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

She was surprised to find that the man in front of her was a third-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice.

He was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who was not even thirty years old.

Your Majesty is a wise ruler who appoints people based on their merits. There are many talented people hidden under the emperor's feet. If you want to stand out, how can you rise steadily without talents far exceeding those of your colleagues and without keen insight?

When Xie An Ning was feeling goosebumps all over, Ishihara Qing, who had been staring at her for a long time, seemed to have finally confirmed something.

A big smile broke out on that handsome face, and he blinked and said, "An Ning, why do I feel that you like me a little bit?"

He smiled comfortably, and his already ruffian-like facial features looked a bit unserious. He just looked at her deeply with a smile on his face.

"It's my fault," he said with annoyance. "I always wanted to perform well in front of you, to let you know that I'm not bad in any way. I was too competitive and made my sister angry."

Although this was his first time pursuing a girl, Ishihara Qing had some experience in this due to his many years of secret crush, the advice from the imperial concubine, and the results of the past few days of practice.

He holds and coaxes her tenderly and attentively, and it is best to drown his beloved woman in his gentle arms, without thinking of anything else.

For his sister An Ning, who is strong-willed and as cold as the moon, he would shamelessly stick to her.

There can't be any gap left, and you have to use all means to squeeze into her world, constantly appear in front of her eyes, and finally enter her heart.

Since he wanted to impress her, he had to show his excellence.

However, I didn't expect to see her upset because of losing a few games of chess.

Xie Anning himself didn't expect this.

After all, she is indeed someone who can afford to lose.

In the past, when she went out to a banquet, whether it was a game of pitching pots or a competition of polo, she would often gamble real money with the ladies she was close to. No matter how big the amount was, she never took it to heart.

I have also lost a lot of chess games.

But she has never been able to 'afford to lose'.

And now, it seemed as if she subconsciously thought that no matter how good this person was at chess, he should still give her some leeway.

How could such a thought come to mind?

Also, what does 'a little like me' mean?

Xie Anning's mind went blank. He wanted to retort, but the force on his wrist tightened and he was pulled into a broad embrace.

"You like me, right?"

After all, she had almost become a military officer. Ishihara Qing stood up swiftly, one hand around her waist, holding her against the wall to prevent her from bumping her head, and the other hand carefully protecting the back of her head. He leaned forward and looked at her deeply, and said in a hoarse voice, "Sister, don't you want to admit it?"

Despite the difference in height and body shape, Xie Anning was completely enveloped in his arms and surrounded by his breath.

She subconsciously held her breath. Before she could say anything, Ishihara Kyo leaned in closer and rested his forehead against hers. "The day after tomorrow, the horse-frightening case will be tried. His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine will be there in person. Given your Majesty's concern for you, I think you'll be able to leave here on the day of the trial."

As he spoke, his eyes revealed a bit of grievance again, "By then, will I still be able to see you every day?"

We have experienced the days of facing each other day and night.

Going back to the previous treatment where one had to report to the servants before entering the Xie Mansion, the huge sense of gap came over him before it even started.

especially…

Thinking of the news he received this morning, a hint of obscurity flashed in Ishihara Qing's eyes.

If possible, he wished they could stay in this courtyard forever.
