The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 53 This is elopement

Xue Qinghe's eyes widened, and she was almost choked to death by this sentence.

How, how dare she say this to King Xuan?

King Xuan paused, looked at Xue Qingyin deeply, and then a hint of color flashed across his eyes, and he just said: "Let's go."

Xue Qingyin followed obediently.

"You come too." She said to Xue Qinghe.

King Xuan frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

King Xuan took them to stand behind a huge screen.

There were three screens in total, and the vision was blurred at a glance.

But they finally knew why they didn't see anyone else on the road?

Because the other noble ladies who came to the banquet just came into the hall one by one to pay their respects.

And they stood behind the screen like this, and they could easily look down on the other noble ladies.

Qiu Xin's heart beat fast in an instant, and her breathing became heavy.

Those noble ladies who were high above...

Just lowered their heads.

Is this... the happiness that power and status can bring?

Xue Qingyin was also shocked when she saw the scene in front of her.

No wonder she was brought here...

She quietly moved her steps, approached King Xuan, and tugged at his sleeve.

King Xuan looked at him sideways.

Xue Qingyin gestured to him, asking him to lower himself, otherwise how could she talk to him?

King Xuan leaned towards her.

Xue Qingyin leaned close to his ear: "How do you know what I want to do?"

"But with a quick check, I found out that Xue Qinghe was pushed to the ground that day. It's natural to know what you want to do at the palace banquet." King Xuan said lightly.

After that, he paused: "It can be seen that Miss Xue didn't really want to come to the banquet."

If you say you want to marry him, you will lose half of your persuasiveness.

Xue Qingyin didn't blush at all, but smiled and said: "Your Highness and I are really in tune with each other, and we guessed it right."

A surge of emotion suddenly surged in the heart of King Xuan.

He couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was, but just stared at Xue Qingyin, thinking that her face was smart and pleasing to the eye.

He asked indifferently: "What's next?"

"Well? Next? Of course, it's to catch the person who pushed the person!" Xue Qingyin said without thinking.

"What should you say next..." King Xuan paused and repeated indifferently what she had said several times before: "Nothing to repay, what can I do?"

Are we forming sentences here and doing Chinese homework?

Xue Qingyin smacked her lips, and for a moment she couldn't understand what King Xuan meant, so she could only tentatively say: "Promise yourself?"

She thought it was wrong, and defended herself: "I usually only say the first half of the sentence."

"You never think about the second half of the sentence?" King Xuan stared at her.

Xue Qingyin felt as if she had caught a glimpse of interest in his cold eyes.

Xue Qingyin whispered: "I have thought about it."

She hardened her heart and thought that since you asked me, we should be bolder.

Xue Qingyin said: "I have thought about giving myself to His Royal Highness Xuan Wang, but..." She shook her head and said: "My elder brother always said that whoever marries me will be in trouble for eight lifetimes."

The eyes of the King Xuan became a little colder.

He said: "Really?"

Xue Qingyin sighed very softly: "I am also weak, and I may not be able to give birth to a child. I also have a bad temper and cannot stand being wronged. I also prefer to wear gold and silver, brocade clothes, and spend money like water. What if His Royal Highness really marries me and finds out that I am such a person, and kicks me out in anger?"

Virtuous and dignified, well-educated, gentle and considerate... and so on, there is not a single advantage in her!

Looking at it this way, it seems that only the foolish person like the King of Wei only looks at the face and nothing else.

Xue Qingyin thought that was bad!

The King of Xuan spoke again, and he whispered: "At the palace banquet today, my father will appoint you as the King of Wei's concubine."

Xue Qingyin's scalp almost exploded when she heard it.

What what?

Why did it come so suddenly?

She struggled to find her voice: "But doesn't Concubine Wan dislike me?"

The King of Xuan's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "It's because she doesn't like you."

Xue Qingyin felt that she probably understood.

The emperor did not want the King of Wei to be too close to his mother's family!

He Songning wanted to weaken his power, and the emperor also wanted to cut off his ties with his mother's family!

Thinking back to the things that happened in Furong Garden that day, every word everyone said seemed to have a deep meaning.

Oh, except herself.

"Do you want to marry the King of Wei?" The voice of the King of Xuan sounded in her ears again.

Xue Qingyin shook her head instinctively.

At this time, Qiu Xin suddenly grabbed Xue Qinghe's sleeve and said in a very low voice, trembling: "That person... who pushed the second girl."

Xue Qinghe looked over and saw a noble lady she didn't know.

Xue Qinghe also reacted...

Xue Qingyin brought her with her and borrowed the opportunity of King Xuan just to catch someone for her!

Xue Qinghe's heart was filled with complicated emotions, and she quickly turned back to look at Xue Qingyin.

When she saw this, Xue Qinghe was stunned.

Just because Xue Qingyin had gotten very close to King Xuan without knowing when, and the two were talking intimately...

King Xuan still had that cold expression.

But the way he listened attentively seemed to reveal a bit of tenderness.

Qiu Xin tugged at Xue Qinghe's sleeve and pulled her out of the huge impact.

"Don't say it." Qiu Xin gritted her teeth.

"What?" Xue Qinghe looked at her blankly.

"Don't tell who it is, don't let Xue Qingyin identify it..."

Xue Qinghe's lips moved slightly: "But why?"

"Girl, my kind-hearted girl! Now the eldest master has finally started to care about you again. If you catch the person so quickly, will the eldest master still care about you?"

Xue Qinghe opened her mouth: "But, but sister specially did it for me today..."

Qiu Xin said bitterly: "Is it for you? It's for His Royal Highness Xuan Wang. You are just an excuse for her. She took advantage of the situation to hook up with Xuan Wang and take away your gratitude. Don't be silly, my second girl. Do you believe that she doesn't have any tricks? Her methods are really much better than yours. She easily won back the eldest master, and easily took the dignitaries in the capital into her pocket."

Qiu Xin almost couldn't control the pitch of her voice as she spoke.

Xue Qinghe suddenly pulled her.

Qiu Xin leaned close to her ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Think about yourself, second lady. You are not young anymore and you have to get married. If you don't have anyone to rely on, your life will be even harder when you get married. Think about it, your grandparents' family has been in a state of decline for so many years, and it all depends on you to help them when you get married."

Qiu Xin suddenly came up with another plan: "Otherwise, the lady should think of a way to make the nobleman like you today."

Xue Qinghe's appearance is not bad, but what makes Qiu Xin feel sorry for her is that she always looks indifferent to the world and does not fight or compete.

This side is worried and engaged in psychological tug-of-war.

Xue Qingyin on the other side is not much better.

After all, once the emperor controls the matter, she can't get away with it by playing some tricks.

Xue Qingyin is still thinking.

King Xuan said calmly: "Let's go."

"Well?" Xue Qingyin instinctively followed him.

After taking two steps out, she remembered: "My sister..."

"She will stay there, someone will come to pick her up."

"Then where are we going?" It doesn't look like we are going to the palace banquet, Xue Qingyin thought.

"Miss Xue, aren't you thinking of eloping?" King Xuan said with a cold face and a flat tone, "This is eloping."
