PFC Chapter 113: Dislike, old-fashioned!
Chapter 113: Dislike, old-fashioned!
After lunch, Qinghan sat under the peach tree in the garden, lazily basking in the sun, feeling extremely comfortable.
At that time, an uninvited guest came.
Huaju reminded Qinghan in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Wanpin wants to see you."
Qing Han couldn't help but frown. Here it comes, the drama of competing for favor in the harem is here again!
"Please come in!" Qing Han sighed slightly and said, "Shuzhu, go prepare some tea and snacks."
Shuzhu: "Yes, madam."
Huaju led Wanpin to the backyard, and Qinghan said with a smile, "I didn't know Wanpin came from so far away, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person."
Wanpin said with a hint of sarcasm: "No, my sister is not that lucky!"
There was still a smile on Qinghan's lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Wanpin came over on her own, sat opposite Qinghan, and poured herself a cup of tea in a very familiar manner.
Qinghan just watched the whole process and did not stop it. Shuzhu quickly served the tea and snacks and retreated to Huaju's side.
Wanpin took a sip of tea and said meaningfully, "Sister, you are really good at it. You have been promoted to imperial concubine after only one day!"
Qinghan's smile widened: "Looking at Wanpin's age, she should be older than me. Calling me sister is really shortening my life!"
Wanpin smashed the teacup onto the stone table with all her might, her teeth clenched, and she almost squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "The position of Concubine An is there, and my sister is helpless!"
Qing Han lowered his eyes and smiled softly, calling out to Mu Yuan in his mind: "Little fox, why don't you come back here!"
Mu Yuan received the order and ran all the way from the imperial study. Huo Yige was startled by her sudden action. After he reacted, he quickly chased after her.
Ling Huaici was tutoring Huo Yige in reviewing memorials. When he saw this, he didn't have time to stop it and had no choice but to follow him.

Suddenly, Mu Yuan jumped out from behind Wanpin and deliberately stepped on the tea bowl she had just drunk from, splashing a little water.
"Ah!" Wanpin screamed in fear, stood up and wiped her clothes with her handkerchief: "Where did this beast come from!"
"Sorry, sister, Mu Yuan scared you." Qing Han apologized without any apology.
"The Emperor has arrived!" A eunuch's voice sounded, and Wanpin seemed to have triggered some mechanism and quickly tidied up her appearance.
The sharp and sarcastic tone instantly changed to a soft and sweet voice: "Your Highness, long live the emperor!"
Qinghan bowed appropriately and was too lazy to open his mouth.
Huo Yige opened his mouth and questioned, "Who allowed you to call her a beast? You are so bold!"
Wanpin tried to explain, but Huo Yige didn't give her a chance. He stepped past Wanpin and frightened her so much that she immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I..."
Huo Yige came to Qinghan and took Mu Yuan away. His voice softened instantly: "Little guy, why are you running away? If you miss a beauty, tell me and I will bring you here!"
"Fuck you! I told you you can understand!" Mu Yuan roared madly.
Qing Han listened to Mu Yuan's furious voice without any reaction.
Wanpin pursed her lips, rolled her eyes and said a lot of exaggerated compliments. She even tried her best to be charming with her words and graceful posture, but Huo Yige didn't even look at her.
All this made Qinghan speechless, but she couldn't help but admire that this little mouth was really good at talking!
Qing Han stood quietly by the side, her eyes clear and calm. She silently observed Wanpin's actions and couldn't help sighing in her heart.
Ling Huaici stood not far away, his eyes always on Qinghan. He noticed Qinghan's silence and calmness, and became more curious about her.
Around him was the flattering voice of Wanpin, and in his mind he was chatting with Mu Yuan: "I think the information you provided is inconsistent with reality!"
Mu Yuan exclaimed, "Where?"
Qing Han analyzed: "For example, the dog emperor is lustful, and for example, the reason why Ling Huaici supports him as emperor..."
Mu Yuan did not refute: "No one can really see into a person's true thoughts, not even God."
Therefore, Qing Han reasonably suspected that Ling Zier also had a plan, otherwise Huo Yanchen's internal strength would not be so weak...
Then, I should find a chance to meet this little girl...
Qing Han subconsciously looked for Ling Huaici. At this moment, Ling Huaici cupped his hands and reminded Huo Yige, "Your Majesty, it's time for us to leave!"
Hearing this, Huo Yige touched Mu Yuan's head reluctantly, and then said to Qing Han solemnly: "Since it misses you, it will stay with you. I will come to find you later...you."
