Story of Yanxi Palace: Fu Ying's banner will never fall

Wei Yingning was suddenly at a loss, but she quickly calmed down, collected herself, and answered in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

“In reply to your Highness, there was a tray supporting the dragon robe and it was not directly touching the ground.

Moreover, the embroidery workshop had already covered it tightly with dustproof cloth, so it would not damage the dragon robe or make it dirty. "

Hong Zhou burst into laughter after hearing this. He had never met such a palace maid in the Forbidden City who was a bit reckless but extremely smart. He couldn't help but develop a strong interest in Wei Yingning.

"I didn't expect that you, a little palace maid, are so interesting and intelligent." Hong Zhou stared at Wei Yingning with his passionate peach blossom eyes.

Hearing Hong Zhou's praise, Wei Yingning felt even more worried and quickly replied: "Thank you for the compliment, Prince. I am just doing my duty. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

After saying that, she immediately turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Hong Zhou suddenly turned around, stretched out the folding fan in his hand, blocked Wei Yingning's way, making it impossible for her to escape.

Wei Yingning tried to step back a few steps, but Hong Zhou followed closely and pressed forward.

Seeing that she was about to be forced to the edge of the city wall with no way to retreat, Wei Yingning's heart beat more and more violently, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

In desperation, she had to raise her head, look directly into Hong Zhou's eyes, and speak with courage.

"Prince Heqin, please spare me. If I fail to deliver the dragon robe to the Yangxin Palace in time, I will be severely punished."

Looking at the face in front of him, which was as crystal clear as white jade and slightly blushed, Hong Zhou couldn't help but chuckle at the corners of his mouth.

"Haha, what an interesting little girl. Never mind, just go ahead and raise your head for me to see. Why are you so reserved and shy?

You know, there are countless women in this world who dream of being favored by this king, but this king may not even look at them! You... just be happy in secret. "

Hearing this, Wei Yingning tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, lowered her head and said softly: "Your servant...Your servant thanks the prince, and I will withdraw first."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left in a hurry, with hurried steps, as if she wanted to escape from here as quickly as possible.

However, just as she took a few steps, Hong Zhou's voice suddenly came from behind her: "Wait, what are you in such a hurry for?"

Wei Yingning paused, secretly groaning in her heart.

She stopped, turned around slowly, bowed her head and said, "I need to deliver the dragon robe as soon as possible. Is there anything else your Majesty wants?"

Hong Zhou looked at her with a smile on his face and asked, "I am curious about you. What is your name?"

At this moment, Wei Yingning felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

In this heavily guarded Forbidden City, she must always be respectful, obedient and cautious, as the slightest mistake could result in her death.

This kind of life brought her to the brink of collapse, as if she was going crazy.

At this moment, a man who looked like a guard ran over panting.

He smiled and shouted loudly: "Prince He, I finally found you! The emperor wants you to see him, please come and see him as soon as possible!"

"I know, I know. What is the matter that makes your Highness so hurried?" Hong Zhou waved his hand impatiently, signaling Qing Xi to leave first.

He was also thinking about asking what the palace maid's name was.

Wei Yingning lowered her head slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with fear, her delicate body trembling slightly, and she looked as pitiful as a frightened white rabbit.

Seeing this, Qingxi's heart softened and he thought to himself, "It must be that the prince is bored again and flirting with the palace maids. It's not easy to work in the palace. Why don't I help her?"

Thinking of this, Qingxi quickly reached out and grabbed Prince Heqin, pretending to be anxious and said: "Prince Heqin, the emperor sent a message saying that if you don't go over, he might be angry, you'd better go quickly."

Prince He was already in a bad mood, and being urged by Qingxi, he felt even more anxious and unbearable, but he couldn't get angry.

He could only turn around and say to Wei Yingning, "Hey! Don't leave yet. I will come back to find you as soon as I finish the things at hand."

After saying this, Prince He glared at Qingxi fiercely and left in anger.

Qingxi winked at Wei Yingning, indicating that she didn't need to worry and should leave as soon as possible.

When Prince Hong Zhou and bodyguard Qing Xi walked further and further away, Wei Yingning covered her chest as if relieved, exhaled a long breath, and calmed her nervousness a little.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Yingning did not dare to delay for even a moment and hurriedly picked up the dragon robe and sent it to the Yangxin Palace.

After completing the task, she hurried back to the embroidery workshop. She was still very nervous on the way, worried that she would meet Prince Hongzhou again.

Along the way, Wei Yingning thought to herself: "The prince is of noble status, so he cannot enter the harem without permission. As long as I can return to the embroidery workshop as soon as possible, there should be no problem."

Since that day, Wei Yingning occasionally ran into Qingxi while he was patrolling the palace, and she took the opportunity to thank him. As time went by, the two gradually became familiar with each other...

Gradually, the two of them fell in love.

As they spent time together day after day, subtle changes took place in their relationship.

At first, they only met occasionally and had simple conversations, but gradually, the two began to meet more frequently and the topics of their communication became more and more in-depth.

Every meeting makes them feel extremely happy. They share each other's joys and sorrows and listen to each other's inner voices.

The two shared the pain and helplessness in the Forbidden City. This tacit understanding and understanding brought their hearts closer and closer. Unknowingly, a special emotion quietly grew in their hearts.

As time goes by, this feeling becomes stronger.

They will think of each other unconsciously and look forward to the next meeting; they will be moved by each other's words or smile; they will silently pay attention to each other's every move and care about each other's feelings.

Just like that, after a few interactions, their relationship grew stronger day by day like a flower blooming in spring.

Guard Qingxi looked at the lovely Wei Yingning in front of him and mustered up the courage to say, "When you are old enough to leave the palace, I want to personally visit the elders of the Wei family and formally propose to them..."

Wei Yingning, who had been overly frightened by Prince Hong Zhou, heard these words, her cheeks flushed like the sunset, and her heart felt like a deer was beating fast.

She felt that Qingxi was so good to her, and his meticulous care made her feel extremely at ease.

At this moment, she has been completely immersed in the sweetness of love, and has completely forgotten that Qingxi may have another unknown side...

Wei Yingning lowered her head shyly and nodded slightly a few times to show her agreement.

Then she carefully took out an exquisite sachet from her arms, which was embroidered with beautiful patterns.

She blushed and said to Qingxi: "I don't have anything valuable to give you in this deep palace. This sachet was embroidered by me. It contains some medicinal herbs and flower petals that can clear your mind and eyes. I hope it can accompany you."

After saying that, she handed the sachet to Qingxi.

Qingxi took the sachet with great joy and examined it carefully.

He said to Wei Yingning gratefully, "Thank you, A-Man."

Then, he took out a silver hairpin from his sleeve and gently inserted it into Wei Yingning's black and shiny hair.

The silver hairpin sparkled brightly in the sunlight, contrasting with Wei Yingning's shy face, forming a beautiful and moving picture.
