Keep your voice down. Are you trying to look glamorous dressed as a forced lover?

Song Qinian witnessed all of this, his pupils contracted, and for a moment he didn't even know how to react.

Sannoye didn't notice him; his attention had already shifted to Li Qingyan's hand, as if it were familiar, and then he very naturally compared the lengths of their fingers.

Seeing that her fingers were shorter than his and her hands smaller than his, appearing tiny in his palm, a smile appeared in his eyes. Curious, he cupped her hand and found it incredibly soft. He squeezed it like a dumpling.

Li Qingyan: "..."

Sannoye noticed her gaze and finally stopped playing around, obediently holding her hand.

In an instant, he felt as if his hands were enveloped by clouds.

He thought, "So it really is possible for the palms of my hands to feel itchy and tingly."

He stared at Li Qingyan's hands; her hands were so weak and powerless.

No wonder I'm afraid of snakes.

It was such a rare sight that his thumb couldn't resist gently rubbing against her.

The movement was very gentle, and Li Qingyan's hand trembled slightly. He couldn't help but clench his fist tightly to drive away the slight numbness that had been rubbed against his palm.

Song Qinian clenched his fist: What does Sannoye mean?

Does he even know what he's doing?

Thinking about this, he realized that Sannoye was also her concubine, which was normal.

But this is in Ninghui Palace, in his study. For him to act in this way is ultimately improper.

Song Qinian stared intently at their clasped hands, as if trying to bore a hole through them.

His gaze was intense and impossible to ignore, but Sannoh seemed oblivious to it throughout.

Li Qingyan, however, sensed it.

"Because Consort Song was reluctant, and I didn't want to force myself, I asked Sannoye to help me."

She explained calmly, "Let's begin."

Her voice was calm, and she was in a good mood; she hadn't expected Sannoh to actually come.

I never expected that the first time the three of us would be together would be like this.

However, this is what Song Qinian wanted, so he probably doesn't mind.

Song Qinian also thought of it.

He did say those words, but the person who came was not Ji Mingzheng, but Sannoye.

She simply respected his opinion and didn't force him to agree.

There was nothing wrong with it; he should even be grateful.

But a sense of frustration, with nowhere to be vented, rose up from my heart and surged forth.

This anger and frustration reached its peak when Song Qinian's gaze shifted upwards and landed on Sannoye's face.

Sannoye's lip... was also broken.

It goes without saying who bit him.

At this point, Song Qinian completely lost control of his emotions. He suddenly stood up and said, "Excuse me for changing my clothes. I'll come back later."

His voice was tense, and before Li Qingyan could react, he lost control and quickly left.

How many people has she been intimate with?

Even though they were all her lovers, they actually showed themselves in public with such wounds. Did they ever consider that it was inappropriate?

Perhaps she did it on purpose?

After Song Qinian left, Sannoye glanced at him, then looked down at his hands.

Noticing that Li Qingyan was staring in the direction Song Qinian had left, he moved his hand and tickled her palm.

"Ouch, it itches."

Sannoye could feel it; she was really itchy.

She's more interesting than Xiaobai and Xiaoqing.

Li Qingyan withdrew his gaze, somewhat helplessly: "Stop bothering me. I still need to look at the memorials later. You can't tickle me while I'm doing serious business, understand?"

"oh."

Sannoye agreed.

Song Qinian tried to ignore them as he left the study, but because of the distance, he could still hear their laughter and banter.

absurd.

absurd.

absurd.

He said three times that it was absurd, that they should not be playing and being intimate in the study, which is a serious place.

But he wasn't her legal husband, so he had no right to interfere. Even if he were her legal husband, as long as he wasn't in court, what could he say?

He took a deep breath to calm himself, and returned to his study a moment later.

"Your Highness, please continue."

His tone remained gentle and serious. He didn't glance at Sannoye once, ignoring him and their intertwined fingers, focusing solely on his business.

Sannoye didn't make a sound or scratch anymore. At first, he listened, but his eyes gradually became glazed over because their voices were very hypnotic. In the end, he fell asleep and lay down to the side.

