Chapter 112 Reward, Cat
Yan Qingning bowed and saluted, "Hello..."
"Ning'er, come and sit down." Concubine Hui waved to her kindly.
Yan Qingning bowed and walked over.
Concubine Hui reached out and took her hand, asking her to sit next to her. "Look, isn't it beautiful?"
Yan Qingning lowered her eyes, reached out her hand and touched Mao'er's forehead, and said sincerely: "Very beautiful."
The cat thought she was playing with it, so it opened its paw to hug her hand and meowed again.
Concubine Hui smiled and raised her eyes and said, "It seems that it likes you too. It ignores other people's teasing. It shows that these little things are also picky..."
Yan Qingning thought that Concubine Hui was just talking casually, so she just listened to it and let it go.
Concubine Hui continued, "My sister-in-law came to the palace yesterday and gave me this cat. She said she wanted it to keep me company and entertain me..."
Yan Qingning didn't know what to say, so she just smiled.
"Ah, but my sister-in-law is confused. This palace seems to be quite big, but it can't even accommodate people, so how can it accommodate these cute and beautiful little things? The more beautiful things are, the more difficult it will be..."
Concubine Hui sighed, then shook her head and smiled bitterly. She placed the cat on Yan Qingning's lap and said, "Although I am not a good person, but...
But seeing how lively and cute this little thing is, I really can’t bear to see it turn into a lifeless corpse one day, so you can take it home and raise it..."
Yan Qingning's hand, which was stroking the cat's fur, froze after hearing Concubine Hui's words, and she immediately said, "My dear, I have never raised a cat, so I don't know how to raise one..."
She was worried that she wouldn't be able to take care of herself, and in her opinion there was no difference between the palace and the prince's mansion.
"I have never raised one before, but it should be easy to raise. Look how lively and active it is..."
Yan Qingning said hurriedly: "Since it is given to the queen to relieve her boredom, shouldn't it be..."
Concubine Hui waved her hands and said, "It's nothing, this little thing is full of energy, I don't have the energy to play with it.
It's the same whether it's people or these little things, just rent it when you're young and energetic... or, you actually don't like it?"
"No, it's so cute, I'm sure everyone will dislike it..."
"Then take it back later." After Concubine Hui finished speaking, she did not intend to give her another chance to refuse, but changed the subject and said, "You did a great job today."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind..." Yan Qingning said modestly.
Concubine Hui liked her modesty and humility. "Just now, I asked Bei Qing, and he has agreed to let you heal his leg. This is enough to prove that you are a calm and intelligent child. I should thank you for not being like..."
Concubine Hui paused as she spoke. Thinking of Yan Xiwei, she frowned slightly and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
"It would be great if Princess Qing was you, and I would be relieved of a lot of worries." Concubine Hui murmured softly.
"What did the queen say?"
Yan Qingning was sitting next to Concubine Hui. She had sharp ears and could still hear Concubine Hui's voice even though it was soft.
But she pretended not to hear.
If this Princess Qing was anyone else, she would say a good word for them.
However, this person is Yan Xiwei, and she doesn't want to force herself to say something against her will.
"Nothing," Concubine Hui did not intend to mention Yan Xiwei to spoil the fun.
She raised her hand and motioned to the aunt next to her, "Buqin, go get it."
Before Yan Qingning could figure out what Concubine Hui wanted to do, Aunt Buqin walked in with several palace maids.
Each of them held a piece of cloth and a brocade box in their hands.
Concubine Hui smiled and said, "These are given to you by me."
Yan Qingning was flattered and tried to refuse.
But Concubine Hui pointed at the shiny light blue gauze and said, "Look, this Lingyun gauze, this color, I think it suits you very well, and if it's made now, you can wear it in a few days.
This gauze dress is extremely flowing when worn, and when she walks the dress flutters as if a fairy has descended to the earth.
The most valuable thing about this Lingyunsha is that it can relieve heat and dissipate heat. It is a tribute from our vassal state, and we produce less than five pieces every year.
The Emperor gave it to me last summer, but I felt that it was a bit ostentatious for me to wear it outside at my age, so I kept it until now, and I have finally found an owner for it.
As for that piece of heavenly fragrant silk, the gold filigree flower and butterfly headpiece, and the pair of gold-encased jade bracelets, I think they are very suitable for your current status.
Don't refuse. I have wanted to give you these things for a long time, but I just didn't have the right opportunity. You, don't underestimate the position of a concubine. For you now, this position is very convenient for you. "
When Yan Qingning heard the last sentence, her heart moved.
So can I enter and leave the mansion?
If it is possible, then her trip today would be really worth it.
Let me ask you, who is trapped in a cage all day long?
Nothing can be done.
After leaving the palace, Yan Qingning was told by the book that she could ride in the same carriage with the prince back home with an expression that said "you are lucky, you got a bargain".
Yan Qingning just glanced at the book quietly, then got into the car holding the cat wrapped in her sleeve.
After getting in the car, I found Chu Beiqing sitting upright, and I didn't know whether he was resting or taking a nap.
Even when he closed his eyes to rest, his waist was straight, and his black hair was tied up with an ink-blue jade hairpin, making his hair look as if it was cut with a knife and his eyebrows as if they were painted in ink.
The pair of closed eyes were long and narrow, with the corners of the eyes slightly raised, and there was a bit of evil in the sharpness.
As the carriage swayed, the curtains on the windows rose and fell. In the flickering light, the man's eyelashes were thick and distinct, hanging neatly under his eyelids, making people want to touch them.
The man's facial features were extremely pleasing to the eye, his skin was fair and clean, his nose was as straight as a mountain ridge, and his lips were of moderate thickness and rosy red.
That deep, elegant and charming face impacted Yan Qingning's pupils at such a close distance that Yan Qingning's heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.
It also woke her up. She was staring at Chu Beiqing in a daze and became obsessed.
She was secretly alert, being blinded by lust is not a good thing. Although beauty is alluring, she cannot let herself fall for it.
She wanted to ask him about it, but after thinking for a moment, she still felt it was inappropriate.
Chu Beiqing usually didn't ask much about the people and things in the mansion. If he didn't pay much attention to her before, asking this question would make him pay attention to her, which would be a waste of time.
Yan Qingning stroked the cat's back quietly and looked around the carriage to divert her attention. Apart from being spacious, it did not have any noble or luxurious features that matched Chu Beiqing's status.
But upon closer inspection, you will find that every part and every object in this car is extraordinary.
Just when she was about to lift the curtain to look outside, unexpectedly, Chu Beiqing had already opened his narrow eyes.
The voice was a little hoarse, but calm and unperturbed: "What do you want to say?"
The man's eyes were cold, deep, and as dark as an abyss.
Yan Qingning was slightly surprised. How could he know what she wanted to ask with his eyes closed?
Then he felt a little guilty. He knew what she wanted to ask. Did she also notice that she was staring at him?
Yan Qingning's eyes flickered, and she said nonchalantly, "My Lord, who do you think wants to harm Princess Jia?"
