The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

"I can't accept this."

If it can be solved with money, she will accept it.

but……

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now," Ishihara Qing nodded lightly and changed the subject, "Then can Sister An Ning dismiss those six male favorites?"

"No," Xie An Ning refused without hesitation, "That was given by the imperial concubine, and I just need it."

After that, the hall fell silent.

Ishihara Qing's expression was stiff, he lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

He pondered the words "just what I need" over and over again, not knowing what he was thinking. When he raised his eyes again, his tone was still soft.

"Then if I come tomorrow, will Sister An Ning turn me away?"

Really good at negotiation.

Xie Anning, who had rejected people twice in a row, hesitated for a moment.

After just a moment, the young man over there spoke again.

He smiled and said, "Sis An Ning won't let me in through the main gate, so I'll just climb over the wall. It's not like I haven't climbed over it before anyway."

"How dignified!"

Xie An Ning frowned and angrily scolded: "I am a divorced woman returning home, and you climbed over my wall and were seen by others. Do you still want your official reputation?"

"How can it affect your reputation?" Ishihara said with a smile, "I'm not your brother, why do you think so?"

Seeing his reckless expression, Xie Anning felt a headache, "You and I are not blood relatives."

Ouch.

Ishihara Qing smiled lightly, "Look, you clearly know it."

"You know I'm no longer that ten-year-old kid who treated me as a fool no matter how tightly I clung to you. The age difference between us is no longer a problem. If we hang out a few more times, rumors will spread."

"An Ning," his eyes moved slightly, and he looked at her steadily, "Don't fool yourself. I can't be your brother. After all these years, you can't treat me like that eleven or twelve-year-old child anymore."

He's not even a distant relative, what a crap brother.

They are just men and women.

"If you really need a younger brother, I can be your younger brother," Ishihara Qing smiled and said, "But you have to allow your younger brother to miss you."

"???"

Xie Anning's lips opened slightly in surprise.

She is not some innocent little girl, she knows exactly what this means.

Apart from Wang Shaofu, this was the first time someone dared to say such 'flirtatious' words to her.

The abrupt words from the man he regarded as his younger brother made Xie An Ning stunned for a moment. Then, he felt embarrassed all over and his cheeks were burning hot.

Unspeakably awkward and embarrassed, she raised her hand, pointed at the young man opposite her, and tremblingly said, "You really are very sick!"

Peirong and the other two maids standing in the corner wished they could disappear right there.

Ishihara Qing looked at her finger, which was trembling, not sure whether it was out of shame or anger, and suddenly sighed softly and took a step forward.

He wanted to hold her hand, but after being avoided, he suppressed all his smiles and asked her, "Do you think I'm sick because I like a sister who is five years older than me?"

It is not a problem for a ten-year-old boy to like a fifteen-year-old girl. At most, it can be considered as early enlightenment.

It is even more wrong for a 27-year-old man to like a 32-year-old woman.

Xie Anning was speechless when asked.

As expected, those who can become civil servants are all eloquent and good at speaking. They are no longer the child who loves to wield swords and guns and is tongue-tied.

"I always knew what I wanted, and I never felt sick,"

Ishihara Qing said seriously, "Sister An Ning, you can use 'joking' to deny your promise to me in the past, but please face my feelings."

What brother? What serious illness?

That was disrespecting his feelings.

He spoke so seriously that Xie Anning couldn't even try to comfort herself by thinking that he was just playing a prank on her.

It's really complicated.

"I..." Her voice trembled slightly: "I just got divorced and returned home the night before last. Before that, I was already married."

She was a married woman and had just returned home two days ago.

……this!

Ishihara Qing said: "If you get married, I won't bother you, but if you get divorced, I can't help but take action."

"An Ning," he looked at her quietly, "You can accept those male favorites who serve others with their beauty, why can't you look at me?"

"...What I mean is," Xie Anning pursed her lips, avoiding his questioning, "You are still single and unmarried. Is it really because of me?"

"Yes!" Ishihara Qing said without hesitation, "I said, I know what I want."

This is the sister he has been fond of since he was young.

Because of his age, he was unable to stop her from getting married.

The beautiful dreams of youth should gradually disappear as we grow up.

But Ishihara Qing can't do that.

He has been stubborn since he was a child, just like he likes to practice martial arts. He is determined and insists on gritting his teeth even if he is beaten by his own father, let alone the girl he likes.

But he himself did not expect that he could persist for more than ten years.

Probably because they heard that she had hurt herself during childbirth and might have difficulty getting pregnant.

As the eldest son in the family and the most outstanding heir of this generation, Wang Shaofu must not be without offspring.

Ishihara Qing was worried about her, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel hopeful.

Sure enough, no matter how many books of sages one reads, one is still a despicable villain, a bug in the gutter.

He secretly hoped that she would have difficulty in having children and that she would not be able to survive in the Wang family.

This way, he still has a glimmer of hope.

After being exiled to Qinzhou for two years, Wang Shaofu took office in a neighboring county.

He heard that the couple built bridges and roads and prayed to gods and Buddhas in order to have children, but their wish was never fulfilled.

It is even more difficult to suppress greed.
