C23 Have Pity on That Third Princess of Yours
Nian Qingci followed the direction of Side Concubine Wan's voice and raised her head slightly. She intentionally stared at her as she said, "Side Concubine Wan rushed to open her mouth in front of the prince. You have quite the dignity."
"Ah!" The evening sky was a bit dark, and Side Concubine Wan hadn't expected Nian Qingci to suddenly look up.
She was shocked when she saw her face.
"You, why didn't you bring anything on your face? Who are you trying to scare?"
Nian Qingci had an innocent look on her face. "The Prince asked me to come over for dinner. If I had something on my face, how would I eat it? Your Highness, what do you think? "
Si Junling's gaze swept across Nian Qingci's face calmly as he said coldly, "Stand up."
"Thank you, Prince." Nian Qingci smiled faintly.
Side Concubine Wan, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but shiver.
With her noble appearance, she might as well not laugh.
Nian Qingci walked directly to the seat beside Si Junling and sat down.
That position belonged solely to Third Princess.
Side Concubine Wan, who was standing beside him, was so angry that her teeth were itching.
After dinner, Si Junling returned to his study, followed by Nian Qingci.
He followed him into the study.
With a flip of his robe, he kneeled in front of Si Junling.
Si Junling frowned slightly, "What's the matter?" She seemed to have acquiesced in her actions of barging into the study room.
Nian Qingci pinched herself and forced out a few tears.
"I beg Your Highness, in the future, this Prince's Mansion's dinner will allow me to stay alone in the side courtyard. I am not in the right place to appear in public with all these people, I hope that Your Highness will grant me your permission. "
Si Junling's gaze was heavy as he stared at Nian Qingci's tears.
There was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Si Junling hid his emotions very well, "Yes."
He wanted to see if staying alone in the side courtyard was really because of that face?
Or was it more convenient to contact the Crown Prince in secret?
Agree so readily?
Nian Qingci had a moment of doubt, but she was still overjoyed. She kowtowed heavily. "Thank you for your grace, Your Highness."
It would be best if Si Junling continued to ignore her.
and allowed her to fend for herself within the Third Prince's Mansion.
Then she would have more opportunities and time!
After Nian Qingci left the study room, Tang Jinyi slowly jumped off the beam.
Looking at Nian Qingci's back, he said with a regretful tone, "Tsk tsk, what a pity. If it wasn't for your face being ruined, you, Third Princess, would truly be an unparalleled beauty."
Si Junling didn't even bother to raise his eyes as he focused on what he was doing.
Tang Jinyi casually scooped a cup of tea in front of Si Junling and drank it, then raised his eyebrows and said, "What, you haven't tested it out enough for last night's wedding night, do you still want to try again?"
He had known Si Junling for many years.
Just based on his thoughts, he didn't even need to say anything to be able to guess most of it.
"Be careful." Si Junling said two words directly to his face.
Tang Jinyi clicked his tongue.
He had truly never seen someone send assassins after him on his wedding day.
However …
"Junling, your own people can actually injure you. Your martial arts has regressed a lot."
"It's more realistic this way." Si Junling's expression did not change.
Tang Jinyi: "..."
Could it be that these injuries were all calculated?
"Hehe, I feel that I'm more sympathetic towards the assassin from last night."
The Shadow Guard under Si Junling's command were all like Ying Feng, they were all stubborn.
Even though it was just a play last night, Si Junling had really died.
As the Shadow Guard, he had actually injured his master …
"I feel even more sorry for that Third Princess of yours!"
After being schemed against by him, he was still foolishly hiding in the dark.
[I don't care whether she is the crown prince's spy or not. It's all … pathetic enough …]
