Today she wore a light blue ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), her black hair was loosely tied up, and a jade dragonfly and peony hairpin was tucked into her hair. Her beautiful face was free of makeup, yet it still looked as radiant as a flower.
What Qin Yi saw as appreciation was interpreted by Nan Qianyue as nothing more than lust.
She could already picture Qin Yi drooling in her mind.
"Please make way, Your Highness," Nan Qianyue said softly.
Qin Yi couldn't suppress the corners of his lips curving upwards. "Let me watch for a little while longer."
Huh? He actually dared to openly flirt with her?
The emperor's spies are always watching, aren't they afraid of giving away any evidence?
"Your Highness, please watch your words!"
Nan Xiang strode over quickly. He originally wanted to squeeze between Qin Yi and Nan Qianyue, but the distance between them was too small. If he rashly squeezed in, he would be pressed against Qin Yi.
Qin Yi was someone he couldn't possibly provoke.
The Prime Minister stood to the side, his usually kind eyes now sharp. "Your Highness, please be mindful of your behavior and do not frighten my daughter!"
Qin Yi reluctantly shifted his gaze from Nan Qianyue's face to Nan Xiang's, the corners of his mouth instantly turning down. "Nan Xiang is always overthinking things. Do you see her even a hint of fear?"
"I'm scared."
Nan Qianyue scolded playfully, then deliberately pinched her pinky finger and held it to her nose, then awkwardly shrank back, saying, "Look how scared I am! My heart is pounding. Your Highness, please make way, or I'll faint."
"Did you hear that, Your Highness?" The Prime Minister was furious.
Qin Yi loved the way Yue Jiao had made herself when she moved south even more.
In his eyes, whatever actions the Southern Migration Yue took had a unique charm and was very alluring.
A doting smile played on his lips as he slowly turned away. Nan Qianyue's smile vanished in an instant, and she walked past Qin Yi with utter indifference.
As they brushed past each other, Qin Yi blurted out, "Don't miss me too much, we'll see each other again soon."
Upon hearing this, Nanqian Yue immediately quickened her pace and ran towards the carriage in front without any hesitation.
“Miss, you’re mistaken. Your carriage is behind us,” the woman in green reminded her.
Nanqianyue opened her eyes and looked at the carriage that was surrounded by black riders. Was such exaggerated protection really appropriate for her? Shouldn't it be used on the prime minister?
"Miss Nan, please come in quickly." The woman in green warmly extended her hand.
Nan Qianyue glanced at Nan Xiang's dark face and smiled, "Father, I'm fine."
After saying that, she stepped into the carefully protected carriage with a professional smile.
The grand procession slowly drove away, and Qin Yi returned to his usual dignified and aloof demeanor. He mounted his horse and drove off, when General Huang suddenly spoke.
"Marshal, I heard that you killed the Lord of Fengdu City. Is His Majesty aware of this?"
Qin Yi didn't pause for a moment the entire time, not even giving General Huang a glance, let alone responding verbally.
General Huang watched Qin Yi's departing figure on horseback, feeling angry but unable to speak out. How could he dare to act recklessly when even the emperor had to be wary of him?
——
"Miss, please have some tea."
Inside the carriage, the thoughtful woman in green noticed that Nan Qianyue looked indifferent, so she prepared some herbal tea for her to refresh herself.
Nanqianyue took the jade cup and glanced at the green-clad woman's knees. "Don't kneel. There's a soft seat behind you. Sit down."
The woman in green bowed her head, saying, "This servant dares not overstep her bounds."
Looking at the proper and proper appearance of the woman in green, Nan Qianyue suddenly remembered Qin Yi's reminder that the Lady of the Southern Prime Minister was a person who valued etiquette very much, so the people she raised must be like the woman in green.
"Did you used to serve your mother?" Nan Qianyue asked, taking a sip of tea.
The woman in green nodded slightly. "Yes."
I see.
“Walking is tiring, so we can put aside some of the rules for now. You should sit down, otherwise you’ll hurt your knees and then it will be harder for you to serve me,” Nanqianyue suggested indirectly.
The woman in green bowed and said, "What you say is true, young lady. I will go and sit outside the carriage now."
well?
The rule that the Southern Migration Moon had its brain implanted with green clothing was broken.
How harsh is Madam Nan? She's starting to get scared.
"Don't."
Nanqianyue stopped Green Clothes, then took a soft cushion from beside her and gave it to Green Clothes, saying, "Use this to support your knees. I have some questions for you."
The woman in green accepted the garment with both hands, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss."
Nanqianyue smiled slightly and got straight to the point, "Who are the people in the mansion?"
The woman in green remained calm and composed. She already knew about the young lady's amnesia, so she answered naturally, "Miss, besides the Prime Minister and his wife, there is a legitimate son, a concubine named Liu, and a daughter born out of wedlock in the manor."
The Southern Prime Minister was not surprised. It was normal for someone of his status to have several concubines in his household. The Southern Prime Minister's harem was already considered simple.
"And your age?" Nanqianyue asked.
The clever woman in green naturally knew who the southward migration of the moon referred to.
“Miss, the young master is of marriageable age. If you return, you can still attend his marriage ceremony. The second young lady is of marriageable age.”
Nan Qianyue pursed her lips and suddenly felt that listening to the ancients was really tiring. Fortunately, she had done her homework for filming and could barely count on her fingers.
In other words, the young master was fifteen years old and was her "biological" younger brother, who was five years younger than her, while the second young lady was eighteen years old and was her half-sister, who was two years younger than her.
"Green Robe, are you aware of the power structure in the capital?" Nan Qianyue's question added to the difficulty.
Success stumped Green Robe, not because she didn't know, but because she dared not speak ill of those important people.
“Miss Nan, I know much more than this girl. Let me tell you!” A slightly excited voice rang out from outside the carriage.
Nan Qianyue lifted a corner of the curtain, rested her elbow on the windowsill, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Vice General Qing."
