Chu Qing had a rather absurd dream.
In the dream, she was sitting on her seat in the Changle Palace. On her left was Wei Ying, and on her right was the emperor's eldest grandson.
The emperor beamed and called her imperial grand - grandmother.
Wei Ying called her Qingqing tenderly.
Before long, the queen walked in with a group of children.
Some of the children called her imperial great - grandmother, and there was a child who seemed the youngest, calling her mother...
Then the way these children addressed each other... was even more of a mess!
The emperor addressed the youngest child as imperial uncle, and then called Wei Ying imperial uncle too. And the child whom the emperor called the young imperial uncle, in turn, coquettishly called Wei Ying father...
So...
What a jumbled mess of titles!
Chu Qing felt as if these titles were ropes tightly binding her, almost choking her to death!
"Qingqing!"
Wei Ying called out anxiously, pulling Chu Qing out of the dream.
Chu Qing suddenly opened her eyes and gasped for breath.
It took her quite a while to finally come to her senses from that chaotic dream.
Seeing that Chu Qing's smooth forehead was covered in sweat, Wei Ying frowned and gently wiped it for her. As he wiped, he said tenderly, "Did you have a nightmare, Qingqing? Don't be afraid. I'm here."
Saying so, Wei Ying tightly held Chu Qing's hand.
After feeling that Chu Qing's palm was also full of sweat, Wei Ying frowned even more tightly.
What a terrifying dream she must have had.
Chu Qing slowly sat up and then leaned on Wei Ying's shoulder.
At this moment, her mind was in a complete mess.
She had thought she had let go, but it turned out that the deepest fear in her heart was still this...
But now, she had no way back...
She could only march forward without hesitation.
"Zizhan..." Chu Qing softly spoke. She knew that Wei Ying liked it most when she called him this.
Sure enough, after hearing Chu Qing say these two words, the hand that Wei Ying had around her tightened.
"If one day... I deceive you..."
"You don't love me?" Wei Ying suddenly sat up straight and then gently turned Chu Qing's head towards his direction.
Seeing Wei Ying slightly frown and hearing the tone of his voice at this moment... she actually inexplicably detected a sense of grievance?
"No, it's not deceiving you in terms of feelings." Chu Qing quickly explained.
She mustn't let this tender grass she had just gotten think that she didn't love him!
After hearing this answer, the frown on Wei Ying's face instantly relaxed, and then his body also relaxed. He propped his chin up and looked at Chu Qing:
"As long as it's not a matter of principle and bottom - line, I can forgive all your deceptions."
"Principle and bottom - line? For example..."
"For example, you fall in love with someone else behind my back."
"Um..."
Wasn't he just afraid of wearing a cuckold?
Was she such a fickle woman?
Not to mention that she didn't have the chance in this life. Even in her previous life, even if she had the guts, she didn't have the heart!
It wasn't that easy to fall in love with someone.
Thinking of this, Chu Qing heaved a long sigh and buried her head in Wei Ying's arms. After smelling his long - missed scent, Chu Qing felt extremely at ease.
She'd better think less of those messy things! Otherwise, she'd just be asking for trouble.
Because it was so comfortable in Wei Ying's arms, Chu Qing didn't know when she fell asleep again.
However, in this dream, there was only her and Wei Ying.
Moreover...
It was a dream that was so cloying, so risqué that it made one blush.
...
Early the next morning, Chu Qing thought that she would wake up alone in bed again.
But after turning over while touching her lower abdomen, she threw herself into someone's arms.
Chu Qing was slightly stunned, and Wei Ying was looking at her affectionately.
His eyes were full of burning light.
Ah!!!
Her heart suddenly started beating faster!
How could this brat still look so good just after waking up!!!
Wei Ying watched as Chu Qing bit her lower lip and stared at him, looking as if she was about to devour him...
Well...
His body began to have some indescribable reactions.
Having the person he loved deeply in his arms but not being able to have her...
It was really too painful!
Wei Ying took a deep breath and then contorted his body into a very strange position. Naturally, Chu Qing noticed something was wrong with Wei Ying and then looked down...
Well...
The young man was full of energy. She could understand.
It was her... lack of consideration.
So, Chu Qing quickly sat up and neatly put on her clothes.
Wei Ying was initially stunned. After realizing what was going on, the tips of his ears actually turned slightly red.
Some things were understood by all. It was just that the time, place, and people were not right.
After Wei Ying adjusted his state and walked out of the tent with Chu Qing, they saw Ba Tel standing there like a stone statue. It seemed that he... had been waiting for them for a long time.
"Did His Highness the Prince of Ning and his princess sleep well?" As soon as Chu Qing and Wei Ying walked out, Ba Tel grinned, showing his white teeth.
If it weren't for the innocent look in the young man's eyes, Wei Ying would have deeply suspected that this brat was mocking him.
Chu Qing didn't think too much about it. She walked up to Ba Tel and said, "Young people have so much energy. They get up so early."
Wei Ying's steps froze. He felt that his Qingqing also seemed to be mocking him...
Young people?
Humph!
"If Chief Ba Tel feels full of energy, why not run around Mount Kaze once?" Wei Ying finally took that step and walked to Chu Qing's side. However, his tone sounded a bit strange...
Ba Tel, who was inexplicably targeted, scratched the back of his head and then said shyly with a smile, "How did His Highness the Prince of Ning know that I went for a run around Mount Kaze? But I didn't finish one lap. I only ran half a lap."
"Um..."
Wei Ying just felt that he couldn't continue this conversation!
Chu Qing beside him naturally sensed Wei Ying's awkwardness. After secretly chuckling a few times in her heart, Chu Qing said seriously with a straight face, "It seems that you still need to work harder. When His Highness the Prince of Ning was your age, he was much more hard - working and endured hardships better than you. Don't think that just because he lives in the prince's mansion, he has ever slacked off."
Although Chu Qing's original intention was to praise her Wei Ying, what she said wasn't too far from the truth.
Wei Ying had never slacked off for a single day because of his status.
Perhaps he always knew that only by being strong could he not be restricted by his status.
After hearing Chu Qing's words, Ba Tel's eyes were full of admiration for Wei Ying.
Wei Ying naturally saw the young man's shining eyes. He gently squeezed Chu Qing's hand. When he spoke again, the coldness in his voice was finally gone: "You came to see this king. Is there something you want?"
Putting aside the useless talk, Wei Ying directly asked. If there was nothing, the other party wouldn't have been waiting outside.
Sure enough, after hearing Wei Ying's words, Ba Tel seemed a bit fidgety as he kicked the gravel under his feet. Just as Wei Ying was about to speak again, Ba Tel said embarrassedly, "Well... Your Highness the Prince of Ning... I... I've admired you for a long time! Could you please take me as your disciple???"
Chu Qing: "???"
Wei Ying: "???"
