Xie Qing sat down on the prince's throne. Even with his hair loose, his imposing aura was so strong that people dared not look directly at him.
Bai Wanyi couldn't help but think, he is indeed the man I value. No one can match his appearance, demeanor, and majesty.
Xie Qing didn't ask her to get up, and she didn't get up either. She knelt seductively, opened the box she had brought, and presented it to him. "There was a disturbance at the flower viewing banquet today, disturbing His Royal Highness. I've come to apologize. This is a new piece of Huanglong jade. As the saying goes, beautiful jade goes with a gentleman, so it's a fitting gift for His Royal Highness."
The authentic chicken-fat yellow Huanglong jade has an oily and uniform color and is truly a rare treasure.
Especially for things as big as a fist, you can carve them in any way you want.
Xie Qing only glanced at it and didn't ask anyone to take it: "In the eyes of Lady Pingyang, I am just like those rich girls, who can't stand being scared?"
Bai Wanyi quickly said, "How can the prince's noble body be compared to theirs? Moreover, the prince is the son of a dragon, so ordinary evil spirits cannot get close to him."
"So I won't be scared." Xie Qing sneered.
Bai Wanyi's words were blocked. She looked at Xie Qing innocently and blinked her eyes: "That's not what I meant."
Here we go again!
Xie Qing was most impatient with her feigning innocence. She had just called herself "concubine" and now "I". Her hidden agenda was too obvious: "Madam Pingyang Marquis, please return. There are no female relatives in the East Palace, and it's getting late, so I won't keep you any longer."
Bai Wanyi deduced from his impatient tone that he was worried that the lack of women in the Eastern Palace would ruin his reputation. Her eyes softened, "Your Highness, I have something else I want to discuss with you in private."
Xie Qing grabbed something and tried to throw it away, but Prince Du grabbed his arm and quickly took away everything on the table. He also packed up the servants in the hall and took them away: "You two can talk slowly, talk slowly."
But in the blink of an eye, they were the only two left in the hall.
Bai Wanyi tentatively stood up and rubbed her sore knees. When she found that Xie Qing didn't say anything, she was delighted. She took small steps forward and put the Huanglong Jade on the table.
She squatted down and looked up at Xie Qing, then tentatively tugged at the corner of Xie Qing's clothes: "Actually, I was still angry with you. No matter what, you couldn't have humiliated me in front of so many people that day. But then I thought it through, you thought I should keep my distance from you since I'm married."
"But you also know that none of this is what I want. As an orphan with this appearance, it's already difficult for me to survive in the borderland. I have come to this point just to survive."
"I only regret that we met too late. I have a child now, so I dare not hope for anything with His Highness, or for His Highness the Crown Prince to show mercy. I only hope that my son and I can live a stable life, that Ping'er can have a good future, and that I can often see His Highness the Crown Prince and know that he is well. That will make me feel at ease."
Bai Wanyi's eyes were filled with sorrow, and she tried to pull Xie Qing's big hand with her little hand.
Xie Qing shook her hand away irritably. If he hadn't witnessed her ruthlessness and seen her flirting with the fourth brother with his own eyes, he would have been easily deceived by her innocent face.
Bai Wanyi was swung by him and nearly fell to the ground. She grabbed the edge of the seat to steady herself. Tears suddenly filled her eyes. "I know you don't like me saying these things. Well, I'm just telling you that I had no choice but to marry the Marquis of Pingyang. My heart is with you."
"Now the princes are foolish, foolish, and lustful. You are in a very difficult situation. You can't play around like this any longer. You need to pull yourself together. You are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Do you want to give up your kingdom?"
Bai Wanyi's meaning was clear. She just didn't believe that a man could hide his feelings and remain unmoved by her for the sake of power. And could he refuse her help for the sake of power?
The first sword you strike when you get ashore is to kill the person you love.
This is an unchanging truth since ancient times. Why should we kill the one we love?
Isn’t it because his ideal partner cannot provide him with support?
Bai Wanyi can now provide assistance to the prince, so she is not the beloved who was beheaded, but rather the confidante who helps him rise to the top.
Xie Qing was too lazy to pretend at this point. He snorted coldly, "I've known for a long time that my brothers are close to the Marquis of Pingyang. As the Marquis of Pingyang's wife, are you really going to openly contradict your husband?"
When Bai Wanyi heard this, her mind was on the words "Marquis Pingyang's wife." She became even more certain that Xie Qing was jealous. "Marquis Pingyang still relies on the firearms in my hands, so naturally he listens to me. Your Highness, aren't you worried about your brothers?"
"What are you worried about? They have been jumping around for a long time. No matter how much they jump around, I am still the prince." Xie Qing's tone was lazy, but there was an air of looking down on the world.
Bai Wanyi was so confused by what she saw that she felt a man like this was worthy of her.
Even if she couldn't become the Crown Princess, she could be the woman behind the Crown Prince, helping him ascend the throne, and then watch him never take a queen for her sake, and secretly meet with her...it was exciting just thinking about it.
Bai Wanyi's little hand couldn't help but climb onto Xie Qing's arm again, but he dodged it again.
She placed her hand on Xie Qing's knee, gently resting her head on it, and said, "The firearms I have over there are showing initial results. Don't you want to go and see it?"
Xie Qing felt a chill all over his body. He stood up suddenly, and Bai Wanyi fell to the ground without paying attention.
He took off his outer robe in disgust and shouted, "Come! Send for the Marquis of Pingyang's wife!"
He bit the three words "Marquis of Pingyang" fiercely to remind Bai Wanyi that she was already married.
But to Bai Wanyi's ears, it sounded like: he cared about her, so he was annoyed, so he didn't want her to touch him, and he was so excited because he was afraid that he couldn't control the secret and unspeakable desires in his heart.
Bai Wanyi's eyes were filled with tears. "Since you are angry, I won't say much. I will wait for you at the Shili Pavilion outside the city tomorrow."
Bai Wanyi stood up, bowed, and ran out quickly, passing by Master Du who was entering the room.
Prince Du had heard everything. When he saw Xie Qing throw away the clothes and have them burned, he tutted his tongue and said, "If you hate her so much, how did you get along with her in the first place?"
Xie Qing thought that he must have lost his mind at that time. He wanted to see this woman's methods and also wanted to know how he was fooled by this woman's sweet words a long time ago.
It's like a head drop.
The more Xie Qing thought about it, the more he wanted to kill himself at that time. His face turned as black as the bottom of a pot: "You can get out now!"
"Hey, hey, hey, you're so heartless and ungrateful, just throwing it away after you've used it." Prince Du said with a playful smile, "Are you going tomorrow?"
Xie Qing changed into casual clothes and said, "No, our spies have already entered their workshop, so we know all the production procedures. Her stuff is not as good as ours. It exploded many times. What's so good about it?"
Prince Du disagreed. "Who wouldn't keep secrets? The spies said that wherever the Bai family went, they wouldn't explode. Aren't you curious about the difference?"
