"I'm not familiar with it!"
"But why do I feel like you have a good impression of him?"
Damn, it’s obviously you who has a crush on that person, so you think the whole world is competing with you!
Dugu Yu looked at Qin Qingyao's aggrieved and depressed expression, and approached her even more aggressively.
The tip of his nose was almost touching hers, and his eyes were staring into hers without blinking, not missing any evasive look from her.
"You're so passionate about him!"
Qin Qingyao muttered softly, "I'm just afraid that he will abandon you..."
"What did you say?"
"I said, I'm warm to him because he's your good brother. I'm afraid that you'll make him feel disappointed because of Prince Duan and Lin Xiafeng, so I treat him better!"
"He's your military advisor. You're a master of war, and he's incredibly intelligent. Without him, you'd just be fighting battles and getting killed sooner or later. And without you, he'd just be a weak scholar with no ability to protect himself. You two should love each other and stay together until old age!"
Instead of with Ling Jingxuan and Lin Xiafeng!
What's more, those two people will not love and stay with you until old age. They will kill you!
Bah, why did she use the words "love each other" and "grow old together" between Murong Ce and Dugu Yu? Damn it!
Dugu Yu frowned in dissatisfaction. Who wants to be with Murong Ce and spend their lives together in love? What kind of nonsense is this little girl thinking?
Also, what does it mean that if he leaves Murong Ce, he will only know how to fight and will be killed sooner or later?
Does she really not trust his intelligence?
"Qingqing~"
"Um?"
"Am I good-looking or is Murong Ce good-looking?"
Qin Qingyao: "..."
Just talk, why are you taking off your clothes and showing your abs?
You are suspected of bribing the referee and affecting judicial justice!
A judge sincerely placed her cold hands on someone else's hot abdominal muscles and said, "My husband is the best looking!"
…
After eating and drinking, a certain person looked tenderly at the little woman who was curled up in his arms like a good cat. Thinking of the disaster in the south reported to him by Murong Ce today, he considered whether he should let her know.
"Qingqing, why do you think the account book issue has something to do with Prince Duan, and not the Crown Prince?"
Qin Qingyao didn't even think about it and blurted out, "The prince is too stupid to do something that requires such brainpower."
Dugu Yu: “…”
The prince only did two things in the whole book. The first was about the situation. He could do nothing and had to wait for Prince Duan to save the situation.
The second is the intrigue behind the scenes. If you can't do anything right, you'll just have to wait for Prince Duan to slap you in the face.
The fact that Dugu Yu was fleeced in the Northwest Camp was not revealed in the original novel until the very end, so it was definitely not done by the prince, but definitely by the male protagonist!
The reason why the prince was so powerful in the early days was that he had a lot of talented people around him to support him.
Then the process of the prince's defeat was the history of the wise men around him turning over a new leaf and joining His Royal Highness Prince Duan!
It seems that they went to the prince's place just to play jungle, develop, and gain experience. After they matured, they all went to work under Prince Duan to make achievements!
So the prince was completely deserted by his friends and family in the end. As a villain, his ending was quite satisfying to the readers.
Qin Yuelu, that stubborn guy, was a die-hard loyalist to the prince from the beginning to the end, but ended up being a cannon fodder with even less plot than Qin Qingyao. Moreover, the prince never listened to what he said!
Dugu Yu had always thought that Qin Qingyao was particularly active and attentive to the Crown Prince, but he didn't expect that she disliked him so much...
He kissed her on the cheek with satisfaction and fell asleep holding his wife in his arms.
On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, a rare guest came to the Wuling Palace: Princess Anli of Prince Yi's family.
In the original novel, this princess is a very important female supporting character in the first third of the plot.
She is also the only female supporting character in the whole book who is extremely talented, of noble descent, well-educated, able to distinguish right from wrong, and who does not quarrel with the heroine. Instead, she consciously and spontaneously protects the heroine!
Lin Xiafeng is a concubine's daughter and is always bullied by her own family and other legitimate daughters.
At the beginning, when she is still in the upgrading stage and has not yet developed, she cannot fight back openly when being bullied. This is the time for the male supporting characters around her to show their favor.
Among the many male supporting roles who come one after another to protect the heroine, there is a very beautiful and elegant female supporting role, Princess Anli.
When the princess first met Lin Xiafeng, she was being humiliated in all directions by a group of ladies from wealthy families. So as soon as she appeared, all of them were defeated.
She has a sense of chivalry and heroism of a female hero in the martial arts world.
But her eyesight is not good. In her eyes, the awesome heroine is just a little white flower beaten by wind and rain?
She has always regarded herself as Lin Xiafeng's protector, but she didn't know that she was actually just a little follower of Lin Xiafeng!
Even though she has such a deep sisterly relationship with the heroine, Princess Anli does not have many scenes in the original novel. After the heroine matures, she is written out of the story by the author.
The heroine is already able to perform in front of the emperor and dominate everyone, so it is naturally not the turn of her little princess to escort her and steal her limelight.
