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

Qin Junyu:?

She looked so arrogant and confident that she was completely furious.

"Okay, okay, my bad."

You have to comfort your own princess yourself.

Qin Junyu looked around to see if there was anyone around, so he took her hand and said with red ears, "If I hold your hand, you won't be afraid."

Nian Susu's heart was beating like a drum, her palms were sweating, and she was so nervous that she didn't know how to react, so she just let him lead her forward.

Taking into consideration her heavy clothes, he took small steps and walked slowly. Everything around them was quiet except for the sound of the wind and the scent of flowers. The shadows of the two people were stretched very long on the cobblestone path.

"Why are you dressed so formally today?" Qin Junyu asked with a smile.

Nian Susu shrugged helplessly, "My mother said that this is my first time attending a palace banquet as the 'future Crown Princess', and if I dress too poorly, people will gossip about me. In order not to embarrass the Prime Minister's Mansion and His Highness, I dressed like this." She raised her arms, both sleeves were heavy.

Qin Junyu felt distressed, touched the gold and diamond crown on her head, and said to her gently: "Don't pay attention to what those people say, just be yourself. This heavy and cumbersome dress is uncomfortable to wear, change it later."

Nian Susu felt bloated in the heart. The words were pleasant to hear, but she did not bring extra clothes with her.

Generally, young ladies from wealthy families would bring a spare set of clothes when they go out in a carriage, just in case. Usually Zhihua would prepare it for her, but today it was Qingyu who came with her.

Zhihua reminded her, but she didn't take it to heart. Firstly, she felt it was unnecessary, and secondly, the clothes she was wearing were very troublesome to put on and take off. She thought that she would only stay in her seat for a few hours before returning home, so she didn't prepare anything.

Now that Qin Junyu said this, she didn't know how to respond and nodded perfunctorily. Anyway, he couldn't stare at her and force her to change clothes.

At this moment, almost everyone was serving in Qinghui Palace. They didn't meet any palace servants along the way, but they met Concubine Ning at a fork in the road.

It looked like Concubine Ning was going back to Qinghui Palace, which was exactly the opposite direction of theirs.

Concubine Ning had a vicious look in her eyes. She looked at them with a meaningful smile, as if to say "those who understand will understand". Her first glance fell on their tightly held hands.

Nian Susu seemed to be scalded and immediately hid his hands behind his back.

Qin Jun froze for a moment.

The three people looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.

Qin Junyu saw that the atmosphere was really awkward, so he made small talk: "Are you going back to Qinghui Palace, Concubine Ning?"

Concubine Ning still smiled meaningfully. She looked at Nian Susu, then at Qin Junyu, and said calmly, "Yes, I just drank a few more cups in the palace, and I felt dizzy, so I came out to get some fresh air. I'm afraid that if I delay too long, the emperor will worry, so I have to go back."

"Your Highness and Miss Nian, what are you doing..." She looked at their hands meaningfully.

Nian Susu was worried that Qin Junyu was talking nonsense, so she quickly explained, "I, like the queen, drank two extra glasses of wine. I was worried that I might offend the emperor, so I came out to get some fresh air to get rid of the alcohol."

"Then Your Highness..." Concubine Ning's smile deepened.

Qin Junyu: "Ahem... This King..."

He thought about it and found a very reasonable excuse: "Miss Nian is not familiar with the roads in the palace. I was worried that she would get lost. Seeing that she had not returned for a long time, I went to find her."

"Oh~" Concubine Ning nodded, but her eyes were strange.

"Then Your Highness, please hold Miss Nian's hand tightly. It's dark here. If one of us can't see clearly, we might fall down. That would be terrible."

Qin Junyu and Nian Susu exchanged glances, and both read confusion in each other's eyes.

What does Concubine Ning mean by saying this?

Concubine Ning thought that the two were shy or had concerns, so she quickly assured them, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

She sighed leisurely, "Young people should talk about love and enjoy the pleasures of life. Back then, when the emperor and I were in our twenties, the emperor often took me out of the palace at night to visit the night market and watch the lanterns. We held hands and kissed while we stood on the city wall and watched the lights of thousands of houses below. We were so happy."

Year Su Su:?

Qin Junyu:?

Nian Susu tugged at his sleeve and asked in a low voice, "What's this, Concubine Ning?"

Qin Junyu: "I don't know, it feels wrong."

When Concubine Ning saw them stunned, she instantly lost interest and waved her hand indifferently, "I was drunk and talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart."

But Nian Susu saw that she didn't look drunk, so in order to avoid the conversation, she smiled and replied: "I didn't expect that the emperor and Concubine Ning were so... so willful when they were young."

Concubine Ning's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had found a confidant. She took her hand and planned to talk about her glorious deeds when she was young.

It was hard for Nian Susu to refuse, so he could only accompany her silently.

A two-person group turned into a three-person group.

The hand being held changed from Qin Junyu to Concubine Ning, and Qin Junyu followed behind like a guard.

Concubine Ning took her hand and turned around, walking in the opposite direction of Qinghui Palace.

"Miss Nian, you don't know how happy I was before I married the emperor. My father was a military commander. Although he was not as powerful as General Xiao, he also made many military achievements. The emperor was still a prince at that time. We met at Mulan Paddock. He lost to me in horseback riding and archery..."

The more Nian Susu listened to the stories about Concubine Ning and the Emperor's love affair, the more interesting he found it, and his mood fluctuated with the development of the story.

Qin Junyu was even more shocked. He didn't expect that the serious, domineering, cold-blooded and ruthless father in his mind actually had such a... tender side.

His world collapsed...

The side hall of Qinghui Palace at this time.

Qingyu and Axuan both leaned on the window to listen to the noise inside.

"Prince, haven't you always wanted to marry me? Come, drink this glass of wine, and I will make your wish come true." It was a woman's voice.

Qingyu was shocked: "Why is it Miss Nian's voice?" But he clearly saw the second Miss Nian go in with his own eyes.

Ah Falcon shook his head, "It's not Miss Nian. She only imitated it about 70% of the time, but you can tell it by listening carefully."

Qingyu suddenly realized that Second Miss Nian had imitated Miss Nian's voice to deceive Prince Qing. No wonder there were no lights on in the hall, otherwise it would be useless once her appearance was seen.

"Really...really, Miss Nian? But, haven't you already made an engagement with your royal brother? How can you marry me?" Qin Fengtian still had some intelligence left at this time.

Nian Qiaoyue didn't know what she had done. Qin Fengtian said in panic, "Miss Nian! This! This! This is not good!"

The two people outside the window blushed and their heartbeats quickened when they heard this.

"Your Highness, you are the one I have always liked. I am willing to marry you. As long as we are married, the Emperor will definitely agree that we can be together."

Nian Qiaoyue took advantage of the fact that Qin Fengtian couldn't see clearly and hugged him around the waist, refusing to let go.
