Chapter 111: Gentle Prime Minister, Tsundere Emperor
"Why are you here?" Lin Qian asked when she saw Wei Xiaoran and Mr. Huang.
"What? Can't I come?" Wei Xiaoran said in a sour tone.
Lin Qian didn't know what to say for a moment. Why did Wei Xiaoran seem a little strange today?
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Qian asked, and was about to step forward to take Wei Xiaoran's pulse.
Behind him, Mr. Huang suddenly blocked Lin Qian's hand and said with a smile, "No, he is in good health."
Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, took two steps back, looked at Wei Xiaoran and then at Mr. Huang, as if she suddenly understood something.
Wei Xiaoran is very tall. He is not much shorter than Lin Wu when standing in front of him. He is estimated to be about 1.85 meters tall. Due to years of martial arts training, he has a strong and upright body.
Young Master Huang is a little shorter than Wei Xiaoran, with a thinner build, and his face is not as tough as Wei Xiaoran's, but more gentle.
Looking at each other this way, the two of them are surprisingly well matched.
Lin Qian immediately imagined a 100,000-word novella in her mind, with a gentle prime minister as the top and a tsundere emperor as the bottom.
No wonder, no wonder the emperor goes out of the palace every day, and Wei Xiaoran accompanies him every day.
When Wei Xiaoran and Mr. Huang saw Lin Qian's sparkling eyes, they shuddered suddenly.
"Qianqian, what are you looking at?" Wei Xiaoran asked with a frown. Lin Qian's expression changed very quickly this time. Not only did she look at him, but she also looked at Young Master Huang from time to time. This was unbearable.
Lin Qian immediately came to her senses. The people in front of her were the emperor and the prime minister. What happened between them must be a secret and must not be leaked.
If the two of them find out that I already know, will they be silenced?
Lin Qian coughed lightly and said, "No, nothing. Oh, by the way, this is the disciple of my master's good friend, his name is Qu Lingxiao."
Wei Xiaoran glanced at Qu Lingxiao and nodded.
Qu Lingxiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Xiaoran, then a wicked smile appeared on his lips and he said, "Qianqian, I'm not going to live in his house. If you really don't have any rooms at home, I can live with you. My master said that he hopes we can be together."
Lin Qian turned around and glared at him: "You are talking nonsense, you will sleep on the curb today!"
"How could I be talking nonsense? When my master talked about our engagement, you and I clearly heard it. Shuo Shuo can testify to that."
This Qu Lingxiao, after all these years, is still so annoying, Lin Qian thought, wishing she could slap him in the face.
"What's the matter with the engagement?" Wei Xiaoran grabbed Lin Qian's wrist and asked.
Lin Qian looked at Mr. Huang beside him and found that Mr. Huang's face was very ugly. Afraid that he would misunderstand, she immediately pulled out her wrist and took a step back.
Seeing Lin Qian push him away and lean towards Qu Lingxiao, Wei Xiaoran's heart suddenly sank.
Lin Qian, who had come to her senses, felt that her movements were a bit too aggressive and immediately explained, "No, no, it was just a joke from the masters at the time. It doesn't count."
Qu Lingxiao said this just to disgust Wei Xiaoran. After all, marriage is a very important matter for a girl.
He said, "It's like this. I was just afraid that Qianqian wouldn't let me live at her house, so I said that on purpose. In fact, there was no engagement at all. I was just joking."
Meng Ziling and Mr. Huang watched the show with their arms crossed, and both looked at Wei Xiaoran at the same time.
Wei Xiaoran withdrew his hand, held it tightly behind his back, and hummed.
The scene suddenly froze.
After a while, Xu Jingcheng finally came out and ran over, breaking the deadlock.
There were two competitions today, and there would be a third competition in the afternoon. It was not convenient for the few of them to stand here all the time, so they had to move to the small teahouse from yesterday.
Qu Lingxiao and Wei Xiaoran sat on Lin Qian's left and right, while the other three were doing their own things.
Lin Qian felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't help but look at Xu Jingcheng and Meng Ziling for help.
Xu Jingcheng had just arrived and didn't know what was going on, so he didn't know how to save his master.
Meng Ziling couldn't stand it any longer and quickly said, "Why don't you guys move away? Junior Sister is a girl after all. If others see you like this, they'll gossip."
Lin Qian nodded quickly, cast a grateful look at Meng Ziling, and felt guilty for not rescuing Brother Ziling at the dinner table before.
Qu Lingxiao was just a jerk. He wanted to piss off Lin Qian and Wei Xiaoran, who was inexplicably hostile to him.
As soon as Meng Ziling spoke, he immediately ran to Xu Jingcheng and squeezed together with him.
Wei Xiaoran also slowly stood up and moved to the side of Mr. Huang.
The atmosphere froze again. This time, no one spoke, and everyone looked down at the teacup in front of them.
"Well, how about we go eat? I'm hungry, and I have a competition in the afternoon. You can't let me go on an empty stomach." Finally, Qu Lingxiao said while holding his stomach.
He suffered from hunger and cold along the way, and when he arrived in the capital, his pockets were emptied of money. He had not eaten yesterday and was now starving.
Lin Qian was just about to say yes when Wei Xiaoran stood up and waved in the direction of the carriage. Soon, the square table in the small teahouse was filled with food.
At a glance, all the dishes are Lin Qian's favorites.
"I've prepared it a long time ago, Qianqian. These are your favorite foods." Wei Xiaoran listened to Mr. Huang's lectures all day yesterday and knew that if he wanted to marry someone, he had to conquer her stomach first.
Lin Qian was also hungry. After thanking Wei Xiaoran, she started eating. She took the first chopstick and Qu Lingxiao followed suit.
Wei Xiaoran glared at him again.
Then Xu Jingcheng, Meng Ziling and Mr. Huang also started eating. Wei Xiaoran then looked at Lin Qian and picked up the chopsticks.
After the meal, Lin Qian and the others went back to Yaowang Temple to prepare for the third competition.
Qu Lingxiao was not full and continued to eat. He told people not to bother him and that he would be there soon.
While eating, Qu Lingxiao suddenly felt cold all over. He looked up and met Wei Xiaoran's deathly gaze.
"I warn you, no matter who you are, stay away from her."
Qu Lingxiao raised his eyebrows and swallowed the food in his mouth: "Why should I listen to you?"
Wei Xiaoran just looked at him coldly, and then said: "I think you are very clear about your master Qu Nan's affairs. If you don't want to become like him, you'd better do as I say."
Qu Lingxiao put down his chopsticks, looked straight at Wei Xiaoran, and then went downstairs.
"Lin Qian."
Lin Qian turned around to look at Qu Lingxiao: "What's wrong?"
Qu Lingxiao asked, "Who was that man just now?"
In fact, Meng Ziling also wanted to know. Yesterday, he heard Lin Qian say that Wei Xiaoran had found a confession, and he knew that Wei Xiaoran's identity must be extraordinary.
"Oh, he is Wei Xiaoran, the Prime Minister of the current dynasty."
Qu Lingxiao and Meng Ziling were stunned and looked at Wei Xiaoran behind them at the same time.
After being shocked, Qu Lingxiao immediately jumped away, wishing he could stay eight meters away from Lin Qian.
He must have been crazy just now, daring to provoke Wei Xiaoran. If he had known Wei Xiaoran's identity earlier, he would definitely not say a word.
Qu Lingxiao is not Qu Nan. He knows how to judge the situation much better than Qu Nan.
