Hearing this, Chu Qing clearly felt the hand covering her eyes trembling.
Chu Qing instinctively wanted to remove Wei Ying's hand, but he grabbed hers. Then Wei Ying continued, "Be good. Listen to me."
Chu Qing took a deep breath, suppressing the sourness welling up in her heart, and responded.
"When she wanted to throw the baby boy away, a man who had loved her for a long time stopped her. That man... wanted to take the baby back to his hometown. She quickly agreed, only saying not to bring him back. Then, that man took the baby boy back to his hometown. Until... the baby boy grew up and learned that he was not the man's biological child. He tried every means to investigate his true identity. When the other party found out... they actually said they allowed him to go back, in an extremely condescending tone."
Having said this, Wei Ying stopped.
Chu Qing tried hard to control her emotions, not wanting her reaction to affect Wei Ying.
Because she already understood what this story was about.
Wei Ying... was actually from the royal family of the Eastern Barbarians.
Moreover... seemed to be a prince?
But now he had become the famous Prince Ning of the Great Yan Dynasty...
He was called a disaster star by the Eastern Barbarians, but in the Great Yan, he was almost like a lucky star.
The other side... probably realized that the saying of the disaster star was just nonsense.
So they might think that Wei Ying wanted to go back?
Then they took on a superior attitude and said they allowed him to go back?
Chu Qing was almost angry enough to laugh.
She originally thought that Wei Ying was brought to the Great Yan by the Prince of Guangling against his will, but it turned out to be such a... absurd reason.
His mother actually thought he was a failure in her life and discarded him without hesitation?
If it weren't for the Prince of Guangling, Wei Ying might... no longer exist in this world!
Thinking of this, Chu Qing could hardly hold back the strong killing intent surging out.
Feeling Chu Qing's stiff body, Wei Ying quickly removed his hand from her eyes. He covered her eyes because... he didn't want her to see him in such a vulnerable state.
He didn't want to see the pity in Chu Qing's eyes.
However, to his surprise, there didn't seem to be much pity in Chu Qing's eyes at this moment. Instead, there was... a fierce killing intent.
"She's really..." Chu Qing wanted to swear, but thinking that the woman was still Wei Ying's mother after all, she swallowed the words that were about to come out.
"Qingqing~" Seeing Chu Qing like this, Wei Ying instinctively wanted to reach out and pull her into his arms.
Unexpectedly, this time Chu Qing didn't snuggle up to him as usual. Instead, she moved her body up a bit, then put her hand under Wei Ying's body and actually... pulled Wei Ying into her arms.
Wei Ying's body was a bit stiff.
But...
He actually didn't reject this... feeling at all?
Chu Qing instinctively stroked Wei Ying's head and said gently, "Where is there such a disaster star like you? Wherever a disaster star goes, the people should be in dire straits. But you, wherever you go, the common people live and work in peace and contentment."
"Aren't you afraid that I... will implicate you?"
Chu Qing lowered her head and glanced at Wei Ying, curling her lips, "A person who has crawled out of hell will never be afraid of such nonsense."
"Crawled out of hell?" Wei Ying frowned. He was very sensitive and caught this word...
Chu Qing's hand paused, then she said slowly, "Yes, Your Highness. Your concubine almost died in the Prince's Mansion before..."
Well... this was the only excuse she could come up with...
Otherwise, she really couldn't explain what she meant by hell.
Although saying so... would make Wei Ying feel a bit guilty.
Sure enough, as soon as Chu Qing finished speaking, Wei Ying's expression became a bit gloomy. He rubbed her hand against his cheek, then said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, Qingqing..."
Seeing Wei Ying looking so apologetic, Chu Qing felt a bit uneasy. In a hurry to change the topic, she suddenly realized a problem. Wei Ying's surname... Then she couldn't help asking in surprise, "By the way, Zizhan, your surname? The Prince of Guangling has the surname Yuan..."
She originally thought that Wei Ying had taken the surname of his biological parents.
But...
"I... took the surname of the late Princess of Guangling."
Only then did Chu Qing recall that in her previous life, the Prince of Guangling had indeed had a quarrel with her useless husband.
Presumably, it was because of Wei Ying's surname.
Seeing that Wei Ying looked tired, Chu Qing said with some heartache:
"Don't think about those messy things anymore. No matter who you are, I'll always be here. Go to sleep early~"
"Okay."
After saying that, Wei Ying closed his eyes.
Seeing that Wei Ying's breathing gradually became lighter, Chu Qing's expression turned cold.
The Eastern Barbarian Kingdom?
The current emperor should be... that stinky brat Rong He, right?
Humph!
Those who bullied her? She remembered them.
...
The next day, when Chu Qing woke up, she found that she and Wei Ying had changed positions. Before going to sleep, it was clearly her hugging Wei Ying, but when she woke up, it was Wei Ying hugging her.
Chu Qing pursed her lips, then turned around and rubbed against Wei Ying's embrace.
I have to say, Wei Ying's embrace was really...
So comforting.
Because it was so comfortable, she took another nap. When she woke up again, it was Lvluo who woke her up.
"Your Highness!" Lvluo said excitedly while helping Chu Qing change her clothes.
Chu Qing responded with a hum, indicating for her to continue.
"That... Ba Te'er... His Highness the Prince of Ning is going to assess him!"
"Now?"
"Yes!"
As soon as Lvluo finished speaking, she saw her mistress put away her previous laziness, quickly put on her clothes, then casually tied up her hair in a bun and went out without any makeup.
"Your Highness, don't you want to eat something?" Lvluo hurriedly followed behind.
Chu Qing waved her hand and walked quickly towards the crowd gathered not far away.
Naturally, the ones surrounded by the crowd were Wei Ying and Ba Te'er.
When Chu Qing walked forward, seeing that it was the Princess of Ning, the crowd immediately consciously made way for her.
Nodding slightly to the crowd, Chu Qing strode in.
"Are we about to start?" Seeing Wei Ying, Chu Qing said with a smile.
"Just about to start. You came just in time, Qingqing." Wei Ying's originally sharp expression immediately softened when he saw Chu Qing.
After getting the answer, Chu Qing then turned her gaze to Ba Te'er. She saw him smile nervously, then wait for Wei Ying's assessment seriously.
At this moment, Chu Qing casually looked around the people. Seeing that there was no contempt or other bad expressions on their faces, Chu Qing finally felt relieved.
Originally, she thought that after the people of the Bulanduo Tribe heard that their chief was going to worship His Highness the Prince of Ning as his teacher, they would have some resistance.
However, to her surprise, all the people of the Bulanduo Tribe were watching on the side with anticipation.
Even some young men and women were cheering him on...
It seemed that everyone in the Bulanduo Tribe hoped that Wei Ying could become Ba Te'er's teacher...
It seemed... she had thought too much.
The people of the Bulanduo Tribe were really simple and honest.
"Ba Te'er, are you ready?" Wei Ying finally said seriously.
"I'm ready." Ba Te'er naturally also straightened his attitude.
"Then let's start."
