Chapter 349 Qing Qianxue's Comfort
"Ningning, I've been waiting for you to speak." Without dropping the chess piece in her hand, Qing Qianxue turned her head and looked at Chu Youning seriously, "If you are willing to speak your mind, I am willing to listen attentively. If you are not willing, I will accompany you here to spend time in peace."
“Oh.”
Chu Youning got up and came to the stone table carrying a pot of tea.
Chu Youning was stunned when he saw Qing Qianxue playing chess for a long time.
On the chessboard, the black pieces surround the white pieces, and the white pieces form the Chinese character "宁".
It turned out that he was not playing chess, he was spelling her name.
His heart slowed down again. Chu Youning looked at the chessboard and said slowly, "I realized something very important later. I was very angry at first, and now I feel very complicated."
Qing Qianxue stared at Chu Youning for several seconds.
From the time they met until now, he had not listened to the little girl's thoughts. I guess...
This should be the thing that made her angry.
Even though he had just convinced himself not long ago, if Ningning's true feelings were to be revealed forever, then let them be revealed, and he couldn't remind her.
He could only pretend to be deaf and dumb and try to make himself thicker-skinned if the little girl spread some secrets about the concubines one day after they were together.
But he should be happy that the little girl's inner voice could disappear.
Then, he spoke softly:
"Ningning, don't think too much. People like you for who you really are, and no external force will change that."
"Besides, who knows, maybe people will treat you better after they realize that some things are gone?"
He couldn't say the word "what's in his heart", but if Ning Ning was aware of it, she should be able to understand it if he said it in a different way, right?
Chu Youning did understand.
"What if I have no idea what will happen in the future and can no longer help many people unconsciously?"
"Little fool." Qing Qianxue smiled helplessly, "Have you forgotten what I do?"
“What’s more, many things are our job.
I eat the emperor's food and share his worries. We all get paid to do our jobs. You have provided convenience to everyone, so everyone should be grateful to you.
But if they use kindness to win favor, then they are ignorant of good and evil.”
"Oh, I seem to have forgotten that your main job is a charlatan."
Chu Youning nodded blankly.
Qing Qianxue's words were so gentle and calm that she unconsciously felt more at ease.
"Then... you all could hear my thoughts so early, why didn't anyone tell me?"
Chu Youning finally asked this question.
Compared to everything else, this is the thorn that pierces the deepest part of her heart.
The hurt and confusion in the little girl's eyes made Qing Qianxue feel distressed.
He looked into Chu Youning's eyes carefully and spoke word by word:
"Ningning, I can tell you for sure that your family and friends respect you very much.
Everyone wants to tell you, but... there is a force stopping us.
Anyone who wants to remind or inform you will suffer from temporary amnesia, and no one can do anything.
So... everyone will try their best to protect you to the best of their ability."
"Is that so?"
Chu Youning's eyes trembled slightly.
At the same time, the system's voice rang in her mind again.
[Host...According to the Imperial Master, it should be the will of the world that is stopping us.]
[I’m sorry, this is the first time I’ve encountered this kind of situation, and I didn’t give you a reasonable explanation the first time.]
"The past is hidden in the details. If Ningning is willing to recall the past carefully, she will always find some evidence."
Qing Qianxue spoke again.
Chu Youning said nothing more.
She felt that her heart was slowly calming down.
She lay on the stone table.
Seeing this, Qing Qianxue continued to set up the chessboard.
The word "Ning" on the chessboard slowly turned into a little cat, and then into a little girl.
During this process, Chu Youning unconsciously closed his eyes and breathed evenly.
"Don't worry...whatever you worry about will not happen. I will protect you and let you continue to love this world."
Qing Qianxue raised her eyes, looked at Chu Youning and whispered softly.
After a long time.
He walked out of the pavilion and told Qian Miao to bring a blanket over.
After draping the blanket over Chu Youning, he picked him up and walked him step by step to the main courtyard of the house.
"Ask Qian Ying to come and serve me personally. I need to leave for a while.
If she wakes up before I return, send for me."
After lighting a soothing incense stick, Qing Qianxue slowly walked out of the room, saying this to Qian Miao before leaving.
Qian Miao nodded with a smile, and looking at the tightly closed gate, she couldn't help rubbing her hands and smiling like an auntie.
The master and the eldest princess are really becoming closer and closer.
After embroidering a bunch of shoes and wasting them, he successfully embroidered a pair of tiger-head shoes. It was time to put the small shirt on the agenda.
