Concubine Feng’s words hit the nail on the head.
Feng Ling pursed her lips and couldn't utter a word.
"In my mother's opinion, Wan Yatou is a hundred times better than Qin Ningyue. Not to mention Wan Yatou's abilities, her tenacious character, her broad mind, and her fearlessness – how can Qin Ningyue compare to hers?
You were so good to her back then, but what did she do when something bad happened? She must have learned about Wan's abilities now, so she felt a sense of crisis and came to your house again to express her regret.
Ling'er, you have been a smart person since you were young. Mother believes in your judgment. In your heart, you should have a clear idea of who is a good girl and who you like."
Feng Ling lowered his eyes. He had already understood and seen through his mother's words.
"Mother, I have no feelings for the eldest daughter of the Qin family. I do not like her."
Feng Ling said.
After talking for so long, I finally heard my son say this.
Concubine Feng knew that as long as Feng Ling said it, it was true.
"Where was the girl that night?"
Concubine Feng asked again.
This time Feng Ling was silent and he didn't speak for a long time.
A shadow fell in the room and the sunlight hit his profile. He seemed to have a lot to say, but didn't know where to start.
But it was this silence that made Concubine Feng understand everything. If her son didn't like her, he would have answered with a firm answer, but now this silence just proved that he liked her.
"You like it, right?"
Concubine Feng asked, her tone softening.
"It's always a wonderful thing to like someone, A Ling, is this the first girl you've fallen in love with?"
Concubine Feng asked softly.
When children grow up and leave their mother's arms, there is little time for them to sit down and talk to each other.
When Concubine Feng asked this, Feng Ling felt his face getting hot for some reason. He didn't say anything, but his ears had already turned red. However, his face was still tense and cold, which just confirmed his nervousness.
"Well, I like her."
Finally, he admitted his love in front of his mother.
Concubine Feng was so excited that she almost cried. In fact, she said so much today just to force out her son's true feelings. She was really afraid that the child would be stubborn and still want to be with Qin Ningyue. She really hated the eldest daughter of the Qin family. She was too selfish and utilitarian. Even if she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so what?
"What did Wan Yatou do to you? Have you ever expressed your feelings to Wan Yatou?"
Concubine Feng asked anxiously.
Feng Ling actually didn't want to talk about these things with his mother. He felt inexplicably embarrassed and pursed his thin lips tightly. But his mother was obviously looking forward to it. The phoenix eyes that were very similar to his looked at him with a gleam in them. Especially since his mother had told him all the stories between her and his father when they were young. If he didn't say anything, it would make his mother uncomfortable.
And this is also Concubine Feng’s purpose.
If you look closely, Concubine Feng's actions were linked together, and she played the emotional card, which eventually forced her son to speak his mind.
"She never expressed it, and she doesn't like me either."
After a long while, Feng Ling said, his mood dropped eight degrees.
As excited as Concubine Feng was before she said this, she felt as cold in her heart now.
It is true!
Wan Yatou doesn't like Ling'er.
This is a difficult matter.
"Then what should we do? Wan Yatou didn't like you in the first place. Now that Qin Ningyue has made such a fuss, especially when she claims to be your woman and has had physical contact with you, it's even more impossible for Wan Yatou to like you. I'm afraid that even if she had some affection for you before, it has now completely disappeared."
Concubine Feng spoke a little anxiously.
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured directly on Feng Ling's head.
He suddenly remembered that night in the cave, he kissed Qin Wan on the lips in a state of confusion and passion, and she just struggled for a moment and then didn't break free. They were kissing each other. Does this mean that she actually likes him a little bit?
"Ling'er, you must explain the matter of Qin Ningyue to Miss Wan clearly. Make it clear that nothing happened between you and Qin Ningyue. The relationship between you and her was just a life-saving favor. Duoyi only asked for the emperor's permission to marry you. You must not let Miss Wan have any grudges..."
“It happened.”
Concubine Feng was anxiously giving Feng Ling some advice, but suddenly she heard Feng Ling speak. She was stunned, not quite understanding the meaning of these three words, and subconsciously asked, "What happened?"
"I, your son, and Qin Ningyue did have physical contact."
hiss.
Concubine Feng gasped and was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.
She was a little puzzled, and looked at her son with a complicated look, "Are you saying that what Qin Ningyue said is true? Between you and her..."
"Um."
Feng Ling frowned tightly. He would not deny what he had done. He nodded, and his inner anxiety became even worse.
"How could this happen? Explain to your mother what exactly is going on. Ling'er, your mother knows you best. You are definitely not the kind of person who is obsessed with beauty. You are strict and self-disciplined, and you don't like women. There are no messy women around you. How did you get together with Qin Ningyue? But she plotted against you? That's not right..."
Concubine Feng spoke in a hurry, then shook her head and said, "She probably doesn't have that much courage. You once said that she saved your life, but is it related to this?"
Concubine Feng asked again.
Feng Ling nodded, "Yeah."
His memories were somewhat stretched out, back to that day four years ago, "I was drugged and my mind was hazy. The drug was extremely strong, and I accidentally walked into a teahouse. It was she who saved my life with her innocent body and helped me detoxify the spring poison."
Feng Ling said slowly.
In fact, the memory of that day was already very vague. She only remembered that the girl beside her ear had been crying softly, crying very softly, like a cat's meow, which made his heart soften. He coaxed her softly, telling her not to cry, and at the same time swore in his heart that he would treat her well in the future, would marry her, and make her the Princess of Yu.
But when he woke up later, there was no one around him, only a sachet with the word "moon" engraved on it.
Later, he found out that the eldest daughter of the Qin family had been to that teahouse. He found Qin Ningyue and asked her about what happened that day. Her eyes were red, but she did not deny it.
What was your mood at that time?
Feng Ling pursed his lips. He must have been happy before because he found his savior.
The doctor who examined the poison he had been poisoned with said that only a woman could cure it, otherwise he would die.
Qin Ningyue was his savior, there was no denying that.
He had wanted to give her the best with a heart full of guilt and gratitude, but... in fact, Qin Ningyue was a little different from what he had imagined, but this did not affect his determination to take responsibility and marry her, so he apologized solemnly, asked about her feelings, and then went to the palace to ask his father for the marriage. He had vowed to give her the best things in the world, to grant her the title of Princess Yu, and that he would never let her down in this life.
But things change...
