"Second sister-in-law is truly an interesting person. She kills people without blinking an eye. She is truly ruthless. Yet, she treats a maid like a sister. Even Second Senior Brother is completely bewitched by her. Do you think she is truly not human..."

Xuan Qingshan spoke softly, but received no response for a long time.

When I looked up, I saw that guy was holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and staring at Nangong Qing and Tong'er with interest.

"One is as charming and lively as a deer in the forest, and the other is as innocent as a blooming peach blossom. If I were Second Senior Brother, I would make Tong'er my concubine and enjoy the happiness of having two wives..."

Xuan Qingshan rolled his eyes at him. According to his second senior brother, his second sister-in-law helped with the treatment purely to make money, and he married to silence the people of the world. He would be divorcing Nangong Qing soon, so how could he marry Tong'er as a concubine?

"I don't think so... How about we make a bet? If Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law can divorce successfully, I will dress up as a woman once. If they don't divorce, you will dress up as a woman once..."

"make a deal!"

Nangong Qing, who was happily eating egg cake with Tong'er, finished a large plate of egg cake snacks and felt full of energy.

In this world, love and food are the only things that cannot be wasted!

"Tong'er, after you and the prince divorce, why don't I help you open a pastry shop? Tong'er, you can be the shopkeeper yourself, find a few old ladies to work, and I'll teach you how to manage the accounts. All you have to do is wait for the money to come in, and life will be easy and comfortable..."

After eating and drinking her fill, Nangong Qing asked Tong'er to sit next to her and taught her how to write. She smiled and said to Tong'er.

Tong'er was startled, and a look of sadness immediately appeared on her fair and delicate face, with worry between her brows.

"Princess, please forgive Tong'er for being too talkative. Tong'er, Tong'er wants the princess and the prince to live in harmony..."

Seeing Tong'er's worried and sad look, Nangong Qing smiled helplessly. The little girl was quite worrying.

"This marriage involves too many things. The prince married me unwillingly. If I hadn't been of even a little use to him, why would he have spared my life... Forget it. Life in the palace is too restrictive. I'd rather return to Ruyi Garden and stay with my mother..."

"Mother and Xin'er are weak, and it's time for me to go back and help mother..."

Nangong Qing raised her hand and gently pinched Tong'er's face twice. She was really reluctant to leave such a beautiful and capable Tong'er. But giving her freedom and letting her have her own life was the best arrangement for her.

"Tong'er will not leave the princess. When the princess is in the palace, Tong'er will always serve her. When the princess returns to be with the lady, Tong'er will follow her all the way."

Tong'er raised her big watery eyes and looked sideways at Nangong Qing, two lines of hot tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Look at you, crying again. I was originally planning to wait until after the divorce and then have the prince make you his concubine. But then I think about it, life in the palace has too many constraints, it's nowhere near as comfortable as being an ordinary person..."

"Princess, please don't have such thoughts... Tong'er is only willing to follow you and serve you. Let alone being a concubine, even if you are the main wife or the Crown Princess, Tong'er doesn't care..."

Tong'er was obviously panicked, shaking her little head like a rattle. She tightly grasped Nangong Qing's arm and repeatedly rejected Nangong Qing's suggestions.

Li Zhenting, who was standing under a tree not far away, couldn't help but frown.

As expected, Nangong Qing has never been a person who is consistent in his words and deeds. He said teasing words to him just now, and then turned around and started thinking about divorce.

"Look at how cowardly Second Brother is. He clearly cares about me, but he pretends not to care. If he doesn't change, I'm afraid Nangong Qing will really leave..."

Xuan Qingshan muttered something, Bai Lianyi curled his lips, raised his arm, and threw a pigeon egg-sized stone in the direction of Li Zhenting.

"Boom..."

The stone landed on the ground. Li Zhenting looked up and locked onto his target. He raised his hand and waved it towards the two people lying on the roof. The two figures, one white and one blue, stood up in panic and flew away as lightly and quickly as birds...

Li Zhenting smiled bitterly and asked them to protect Nangong Qing, but the two of them were chatting leisurely...

Noticing Li Zhenting coming, Nangong Qing stood up and walked towards this side with Tong'er.

"Greetings to the prince..."

Seeing Nangong Qing blinking his clear eyes and grinning mischievously, Li Zhenting's heart began to beat wildly. He said sternly, "No need to be polite." When he turned around, Tong'er had already obediently left.

"I have come to ask for a favor. Princess Yunqing has been fostered at Nianci Temple. Father has been worried about Yunqing and has mentioned her frequently. Tomorrow, I will bring the princess back to the palace for a few days. What do you think, Princess?"

Nangong Qing couldn't help but smile. If someone was being too attentive for no reason, he must have something to ask for.

Princess Yunqing had agreed to this before she performed surgery on Prince Jiajing. Li Zhenting ran over to her and asked, wasn't it redundant to cover the roof with a straw mat?

She accompanied Li Zhenting for a stroll along the garden path of Lengyue Pavilion. She deliberately tilted her head and raised her big, bright eyes to look at him and ask with a smile.

"Your Highness, have you ever heard this proverb? When it rains, sprinkle the streets; when it blows, sweep the ground. I don't know what the next sentence is?"

Li Zhenting felt quite helpless. What was she up to? She was teasing him with all sorts of tricks!

"Prince Yu's Mansion is the prince's mansion, and I am only staying there temporarily. Once the prince recovers and receives ten thousand taels of gold, I will divorce the prince and return to Ruyi Garden.

Even if the prince brought back a dozen concubines, I wouldn't have a single word of complaint, let alone bringing Princess Yunqing back to the palace..."

When she spoke, her face was full of laughter and there was no sadness on her face. For some reason, Li Zhenting felt a little sad in his heart.

But what came out of his mouth was something completely different.

"Princess Yunqing has lived in Nianci Temple since she became aphasic and mentally unstable at the age of six. She has never had any contact with men from the outside world. Therefore, it would be most appropriate to have the princess come forward to welcome Princess Yunqing. Otherwise, I'm afraid that trouble will arise again..."

"Tsk, if it weren't for Father mentioning Princess Yunqing, Your Highness would have probably forgotten there was a Princess Yunqing suffering in the nunnery. He's said to love the people like his own children, but he's actually a cold-blooded person who doesn't even care about his own sister? If this gets out, Your Highness's reputation will be tarnished!"

"Never mind. I'll take this job, but Your Highness, please remember this: whether it's picking up Princess Yunqing or diagnosing her illness, these are not my duties, so..."

Nangong Qing stretched out her fair and delicate little hand, palm facing up, and made a gesture of counting silver.

Looking at Li Zhenting's dark face, Nangong Qing laughed out loud.

"Your Highness, since I have Queen Tian's jade pendant, I can delay the payment of the consultation fee. Once I see Princess Yunqing and understand her physical condition and formulate a specific treatment plan, I will confirm the amount of the consultation fee with Your Highness..."

"I'd like to trouble you, Your Highness, to explain in detail the cause of the princess's illness and her specific condition, so that we can bring her down the mountain smoothly tomorrow..."

Nangong Qing said this with a smile and took the initiative to lead Li Zhenting to sit in the pavilion in the garden.
