On the way back to the Qi Prince's Mansion, Dashuang asked Liu Qingyan nervously, "Princess, if the guard said, there was a maid who said you were not in front of Nangong Hui. Who was that maid, but if you took it seriously, there would be any bad consequences, right?"

"The consequences are of course not very good, but we have nothing to do with it." Liu Qingyan said seriously.

"No, there is no way, then are you just waiting for Nangong Hui to bully you?" Dashuang said indignantly.

Liu Qingyan couldn't help laughing: "Da Shuang, aren't you still by my side?" Seeing Da Shuang's face full of anxiety and confusion, Liu Qingyan sighed and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, my Da Shuang. I won't have anything to do."

"But I'm still very worried..." Dashuang frowned his eyebrows.

Liu Qingyan smiled and said, "Then I'll ask you, Dashuang. If Nangong Hui was really angry and wanted to cause trouble for me, and you were by my side, would you protect me?"

Dashuang nodded very firmly: "I will definitely protect the princess."

This is not only because she agreed to Lu Siguan, but also because she really doesn't want anything to happen to the princess she likes. Now she has no sister, and the one she wants to protect is Princess Qi.

Liu Qingyan sighed and said, "Then look, since you promised to protect me, are you still worried about what happened to me?"

Dashuang frowned and wanted to say something else, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of Prince Qi's mansion.

The two got off the carriage together and returned to the mansion. Liu Qingyan originally thought that Nangong Hui would come to her, but she did not see Nangong Hui's people and they were always at peace that day. This was a bit strange to Liu Qingyan.

On the next day and the third day, Nangong Hui did not come to him, so Liu Qingyan became even more strange.

Gui Jianchou, who found something wrong with her and asked her with great concern, was a little surprised: "Isn't that a good thing if she doesn't come to cause trouble for you? Why do you seem very anxious? Princess, you are so strange."

"It is because she doesn't come to settle the score with me that I feel it's too strange." Liu Qingyan curled her lips.

"Why do you say that? Princess, do you still eagerly hope that she will come here?" Gui Jianchou asked.

Liu Qingyan nodded: "Yes, I really hope she comes to me and do whatever she wants to do to me. As long as this matter is over, I will be very nervous. She hasn't come yet."

After a pause, Liu Qingyan asked again: "It's like you, your good master Jin Cuodang has never come to settle the score with you and has never been willing to take you away. Aren't you nervous? Besides, we still don't know what he wants to take you away for now."

Gui Jianchou sighed and lowered his eyes: "Yes, I don't know why they came to take me away. What kind of secret is there in me..."

While both of them were very sighing, Dashuang entered the study and said, "Princess, Lord Guijianchou, Your Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." While speaking, she frowned, as if there was something unhappy about it.

"Please, please." Liu Qingyan raised her eyebrows in surprise, naturally not refusing, nor did she notice something was wrong with Dashuang.

"Yes." As soon as Dashuang finished speaking, he walked out of the door and nodded to the people outside, and saw the prince and Nangong Hui one after another, and walked into the study. This was also the reason why Dashuang was shaking his eyebrows when he announced the news. Unfortunately, Liu Qingyan didn't notice this.

It is understandable that the prince came here, but why did Nangong Hui follow him together?

As soon as Liu Qingyan took a deep breath and was about to get up to salute, Nangong Hui's voice sounded: "It's really the Princess of Qi, and her airs are getting bigger and bigger. Look, even if the Prince's Palace is down, she has to report to come in."

"Hui'er." The prince's face changed slightly, and he turned around and glared at her.

Nangong Hui did not admit his mistake, but just snorted, turned her face away, and did not take Liu Qingyan seriously.

Liu Qingyan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it's true that I'm rude. The Prince's Palace came down here and did not know beforehand. I really don't have the ability to know the unknown. I would like to ask His Highness to atone for his sins."

The prince waved his hand: "What does this matter? Princess, please don't take this matter too much."

Liu Qingyan nodded slightly, smiling and not speaking.

Nangong Hui, who was on the other side, spoke again: "All married women are still pregnant, but they sit with their subordinates. While the King of Qi is not at home, this is really something that can be done. Maybe this child is not from the King of Qi."

