At night, after Yan Fuguang finished expressing his thoughts to Lu Qing, he hugged her panting and lay together.
Lu Qing closed her eyes, and what appeared was Zhao Ruoling's face.
She didn't know what was wrong with her, so she asked a question that she had never asked Yan Fuguang before.
"Do you think I'm beautiful?"
Not only did he ask, even though his heart was pounding, Lu Qing still stared at him bravely, looking forward to his answer.
Smiles poured out from the corners of Yan Fuguang's eyes and brows. He held her round shoulders and rubbed her red ears affectionately: "If it's not beautiful, what was I doing just now?"
Lu Qing blushed, but that was not what she meant.
Holding the unruly big hand on her waist, she changed her explanation: "Is I getting older?"
Yan Fuguang looked back and forth on her face inquiringly and asked her, "What happened?"
Otherwise, he didn't understand why Lu Qing would ask this question.
If he remembered correctly, she was one year younger than him, so she was young and beautiful.
Lu Qing turned away his face in embarrassment: "No, I just thought of it suddenly and asked."
Men always like young and beautiful looks. She will not always be young, but there will always be young and beautiful women who will covet him.
"Forget it, you don't have to answer."
She was so abnormal and told herself not to answer. How could Yan Fuguang really pretend that nothing happened.
He stuck it over and said, "You are beautiful and young. You match me very well."
Then, he asked: "Can you tell me what you are thinking about?"
Lu Qing glanced at him and said heartily: "Shunkang Hou Mansion, Miss Zhao."
"Are you thinking about her?" Yan Fuguang was in disbelief. He didn't remember any interaction between Lu Qing and Zhao Ruoling. As for thinking about an irrelevant person when they were lying together?
"Yeah." Lu Qing admitted, then raised her hand to cover her eyes and asked softly, "Do you have any impression of her?"
Yan Fuguang took her hand away with a puzzled look on his face: "Why should I have an impression of her?"
"Because she is young, beautiful, and cute..."
Yan Fuguang didn't understand, so he asked her: "What does that have to do with me?"
Then he realized it himself: "Do you think I will fall in love with her?"
Yan Fuguang was about to laugh in anger. Is he this kind of person?
Seeing that Lu Qing was trying to hide again, he coldly pinched her chin and forced her to look at him: "Really? Answer me."
"...No." Lu Qing quickly shook his head and explained, "That's not what I meant."
"What is that? Don't sleep tonight if you don't tell me."
He sat up and picked up Lu Qing. The two of them sat facing each other.
The temperature was low in winter, so he thought for a while and wrapped the quilt around Lu Qing, then sat back and continued to keep a straight face.
"explain."
Lu Qing blinked her eyes, the tip of her nose was sore, she moved, wrapped herself in the quilt and walked around behind Yan Fuguang, tucking him into the quilt together.
"You are not such a person, you are the best person in the world..."
But she is not, she is not the best person.
She had to admit that it was no longer possible for her to be indifferent to Yan Fuguang. She hoped that she could always stand by his side.
But every time such thoughts came to her mind, she had to think about whether she was worthy of him.
The person behind him was trembling, hot tears fell on his shoulders, and Yan Fuguang softened his heart.
He held her on his lap and looked at her long eyelashes, which were wet and stuck into strands.
Wiping away her tears lovingly, her deep voice sounded distressed: "What are you worried about?"
Lu Qing cried and shook her head. Her greed made her very painful.
She wanted to be worthy of him.
"Then don't tell me, I won't ask."
Yan Fuguang sighed: "But you know, I don't fall in love with anyone I meet."
Lu Qing said with a thick nasal voice: "Well, you are not."
"Other women have nothing to do with me. I have no intention of having children with another person, do you understand?"
"Yeah, I understand..."
Yan Fuguang gritted his teeth and scratched the tip of her nose: "You don't understand at all."
Lu Qing wrinkled her nose and muttered unconvincedly: "Actually, you don't understand concubines either."
He likes her, but he doesn't understand her inferiority complex.
She likes her, but doesn't understand how serious he is.
**
Ning Huayue was ill, so Lu Qing and others had to at least save their face. They all agreed to go to Yihongyuan to visit her together.
Stepping into Yihongyuan, I saw a maid kneeling under the verandah. It was a cold day, and she was shivering with the cold wind.
Chen Qingzi glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze and said to Lingyun in front of her, "I remember that Concubine Wei had someone send winter clothes to the servants of Yihongyuan. Why didn't she?"
Lingyun explained vaguely: "She was clumsy and disturbed the Crown Princess, so Grandma asked her to kneel down and wake up."
In fact, Xu Miaoyan did nothing. He knelt on the ground and wiped the floor without making any sound, but it still bothered Ning Huayue.
She knelt down silently, and the drooping arc of her head seemed to have been fixed for a long time.
Lu Qing took a closer look and saw that this person was Xu Miaoyan.
She knelt down out of the way, and from the corner of her eye she saw the corners of their brightly colored skirts passing by. She shrank her neck and moved her frozen fingers.
"How do you feel, Princess?"
Chen Qingzi stepped forward and asked in a calm tone.
Ning Huayue was awake, but she seemed to be in a bad mood, with a gloomy look on her face.
"As usual, why are you here?"
She looked at Lu Qing and Chen Qingzi at the front and snorted: "I was sick for more than a day before I remembered to come here."
Lu Qing explained: "Aren't you afraid that coming here early will affect your mood and disturb the doctor?"
Then, she turned sideways and nodded at Fang Ya and Xu Rou behind her: "Moreover, I have brought Concubine Fang and Concubine Xu to attend to you."
In the eyes of everyone in the backyard, the two of them were classified as Ning Huayue's team.
The thankless task of attending to illnesses was naturally left to the people closest to Ning Huayue.
Ning Huayue nodded helplessly, coughed twice and continued to act like a princess: "This year, the palace will not hold a New Year's Eve banquet, so we will have a family banquet in the palace. But you also saw my situation, so I leave this matter to Concubine Wei and Concubine Chen, do you have any objections?"
"No."
"Then you two just take care of it. If there is any problem, it will be your responsibility."
Lu Qing and Chen Qingzi responded as usual: "Yes."
Ning Huayue frowned and coughed twice: "...Give me some water..."
Grandma Wang took the water glass, but when she saw Lu Qing, she shook her hands.
Lingyun saw her and hurriedly went around Grandma Wang to give Ning Huayue water again.
Grandma Wang stood aside uncomfortably: "Master, please forgive me, my hands are a bit stiff from the cold..."
Ning Huayue didn't take it seriously: "Just sprinkle some water on it, it's okay."
Lu Qing could look at Grandma Wang calmly.
She didn't even say anything, so she was so panicked.
