Now was the time to show Shangguan Wan's ability, the huge harem was arranged in a neat and orderly manner, and the bestowal of the empress dowager was being prepared in an orderly fashion.

Qi He would occasionally make a trip to the Phoenix Return Hall, but he would leave immediately after speaking a few words. The distance between him and Luo Chen became further and further apart.

The young prince had been depressed ever since he came back. He didn't do anything, probably because of his emotional trauma.

The culprits, Wei and Princess, brought three of her favorite dogs with them to visit Zhaoping at King's Mansion in Ningkang.

She remembered the last time she came to the Ning Kang Manor. It was when she was very young, so she didn't have a deep memory of it. Now that she looked at it, it was indeed big and luxurious.

When King Ning Kang heard that the princess had arrived, he hurriedly went out to welcome her. "This little king pays his respects to Your Highness."

King Ning Kang didn't have royal blood. He had been promoted to the throne by the late emperor because he had rendered meritorious services to the imperial government. Therefore, he still had to bow to the emperor's niece.

"Your Highness need not be so courteous." Qi He revealed the pure smile that a young girl should have. It was as warm as the spring wind.

"Why is Young Prince Zhao Ping not here?" Wei He looked behind King Ningkang, but there was no one there.

"My son has recently lost his appetite and is depressed, so he rarely goes out. I hope that you can forgive him, Princess." There was nothing that could be done about it, his son was indeed sincere to Princess Wei and her, but the princess just didn't like him, what could he do to call himself a father? It couldn't be another forced marriage, could it?

Wei He knew that she absolutely could not be forced to do something she did not want to do.

Qi He shook his head. "Your Highness is too serious."

The two chatted as they walked towards Zhao Ping's room. Behind them were three maids carrying small dogs.

When they reached the door, King Ning Kang knocked on it. "Ping'er, Qi and the princess have come to see you."

Just as he finished speaking, the door opened, revealing a haggard and emaciated face.

Although he had been hurt by her once, he still couldn't change the habit of liking her.

"Then Little Wang will take his leave first." As for the matter of the young people, he still let them settle it, so King Kang Ning tactfully left.

Qi He introduced, "This dog is called Bing Bing, this dog is called Long Long. That dog is called Bu Bu, don't you think they are cute? I know that you are not in a good mood, so I came here to give them to you. Of all the dogs I have, only the three of them are the most lively, so I'm sure they can bring you joy. "

The maidservant placed the dog on the ground, and sure enough, after a while, the three dogs began to run around, extremely lively.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhao Ping bowed, but his eyes were still filled with desolation. How great would it be if she could give him her heart? He had liked her for so long, but nothing came of it.

"Why would I talk about favors with you? Aren't we best friends?" Somehow, she had added the word "friend" to their relationship.

Zhao Ping welcomed her into the room and they sat down facing each other.

"I can see that the princess likes Luo Chen." Although he didn't want to talk about that person, that person stole his beloved Qi He.

The smile on Qi He's face suddenly disappeared. "Everything is fine. Why are you mentioning him?"

She did not deny it, so Zhaoping's words were correct.

"I'm just very curious. We grew up together, yet why did you fall for him in just a few short days?"

Emotions were truly marvelous. Even if you were to walk in front of her eyes every day, if she didn't like you, then everything you did would be useless. This was the tyranny of love.

"It's all in the past. Let's forget about it." Vi He tried to avoid the subject.

Although it is not easy to forget a person, the necessary effort is still required.

Zhaoping fell silent as he watched the three little fellows run to his feet and tear at his clothes with their mouths.

Zhao Ping smiled as he looked at the three little fellows, his clothes already torn from their teeth.

The two chatted for a while more about the dog, and Qi He saw that it was getting late, so he took his leave and went back to the house.

Zhao Ping's mood was a bit better. Like Qi He had said, even if they couldn't be husband and wife, they could still be friends.

As long as he could guard her silently.

Reputation King's Manor.

"The barking of this prince's mansion has never ceased, please do not blame it, Imperial Advisor." The King of Honor smiled coyly, in his heart, he "thanked" his daughter for her masterpiece.

"How can that be? The manor is bustling with noise and excitement, and it's not as lifeless as the other palaces. This is a good thing." As the teacher of the nation, he had to speak up for his disciple.

As the Honored King heard this, he felt even more embarrassed. "The Imperial Advisor is too kind. I wonder what matter the Imperial Advisor has brought you to the Prince's Mansion so late at night?"

Prince Fu invited Qin Fei to take a seat and gestured for the servant girl to bring some tea.

"Where is Qi He?" It was a very simple and straightforward question.

The King Qinguang was stunned at first, but soon he replied in a low voice, "That girl heard that Zhaoping was in a bad mood, so she went to King Ningkang's Mansion. She should be back soon."

Qin Fei was the Imperial Advisor and Qi He's teacher, so he naturally received the respect of the King.

Hearing the two words, "Zhaoping", Qin Fei felt very uncomfortable. Zhaoping? The weak and incompetent young nobleman who would only seek death if something happened? Qin Fei had looked down on Zhao Ping when he was very young. Now that he had grown up, he didn't expect him to still have that ghastly appearance.

"Your highness wants to match the two of them?" Qin Fei asked with a smile. His eyes lit up as he clenched his teacup tightly.

The Honorary King stroked his beard. "I won't hide it from you, Imperial Advisor. Although I have intentions, I am powerless. Wei and this child are the ones who don't listen to discipline the most. So, let her suffer." Even if she has set her eyes on chopping firewood for food, This King will still accept her fate. "

Look, Duke Ming's heart was already like this, and his demands of Qi He were also as low as this.

Qin Fei sneered inwardly but remained silent.

When he returned and saw his father and master, he immediately greeted them.

"You're finally back. Father was just about to send someone to pick you up."

"I've made father worry, it's Qi He's fault. Qi He will massage your shoulders right away. Please calm down." Qi He smiled and ran over to the Honor King's side, rubbing his shoulder.

"You." The Honorary King really didn't know what to do with her. She was so cute that even ten bulls wouldn't be able to pull her off.

"Master, are you looking for me?" Wei He asked Qin Fei.

"Yeah, there's something I want to talk to you about."

Soon after, Master and disciple arrived at the study room.
