Chapter 149 - 147: I Don’t Like Any of the Concubines
Lu Qianqian wiped her embroidered shoes clean and picked up the wine cup again. "Shen Yinning, after finishing this drink, let’s bury the hatchet, shall we?"
Shen Yinning took the cup, pretending not to notice the eager glint in her eyes. "I humbly obey Your Highness’s command."
Both downed their drinks in one go. Lu Qianqian enthusiastically tugged on Shen Yinning’s arm. "I remember that before your family’s downfall, we often went shopping together. We were so close back then. Come, let’s go to the night market now."
Shen Yinning followed her out of the private room.
As they turned the corridor, Lu Qianqian suddenly let go of her hand. The smile vanished from her face as she lowered her voice and snarled, "You wretched woman! Do you really think the Crown Prince can save you every single time? Someday, there will be a time when he cannot look after you!"
Shen Yinning toyed with a lock of dark hair draped over her shoulder, smiling faintly. "In theater troupes, young actors spend money and bow to masters to learn how to change their expressions fast. But here you are, Princess, doing it for free. The way you change your face so quickly; you could perform on stage directly. Think of the effort you’ve saved!"
"You filthy wench! Always so sharp-tongued—I can’t out-talk you! But haven’t you felt the slightest change in your body yet?"
"Change? Not at all. It’s you, Your Highness—wearing so little on such a chilly night. Aren’t you cold?"
Cold?
Lu Qianqian didn’t feel cold at all.
