BXBX NOVEL Chapter 406 - 406: Flirting
She leaned over and stared at him seriously. Suddenly, she put her hands on his cheeks and couldn’t help but rub them a few times. She coaxed him without any sincerity, “I’m sorry, did I hurt you? Then I’ll help you rub it now, it won’t hurt anymore.”
As she spoke, she gently blew on his cheek.
Ming Zhiyan was tickled by her blowing, and he looked at Jian Qingqing’s face close to him. He did not know what he thought of, but his face turned even redder.
He suddenly let go of her hand and said shyly, “Men and women shouldn’t touch each other!”
Jian Qingqing did not let him off and kept pinching his face.
“I just want to touch you, I just want to touch you!’
It was a rare opportunity. How could Jian Qingqing let him go?
As the two of them played around, Ming Zhiyan’s drunkenness dissipated a little.
Suddenly, Princess Anning’s excited voice was heard, “Qingqing! When are we going out to play?”
Jian Qingqing stretched out her hands to catch Princess Anning’s body that was running over and said, “Wait a moment, I still have to pay my respects to the Empress.”
Princess Anning urged, “Then quickly go! Mother was still talking to the madams! You don’t know, my Aunt Yanhe has been staying in my Imperial
Mother’s palace and doesn’t want to leave. I don’t know what she wants to do.”
After she finished speaking, she noticed Ming Zhiyan who was sitting at the side. She stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, Cousin. I was just saying things casually.”
Even though Ming Zhiyan did not reply, he still sat there in a daze, thinking about something.
Jian Qingqing glanced at him and comforted Princess Anning. “It’s fine. He’s drunk and didn’t hear us.”
Princess Anning patted her chest in relief. “That’s good.”
Although Ming Zhiyan was sitting there in a daze, he could still hear everything they said.
He sighed in his heart. As expected, drinking would make things worse. If he had known, he would not have drunk so much.
Thinking of how he had played with Jian Qingqing just now, he did not know how to face her. He simply continued to pretend to be drunk and said that he didn’t remember when he woke up.
He tried his best to act like a drunkard, ignoring the abnormal beating of his heart.
At this moment, the Emperor walked out and saw Jian Qingqing and Princess Anning playing around. He laughed and said, “I wonder when the two Princesses will be leaving the palace?
Princess Anning looked at Jian Qingqing with anticipation.
“Wait a minute,” Jian Qingqing replied. “I’ll go out after I see the Empress.”
The sky was already dark, and they could see the lantern show when they went out.
The Emperor pondered for a moment and said to Ming Zhiyan, “Zhiyan, are you free later? Help me look after the two of them. It’s too chaotic outside during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I’m is afraid that there will be some bandits.”
Ming Zhiyan stood up and said with clear eyes, “This subject understands.” “Mm, you guys have fun.” The Emperor nodded.
After the Emperor left, Jian Qingqing curiously walked around Ming Zhiyan and asked with regret, “Brother Ming, did you sober up so quickly?”
Ming Zhiyan was speechless for a moment. He thought of what had happened just now and hurriedly said, “You and the Princess can go ahead with your work. I’ll go and prepare for the trip later.”
After he finished speaking, he immediately walked away quickly. His hurried back looked like he was fleeing.
Princess Anning looked at her cousin’s back and then looked at Jian Qingqing. She asked in confusion, ‘Qingqing, what’s wrong with Cousin?
“It’s fine,” Jian Qingqing smiled. “He’s just shy.”
“Oh.” Princess Anning did not think much and said, “I’m sorry..” Let’s go, we need to quickly see Mother and then go out to play!’
