"Qing Niang."
"Um?"
Shen Lianqing combed his long hair and looked up at him when he heard him speak, "What are you doing?"
The window was half-open, and in the black-blue sky, a nearly full moon hung alone. The cool night breeze blew away some black clouds, gently blocking half of the moon's round face.
The moonlight was hazy, and there were a few chrysanthemums planted in the yard, and the wind carried their fragrance to the tip of my nose.
The fresh and elegant taste is mixed with the cold night breeze. It is quite refreshing to welcome this smell and savor it carefully.
The candlelight danced in the room, illuminating the two embracing figures on the wall. Liu Qingran sniffed her hair and kissed her delicately on the side of her face, "Qing Niang, I like you."
Shen Lianqing hugged him back, raising her neck slightly to meet his eagerness. She bent her eyes and smiled, "I know."
"Yes." Liu Qingran bit her and shed tears.
His life experience and family were completely different from hers. He had a natural advantage and could get everything she didn't have. This superior difference would make it impossible for her to open her heart and face him sincerely.
How much does it mean that she is succumbing to his power when she is so gentle now?
What should he say and do to make this heart less frivolous.
Liu Qingran's dark eyes contained a touch of sad madness. He really liked her.
He liked her the first time he saw her, so much so that he could overcome all shyness and muster up the courage to talk to her face to face.
After much effort, he finally got her into his arms, but he didn't know how to keep her.
His parents at home, the comments from outsiders, and Xia Ziyu who was always watching him closely were all fierce tigers.
He knew they were waiting for him to get timid, and then they would bare their fangs and tear him apart, and those in his arms.
He doesn't want this.
Liu Qingran felt desperate because she was too young and too powerless.
He bit her lips like a hunter biting his prey and refused to let go. His eyes burned with two clusters of fire in the night, bright and lasting.
Shen Lianqing hissed in pain, "Liu Qingran, let go."
Is he a dog?
She usually called him Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu. It was rare to call him by his name. Liu Qingran came back from her thoughts for a moment and opened her mouth, "Huh?"
A pair of eyes were still filled with tears, looking at her pitifully. Shen Lianqing didn't see it, and looked more like a dog.
It seemed that he was under too much pressure. She hugged him and comforted him softly, "It's okay, everything will be fine."
Although I don’t know what he is sad about, as a Jieyuhua who came out of a brothel, I must be able to say comforting words!
Sure enough, Liu Qingran's mood gradually calmed down under the comfort of her nonsense words.
Yes, no matter how strong Prince Xia is, as long as Qing Niang's heart is with him, what can he do?
Liu Qingran figured it out and hugged Shen Lianqing tightly and lay down.
After lying in bed for most of the night, before dawn, the boy who was serving Liu Qingran hurriedly came to him and said that something was urgent.
Of course, this was just a superficial statement. In fact, Liu Qingran understood that it was his parents who sent people to take him back.
Before he left, he told the young man not to disturb Shen Lianqing. The young man looked at him sympathetically, "My young master, please don't think about others! This courtyard will be taken over by Prince Xia next."
Doesn't he understand yet?
…
Shen Lianqing slept soundly and didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning the next day.
As soon as she came out of the yard after washing, she felt that something was not right about the atmosphere in the yard. The people were still the same, but the expressions on their faces were much more reserved.
The usually lazy servants also swept the fallen leaves on the path cleanly today, making them spotless.
Shen Lianqing wondered what was going on?
When he woke up, Liu Qingran was missing, and the others were equally weird.
She looked tired all day long. When she read the storybook by candlelight at night, she saw Xia Ziyu bursting in wearing a red dress. Her heart lifted slightly and then dropped.
I see.
She figured out everything in a flash of lightning in her mind.
Liu Qingran was tricked and taken away by Xia Ziyu again, and the yard she was in was probably transferred to Xia Ziyu by Liu Qingran's parents, so she returned to his hands after going round and round.
Xia Ziyu hugged her from behind, breathing lightly, "What are you looking at?"
Shen Lianqing raised the storybook in her hand, which showed two villains fighting. She replied, "Do you also want to read some chronicles of the world?"
Xia Ziyu just asked casually, but why did he really want to know what she was looking at?
He came here just to observe her reaction after knowing that she was back with him, but her expression remained almost the same as usual, without any change.
Why, did she not take it to heart that much when he said she would stay with him?
Whether she thinks he or Liu Qingran, they are just one of her benefactors, there is nothing special about them, that's why...it doesn't matter who they are!
"peony."
"Huh?" Shen Lianqing nestled in his arms and looked up at him, "What's wrong, Crown Prince?"
There was a smile on her lips, just as charming as she had seen her before.
Xia Ziyu's heart trembled, and he felt a surge of suffocation that he didn't know where to vent.
He Xia Ziyu, even if he pretends to be a wild man for the sake of his great career, he is praised by the stars wherever he goes. How has he ever suffered such injustice?
She... one...
Xia Ziyu laid her down on the couch. His long and slanted phoenix eyes were less sloppy, with eyelashes like crow feathers hooked in dark lines, and his dark eyes became serious and sharp.
His fingers pinched her chin, and his tone was off-kilter, "Mudan, tell me, do you like me?"
What is the problem?
Shen Lianqing's mind was racing, and then a charming smile appeared on her face. Her beautiful fox eyes seemed to have stars. She looked straight at Xia Ziyu, her eyes full of him.
Xia Ziyu was in a trance for a moment. He saw her hugging his neck coquettishly, "Your Majesty, Yushu Linfeng, is unparalleled in the world. You are so good to Mudan. Why doesn't Mudan like you?"
That means I don't like it.
fraud.
Xia Ziyu narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to bite her neck. Don't think he didn't notice the second she paused after he finished speaking.
But that's okay.
He said that whatever he wanted, he would hold it in his hands.
He got angry, and Shen Lianqing pulled his hair and begged for mercy, "Shi... Your Majesty... don't..."
Xia Ziyu suddenly loosened his teeth and asked her, "What's your name?"
Hehe, he wants to take her by force without even knowing her name.
Shen Lianqing rolled her eyes in her heart, and looked at him with a pair of watery eyes, "Your Majesty, my name is Lianqing."
"Last name?"
"Shen."
"Very good, Shen Lianqing." There was a fierce look in his eyes, and he opened his mouth again and changed his bite.
"Your Majesty."
"Call Master Yu."
