The Fourth Lady

When Qingyan heard the voice, she turned around and saw the figure of Zhongli Jinyu. Looking at the things in her hands, Qingyan frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you and fourth brother, Jinyv? Are you sneaking out alone? Fourth brother doesn't know, does he?" "You're right. I don't know how to face his majesty for the time being. The best way now is to hide with you. I'm a little afraid of marrying him." said Zhongli Jinyv, nodding seriously.

Hearing this, Qingyan frowned and asked, "What are you worried about, Jinyv? Didn't fourth brother say that he would give the throne to Yvning in the future? Besides, you have always liked fourth brother, haven't you? Why do you flinch now?" Looking at Qingyan, Zhongli Jinyu didn't know what to say for a moment. Finally, she begged, "Yanyan, please take me to the Linan City. I haven't seen the scenery of the Linan City. I don't want to have any other regrets after I become the empress." Qingyan walked up to Zhongli Jinyu and hugged her. "Don't worry. I will take you with me. But it seems that you will stay here tonight?"

Hearing Qingyan's words, Zhongli Jinyv shook her luggage and said, "It took me a long time to get rid of the emperor's guards, but they should have known that I'm here, so they won't worry about me."

"You go back and prepare yourself well. Don't let anyone know about it. We'll leave tomorrow evening. I'll wait for you at the dock. Let's go to have fun." Qingyan continued.

Although Qingyan didn't know how long such a life could last, at least at this moment, she suddenly yearned for a free life.

When Hongyao appeared at the door of Qingyan's room, she saw Qingyan sitting alone on the swing in the yard, thinking about something. She walked to Qingyan and said with a smile, "Yanyan, what are you thinking about? Why are you so serious? Is there anything wrong?"

"It's a secret," said Qingyan smilingly.

Hongyao looked at Qingyan's face and patted her on the head. "But why is Jinyv here again? Hasn't she been living in the imperial palace all the time? Besides, they are going to get married next month, aren't they?"

Qingyan didn't know how to answer her question for a while. After a while, she said slowly, "Mother, do you know? Jinyv told me that she is afraid of marrying fourth brother. Since she is afraid of marrying fourth brother, I can't force her to continue to live in the imperial palace. Anyway, she is here with me, and fourth brother will definitely be relieved."

"Yes, it's true. But what are you thinking about? Now Jingxuan is entitled Shezhengwang, and your wedding date is set next year. Yanyan, is there anything wrong between you and Jingxuan?"

Hearing this, Qingyan shook her head with a smile. "Mother, you don't have to worry about what happened between me and Jingxuan. We've grown up. I know what I want and what I'm doing. It's not easy for me to get rid of Xuanyuan Yvfan. I must have a good rest now. Besides, they will deal with the affairs in the Diqiu City."

Then Hongyao touched Qingyan's head and said, "Huruo wants to see you. Why don't you spare some time to meet him? After all, he has been looking forward to your forgiveness."

"Mother, to be honest, I don't know how to face him. I know he is my biological father. It's father who helped us to end Xuanyuan Yvfan's matter so soon..." Qingyan looked at her Hongyao and said. After a pause, she continued, "Mom, you should understand what I mean, right?"

Hearing Qingyan's words, Amelia nodded and said, "I know, so he didn't force you to meet him. He asked me to find out what's going on. Yanyan, you can see him whenever you want. What do you think?"

Qingyan looked at Hongyao and nodded seriously. "Mother, can you tell him that I will go to the Linan City for a period of time? If we can meet in the Linan City, I will officially meet him. After all, he is my father, isn't he?"

Hearing Qingyan's words, Hongyao widened her eyes and asked, "You want to go to the Linan City? Are you going to the Linan City alone without telling Jingxuan? You should know that they have been dealing with the problem left by the elder emperor these days. They often go out early and return late these days."

Qingyan looked at Hongyao and nodded seriously. "I'm going to the Linan City alone. How about you go with us? Although we don't need anyone to take care of us, it would be better if mom is here."

Hongyao looked at Qingyan and held Qingyan in her arms with a smile. "Okay! Are you going to take the carriage or the waterway?"

Qingyan looked at her and said with a smile, "I've inquired about the waterway from Qinglong before. At that time, we'll just take it as a trip and don't want too many people to know our identity. It's also a private visit. After all, fourth brother has just ascended the throne, and there must be a lot of things that we don't know about the folk. Wouldn't it be better if we go to visit the folk now!"

Hongyao looked at Qingyan doted and said, "Okay! I have been in the Linan City for a period of time. It is indeed a paradise on earth."

"Mother, you know what? I've been thinking about what happened on the Baihua Island for so long. Although I'm not their biological daughter, they have raised me up. Although I know you now, I want to stay here all the time. After the world is united, I want to go back to the Baihua Island with Jingxuan. If you also want to go back with us, it's okay. I want to live an idyllic life.

Hongyao took Qingyan's hand and said with a smile, "I think so too. If he has helped you complete your task, he will certainly help you if you still need him. After all, it's not easy to unify the world. Yanyan, before returning to the Baihua Island, I will accompany you and never leave you again."

Qingyan hugged Hongyao and said, "Mother, I'm really happy to hear that. Sometimes I'm worried that you will leave me again. That's also the reason why I don't know how to face him. I think you can understand what I mean, right?" ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
