Chapter 62.2 â Overflowing Jealousy
Of course, Qi Yang didnât know about Spring Breeze Pavilionâs number one star, but she didnât doubt Lu Qipeiâs words. The contact between the Third Princeâs consort and Qin Qing was intriguing.
Watching the two separate, Qin Qingâs graceful figure soon disappeared in the same direction she originally came from, while the Third Princeâs consort walked a few steps anxiously in the same place, before finally leaving towards the main hall.
Qi Yang took Lu Qipei by the hand and found another secluded place. Then she asked, âAh Pei, tell me. Why would my Third Brotherâs consort meet privately with Qin Qing in Huguo Temple?â
Lu Qipei still had some lingering fears when Qi Yang mentioned Qin Qing, so she thought for a long time before saying, âMaybe itâs because of the Third Prince.â
Did the Third Prince play around in the brothel and ended up provoking this courtesan queen, and now she sought the princeâs consort to get an explanation? Ordinary people wouldnât have the courage to do so.
Plus, right now the Third Prince was facing danger in the northern border. If this was about a love affair, the Third Princeâs consort wouldnât have the mind to care about it.
And although the two were distracted before, they also noticed Qin Qing and the Third Princeâs consortâs posture when they were talking. They were clearly talking as equals, and it was even Qin Qing that dominated the conversation.
What kind of situation would make a princeâs consort be dominated by a brother girl? Although the Third Princeâs consort was a little weak, she was born with a good background and wasnât chosen arbitrarily. Unless, the other party was representing another force.
Qi Yang immediately understood. With the experience from her previous life as reference, it wasnât difficult to guess which force was targeting the Third Prince. She immediately looked at Lu Qipei with a complicated expression. âAh Pei, tell me the truth. Is your family still involved in the brothel business?â
Lu Qipeiâs head almost exploded when she heard this. She quickly said, âI donât, Iâm not! I only do honest business!â
Her panicked appearance wasnât faked at all. Qi Yang who originally didnât care couldnât help but curve her lips and smile. In fact, itâs just because her mind was switching gears too fast. She had just seen Qin Qing and already thought about so many things that Lu Qipei couldnât keep up with her thoughts â well, maybe it wasnât that she couldnât keep up, but she was just simply afraid that Qi Yangâs jealousy would explode again.
Lu Qipeiâs tense nerves finally relaxed slightly when she saw Qi Yangâs smile. However, she still explained seriously, âSpring Breeze Pavilion really has nothing to do with me. The businesses that Qi Bo gave me are very clean.â After a pause, she added again, âHowever, the information Qi Bo gave me has always been limited. And Xie Yuanâs contact in Liang might be more than just a single Lu family.â
That was what she said, but in reality, their heads had been filled with Xie Yuanâs plot recently, and they couldnât help but think too much about everything. Maybe there was another reason between the Third Princeâs consortâs meeting with Qin Qing, and it wasnât related at all?
Plus, the water in the capital was deep. It was not necessarily Xie Yuanâs people who contacted the Third Princeâs consort.
Qi Yang nodded with a thoughtful look, âIâll have the spies monitor Spring Breeze Pavilion later, maybe there will be another harvest.â After that, her beautiful eyes suddenly turned as she abruptly said, âOr should I got to see it myself?â
Lu Qipeiâs starry eyes widened when she heard this.
Seeing this, Qi Yangâs eyes flashed with a smile, and she touched Lu Qipeiâs face with a serious look. âAh Pei just so happens to be familiar with the road, how about you take me there?â
Lu Qipeiâs expression changed again when she heard this, both angry and scared. She thought about the scene tomorrow when the Royal Editor makes a report that the future Prince Consort took Princess Qi Yang to the brothel. What kind of scene would it be? She couldnât even imagine it!
However, Lu Qipei was obviously more concerned about the matter itself than being reported by the Royal Editor. She immediately frowned and grabbed the little hand that was caressing her face and held it firmly. âPrincess, donât make such a joke. Iâm not going to play along with you at all.â
She didnât even shout at Ah Ning, obviously very flustered.
Qi Yang tried to move her wrist, be she could not get rid of her grip, so she had to stretch out her other hand and pinch Lu Qipeiâs cheek. âWhat? Are you the only one allowed to go, and Iâm not allowed to broaden my horizons?â
Hearing this, Lu Qipeiâs steam immediately escaped like punctured balloon, and she shrank back a little. But she immediately worked herself up again. She still didnât speak and held onto Qi Yang, looking at her lover with an angry and sour look.
Qi Yang was finally satisfied. Her eyes that were hiding a smile curved up and she sighed, pretending to compromise. âFine, fine, Iâll listen to you. I wonât go.â After that, she looked at Lu Qipei and added, âItâs not easy to leave the palace, and I need to go back before the gates are closed. In fact, I donât have the time to learn about this, what a pity.â
Because she cared about it too much, Lu Qipei hadnât had the time to think about it deeply. After hearing this, she realized that Qi Yang was only messing with her. She felt a little annoyed and a little amused, but she soon understood Qi Yangâs intention. It was useless for her to explain things carefully to Qi Yang â the petty Royal Highnessâs jealousy had exploded, and she insisted on making others feel jealous too.
Lu Qipei, who had not stopped feeling sour inside, gave her an angry look. She finally released her grip on Qi Yang, but it turned out Qi Yang was the one that didnât let go this time. She inserted her fingers between Lu Qipeiâs, interlocking them together.
Her Royal Highness The Princess blinked her eyes, rubbed her thumb on the back of Lu Qipeiâs hand, and said in a serious tone, âOkay, enough chitchat. After the long delay, letâs get down to business.â
Author notes:
Qi Yang (hmph!): I live in the palace right now, and have no time to expand my horizons. Wait until I leave the palace and build a mansionâ¦
Lu Qipei (sourly): What do you want after leaving the palace and building a mansion?
Qi Yang (hugging her Prince Consort and kissing her): After getting married and leaving the palace, of course, I want to live my life happily with you!
