Prince Duan’s Palace, the stadium.
Nangong Xiaoxin was wearing a black outfit, a red ribbon on her head, and her long hair was tied into a high ponytail. She was playing football with the servants.
When the maid brought Luo Qingzhou and Nangong Meijiao to the stadium, they saw her hook the ball into the goal.
On and off the court, the servants and maids were all clapping and cheering, with all kinds of flattery going on.
Nangong Xiaoxin got up from the ground and wiped the sweat from her forehead, but she didn't look happy. Instead, she put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "A bunch of idiots!"
At this moment, Nangong Meijiao's voice suddenly came from outside the court: "Xiao Xin!"
Nangong Xiaoxin turned around and looked over. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she waved excitedly, "Sister Meijiao, Luo Qingzhou, you came just in time. Come and play football with me! These people are all idiots. There's no point in playing football for me."
Nangong Meijiao walked into the stadium and asked, "Are the things ready?"
When Nangong Xiaoxin heard this, she immediately put her hands on her waist and said with a stern face, "No!"
Nangong Meijiao came in front of her and frowned, "Didn't we agree on this the day before yesterday? Luo Qingzhou's wife is still waiting for the medicine to be boiled."
Nangong Xiaoxin snorted and said angrily: "Luo Qingzhou is so ungrateful. When I needed you, he came to please me and play with me. But after he used me, he never came to play with me again. It's so abominable. I don't want to give him medicine!"
Nangong Meijiao smiled and said, "He will take the imperial examination next year. He studies hard at home all day long. How can he have time to play with you? I came here to play with you. When he wins the first place in the imperial examination next year, he will come over to play with you more often, okay?"
Nangong Xiaoxin immediately curled her lips and said, "You are lying. We don't have time now. When he wins the title, there will be even less time. And you are bragging, Sister Meijiao. There are so many candidates taking the exam. How can he win the title?"
Nangong Meijiao said: "Even if he doesn't get the top prize, he should be able to get the third or second prize. That guy is very talented. Didn't Uncle Duan tell you?"
Nangong Xiaoxin glanced at the figures outside the stadium and snorted, "Daddy did say that, but there are so many talented people. Who among the scholars who can pass the imperial examination is not talented? What makes Sister Meijiao say that he can get into the top three in the imperial examination next year? Maybe he can't even pass the last place."
Nangong Meijiao did not argue with her anymore and said, "We agreed on this the day before yesterday, Xiaoxin, you can't go back on your word, give me the morning dew quickly, I'm still waiting for the medicine to be boiled."
Nangong Xiaoxin snorted coldly: "I can give it to you, but you have to play football with me this afternoon. Luo Qingzhou is the goalkeeper, and you can't let me score a goal, otherwise I won't give it to you!"
Nangong Meijiao looked helpless, turned around and looked outside the court.
Luo Qingzhou asked directly: "Princess, did you bring my clothes for me?"
Nangong Meijiao then said, "Xiao Xin, wait for us to change clothes."
Nangong Xiaoxin immediately became happy. After the two of them went to the changing room, she quickly gathered all the players and began to formulate tactics.
Luo Qingzhou and Nangong Meijiao quickly changed their clothes and came to the court.
Nangong Meijiao changed into a black outfit and tied her hair into a high ponytail. She was tall and slender, with a high chest, a thin waist, a firm butt, and long legs. When she walked, her ponytail bounced lively, making her look particularly youthful and beautiful.
Nangong Xiaoxin took a look and said enviously, "Sister Meijiao, can I be as beautiful as you in the future?"
Nangong Meijiao said: "Of course, Xiaoxin will definitely be much prettier than me in the future."
Nangong Xiaoxin pouted and said, "Sister Meijiao loves to lie. I remember when Sister Meijiao was my age, her breasts were already very big."
Nangong Meijiao: "..."