Liu Qingyan frowned, Gui Jianchou turned his face coldly, and the prince turned his head and scolded Nangong Hui and said, "Hui'er! Are you here with me today to say these words?"

Nangong Hui curled her lips and stopped talking, but just walked aside and sat down.

"Princess, Hui'er sometimes speaks like this. Please don't take it too seriously." The prince said respectfully to Liu Qingyan.

Liu Qingyan smiled and said with a look of "I am very high-quality, so I won't bother with you" and said with a smile: "It's not a problem. After all, Miss Nangong is still a child, and I really don't know if I should say or not." She nodded to the prince: "Please sit down, prince. It's too tiring to stand all the time. If you have anything to come to me, please tell me."

The prince sat down obediently and said to Liu Qingyan: "This morning, the mother announced the news of her father's death."

It was something that Liu Qingyan had expected, and she was not too surprised. She just nodded and continued to wait for the prince to continue talking.

The prince was not surprised to see Liu Qingyan. After thinking about it a few days ago, the queen specially made an appointment with Liu Qingyan to see him in the palace. I guess Liu Qingyan was also involved in the discussion on this matter. He sighed and said, "The government and the people are shocked, and as the prince, the throne is naturally inherited by me. However, I have to keep mourning for half a month before I can ascend the throne."

"This is all right." Liu Qingyan nodded.

When the late emperor dies, the prince will naturally not be able to ascend the throne immediately. The emperor needs to be respected very much.

The prince said: "That's true. Three days later, the father was to be buried in the imperial tomb, and all the concubines were to be buried with him. Many ministers in the court and the country agreed that the King of Qi was a person who was very recognized by the father back then. If the father wanted to be buried in the imperial tomb, then the King of Qi must be present..."

"But the King of Qi is now fighting against the Khitans on the frontier." Liu Qingyan looked at the prince.

"Yes, so, I mean, see if the princess can hold on for a while and go to the funeral." said the prince.

Gui Jianchou interrupted, "The princess is pregnant, and it may cause discomfort when she goes to the funeral. Although it is not so hot now, it is a state funeral, and everything is complicated and extremely tiring. When the princess goes, she may feel discomfort."

The prince sighed: "I am making this plan."

Nangong Hui snorted coldly and said, "The first emperor went to the battlefield when he went to the battle. The queen was pregnant on the battlefield, didn't she persist? Later, the queen gave birth to our crown prince."

After pausing, Nangong Hui looked at Liu Qingyan and said, "What? Is the princess really so weak? Do you really can't stand it, or do you look down on our royal family and don't want to go there together?"

"Hui'er!" The prince glared at Nangong Hui again.

But this time, Nangong Hui did not bow to him, but said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, this funeral is so important to you, and the words of those ministers are so ugly. It seems that it would be impossible without him in the world, but now I just want to ask her to attend a funeral. Is that not possible? It is really the King of Qi family who is the only one with great achievements. Even Your Highness should not take it seriously!"

Gui Jianchou frowned and said coldly: "I don't know where Miss Nangong learned that, the princess doesn't take His Highness the Crown Prince seriously?"

"Isn't it obvious? It's just a funeral, or the funeral of the late emperor. His Royal Highness came to invite him in person, but he couldn't even invite him?" Nangong Hui looked cold-eyed.

"Okay," Liu Qingyan suddenly spoke and interrupted the two people who were controversial. "It's just a funeral. I naturally want to go there. I don't say whether I'm tired or not, and I can't afford to eat. Miss Nangong is right. After all, it's the funeral of the late emperor. If I don't go, I'm really sorry."

"But..." Gui Jianchou was a little angry.

Liu Qingyan shook her head at him, looked at the prince, and smiled and said, "Your Highness, please don't be surprised. It's the group of friends around me who are too concerned about me."

The prince also smiled and said, "No obstacle, no obstacle."

After chatting for a few more words and sending the prince away, Gui Jianchou was still a little puzzled: "Princess, aren't you worried about your body? The child is old or small, and he can't stand the tossing at all."

"But what else can I do?" Liu Qingyan touched her belly with a wry smile, "After that it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He wants me to attend the funeral, and I can't refuse."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince asked you to go?" Gui Jianchou was a little surprised. Didn't the one who said those words just now?
