“Then I will take my leave!” Xi’er hurriedly exited, feeling frustrated. The Wang Fei was overly kind, welcoming a concubine so generously. If it were her, she wouldn’t show such friendliness. Even if Wang Ye married Yi Qing, she was still just a concubine—how could the Wang Fei be so accommodating?
Touching the soft clothing, Yi Qing smiled faintly. This was the first precious gift she had ever received, filling her heart with warmth.
Pressing her cheek against the clothes and remembering Xi’er’s gaze, she furrowed her brow. Walking to the window, the wind grew stronger, and the moon hid behind the clouds with a few flickering stars.
“Good morning, Wang Fei!” Xi’er woke up early to serve the Wang Fei as instructed by the Wang Ye. Just as she picked up a towel, she saw the Wang Fei approaching in a white dress.
“Good morning, Xi’er! Is breakfast ready? Where is my husband?” She realized her husband was not beside her. Although breakfast with Yi Qing was not a big deal, to avoid suspicion about her identity, she needed her husband to introduce her.
“The meal is being prepared! Wang Fei, I don’t quite understand!” Having been frozen by the cold wind all night, she woke up early, hoping to ask the Wang Fei something while the Wang Ye was not around.
“Huier, check if the kitchen is ready for meals! Also, call Miss Yiqing! Remember to smile, don’t let her sense anything wrong!” Standing up, she brushed off the snowflakes from her skirt, glanced into the distance, then turned and left.
“Yes!” Although dissatisfied, Xi’er respected the Wang Fei and would never betray her wishes.
She could only force a smile and receive this “living Bodhisattva.”
“Ling’er Miss!” Yiqing arrived, her hairpin dazzling in the sunlight. Today she wore a pink-blue dress, her straight black hair hanging on her shoulders, her face slightly blushing. Her bright pupils, curved eyebrows, and long eyelashes gave her an enchanting look.
“Miss Yiqing, please sit here!” With a kind smile, she admired Yiqing’s beauty, realizing she seemed even more elegant today.
“Have you eaten?” As Yiqing sat down, Dongfang Ce followed, removing his sword and handing it to Huier before sitting beside the two women.
“Elder Brother!” Lan Ling’er called out awkwardly.