Nangong Xiaoxin suddenly turned her head and looked at someone and said, "Luo Qingzhou, two girls are talking, why are you eavesdropping here? Also, where are you looking? Isn't your wife looking at you?"
Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to say anything, turned around and went to the goal.
Nangong Meijiao glanced at him, and Fang whispered a reminder: "Xiao Xin, that guy is a pervert, you must be careful in the future, and never play with him alone."
Nangong Xiaoxin opened her eyes wide and asked, "Sister Meijiao, how do you know he is a pervert? Is he trembling with you?"
Nangong Meijiao: "... No, he doesn't dare!"
Nangong Xiaoxin snorted coldly: "Since he doesn't dare to be timid in front of Sister Meijiao, then he will be even less likely to be timid in front of me. My feet are not vegetarian!"
After that, he kicked the ball in his hand into the air with a "bang" and said proudly: "Which pervert can withstand my kick?"
Nangong Meijiao glanced at her petite feet and moved her lips, as if she wanted to remind her of something, but she finally held back and said, "Just be careful, okay, let's get started."
Nangong Xiaoxin immediately said in high spirits: "Sister Meijiao, you and Luo Qingzhou are on the same team. I will assign you some of the best players. If you lose, you can't ask me for anything again."
Nangong Meijiao said: "Okay."
With that guy's real ability, wouldn't it be easy for him to not let the other side score
I just feel a little tired of pretending.
"kick off!"
When Nangong Xiaoxin saw both sides standing in place, she immediately announced the start of the game.
Luo Qingzhou was guarding the goal.
This time he didn't use mind reading. He kept his eyes on the football and the movements of the person holding the ball, and quickly blocked Nangong Xiaoxin's first ball.
Nangong Xiaoxin snorted coldly: "Luo Qingzhou, you won't be so lucky next time!"
“Bang!”
As a result, the second time she went straight for the attack, Luo Qingzhou kicked her away again and passed the ball to Nangong Meijiao.
"Just you wait!"
Nangong Xiaoxin glared at him and immediately ran to intercept him.
Nangong Meijiao broke through the defense, raised her long legs, and shot the ball diagonally, right into the goal!
"Idiots! A bunch of idiots!"
Seeing that they were one goal behind, Nangong Xiaoxin became anxious and immediately used all her skills to attack the goal.
However, under Luo Qingzhou's strict defense, the ball was either caught, hit out, or kicked away every time.
After several attacks, Nangong Xiaoxin was exhausted and out of breath, but she didn't score a single goal.
After a short break, start again.
Nangong Meijiao did not score any more goals.
By the evening, the score was still one to zero.
"Go in!"
Nangong Xiaoxin rushed to the front of the goal with the ball and suddenly shot the ball into the blind corner of the goal.
But when the ball flew out, it was touched by Luo Qingzhou's fingers, flew upwards a few centimeters, and with a "bang", hit the railing above and bounced out.
"Enter!"
Not long after, Nangong Xiaoxin received the pass again and made a long shot.
In the end, it was still photographed.
After a while, she received the ball again and rushed towards the goal, preparing to dribble past Luo Qingzhou and shoot again. However, when she brought the ball to the front of the goal, Luo Qingzhou kicked the ball away.
Nangong Xiaoxin couldn't hold back her momentum and fell into his arms. She immediately said angrily, "Luo Qingzhou, you are really a pervert! You are deliberately taking advantage of me!"
After Luo Qingzhou helped her steady, he quickly stepped back and apologized, "I'm sorry, Princess. It was my mistake."
Nangong Xiaoxin glared at him and asked, "Then how are you going to compensate me?"
Luo Qingzhou understood what he meant, glanced at Nangong Meijiao who was walking towards them, and whispered: "I'll let the princess score a goal later."
When Nangong Xiaoxin heard this, she immediately became furious: "Am I that kind of person? I want to get in based on my own real abilities!"
After that, he quickly ran away, shouting, "Go on!"
Soon, the ball was passed to her feet again.
