Chapter 1559 An episode occurred
She immediately smiled and said, "That's perfect. Since you can skate, why not find an opportunity—"
"Sister Muzhen."
Before she could finish her words, Gu Qiqing interrupted her and said, "Let's talk about this later. It's getting late, we should go back early."
After saying that, he turned and walked forward.
Si Muzhen frowned.
She was so angry at Gu Qiqing for being so "hypocritical" that she had no place to vent her anger. However, she couldn't lose her temper in front of the King of Wei. She could only look back at Zhu Chengxuan with a smile and said, "This is how my little sister is. When she gets shy, she won't speak properly."
“…”
Zhu Chengxuan was stunned for a moment.
He subconsciously looked at Gu Qiqing who was walking in front of him. Sure enough, the tips of her ears were slightly red, as if she was really shy.
It seems that I was just being too reckless.
Originally, instigating Xinping to ask the Imperial Concubine to summon Gu Qiqing to the palace and asking Xinping to take her to the Imperial Garden were a bit excessive. As a lady from a famous family, she naturally could not be too casual.
But the more this happened, the more respect he felt for this girl.
Although he was still young and even his father and mother had not considered his marriage, when he traveled around, many women from official families took the opportunity to get close to him.
Some even resorted to despicable methods.
On the other hand, Gu Qiqing was very generous and neither humble nor arrogant.
Seeing her like this, Zhu Chengxuan's smile deepened a little, and he simply said, "Let's go back to Yikun Palace first."
Si Muzhen looked at the smile in his eyes and felt that her goal seemed to have been achieved.
Without saying much, the group continued walking towards Yiku Palace.
Arriving at the Yikun Palace, Nan Yan was somewhat surprised. She had not expected that it was the King of Wei who had sent them back, so she asked with a smile, "Why is Your Highness here?"
Wei Wang bowed to her and said, "Your Majesty, we just met in the Imperial Garden."
"Yeah."
Nan Yan looked at him, then at Gu Qiqing.
The expressions of the children immediately caught her eye.
She smiled calmly and said, "Please trouble your Highness the Prince of Wei."
"I dare not."
Nan Yan smiled again and said, "It's getting late, Qi Qing, you should have dinner in the palace before going back. Your Highness, would you like to stay with us?"
When Zhu Chengxuan heard this, his eyes lit up with joy.
Just as he was about to agree, he heard Gu Qiqing say, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's getting late. I'd like to go back early."
After she said this, several people became depressed.
Especially Si Muzhen, she immediately said: "Qiqing, the imperial concubine asked us to stay, how could you refuse? This is a sin."
Gu Qiqing glanced at her, then looked at Nan Yan cautiously and said softly, "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand."
“…”
"Qi Qing just felt that it was too late."
“…”
"Looking at the weather, I'm afraid it's going to snow."
Nan Yan looked at her, then at Zhu Chengxuan, who was looking a little depressed. She knew what was going on and smiled, "Don't worry. I won't get angry over such a small matter. You're right. It's going to snow soon, and it will be difficult for the carriage to travel any later. So you should go back."
"Thank you, Madam."
Gu Qiqing bowed to her, and Nan Yan asked Aunt Tongyun and Nian Qiu to see them out.
Watching them leave, Nan Yan withdrew her gaze and looked at King Wei, who was still looking at their backs with some reluctance, with a smile.
"Your Highness, would you like to stay for dinner?"
Zhu Chengxuan turned around hurriedly.
He felt a little embarrassed, not knowing whether his embarrassment had been exposed in front of the imperial concubine, but he immediately said, "Well, I'm sorry to bother you, Your Majesty."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "What polite words are you saying?"
Having said that, he asked someone to serve the meal.
During the meal, Zhu Chengxuan was still protecting his sister Xinping, and he would pick up whatever she wanted. Nan Yan sat beside them, watching them being so friendly and respectful to each other, and smiled.
There were slight ripples in my heart.
She understood Si Muzhen's thoughts clearly, and the whole thing was going according to her thoughts, but she didn't expect that such an episode would suddenly arise.
The King of Wei seemed to have some interest in Qi Qing.
All in all, the two men were of similar age and appearance, had similar personalities, and Qi Qing's family background was also sufficient. They were truly a match made in heaven.
But--
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "During the recent New Year holiday, I didn't see the King of Wei come out to play. Is he so busy every day?"
Zhu Chengxuan smiled carefully and said, "It was my mother who asked me to study more and practice martial arts."
"oh……"
"Mother is doing this for my own good."
"Of course. Your Highness, please understand the Queen's painstaking efforts."
The two had just said a few words when Zhu Chengxuan's hands slowed down a little, and Xinping, who had nothing in her mouth, started to make a fuss. He hurriedly coaxed her and put another piece of meat into his sister's mouth, and only then did she calm down.
Nan Yan sat beside her and smiled.
But in my heart, I was already feeling a little worried.
I'm afraid this matter still needs to go through the Queen's approval. I don't know how Xu Miaoyin will arrange the marriage for the King of Wei.
We can only take one step at a time and see what happens.

While the three people from Yiku Palace were having a meal together affectionately, there was a gloomy and cold atmosphere in Chonghua Palace.
Gao Yurong told Concubine Hui Wu Wan everything about her encounter with Si Muzhen at the door of the imperial study.
The emphasis was on relaying the "words of the imperial concubine".
When Wu Wan heard this, a cold light flashed in her eyes and she said coldly, "Are you telling the truth?"
Gao Yurong hurriedly said, "How dare I deceive the queen?"
“…”
"These words came from her own sister's mouth, so they can't be made up."
“…”
"Besides, when Feng Qianyan fell from power, she accused the Empress in front of the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine. Although the Imperial Concubine didn't take it personally, it seems she only wanted to trip Feng Qianyan up at that time and didn't want to cause any more trouble."
“…”
"But she may not have ignored Feng Qianyan's words."
Wu Wan's face became increasingly cold.
After a while, she gritted her teeth and said ferociously, "If she really wants to attack me, then I won't have to be soft on her."
“…”
"She shouldn't think that she can do anything to me just because she stepped on Feng Qianyan."
“…”
"I'm not as easy to deal with as Feng Qianyan."
“…”
"Even less like her, he's just an in-law without an official position. Even his uncle is just an ordinary cabinet minister."
Hearing her words, Gao Yurong's heart moved slightly.
This time she also heard that the Duke suddenly returned to the capital, and when he went to the Taimiao to worship the little princess, he was stopped by the imperial concubine.
It seemed like something had happened that she was unaware of.
So, he asked softly, "My Lady, is it the Duke—is there any action?"
