Chapter 239: Disguise to Save the Beauty (Part )
He Qingqing was indeed feeling very uncomfortable at this time. Seeing that her cousin He Yutong, whose symptoms were more serious than hers, looked much better, she nodded and agreed.
After bidding farewell to Gu Qingya, He Qingqing followed He Yutong and turned left and right in the garden. Soon they arrived at a two-story building beside a stream!
There were two maids waiting on the first floor, with some food prepared for the nobles visiting the garden. The second floor was where the nobles could rest.
The small building is not big, and there is nothing else on the second floor except a bed and a set of tables and chairs, but it is indeed very warm!
"Big sister, lie down on the bed for a while. I'll ask the servants to cook a bowl of Yuanxiao for you! After you eat a few Yuanxiao and drink some hot soup and sweat, you will regain some energy! Then we'll go back! My brother is such a fool! He asked us to come even though he knew we had eaten the wrong food! Can't he just not come?"
He Yutong complained indignantly.
He Qingqing sat on the bed and said with a smile, "Don't blame Jieshu! After all, he is your brother! Besides! How can our He family not lie to the princes and princesses? I am just here to go through the motions! You can really make your own decisions! On the contrary, you should seize this opportunity and try to catch a rich husband! You are not a child anymore!"
"Big sister! ... You just like to make fun of others! I will ignore you! I will go and get you some Yuanxiao! These servants in the palace are clumsy and don't look much better than those in our He family! I am worried! I have to bring them to you myself! Big sister! You lie down for a while!"
"You...slow down...don't get burned!"
"Know it!"
After He Yutong left, He Qingqing lay on the bed, feeling uncomfortable physically and even more uncomfortable in her heart:
To be honest, I really don't want to come! After all, this garden belongs to King Ping, and not long ago, my father just rejected the marriage proposal of King Ping's son!
Of course her father would refuse, because the young prince of King Ping already had a wife, and after she married him she would only be able to be a concubine.
The He family was one of the royal families of the previous dynasty, a hereditary duke family! And she was the eldest daughter, so how could she marry someone else as a concubine!
What's more, what kind of reputation does this young prince have! He is ignorant, greedy and lustful! His father, who has always been stubborn and conservative, is naturally unlikely to agree to this marriage!
But now, several princes and eleven princesses have chosen to hold the Lantern Festival at Prince Ping's Mansion, which is really embarrassing!
Fortunately! The young prince of Prince Ping's family only sent someone to inquire privately, and few others knew about it, not even Prince Ping! And since arriving at this palace, he has never met the young prince that he could not remember!
I have no impression of him at all! Even if I may have met him before! But if he doesn't introduce himself, I won't recognize him!
How could I be willing to marry someone I had no impression of?
Even if you may not be able to make the decision on your own lifelong affairs, at least you should know the height, weight, and whether the person is handsome or ugly before you get engaged!
Thinking of this, He Qingqing felt a little embarrassed, and her pale face turned slightly red.
The door creaked slightly, and He Yutong walked into the room carrying a bowl of steaming Yuanxiao!
"Big sister! Are you feeling better? You look much better! Come on, come on! Big sister, eat some of these freshly cooked Yuanxiao while they're still hot! And drink some hot soup to warm your body! After you finish eating, lie down for half an hour and then we'll go back! Let my big brother handle it alone! We don't want to suffer this with him!"
Under He Yutong's persuasion, He Qingqing ate three Yuanxiao dumplings and drank half a bowl of hot soup. As expected, she felt that the coldness in her body had been relieved a lot!
He Yutong on the side frowned and said, "Big sister, why did you only eat so little? There's still most of the Yuanxiao left! You didn't even drink a few sips of the soup!"
He Qingqing smiled and said, "I really don't have much appetite right now. If you don't mind the dirtiness, just eat it!"
"Ah!? I want to eat! I can't... I can't eat anymore. I ate a big bowl before! But now I can't eat any more! Oh! What a pity for such a delicious dish! Sister, you know what, the servants in this palace are not that good, but the chef's cooking skills are pretty good! Even the ordinary Yuanxiao is made to be exceptionally delicious!"
"Really? Then when you get home, ask the chef in the mansion to make Yuanxiao for you every day!"
"No way! Eating too much sweets will make you fat, and then my elder sister will cheat me!"
The two sisters were sitting and lying down, talking and laughing, when suddenly the door was pushed open again! He Yutong was so scared that her heart tightened, and she turned around and saw the eleventh princess she had just met walking in with a girl.
"Your Highness!" He Yutong hurriedly stood up and saluted!
Gu Qingya just nodded to her, but walked to the bed with a concerned look on her face, and asked, "Jingqing, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?"
He Qingqing quickly sat up.
"Big sister! I feel much better! I feel warm all over now! But I'm afraid I can't stay here for long! I want to rest for another half an hour and then go back!"
"That's good! In that case, I'll give the order later so that no outsiders can disturb you anymore! When you feel ready to leave, go back by yourself! I have too much to do here, so I won't accompany you for now!"
After Gu Qingya finished speaking, she introduced the woman who came with her, "This is Senior Sister Liu Qianqian, also from our Huanyue Palace! The owner of Cuiliu Pavilion, the eldest daughter of Anping Liu Family! She is also the eldest sister of the little butcher! She said that the little girl has something to give you!"
"Oh! It's Senior Sister Liu! After not seeing you for many years, Senior Sister Liu has become more beautiful! Little girl!? Are you talking about Xiyao?"
"Oh!? You know each other?"
"Seven years ago, I met Senior Sister Liu! However, although I dare to recognize Senior Sister Liu, Senior Sister Liu may not dare to recognize me!"
"Yes! Back then! You were just a little girl in your teens! In the blink of an eye, you have grown into a big girl! Girls really change a lot when they grow up, and they become more and more beautiful!"
"If that's the case, then I have nothing to do with it! You guys chat slowly! I have to go somewhere else first! Jingqing! Don't tell anyone else when you leave! Just get up! I'll say hello to the people in the palace!"
After saying that, Gu Qingya quickly went downstairs and left.
After Gu Qingya left, there were only three people left in the room.
He Qingqing asked curiously, "Senior Sister Liu, I wonder what your sister asked you to bring back for me? This little girl is really thoughtful!"
"Liu Qianqian" did not answer, but looked at He Yutong and said unhappily: "Sister! I have some private matters to discuss with Miss He, please move aside for the time being!"
He Yutong looked a little unhappy, but she had no intention of leaving. She said forcefully, "My eldest sister is sick now! I want to stay and take care of her!"
"Oh! Really!" "Liu Qianqian" said as she closed the door and bolted it!
"Since you insist on staying, then just stay! Anyway, what your elder sister and I want to talk about is not something shameful!" "Liu Qianqian" walked up to He Yutong, who was looking at her in surprise, guilty and nervous.
"You...what do you mean by that...ah! What are you going to do...wuwuwu...what did you make me eat?"
He Yutong was horrified, staring blankly at "Liu Qianqian" who had made him unable to move just by reaching out and tapping him a few times. What was even more terrifying was that she had just force-fed him something!
"Senior Sister Liu, what are you doing... Why can't I muster any strength... What did you... do? ... Why did you... do this?"
He Qingqing was also shocked!
"Liu Qianqian" smiled but did not reply, but she felt relieved in her heart: Fortunately, I, Liu Feiyun, arrived in time!
