Chapter 242 The Person Next to You
"You! Su Qianqian, what do you mean by that?"
Princess Zhaoyang was so angry that she pointed at Su Qianqian's nose and wished she could tear her face off. She thought she was also infected with the rash that day and came here just to watch the fun and laugh at the joke, but she didn't expect that she was fine after all this trouble.
"Princess, please don't be angry. Let me explain... Oh, why is my cousin still kneeling here? It's so cold, what will happen if he hurts his knees... Why don't you go into the palace and kneel in front of His Majesty and the Empress? After all, there are heating heaters in the palace, so don't hurt yourself."
Su Qianqian winked at Du Hanyang.
Du Hanyang's eyes lit up: "My cousin is right. I have angered the princess, so I must apologize to His Majesty and the Queen."
He stood up and walked out of the courtyard. Marquis Dingyang followed closely behind him: "If you don't teach your child well, it's the fault of the father. Son, I kneel with you!"
When Princess Zhaoyang heard that the father and son were going to the palace to meet the emperor, she panicked and hurriedly followed behind to stop them, having long forgotten to pursue what Su Qianqian had said.
A crisis was thus resolved with the joint efforts of everyone. In the evening in Madam Qin's room, Su Qianqian narrated her experience to the female members of the Qin family. Except for Qin Yuzhuo, everyone was worried and admired her.
Qin Yuzhuo sat in the corner dejectedly, not daring to look at her mother and Su Qianqian. She had missed two opportunities to protect Su Qianqian during this hunt. Even if no one blamed her, she felt guilty.
Qin Hanzhang still didn't come back that night.
Although there was no danger, disturbing the emperor was no small matter, especially since the prince had injured his leg. The Imperial Guards and the Imperial City Guards carried out rectification overnight to ensure the emperor's safety.
It was not until the hour of Yin that Su Qianqian was awakened by a slight collapse beside the bed. She vaguely saw a figure lying beside her. She subconsciously muttered, "I'm back," and continued to sleep.
Qin Hanzhang looked at Su Qianqian sleeping soundly in the dim light. Her long eyelashes were like a feather fan, casting a shadow. Her small nose was pointed and upturned, her cheeks were bulging from being squeezed by the pillow, and her little mouth was pouting.
Her long hair spread out on the pillow. Qin Hanzhang carefully tidied it up for her, fearing that it would crush her. After thinking for a moment, he spread it out for her again, fearing that it would be inconvenient for her to turn over, so he just stayed away from her.
But when I think of the night she slept soundly while clinging to my body for warmth, I can't help but want to get closer to her again...
Qin Hanzhang finally quietly approached Su Qianqian, waiting with anticipation and nervousness.
But Su Qianqian slept very soundly. Apart from purring like a kitten as usual, she did not use her hands and feet to hold him down.
After waiting for a long time, Qin Hanzhang was a little disappointed. Perhaps he came back too late, Su Qianqian had already adapted to the temperature, and the weather was a little warmer today...
Just when Qin Hanzhang was regretting that he should have handed all those matters over to Duke Zhou, returned earlier, and not let the guards seal the windows tightly, Su Qianqian put one arm on Qin Hanzhang.
It’s just like when he was a child and was craving for the rice dumplings made from fermented glutinous rice, but was told that they were sold out. Just as he was about to leave in disappointment, a little girl wearing a veiled hat gave him a bowl of it. He was so surprised that he couldn’t express himself.
Qin Hanzhang didn't dare to move, for fear of waking Su Qianqian up, but he was also afraid that she would catch a cold, so he carefully covered her arm with the quilt.
Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Su Qianqian climbed up one of her legs again, moved closer to him, and rubbed her head against his shoulder.
Qin Hanzhang's heart turned into water, and countless flowers suddenly blossomed in his heart. He even forgot the knife wound on his shoulder. He just wanted to be snuggled by the person beside him and was willing to do anything for her.
But it wasn't long before daybreak. Qin Hanzhang reluctantly took Su Qianqian's arms and legs off his body, covered her with a quilt, and got up to wash and change clothes.
The sky was bright, Su Qianqian stretched and opened her eyes, and Su Mu came over and opened the tent.
"Last night...the Marquis came back?" Su Qianqian smelled a familiar scent, looked around and asked Su Mu.
"I came back at 3:00 pm and left after 7:00 pm. I told the servants not to disturb Madam. There is nothing important today. The breakfast is still being heated. Madam can go out for a walk after dinner. The weather is very good."
Su Mu had a happy look on his face. He was usually a very serious person, but he even looked at Su Qianqian meaningfully.
[Alas, it's like playing the lute to a cow. All of its seven orifices are blocked except for the ones used for breathing and eating. 】The system sighed.
[Tongzi, why do you speak strangely lately? Is there something wrong with the upgrade? 】
Su Qianqian got up to wash up and mocked the system at the same time.
After breakfast, I went to see Madam Qin. The three old ladies were in the hall, but no one else was seen.
"You're late. They're all out having fun. The prizes for the hunt will be decided soon, and they're all out to watch the fun."
The third old lady laughed and looked outside.
"Third Aunt, are you trying to take the prize?"
Su Qianqian joked, and suddenly remembered that Xin was not here either. Did she go out to play too? This is rare.
"Of course I wanted to get it... but of course I couldn't get it. I didn't hunt much before the snow, and I didn't go out of Xianglong Valley, so I didn't even hunt a rabbit."
The third old lady laughed heartily and had regained her former cheerfulness in the past two days.
[In order to make up for his mistake, the Third Master is now serving wholeheartedly, and the Third Madam has finally let it go. Between choosing to forgive and to hold a grudge, she chooses to let herself go and enjoy life. 】
The system ate a small melon and was about to add details, but the third old lady suddenly jumped up: "Oh, I forgot, there is still sweet soup on the stove, I have to go back and check it out."
As he spoke, the man had already rushed out, leaving behind an afterimage.
Madam Qin and her two daughters-in-law looked at each other and smiled, but they heard the maid report that the wife of the Prince of Xuanguo had arrived.
Su Xinxin walked in quickly, bowed to the elders, and then said with shining eyes: "Grandmother and aunt, do you know what happened in the palace last night?"
Everyone shook their heads in confusion. How could they easily know what was happening in the palace?
"I just met Madam Xu Jinglue, and heard that the Marquis of Dingyang and his son knelt in the emperor's bedroom last night.
Marquis Dingyang cried and said that he had not raised his son well and that his son dared to talk back to the princess. The princess said that she would not let the aunt of the Du family return home, so who would dare to disobey?
The princess wants to smash anyone's door, so who dares to stop her? The princess asks her fiancé to kneel, and it is only natural for a minister to kneel and a husband to kneel. From now on, Da Qi should act according to the princess' rules! ”
Su Xinxin couldn't help laughing when she said this.
"Eunuchs tried to pull him up but he refused, saying that they could not disobey the princess' order. This alarmed all the ladies in the palace and they all ran over to watch the fun.
In the end, the Emperor reprimanded Princess Zhaoyang and confined her to her home. He also comforted the Marquis Dingyang and his son, and told them that in the future the Empress would discipline them strictly and persuade them to leave the palace with kind words. ”
Su Xinxin took a sip of tea and her smile faded. "There is one more thing. The princess of Daliang who misbehaved in front of the emperor was favored by His Majesty last night and has been named Concubine Yun today."
The hall fell silent for a moment.
