Since Concubine Xian was pregnant, she naturally became the most respected woman in the harem. She could do whatever she wanted at will. There was no such thing as being under house arrest.
[System: Anyway, I still have to congratulate you on being able to complete the task. However, I advise you not to indulge in the current happiness. After all, the lies you told are like a time - bomb that could explode at any time.]
"It's okay. Anyway, I have that magical jade disc. Don't worry. I will definitely make good use of it." Su Qingwen blinked her eyes and gave the system a confident smile. Then she gently picked up the grapes on the table and ate them contentedly.
Yes, since faking the pregnancy, all kinds of delicious food and drinks had been sent to her palace. She only had one feeling now, that she had reached the peak of her life.
"This feeling is really wonderful." Su Qingwen squinted her eyes and lay on the lounge chair, leisurely closing her eyes to rest.
At this moment, there came a commotion from outside.
"What's going on this time?" Su Qingwen frowned angrily and rubbed her temples unhappily. She was just about to fall asleep, but now all her drowsiness was scared away.
"Your Ladyship Concubine Xian, there's a guard outside who insists on seeing you." A little maid trotted in and reported with her head down.
Hearing this, Su Qingwen sat up straight, blinked her eyes, thinking that maybe Ning Yunqing had come. She sighed. Well, what was meant to come would come. She might as well accept it calmly.
Thinking of this, she raised her hand to signal the little maid to bring the person in.
A moment later, Ning Yunqing walked in with a pale face. He looked up at Su Qingwen and said, "Your Ladyship Concubine Xian, I know you're pregnant now. You're the luckiest person in the whole harem. Can I make a request? Please talk to the princess for me. As long as she forgives me, I'll do anything."
"Hasn't she seen you for so long?" Su Qingwen frowned tightly and couldn't help complaining, "This Princess Hua Xue'er is really putting on airs. I can't believe you've always tolerated her. Ning Yunqing, since you like Xue'er, why don't you confess your feelings to her?"
Su Qingwen crossed her arms and stepped forward. "Don't you know that having a secret crush is a very painful thing? You have her in your heart and eyes, but she doesn't know."
"Well..." The man's pale face suddenly blushed a bit. He lowered his head and shyly bit his lips. "I'm afraid."
"Look at you. You're a seven - foot man. How can you be too scared to confess? Listen to me. Try one last time today. Tell Hua Xue'er that you like her. Do you understand?"
After saying that, she patted Ning Yunqing's shoulders twice vigorously like a tough guy.
[System: Honey, I feel like you're just setting a trap for him. Look at Hua Xue'er. She's obviously clueless about matters of the heart.]
"We can't just watch Ning Yunqing like this all the time. We have to clarify things." Su Qingwen raised her eyes, and her look became very determined.
Suddenly, she saw a corner of a pink skirt around the corner. This outfit was clearly Hua Xue'er's.
"Sister - in - law, I heard you're having a baby. I came here specially to see you." Hua Xue'er's cheerful voice rang out.
Ning Yunqing stiffened and quickly turned around to look at her.
The moment he saw the girl he had been longing for day and night, his cheeks became even redder.
"Hey, don't you have something to say to our princess? Hurry up and say it!" Su Qingwen quickly pushed him forward and walked aside quickly.
It seemed that she had dodged, but in fact, Su Qingwen had found a perfect position where she could see their every move without being easily noticed.
[System: I have to say, honey, you're being a bit sneaky. How can you peep like this?]
"Shoo, you're the sneaky one. How am I peeping? I'm just openly observing. I'm telling you, that brat has a really sharp tongue. I'm just monitoring them so that Ning Yunqing won't kill himself out of despair!" Su Qingwen pouted and said righteously.
[System: Although I don't know what you're rambling about, I actually think it makes sense. You're really amazing.]
"Alright, shut up. No, just watch the show quietly." Saying that, she silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva and watched what was happening in front of her.
"Princess, I'm really sorry about that day. I'm stupid and might have said the wrong thing. Please forgive me. Moreover, I've already been punished." Ning Yunqing lowered his head and sincerely admitted his mistake.
Hearing this, Hua Xue'er looked at him for a while. Thinking of the way Ning Yunqing had dressed up as a woman, the whole palace had been talking about him these days. He had become a laughingstock.
Originally, she was very angry, but now that Ning Yunqing had ended up like this.
Hua Xue'er wasn't a heartless person, so she decided to forgive him.
"Alright, you probably didn't do it on purpose. Since that's the case, let's just forget about what happened before. Just let me win when we play mahjong in the future." Hua Xue'er hooked the corners of her mouth and showed him a smile.
"Okay." Ning Yunqing nodded hurriedly. There was finally a bit of relief in his eyes, but then he remembered what Su Qingwen had told him, and he became nervous again.
"Um... actually, I still have something to say to you, Princess..." Ning Yunqing's sweat was dropping from his head. He looked really embarrassed.
"Really?" Hua Xue'er glanced at him in surprise, crossing her arms. "Go ahead."
Su Qingwen: Yes, this is the moment. Hurry up and confess. Kiss her and tell her you love her. Then you two will be together!
"I..." Ning Yunqing's face was so red that he could hardly speak.
"I... I... I..." The most exaggerated thing happened. Ning Yunqing, this idiot, for some reason, started repeating like a stuck CD.
[System: I, I, I, can't say it. I'm tongue - tied when I want to say I love you. Honey, this Ning Yunqing must have the phobia of confessing to a beauty. It's probably not easy for him to say those three words.]
"I'm so angry!" Su Qingwen gasped heavily and rushed out directly. She glared at the man who was stuck like a CD. "Look at you. It's just..."
"Princess, I've thought it through. I want to tell you that you look really nice when you smile..." Someone suddenly stopped stuttering and even learned to interrupt!
[System: You look really nice when you smile, like a flower in spring...]
