Su Muer nodded heavily, "I'm afraid that's the case. Ever since I found out that Liu Jin was the prince of Guning Kingdom, I knew that it was impossible for them to be together."
"Why?"
Ye Shihan looked at her with confusion, "They have feelings for each other, why can't they be together?"
Looking at his seemingly innocent face, but it made her want to step forward and slap him on the face, she said softly:
"Two people with unequal identities and statuses, even if they desperately want to be together, will only end up harming more innocent people. It would be better to end it as soon as possible."
Her words seemed to mean something. After hearing this, Ye Shihan pursed his lips and lowered his head in a lonely manner.
He knew that in his relationship with Su Muer, he had really hurt her a lot, and the reason for all this was because their status was unequal and they did not get the blessing of his mother and concubine.
.
The conversation between the two of them was clearly heard by Qing'er who was hiding outside the door.
She didn't believe that even if they were not suitable to be together, Liu Jin should tell her. Why didn't Liu Jin even say a word to her?
Is Liu Jin so cruel?
So in the early morning of the next day, she decided to go to the palace to ask him in person, but she didn't know if she could enter the palace, so she went out early in the morning.
When Su Mu'er woke up, she discussed with Biaozi that since the emperor of Guning Kingdom would not meet them, there was no point in their staying here any longer. It would be better for them to visit other countries adjacent to Guning Kingdom.
But at this moment, no one could find Qing'er, so everyone was a little anxious.
Doudou said directly:
"Mom, I saw my aunt going out early in the morning. I don't know what she was doing."
Su Mu'er suddenly thought of something and nodded, "Then let's hit the road later. This girl may want to get into trouble in the palace, so let her go. If she can't get in, she will give up."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuanyuan was a little anxious,
"Isn't she in danger? Do you want to go and have a look?"
"No need, she will come back naturally if she can't get in. Otherwise, she will feel that her trip here was in vain. It's okay to let her hit a wall, hey!"
Speaking of this, she felt a little sorry for Qing'er. This was the first time she fell in love with a boy, and she ended up being unable to meet him. How could she accept it?
So there are some things that she should go and see for herself. Although her sister wants to help her, she also knows that others can't persuade her to do this kind of thing. She is the only one who wants to leave it alone and wants to go back.
Just fine.
Qing'er arrived outside the palace as she expected. She stood not far away and looked towards the palace door. She saw that the palace door was wide open and people were walking towards the palace.
She thought, rather than waiting here, she might as well give it a try first and wait until she is not allowed in.
So she quickly followed a group of people walking towards the palace, but the gatekeeper didn't notice her at all. He just thought she was a girl brought by the official lady in front and did not stop her.
Coming in so easily? Qing'er was really surprised.
She looked around as she followed the crowd. She didn't dare to walk around and didn't know where these people were going.
At this time, the person in front spoke.
"Yooner, this time the queen nominally asked you young ladies of the right age to come to the palace to accompany her, but actually she wants to choose a concubine for the eldest prince, so you have to behave well today."
The girl named Yoona has a pretty figure, and although her face cannot be seen, just from the back, you can tell that she is a beauty.
She lowered her head slightly and whispered:
"I understand, mother, you told me three times on the way."
"Mom, aren't you in a hurry? Look at the people who came today. They are all dressed up and looking to compete with each other. Our Grand Master's Mansion cannot lose, otherwise your grandfather will be furious."
"I understand, mother, please stop talking. My daughter doesn't know whether she will be chosen by the eldest prince later."
The eldest prince?
Choosing a concubine?
Qing'er suddenly felt a thump in her heart. As far as she knew, the only prince of Guning Kingdom was Liu Jin. Could it be that he wanted to choose a concubine?
Thinking of this, she clenched her fists angrily, and her chest heaved violently with anger.
Her unusual movements were noticed by the girl in front of her. She stopped and looked at her in surprise.
"Hey, which girl are you from? Why are you coming behind us?"
When Qing'er saw that she was discovered, she hurriedly explained,
"Oh, my lady is in front. I just went back to deliver something, so I got separated."
Her words did not arouse any suspicion, and the girl hurriedly said:
"Then go quickly. There are many rules when entering this palace, so be careful."
Qing'er nodded slightly and thanked her, then ran forward quickly.
But she didn't plan to break into the palace. Since these ladies were here to be chosen by Liu Jin, she would definitely see Liu Jin if she followed these people.
Thinking of this, she made up her mind to follow these people.
So, she followed these people to the back garden. The place was already bustling with people. Everyone found their own seats and sat down. Qing'er found a corner to stand by herself. There were many people in the palace today, so naturally no one paid attention.
Because of her unfamiliar face, she didn't attract anyone's attention.
After a while, the queen came to the front of the crowd in a dignified manner, and was helped by the palace maids beside her to sit down. With a kind face and a soft voice, she looked at the official ladies and wives sitting in front of her and spoke,
"I have been in poor health recently. I have just recovered from a serious illness in the past few days, so I want to ask everyone to come and have fun with me. Which young lady can also show off her talents so that everyone can improve themselves.
Eye-catching.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a young lady stood up.
"Queen, I have prepared a dance that I would like to dedicate to the Queen and all the ladies."
When the queen heard this, she smiled slightly and nodded,
"Okay, don't be impatient for now. Come on, ask the eldest prince and the little princess to come over and enjoy dancing and music with everyone."
Hearing this, Qing'er's expression instantly became tense. She stared fixedly at the direction in which the man sent the message to leave. She now desperately wanted to see Liu Jin, but she was also very afraid of seeing Liu Jin.
She was afraid that he would forget her, that he would not recognize her.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt, and her body couldn't help but tremble a few times, but then she stood upright because she saw Liu Jin and Xiao Qian, surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, approaching the queen.
Come.
They came closer and bowed one after another. Qing'er noticed that Liu Jin seemed a little haggard compared to before, and Qian'er had also grown much taller.
When she saw Liu Jin, her tears couldn't stop falling, but she was hiding in a corner and no one noticed anything unusual about her.
The queen looked at her children with a smile on her face.
"Jin'er, Qian'er, sit down quickly. Mother feels much better today, so she wants to let everyone come and have fun together. These girls have prepared their own skills. Jin'er, you have to take a good look."
Her last words were particularly emphatic, and the meaning could be guessed even without stating it clearly.
Liu Jin didn't say anything, but nodded slightly and sat directly next to her.
