Shen Yunya thought about it and felt that her words made a lot of sense. She could not help but happily smiled. Both her hands rested on her belly as she said, “This feels really nice.”
Big Brother Jin’s body and heart belonged to her only. It no longer had anything to do with Shen Qingdai.
“Even if he is jealous, I can’t let Luo Shiyun benefit from it.” Shen Yunya snorted coldly. There could only be her in the East Palace. Luo Shiyun must be eliminated.
She would think of a way to make Luo Shiyun and Feng Tianlan start a feud. Let them bite at each other while she watched in safety and then reaped the rewards when both sides were exhausted.
…
Shen Yunya’s trusted aide was called Rui’er. She would go out of the palace on the 20th once every month and head toward a place where the man of her heart was at. It was the same as any other on this day except that she did not see the person she wanted to see when she went.
“Miss Rui’er, our Princess Consort would like to invite you.” Feng Tianlan’s guard looked at the panicked Rui’er.
Rui’er turned around, and another guard stood behind her. She had no way to escape, so she asked calmly, “Where’s Brother Qi?”
These are Feng Tianlan’s men. Obviously, her Brother Qi was also in their hands. Were they thinking of using Brother Qi to threaten her to do something?
“He accepted the Princess Consort’s job, so he’s at our Bailan Alliance.”
Rui’er did not look good and was even very worried. But she still said defiantly, “What did you do to Brother Qi? I’m warning you that you can forget about threatening me to betray Her Highness. It is impossible.”
The guard did not say much and just handed her a shoe as he said, “Our Princess Consort just wants to meet with you.”
Seeing the shoe, Rui’er’s face instantly paled. She snatched it over and clutched it in her arms. She looked at them with gritted teeth and said, “Where’s the meeting?”
She had personally made this shoe for Brother Qi. She personally stitched and sew all his clothes, shoes, and socks. So naturally, she recognized it at a glance.
Brother Qi was her life. No one could touch him.
“You’re given a quarter of an hour.”
Rui’er looked at the simple and honest young man who was weaving all kinds of objects with bamboo rattan in the small hut. She was dumbstruck at first and still in disbelief.
“Rui’er.” Feeling her gaze, the young man lifted his head and saw her. He was incredibly happy, and then put down the tool in his hands. He happily came forward and asked, “How did you get here?”
“Brother Qi, why are you here and not stayed at home” Rui’er dared not ask too plainly. She thought she would see Brother Qi in the dungeon and almost flogged to death, and not like he was now.
“I took a big order. I will earn a Spiritual Crystal and 100 Gold Coins.” Brother Qi laughed innocently and took out a small package from the bosom. He added, “I will get the Spiritual Crystal when the job is completed. At that time, I will be able to emancipate you and I can build a small house with my savings from the last few years to give you a dowry. And then….”
Rui’er looked at his honest demeanor, bashfulness overcame her face. She also blushed because of his words.
“These are the three pieces of gold jewelry which I had made. They are the betrothal gifts which I am going to propose marriage with.” The shy Brother Qi put the small package in Rui’er’s arms. Then he turned around and sat down, continuing to weave his objects.
Rui’er unwrapped the cloth and looked at a gold hairpin, a pair of gold earrings, and a gold bracelet. Then she bowed her head as she looked, as if she wanted to bury herself in Brother Qi. She felt upset inside.
“Brother Qi, I’ll come to see you later. I have something to attend to, so I’ll leave first.” Rui’er bit her lips, turned around, and ran away. She didn’t know what to do.
Brother Qi was in a daze as Rui’er ran away. Did she say yes or no?
