Three days later, there was a banquet in the palace.Early in the morning, Cao Yanyan went to Song Mansion to pick up Song Yu, and then went to Ninghou Mansion to meet Ning Ziqing for a feast.

When they arrived at the gate of Ninghou Mansion, they found Su Yanqi's carriage waiting there.

"Shichiro-kun, are you coming to pick up the little fairy too?"

Cao Yanyan lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. Today she specially changed into women's clothing. She wore a beige cardigan on her upper body and a chest-length underskirt printed with peach blossoms and three friends patterns.The whole person looks gentle and cute, with a bit more liveliness.

Even Su Yanqi couldn't help but praise her:

"Miss Cao's attire today is quite ladylike."

"Stop teasing me. It's not for entering the palace to express gratitude. Otherwise, who would wear this? It's so awkward. If you're not careful, you might trip over the hem of the skirt."

Cao Yanyan complained angrily, and Su Yanqi couldn't help but chuckle a few times.

"I think Yanyan looks good in whatever you wear." Song Yu followed and got out of the carriage, his tone of voice was sweet.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so that's probably what happened to him.

"Congratulations to both of you first. Be sure to treat me to a wedding banquet when the time comes." Su Yanqi bowed to the two of them and blessed them.

"Of course I won't miss you, Mr. Qi Lang. When you get married to the little fairy, I will be the first one to invite you!" Cao Yanyan patted Su Yanqi on the shoulder, not treating him as an outsider.

Su Yanqi's eyes flickered slightly for a few times, but soon returned to normal.He said slowly with a gentle face.

"That's natural."

At this moment, Ning Ziqing walked out of the Hou Mansion.

She wore an apricot printed chest-length skirt and a red embellished double-breasted wide-sleeved shirt.The corners of her clothes are piping with delicate floral patterns, and a green dark patterned shawl is wrapped around her arms.Her clothes were colorful and perfectly outlined her graceful figure.

When she walks, her sleeves flutter like flowing clouds, she is elegant and agile, and her skirt blooms like flowers. She is both gorgeous and full of classical atmosphere, like a character coming out of an ancient painting.

The three of them were all shocked, exclaiming that Ning Ziqing was so beautiful.

Cao Yanyan opened her mouth slightly and licked her lips a few times.

"Song Yu, I regret getting married to you."

"Ah?" Song Yu's face was full of surprise.

"The little fairy is so beautiful. I want to marry her. Qi Langjun, please give it to me." Cao Yanyan said with a smirk on her face.

"Miss Cao... I'm sorry I can't agree." Su Yanqi refused seriously.

"Stingy, believe it or not, I kidnapped the little fairy and made you heartbroken."

"You can't abduct her." Su Yanqi raised his eyebrows and smiled, full of confidence.

"What are you talking about, so happy?" Ning Ziqing came over and looked at several people smiling happily.

"I'm jealous of Mr. Qi Lang for having such a beautiful little lady like you, but he still refuses to give you to me." Cao Yanyan pulled Ning Ziqing away with a smirk on her face, preventing her from getting close to Su Yanqi.

"Sister Cao, please stop making trouble." Ning Ziqing pretended to be angry and patted her lightly.

"Look, you two are just a couple, bullying me. Song Yu, why don't you come and help me." Cao Yanyan pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, Yanyan, it's getting late, let's enter the palace quickly." Song Yu grabbed Cao Yanyan and got on the carriage.

"Let's go too." Su Yanqi stretched out her hand to Ning Ziqing. She hesitated for a moment, then handed it to him.He took hold of her and helped her get into the carriage.

The servant drove the carriage quickly toward the palace.

In the carriage, both of them were silent, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"Is your injury feeling better?" After pondering for a moment, Su Yanqi asked.

His eyes fell on her beautiful face. After the injury, Ning Ziqing drank the decoction for several days. Everything she ate was mixed with a bitter taste in her mouth. As a result, her appetite was greatly reduced and she lost a lot of weight. .

"It's healed now. Thank you Qi Langjun for the medicine." She smiled and thanked him.

"I know you don't like to drink bitter medicine, so I specially added some sweet herbs. You can continue to drink it for a while, and then you can stop taking the medicine when the wound has healed a little." He said calmly, without any sound. mood.

Ning Ziqing felt his concern and felt even more ashamed of him. She lowered her eyes and felt a heavy stone pressing down on her heart.

"Shichiro-kun, you don't have to be so nice to me. I did it to you first." She felt very guilty.

"You don't have to feel ashamed of me. You can just think of all this as a brother's love for his sister. I promised your brother to take good care of you. So, you don't have any burden, do you understand?" Su Yan Qi took Ning Ziqing's hands and held them, smiled slightly, and looked at her tenderly.

