Chapter 93: Plucking Plum Blossoms
When this topic was brought up, Qi Xinxin's expression became somewhat cautious. "I heard from someone that Princess Wanqi originally did intend to arrange a marriage."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Siyin immediately put down her chopsticks with righteous indignation, "And then?"
Hurry up and speak! If you can talk, say more! She doesn't need this little bit of traffic!
Qi Xinxin covered her face with her sleeve, unsure whether she should continue speaking.
After all, it's rather... awkward to talk about private things in front of two men.
"Didn't the Crown Prince take the second young lady of the Shen family as a concubine? Just last month, news spread that the palace maid serving her was pregnant."
Her name seemed to be Qingzhi. The Empress, out of pity for the child in her womb, granted her the title of concubine.
Yuan Siyin almost spat out the pastry in her mouth.
Is it in this river?
"Taking a concubine before establishing a principal wife is already bad news, and now this whole mess has happened..."
As she spoke, she sighed, covered her face, and said, "What a pity."
Yuan Siyin: "..."
Why did she feel that Qi Xinxin was smiling?
“Qingzhi…that sounds familiar.” Yuan Siyin lowered her head in thought.
"She was taken in as a goddaughter by Granny Gui of the Imperial Palace. You didn't take her in, so I don't know how Consort Shen took her in."
Seeing that she couldn't remember, Bai Tu knew he had overstepped his bounds, but still couldn't help but remind her.
"It's her?"
Yuan Siyin was somewhat surprised, "She seems like a well-behaved girl..."
As she spoke, she glanced at Yu Shiyan with lingering fear.
Fortunately, it wasn't delivered to Little White Flower, but to be fair, even if that girl were as passionate as dry wood and raging fire, he wouldn't be able to ignite it.
Yu Shiyan's face was as cold as frost. With just one glance, he could almost guess what kind of nonsense Yuan Siyin's limited mind was thinking.
"So Princess Wanqi returned with the envoy's entourage, which made the Crown Prince quite unhappy for a while."
"You're so well-informed."
"It's just hearsay."
Qi Xinxin felt a sudden tightness in her heart upon hearing the praise, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the other woman didn't ask any further questions.
Although there was nothing to hide, Sister Siyin seemed to think she was very naive and had never put any defenses against her, which was fine.
"By the way, shall we play a game?"
Halfway through the meal, Yuan Siyin suddenly put down her chopsticks and said seriously.
"What?"
Truth or Dare.
Yuan Siyin proudly explained the rules, and didn't forget to instruct Hongxiu to warm the wine and bring it over.
It's rare for the male and female leads to be online at the same time. As long as she finds an opportunity to get Si Fangming away, she can then find another chance to go find him. Wouldn't that give them some alone time together?
Thinking about it this way, Yuan Siyin laughed even more happily.
However, ideals are often grand, but reality is harsh. The rules may be novel, but when it comes to rock-paper-scissors, Si Fangming and Qi Xinxin are unbeatable in the border region.
When they lost the ninth round, Yuan Siyin lay on the table, her face ashen, denying the loss: "You cheated!"
How can you cheat with a game of rock-paper-scissors?
Si Fangming chuckled, crossed his arms, and whispered devilishly in her ear, "Could it be that Miss is trying to renege on her debt?"
Yuan Siyin slammed her hand on the table, erupting in impotent rage: "Am I the kind of person who can't take a joke?!"
"Let's go down and catch a carp. We don't have high expectations, just enough for the four of us."
"When it comes to being a dog, I have to admit, you're the best."
Yuan Siyin calmly gave a thumbs up.
Just kidding, go pick a plum blossom branch.
Yu Shiyan also lost. Qi Xinxin couldn't think of what to ask him to do, so she simply followed suit and asked him to go and pick a branch of red plum blossoms to bring back.
