Upon hearing this, Ma Feng's face showed a mixture of surprise and delight.
Watching Ning Qing's departing figure, my respect for her deepened even more.
Once he came to his senses, he immediately ordered the guards to keep a close watch on the man.
We will take further action after reporting to His Majesty.
When Ning Qing stepped into the palace, Qu Shaoyu had already gotten up and was washing up with the help of a group of eunuchs.
Ning Qing walked over, took a towel out of the golden basin, wrung it out, and handed it over.
Qu Shaoyu was not surprised at all when he saw Ning Qing walk in from outside.
When he got up, the hidden guards had already reported everything.
When Qu Shaoyu took the towel from Ning Qing, he also glanced at him and sized him up.
His clothes were intact, without a trace of blood.
Only then did I feel relieved.
After everyone had set out breakfast, they withdrew.
Ning Qing also helped Qu Shaoyu put on his dragon robe for court, then picked him up and carried him to the dining table.
The two sat down together on the chair.
Ning Qing scooped a spoonful of bird's nest porridge and brought it to Qu Shaoyu's lips.
"Come on, wife, open your mouth and drink the porridge."
Qu Shaoyu, who was sitting on Ning Qing's lap, glanced at her sideways.
She pouted, a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"I'm not a child."
Ning Qing couldn't help but chuckle to herself. With that pouty little face of yours, you really don't look like someone who's grown up!
"Okay, okay, you're not a child anymore."
Qu Shaoyu caught a glimpse of the doting smile in Ning Qing's eyes out of the corner of his eye.
My heart feels increasingly blocked.
"I'm telling you, many people my age have already gotten married and had children."
Ning Qing nodded, leaned close to his ear, and whispered something.
"Yes, my Xiaoyu has grown up."
"I am the most qualified to speak on this matter, after all, I have personally witnessed it..."
Before Ning Qing could finish speaking, a hand covered his mouth, silencing her completely.
Qu Shaoyu glared at her fiercely.
"Don't say it."
Ning Qing's smile deepened.
The tip of my tongue lightly brushed across my palm.
The wet, itchy sensation in his palm made Qu Shaoyu immediately withdraw his hand.
She glared fiercely at Ning Qing again, pursed her lips, and spoke with a pitiful expression.
"You... are so mean."
That deliberately fierce look, paired with that pitiful expression, is really touching.
Ning Qing tightened her arms around his waist and leaned down to give his little head a big kiss.
She leaned close to his ear and whispered a warning.
"Xiaoyu, stop seducing me, or you won't be able to go to court today."
Qu Shaoyu's ears began to feel hot and burning.
"Can't you just stop spouting such nonsense?"
Ning Qing replied in a low, leisurely voice.
"Oh...so this is utter nonsense?"
"If you don't like it, I won't say anything next time."
Qu Shaoyu's cheeks flushed, his eyes flickered, and he bit his lip, finally managing to utter a sentence after a long pause.
"You...you like to talk, can I stop you?"
Ning Qing's smile deepened.
This kid clearly enjoys listening, but he's pretending to be reserved.
Say you don't like it!
I just spoil him!
Breakfast ended with Ning Qing feeding the child.
Qu Shaoyu patted his round little belly, which was full from eating too much, and stood up.
She lowered her eyes and glared angrily at Ning Qing, the culprit.
Ning Qing chuckled and reached out to gently stroke his slightly protruding belly, which was a result of eating too much.
"Yes, it's so cute."
Before Ning Qing could touch it a few more times, her hand was slapped away by a merciless hand.
