"Qing Qing, long time no see. How have you been?" This man rarely used such a greeting when he appeared in front of Xiao Qing Ran.

Xiao Qing Qing knew that he could only start a conversation when he faced her.

"Not bad." These two short words were intended to pull apart the distance between them.

At this moment, Su Qian Xing had already seen Xiao Zhi and called Xiao Qing Ran over to the garden to chat.

Su Qianxing sat in front of the stone table and looked at the woman who was talking to him. His finger moved on the teacup as he smiled gently, "It's been a while since we last met. I should have come over to congratulate you on that day's sacrificial ceremony, but there were so many things to do, and I thought you must have been too busy to talk to me that day, so you delayed your visit for two days. Are you angry now?"

As Xiao Qing listened to his gentle whisper, she recalled the things he had done before and felt nauseous.

However, she wasn't happy at all. She just looked at him blandly, "How can that be? You're in the position of crown prince so naturally. How can I be angry at such a trivial matter?"

Su Qian Xing had been with her for a few years now, and he understood her character. She would never tell him such estranged words that were similar to dealing with red tape.

"Qingyi, what happened to you? Was he really angry? "Back then, there really was something that made me unable to come. Later on, I heard that you were almost bullied at the sacrificial ceremony, so I hurried over today. Fortunately, you …"

"It's a good thing you weren't here that day. Otherwise, wouldn't I have shamed His Highness?" Xiao Qing Ran smiled, her gaze cold and without light: "I believe you have heard about what happened that day, right? No, or rather, you already knew. "

Su Qianxing's heart sank and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Something flashed in his mind and he quickly answered, "Qingyi, did you misunderstand something?"

Although he had sent a message to Xiao Xiyu on purpose, he had done it in a very secretive manner, so she shouldn't have known.

"Did you misunderstand?" Xiao Qing chuckled and shook her head, "Su Qian Xing, you know that right now, I know you better than you do. I know what you want and want very well."

"I've only come here today to explain to you clearly that the feelings of being trampled on have already become filthy. It's useless no matter how you wash it off with clean water."

She was already tired. Even if she had changed her mind and was only acting, she didn't want this man to pinch her nose and drive her away.

She had done what she had to do. Perhaps the time had come for her to fight back.

This fake mask, this disgusting disguise, had already made her sick.

Su Qian Xing's heart skipped a beat. He knew that she probably knew something. He was only thinking of a way to salvage the situation but didn't care about the deeper meaning of 'the current me'. "Qing Yi, did someone tell you something? Don't listen to others.

There was a smile in the depths of Xiao Qing Ran's eyes, but that smile was filled with repressed ridicule.

I know, she knows.

Everything that had happened in the past few years, and everything that had happened in the future, she had carved a deep impression into her heart!

"Su Qianxing, I've never asked you this question before, but now I want to know." Xiao Qingyi looked at him: "If you really become an emperor, how will you arrange for me to be settled?"

Su Qian Xing was stunned for a moment before he continued, "Of course, if I become the emperor, you will be the last one! Haha, my gosh, it's really because of this matter that you're feeling troubled. Haven't I said this many times before? Have you never taken it seriously? "

"No, on the contrary."

She took it seriously. At that time, she really took it seriously.

She had even thought that even if this man was forced into the Three Palaces and Six Houses, as long as his heart was with her, she wouldn't care about his status.

But the facts proved that she was wrong.

That blade was extremely cold.

As for her, she did not want to experience it a second time.

"Qingyi, what happened to you today?" Su Qianxing frowned. This was the first time he felt uneasy.

This woman was clearly in front of his eyes, but it gave him a feeling that he couldn't touch her.

This time, Su Qian Xing was not mistaken.

"I'm a bit tired. The crown prince himself said that he was busy with official business, so it's best for him to return quickly. He shouldn't waste any time here because of me." Xiao Qing Qing didn't want to fall out with him, but she wasn't willing to maintain her composure on the surface like she had before.

Su Qian Xing saw her stand up and leave. In a moment of desperation, he stood up and said, "Qing Yi, wait a moment!"

The man took her by the arm and stood her at the edge of the pavilion.

He lowered his gaze slightly. "Are you angry because I haven't given you my title yet? "Last time, I told you that when you became the first wife, I would go and tell the mother about us and ask her to settle the engagement for us. You didn't believe me?"

Xiao Qingran did not say anything and only forcefully tore his wrist: "There is no doubt, it is just that there is no need."

No, that position was not needed for her, before or now.