Nangong Xiaoxin immediately took the ball and rushed straight towards the goal.
Luo Qingzhou was about to step forward to intercept her, but she immediately glared at him fiercely, puffed out her chest, and pretended to hit him directly.
"oops!"
Luo Qingzhou had just run two steps when he suddenly slipped and fell to the ground.
Nangong Xiaoxin immediately kicked the ball with her right foot, then dived forward and hit her head on the ball with a "bang"!
The ball immediately flew into the net!
“Bang!”
She also fell to the ground, just lying on Luo Qingzhou's body, and then laughed: "It's in! I'm in!"
Luo Qingzhou lay on the ground, flattering the horse: "Good shot! Princess is awesome!"
There were cheers from the servants outside the court, as well as applause from Prince Duan: "Xiao Xin! Good shot!"
Then he shouted again: "Get up quickly! Don't let that kid take advantage of you!"
Nangong Xiaoxin got up from the ground, patted the dirt on her head, and stretched out her hand with a happy face, saying: "Luo Qingzhou, thank you for being my meat cushion. Seeing that you are trying so hard to please me, I will give you the morning dew of the Xuantian Jade Maiden Tree."
Luo Qingzhou did not dare to touch her little hand, and immediately got up from the ground and said, "Thank you, Princess."
Nangong Xiaoxin wiped the sweat from her face and panted, "Forget it, I won't play anymore. I don't have the strength. You performed very well today. If you come to play with me more often next time, no matter how much morning dew from the Xuantian Jade Girl Tree you have, it won't be a problem."
Luo Qingzhou immediately promised: "Princess, although I am busy with my studies, I can promise that I will come and play with you once a month. Is that okay with you?"
Nangong Xiaoxin sneered and glanced at him, "Are you here to play with me? I am embarrassed to expose you. As a scholar, you are bullying a little girl. How shameless of you."
Nangong Meijiao's voice came from behind: "He has lost his face a long time ago."
Nangong Xiaoxin immediately complained: "Sister Meijiao, he just bumped into me on purpose and took advantage of me."
Nangong Meijiao said: "I saw it, he did hit you on purpose. You should punish him, it's better to give him a good punch."
Nangong Xiaoxin said: "Can't you just kick him? I like to use my feet."
Nangong Meijiao looked at someone coldly and said, "That's not a punishment, that's a reward."
Nangong Xiaoxin was puzzled when she heard this. When she was about to ask, Luo Qingzhou said hurriedly, "Princess, it's getting late. I still have to wait for Xuantian Jade Girl Shu Chenlu to go back and make medicine."
Nangong Xiaoxin snorted coldly and said, "See, after getting the things, you are in a hurry to leave and ignore others. You are a heartless man."
Luo Qingzhou's face changed slightly. He glanced at Prince Duan outside the arena and quickly whispered, "Princess, this is not the way to use the word ungrateful man. Don't say it carelessly."
Nangong Xiaoxin's face suddenly turned serious: "Are you teaching me how to speak?"
Luo Qingzhou said nothing more.
Nangong Meijiao then said, "Let's go, Xiaoxin, it's time for us to go back."
Nangong Xiaoxin snorted and walked out of the court with her, then shouted to a maid, "Yun'er, give the things to Sister Meijiao."
The maid immediately took out a porcelain bottle from her arms, walked to Nangong Meijiao, bowed and handed it to her.
Nangong Meijiao pulled out the cork, sniffed it, and then put it away.
Luo Qingzhou walked with her to Prince Duan, bowed and greeted him.
Prince Duan smiled and said, "Meijiao, please stay for dinner tonight. Xiaoxin's brothers heard that you are here and are rushing back."
Nangong Xiaoxin immediately said, "Sister Meijiao, my eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, and sixth brother all like you and want to marry you. Why don't you just pick one and become my sister-in-law and play with me every day?"
Nangong Meijiao didn't say anything and looked at someone next to her.
