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

Just like that, with Wei Yingluo chattering away and Wei Yingning nodding in agreement, the two of them arrived at the guard office.

Wei Yingning looked around and made sure that there was no one else around. Then she lowered her voice and called out to a certain place, "Qi Jiaqingxi!"

Hearing someone calling his name, Qi Jiaqingxi immediately walked out from the side.

As soon as he saw Wei Yingning, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face, and he walked quickly towards Wei Yingning.

He asked with concern: "Aman, why did you come here suddenly? Hey, who is this..." Qi Jiaqingxi's gaze fell on Wei Yingluo beside Wei Yingning, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Wei Yingning lowered her head shyly and said softly to Qi Jiaqingxi: "Qingxi...Guard, this is my sister Wei Yingluo."

There was a hint of nervousness in her tone. After all, she was bringing her family to meet the person she liked, so it was inevitable that she would feel a little embarrassed.

"It turns out to be your sister. It's a pleasure to meet you." Qi Jiaqingxi smiled and nodded to Wei Yingluo as a greeting.

Then, he turned to look at Wei Yingning and continued, "Ah Man, is there something you suddenly came to see me about today?"

"Hmm..." Wei Yingning hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to speak.

"Guard Qingxi, actually I came here today to tell you something. I will be leaving the palace in more than half a year..." When she said this, her voice unconsciously lowered, but her eyes were full of anticipation and anxiety.

Wei Yingluo knew that her sister couldn't say it, so she spoke frankly for her.

"Hello, Guard Qi Jia. I won't say polite words. I came here just to tell you that my sister will be out of the palace in more than half a year. If you really like her, you should wait until she leaves the palace and go to her openly instead of having private contact in the palace, which is against the palace rules!"

Wei Yingluo's eyes were as sharp as swords as she stared at Qi Jiaqingxi closely. Her tone was extremely firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Such a powerful aura made Qi Jiaqingxi stunned, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

Seeing that Qi Jiaqingxi had no reaction and seemed irresponsible, Wei Yingluo continued to speak bluntly.

“For guards like you, private transactions may not be a big deal, but for us palace maids, this is a big deal that will cause others to slander our innocence.

Therefore, please, Guard Qijia, do not bother my sister again in the future. Yingluo would like to thank you very much."

After saying this, Wei Yingluo bowed slightly. Although her words were respectful, her tone was unusually cold, revealing a kind of majesty that only people in high positions could have, which made people feel submissive upon hearing it.

"Okay, okay, sister, don't worry. When Ah-Man reaches the age to leave the palace, I will go to the Wei Mansion in person to propose marriage, and from now on I will never bother her again in the Forbidden City."

Qi Jiaqingxi agreed without hesitation, still with a bright smile on his face, but when his eyes turned to Wei Yingning, he revealed a hint of reluctance.

"That's great." Wei Yingluo nodded with a smile, but her smile did not reach her eyes. Instead, she revealed a bit of dissatisfaction and indifference.

Wei Yingning looked at Qi Jiaqingxi's expression and couldn't help but lower her head, feeling a little guilty.

However, after careful consideration along the way, she felt that what Yingluo said made sense, after all, there was still a long way to go.

So she reached out her hand, carefully took out the pearl hairpin from her sleeve pocket, and gently handed it to Qi Jiaqingxi.

"Guard Qingxi, I'll return this hairpin to you. It is a taboo to pass items privately in the palace, and I don't want it to affect your career development. If you are really interested in me, I will wait for you."

Wei Yingning's eyes were slightly red, tears welled up in them, and she stuffed the pearl hairpin into Qi Jiaqingxi's hand with full of affection.

Qi Jiaqingxi couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly tried to put the pearl hairpin back into Wei Yingning's hand, and said quickly.

"No need. This hairpin was originally a gift for you. How can I take it back so easily? Please accept it as a souvenir between us. Although the situation has changed now, my feelings for you will never change. Believe me."

Qi Jiaqingxi hurriedly tried to put the pearl hairpin back into Wei Yingning's hand. He held Wei Yingning's hand tightly, his eyes full of determination and sincerity.

However, Wei Yingning hesitated and did not take the pearl hairpin.

"Aman, there is really no need to do this. I will definitely come to find you after you leave the palace. Since we can't meet now, you can just keep it as a reminder."

His expression was extremely sincere. If Wei Yingluo didn't know what happened next, she might have been moved.

Wei Yingning couldn't help feeling guilty and reluctant to let go, so she wanted to reach out and take the pearl hairpin.

However, Wei Yingluo quickly stopped Wei Yingning's hand and stepped forward.

She stuffed the pearl hairpin into Qi Jiaqingxi's hand again and refused coldly.

"Guard Qi Jia, there is no need to rush. This pearl hairpin is from outside the palace. If it is discovered, it will be a serious crime. So, you should take it back first."

Qi Jiaqingxi sighed helplessly: "Okay, in that case, I will keep it for Aman for the time being."

Seeing Wei Yingluo's firm attitude, Wei Yingning also listened to her sister.

Qi Jiaqingxi planned to leave first. He bowed to the two of them, with a trace of sadness on his face: "Aman, Miss Yingluo, if there is nothing else, then I will go back to my duty first."

"Guard Qi Jia, please wait a moment. It seems that you haven't returned the purse my sister gave you." Wei Yingluo's tone was still firm and decisive, and there was no room for doubt.

Qi Jiaqingxi turned around with a slight anger on his face. He clenched his fists tightly as if he wanted to crush them.

Then he reluctantly took off the purse hanging on his belt.

When he handed it to Wei Yingluo, his eyes turned slightly red, and his voice was gnashed with teeth: "Is this okay?"

"That would be great. Thank you for Guard Qi Jia's understanding. If you really want to, how about waiting another half a year?"

Wei Yingluo sneered inwardly. Deep in her heart, she was filled with resentment towards the weak and incompetent Qi Jiaqingxi.

Since he loved his sister, why couldn't he protect her in his previous life? And he disappeared without a trace when his sister got into trouble? Such a man is not worthy of being his brother-in-law.

However, now that I think about it, the person who had always been so affectionate to my sister in my previous life should be the young master of the Zhou family next door to the Wei Mansion...

It seemed that because his sister never married in her life, when something happened to her, he even wanted to hold a ghost marriage with her to prove her innocence.

but......
