Chapter 659 The Undercurrent (1/2)

It was not until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon that the bed curtain was lifted. Luo Qingyan stretched out his hand to pick up the clothes on the ground and put them on. He picked up the robe on the stool and put it on before he walked out of the inner room.

In the outer room, Qin Yi was sitting on the chair embroidering a pair of shoes. From the size of them, it seemed that they were for a small child. The shoes had a delicate yellow tiger head embroidered on them.

Standing aside and looking at her doing her work for a while, Luo Qingyan asked, ”for whom?”

Qin Yi hadn't noticed Luo Qingyan's sudden appearance. Hearing his sudden voice, she was startled and the needle nearly went out of her hand. Qin Yi quickly put the shoes into the embroidery basket, stood up, and bowed to Luo Qingyan and greeted softly, ”Your Highness.”

Luo Qingyan nodded his head, and pointed to the shoes in the embroidered basket, ”you made it for whom?”

Qin Yi smiled and said, ”it's made for the little prince or princess. I don't know whether it is a boy or a girl. I've embroidered a pair of flowers before, and now I'm making this little tiger on another pair.”

Luo Qingyan nodded as if absorbed in thought. After a while, he asked, ”why haven't I seen Shang'er doing embroidery?”

Qin Yi, hearing his words, hurriedly answered, ”Your Highness, her highness has grown up without being around lady Jin, so no one ever taught her how to do embroidery. Later, his majesty sent her to the Ningguo temple for recuperation. She didn't return to the palace until she came of age. If your highness wants to have something embroidered or make clothes, just tell me... ”

Only then did Luo Qingyan realize that Qin Yi might have misunderstood what he meant. ”It's just that I haven't seen shang'er doing anything like this, so I'm just asking. I don't know how shang'er looks like when she is doing embroidery.” Then he laughed as if he was amused by his own words.

Qin Yi noticed that Luo Qingyan did not seem to be angry, so she quickly changed the subject, ”Your Highness has not eaten anything. I'll ask someone to prepare some food.”

Luo Qingyan nodded his head and said, ”call me in the study when the food is ready.” Then he intended to go out. But when he reached the door, he turned around and said, ”wake up her highness when the food is ready. She must be hungry because she didn't even have lunch.”

Qin Yi said yes, watching Luo Qingyan go out of the room, and then told the maids to get ready.
