Li Ruhua was immediately stunned upon hearing this. If they checked the rope, all her deeds would be exposed.
No way. She couldn't afford to think too much now. She had to play it by ear. She lowered her head and tightly clasped her fingers.
"Your Majesty, are you okay? How about summoning a royal physician?" She looked at Hua Yueye and asked nervously.
"I'm fine." Hua Yueye shook his head, his eyes full of confusion. "It's just that this swing is really dangerous. We might as well stop playing with it."
"Ah?" Su Qingwen let out a desperate sigh. Now it was all over. Her only entertainment was gone.
"Hua Yueye, life in the palace is so boring. I'm still young. I really don't want to just play with cats and birds every day."
This was simply not a life fit for a human being.
"Then just let Ning Yunqing and Hua Xue'er come and accompany you. Problem solved." Hua Yueye thought this was no big deal. He waved his hand majestically.
It sounded good, but the relationship between Hua Xue'er and Ning Yunqing was so strained. How could they still get along? Su Qingwen sighed, not knowing how to respond.
"Pass on my order. Summon them all to Concubine Xian's palace. Otherwise, Concubine Xian might cause more trouble." Hua Yueye glanced at her and then stroked her long hair. "Endure it for a while. In a few days, I'll take you on an incognito tour."
"Wow, an incognito tour?" Su Qingwen rubbed her hands excitedly. "Kangxi's Incognito Tours!"
"What the hell?" Not understanding the words of this new - age girl, Hua Yueye twitched the corner of his mouth and asked in confusion.
"Nothing." Someone waved her hand and said happily. "Anyway, it's a good thing. Hua Yueye, you're really a great guy."
For some reason, upon receiving her compliment, Hua Yueye felt extremely happy. He squinted his eyes and showed a smile. "You've got some taste. Come and have dinner with me tonight."
"Um..." Su Qingwen was a bit confused. This Hua Yueye really had a lot of quirks. He even needed someone to accompany him for dinner. But considering that he was going to take her out to play, she might as well agree.
"Okay." She nodded.
"Your Majesty." Li Ruhua seized the opportunity and stepped forward. "Concubine Xian wants someone to accompany her, right? I'm also bored. So I was wondering if I could often enter the palace to accompany Concubine Xian."
Saying this, she held her breath and nervously looked at Hua Yueye.
Actually, she didn't want to see Su Qingwen at all. What she really wanted to see was Hua Yueye.
"Sure." Hua Yueye never really cared about such things. He waved his hand gently. "Come whenever you like."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Ruhua happily thanked him, with a big smile on her face.
"Hahaha, great. We were short of one person for mahjong. You're just the one we need. From today on, you're my sister. Where there's meat for me, there's wine for you."
"Hehe..." Li Ruhua forced a smile on her face, but she was cursing in her heart. If it weren't for getting closer to Hua Yueye, she wouldn't have caused so much trouble.
"Your Majesty, it's bad. Eunuch Gao has entered the palace. He said he wants to see you." At this time, a young eunuch beside Hua Yueye quickly ran over.
"Ah?" The smile on Hua Yueye's face gradually disappeared. Then he frowned unhappily. "Fine. I'll go now. Su Qingwen, remember to come tonight."
"Got it. Hurry up." Knowing that Gao Quan was a difficult character, Su Qingwen immediately waved her hand, signaling him to go quickly.
The two watched Hua Yueye leave and then sat down at a table together. Su Qingwen gestured. Not bad. It was quite convenient to play mahjong here.
"Sister - in - law." Hua Xue'er's cheerful voice rang out, just like a lark singing beside Su Qingwen's ear.
"Come here. We're playing mahjong today. Life in the palace is so boring. We need to find some fun." Su Qingwen patted the chair beside her and motioned for her to sit down first.
"Right. It was so much fun going out of the palace last time. Sister - in - law, when are you going to take me to the brothel again?" Hua Xue'er asked heartlessly.
"Pfft!" Did she really have to mention the brothel every day? It was really inappropriate for a girl.
"Cough cough... Honey, we'd better keep a low profile." Su Qingwen sighed despairingly.
"Okay." Hua Xue'er nodded with her big innocent eyes. Her gaze suddenly fell on the door, and then she was stunned. "Ning Yunqing is here too."
Since Ning Yunqing got sick last time, the two of them hadn't seen each other. It wasn't anything else; it was just too awkward.
Ning Yunqing's face was a bit pale. After bowing his head in salute, he sat down opposite Hua Xue'er and remained silent.
The atmosphere became extremely strange. Su Qingwen blinked her eyes. She really wanted to sing a song to relieve the awkwardness.
Li Ruhua knew about the past between Hua Xue'er and Ning Yunqing. Since she couldn't get the man she loved, she naturally couldn't stand others being happy. She sneered and started the conversation. "Princess, you're not young anymore. Have you ever thought about what kind of husband - in - law you want to find in the future?"
"This..." Hua Xue'er blinked her innocent eyes and smiled bitterly. "I really haven't thought about this question. But he should be a man who is both civilly and militarily talented and extremely powerful in martial arts."
"In that case, his status should also be very noble, after all, you're a princess." Saying this, she gently picked up the teacup in front of her and gave a meaningful look at Ning Yunqing in the distance.
"Um..." Hua Xue'er tilted her head and seriously thought about it.
Su Qingwen felt that something was wrong. She immediately wanted to turn the situation around and solve the current crisis. She said, "Forget it. Xue'er is still young. Why think about such things? Just accompany me to play mahjong. Someone, bring the mahjong set here."
At this moment, Ning Yunqing's heart was pounding. The girl he loved was sitting right across from him, but he couldn't do anything. When Li Ruhua asked that question, his heart also started to stir. He wanted to know what kind of person Hua Xue'er really liked.
"Concubine Xian, it won't take long. Let the princess finish her words first." Ning Yunqing, that fool, simply said stupidly.
Embarrassing!
Su Qingwen covered her eyes. She really couldn't bear to look anymore. Hua Xue'er was so stupid. Since Li Ruhua had said that, she would surely follow the lead. This Ning Yunqing just had to make things so awkward. Was he crazy?
"Well, his status should indeed match mine." As expected, Hua Xue'er didn't let Su Qingwen down. She just nodded.
"I see." The man lowered his eyes, full of sadness.
Li Ruhua smiled. "Of course. A princess of royal blood isn't for just anyone to covet."
