When Qingyin took the third step, she looked up at Princess Jiade and said, "Beauty..."
Princess Jiade looked annoyed.
Why does this guy look like a lecher?
Who would say something beautiful about someone to her face?
Isn't this teasing?
But only Qingyin, who had been paying attention to her, knew that as soon as her beauty spoke, the little princess's expression visibly eased.
If you look more closely, you can see the slightly upturned corners of her mouth.
Although Princess Garter is good-looking, she was born with baby fat, so everyone only praises her for being cute.
So, this was the first time someone praised her as a beauty.
Which girl doesn't like to be praised for her good looks?
When Qingyin saw Princess Jiade's expression visibly ease, she continued on to the fourth step, "Beneath the beaded curtain."
Princess Jiade glanced at the pearl curtain beside her, then looked at her own seat. At that time, because she was angry with her mother, she deliberately sat far away.
Now, when I look up and see the rows of crystal clear beads above, I find them so beautiful.
When they reached the fifth step, Qingyin continued, "Sitting deep in thought, her brows furrowed."
The queen was slightly startled.
I didn't expect that Qing was really capable.
But this poem has some...
The Queen frowned slightly, then regained her usual gentle expression and praised, "Yes, it seems that Princess Jiang is indeed as talented and learned as the rumors say."
"Mother, aren't there a few more things you haven't said?" Princess Jiade asked anxiously.
Although she didn't quite understand the latter sentence.
However, it sounds like it should be used to describe a beauty's every frown, smile, and gesture.
She wanted to hear the rest.
Of course, after listening to it, she also hated the clear sound.
Don't think that this matter will be over if you just coax her a few words.
She is a princess, but she is not as good as a person who was married in exchange for marriage.
Don't think she is really stupid. She heard what her mother said to the nanny that day.
There was no such thing as marrying in place of her uncle. She was clearly marrying Jiang Suizhou in the beginning, but she didn't hear why she became Jiang Chen's wife later.
But she thought that this woman must have used some tricks.
Qingyin smiled softly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I don't deserve it."
It seems that this queen is worthy of her many years of immersion in the palace.
She had just said two sentences when she realized something was wrong.
Yes, she chose this poem on purpose.
Since the little princess wanted to embarrass her so much, she naturally had to repay him.
Princess Jiade was about to speak when the Queen glanced at her. She pretended not to notice and turned her gaze towards Qingyin. With obvious ill intentions in her eyes, she sneered, "I heard that Princess Jiang was originally married to Prince Jiang."
Qingyin nodded, "Yes."
"I also heard that Princess Jiang returned to Prince Jiang's courtyard after her wedding, and that you two also consummated your marriage that night."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Queen slammed the table and said, "Nonsense! Who allowed you, a girl, to ask such questions? Who has defiled the princess's ears? Go and find out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the servants who served the princess personally knelt on the ground.
Princess Jiade grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Mother, I'm already grown up, and Princess Jiang did these things, so why can't I say anything about it?"
Qingyin stood aside, her expression unchanged by these words.
If it were before, she might have had to come up with excuses.
But since the imperial edict issued yesterday acknowledged her identity, she naturally had nothing to explain.
As the saying goes, three people make a tiger, and many mouths can melt gold.
She didn't have the time to explain them one by one.
The Queen's eyes fell on Qingyin and she saw that she was as graceful as before.
A hint of goodwill arose in my heart.
After all, she knew a lot more about the marriage exchange.
It's really great that you can come up with a way to deal with the situation and get out of it safely.
She and the emperor were a young couple, and their open and covert struggles have never stopped over the years.
Therefore, she was truly disgusted with Jiang Suizhou for doing such a thing on their wedding night.
"Empress, Prince Jiang requests an audience." A man suddenly ran in from outside and reported.
The Queen cast her gaze upon Qingyin and said with a smile, "It's quite unusual today. Please invite someone in."
Hearing the obviously joking laughter, a blush appeared on Qingyin's delicate white cheeks, and she lowered her head in time to hide her shyness.
On the other hand, when she heard that Jiang Chen was outside, she was so angry at Qingyin's attitude before she could even feel surprised.
Does this woman understand propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame?
She looks shy when she is outside.
So, when Jiang Chen stepped in, he saw the three people's completely different expressions. He bowed slightly to the queen and said, "Greetings, Her Majesty."
"Your Highness, please be polite and sit down." The Queen gestured to the nanny next to her to serve the tea.
Jiang Chen walked to Qingyin's side and said, "I won't bother the Queen any more. The prince and the princess will take their leave first."
After the two of them left the Queen's palace, Princess Jiade could no longer bear it and smashed the teacup next to her.
The Queen sighed slightly and said, "Jia De."
Princess Jiade felt a little aggrieved, "Mother, he, he didn't even glance at me from the moment he came in until he left."
The queen comforted him, "He doesn't look at you because his eyesight is poor. In the future, there will be someone who will be full of you."
"Then, will that person be as handsome as General Jiang?" asked Princess Jiade.
The queen shook her head and laughed, it seemed she still had the mind of a child.
On the other side, Jiang Chen and Qingyin walked side by side. Suddenly, he asked, "Did I give you any trouble?"
Qingyin shook her head, "The Queen is kind and generous."
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Did the little princess bully you?"
She didn't take Princess Jiade's tricks seriously, but when she looked up, her eyes seemed to be slightly moist, but she didn't say anything, just looked up at him quietly.
Jiang Chen stretched out his palm to cover the pair of misty eyes, "It seems that you have really been bullied."
Every time he bullied her too harshly, she would accuse him with this look.
Qingyin pursed her lips and said angrily, "The little princess is just a little more lively."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen withdrew his hand and gently tapped Qingyin's forehead.
Qingyin touched the spot that didn't hurt and said angrily, "General, why are you bullying me again?"
Jiang Chen smiled but said nothing. This was just the beginning.
He would teach her in the evening what constituted real bullying.
Qingyin's crying never stopped that night.
But the rebellious man just gently kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
And then, again...
Night is about to turn into dawn.
The sudden rain stopped inside the house.
This time Jiang Chen did not let Qingyin fall into a deep sleep as he wished. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her eyebrows gently.
Qingyin felt a little itchy on her face and muttered, "Husband."
She was really tired.
Jiang Chen pinched her nose in amusement, but he couldn't bear to quarrel with her anymore.
Qingyin, who was about to fall into darkness, was startled. She tried hard to open her eyes, and met the reluctance in Jiang Chen's eyes.
Reluctant?
