The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

"Is that Qingqing?"

How did Qingqing become like this? Shen Du was shocked.

There was no time to see clearly, and no way to stop Liu Zhi, who climbed up the wall with him, from seeing Qingyin. The two of them tacitly stopped the princes who were climbing up the wall quickly behind them.

"Be careful, Prince. There are some spider webs nearby."

"Oh." The princes didn't think much about it and waited for Shen Du and Liu Zhi to pretend to wave their hands to remove the spider webs.

The two people's actions subtly blocked the princes' view of Qingyin.

The only exception was the prince who was the farthest away from them, but he came up last, and they were not sure whether the prince had seen Qingyin or not.

The two of them observed silently for a while, and when they couldn't see any change in the prince's expression, they withdrew their gaze.

After being stopped by Shen Du and Liu Zhi, the princes came down again. Qing Yin and the maids had already disappeared.

After several princes jumped off the wall, they saw a cute red panda drinking water by the stream.

"No wonder he came here. He was thirsty and knew there was water here, so he sneaked over here."

The fifth prince picked up the red panda by the stream, lifted it by the scruff of its neck, and looked around. "This is the little iron-eating beast. It's black and white, like a kitten. Will it grow as big as its mother in the future?"

The fifth prince exclaimed in amazement.

The prince hid the shock in his eyes and said with a normal smile, "Aren't all animals this small when they are young? Xiaowu was also that small before, and he's not that tall now."

"Hehe." The fifth prince touched his head.

"This black eye is pretty cute. It's better looking than the bigger one."

"Ah."

……

On the way back with the little panda in their arms, Shen Du and Liu Zhi spoke much less.

While the Crown Prince concealed the deep thought in his eyes and chatted with the prince next to him, he glanced at the two silent people.

The prince's gaze was very obscure and the two men did not notice it.

On the way back, the prince got into the carriage on the pretext of being tired.

He was in poor health, so the princes and his companions did not suspect anything.

In the carriage, the prince leaned against the window. He had a slender figure, handsome face, fair complexion and red lips, and a faint air of sickness, but he still did not look fragile, but rather noble.

The prince looked at his personal eunuch, Chen Fusheng, who was massaging his legs, and suddenly asked calmly, "Chen Fusheng, do you think there are women in the world so beautiful that you fall in love with them at first sight?"

Chen Fusheng was stunned, not knowing why the prince suddenly asked this. The prince had met a beautiful woman he liked. From whose family was she that the prince liked her so much? He had always been by the prince's side, so how could he not know?

The prince knocked lightly on the door frame next to the carriage.

The crisp knocking sound woke up the stunned Chen Fusheng, and his body went cold.

Although the prince's action did not mean that he was in a bad mood, it was not a good mood either.

Chen Fusheng was so distracted when the Crown Prince questioned him that he broke out in a cold sweat. He replied timidly, "Your Highness, although I haven't met a beautiful woman who makes you fall in love at first sight, I did see the late Emperor's Concubine Dong when I was young. Her beauty was so stunning that I was amazed by her beauty. I really can't imagine there is a woman in the world more beautiful than Concubine Dong."

The prince frowned.

He had seen Concubine Dong when he was young, but compared to the woman he had just caught a glimpse of, she was like mud on the ground, a world of difference.

Although he couldn't see her face clearly, she was already the most moving and beautiful woman he had ever seen in the world.

The prince clenched the ring on his hand. His fifth brother, Shen Du, Liu Zhi, and the maid beside the woman seemed to be holding a little girl.

A vaguely familiar face appeared in his mind.

Song Qingqing.

It can't be her!

He had seen Miss Song who was running after Liu Zhi. Her facial features were bright and tender. Although pretty, they could definitely not be called stunningly beautiful.

The prince frowned. If it wasn't Song Qingqing, who could that woman be?

At this moment, the prince had not yet thought about the great beauty that girls would become when they grow up.

So much so that when he saw Shen Du's familiar and beautiful wife, he couldn't help but vomit blood in anger.

—

As Qingyin and his group hurried back, they happened to meet Song Yuebai who came with snacks and books.

"elder sister."

"Yuebai."

Song Yuebai keenly noticed that her sister was not wearing a veil. Given her sister's cautious personality, and the many people in the village, she must have worn a veil.

"Sister, your veil?"

"It's a long story, let's go back first."

Qingyin confirmed her elder brother's guess and prepared to go back first.

Song Yuebai stopped her, took off his coat, and handed it to Qingyin: "Sister, try to put on my clothes first."

Qingyin understood and didn't think much of it. She just put on her brother's coat, covering her face tightly, and continued walking.

—

On the other side, when they returned to the capital, Shen Du and Liu Zhi silently fell to the end of the team.

Shen Du approached Liu Zhi and asked in a low voice with an undoubted tone: "That's Qingqing, right?"

Liu Zhi tightened his grip on the horse's reins.

Just like Shen Du recognized Qing Yin at a glance, how could he not recognize her? What's more, the familiar little girl next to him was his daughter.

Liu Zhi said stiffly: "So what if it is so, she is someone else's wife."

"Liu Zhi, Master Liu, you don't think you are still the elegant husband that Qingqing loves, do you? You and Qingqing have already divorced. Even if you want to get back together, it is absolutely impossible for you and Qingqing."

Shen Du said sarcastically.

Liu Zhi was silent for a while, and only heard himself say bitterly: "We have a daughter."

Shen Du answered him with a nonchalant snort.

"Ah."

Liu Zhi didn't know how he got back to the Liu Mansion. When he returned to the Liu family, he happened to meet Su Fangying who came to the Liu family to please Old Madam Liu.

Su Fangying served beside Old Madam Liu, using the skills from her previous life to please her and making her laugh from time to time.

Old Madam Liu looked at Su Fangying, who always went along with her, with satisfaction. She held her hand and praised her, "Oh, you are such a virtuous girl. You even embroidered a Buddhist scripture for me."

"Hey, unlike our original Zhier, who came here for four years and didn't bother to send me off."

In fact, the original body liked Liu Zhi, and for Liu Zhi's sake, he naturally loved her as well, and gave many of the precious jewelry in his home to Old Madam Liu.

But those gifts, under the jealous slander of Old Lady Liu and the maidservants, became Qingyin's carelessness and perfunctoriness.

In fact, none of Qingyin’s precious treasures is less valuable than the ordinary embroidery given by Su Fangying.

Su Fangying smiled shyly and blinked: "Sister Song's intentions were good, but she was careless and forgot to accompany the old lady. The old lady may have misunderstood."
