After saying these words, Lian Jinchen stared closely into Qing Hui’s eyes.
He didn't know what he wanted to see in her eyes.
Are you angry, disappointed, angry, or surprised?
It should be anger.
He wanted to.
How could a proud girl like her, who was born with everything, tolerate being a substitute for another person?
He was afraid of missing the slightest fluctuation in her eyes.
But he was disappointed.
Qing Hua's eyes were so far away that he didn't notice them before. Now that they were closer, he could see clearly that those eyes were as smooth as the brightest and cleanest gems in the world. But gems are dead things, and hers
The eyes are like dead objects.
Without any emotion.
He had only seen such a look from His Majesty.
It was as if everything in the world was calm and could not arouse the slightest emotion in him.
It's very quiet around here.
It's so quiet that you can only hear the occasional chirping of insects and birds.
Until Aoki laughed out loud.
There was a smile on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes, as if those beautiful eyes were just decoration and had no emotion to show.
"Your Highness Prince Chen, why are you so close to me? You just said that you won't treat me as a substitute. Then...is it possible that His Highness Prince Chen likes me?" The corners of Qing Hui's lips also raised as his eyebrows rose, and he continued to talk.
Jinchen took another step forward.
Lian Jinchen subconsciously took a step back.
"I don't have it."
It was clearly a clarification, but somehow there was a trace of panic.
"No, then why are you panicking?" Qing Hui chuckled twice.
Lian Jinchen hurriedly took two steps back and apologized: "I have no intention of offending you, please... your concubine, please respect yourself."
He frowned slightly and looked at her again, "What I just said..."
"Tell me, do you think His Majesty treats me as a substitute?" The smile on Qing Hui's face instantly faded, "Then don't bother King Chen to worry about it. I just like His Majesty's face. What's wrong?"p>
"You..."
Lian Jinchen never expected to hear such an answer.
His Majesty wears a mask all year round, and not many people have seen his true appearance. However, as a member of the royal family, and His Majesty started wearing a mask all year round about seven or eight years ago, he has not always worn a mask.
No one who has actually seen that face will forget it.
"Does King Chen have anything else to do?" Qing Hu asked quietly.
Lian Jinchen looked complicated.
"If there is nothing else, is it inappropriate for Prince Chen to appear in my palace?"
"..."
Lian Jinchen wanted to say something more, but Qing Hui didn't seem to care about the substitute at all. Instead, his actions seemed very dirty and provocative. He was also a face-saving person, so he had to resign.p>
When he went out, Qing Hui showed a dull expression.
After a while, she raised her hands and rubbed her face.
Is Lian Jinchen here to make fun of you?
Lian Xueyin likes Qi Wan?
Does this make it clear that it can’t be good?
Absolutely impossible.
Lian Xueyin married her because it was a deal with her father. What do you mean by marrying her because she looks like Qi Wan?
Even Xueyin still tells her that he is destined to die, so although he made her his concubine, he did not consummate his marriage with her.
He knew from the beginning that he was going to die, and even knew how long his life would be. How could he like Qi Wan?
If he really likes Qi Wan and wants Qi Wan to enter the palace, who can stop him?
Since Qi Wan was not allowed to enter the palace, it can only mean that regardless of whether he had intended it or not, he had made a choice and that was to never interfere with Qi Wan's life.
Qing Hu really wished that Lian Xueyin had liked Qi Wan back then. If Qi Wan had entered the palace, who would have dared to touch her with Lian Xueyin's way of doing things?
She would not know that she had no hope in the end, so she chose the most decisive path.
As long as she could see that Lian Xueyin liked her, she would not hesitate to ask Lian Xueyin to save her. No one would want to die, and she also wanted to live.
So the fact that Lian Xueyin likes Qi Wan is really ridiculous.
The green cypress made a "cut" sound.
When I lifted my legs and walked into the hall, I suddenly realized what I was doing.
Could it be that everyone who has seen her in Beijing now guesses like this?
She thought of the attitude of the eldest princess of Xiangyang, Mrs. Gendou, yesterday. She didn't think much about it at the time, but now that she thinks about it, could it be that she thought she was Qi Wan's substitute?
Really... off the mark.
Qing Hua felt like she was getting goosebumps.
She shook her head, ran into the hall quickly, and silently recited the Concentration Mantra several times before getting the matter out of her mind.
After meditating all afternoon and replenishing the spiritual energy he had lost at Lian Xueyin’s place last night, Qing Hui stretched out and felt immediately refreshed.
Thinking of going out the next day, Qing Hui quickly packed a few clothes and took the small baggage to Lian Xueyin's dormitory.
Lian Xueyin saw her carrying the baggage and asked, "What are you doing with this?"
Qing Hui looked at him in shock: "Your Majesty, you are not living in the world, are you? How can you change your clothes when you go out without any luggage?"
Is Your Majesty so devoid of common sense?
Lian Xueyin pointed at her baggage, "Open it and take a look."
Qing Hui didn't know why and opened the baggage.
There are two sets of gorgeous skirts rolled up inside.
"This is what you packed?"
Qing Hu looked at the luggage and fell into silence.
It's not that she didn't expect to be low-key when going out, but Qing Hui is the only daughter of the regent, and all her clothes are extremely gorgeous. The word "low-key" has never had anything to do with her.
Qing Hui rolled up his little bundle and looked at Lian Xueyin weakly.
"Your Majesty..."
"Ji Zhangyin will prepare things for the trip, my concubine doesn't have to worry."
Qing Hua: "..."
You should have told me earlier!
Qing Hu curled his lips.
Looking up, he saw a faint smile on Lian Xueyin's lips.
The words Lian Jinchen said came to her mind, and she pretended to be unintentional and tried: "Your Majesty, have you ever liked a girl before?"
Lian Xueyin glanced at her.
Qing Hua looked innocent.
"Never before."
After hearing his answer, Qing Hui thought that it was indeed the case.
She knew how could Lian Xueyin like Qing Hui?
However, she continued to test and said: "When I first entered the palace, I heard that I looked very similar to a person. In the past two days, I found out that that person turned out to be Prince Chen's former princess. I heard that...she
She was forced to jump off the Yunguang Platform, and before she died, she asked Your Majesty for a piece of paper and a letter of departure. If Your Majesty knew she was going to die, would you save her?"
Of course she knows that Lian Xueyin is an unkind person.
Because of this, she did not dare to ask Lian Xueyin for help.
But she was also very curious. If she had asked Lian Xueyin to save her instead of the piece of paper and Li Shu, would Lian Xueyin have saved her?
Lian Xueyin looked at Qing Hui's probing and curious eyes.
I think Lian Jinchen must have said something to her today, otherwise she would have come to test him last night.
"I do regret one thing."
"Your Majesty, will you regret something?" Qing Hu asked in disbelief.
