It seems the more lively the atmosphere, the more I think of him.
Whenever I have a moment of free time, I can still think of that face.
Every action, every little thing reminds her of him, of that time she was drunk, of how carefully he took care of her…
Yuwen Yao, were you really so at ease when you did all that?
Moonlight streamed in through the window. The night was deep and quiet, with only a gentle breeze, yet it wasn't cold at all.
A tear slid down her cheek, and Xie Lingqin suddenly sneered, "You can't forget it, that's why you always remember that pain, that hurt."
Xie Lingqin suddenly patted her chest, pressed it gently, let out a soft sigh, covered her lips and chuckled softly before falling asleep.
Her cough seems to have really gotten better thanks to Dr. Dong's prescription.
However, she didn't sleep well that night.
On her first night in Southern Qi, she was plagued by nightmares.
The next day, early in the morning, Nan Fenghuang arrived, saying he wanted to take her to the palace.
At that time, Xie Lingqin had just gotten out of bed.
"Hurry up, these past few days, your father has found many famous doctors for you and prepared many medicines. Maybe they can cure the poison in your body?"
"What's the rush? Anyway, it's not too bad that it's being suppressed by the cloud technique inside my body right now."
"Good my ass, do you want to die? Hurry up, be quick, hurry up."
Xie Lingqin remained calm and methodical.
Nan Fenghuang grumbled from the side, "You're clearly older than me, but why do I feel like I'm the older sister?"
Xie Lingqin gently lifted the quilt, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, while outside the courtyard, someone immediately came up to help her change her clothes.
"This is……"
"Ah, this is the maid I brought for you from the palace. She will serve you personally from now on."
Xie Lingqin didn't object and cooperated readily. She looked quite well, but her interest wasn't high.
It seems that ever since she was injured by Yuwen Yao, she has been like this, as if she has wrapped herself up in a veil. Anyone who sees her will have the same expression and look from beginning to end.
Even if he smiles, it doesn't reach his eyes.
No one can see through or guess her true emotions.
"May I have your name?"
After getting dressed, Xie Lingqin looked at the woman who was helping her tie her hair.
"Your Highness, this servant is Qingxia."
"Qingxia..."
Xie Lingqin murmured those two words.
"A good name."
"Thank you for your praise, Princess."
Xie Lingqin didn't say much, but frowned slightly as she looked at the palace dress she was wearing.
Layer upon layer, gorgeous and beautiful, but too cumbersome, with a flowing skirt a meter long.
“Princess, this is palace attire, it’s what you’re supposed to wear.”
The observant Qingxia noticed Xie Lingqin's furrowed brows and quickly said...
Xie Lingqin couldn't help but glance at her again.
The woman had delicate eyebrows and large eyes, and her skin was excellent. She spoke with a lively and spirited air.
"Um."
When Xie Lingqin stood up, she did indeed amaze Nan Fenghuang.
She looks stunning even without makeup, but with just a touch of light makeup, she's truly breathtakingly beautiful and incomparably elegant.
"I'm a little jealous of your beauty."
"Just keep those words to yourself, otherwise I'll think you're insecure."
Xie Lingqin said, "To be honest, I didn't realize it before, but now that I look closely, she and this Nan Feng look quite similar."
It wasn't the facial features, but rather the fleeting charm that emanated from the person standing there.
That seemingly innate composure was not only something she had cultivated in her past life, but also a consequence of her identity.
As Xie Lingqin stepped out of the mansion gate, she was surprised to find a large crowd gathered outside.
"Look, look! Princess Lingqin is so beautiful."
"Wow...this is our Southern Emperor's long-lost princess, so beautiful..."
"That's right, that's right! What did Bei Rong say about our princess? They're so blind..."
"A beautiful and graceful woman is the object of a gentleman's affections..."
"I've been struck by inspiration and can compose a poem again. I'll give it to Princess Lingqin..."
Xie Lingqin listened to these rather bold arguments, then looked at Nan Fenghuang beside her, her eyes conveying a clear meaning.
Was the folk customs of the Southern Qi Dynasty really this open?
"Yes, yes, not bad, right?" Nan Fenghuang was quite proud of herself. Then, she leaned closer to Xie Lingqin and whispered in her ear, "The men of Nan Qi are great. You can have anyone you want. Father is already looking for someone for you."
"I am no longer innocent."
Xie Lingqin remained unmoved, her expression indifferent and aloof.
“Uh…this is not a big deal in Southern Qi. They are looking for wives and partners, not chastity arches. You can’t have this kind of thinking.”
Nan Fenghuang's words left Xie Lingqin completely bewildered.
this……
It's almost in line with modern thinking, okay? Has the folk customs of the Southern Qi really become this open?
“You are a princess. If they can appreciate you, it would be the icing on the cake for them. Why wouldn’t they be happy to do so?”
Xie Lingqin didn't listen carefully. Suddenly, something came to mind, and she looked at Nan Fenghuang, "By the way, when we first met, you extended your hand and said it was a courtesy from your Southern Qi to your friends, and that it was taught to you by the Southern Emperor?"
"Yes, our father is an extraordinary person. He always comes up with new and interesting things."
How novel is it?
"He can change the color of water, and he can do magic tricks..."
Xie Lingqin looked at Nan Fenghuang, and her certain idea became even more certain.
"Xiao Qin, I'm with you."
At that moment, Xu Yiran walked over quietly from behind and stood between Xie Lingqin and Nan Fenghuang without leaving a trace.
This action...
Nan Fenghuang could see it clearly, and Qingxia, who was standing to the side, could see it clearly as well. However, Xie Lingqin seemed not to notice anything, and instead smiled and nodded, "That's fine too."
