After the concubine ran away with the baby, the abstinent prince went crazy

The little girl had just cried, and although her eyes were still a little red, her beautiful eyes were sparkling. Seeing the little girl burst into laughter, Chu Beiqing breathed a sigh of relief and his expression eased a little, "Of course, I am a man of my words..."

"Qingning is a mean person, the prince is a true gentleman," Yan Qingning said, with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes that seemed to have been washed by water, and said: "The prince has already told Qingning that Qingning is the prince's... "

She deliberately lengthened the sound vaguely.

For a moment, the air seemed to be filled with some ambiguous smell.

Chu Beiqing coughed lightly and clarified: "What I meant at that time was..."

Yan Qingning didn't wait for him to finish, and continued: "The prince also told me that if there is anything in the future, I should come to discuss it with the prince in advance, and the prince will protect me.

I will never forget your words, my Lord, and I will always keep them in my heart."

Humph, she just didn't believe that he, the great King Qing, would go back on his word.

“???” Chu Beiqing’s breath was choked.

He did say such words, but that was because he saw that the commotion was really out of control, so he went over and said that to her.

Unexpectedly, she used it cleverly here and really knew how to take advantage of every opportunity.

"You have a good memory." Chu Beiqing said this a little stiffly.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness." Yan Qingning did not feel guilty at all.

Chu Beiqing was so angry at her shamelessness that he laughed, "I just realized that you are not only eloquent but also good at climbing poles. You are really wasting your talent in front of me."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind!" Yan Qingning was touched, "I knew that Your Majesty was kind-hearted and compassionate, and he would definitely not watch me suffer.

The prince is indeed the protector of the Great Chu and the weak like us."

"Slippery and full of jokes." Chu Beiqing hit the nail on the head and couldn't help but narrow his eyes and look at her carefully.

Trying to read from her face what little trick she had just played on him.

Unfortunately, he didn't notice anything. He just saw that she was happy because he agreed.

He couldn't help but think to himself, what a sunny little girl she is, if given a little hope.

But why did he feel like he was deceived by this girl?

Suddenly, Chu Beiqing smiled mysteriously and said, "You want to use me to keep your money, that's not impossible..."

The man's smile was like the instant melting of ice and snow, and the return of spring to the earth. It was truly charming.

Yan Qingning was also distracted for a moment, then became alert. What did he mean?

When she came here, she had already thought that this man was difficult to use and that he might refuse.

Her intention was obvious in the first place, so it was understandable that Chu Beiqing refused. No one is a fool, so why should they be used?

Yan Qingning knew very well that if she didn't use this man, she would not be able to keep the five thousand taels of silver.

There's no way you can get her to spit out the meat once it's in her mouth.

She snorted in her heart, fortunately she was prepared.

Of course, she had thought of this when she was with Heiyan Xiwei.

Yan Xiwei suffered such a big loss this time, how could she let it go?

She estimated that Yan Xiwei would most likely not confront her directly after this time, because she wanted to maintain her dignity and reputation, and naturally could not be known as a narrow-minded person who bullied others.

Then Yan Xiwei might take advantage of her mother and her grandmother, the Grand Princess.

As I recall, the Grand Princess was extremely protective of her own people, and she was not as capable as Princess He'an and her daughter.

Chu Beiqing was wrong. Not only did she want to use him, she also wanted to cling to him and make him her life-saving talisman.

Then the Grand Princess couldn't do anything to her.

"Is there anything that the prince needs from me? No matter what you ask me to do, I will do it with pleasure and will not be afraid of going through fire and water, or even dying in pieces."

Chu Beiqing was almost amused by her straightforward and flattering behavior.

But he held back and said calmly: "You don't have to be torn to pieces, nor do you have to go through fire and water, but... you owe me a condition.

One day, if the king needs you, you must go all out to fulfill this condition of the king, how about that?"

Yan Qingning blinked, "That has to be within my ability."

"nature!"

Hearing this, Yan Qingning showed a genuine smile on her face, and knelt down and bowed, "One day, as long as the prince needs me, I will do my best to help you."

As soon as they left, Shu Hui turned on the worried old nanny mode around her master again, "My Lord, are you in love with Concubine Ning?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Beiqing was about to deal with some unfinished business. When he heard Shu Hui's words, he paused and raised his eyebrows slowly, "Which eye of yours saw that I like her?"

Shu Hui blurted out: "I saw it with both my eyes."

Chu Beiqing said coldly: "Then dig out both eyes. It's useless to keep them."

Shu Hui knew that his master was just talking casually, so he said, "Master, it's not that I am shortsighted, just look at the eight people in your backyard, from the princess to the concubines.

But none of them caught your eye, including the princess. Over such a long time, you have only been to the princess's courtyard a few times.

Even if the princess came here ten times, it would be good enough if you allowed her to enter this door five times.

As for that concubine Ning, you have been to her several times in the past few days. And every time concubine Ning comes, you allow her to come in. Isn't this favoritism? Even if the servant doesn't say it, others will have ideas..."

Chu Beiqing was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly, "Does this king have to live his life depending on their moods? This is a joke."

Without waiting for Shu Hui to reply, Chu Beiqing said indifferently: “I made several special exceptions for Concubine Ning only because I felt pity for her situation.

Have you seen anyone in the palace who is as pitiful as her? If it were anyone else, I would make an exception for her.

Besides, Concubine Ning doesn’t have that kind of intention towards me, and she knows her limits and when to advance and retreat, so I don’t need to be on guard against her.”

Shu replied: "..."

Listen, listen, the prince is defending Concubine Ning in every word, doesn't this mean he loves her?

So what does it mean to like someone?

Shu Hui opened and closed his mouth anxiously but couldn't say anything to refute.

He just felt that Yan Qingning was a fox spirit who had become a demon and had bewitched his wise and powerful prince.

Then, he thought, "Master, since you have a good impression of Concubine Ning, why don't you let Concubine Ning try? What if she is really capable and you stand up?"

There was a hint of coldness in Chu Beiqing's eyes, and he whispered softly: "If I really stand up, I'm afraid many people will be uneasy and scared..."

His voice was very low, and Shu Hui was far away, so he didn't hear clearly what his master said, and couldn't help asking: "Master, what did you say?"

Chu Beiqing raised his eyes slightly, "This king said that it is good now. This can make people calm down and concentrate, and have clear ears and eyes. It will give people a different kind of understanding, and they can also see many things that are usually invisible..."