"Qingqing, I will always protect you. This has nothing to do with whether we are engaged or not." Ning Ziqing held her breath and stared into his eyes quietly. She didn't expect that he would say it to her so calmly. These words made a warm current surge in her heart.

"I understand, thank you, Qi Langjun." Ning Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief and gave Su Yanqi a relieved smile.

An hour later, the carriage stopped outside the palace gate, and several people got off the carriage and prepared to walk into the palace gate.

At the same time, the second prince and Huo Yunjue also arrived in front of the palace gate, and several people quickly saluted them.

"I have met His Highness the Second and His Highness the Fourth."

"Exemption."

Huo Yunjue raised the corners of his lips, and after scanning several people, his deep eyes finally stopped at Ning Ziqing.Wearing a gorgeous dress, she is as beautiful as a gorgeous flower among all the flowers.

He was deeply attracted by her, and his heart throbbed, as if being gently blown by a gentle wind, causing ripples deep in his heart, as if time and space were frozen at this moment.

"Is Third Miss's injury getting better?" Huo Yunjue asked softly, trying to hide his inner excitement.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My daughter is fine." Ning Ziqing replied respectfully.

"The wound is too deep. Miss Third, you should pay more attention to it."

Huo Yunjue's eyes flashed, and he smiled tenderly at her, his passionate eyes still resting on her.

After several people finished their salutes, they still stood still. At this time, the second prince walked slowly over.He glanced at everyone indifferently, and finally stopped in front of Ning Ziqing.

"We haven't seen you for a long time. The third young lady is now even more charming and charming. If you hadn't made an engagement with Qi Langjun first, I would have gone to ask your majesty to accept you as your concubine." The second prince teased lightly, with a hint of frivolity in his tone.

Su Yanqi's face darkened, and she held back her anger and saluted him with her hands raised.

"Please be careful, Your Highness. My engagement with the third lady is already a fact known to everyone in Kyoto. Please stop teasing her."

"Shichiro-kun, look at you, Your Highness is just joking. The third lady has excellent dancing skills and her appearance is astonishingly beautiful. Who can not be tempted by such an outstanding woman?" the second prince said frivolously to her. Ning Ziqing laughed a few times.

The second prince's frivolous attitude towards Ning Ziqing made Su Yanqi's face hard to hide his anger, his face was cold and tense.His eyes were like steel needles piercing the second prince, and his voice became cold.

"Your Highness, please respect yourself!" His voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction.

Huo Yunjue, who was not far away, turned pale when he heard him teasing Ning Ziqing like this, and there was an uncontrollable anger in his eyes. He clenched his fists and wanted to rush over and punch him.

Cao Yanyan wanted to open her mouth to argue with the second prince, but Song Yu stopped her.

Originally, he still held a grudge because of Cao Yanyan's refusal to become the second prince's concubine. Now if Cao Yanyan rashly stood up, he would definitely be even more angry. Ning Ziqing gave Cao Yanyan a look to tell her not to be impulsive.

"Your Highness, please stop teasing me. I cannot bear your praise. I have no talent or virtue and I know that I will never be able to be elegant. How dare I stand shoulder to shoulder with you." Ning Ziqing saluted him. Her face was as frosty as her eyes. Exuding a strong hatred and murderous intent.

"Your Highness, you must have forgotten that if you want to accept a concubine, you must obtain the consent of Concubine Yue." Cao Yanyan couldn't help but interjected.

This is obviously a mockery of the second prince, who has to listen to Concubine Yue's arrangements for everything. He can't even make the decision on his own concubine. It also reminds him that if he wants to accept Ning Ziqing as his concubine, Concubine Yue must agree, and Concubine Yue has always been He looks down upon the noble lady in the capital.

"Cao Yanyan, what do you mean? Don't think that I will care if you refuse to be my concubine. I don't like you at all!" The second prince looked at Cao Yanyan with anger on his face.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your noble hand and letting me go. My gratitude to Your Highness is like a torrential river."

"You!" The second prince gritted his teeth in anger and choked for a moment.

"Second brother, hurry up and enter the palace. His Royal Highness is still waiting for us."

Huo Yunjue came over and stood in front of Ning Ziqing.

The second prince saw the displeasure on several people's faces, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Your Highness, I won't argue with you for the time being. The days are long, and you wish yourselves the best of luck!" He snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves and left angrily.

Huo Yunjue took a deep look at Ning Ziqing and hesitated to speak.

Then he followed the second prince into the palace gate.