This man had never known what he wanted.

It was the first time in years that such a quarrel had taken place between the two men.

In Su Qian Xing's eyes, this person in front of him was gentle and graceful. No matter what he did, he would always stand by her side.

But just then, Su Qian Xing suddenly felt that something had changed, leaving him with no time to react.

Seeing that person walking further and further away, Su Qian Xing was willing to believe that she was acting like a spoiled child like a normal woman.

Su Qian Xing's voice came from afar. It was a promise, but it was hard to tell if it was real or fake.

"Qingqing, don't worry. I'll definitely go to the imperial palace. You'll definitely get what you want …"

He seemed to have said something else, but Xiao Qing did not hear it clearly.

What she had decided would not change.

However, Xiao Qing Ran did not expect Su Qian Xing to really go to the palace.

Lan Ying retracted her servant, and frowned while looking at her only son who made her proud: "Are you really planning to marry Xiao Qing Ran? "You must know that even if she is now a direct descendant, she is still just an orphan. I've heard that she is not favoured in the palace."

Back then, when he had said that he needed Xiao Qing Ran, he had revealed that he liked that girl so that she could follow him wholeheartedly. Now that she had become the crown prince, she was no longer of any use.

"I know that the empress despises her identity, but she is still a direct descendant of the general's household. Xiao Zhi is a member of my faction, so letting her daughter be the mistress of my crown prince's household can be considered a form of roping in."

"And the Queen Mother is much more attractive than you think she is." Su Qianxing cupped his hands.

He hadn't noticed it before, especially in the past two days. He suddenly realized that he had never been able to see through her before. Perhaps she was even more outstanding than she looked.

"But …"

"Queen Mother, your son has done a great service by becoming the crown prince. Although I have ascended to the throne now, there are still two parties in the court. Su Qianhan's position was not shaken much. Your son still needs your help."

Lan Ying frowned and thought for a while. "I hope you know what you're doing. Don't forget her identity. If you become emperor in the future, her identity will be …"

Su Qianxing frowned and suddenly said in a cold and cautious tone, "Imperial Mother, this way, we shouldn't keep it a secret. If anyone else hears, it won't be good."

In the future, if he became the emperor, then … It was another story.

"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I won't speak carelessly." Lan Ying thought for a moment. "You can also let that girl enter the manor. She can only be a concubine. If you want to raise her value, you can only be the side concubine."

"As long as it's an imperial concubine, it's fine. I don't think Qing Qing would care about this." Su Qianxing heaved a sigh of relief and cupped his hands, "Then may I trouble Imperial Mother to find a chance to talk about this matter with Imperial Father."

"Of course I will give you what I want. You just need to be at ease and do your job properly, and the other mothers will help you deal with it."

"Thank you, Imperial Mother."

The mother and son duo in the room were talking to each other while some people were making a ruckus outside.

"What's third brother doing now?" This prince just so happened to not see third brother for a long time and also greeted him. Didn't this prince tell you to get out of the way? This dog slave actually dares to block me! "

Lan Ying frowned and asked, "What's going on outside?"

The Li mama by her side lowered her head and entered. "Esteemed Empress, the Fifth Prince has come."

"Qian Jie? What is he doing? "

Su Qian Xing's eyes flashed as he said in a low voice, "I heard that the Five Emperors have been running outside recently. I think they must have found something good to give to my mother. My mother might as well let him in, I haven't seen him for days."

"He spends his days wandering around without thinking. If I had half a mind like yours, it would be quite easy for me." Lan Ying waved her hand impatiently and ordered, "Go back to him. Tell him that I am currently discussing something important with the crown prince. If there is nothing important, he can come back another day."

"Yes." Lin mama accepted the order, clasped her hands, and withdrew.

Su Qian Xing was about to speak up for the man outside.

Su Qianjie, on the other hand, had already run into the guards outside. At the door, she bumped into Senior Servant Lin and stumbled. "Aiyo, Senior Servant watch out a bit, you're killing me."

"Aiya, my little ancestor. The empress said that we won't meet any guests for important matters today. Why did you barge in so recklessly?" Lin mama watched as Su Qianjie grew up. Compared to the crown prince that everyone praised, she genuinely loved this pitiful child in front of her. "Hurry and go back first, otherwise the empress will be angry."

"Did I come here just to greet Mother? I haven't seen Mother for over a month, please let me in. " There was a coquettish tone in Su Qian Jie's tone. Furthermore, his attitude when he was outside was completely different from the guards.