Prince Duan immediately said, "It's getting late, Qingzhou, you should go back first. We haven't cooked your meal yet."
Then he warned: "You are a married man, you can't get too close to my Xiaoxin, understand?"
Nangong Xiaoxin deliberately said suddenly, "Father, Luo Qingzhou just touched me and hugged me. I may not be able to get married in the future. How about when he wins the first place in the imperial examination next year, let him go back and divorce his wife, and then come to marry me, okay?"
The muscles on Prince Duan's face twitched, and he glared at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Then he quickly waved his hand and drove him away, "Luo Qingzhou, go away quickly. Let Meijiao come alone next time. You are not allowed to come again!"
Nangong Xiaoxin said immediately: "No! He must come! If Daddy doesn't let him come, I will go find him and then degenerate into being his concubine! Humph!"
Prince Duan: “…”
Luo Qingzhou did not dare to stay any longer and immediately said goodbye: "My Lord, Princess, I will take my leave now."
Then he looked at Nangong Meijiao next to him and said, "Princess, my wife is waiting for you to have dinner, let's go."
Nangong Meijiao deliberately said: "But, I want to stay here and have dinner with Xiaoxin."
Nangong Xiaoxin immediately said happily: "Great, Sister Meijiao, you don't have to leave tonight, sleep with me."
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and turned away.
Nangong Meijiao saw him walking away, and then said: "Xiao Xin, Uncle Duan, I will come again in a few days. I promised my aunt and cousin that I would go to dinner."
After saying that, he immediately chased after him and shouted, "Luo Qingzhou, wait for me!"
Prince Duan looked at her from behind, frowned slightly, and said: "This girl, could it be..."
Nangong Xiaoxin next to him said, "Father, aren't you looking for a teacher for me? Luo Qingzhou is handsome, talented, and can play football. Why don't you recruit him to teach me every day? That way I will feel better and I will be willing to study. Besides, it should be safe between a teacher and a student, right?"
Prince Duan immediately refused: "Don't even think about it!"
His mind couldn't help but reappear the scene of the first time he saw that boy in Jinchan Temple that day. Almost all the monks in Jinchan Temple were impressed by his literary talent.
Even the elders and abbots of the Jinchan Temple came out to greet him politely, and even the...
"Xiao Xin, that boy is not an ordinary person. You are too young to subdue him."
He sighed.
Nangong Xiaoxin looked down at her chest and said in frustration: "Well, it's not small, it's just that it's not big at all... I envy Sister Meijiao so much..."
Outside the palace.
Aunt Mu drove the carriage, carrying two people, towards the outer city.
In the evening, snowflakes began to fall slowly again.
Luo Qingzhou and Nangong Meijiao sat face to face in the carriage, looking at each other without speaking.
It was not until the carriage left the inner city that Nangong Meijiao spoke weakly, as if she had done something wrong: "I was joking with you. I don't want to stay there for dinner at all. I don't like Xiaoxin's brothers. I'm annoyed when I see them."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm thinking about something else. It has nothing to do with you."
Nangong Meijiao looked at him and said, "It's okay. If you fail, you can go to Lingxiao Sect. No one dares to go to Lingxiao Sect to arrest people. As for the others, I will help you keep an eye on them."
Luo Qingzhou shook his head and said, "My princess underestimated Luo Changtian and the Jinyiwei. There may be some intentions behind this from the emperor. You, the Southern Kingdom Prince's Mansion, must not get involved, otherwise, you will be harmed."
Nangong Meijiao frowned, was silent for a while, and whispered: "I don't know how the princess is doing now, I really hope she..."
"Princess."
Luo Qingzhou interrupted her and said seriously, "Don't take sides. You represent the entire Southern Kingdom Prince's Mansion and the relatives and friends of the Prince's Mansion, not just yourself. From now on, no matter what you say or do, you must think twice and don't be impulsive."
Nangong Meijiao looked at him and asked, "Then why do you want to take sides?"
