Quick Wear: Oh no, the lady is running away with the ball again

Chapter 204 The Living Abandoned Empress of the Cold Palace X The Invading Unruly Buddhist Son 38

Qi Heyao is back, and Yun Qian has returned to her old profession - actor.

The woman turned her head to look at him, then immediately lowered her head to give him a proper salute. There was nothing wrong with her, except that the pain and fragile stubbornness in her eyes were just the right amount.

As long as one is attentive, it is not difficult to see that eyes are the first bridge of communication between lovers. The joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, fear, greed, anger, delusion, and resentment of one's beloved are all clear. Qi Heyao restrained his expression and his eyes fell on her injured hand. In the next moment, Yun Qian uncomfortably tightened her grip, as if not wanting him to see.

In a split second, the pain in Qi Heyao's eyes intensified, and for a moment he completely ignored the eldest princess and her daughter standing beside him. Until Qi Chuhua spoke up to smooth things over, "The prince is back."

The kind smile on his face made Yun Qian feel frightened. Although she had seen many people like him, she still couldn't help laughing when she saw such a smiling person. Now she remembered that she couldn't offend him.

"Greetings to Auntie. I just came back from Lancheng and I'm sorry I didn't come to greet you."

"What are you talking about? The Crown Prince is a man of both military and literary talents, and he is a blessing to the Great Qi. Today, I brought your cousin to pay a visit to the Queen, but I didn't expect... you, the Crown Princess, have been stopping us. I don't know what you mean." Qi Chuhua's voice was full of ridicule, but Qi Heyao didn't respond as soon as she finished speaking.

Yun Qian raised her lips, a smile on her face, her beautiful face revealing a dangerous mystery and an elusive sneer, "Princess, you are wrong."

Qi Chuhua met Yun Qian's eyes directly. Seeing that she was not afraid at all, he felt disdainful. "Oh? Then tell me, what did I say wrong?"

"The eldest princess is the emperor's elder sister, so her status is naturally noble, but... the emperor and empress are revered as supreme. There's nothing wrong with the eldest princess wanting to see Empress Yun, but... if the eldest princess doesn't first ask for permission, and secondly, doesn't have the empress's permission, then it can't be considered an audience..."

At this point, Yun Qian raised her head and looked straight at Qi Chuhua. The two were of similar stature, tall and proud, and their aura was evenly matched. Qi Chuhua was already dissatisfied with her reckless behavior and wanted to tell her to shut up. She spoke slowly, but every word was like a hammer, hitting the point directly. "In this case, it should be called a request for an audience. If it is a request for an audience, it should be reported by someone, and you can only enter after the Queen's permission.

As soon as Yun Qian finished speaking, she heard the woman in front of her burst into anger, "You! How outrageous! Are you worthy enough to teach me a lesson?! Where is the etiquette?"

Yun Qian bowed her head and knelt deeply, neither servile nor arrogant, making it impossible to find fault with her. Indeed, Yun Qian knew that in terms of her current rank and status, she was naturally inferior to the emperor's sisters, not to mention the eldest princess who was so favored and had gained political benefits from marriage.

"Yun Qian is terrified. How dare I teach the Princess a lesson? However, palace rules and etiquette cannot be abolished. Yun Qian is just following the rules."

But Yun Qian knew that she was the niece of Queen Yun, which was always a little different. As long as Queen Yun was still alive, the eldest princess would never really make fun of her.

Seeing the two groups on the verge of a fight, Qi Heyao quickly spoke out to mediate. He felt a headache in his heart. Yun Qian was too unwilling to give in. However, he immediately thought of Yun Qian's injured hand, and the slight dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared. "Aunt, I'm busy today. I have important matters to attend to, so I won't see you off."

After saying that, Qi Heyao, in full view of everyone, walked past Qi Chuhua and Wei Ruochan, took Yun Qian's uninjured hand, strode forward, and walked towards the inner hall of Fengyi Palace.

Qi Chuhua and her daughter were left standing there, their chests heaving uncontrollably with anger. This prince had always been courteous to everyone in public, doing everything perfectly, but today, for her daughter, he had truly thrown his weight behind her. However, she really couldn't do anything about Qi Heyao. Yun Qian was fine; after all, she could handle her, but the prince was different. He was all-encompassing. Whether in terms of etiquette or power, she, the eldest princess, could never surpass him.

"Mom, I really want to slap her in the face."

Qi Chuhua was still furious when she heard her daughter's complaints again. "That's enough! You too, didn't get any good from Yun Qian. Well, let's forget about it today. Someone is protecting her. If she does something like this again, I will not allow her to control the government anymore. This is really a mess. The current Sage is still here!"

--------

On the other side, Qi Heyao held Yun Qian's hand tightly. No matter how hard she tried to break free, it was useless. In fact, Yun Qian really couldn't break free, but this kind of thing was known only to heaven, earth, and the system.

"Your Highness, you and I are not married yet. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to act like this."

Yun Qian spoke coldly, and her calm tone seemed to be free of emotion, but it sounded very different to Qi Heyao's ears. Doesn't Qian Qian mean that she also acknowledged and accepted the marriage?

Fortunately, he submitted the letter requesting marriage, fortunately... a smile appeared on his face.

"Qianqian, my Great Qi has always been an open-minded place. You also said that you and I will be married soon. I will hold your hand, and no one dares to say anything."

The two walked to the corridor, where a gentle breeze rustled the vermilion columns. All around was quiet, except for Yun Qian's footsteps, which suddenly stopped. Yun Qian pretended to be upset and stopped, refusing to let him hold her hand. Seeing this, Qi Heyao's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly recovered and didn't get angry.

Thinking about how she had just been whipped by Nanhua, he felt sorry for her and felt that it was because of his own uselessness that she had been bullied like this. Suddenly, a wave of heartache washed over him. He closed his eyes in self-blame, slowly stepped forward, and said softly:

"Qianqian, you've suffered a lot following me. From now on, I will never let you suffer again."

Yun Qian turned her head away, as if she still didn't want to look at him. Qi Heyao's voice was hoarse and choked. He thought Yun Qian was still angry with him, but the next moment he heard the woman's uncontrollable sobbing, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

When he got closer, he could only see Yun Qian's tearful eyes. The two were very close at this time, and Yun Qian could see Qi Heyao's eyes very clearly. Yun Qian closed her eyes tightly, appearing to not want to see him, but in fact... she really didn't want to see him.

God knows, she was carrying the memories of her past life, and she really couldn't look this man in the face. But Qi Heyao didn't know what she was thinking, and he moved closer to her, "Forgive me, okay?"

The man was talented and the woman was beautiful, a perfect match. Later... he took Yun Qian's injured hand with pain in his eyes, and then he found that the wound was very deep and the blood on her face had dried up.

Just like the feelings between them... that had long since faded away.
