"The Queen and the Khan seem truly in love, but since she's new to the desert, she might not know this yet. The Khan is actually a man who cherishes the past."
Lina's voice was not loud, and she even had a smile on her face while speaking, but the provocation in her words was very strong.
Qin Yanning looked at Lina with a smile in her eyes. She felt that the person sitting in front of her was a little hedgehog who was trying hard to raise its spines to scare people.
Yuzhu stood behind Qin Yanning, suppressing the urge to roll her eyes. Wasn't this concubine saying all this just to show her own princess that she was the one who was with the Khan first?
Fortunately, she just thought that this concubine was pretty, but she didn't expect that she was also harboring evil intentions.
It has been some time since the Khan ascended the throne, and the court has been in turmoil over the issue of appointing his own princess as the Queen Consort.
But no matter how many voices there were from the outside world, this concubine did not come out to muddy the waters. She and Yutang originally thought that she was a good person, but they did not expect that she would wait until this moment to flatter her own princess.
Qin Yanning didn't care about Lina's provocation at all. She reached out and took a lychee from the plate on the small table and put it in her mouth. "But things in this world are not always based on first come first served. If we are willing, even if it is going to snow today, we can still eat summer fruits, don't you think?"
Qin Yanning's impression of Lina was not too bad. She looked at Lina with a smile, waiting for her answer.
Lina looked at Qin Yanning's relaxed expression and the red marks on her neck, knowing that she had lost completely. However, she had been strong all her life, so naturally she was unwilling to admit her defeat easily.
What's more, when she first met Tuoba Ling in her teens, she was stunned by him, and then kept him in her heart for several years. Asking her to let him go in an instant was simply a fantasy.
Lina forced a smile, still holding herself together. She retorted, "But anything out of season is harmful to your health. I just had nothing better to do today, so I came to bother the Queen Mother. Now that she's about to eat, I'll take my leave."
Lina breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the palace servants coming in to serve the meal.
She had inquired about Qin Yanning's background and knew about her experiences in the Dazhang Palace. She originally thought that this little princess from the Central Plains must be a weak beauty, but she didn't expect that she would speak with hidden ulterior motives and that she was no match for her at all.
Her trip today not only failed to anger Qin Yanning, but instead made her feel confused.
Lina had never felt as adorable as she did now when the palace servant who came to serve the meal was so lovely.
When I saw the dishes carried by the palace servants, they didn't look like dishes cooked in the desert.
Lina only felt more bitter in her heart. She came just as Qin Yanning woke up, so the meal must have been prepared by Tuoba Ling's subordinates.
It turns out that a man who looks as unattainable as an iceberg can also take care of others.
Qin Yanning laughed as she watched Lina's back as she almost fled. This little concubine was quite interesting. She had thought she was arrogant and domineering, but she didn't expect that she would be so restrained.
She doesn't look like a concubine looking for trouble, but more like a little girl who is sulking.
Yuzhu also laughed as she looked at Lina's back. This concubine was really strange. She came in a hurry and her words were full of dissatisfaction with her own princess. But why did she suddenly run away before she finished speaking?
As soon as Lina walked out of the palace gate, Lin Yue and Nanny Ming arrived.
Lin Yue looked at Lina who ran out quickly with red eyes, and looked at Aunt Ming in confusion, "Aunt, who was that just now?"
Nanny Ming was well-informed and whispered to Lin Yue about Linna's origins. "She must have been the concubine the Khan married before he ascended the throne. I heard her name was Linna. Since the Khan ascended the throne, she has been sitting in the most secluded part of the palace."
"The maids below all said that they rarely saw anyone from her palace walking around."
Nanny Ming was also a little puzzled. Why did this almost invisible concubine come to see Qin Yanning for no reason?
After knowing Lina's background, Lin Yue frowned involuntarily. It was only the first day of Ningning and Tuoba Ling's wedding, and someone came to provoke them. She didn't know if her Ningning felt wronged.
Thinking of this, Lin Yue walked in quickly. Qin Yanning saw her expression and knew that she had run into Lina.
Qin Yanning deliberately teased Lin Yue, "Looking at the expression on Mother's face, someone who didn't know her would think she came to settle a score with me. Who on earth has upset Mother?"
The rest of the people in the hall were all aware of Lin Yue's identity, so Qin Yanning didn't care about his address.
Seeing Qin Yanning deliberately showing off in front of her, Lin Yue's expression softened a lot. "You little girl, you only know how to talk nonsense. Mother loves you so much that I can't wait to settle the score with you."
Lin Yue sat down next to Qin Yanning and looked at her carefully for a long time before she was sure that her precious daughter had not been wronged. She patted Qin Yanning's hand and said, "I'm glad you didn't get angry."
Qin Yanning knew that Lin Yue was sensitive, so he quickly served her a bowl of porridge. "Why would I be angry? With all the treasures I have, even Tuoba Ling wouldn't dare to be angry with me."
Lin Yue looked at Qin Yanning, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself. Now it seemed that the Khan really doted on Ningning, but there were many unkind and ungrateful men in this world, and few of them were faithful to one woman.
She naturally also hoped that Tuoba Ling and Ningning could be together for the rest of their lives, but he was a Khan after all, and it was more likely that he would become an emperor who unified the world in the future.
If that day really comes, she just hopes that her Ningning will not be hurt.
Lin Yue said, "Mother knows you are capable, and the Khan loves you, but if one day he has another woman by his side, mother still hopes you can think more about yourself. A man's favor is just icing on the cake."
Qin Yanning never thought that Lin Yue, who had spent most of her life in the deep palace, could come up with such advanced ideas. She whispered to comfort Lin Yue, "Don't worry, mother. No one is more important than me."
Seeing that Qin Yanning understood, Lin Yue finally put her heart at ease. For her, now she only hoped that her daughter could be happy.
On the other side, Tuoba Ling hurried back to the bedroom after court. Feeling the warmth in the bedroom and seeing Qin Yanning sitting on the couch reading a book, he just wanted time to stop at this moment.
It was late autumn at this moment, and the air was already bone-chillingly cold. Tuoba Ling rubbed his cold hands and sat down next to Qin Yanning. Qin Yanning did not look up, but held Tuoba Ling's hand.
Tuoba Ling tucked Qin Yanning's drooping hair behind her ears and gently kissed her on the cheek.
"Ningning, I have something to tell you."
