After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

The two reached an agreement on this.

Nian Qiaoyue was led by Qin Zehai's guards and left through the back door. Before he left, she said something that made her very confused.

Qin Zehai glanced at her up and down, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was disgusted and annoyed. There was a very complicated emotion in his eyes that she could not understand.

He said, "You are not allowed to wear this kind of clothes when you see me again."

He still felt that was not enough, so he added, "No, you are not allowed to wear any pink clothes."

Nian Qiaoyue was puzzled, but when she thought about what he said not to come to Prince Ren's palace unless it was an extremely urgent matter, and she thought that they would not have many opportunities to meet in the future, she nodded and agreed.

After coming out, she kept thinking about this question. Does Qin Zehai have any objection to pink clothes? If he really hates pink clothes, why did he stare at her for so long when she came in? At that time, there was no disgust on his face. Instead... it seemed like he was recalling some beautiful past events.

"Miss Nian Er, if you need to send a letter in the future, just send someone to this door, and go to the right along the wall for a few dozen squares." The guard raised the scabbard and pointed in the general direction, "That square is loose, take out the stone bricks and put the letter in."

After saying that, the guard walked away with a cold face, not taking her seriously.

Nian Qiaoyue curled her lips and counted ten squares along the wall as he said. The stone brick at the bottom could actually be taken out, because the debris nearby was almost half the height of a calf, and it could not be found without pulling it away.

She kept it in mind and hurried back to the prime minister's residence, planning how to implement the plan.

A few days later, she got her chance.

Nian Susu was going to visit the patient at Li's residence. Nian Qiaoyue seized the opportunity to stop her at the gate of the residence and pestered her to take her with her.

Nian Susu was definitely unwilling, but Nian Qiaoyue stuck to her like a dog-skin plaster and followed her all the way to the street. Nian Susu was really tired of competing with her, so she just let her follow her. After all, she was under her nose, so she didn't dare to do anything bad even if she had ten guts.

The two of them went to Li's house together.

The guard at the door was still the same one who stopped Qin Junyu that day. When he saw Nian Susu, he was respectful, smiled flatteringly, and cautiously invited the person in.

Nian Susu wondered if Qin Junyu and Li Zhiyi had said something, so that everyone they met along the way stopped and lowered their eyes and eyebrows and said, "Miss Nian."

She felt a little uncomfortable and quickened her pace to meet Li Yaoyuan.

Nian Qiaoyue had to jog behind her to catch up with her.

Wan Tao had just delivered the medicine and came out. She saluted to Nian Susu and glanced at Nian Qiaoyue cautiously. In her impression, the second young lady of the Nian family was not a kind person, so there was vigilance and precaution in her eyes.

Nian Qiaoyue felt unhappy being looked at in such a way by a little maid, and glared at Wan Tao.

Wan Tao lowered her head, said hello to her classmate Su Su, and left the yard.

The two entered the house.

Li Yaoyuan was half leaning, with half of her arms hanging down, staring blankly at one place. There was a small table beside the bed, which was used to store medicine.

The medicine that Wantao had just brought in was still there, untouched.

"Zhizhi, what's wrong with you?" Nian Sususu sat on the edge of the bed, put her arms back into the quilt, and pulled the quilt up.

Nian Qiaoyue and Li Yaoyuan were not familiar with each other, and they had a little awkward relationship at Ganlin Temple, so it was not appropriate to show too much intimacy at that time, so she stood aside.

Nian Susu treated her as a transparent person, and she didn't put herself in any important position, and they reached a delicate balance.

Li Yaoyuan's eyes flickered, he looked up at her, and said dully, "Much better."

She held Nian Susu's hand and said calmly, "Wan Tao told me everything that happened that day. Ling Ling, thank you for saving me. As for my father... I don't blame her, and you shouldn't offend him or argue with him because of me. It's not worth it."

Nian Susu felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't bear to hear her say that.

She was not a person who belittled herself. On the contrary, she was self-consistent and could accept her own shortcomings and weaknesses.

Now that such self-deprecating words came out of her mouth, Nian Susu always felt a sense of unreality.

Nian Qiaoyue curled the corners of her mouth coldly, full of disdain.

"Zhizhi, don't think like that." Nian Susu said angrily.

Li Yaoyuan smiled bitterly, "Okay."

The two of them chatted casually, tacitly not mentioning Nian Qiao Yue, and she just stood there.

Finally, she could not hold it in any longer and took the initiative to speak: "I heard that Miss Li likes reading. I got some interesting and novel booklets a few days ago. Why don't I bring them to Miss Li someday to help her pass the time?" She saw the opportunity and interrupted the two of them.

Nian Susu was sitting with his back to Nian Qiaoyue, and his face immediately fell.

Since she had spoken, Li Yaoyuan couldn't just ignore it, so she could only politely refuse: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Nian, but I don't like reading storybooks, so I'm afraid I can't enjoy it."

The refusal was too blunt, and all the words that Nian Qiaoyue had prepared were choked in her throat.

Li Yaoyuan didn't even want to live now, let alone consider other people's feelings. She didn't care whether Nian Qiaoyue felt embarrassed or awkward after hearing her words. She turned around and talked to Nian Susu again.

Nian Qiaoyue remembered the task Qin Zehai had assigned her, and interrupted their conversation.

"Ms. Li, you will be married to the Xiao family in a dozen days. Although you are a concubine, it is still a happy event. Why is there no arrangement for the wedding in your house?"

Which pot does not open which pot.

Nian Susu’s face immediately turned dark.

Li Yaoyuan was stunned, a hint of panic flashed across her eyes, then she lowered her eyes to hide her emotions, but her hand tightly grasping the corner of the quilt had already betrayed her.

Nian Qiaoyue forced a smile, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? Why does Miss Li look like this?"

"Mr. Xiao is a handsome man with a distinguished family background. He is young and promising. Even if he becomes a concubine, it is a blessing that many women cannot ask for. Miss Li is really blessed."

Li Yaoyuan's face turned pale, and even though she tried hard to suppress her emotions, she could hardly control her trembling hands.

Nian Susu couldn't bear it any longer, so he stood up, turned around, and slapped Nian Qiaoyue so hard that she fell to the side.

“Ah!” Nian Qiaoyue staggered, holding onto the bed frame to steady herself, and with her other hand she covered her burning right face, looking at her with tears in her eyes, “Sister… why did you hit me?”

Nian Susu was furious: "I'm going to hit you. This slap is just a lesson. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart."

Nian Qiaoyue shrank her neck in fear, her eyes trembling.

"If you think what I said is wrong, just correct me. Why do you have to hit me..."

Nian Qiaoyue sobbed and shed a lot of tears, "I am really happy for Miss Li. I don't know why Miss Li wanted to commit suicide because of this. This is obviously a good thing."

Nian Susu was speechless: "Good thing? Do you want this good thing?"

"If you want to be a concubine so much, I will propose it to my father tomorrow and ask him to find a good marriage for you." She threatened with gritted teeth.
