Chapter Thirty-Three: Bi Qing Teases and Sings Her Love
Xue Xichen was startled, and her cheeks turned red. She hurriedly calmed down her emotions and covered up the heat on her face. She turned her eyes sideways and replied quietly: "The Sixth Prince is joking! Eighteen beauties compete for beauty, each of them is the best in the world.
Is it possible that no one can enter the eyes of the Sixth Prince?"
"Indeed, none of them can compare to Miss Snow..."
"Sixth Prince!"
Xue Xichen interrupted Feng Biqing's words, suppressed the anger in her heart, blessed her body, and refused quietly, "Please the Sixth Prince, please stop making fun of people's girls, people's girls can't bear it!"
Feng Biqing was gentle and unchanging, confirming word by word, "Miss Snow, I am serious!"
"A common girl has no family status and no power, her appearance is only average, and her talent is nonsense. How can she compare to the eighteen beauties who are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting..."
"Why should Miss Snow be so modest? If others don't know about your talent, how can I not know about it?"
Xue Xichen was choked by Feng Biqing and did not answer for a moment.
After a pause, Feng Biqing added: "As for family power, those are just floating clouds to me. What I like is Miss Xue..."
"Didn't the Sixth Prince come to the Hundred Flowers Feast to choose his concubine?"
"No! The emperor is choosing his concubine today, and I can only be regarded as a spectator at best!"
"The emperor can't ask for so many beauties, isn't the rest for you, my lord?"
Feng Biqing's eyes gradually deepened, she stared at Xue Xichen, and said seriously every word: "I only have one woman in my heart!"
Xue Xichen's face was slightly dizzy. She glared and said, "Your Majesty, I have already said..."
"Miss Snow has been betrothed to someone else?"
Xue Xichen was startled. This was indeed what she said to reject Feng Biqing that day by the Green Willow Lake. Unexpectedly, Feng Biqing actually kept it in mind. She curled her lips and replied: "That's right! Your Majesty, thank you for your love. It's a pity."
, Xichen is destined to have no fate with you in this life."
"not necessarily……"
Feng Biqing looked at Xue Xichen with a smile, and walked slowly to Xue Xichen's side. She looked at Xue Xichen with a pair of bright eyes without blinking, with elegant and charming eyes. No matter how determined Xue Xichen was, she could not bear it.
She couldn't help but blush, and she actually wanted to retreat. However, she did not move, and stood there looking at Feng Biqing, wanting to see what his intentions were.
Feng Biqing chuckled softly, and suddenly put her arms around Xue Xichen's slender waist. She lifted Xue Xichen's face with her index finger and carefully looked at her beautiful face. She breathed into her ear like orchid, "Young lady, you are so beautiful."
, it’s hard to keep people from being tempted!”
Xue Xichen stared at him with her mouth open, feeling that her brain was confused and a little unconscious. She was tongue-tied and said in disbelief: "What did you say...?!"
Feng Biqing smiled and said, "What? Miss Snow is shy?"
"You!" Xue Xichen's face turned red, she pushed Feng Biqing away with all her strength, and said angrily, "Feng Biqing, you damn scoundrel! Go away! Go away quickly!"
Feng Biqing chuckled softly, "Miss Xue, is this how you repay your savior?"
What a savior! Damn it!
Being teased by Feng Biqing, Xue Xichen was furious. She was so angry that she stamped her feet, glared at Feng Biqing, and kept pushing him away. Suddenly, Feng Biqing's expression changed and she ducked away instantly.
After entering the rockery, Xue Xichen was shocked. Before Xue Xichen could recover, a bright yellow figure appeared in the imperial garden and strode towards her.
Looking back, he saw it was Feng Qingge. Xue Xichen's expression changed again and again, and was actually three points colder than when he saw Feng Biqing just now.
"The daughter of the people comes to see the emperor!"
Feng Qingge frowned. It was not that he had not noticed the clouded look on Xue Xichen's face. At the same time, he also hated Xue Xichen's coldness and alienation. He said in a low voice: "If you are not sincere, why do you do this?"
Xue Xichen pretended to be cautious, stepped back halfway, and replied distantly and politely: "A civilian girl wouldn't dare!"
Feng Qingge was so angry at Xue Xichen that she couldn't help but roar, "Xue Xichen, do you have to talk to me with such an attitude?"
Me? Since he calls himself "I" in front of her, what kind of attitude does he expect her to use to talk to him?
Xue Xichen rolled her eyes and despised Feng Qingge's pretentious attitude. She asked coldly: "What kind of attitude does the emperor hope that the women of the people will adopt?"
Facing her willful pride, Feng Qingge only felt deeply powerless and frustrated. He said, "Xue Xichen, it's rare for us to meet you. Can't you not be angry with me?"
Xue Xichen was silent and did not answer.
Seeing that Xue Xichen finally put away her sharp edge and calmed down, Feng Qingge took a step forward, held Xue Xichen's hands tightly, her eyes fell in love with her delicate and picturesque eyebrows, and said affectionately: "Xi Xichen
Chen, I miss you very much!"
Miss her? He will miss her too? She thought he had forgotten her long ago!
"Why choose a concubine?"
She didn't want to ask, so she finally asked. Although she knew the answer would definitely make her heartbroken, she was just so unwilling...
Feng Qingge was silent. He knew Xue Xichen would ask, and he had already considered dozens of reasons for explanation. However, when the moment came, he suddenly didn't know what he should say.
The explanation was so feeble that even the lies that had been organized long ago could not be told at this moment no matter what.
He didn't want to lie to her!
"Xichen, if I tell you the truth, will you forgive me?"
Forgive? Will they still discuss whether to forgive or not?
"Feng Qingge, no matter what your reasons are, I will never forgive you!"
No matter how righteous your reasons are, you have betrayed the promise you made to me, and I will never forgive you!
Feng Qingge was silent, and her whole body turned gray, as if she was suddenly enveloped in a gloomy mood.
Finally, just when Xue Xichen thought Feng Qingge would just throw away her sleeves and leave, she heard Feng Qingge's dull voice coming from her throat, "Xichen, I'm sorry..."
I'm sorry? Feng Qingge actually said sorry to her? The emperor actually said sorry to her, a civilian girl who was nothing?
Xue Xichen felt that this was simply the biggest joke in the world.
"Feng Qingge, is saying 'I'm sorry' useful?"
"Xichen, I know you blame me and hate me, but... I also have my own helplessness... The new dynasty has just been established, and its foundation is unstable. I want to control the overall situation in the shortest possible time, stabilize the dynasty, and consolidate several major forces.
The best way for groups to unite is through marriage..."
"You don't need to explain!"
Even if Feng Qingge doesn't explain, she understands! Although she doesn't play politics, it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand anything! Feng Qingge has Feng Qingge's difficulties, she knows!
However, she is just a little woman, and she hopes that her man will treat her the same way! She hopes that her man will only be her, instead of being surrounded by a large circle of warblers, and she must compete with these women every day for their favor.
