Ning Huayue was determined to show off in front of Yan Fuguang. Apart from Lan Xin breaking the plate and spoiling the atmosphere, it can be said that everything else was under Ning Huayue's control.
Of course her purpose was not just to let Yan Fuguang see her ability to take care of the house.
The night was getting darker, after three drinks, Yan Fuguang's eyes were clear, and she tasted a few dishes. Although she basically couldn't talk to Ning Huayue beside her, she was content.
The family banquet was about to end, and when everyone was eating and drinking and preparing to leave, Ning Huayue grabbed Yan Fuguang's sleeve, leaned close to her and whispered softly: "I am not greedy, but the prince should not keep rejecting me thousands of miles away. Okay? It doesn’t matter which sister’s house you go to on weekdays, but you can stay with me on the first and fifteenth day of every month.”
If she were someone else's wife, how could she be so humble? She didn't even dare to ask for too much. She only dared to pray to Yan Fuguang to give her some face according to the lowest standards of ordinary people.
Ning Huayue thought she had done enough to keep herself low, and she really listened to what Empress Xu said.
It's a pity that Yan Fuguang's rejection of her is like a towering tree. The roots of the tree have penetrated deeply into his heart and cannot be shaken even a little.
Yan Fuguang broke away from her hand and said with dark eyes: "I still have official duties to attend to, so I will take the first step."
This happens every time. Being busy with official duties has become a universal excuse for him to be too lazy to deal with it. No one dares to comment on it once it is revealed.
Ning Huayue was unwilling to give in and tried to win Yan Fuguang's heart by showing weakness: "I have made a lot of preparations for today, Your Majesty..."
"No need to say more."
Yan Fuguang left in style, leaving Ning Huayue feeling lost and self-doubting.
Yihongyuan became quiet, and Ning Huayue sat on the couch in a daze. She needed to regain the face of the Ning family and her own face, so she started planning today's family dinner long in advance.
Originally, she had planned to become Princess Jin tonight, but now it seems that her efforts have not moved Yan Fuguang's heart at all.
Lingyun felt sorry for her, and gently took off the jewelry on Ning Huayue's head: "Miss, don't be too sad, there will be another chance in the future."
Ning Huayue sighed feebly and said with emotion: "Lingyun, I really offended the prince before."
When she was about to get married, someone caught her talking about her and made a big publicity about it, which made the prince divorce her from the very beginning. Later, when he married into the prince's palace, he found it difficult to adapt to the change in status and did many stupid things. Perhaps in the process, he became more and more disgusted with himself.
Ning Huayue lay down exhausted, while Lingyun stood behind and massaged her scalp.
"But you are still the princess, and you are still the prince's wife." Lingyun tried hard to find nice words to comfort Ning Huayue, "No matter what, you are the only one who can stand side by side with the prince. Just because you were in the past does not mean that you cannot improve in the future. Don't be too impatient, it takes a long time, let's take our time, and one day we can make the prince have you in his heart."
Ning Huayue gently closed her eyes and lost her fighting spirit: "I hope so."

Lu Qing immediately led Ji Qin back to Jinxiyuan.
Dr. Jiang was waiting here in advance. When she saw Ji Qin, she immediately treated her injury on her hand.
Lu Qing asked worriedly: "Will there be any scars?"
Lan Xin was so vicious that as soon as the water she poured on Ji Qin's hands boiled, she asked the maid to bring it over.
Doctor Jiang frowned and replied: "The injury was not treated in time, maybe..."
Lu Qing frowned: "Please Doctor Jiang, please try your best to cure Ji Qin. If there is any medicine that is difficult to find, I will go and ask the prince."
She is also a woman, and would feel sad if the conspicuous and ugly scars were placed on her body.
Ji Qin is still a beautiful girl, and it will be difficult for her to get married after she has a scar.
Lu Qing was thinking too much, but Ji Qin was more open-minded than her: "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if the scar can't be removed. As long as the concubine doesn't dislike me, I am willing to serve you by your side for the rest of my life."
"I will definitely not dislike you."
Not to mention the time that Ji Qin followed her, just when she was in Hemingyuan, Ji Qin took good care of her.
Lu Qing has lost a lot of rare emotions since she was a child, and has seen countless ugly and dirty things. Not only does she need a right-hand man like Ji Qin as a master, but deep down in her heart, she has learned unprecedented wisdom from the few people around her. of warmth.
She felt more happiness from Ji Qin and others than her doting status.
"Don't think so much. Dr. Jiang will treat you well." Lu Qing patted Ji Qin on the shoulder, "You have been wronged."
Man Dong was still furious when she thought of this. She raised her eyebrows and gritted her teeth and said: "Lan Xin, what Lan Xin? She is obviously pretending to be a snake-hearted person!"
After saying this, she saw Ji Qin's miserable hands and shed tears again: "Sister Ji Qin has suffered a lot..."
Ji Qin endured the pain and looked at her helplessly: "I have suffered a little, but it will get better, right? And didn't you tell me on the way back that the master has avenged me?"
"Yes! Lan Xin was also punished to kneel down! For two hours!" Mandong wiped away her tears and her mood finally became clearer.
Dr. Jiang quickly bandaged Ji Qin's injury and gave her some medicine to treat wind and cold: "Ji Qin caught a cold, so I boiled the medicine immediately and gave it to her to drink. As for the injury on her hand, pay attention to what she eats." Son, don’t touch it, I’ll look back and think of a way to remove the scar to her as much as possible.”
Luqing nodded and asked Mandong to send her away.
From then on, the Lantern Festival, which was in chaos in Lu Qing's heart, was coming to an end.
She went to see Ji Qin again before being called away by the wet nurse.
"My little master is a little excited. It seems he misses you."
Lu Qing took Brother Lan from the wet nurse and touched his forehead with her forehead: "What's wrong? You should be sleeping at this hour."
Lan Ge'er's eyes were moist and moist, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. It was true as the nanny said.
"That's all, Brother Lan, sleep with me tonight."
Luqing put Brother Lan on the bed, told Mandong to keep an eye on him, and then went to the clean room to wash and bathe.
After finishing everything and returning to the inner room, Mandong coaxed her to the point of exhaustion, but Lan Geer still refused to fall asleep with her big innocent eyes.
"You guys step back, I'll coax you."
Lu Qing lay down and held the chubby little guy in her arms. The milk-flavored little meat dumplings clung to her body obediently, neither crying nor fussing.
"Yeah~" Brother Lan arched his head and buried himself in his mother's fragrant arms, waving his little hands wildly.
With a smile on her face, Lu Qing cast her loving eyes on Brother Lan.
A soft kiss fell on Lan Ge'er's white and tender cheek. The little guy bent his eyes happily, and glistening saliva flowed out from his red lips. Lu Qing wiped it away with his handkerchief.
"Mom will protect you." She said softly.
Even though her abilities are not powerful enough, Lu Qing will become stronger and stronger for the people around her.
One day, she will grow full wings and protect the people she cares about.
