C64 Long Ice Step (1/2)

Now was the time to show Shangguan Wan's ability, the huge harem was arranged in a neat and orderly manner, and the bestowal of the empress dowager was being prepared in an orderly fashion.

Qi He would occasionally make a trip to the Phoenix Return Hall, but he would leave immediately after speaking a few words. The distance between him and Luo Chen became further and further apart.

The young prince had been depressed ever since he came back. He didn't do anything, probably because of his emotional trauma.

The culprits, Wei and Princess, brought three of her favorite dogs with them to visit Zhaoping at King's Mansion in Ningkang.

She remembered the last time she came to the Ning Kang Manor. It was when she was very young, so she didn't have a deep memory of it. Now that she looked at it, it was indeed big and luxurious.

When King Ning Kang heard that the princess had arrived, he hurriedly went out to welcome her. ”This little king pays his respects to Your Highness.”

King Ning Kang didn't have royal blood. He had been promoted to the throne by the late emperor because he had rendered meritorious services to the imperial government. Therefore, he still had to bow to the emperor's niece.

”Your Highness need not be so courteous.” Qi He revealed the pure smile that a young girl should have. It was as warm as the spring wind.

”Why is Young Prince Zhao Ping not here?” Wei He looked behind King Ningkang, but there was no one there.

”My son has recently lost his appetite and is depressed, so he rarely goes out. I hope that you can forgive him, Princess.” There was nothing that could be done about it, his son was indeed sincere to Princess Wei and her, but the princess just didn't like him, what could he do to call himself a father? It couldn't be another forced marriage, could it?

Wei He knew that she absolutely could not be forced to do something she did not want to do.

Qi He shook his head. ”Your Highness is too serious.”

The two chatted as they walked towards Zhao Ping's room. Behind them were three maids carrying small dogs.

When they reached the door, King Ning Kang knocked on it. ”Ping'er, Qi and the princess have come to see you.”

Just as he finished speaking, the door opened, revealing a haggard and emaciated face.

Although he had been hurt by her once, he still couldn't change the habit of liking her.

”Then Little Wang will take his leave first.” As for the matter of the young people, he still let them settle it, so King Kang Ning tactfully left.

Qi He introduced, ”This dog is called Bing Bing, this dog is called Long Long. That dog is called Bu Bu, don't you think they are cute? I know that you are not in a good mood, so I came here to give them to you. Of all the dogs I have, only the three of them are the most lively, so I'm sure they can bring you joy. ”

The maidservant placed the dog on the ground, and sure enough, after a while, the three dogs began to run around, extremely lively.

”Thank you, Your Highness.” Zhao Ping bowed, but his eyes were still filled with desolation. How great would it be if she could give him her heart? He had liked her for so long, but nothing came of it.

”Why would I talk about favors with you? Aren't we best friends?” Somehow, she had added the word ”friend” to their relationship.

Zhao Ping welcomed her into the room and they sat down facing each other.

”I can see that the princess likes Luo Chen.” Although he didn't want to talk about that person, that person stole his beloved Qi He.

The smile on Qi He's face suddenly disappeared. ”Everything is fine. Why are you mentioning him?”

She did not deny it, so Zhaoping's words were correct.

”I'm just very curious. We grew up together, yet why did you fall for him in just a few short days?”

Emotions were truly marvelous. Even if you were to walk in front of her eyes every day, if she didn't like you, then everything you did would be useless. This was the tyranny of love.
