“Er sao is very careful about food and clothing,” Qin Bai Lu smiled as she looked at Qu Qing Ju. What the other wore was both carefully chosen and beautiful.
“This type of sugar can is both crisp and sweet. I like eating this in the winter,” Jin An Princess took a piece of sugar cane as well. After she spat out the piece, she said, “It seems that er di mei has some preferences in common with me.” Finishing, she smiled at Qu Qing Ju.
Qu Qing Ju returned a smile, “That’s great. In the future, if I find something tasty, there’s someone I can share it with.”
Hearing this, Jin An Princess looked at He Heng. She teased: “This is your fault, er di. How could you let di mei experience delicious food alone?” When she finished, she saw Qu Qing Ju’s face flush. Jin An Princess roared with laughter.
“Jiejie, don’t tease,” He Heng gave a bow and pled, “Otherwise someone’s face will be like a monkey’s ass.”
“Nonsense, nonsense, where in this world could there be such a beautiful monkey’s ass. What words couldn’t you use, that you had to use such a vulgar one,” The Empress smiled as she carefully examined Qu Qing Ju’s face, “ben gong feels, it looks more similar to the heavenly peaches of the Heavenly Empress.” Finishing, she laughed first.
Qu Qing Ju bore a face full of bashfulness as she tilted her head to glare at He Heng. Then she buried her head to drink tea.
That glare she gave caused He Heng’s bones to feel soft. He stood and pleaded for mercy from the two. He was subjected to a torrent of laughter. Once again, he understood a truth, a man couldn’t participate in the world of women.
When He Yuan lowered his head, he coincidentally saw the glare Qu Qing Ju gave He Heng. It did have that bit of flavour. He raised an eyebrow to look at the still pleading and forcefully smiling He Heng, his eyes carrying a hint of examination.
Just as everyone was laughing, a taijian came in to report that the Count of Bei Lu was asking for an audience.
The mirth on Jin An Princess’ face retreated like the tide. She adjusted her clothing and icily held up a teacup.
The Empress’ face went cold. She said in a heavy tone: “Let him roll in.”
At this instant, Qu Qing Ju felt that the empress was full of maternal protectiveness. She turned to look towards the door and saw a man with an extremely elegant appearance bow slightly as he walked in. Just from the appearance, he was a man who easily created good feelings in women. So, this world had invented a phrase to describe this kind of man, that was “an animal in clothing”.
“This son-in-law greets muhou, meets didi.”
“Who is your didi? Not just everybody can call ben wang didi.” He Yuan snorted and lazily leaned back on the chair. He looked indolent, “Don’t try to stick gold to your face. You don’t feel embarrassed but I still find it blinding.”
Qu Qing Ju silently swallowed a mouthful of tea. This He Yuan’s mouth was a knife, and there was poison on this knife.
The Count of Bei Lu hadn’t expected that he would be harassed right after he entered. But the other was a wang ye so he could only endure.
“Just this cowardly state, he still dares to womanize outside. He dirties my eyes.” He Qi happily added a knife.
“Da ge, your words are slightly wrong. When didi saw the Count of Bei Lu a few years ago, he had proper conduct, and was almost enough to be worthy of zhang jie,” He Heng blew at the leaves in the teacup and continued at a sedate pace, “Only now did I know, the Count of Bei Lu is a good actor. I’m afraid that none of the famous corners of Jin can compare to him. Otherwise, how dare he trick us Imperial Family for so many years?”
To compare the Count of Bei Lu to an actor, Qu Qing Ju felt that He Heng had inserted a good knife. It was even more painful considering that when after he spoke his first sentence, the Count of Bei Lu had given him a gaze of hope.
In really, all these brothers were good at inserting a knife while being bloodless. Qu Qing Ju gaze a dry cough. She remarked to Jin An Princess, “Zhang jie, don’t be sad. Who doesn’t meet a disgusting thing or two in their life. Don’t let these things affect your mood and dirty your gaze.” She felt that at this, if she didn’t add a knife, she didn’t fit in with the crowd.
Even Wei Qing E and Qin Bai Lu at this time attacked in the same direction.
“The body is not right, the conduct is not right, it’s unbearable,” Qin Bai Lu disdainfully moved her gaze aside, acting as though she didn’t want to see a disgusting object.
Wei Qing E’s words were relatively softer. She said, expressionless: “The Count of Bei Lu daren, when you did such a thing, did you think of Princess and your children? Now that you have hardened Princess’ heart, you want to rescue it, do you feel that us Imperial Family members are easy to bully?”
The people who spoke all were of higher status than the Count of Bei Lu. The Count of Bei Lu felt that these words were a humiliation and hatred formed in his heart towards Jin An Princess, but he could
