Chapter 7 Thank You Princess
Murong Heli: "Okay, Princess."
On the other side, Leng Yue appeared silently in the imperial study and reported to Qi Junqi everything that happened in Xiwu Palace, including the fact that Qi Yue brought Murong Heli and the other person back to the bedroom.
Qi Junqi frowned slightly, thinking of that boy. He did have a good appearance, but he was too cunning. He was afraid that his younger sister would be taken advantage of.
Qi Junqi: "It's okay, if the princess likes it, let her play, you just keep an eye on her. Remember, no matter what, you must protect the princess."
Leng Yue: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Qi Junqi: "Back off."
The dark mask on Leng Yue's face flashed, and he disappeared in the imperial study again.
Qi Junqi: "Dark Moon."
A figure wearing the same dark guard uniform flashed in the imperial study, wearing the same dark mask as Leng Yue, but he was a male dark guard, "Your Majesty."
Qi Junqi: "Go check on the orphan girl that Jiang Sheng brought back, and also check on everything that Jiang Sheng did in Beiyang Pass this year."
Dark Moon: "Yes, Your Majesty."
It was getting dark outside the imperial study, and Xun An reminded softly, "Your Majesty, it's time for dinner. Today, the Queen specially cooked your favorite codfish soup for you."
Qi Junqi raised his head and said, "Let's go to Kunning Palace."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise outside the imperial study, and the door was pushed open with a bang.
A young man in his twenties with a flamboyant appearance rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, did your sister really divorce Jiang because he was so ugly?"
He was wearing a black and red outfit. Although he had reached the age of 18, his black hair was still tied with only a red hairband. He was followed by a few young eunuchs who failed to stop him.
Qi Junqi waved his hand and asked people to leave. When he met that cynical face, the veins on his forehead throbbed.
"Gu Qingyu! If you don't want to be this little marquis, I will immediately strip you of your title!"
"You're already an adult, why do you still wear a headband? Look at the way you're dressed, what's the difference between you and that ignorant dandy?"
Gu Qingyu straightened his messy clothes and said nonchalantly, "The title was awarded by your majesty anyway. If you want to reduce it, you can do so. It will be considered as returning it to its original owner. I am a useless playboy. Your majesty is not wrong."
"Your Majesty, you haven't told me whether your sister has divorced that Jiang Kezun or not?"
Qi Junqi did not answer but asked: "What on earth are you doing here?"
Seeing that he did not deny it, Gu Qingyu immediately assumed that Qi Yue had divorced him, and hurriedly said, "I'm here to ask to marry your sister..."
Realizing that this was not formal enough, he stepped back, knelt solemnly, and changed his words: "Your Majesty, I am here to ask for the hand of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Fearing that Qi Junqi would not agree, he added, "Your Majesty, a year ago you said that the princess had a lover, and you and the late emperor rejected my proposal. Now the princess has divorced him, so you can't use the same reason to dismiss me again."
To be honest, Gu Qingyu is the nephew of the Queen Mother's family, and the Queen Mother is the adopted daughter of the Gu family. Although there is no blood relationship, the Gu family has always treated the Queen Mother very well.
In name, Gu Qingyu is Qi Junqi and Qi Yue's cousin, and they grew up together.
If Qi Yue had not devoted herself to Jiang Sheng at the beginning, Qi Junqi really hoped that Qi Yue could marry back to the Gu family. In the Gu family, she would surely be able to live a peaceful, happy and loving life with her husband.
Now, maybe the imperial sister can really renew her relationship with Gu Qingyu, but I’m afraid the imperial sister doesn’t have such intention towards Gu Qingyu, not to mention that she just brought Murong Heli back to her palace today.
Thinking of this, Qi Junqi still couldn't bear to make decisions for his own imperial sister without permission.
Then he said, "You need to ask the Imperial Sister about this matter. If the Imperial Sister is willing to marry you, I will grant you the marriage. If the Imperial Sister is not willing, you can give up this idea."
Gu Qingyu was nervous and depressed. If the eldest princess was willing to marry, why should he go through all this trouble?
Gu Qingyu said in a muffled voice: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
It was already night, and it was not a good idea for him to go look for Qi Yue at this time. He could only give up, leave the palace and return home, and make plans tomorrow.
The palace maid Ahuan was a mute girl. After waking up, she didn't see Murong Heli and became very panicked. She kept making gestures with He Xiang, but He Xiang didn't understand sign language, and both of them were so anxious that sweat broke out on their foreheads.
It happened that Qi Yue brought Murong Heli into the side hall. When Ah Huan saw them, she rushed over and knelt in front of Murong Heli. She didn't dare to touch him and could only stare at him carefully.
Murong Heli frowned slightly. He helped her up and seemed to see her worry. He comforted her, "I'm fine. You don't have to worry. It was the princess who saved us."
After looking at Qi Yue, Ah Huan broke free from his hand and knelt down in front of Qi Yue. He kowtowed three times, then made a few gestures to her and made the same gestures to Murong Heli again.
Murong Heli: "Ahuan said thank you to the princess."
Ah Huan nodded vigorously at Qi Yue, she raised her head, then walked to the table and sat down.
He Xiang stepped back to her side, tactfully took out a handful of melon seeds from the small cloth bag she was carrying, and placed them next to her hand with a handkerchief.
Qi Yue picked up some melon seeds and ate them while watching the interaction between the two people leisurely.
Murong Heli looked at Ah Huan tenderly, and as he spoke he used gestures to explain to her what had happened.
Ah Huan looked at his injured wrist and right face, and couldn't stop the pain on his face. It seemed that there was even a hint of admiration in his eyes?
But Murong Heli's eyes were indeed clear, and he only had normal concern for her without any extra emotions.
Murong Heli: "Princess, can Ah Huan and I stay in the Moon Palace together? Princess, just assign us some tasks..."
Qi Yue said with a smile: "How can you tell that I'm short of people to work here?"
Seeing his expression slightly stiff, Qi Yue continued, "But... since I told you to serve me before, then your maid should stay as well and let her do some rough work in the outer hall."
Murong Heli's ears turned red and he coughed unnaturally. Ah Huan wanted to gesture something after hearing what he said, but was stopped by his eyes.
Murong Heli: "Thank you, Princess."
Qi Yue waved her hand: "Alright, let your maid have a good rest, you can follow me."
Ah Huan also wanted to follow, but was rejected by Murong Heli. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms, and watched the three people leave unwillingly...
Qi Yue brought the person back to the bedroom and let He Xiang go back to rest.
After entering the room, Qi Yue looked at his nervous look and became amused again. She raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "Help me change my clothes."
Hearing this, Murong Heli didn't hesitate at all and went straight forward to undress Qi Yue.
