Shangyuan City, a moment later.
After another meaningless drinking party, Luo Qingqing escorted the drunk fourth prince back to the palace.
For some reason, she always felt that the other party's attitude had changed slightly in the past half month, and he was no longer as pestering as before. Moreover, when drinking, the number of times I call out friends is reduced, and more often I drink alone.
Although he didn't know the reason, it felt a lot easier for Luo Qingqing.
She didn't like to be treated like an object in front of those talented people and allowed to be criticized, nor did she want to have anything to do with Ning Chunan. If the fourth prince can be so quiet in the next year or so, it will be too late for her to be happy.
"You are back." The maid was already waiting at the door of the room.
"Huh." Ning Chunan pushed the maid away and staggered into the house.
Luo lightly shrugged at her, and then said to the inner room, "Your Highness, take a good rest, and I will leave first."
"Wait."
Just when she turned to leave, Ning Chunan suddenly stopped her.
"Is there anything else?" Luo Qingqing had to stop.
"Come in, I have something to tell you."
"Your Highness, it's getting late today—"
"Come in, I don't want to do it a second time."
"Lord Luo..." The maid looked uneasy.
Luo sighed softly and walked into the room helplessly. This is the fourth prince's guest room. It is not a private place, but there are only two candles in the room, making the light a bit dim.
"Sit down." Ning Chunan pointed to the cushions in front of the low table in the center of the room, then motioned to the maid, "Go and bring the wine."
"You have already drank today." Luo quietly sat opposite him.
"You can never have too much wine." Ning Chunan said nonchalantly, "Why, do you want to share some with me?"
"..." She simply ignored the other party's drunken remarks and went straight to the point, "What do you want to say?"
"What's wrong with me?"
"What?"
"Oh, why are you pretending to be stupid?" Ning Chunan breathed out a breath of alcohol, "Didn't my mother tell you why you should be the internal guard of magic?"
Luo Qingqing couldn't help but frowned, "You are drunk."
"No! I'm very awake." He supported the table and leaned forward, "I am a prince, and my status is second only to my father and the prince. My mother is from the Luo family, and I will take good care of you in the future. Wealth? I The property in your name is enough for you to have a worry-free life; power? With your royal background and your talent, can't you easily get ahead? So...what else are you dissatisfied with? Does it make it so difficult for you to become my person?"
At the end, he almost growled.
"Your Highness, when it comes to guarding, I have no intention of violating my duties, nor do I think that my heart is drawn to others—"
"Until now? Are you still covering it up? Do you think I'm a fool?" He suddenly stretched out his hand? Grab Luo Qingqing's arm? "I don't just want a guard, what I want is—you!"
Luo knocked his hand off easily? "Your Highness, please respect yourself!"
"Self-respect?" Ning Chunan looked at the red back of his hand? Suddenly burst out laughing? "How ironic is it to say this from your mouth? Do you think you are pure and spotless? Don't tease me! Do you know how those people describe you and me? They said that you had been having an affair with someone else for a long time, but you put me Always kept in the dark!”
Luo Qingqing suddenly felt? There is no way that I can persist until the completion of the two-year period.
She stood up? He bowed his hands and said, "... I don't understand what His Highness is saying. If you only care about rumors and rumors, I don't have much to say? I'll excuse you."
"Xia Fan."
The steps Luo Qingqing took suddenly stopped.
"That guy's name is Xia Fan... right?" Ning Chunan said in a low voice, "I asked someone to go to the Privy Council Office to inquire? He has no fixed address, is from a lowly background, and was a candidate at the same time as you. It can be said... except for him Apart from being able to sense qi, he is useless in other aspects." He paused slightly, "No, it can't be said that he is useless. At least he is quite good at pleasing women and clinging to them. I heard from people in the Privy Council that he fell in love with her. The third princess, that is, my sister’s thigh, is now working for the headquarters of Jinxia City.”
He picked up a bottle of wine and took a sip, "Now that I have the opportunity to climb onto Her Royal Highness's bedside, do you think she will look at you one more time?"
"Why does Your Highness have such an association? Xia Fan and I only worked together in the military examination, and there is no such personal relationship as you said." Luo Qingqing said in disbelief. She could hardly believe such slanderous words. would come out from the mouth of a prince, "And Xia Fan is by no means a despicable person. I don't think the third princess will promote him because of his flattery-"
"Isn't he a despicable person?" The fourth prince raised his voice a little higher, "If he is not despicable, he will use incense to break into your boudoir at night and lift your quilt? Even so, you still have to protect him, even in the future In the key decision of Shi Kao, you would rather betray the family's interests than get involved with him, and now you want to tell me that there is no relationship between you? I am not a fool!"
Luo Qingqing was shocked.
Obviously only a few female disciples know about this matter, and she has specifically explained it. Why is it now known to the Fourth Prince
"But in fact, it's not!"
"I know what the facts are!" Ning Chunan interrupted irritably, "I even found the Luo family that was the reference at the time and confirmed the news with them. Do you think I don't have such little expectations? Are they all rumors? But the results only disappoint me!"
Reference person at that time? The disciples guarding the hotel are rotated every day, and the list only passes through the hands of two people. If he can even check this...
An electric light flashed in Luo Qingqing's mind.
Half a month ago, she had seen her senior brother on the flower boat.
Did Luo Fengqing force them to say it
"Tell me, what do you like about that person? A mere pariah can fall in your favor, why can't I be a royal prince?" Ning Chunan's voice was already hoarse, "It's my fault that I regard you as a treasure, and my mother's fault. I treat you as a rare good match, but who knew you were just a bitch!”
"Yes, he is a Qi-sensing person, so what? The status of this status cannot be smoothed out by just sensing Qi. Do you think I have never played a female alchemist with the ability to sense Qi? Put aside Qi, They are no different from ordinary Orioles." Ning Chunan stepped on the low table, "Yes, I can't feel Qi, but I also have other abilities - such as making you feel comfortable and happy. You also like this, right? ? Otherwise, how could you fall in love with the flower-picking thief? Don’t worry, I will make you forget that guy, completely forget-"
As he spoke, he suddenly pounced towards Luo.
