, and let out a long sigh, "After all, we have come to this point." ”

The attendant standing on the side stepped forward, picked up his pen from the inkstone and handed it to him, "Do you want to enter the palace and ask Your Majesty?" ”

Yan Churan took the pen and hesitated for a moment before putting it down, "Now that we are surrendering to the country by war, even if Your Majesty comes forward, it will definitely be useless." ”

"But the identity of the prince..."The attendant studied the ink for him, and his words were full of worry.

Yan Churan didn't say anything more, only wrote the reply to Yan Shiqing with a calm face, "When he insisted on being the envoy to Yanjing, I expected that this might be the result. There was a hint of helplessness in his old eyebrows.

The attendant's face was also filled with regret, "The Seventh Princess has always been the person who the prince puts on the tip of his heart. He bowed his head and withdrew with his reply, and in the dark night sky, a white light was drawn by the flying pigeons.

After that day, Nangong Yan no longer asked Yu Qiqi to go over to take medicine, she heard Zhao Niang say that it was all Lu Yin who was serving him.

His thoughts, as if they were before, were no longer on her.

"Princess, why don't you take advantage of the present time to see more of the prince?" Ajian nibbled on an apple and gave her ideas.

She watched, a little sullen, it had been several days.

Yu Qiqi shook his head absentmindedly, and after a while, nodded again.

"Seventh sister has something on her mind?"

Yan Shiqing looked at her and asked.

"No, no."

She lowered her head and ate the pancakes he had brought from Nanzhao.

He endured the bitterness in his heart and asked with a smile: "Quarreled with His Highness?" ”

She immediately denied, "No, I haven't seen him at all in the past few days, why did I quarrel." Her hand unconsciously picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

At this time, Yan Shiqing's heart understood seven or eight points.

"Brother Qing, are you used to living in Yanjing City?" There was silence in the air for a moment, Yu Qiqi hid the confusion in his heart and asked him.

Yan Shiqing raised his eyebrows, "Except that the climate is milder than Nanzhao, there is nothing unaccustomed." ”

"If I find an opportunity, I will definitely intercede with my father and ask him to remove your identity as a Yanjing proton." She put her hand over his sleeve and comforted him.

Although her father was always tepid to her, she thought that he didn't hate her after all, otherwise how could he have proposed the conditions for marriage to Nanzhao in the first place.

"Seventh sister don't worry about me, the reason why Emperor Yan Jing kept me as a proton in Yanjing is that he is still afraid of the power of our Nanzhao, and it will only be a matter of time for me to be a proton, and it won't be too long."

Yan Shiqing carefully analyzed the current situation with her.

"You are better than me in the affairs of the government and the opposition." Yu Qiqi thought about it for a while and felt that what he said was not completely unreasonable.

On the way back to the East Palace, Yu Qiqi's carriage suddenly stopped halfway.

"Why don't you go?" Ah Jian lifted the curtain and asked the coachman.

The coachman replied, "There is a sedan chair blocking the road in front." ”

Yu Qiqi opened the curtain and saw Chu Peiyu, who was guarding outside a rouge shop with a few royal forest soldiers. After a while, she saw Nangong Yan walking out of it holding Lu Yin's hand.
