"No, Yuwen Yao, come here and give me a kiss."
Xie Lingqin smiled gently and extended the invitation.
Yuwen Yao was taken aback, and then a heart-pounding laugh appeared in his eyes.
...
Not long after.
Li Qingyu, accompanied by her maid, was led into Qingshui Pavilion by Zihe.
Leaving the maid outside, Li Qingyu smiled and gracefully entered the main house.
"Miss Li has arrived."
Xie Lingqin was lifting the curtain separating the inner and outer rooms and walking out.
With just one glance, the expression in Li Qingyu's eyes changed.
It was clearly filled with disbelief and shock.
Xie Lingqin's black hair was loose, and she was only wearing an inner garment with an outer robe over it, but it was not tied at the waist. The buttons were loose, revealing her snow-white collarbone. Below the collarbone, a red mark was so obviously visible that it caught people's attention.
Let's not talk about Li Qingyu.
At the doorway, Tridacna, who was bringing in tea and pastries, was stunned by the sight of this young lady and almost dropped the teapot.
"Miss Xie, why are you like this..."
Li Qingyu tried her best to calm herself down, her complexion neither good nor bad.
Based on her recent understanding of Xie Lingqin, she shouldn't be like this.
Their first meeting was either sparks flying or Xie Lingqin was clearly outmatched by her.
But.
The usually aloof and indifferent Xie Lingqin appeared before her with a captivating and alluring charm.
His appearance was disheveled, his clothes were unkempt, and he was almost in a state of debauchery...
Although she was inexperienced in love, she could tell what the red marks under Xie Lingqin's collarbone meant, and she could also tell what the spring-like look in her eyebrows and the cherry-red color of her lips represented.
This is clearly a conflict with people...
However, I have never heard of Xie Lingqin with anyone... Even if she did, a normal person wouldn't go out in public like that.
This makes it impossible for anyone to see through her or guess what she's thinking.
"Oh, I just woke up from a nap. I hope Miss Li won't mind my rudeness."
Xie Lingqin even yawned lazily.
Li Qingyu secretly looked into the inner room, but there was nothing there.
"No, it's just that Miss Xie's complexion..." Li Qingyu smiled awkwardly, "is a little off."
"You noticed it too?" To everyone's surprise, Xie Lingqin immediately stepped over and sat down next to Li Qingyu, her eyes crinkling with laughter. "Me? I dreamt of the Crown Prince."
"Dreaming of the Crown Prince?" Li Qingyu's expression tightened, and her beautiful eyes turned cold.
Yes, that's right.
Xie Lingqin lowered her head in embarrassment, looking quite shy.
At the entrance, not to mention the giant clam, even the placenta was almost unable to bear the sight.
Miss, such a young lady...
They are so disorganized.
"You...how could you dream of the Crown Prince?"
“Yes.” Xie Lingqin shook her head, looking puzzled. “I also find it very strange. I’m not familiar with the Crown Prince, but just now, I dreamed about him. In the dream, he actually…”
Xie Lingqin covered her lips again, looking quite shy, "I thought I was just dreaming, dreaming that he was very gentle with me, but when I woke up and looked in the mirror, I realized that it was actually true."
"It's just a dream."
Li Qingyu looked rather unwell.
"But it feels so real."
"Then, what about the Crown Prince?"
Li Qingyu unconsciously clenched her fingers, looking at Xie Lingqin, her voice deepening.
Xie Lingqin shook her head, "I was wondering why I couldn't find anyone when I woke up, and here you are, Miss Li. I was thinking that since we are both women, and I've heard that you are both literate and martial, and extremely intelligent, I wanted to ask you, do you think the Crown Prince truly likes me? But why didn't he say so during the day, only when I was asleep..."
"impossible."
Li Qingyu's voice turned somber.
Xie Lingqin's expression froze slightly. "Miss Li, what's wrong?"
Li Qingyu seemed to realize she had lost her composure, so she quickly composed herself, looked at Xie Lingqin, and softened her tone, "No, what I mean is, the Crown Prince is certainly not such a frivolous person. Miss Xie, you are just dreaming. Don't tarnish the Crown Prince's reputation so easily."
"But all these years, the Crown Prince has never shown any interest in any woman. Before, he said I was good at chess and played chess with me. Later, when the Prefect of the Capital wanted to question me in the game of 'All Under Heaven,' he stood up for me. Then, in the palace, after the Emperor ordered me to investigate a case, he asked the Crown Prince to help me. These past two days, although the Crown Prince has not shown his face, he has sent people to inquire about me. Isn't that enough to show that the Crown Prince likes me?"
"Miss Xie, you..."
"And you don't know, he was so gentle when he spoke to me. I've been thinking, was it because that day at the Marquis of Anping's residence, when he saved me and held me in his arms, that he fell in love with me at first sight..."
"I'm feeling a bit unwell right now. I'll visit Miss Xie another day. Goodbye."
Li Qingyu suddenly stood up, interrupting Xie Lingqin, and quickly left the room with a serious expression.
Outside the door, Li Qingyu's maid immediately followed.
"Miss Li, you haven't had your tea yet?" Xie Lingqin called softly from behind.
Li Qingyu didn't even turn her head.
"Tridacna shell, see Miss Li off."
"yes."
Only after Miss Li had disappeared from sight did Xie Lingqin straighten her clothes, her smile fading and replaced by an unyielding coldness.
You want to steal my man!
You are still young.