Qing Han met Chen Che's eyes, and could not associate the words "greedy and lustful" with the clear-minded boy in front of him. Finally, he bowed and said, "As you wish."
After Huo Yige followed Ling Huaici away, Wanpin was helped up by the maid beside her. She stared at Qinghan fiercely, then left with a flick of her sleeves.
Qinghan waved: "See you later, sister!"
Shuzhu was amused by his own queen: "Quiet, stop waving. They have gone too far and can't be seen anymore."
Huaju also curled her lips: "This experience was so bad, it would be strange if I wanted to come again!"
Qing Han lay back on the couch, caressing Mu Yuan while asking them, "Where is Ling Zier now?"
Huaju was silent for a while, and Shuzhu asked, "Ling Zier? Who is that?"
She looked at Huaju in confusion, her eyes seemed to be asking "Do you know?", and Huaju shook her head cooperatively.
Qing Han opened her eyes: "Then let's ask it another way. Huo Yanchen's..."
Shu Zhu immediately covered her mouth in panic, her eyes widened with fear: "My queen, these three words are taboo in the palace, you can't say them casually!"
Qing Han blinked and moved her eyes downwards. Shu Zhu followed her and saw her hand. She was so scared that she immediately let go of her hand and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I... I didn't mean it. Please... please don't bear grudges against me..."
Qing Han closed his eyes speechlessly and rolled his eyes: "I told you, it's not a big deal, you are not allowed to kneel down in the future!"
Shuzhu looked at Huaju tentatively, and when he saw that she nodded, he dared to stand up slowly.
Qinghan finally figured it out. Huaju's idea was more effective than hers!
She smiled and approached Huaju, and asked, "Then you can say it!"
Huaju cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to know, I don't know either, but give me some time, I will definitely be able to find out!"
Qing Han stood up, patted her on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Then I'll leave it to you. Thank you for your hard work!"
Huaju: "Your Majesty, you are too kind."
Mu Yuan said dissatisfiedly: "Hanhan, you have changed!"
Qing Han raised her eyebrows and asked her, "What do you mean?"
Mu Yuan crossed her arms and said, "Why don't you ask me? Don't I know more than them?"
Qing Han stroked her fox fur and persuaded her, "You definitely know more than them, but I'm doing this to let Ling Huaici know that I'm going to meet his sister, right? Hmm? Do you understand?"
Mu Yuan pouted. Okay, she admitted that she was coaxed, but she still turned her head away proudly.
Qinghan couldn't help but shake her head in her heart: Who did this kid follow? He is so arrogant!

At night, a masked woman in black jumped out from the palace wall and came to the Governor's Mansion.
She knelt down in front of a man and took off her mask. Her face was like a painted chrysanthemum. She said respectfully, "My Lord, Zhu Qing'an said today that she wanted to see the young lady. She also asked me and Qiuxiang if we knew the whereabouts of the young lady. We said we didn't know, so she ordered me to investigate. What should I do next?"
The man turned around and it was Ling Huaici. He curled his lips and said, "You get up first."
Huaju cupped her hands and said, "Yes!"
Ling Huaici stroked the Buddhist beads in his hand: "Tell her that the young lady lives in a villa in the eastern suburbs. If she makes any small move, you know what to do..."
Huaju nodded: "I understand."
"Okay, let's go back and don't let any clues be discovered." Ling Huaici reminded.
Huaju: "I will take my leave."
"Wait," Ling Huaici raised his hand and said, "From today on, you have to tell me everything she does."
Huaju thought for a moment and said, "Every night at midnight, I will go to see you at the old place?"
"No need," Ling Huaici said, "Ye Qi will come to find you, just write the letter in advance."
"Yes." Huaju was about to leave when Ling Huaici stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, Dongyu, I heard...she gave you two new names?"
Huaju's heart skipped a beat. Her and Qiuxiang's names were given by the master himself when he picked them up... She swallowed nervously and nodded.
Ling Huaici asked: "What is it?"
"Qiuxiang's name is Shuzhu, and my name is Huaju." Huaju closed her eyes but still said it.
Ling Huaici raised his eyebrows. The daughter of a military general gave her maid a very elegant name!
"So, why should we change your name?" Ling Huaici asked again.
This time, Huaju couldn't do it anymore. Her brain was working fast. Under Ling Huaici's close gaze, she spoke the truth word by word: "Disgusting, old-fashioned!"
Ling Huaici: ...
