Chapter 163 How many peach blossoms do you have?

Splendid Palace

"Qingqing pays homage to my aunt"

As soon as Shen Qingqing arrived in the capital, she went directly to the palace to pay her respects to her aunt whom she had not seen for a long time.

Concubine Rong looked at her niece in front of her. She was no longer a little girl. She had lost her childishness and had grown into a graceful young lady. Her big eyes were smart and graceful. When she smiled, her two dimples made her look even more beautiful and lovely.

It’s really good to be young. Who wouldn’t be moved by this delicate beauty?

After a while, Concubine Rong said to her

"Qingqing, auntie hasn't seen you for a long time. Come, come to your auntie."

Shen Qingqing walked over to Noble Concubine Rong and sat down. She also looked at Noble Concubine Rong. After not seeing her for a few years, her aunt was still the same as before. She did not see any traces of time on her face.

It seems that she lives a comfortable life in the palace.

Concubine Rong took her hand and asked

"Is everything okay at home?"

"Aunt, everything is fine at home, but my father keeps talking about you and says he will come to the capital to see you when he has time."

"I miss you, brother, too."

She had a good relationship with her brother. After all, there was no conflict of interest before. Since her father passed away, her brother has become a strong supporter of her family.

But now that his daughter has grown up, he can't wait to send her to the capital. She doesn't know how long she can rely on her parents' home.

Even so, this superficial work still needs to be done

"You must be exhausted after all this journey. Why don't you stay here tonight? I will welcome you back home."

Stay here tonight? What about tomorrow? Her aunt had never been so stingy before, but now it seemed she was starting to be wary of her.

"No need, aunt, I'll just go back to the old house. I also lived in the old house when I came to Beijing before. It's very comfortable there. I won't bother you here anymore."

Shen Qingqing saw the joy that flashed across Concubine Rong's face, and she knew she was right.

Fortunately, there is a house left by her grandfather in the capital, so she doesn't have to live under someone else's roof.

Concubine Rong continued to say hypocritically

"How can that be? Your aunt is worried about you, a girl, living in such a big house. How about you go live with your cousin?"

"Don't worry, Aunt. Although the old house is idle, it has always been managed by servants. It is very convenient for me to live in it. And I heard that my cousin just got married recently, so I won't disturb him."

"But……"

Concubine Rong wanted to say something but was interrupted by Shen Qingqing.

"If Aunt is worried, please ask my cousin to arrange some palace guards for me."

"Since you insist so much, I won't force you. I'll let your cousin take care of the palace guards."

"Okay, thank you, auntie."

"Um"

Concubine Rong finally felt relieved. Fortunately, her niece was sensible and well-behaved, which made her less worried.

Shen Qingqing looked at her aunt's relieved look and couldn't help but feel a little funny, as if she was going to steal her things.

It turns out that family ties can change. We have the same surname Shen, but now we are worse than strangers. We are all just doing superficial work.

-

Ye Qingge's wedding dress is ready. She thought Xiao Lingche's wedding dress should be ready too. She has to go and see if it matches her wedding dress. By the way, she will give him the purse she embroidered. I hope he won't be too touched. Haha

She got up early, dressed up, and without having breakfast, she took Qingxia to Prince Xuan's Mansion.

Qingshi, who was guarding the door, was a little surprised to see Ye Qingge coming.

He was about to report to the inside, but Ye Qingge made a "hush" gesture to him.

She wanted to give Xiao Lingche a surprise. When she walked to the door, she heard a woman's voice coming from inside.

"Brother Che, this is the pineapple cake I brought from Fengcheng, try it."

Shen Qingqing took out a pineapple cake from the lunch box and handed it to Xiao Lingche.

"This king doesn't like sweets, you can take it away."

Xiao Lingche's tone was calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

Ye Qingge saw this scene as soon as she entered the room. Xiao Lingche was sitting at the table, and a woman was standing below him. However, she had her back to her.

Xiao Lingche noticed someone coming in through the door, and when he saw it was Qingge, he stood up to greet her.

"Qingge, why are you here?"

Ye Qingge curled her lips and said

"What, I can't come?"

She looked behind Xiao Lingche and saw that woman was also looking at her.

What a pure and beautiful face, a pair of big eyes that are pure and innocent. This delicate and weak woman will arouse men's desire to protect her. I don't know which girl she is from, she looks a little unfamiliar.

"Did I disturb the prince's good thing?"

Ye Qingge looked at Xiao Lingche and asked, "How dare you secretly meet another woman while he's away?"

Xiao Lingche smiled helplessly and scratched Ye Qingge's nose.

"What are you talking about? My point is, you haven't been to the palace for a few days. Why didn't you inform me when you suddenly came here today? I could have sent someone to pick you up."

"I just wanted to give you a surprise."

Ye Qingge smiled brightly. Shen Qingqing had never seen such a beautiful woman. She was top-notch in both appearance and figure.

The appearance that she had always been proud of was eclipsed at this moment. Standing next to her, she looked like a stunted child.

And Brother Che's attitude, he was cold to her just now, but when he saw the woman in front of him, he was so excited that she had never seen him before.

She tried to calm down and comfort herself, maybe it was because she and Brother Che hadn't seen each other for a long time, so he treated her like this.

She put on a sweet smile and walked over to them

"Brother Che, this must be Miss Ye, she is indeed a stunning beauty just as the rumors say."

Ye Qingge looked at the person who came and asked Xiao Lingche

"Your Majesty, will you introduce me?"

Xiao Lingche didn't know why Shen Qingqing suddenly came to the palace. In order to avoid Qingge's misunderstanding, he had to quickly say

"This is the Regent's daughter, Shen Qingqing."

Regent? Ye Qingge seemed to have heard of him. He was a prince from another family. She smiled and said

"So you are a princess, I am so sorry for your disrespect."

Shen Qingqing came over and took Ye Qingge's hand

"Sister Ye, just call me Qingqing."

"Your status is noble, I can't bear to call you sister, you should just call me Miss Ye."

Ye Qingge pushed her hand away, calling her Brother Che on the left and Brother Che on the right, so affectionate.

Just one left, and here comes another, Xiao Lingche! How many romantic opportunities do you still have?

Shen Qingqing looked at the unfriendly Ye Qingge, feeling a little overwhelmed, with tears in her innocent eyes.

Xiao Lingche didn't know why Ye Qingge suddenly became so aggressive, so he could only say to Shen Qingqing:

"You should go back today."

Shen Qingqing asked with a crying voice

"Brother Che, am I here at the wrong time? I'm sorry Miss Ye, I was so abrupt just now. I'm leaving now."

That weak look is so pitiful to me.

Shen Qingqing wiped her tears and left without saying anything. This made Ye Qingge seem a little unkind.

Xiao Lingche looked at Ye Qingge and found it a little funny. Could he be jealous of this?

"Qingge, are you angry?"

"I don't"

"You're still saying no, but it's almost written on your face?"

"Is it that obvious?"

"Um"

He took Ye Qingge's hand and returned to his seat to sit down.

"She said she was just passing by and came in to see me, you don't have to take it seriously."

"really?"

Ye Qingge was a little bit skeptical. Such a big food box was placed here, and it was said to be on the way. Who would believe it if he told others?
