After this frolic, the two of them were actually very clear what kind of situation they would face next.
In the royal study, Wei Ziye took the towel handed over by the servant and wiped the wet spots on his body. He looked at Chang 'an, who had already cleaned up, and said," You know about the competition, right?”
Chang An looked at Wei Ziye with a hesitant gaze and nodded." Yes."”
"Any ideas?" Wei Ziye asked. His face was expressionless, and he was a completely different person from the smiling Wei Ziye from before.
Chang An frowned, not understanding how a person could change his face so quickly.
"No!"
Wei Ziye stared into Chang 'an's eyes and looked at her seriously." I want you to win first place."”
"Why?"
" You just have to do as I say…" Wei Ziye didn't want to tell Chang 'an, but Chang' an's eyes were filled with suspicion. She didn't trust him, the son of Wei. Wei Ziye could tell that he didn't want to force Chang 'an to do anything, so he explained,""Could it be that you think the Empress will let that matter go?”
When Wei Ziye asked this question, Chang 'an hesitated. She knew that the Empress would never let it go. However, she knew that if she really listened to Wei Ziye and won first place, then her future fate might completely change.
"Why should I believe you?"
Chang 'an felt that Wei Ziye's words were not entirely for her sake. As her mother had said, he was the son of the State of Wei. Why should he care so much about a noble woman of the State of Qi who was not related to him?
" Heh--" Wei Ziye sneered. He felt that Chang 'an's words were childish. This was the first time in his life that he was questioned--why should he believe him? He probably never needed anyone to believe in any of his decisions!
"You can choose not to believe it! At that time, don't come to me for help. After all, I'm not who you are. I can't satisfy your requests every time, right?”
Wei Ziye glanced at Chang 'an with disdain.
"Sure!" Chang An said decisively after Wei Ziye glanced at her," I'll try my best."”
It did not mean that as long as she wanted to get first place, she would be able to get first place. Chang 'an could only say that she had tried her best when facing Wei Ziye's request.
"Good! In that case, let's go now!"
Wei Ziye threw the face cloth in his hand to the servant and pulled Chang An out. Chang An had not reacted to what Wei Ziye meant by this and had already come outside.
"Where are we going?"
Actually, she was a little disgusted by Wei Ziye's habit of holding her hand, so her tone was not very good.
"Let's go to the 'Dream of the Red Chamber'!"
"Hey-"
Just like that, Chang 'an was brought to the Red Chamber by Wei Ziye in a daze. In fact, there was no preliminary selection at all. The young ladies from the families of various ministers and wealthy businessmen were all here...
"You want to go in with me?" Chang An glanced at Wei Ziye, expressing his doubt.
Wei Ziye glanced at Chang An." The competition will start soon.”
"Ah?" Chang 'an was surprised. He did not expect it to come so quickly." Are we starting now?”
"That's right! Why else do you think I brought you here now?”Wei Ziye replied calmly," Almost. What should have come has already come…"
When Wei Ziye finished speaking, Chang An turned around and someone called out to her.
"Sister, you're here too! That's great…"
Lin Changning!
Wei Ziye also turned around and saw Lin Changning happily calling out Chang 'an's name. He stood aside expressionlessly.
Chang 'an responded to Lin Changning indifferently," Oh, sister is here too..."
Her attitude was too cold. Lin Changning felt that she did not do anything that would make Chang 'an suspicious. Although she and Qi Muyuan liked each other, Chang' an did not know about it, right?
Lin Changning walked to Chang 'an's side and looked at him for a while before asking,""Sister doesn't seem very happy?"
Chang 'an looked at Lin Changning in confusion." Sister, how did you know? I'm not unhappy!"
"..." Lin Changning could tell that Chang 'an was unhappy, but Chang' an did not admit it, so she had nothing to say. She glanced at Wei Ziye who was beside Chang 'an.
Lin Changning almost couldn't look away.
He was just a man, and it was their first time meeting.
However, this man had a unique temperament. He had deep eyes, his features were carved into the distant mountains, and his well-defined facial features revealed a determined personality. However, these were not eye-catching. There was also a kind of king's aura that made you inexplicably submit. Just standing there made people feel that they were looking down on the world.
This man was definitely not from the Kingdom of Qi. Even someone as handsome as Qi Muyuan would pale in comparison to this man, right?
"Young Lady, why do you keep staring at me?”Wei Ziye noticed that Lin Changning's gaze had been on him for too long and was a little impatient." What's on my face?"”
