Chapter 20 - Do I look good?

Xiao Qingqian stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the vast and serene night sky.

It was as if his eyes were shrouded in mist, making it hard to guess what he was thinking.

After standing for a while, he went straight to Tian Sisi's chamber.

Before he got close, he heard curses coming from inside.

This kind of Tian Sisi made Xiao Qingqian feel extremely unfamiliar!

He took a deep breath and decided to see for himself what Wei Qing was doing now.

*

In the bedroom.

Wei Qing couldn't fall asleep, so she turned her head to look at Die'er, who was sound asleep on the table, and helped her put on a set of clothes.

Die'er had also been tormented quite a bit, to the point that she didn't notice it at all.

She felt that the chamber was simply too oppressive, so she put on her clothes and left the chamber.

Just as he went out, he saw Xiao Qingqian.

She pinched the space between her eyebrows and was stunned for a moment before recovering her composure. ”Why is the prince here at this time?”

Xiao Qingqian did not expect Wei Qing to actually come out, and his expression stiffened a bit. ”Princess, you can get off the ground so quickly?”

Wei Qing could naturally hear the ridicule in the depths of his words, and she lightly pursed her lips, ”This sleeping quarters is too stuffy, I can't fall asleep!”

”Why can't she sleep?”

”It seems like Concubine Tian has spent a lot of brain cells, so I can't fall asleep!” Wei Qing retorted snappily.

Brain cells?

A flash of astonishment appeared in Xiao Qingqian's eyes. What was that?

Wei Qing swept a glance over him, ”Your highness has come at the wrong time, I'm afraid that even the cup of hot tea is gone!”

The meaning behind his words was to send the guest away in a tactful manner.

On the other hand, Xiao Qingqian seemed to be pretending to be confused with her. He raised his eyebrows and said, ”Since Princess Hua-Yang can't sleep and feels bored in the chamber, then accompany me for a walk!”

”Ah?!”

Wei Qing thought that she had misheard, and judged him by looking at him in a way that didn't seem like a joke.

”Is the wangfei deaf?”

Although Xiao Qingqian spoke each word sarcastically, Wei Qing did not mind.

He's not his own person!

If he was angry for someone who didn't care, someone who wasn't related, someone who cared, Wei Qing would really be an idiot!

”I'm feeling a bit dizzy. Your Highness, you should walk by yourself!” With that said, Wei Qing turned and left.

Xiao Qingqian's five fingers formed a claw, accurately grabbing onto Wei Qing's shoulder.

”Hiss — —” Wei Qing bared her teeth, ”Does Your Highness not know how to show mercy to the fairer sex?”

For some reason, these four words that came out of Wei Qing's mouth made Xiao Qingqian want to laugh.

Catching the smile in his eyes, Wei Qing blinked his eyes, thinking that maybe he was holding back something bad!

”This King is most annoyed by the people who give me face but do not want it!” Finished, he pulled Wei Qing and left.

Caught off guard, Wei Qing almost fell to the ground.

Xiao Qingqian's eyes trembled. He wrapped his arm around her waist and actually tightly held her in his embrace, preventing her from falling down.

She held her chest and let out a long sigh.
