As Qingluan finished speaking, a brief silence fell into the book pavilion.

After a moment, Qingluan spoke again: "I told Your Majesty that before I was fourteen years old... I have no memory of my parents and relatives. Now they just tell me about my identity. Do I have to believe them?"

Jiuqing said lightly: "Do you think they are lying to you?"

"I...I don't know." Qingluan lowered her head and was anxious. "It doesn't seem to matter whether she believes it or not. Even if her identity is really as they said, she is a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, so what? I only remember when I was about to starve to death, it was the prince who saved me and took me back to the house. It was the prince who taught me to read and read, and gave me the opportunity to study in the academy..."

"It is also the prince who patiently taught me the principle of being an official. I am grateful to the prince and like him. The prince is kind to me. How can those who are uneasy and kind? His Majesty thinks... should I help them and betray the prince?"

King Chen raised his eyes and frowned unconsciously.

like?

Unexpectedly, even King Chen had a brief moment of emptying in his mind.

"Qingluan, are you telling me that you like King Chen?" Jiuqing's voice was a little cold, and it was a bit incredible, "Want to use the beauty trick?"

"I don't dare." Qingluan replied subconsciously, then suddenly felt a little strange. She couldn't help but look up at Jiuqing, obviously because she felt that Jiuqing's question surprised her.

Didn’t Your Majesty know about her likes King Chen long ago?

When did a beauty plan come up?

Moreover, Qingluan Hou realized that what Your Majesty said today seemed to have some profound meaning... was it intentional?

As he felt something in his heart, Qingluan's heart beat suddenly faster, and he felt a little nervous and uneasy. He couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm down his emotions.

"I... I know that my identity is low, so I dare not think about it..." Qingluan lowered her eyes and pinched her robe sleeves with her fingers. "Although the relationship is not something I can control, I will not go to the prince... I took the initiative to talk about it, and I dared not have any thoughts of a beauty plan..."

After a pause, she smiled faintly: "And there are so many noble girls in Tiandu City, most of whom are talented and beautiful, and all the family has a prominent family. Women like me can grab a lot of them at will. The prince has never been moved by anyone, so why don't I overestimate myself and think that the beauty trick is effective for the prince?"

"Emotional matters are not controlled by reason and intelligence." Ye Jin, who had been standing aside for a long time, finally spoke with a faint tone. "If I had known that Jiuqing's identity was so noble, maybe I would not have dared to be moved easily at the beginning, but many times, fate is so teasing people. It is impossible to lose my heart when I was at the least guarded moment.

Qingluan shook her head slowly: "The situation of me is different from that of the Emperor. The Emperor is at least a prince, and he has the courage to pursue it, but I... I am born to be a subordinate. There is a difference between the prince and me. It is a gap that can never be crossed. I dare not expect too much."

"Okay." Jiuqing's tone faded, "I am not going to talk to you about my feelings today. Regarding what I have just said, King Chen has already received the order. Go back and clean up and set off with King Chen."
