After Chu Qing, Lady Zhou, and Lvluo left the city, they first went to the Fengyue Villa.
The young servant at the gate already knew Chu Qing. When he saw clearly that it was her, without a word, he respectfully led her to the meeting hall.
Just as she sat down, Qu Ling rushed over with a group of people after hearing the news.
"Qing'er, you finally came to see me," Qu Ling pouted, looking a bit dissatisfied.
Seeing that she seemed to be acting coquettishly, Chu Qing's heart softened. Unable to hold back, she gently reached out and stroked Qu Ling's head.
Hiss, a girl's hair is so soft.
No wonder Wei Ying and Chu Zhan like to stroke her hair so much.
Qu Ling, whose head was being stroked, seemed to be very comfortable. But when she caught a glimpse of the subordinates who had come with her from the corner of her eye, her body stiffened. She dodged awkwardly, then cleared her throat and said, "Qing'er, today I brought Erya here to thank you."
After saying that, Qu Ling led Erya, who was standing beside Feng Ya, in front of her. When Erya saw the Princess of Ning, there was no trace of restraint on her face. Before Chu Qing could say a word, the little girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.
Seeing this, Chu Qing gently pulled her up.
Erya bit her lower lip and said in a soft voice, "Erya thanks Princess Sister for saving my life."
"Erya! Don't be impolite," Feng Zi frowned and scolded sternly.
How could the princess allow others to casually call her sister.
But Chu Qing was stunned when she heard the words "Princess Sister". She didn't come to her senses even after Feng Zi spoke.
Seeing this, everyone thought that the Princess of Ning was angry. As the oldest among them, Feng Zi could only pluck up the courage and say, "Princess, Erya is young and doesn't understand things. Please don't be angry. I'll scold her well later."
Perhaps Feng Zi deliberately raised his voice. Chu Qing finally came to her senses and said in a tone that showed no emotion, "What did you say?"
Feng Zi was stunned, and his heart sank. The princess is really angry!
Feng Ya, who had been silent beside him, frowned and said in a somewhat blunt tone, "The princess is always magnanimous. Presumably, she won't argue with a child, right?"
After hearing Feng Ya's words, Qu Ling got angry. Before Chu Qing could say anything, she scolded, "Feng Ya, watch your words."
She thought that if she were the Princess of Ning, she might be even more angry after hearing such words.
Persuading others from the moral high ground is the most annoying thing.
Seeing everyone looking solemn and talking to each other, Chu Qing was a bit confused. "Angry? I'm angry? Why should I be angry?"
Oh no.
Everyone sighed in their hearts.
The princess is really angry.
She's even asking them back!
Erya looked at the uncles, brothers, and sisters around her. Originally, she didn't think much of it, but now her voice became a bit timid.
"Princess... please don't be angry. Erya was wrong. Erya shouldn't have called you Princess Sister..." As she said this, the little girl's eyes were teary, looking extremely aggrieved.
Only then did Chu Qing realize that they actually thought she was angry because of this address...?
How could that be!
She was just daydreaming for a while! These people had thought of so many messy things!
The soft and sweet call of "Princess Sister" from the little girl just now almost made her float!
It's probably like...
I regard you as my great - granddaughter, but you call me sister!
Without any blood relationship, she just loved this address so much!
Being called sister by a little girl is probably every woman's last dignity.
Moreover, her soul is old enough to be this child's great - grandmother or even great - great - grandmother!
Feeling so delighted, how could she be angry!
Seeing the little girl's pitiful look, Chu Qing pulled her into her arms and said extremely gently, "Don't care what they say. Just call me Princess Sister if you want. There are not so many rules here with me."
The little girl was stunned at first, and then finally grinned.
Only the on - looking people were all shocked.
Why...
Not only was the princess not angry, but she also seemed to be smiling slyly as if she had taken some advantage?
After shivering, everyone prepared to shut up and keep silent obediently.
...
After dinner, Chu Qing sent Wei Yi to meet Wei Ying on the road. Because of her physical condition, she was not convenient to go with him.
Seeing Chu Qing lazily rubbing her belly, Lady Zhou covered her mouth and smiled, "Princess, why don't we go for a stroll behind the mountain? There's a patch of water hyacinths behind the mountain. They're in full bloom and look really beautiful now."
Hearing this, Chu Qing nodded in agreement.
She did eat a bit too much...
If this goes on, she might get extremely fat during her whole pregnancy.
Hiss, just thinking about it makes it scary.
So, Chu Qing involuntarily quickened her pace. After saying goodbye to Qu Ling and the others, she followed Lady Zhou to the back mountain with Lvluo.
Fortunately, the patch of water hyacinths that Lady Zhou mentioned was not too far away. After walking for a while, she saw a pond in the distance, and sure enough, it was full of light - purple water hyacinths.
Chu Qing quickened her pace. When she got closer, she found that this place was really quiet.
"Lady Zhou, do you often come here?"
"Yes. My husband often brought me here before. We would just sit here for an entire afternoon. Sometimes we would even sneak out at night. The stars here seem to be more beautiful than in other places," Lady Zhou looked into the distance, as if she was recalling something.
Seeing that she seemed to be touched by the scenery, Chu Qing was afraid that she might accidentally say something inappropriate, so she just shut up and silently enjoyed the scenery.
Some time later, a fragrance gradually surrounded them, and then her head began to feel heavy.
Not good! Someone has put something here!
But by the time she realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
In a daze, she seemed to see several figures.
Before her consciousness faded, Chu Qing was actually a bit angry.
Why did the kidnappers come now, just when Wei Ying was about to come back?
Do they just not want to see the couple reunite?
Just thinking that she was going to miss Wei Ying made her extremely angry.
When people are angry, they always can't help but breathe rapidly.
So, she soon fainted.
...
On the official road from Chuanzhou to Qingzhou, Wei Ying was almost non - stop on his horse.
He not only met Wei Yi who came to greet him, but when they were almost in Qingzhou, they also met an ordinary family who recognized his identity.
Out of gratitude for him saving the people from disaster, the old man in the family specially took out a bunch of local specialties from a big box for Wei Ying. Since he couldn't decline, Wei Ying could only accept them with a smile.
After saying goodbye to this family, Wei Ying continued on his journey.
Since Wei Yi had said in advance that the princess was waiting for him at the Fengyue Villa, Wei Ying went directly there.
But as soon as he dismounted, he was stopped by Qu Ling who was coming out of the villa. She told him that Chu Qing had gone to the back mountain to play with her maid and the city lord's wife.
After hearing this, Wei Ying shook his head helplessly.
He originally planned to wait in the villa, but the surging yearning in his heart dragged him to the back mountain.
When he reached the place that Qu Ling had mentioned, the smile that had always been on Wei Ying's face gradually faded.
This place...
There was no one here.
Then, Wei Yi, who had come with him, sank his face and reported to Wei Ying, "My lord, there's... the smell of the Dream - inducing Incense here... The princess..."
She was probably kidnapped again...
