"Empress, if King Qi also likes Qingwen, then..." Chunyu Xiran raised an eyebrow.
"I will never stop him from accepting his concubine," Hua Ying said coldly.
"good."
After Chunyu Xiran left, Huaying fell into deep thought. She remembered that Duan Qingwen had taken a puppet and said it was lost by Qi Xingchen. Did they know each other a long time ago?
"Your Majesty." Yan Xi came in, holding dessert.
"Yan Xi, I have something to ask you." Hua Ying said, "Have Qi Xingchen and Duan Qingwen met before?"
"Ah? I don't know." Yan Xi shook her head.
Hua Ying thought so and told Yan Xi about the agreement with Chunyu Xiran.
Yan Xi was surprised: "Why did the empress agree to Chunyu Xiran's unreasonable request?" This is not Hua Ying's style at all. Hua Ying will never back down in the slightest when it comes to her husband or children.
"If I didn't promise her, how could she give up?"
…
Qi Xingchen returned from the morning and Hua Ying was teasing Nuo'er. Qi Xingchen strode to Hua Ying's side, held her head and kissed her hard, then lifted Nuo'er high and spun her around.
Hua Ying snatched her daughter and put it back in the cradle: "Okay, don't make Nuo'er dizzy."
"I'm jealous." Qi Xingchen hugged Hua Ying from behind, "Which one do you love more, Nuo'er or me?"
"Of course it's my daughter."
"Without my contribution, where would my daughter come from?"
"Xingchen, do you still remember Duan Qingwen?"
"Duan Qingwen?"
"Chun Yu Xiran's cousin."
"That's the girl I saw in my yard last time." Qi Xingchen said, "Why did you suddenly mention this person?"
"I like Qingwen very much. This time she came to the palace with Chunyu Xiran. How about letting her stay in the palace for a few more days and keep her company with me?"
"Okay." Qi Xingchen didn't pay much attention to it. It didn't matter who Huaying wanted to keep.
Not long after, a palace maid reported: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, Miss Qingwen has arrived."
Hua Ying responded: "Call her to the side hall."
"yes."
Qi Xingchen obviously didn't like being disturbed: "Why is she here?"
Hua Ying smiled slightly: "I asked her to come."
The palace maid took Qingwen into the side hall.
Qingwen came towards her and Hua Ying looked at her carefully. Qingwen's dress was simple and elegant, fresh and delicate.
"Qingwen has met Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"No need to be polite, come and sit." Hua Ying gestured for Qingwen to take a seat.
Qingwen raised her head and looked specifically at Qi Xingchen. At that moment, Qi Xingchen was also looking at her, and their eyes met.
"Your Majesty, why have you summoned me?" Qingwen's face turned red and she quickly turned her attention to Hua Ying.
"I am bored in the palace, and I have some affinity with you. I would like to keep Miss Qingwen in the palace for a few days." Hua Ying said.
"I am willing to listen to your arrangements," Qingwen replied.
Hua Ying turned her head and glanced at Qi Xingchen's gaze from the corner of her eye. His gaze actually stayed on Qingwen, which made Hua Ying feel a little confused.
"When did your Majesty see Qingwen?" Hua Ying asked.
Qi Xingchen then withdrew his gaze and said softly to Hua Ying, "Ah? I have had a relationship with Qingwen before. The first time we met was probably the last time we met flowers in the yard by chance."
Hua Ying said: "No, I heard that Your Majesty lost something and it was Miss Qingwen who picked it up."
Qi Xingchen was startled: "Puppet doll?"
"Yes, that's it." Qingwen carried it with her, shaking the fat and cute wooden doll in her hand.
"It turns out..." Qi Xingchen was at the border that day, and the puppet Nuoer he carved carelessly fell into Qingwen's hands. The look of astonishment on Qi Xingchen's face flashed across his face, and he regained his composure. It turned out that Qingwen had told Yue Qianxun before
This is the gift.
"It seems that Your Majesty and Miss Qingwen are also destined." Hua Ying chuckled.