Lin Changning's face suddenly turned red. He shook his head and hurriedly said,""No, no…"
Strange. Lin Changning didn't know if there was something wrong with her senses. The man in front of her clearly only addressed himself as " you " and not as " Your Highness " or " Young Master ", but she still felt that he seemed to be addressing himself as " I ".
"…I just lost my composure for a moment. I hope Young Master doesn't take it to heart. Don't blame me…"
"Yes!"
Wei Ziye only uttered a syllable from his nose. He actually did not have much dislike for Lin Changning's loss of composure. If it was in the past, he would have left long ago.
Chang 'an finally remembered that Wei Ziye had never met Lin Changning before. However, when Chang' an thought of this, he felt that he was overthinking. So what if he had met?
"Let's go!"
Wei Ziye glanced at Lin Changning, but it was just a casual glance. Then he said to Chang 'an,""You should go and dress up."
"Okay, let's go." Chang An followed behind Wei Ziye to dress up.
When he left, he didn't say goodbye to Lin Changning. Lin Changning looked at the backs of Chang 'an and Wei Ziye, and a feeling of jealousy grew in his heart...
" Hi-" Suddenly, someone patted Lin Changning's shoulder. When he turned around and saw that it was Qi Muyuan, the jealousy in his heart eased a lot.
"Chang Ning!"
" Your Highness..." Lin Changning bowed politely." What brings you here?"”
" I'm here to see you…" Qi Muyuan looked at Lin Changning." But, you seem to have something on your mind?"”
Lin Changning was actually a little hesitant. He did not know if he should tell Qi Muyuan about this. After hesitating for a while, he finally felt that it was better to tell him." I…"
She hesitated and glanced at Qi Muyuan.
"What's wrong?"
"I have an idea to share with you.”Lin Changning signaled Qi Muyuan to find a quiet place with his eyes.
Qi Muyuan and Lin Changning went to the bamboo forest not far away. Actually, Lin Changning could have done it herself without telling Qi Muyuan. However, she wanted to see Qi Muyuan's reaction. If Qi Muyuan was completely against it, she would not have given up.
There was only one chance. If he missed it, he did not know how long he would have to wait.
Even if Qi Muyuan distanced himself from her or ignored her because of this, Lin Changan would not stand a chance, would he?
After Lin Changning told Qi Muyuan about her thoughts and plans, Qi Muyuan suddenly looked at her with a strange gaze, and his tone became much more distant.
"Why would you have such an idea?”It was unbelievable. How could she treat her own sister so cruelly?
Lin Changning looked at Qi Muyuan's gaze and knew that Qi Muyuan would definitely disagree. However, it seemed that it was more serious than he had expected.
"Is this plan not thorough enough?”
Qi Muyuan took a step back and shook his head. He looked at Chang 'an in disbelief." Don't you think it's cruel? She's not someone else. Lin Chang 'an-isn't she your biological sister?”
"That's right! Just because she's my biological sister!" Chang Ning insisted on her own point of view. She looked at Qi Muyuan with determination and did not back down." Don't you still want to marry her?”
" I was just…" Qi Muyuan recalled what he had said before. At this moment, he was speechless at Lin Changning's question.
" No woman is willing to share a husband with another woman…" Lin Changning's eyes began to tear up." Not to mention, that woman is my sister. The reason I'm so cruel…is because of you!" If it wasn't because you said you wanted to marry her, I wouldn't hate her so much!”
All the responsibility was pushed onto Qi Muyuan. Lin Changning felt that only by making Qi Muyuan feel guilty at this time would she have a better chance of winning.
" I…" Qi Muyuan found it hard to open his mouth when faced with Lin Changning's question. He did not know if the truth was as Lin Changning had said. Everything was because of him, but he knew one thing. He could not let Lin Changning do this.
"Even if I'm wrong and I don't want to marry her, you must never hurt her!”
Lin Changning's expression changed the moment Qi Muyuan said that. However, she tried her best to hide her embarrassment. She did not want Qi Muyuan to see it.
For Qi Muyuan to give up his original setting in order to ensure Lin Changan's safety could only mean one thing. Lin Changan definitely existed in his heart.
If there was no place for Lin Changan, why would he care?
"You just think I'm cruel?" Lin Changning looked into Qi Muyuan's eyes, not letting go of the slightest change in his emotions." Or has your sister always had a place in your heart?”
"…What are you saying? The person I've always liked is you! It has never changed." Qi Muyuan said confidently," You've always been the only one!”
However, in the end, even he himself did not know who existed in his heart.