A strange scene unfolded in the study.

Xingzhi, who came to refill their teacups, was so astonished by what he saw that he almost dropped his teacup.

The atmosphere in the entire Ninghui store became quiet and heavy.

Only Sannoh was completely unaffected, sleeping one nap after another.

He opened his eyes and interrupted Li Qingyan when he realized someone had trespassed on Fengyun Pavilion.

"Someone has trespassed into Fengyun Pavilion."

"Then go quickly."

Sannoh left quickly.

Li Qingyan also stood up: "Let's rest for a while."

She needs to move around and exercise her neck for convenience.

"Yes."

Li Qingyan will return after her activities are over, and Song Qinian will also return.

For some reason, he seemed to be in a better mood, and his voice and smile seemed more genuine.

After sitting down, when he dipped his brush in ink, the brush accidentally touched Li Qingyan, and Li Qingyan's hand got ink on it.

"I'm sorry." Song Qinian apologized and got up to personally get a wet cloth.

Li Qingyan wiped the ink and then wiped her hands.

Song Qinian took the handkerchief, returned and said that he had offended His Highness, then took her hand.

He didn't interlock his fingers, but simply held her hand lightly.

Li Qingyan looked at him in confusion: "Why did you suddenly feel better?" You've turned into a blockhead again, how strange.

Song Qinian shook his head: "It's nothing."

According to Xingzhi's report, the rumors at Changfeng Palace have been clarified. General Ji said that His Highness was ill yesterday and he was only there to take care of him.

So he misunderstood everything. She did not consummate her marriage with General Ji, nor did she hire two men to serve her in bed. She was genuinely ill.

"Your Highness, are you still feeling unwell?"

"No," Li Qingyan said, puzzled, but she didn't say much, focusing instead on the memorial.

When the second memorial was presented, Sannoh suddenly returned.

He glanced at their hands, then reached out and separated them.

"Let Song Cejun use this hand to write."

Then she walked to the other side and took Li Qingyan's hand again, their fingers intertwined.

He yawned and went back to sleep.

Song Qinian tightened his grip on the hand that had been pulled away, but did not write anything immediately; his expression was quite interesting.

"Song Concubine?"

"Let's continue." Song Qinian's voice was slightly stiff.

The three of them stayed together until dinner time.

"Your Highness, Consort, Consort Sang, dinner is ready."

"Let's eat first, I'm hungry," Li Qingyan said immediately, getting up and releasing Sannoye's hand.

"Why don't you stay for a meal, Lord Sang?" Song Qinian asked politely.

"Okay." Sannoh readily agreed to the invitation.

Xingzhi glanced at Song Qinian's expression and hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.

But Sannoh did not eat this dinner.

Because many of the dinners served contained coriander.

Sannoye disliked coriander.

"I'll go back and eat."

Song Qinian's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced at Xingzhi, who was waiting beside him without any apparent abnormality.

He was in charge of the Eastern Palace's backyard, so he naturally knew about Feng Yunxie's behavior. He knew that Consort Sang was not picky about food, as long as it was fresh, but he didn't like coriander.

I don't know where they found so much coriander in such a short time.

Li Qingyan didn't know why Sangnuoye wanted to go back to eat; he just assumed that Sangnuoye didn't want to dine with them.

"Okay, you don't need to come back later, it's almost done." There are only three folds left.

"Okay." Sannoh nodded.

After finishing dinner, Li Qingyan looked at Song Qinian, who was serving her food, and then at Huai Xu:

"Huai Xu, I'll stay overnight at Ninghui Palace tonight, which will give me time to finish dealing with the remaining folding scrolls."

The notice was given to Huai Xu, and also to Song Qinian.

He turned into a wooden statue the moment I hugged him, and the offer to let him stay overnight carries a hint of forced affection.

Forced love, especially when someone is unwilling but their body betrays them, is something many people engage in.

The imperial court and the harem were also inextricably linked. For the sake of the Left Chancellor, Li Qingyan also gained Song Qinian's "favor".

Tonight is a good time to test Song Qinian's bottom line and sensitivity.
