It was dark and windy tonight. Qingning and Hongye hid behind the rockery in the courtyard and watched the black shadow sneaking into her house. After a while, they quietly retreated out, as if they were holding a treasure.
Holding the baggage in his arms, he laughed like a successful thief.
Hongye, who could watch the prince's appearance, covered her mouth desperately, for fear that she would laugh out loud. She and Hongzhu guessed for a long time before they could watch it outside, while Hongzhu had to lie on the bed and play the role of a sleeping princess.
In the afternoon, after Qing Ning deliberately showed off her ink painting to Luo Yunchen, he asked several questions, such as, 'Is it very rare?' Who is that old friend? Do you give these to people you meet?'
After getting all the answers he wanted to know from Qing Ning, he showed a treacherous look
After dinner, he even told her that she had to be busy with some official work recently and asked her to rest early. Most exaggeratedly, he also told her about the recent shortage in the house, so that she could sleep with the light on without wasting so much.
He's done it so obviously, it's strange that Qing Ning can't guess what he wants to do.
After watching Luo Yunchen walk away, Hongye asked in a low voice: "If the prince wants this, he can just ask for it. Why do you have to be so secretive?"
Qing Ning had been holding back her laughter until she was almost out of breath. After breathing steadily for a long time, she said: "He has to ask me to give it to him. If I give it too readily, he will think that I lied to him.
We gentlemen will not understand the villain’s heart.”
"Don't you understand, Princess? Everyone knows that the prince will come back tonight to steal it, but to borrow it."
"It's called stealing. Look, if I were to complain about losing something tomorrow, he would definitely come and make me cry." Qing Ning returned to the house, and Hong Zhu had already gotten out of bed, and she was trembling with laughter.
"My heart almost jumped out of my chest just now, the prince actually laughed"
She smiled even more happily, and Hongye asked quickly: "What is the prince doing in the house?"
Qingning couldn't help but be curious. The three of them sat on the bed together. Hongzhu cleared her throat and lowered her voice: "Han'er, my dear, I don't want to steal things, I just borrow them to use such rare things."
It’s such a waste to come and paint because I will make them worth every penny.”
Her vivid imitation made Qing Ning's laughter that had just stopped burst out again.
