Normally, if someone broke into Ning Huaizhi's room, he would have woken up long ago. But today, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He practiced his kung fu for a while and drank a large jar of wine before finally drifting off to sleep.
Therefore, the little noise Qinglan made at this moment naturally had no effect on him.
Qinglan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Ning Huaizhi's sleeping face, her heart pounding. That year, she went to the frontier with her grandfather for training and saw so many generals and soldiers, but none of them caught her eye.
The only thing that attracted me to Ning Huaizhi was his appearance at first glance. After getting to know him, I discovered that Ning Huaizhi was a brave and resourceful man, a rare talent for military command.
In addition, General Sun also valued Ning Huaizhi highly and always praised Ning Huaizhi's merits in front of Princess Qinglan, because Princess Qinglan had fallen deeply in love at a young age.
When Ning Huaizhi rescued her from the enemy, she silently vowed in her heart that she would marry no one but Ning Huaizhi in this life.
What Princess Qinglan can't understand is that her brother Huaizhi would disregard his grandfather's instructions and sever ties with her for the sake of a village woman like Jiang Yuwei.
Qinglan grew increasingly angry as she thought about it, so she couldn't help but move closer to Ning Huaizhi's handsome face and gently kiss him on the cheek. This was Qinglan's first kiss, and she felt that only Ning Huaizhi deserved her first kiss.
At this moment, Qinglan felt her heart racing and her face flushed. Looking at Ning Huaizhi's tightly pursed red lips, her thoughts became increasingly wild.
A glint flashed in Qinglan's eyes. She then slowly took off her outer clothes, her shoes and socks, climbed onto Ning Huaizhi's bed, gently nestled in his arms, and covered herself with his blanket.
At this moment, Ning Huaizhi, still asleep, felt a heavy weight on his body. He vaguely smelled a uniquely feminine fragrance, frowned, and murmured:
"If it's not Yuwei's fragrance, whose is it?"
Upon hearing Ning Huaizhi's words, Qinglan stiffened. She hadn't expected that Ning Huaizhi would even dream about that village woman. Qinglan unconsciously clenched the quilt in her hands and leaned closer to Ning Huaizhi's embrace.
At this moment, Xia Yue hurriedly brought Ning Wan back to Jinglan Pavilion. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Yang Liu nervously guarding Ning Huaizhi's door.
Xia Yue's head suddenly went blank. She quickly put Ning Wan down and whispered to Si Xi, who was following behind her:
"Sixi, quickly go and call Madam back to the courtyard. Tell her that Princess Qinglan has arrived."
Although Sixi didn't know what had happened, he saw that Xia Yue's expression was off, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly ran out.
Xia Yue tightened her grip on Ning Wan's hand, swallowed hard, and walked up to Yang Liu, saying:
"Miss Yang Liu, why aren't you serving your master at the banquet? What are you doing in our courtyard?"
Seeing this, Yang Liu quickly stepped in front of Ning Huaizhi's doorway and said:
What are you doing back here?
Xia Yue couldn't help but sneer upon hearing this. This maid was indeed as shameless as her mistress.
"Miss Yangliu seems to have forgotten that this courtyard is the residence of our Madam and General Ning. We can manage our own courtyard without informing Miss Yangliu, right?"
Yang Liu felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, but still forced herself to stand in the doorway and said:
"You cannot enter this house!"
Xia Yue snorted coldly and reached out to push Yang Liu.
"Hmph, what a joke! Do you think I'd let you boss me around in my own courtyard? I advise Miss Yangliu to get out of the way. Our young lady needs to see the general right now, so don't be ungrateful!"
Qinglan, who was inside, naturally heard the commotion outside. She had come determined to find Ning Huaizhi today, and right now she desperately wanted everyone to see her lying in his bed. So she shouted at the top of her lungs:
"Yang Liu, let them in. Wan'er wants to find her father, we can't stop her."
Upon hearing her master speak, Yang Liu gave Xia Yue a forced smile and then slowly stepped aside, gesturing for Xia Yue to enter.
Xia Yue stood in front of the door, but hesitated. She was afraid that she would see something she shouldn't, which would hurt Ning Wan and embarrass the general.
After all, she didn't know the general very well, and Xia Yue couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't betray his wife. After all, none of the men Xia Yue had met were good, including her own father.
So Xia Yue cleared her throat and shouted loudly:
"General Ning, are you inside? Miss Wan'er couldn't stay at the banquet, so Madam ordered me to send her back to you first."
At this moment, even if Ning Huaizhi was a heavy sleeper, he was awakened by the noise outside. When he opened his eyes and saw Princess Qinglan lying in his arms, he was startled and jumped off the bed.
Fortunately, Ning Huaizhi fell asleep after drinking, without taking off his clothes. He stared intently at Qinglan, who was lying lazily on the bed, and asked:
"Qinglan, you, how did you get here!"
Ning Huaizhi looked around suspiciously, making sure this was his room, before turning to Princess Qinglan, who was slowly getting out of bed, and questioning her:
"Qinglan, you're lying! What on earth are you doing?! Don't you care about your reputation?"
Seeing that Qinglan wasn't even wearing an outer garment and looked disheveled, Ning Huaizhi quickly took a few steps back, turned his head to the side, and covered his face to avoid looking at her.
"Qinglan, hurry up and put your clothes on. Haven't I told you long ago that there's no future for us? Why are you still so persistent? How did you end up in my room!"
At this moment, Xia Yue, who was waiting outside, heard the sounds inside and naturally knew that the general must have been tricked by Princess Qinglan.
So he hurriedly pushed open the door and came in. He saw Princess Qinglan sitting half-sitting on General Ning's bed, her clothes disheveled. He frowned and said:
"Princess Qinglan, what are you doing? Your reputation is important. I advise you to quickly put on your clothes and leave with your maid!"
Princess Qinglan glared at Xia Yue and scolded:
"You, a mere maid, dare to instruct me on how to do things? Is this how Jiang Yuwei usually trains you all?"
Having said that, she showed no intention of getting up, but instead looked at Ning Huaizhi and said weakly:
"Brother Huaizhi, do you hate me that much? Why won't you even look at me? What were you doing when you were holding me and taking off my clothes? Are you acting like a gentleman now?"
Ning Huaizhi was startled by these words, his face flushed red as he angrily retorted:
"Don't talk nonsense. When did I take off your clothes? I just drank some wine and went to sleep alone. I didn't even know when you came into my room!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Qinglan took out a handkerchief and pressed it to the corner of her eyes, saying in a tearful voice:
"Brother Huaizhi, have you forgotten my grandfather's dying wish to tell you? Are you going to turn your back on us like this?"