She couldn't add luster to the heroine like those vicious female supporting characters, so she had to disappear.
It seems that the author didn't even arrange a home for her in the end, and I don't know how many readers still remember her.
Anyway, if she hadn't come to visit in person, Qin Qingyao would not have remembered that there was such a character in the book.
So, why are the female characters in novels so vicious?
To add drama!
As a supporting actress, it is not easy to survive. If they don’t make trouble, add drama, or seek death in front of the heroine, what is the meaning of their existence?
There is no chance to even appear on the stage!
Qin Qingyao's entire impression of Princess Anli was that she helped the weak heroine deal with the bullying daughters of various families and protected the weak chivalrous woman.
Therefore, she did not hate Princess Anli, and she was quite envious of Lin Xiafeng for having such a chivalrous and brave best friend.
Although it got disconnected later.
Strangely enough, the entire Prince Yi's Mansion, from the old dowager empress to the little brats, and the princes and princesses in between all like Lin Xiafeng and are her backers!
Everyone treats her better than their own daughter or sister. It's really unexplainable!
Where is the logic in this?
…
As Princess Anli was a female member of the family, after she arrived at Prince Wuling's Mansion, the servants naturally went to inform the princess.
At this time, Dugu Yu had just returned from court and was having dinner with Qin Qingyao.
He asked the princess to wait in the living room and urged Qin Qingyao to eat a few bites quickly. Dugu Yu himself didn't eat much, and the two of them went to meet the guests.
This was the first time Qin Qingyao met Princess Anli. She was just as she had imagined, decisive and heroic, giving people a very good impression.
At the same time, Princess Anli was also looking at Qin Qingyao. As Lin Xiafeng's good sister, it was hard for Princess Anli not to know about Qin Qingyao's shocking and incredible feats!
It's just that he had received royal education since childhood, and he had mastered the skill of hiding his emotions by the age of three, so he didn't show it at all.
"My younger sister has met Brother Dugu and the princess."
"My lord, there's no need to be so polite. If you have anything to say, why don't you let someone inform me? It's so cold, and I'm sorry to bother you to come here in person."
Princess Anli smiled and said, "I've been stuck in the palace all day, so it's time to get out and walk around. I haven't been here for a long time. I'm sorry for being so intrusive this time, so please forgive me, Brother Dugu."
"No problem, princess, what's the matter?"
"Last month, the palace sent an invitation, hoping to invite Brother Dugu and the princess to come over to accompany the old concubine to celebrate Laba Festival. Brother Dugu, you are very busy, and I am afraid you will forget, so as a show of sincerity, I came to remind you in person!"
An Li spoke with full sincerity and winked playfully. No one would say that the invitation had been thrown away.
Dugu Yu said rather embarrassedly, "Thank you, Princess, for reminding me. It's my fault. I think this post..."
An Li covered her mouth and smiled, "Lost it?"
Dugu Yu felt a little sorry and nodded.
"That's no big deal. What kind of invitation does Brother Dugu need to visit our Prince Yi's Mansion? Just go there when the time comes!"
"The old concubine is old, and she just likes to be lively. During festivals, she always likes to organize some parties and invite some young people to accompany her. I hope that Brother Dugu will bear with her for a while and don't feel annoyed!"
"Your Highness, you are too kind. It is an honor for our Wuling Palace to be able to accompany the old concubine to celebrate the festival!"
Princess Anli nodded in satisfaction. "Well, that's it. Brother Dugu, don't forget it tomorrow. I'll go back and wait for the gift."
If the princess hadn't mentioned accepting the gift, Dugu Yu wouldn't have remembered that the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month was also Princess Anli's birthday.
After sending Princess Anli away, Dugu Yu looked at Qin Qingyao with some difficulty in speaking, "This..."
Qin Qingyao didn't care at all. "Go ahead. The princess has come to invite you personally, and the old concubine has moved out. How can you not go out?"
He is the most honorable old man in the world. He is willing to let you accompany him during the festival. He really thinks highly of you.
Even the emperor has to be respectful when he sees her, so what is the Wuling Palace?
But Qin Qingyao was still quite melancholy. There was no way to avoid this plot, right?
In the original novel, Dugu Yu went to Prince Yi's Mansion without any resistance, so Princess Anli did not interfere.
Now, I don’t know if the powerful plot master himself is unwilling to accept the tampering and has started to work hard to repair it. It’s creepy enough to think about it.
Qin Qingyao felt upset when she thought that Dugu Yu would be around Lin Xiafeng tomorrow.
And there was Princess Anli. She had a good impression of her, but women's intuition was very accurate. Although she behaved generously and appropriately, Qin Qingyao still clearly felt rejected.
Forget it, it’s normal that Lin Xiafeng’s good friend doesn’t like her, as long as her husband likes her!
They had originally said they would not go, so they had not made any preparations. Tomorrow was Laba Festival, and Dugu Yu had to hurry to the warehouse to pick out a gift for the old concubine.