Luo Qingzhou sighed and said, "I was forced to do that. If I hadn't chosen a side, I wouldn't be here now."
Nangong Meijiao stood up, sat down next to him, and whispered, "Are you unsure about the princess?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "No one can be sure of this kind of thing, not even the princess. So, don't take sides in advance."
Nangong Meijiao leaned on him, her head on his shoulder, her expression gentle: "Anyway, I am already yours, I will stand with whoever you stand with. If you want to be beheaded, we will be together, I am not afraid."
Luo Qingzhou's heart softened and he reached out to hug her. After hesitating for a moment, he took out the mask and put it on his face. Then he hugged her slender waist from behind and held her hand.
Nangong Meijiao chuckled, stared at the expression on his face and said, "Brother Feiyang, you're here?"
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and kissed her little mouth, saying: "Princess, thank you, thank you for doing so much for me and the Qin family."
Nangong Meijiao asked: "Then do you like Meijiao?"
Luo Qingzhou stroked her soft little hand and said, "Of course I like it."
"What do you like about Meijiao?"
"I like it everywhere."
"What's your favorite place?"
"hand."
"hypocritical!"
"Face."
"If you don't tell the truth, forget it in the future, hum."
The carriage carrying the two soon arrived at Maple Leaf Alley.
At this time, night fell and the sky became dark.
The snowflakes are still falling silently.
The pedestrians and vendors on the street have long disappeared.
In the hall of Qin Mansion.
The eldest son of the Qin family, Qin Lang, and the second son, Qin Chuan, both rushed back from Dragon and Tiger Academy.
After dinner, they had to rush back overnight.
A family of five was talking lively.
As for Miss Qin, although she also came out, she was wearing a snow-white fox fur coat and standing in the corridor outside, looking at the snowflakes falling in the courtyard. She was in a daze, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
No one came to disturb her.
In the hall, Qin Lang glanced outside and was asking about her situation in a low voice.
Song Ruyue sighed and said, "I'm fine, but... he's still that cold and aloof. There's nothing we can do..."
Miss Qin Er said softly: "Sister, it's okay. I feel fine now."
Qin Lang asked again: "Wei Mo, your husband, I heard from your second brother that he is a good person and passed the imperial examination. Although he has a poor family background, it doesn't matter as long as he treats you well. You are weak in character, if you encounter grievances, you can't hide it..."
As they were talking, the voice of Butler Zhou came from outside: "Master, Madam, the son-in-law and Princess Meijiao are back."
Qin Wenzhen and Song Ruyue, as well as Qin Chuan and Miss Qin II, all stood up.
Qin Lang glanced at them, was slightly stunned, and stood up.
As soon as Luo Qingzhou entered the courtyard, he saw a beautiful snow-white figure standing in the corridor.
Their eyes met.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her again.
She also looked at him, without looking away, and there was still no emotion visible on her flawless and beautiful face.
Nangong Meijiao's gaze naturally turned to the flawless snow-white figure in the corridor. Seeing that she was quietly looking at someone beside her, she was stunned for a moment, turned her head, and looked beside her.
Luo Qingzhou retracted his gaze and did not look away.
When they walked into the corridor, he raised his head, bowed and said respectfully, "Miss."
He lowered his head slightly, and his eyes suddenly caught sight of the shoes under her snow-white skirt, and he was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, there was a sudden sharp pain in my waist.
Nangong Meijiao twisted him hard, gritted her teeth and whispered, "Beast, do you even want to covet Jianjia's feet?"
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
He wasn't looking at the feet, he was clearly looking at the shoes.
Tonight, Miss Qin actually wore the shoes he gave her.
At this time, Song Ruyue's voice came from the hall: "Qingzhou, Meijiao, come in quickly. Lang'er and Chuan'er are back from the academy. Qingzhou, you haven't met Lang'er yet, come and meet your big brother."
Luo Qingzhou exchanged glances with Miss Qin again before walking in.
