Ning Yunqing was a rough - edged man and would surely never give away jade pendants or such. So, who on earth had taken a fancy to their princess?
"The young master of the Shen family is truly a handsome man. Just one glance at him and I couldn't help but feel my heart flutter," said Hua Xue'er, her face flushing bright red. She lowered her head shyly, gently biting her lips, her eyes full of bashfulness.
"Alright," Su Qingwen widened her eyes. "Shen Lingyun? You've actually taken a fancy to him!"
"Sister - in - law, you know him? Are you familiar with him? Do you know what kind of character he has? I think he's gentle and refined. Or, do you know what he likes?" Hua Xue'er's eyes were filled with the longing and joy of a young girl in love.
"I'm not sure about this," Su Qingwen lowered her head and tightly clasped her fingers. She was secretly calculating in her heart. This won't do. It was bad enough that she herself had fallen for Hua Yueye. If Hua Xue'er fell for Shen Lingyun, it would be a complete mess. Modern players getting involved with characters in the game.
"No, I don't think you two are suitable," thinking of this, Su Qingwen waved her hand and quickly said, "Dear, you mustn't fall in love with Shen Lingyun."
"Why?" Hua Xue'er widened her eyes, her eyes full of dissatisfaction. Then she frowned tightly. "Sister - in - law, I've always supported whatever decisions you made before. But why are you against me now?"
"I'm not against you. I just think you're not suitable. You two don't seem to match at all. Look, you're lively and cute, while he's like a block of wood. It won't be a good match," Su Qingwen didn't know what lie to come up with at the moment, so she just randomly fabricated an excuse.
"What nonsense! I don't believe it!" Hua Xue'er suddenly stood up from the bed. "Sister - in - law, since you don't support me, I won't be nice to you anymore."
With that, she rushed towards the door without waiting for Su Qingwen's reaction.
Unexpectedly, she bumped right into Ning Yunqing. Seeing her panicked expression, he was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
"It's none of your business," Hua Xue'er tightly bit her lips, looking at Ning Yunqing with annoyance in her eyes.
"Did you have a quarrel with Concubine Xian?" Seeing the one he loved being wronged, Ning Yunqing's heart ached. He stared at her eyebrows and unconsciously clenched his fists.
At this time, Shen Lingyun walked over. He glanced at the two people opposite him, crossed his arms and said, "Princess, I'm here."
"Shen Lingyun," at the moment she heard his voice, Hua Xue'er's eyes widened suddenly. She couldn't help but raise her eyes to meet Shen Lingyun's, quickly walked past Ning Yunqing, ran to Shen Lingyun's side and grabbed his sleeve. "Young Master Shen, you really came. Sister - in - law said for some reason that we're not a good match. Humph, it's really too much."
"Well..." Shen Lingyun seemed to look a bit embarrassed, then said, "Princess, there are other people here. It's better not to say such things."
As he said this, he gave Ning Yunqing a half - smiling look.
Ning Yunqing looked at this scene in disbelief. He never expected that the woman he loved actually had a sweetheart. It was really a big joke.
"Um, do you like me?" Hua Xue'er cleared her throat and asked nervously. After all, she was a girl, and it was really embarrassing to ask such a question.
"The princess is lively, cute and extremely beautiful. Who in the world wouldn't like you?" Shen Lingyun blinked his eyes, and the smile on his lips widened.
This man was originally very handsome, and with such a smile, surely no young girl could escape his love trap. Immediately, Hua Xue'er's heart was almost melting.
She silently swallowed her saliva, her eyes full of hope.
The two of them were looking at each other like a beautiful painting. Everything seemed so wonderful, but this scene deeply stabbed Ning Yunqing's eyes. He smiled bitterly, and a tear rolled down.
Ning Yunqing covered his chest and turned around with difficulty to leave. He really couldn't bear to watch. He couldn't face the sweet and affectionate look of the two of them.
"Xue'er, do you have the jade pendant I gave you on you?" Shen Lingyun stared into her eyes and called her very affectionately.
At this moment, Hua Xue'er suddenly became smart. She sensitively noticed the change in his address and immediately grabbed his clothes and asked, "What did you just call me?"
"Xue'er," Shen Lingyun averted his eyes, and his voice sounded a bit unnatural.
It was so nice. Hua Xue'er felt as sweet as if honey had been smeared in her heart after hearing this address. She couldn't help but smile. "From now on, when there's no one around, you can call me like this. You're not allowed to change it casually, you hear?"
"Okay," there was a hint of disdain in Shen Lingyun's eyes. These young girls were really easy to deceive.
"I've always carried that jade pendant with me. But last night, I seemed to be sleep - walking and unconsciously ended up in Sister - in - law's palace. In the future, I must put it in another place and not wander around anymore," Hua Xue'er carefully held the jade pendant in her hand and said.
"That's not necessary. You remember, you must always wear this jade pendant on you," staring at the woman in front of him, Shen Lingyun noticed that there seemed to be a faint blackness on her forehead. He believed that it wouldn't be long before she would be completely under his control.
"Okay," Hua Xue'er was a bit confused. She didn't know why Shen Lingyun was so insistent on this jade pendant. She blinked her eyes but didn't ask any more questions.
"Um, you should go back quickly. Spend more time with Concubine Xian. She's also a nice person," Shen Lingyun hooked the corner of his mouth and started to "brainwash" Hua Xue'er.
"Why? She just opposed me," Hua Xue'er pouted discontentedly and said aggrievedly.
"It's okay. You just need to talk to her more," Shen Lingyun continued to persuade her.
Hua Xue'er was already in love and naturally willing to listen to him. She first nodded, then walked towards Su Qingwen's palace.
At this time, Su Qingwen was thinking about whether Hua Xue'er should be with Shen Lingyun or not. She asked, "System, do you think I should break up this loving couple? I think that Shen Lingyun seems to have ulterior motives. Hua Xue'er is such a simple girl. If they get together, something will surely go wrong."
[System: Dear, I can't answer this question either, because this is not something I can control. Hua Xue'er herself can decide. But it can be seen that she can't see her true feelings clearly at the moment.]
