The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 291 Continue to Beijing

Seeing that the other women around them had left, the two men became obviously more nervous.

Qingyin smiled gently and motioned Duan Heng to guard the door.

Duan Heng walked to the door reluctantly, but his eyes were fixed on the two women.

Looking at the frightened and nervous Honghua and A Lian, Qingyin took off the human skin mask and hair crown. The long black hair fell on the exquisite face, making it look even more thrilling.

Honghua and A Lian had already opened their mouths wide at Qingyin's actions and looked at her in surprise.

Isn’t this the stunning beauty who appeared in the flower god’s selection?

Looking at the two women who were fascinated by him, Qingyin smiled kindly and took Honghua's hand enthusiastically: "Sister, it's me, Erhua."

……

After figuring out what had happened and her identity, Honghua leaned against Qingyin in a daze, while A Lian stayed close to her. Now her second sister was trying to redeem herself and A Lian in front of everyone.

"Oh, Master, the girls in our building are not cheap."

Unexpectedly, the young master really took a fancy to the two low-class women. The old madam smiled so hard that her eyes were dazzled. She turned her eyes and stared closely at Honghua and A Lian who were following the young master.

Qingyin knew from the look in her eyes that the old procuress wanted to pressure her to get more money.

She opened her folding fan impatiently. "Oh, if my mother hadn't insisted on me marrying the girl from the Li family, I wouldn't have bothered to come to the brothel. Come on, hurry up, let me pick two at random and see what my mother will say! Come on, hurry up. I heard that there's a Flower Goddess Festival in Dongjiao County. I want to join in the fun."

The madam's eyes turned, and she realized that the rebellious young master wanted to irritate his mother by casually looking for two people. In that case, these two women were not so important, and the money could not be too much. Especially, what if the young master knew about the stunning beauty who came from the Flower Goddess Festival and didn't want even these two goods?

Thinking of this, the madam said with a smile: "Ah, Master, you can take back our two women with eighty taels of silver."

Qingyin frowned slightly, and the madam thought she thought the price was too expensive, so she quickly changed her words.

"No, fifty taels of silver."

"Okay, Xiao Hengzi, give me the money."

Qingyin gave Duan Heng a casual look.

Duan Heng, with a sullen face, silently walked forward and paid the money.

—

Honghua, or Lin Erhua, walked out of the brothel and watched helplessly as her decades-long indenture contract was torn into pieces by Qingyin. Tears inexplicably filled her eyes.

From today on, they are free.

……

On the way to Beijing, ever since Qingyin rescued Lin Dahua from the brothel, they had no intention of staying in Dongjiao County for long. Now they have left Dongjiao County.

In the wobbly carriage, Duan Heng was squeezed out and rushed outside to drive the horses. He looked in the direction of the carriage with resentful eyes.

Inside the carriage, Qingyin leaned against the carriage like a big boss, while Lin Dahua and A Lian, who were gentle and meticulous by nature, were concentrating on feeding Qingyin.

By the way, now A-Lian is no longer called A-Lian. She asked Qingyin to give her a new name, Lin Anxi. Just like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, the girl who has washed away the stains is the rising sun.

In the carriage, Qingyin was teaching her two sisters to read and write. Lin Dahua had a poor memory, but Lin Anxi was unusually smart and could remember every word she had learned after reading it two or three times.

Qingyin admired her very much. She was the good sister who would make money for her in the future.

In the carriage, words like "Sister An Xi is so smart, Sister An Xi is so great, and elder sister is so attentive..." continued to be heard.

The two sisters were so coaxed that they wanted to give their heart to Qingyin, and Lin Dahua's head was not so dizzy anymore when she looked at these headache-inducing books.

Outside the carriage, Duan Heng had a blank expression on his face, but the chill on his body was getting stronger and stronger. The horse pulling the carriage seemed to sense the danger and walked forward obediently without being driven.

In the capital, the news of the fourth prince's disappearance has been around for more than half a month.

The people above also implicitly assumed that the Fourth Prince had died in an accident, but the Fourth Prince's body had not been found yet, so the current emperor still ordered people to look for it.

In the Fourth Prince's Mansion, late at night, Jiang Lingya looked at the empty mansion, and the strong expression on her face revealed a rare hint of sadness.

She didn't believe that Duan Heng was dead, he must be alive.

"Miss Jiang, don't worry. Chen Che already has a clue, and the master will definitely find it." Secret guard Chen Mo appeared in the house, looking worriedly at the girl who showed a bit of fragility.

Jiang Lingya was a maid who had always been with the master. She was also the master's confidant and had done so many things for the master. Moreover, Miss Jiang still had feelings for the master, and the master did not object. It seemed that he had already accepted her. Unfortunately, the master's whereabouts were unknown...

Chen Mo admired this talented and affectionate girl from the bottom of his heart.

"I understand. Thank you, A'mo." Jiang Lingya smiled bitterly. So was it really her appearance and the butterfly effect that harmed Duan Heng, who was supposed to become the emperor?

Jiang Lingya was sad and desperate at this moment.

……

The fourth prince has been found.

This news spread like wildfire in the capital, and even the news that the Fourth Prince had several women with him was overshadowed by the turbulent waves.

Duan Heng's identity was discovered by sheer coincidence, and the person was not even found by his men.

—

The Fifth Princess, who suddenly wanted to go out of the house, came to the street, and was very interested in visiting the largest jewelry store in the capital to browse the latest jewelry.

Just as the fifth princess was eyeing an exquisite bracelet, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Take out your best hairpins."

The voice was so familiar, especially like her fourth brother whom she feared the most.

Although her fourth brother was not from a strong family and did not bully her, she was very afraid of him. This fear came from the weak animal's instinct for danger.

The fifth princess was so frightened that she lowered her head reflexively and looked furtively at the source of the sound.

The maid followed the princess's reaction and subconsciously lowered her head, making both of them look inexplicably vulgar.

"Ahua, take a look at this ruby. It looks like a crabapple flower, with a few green leaves on it. It's quite unique."

The man spoke tenderly to the other woman.

From the Fifth Princess's perspective, she could not see the faces of the two people. She could only hear the familiar voice of the man speaking gently to another veiled woman.

The fifth princess squatted down, and was blocked by the cabinet. She pulled the maid Ah Qing's body obscenely, "Ah Qing, listen to it, does that sound like the fourth brother's voice?"

Ah Qing covered his mouth in fear and nodded obediently.

"But how could Fourth Brother have such a gentle voice? This must not be him!"

Ah Qing nodded frantically in agreement.

After saying this, the fifth princess came to the conclusion confidently.

The fifth princess stood up after thinking it over, just in time to see the man with the familiar voice turn around and reveal the same frightening face.

Fifth Princess:!

The voice may be the same, but the face cannot be exactly the same, so this person must be her fourth brother.

The fifth princess pointed at Duan Heng tremblingly and howled in a trembling voice: "Fourth brother!"

Duan Heng frowned when the strange woman pointed at him, but looking at the woman he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Soft buns.

The three words appeared silently in his mind, and the familiar picture flashed in his mind, arousing a dizzying pain.

The man subconsciously covered his head, Qingyin heard the voice from behind and looked at him puzzledly: "Ah Heng, what's wrong with you?"

The sweet and pleasant female voice made the timid Fifth Princess couldn't help but cast a curious look.

At first glance, there was a girl with extremely beautiful eyes and eyebrows leaning against the man. She flashed by and was then blocked by the man.

The fifth princess swore on her own name that although the time was so short and the girl's features were blurry, she was definitely, definitely a rare beauty.

"I'm fine." The man was subconsciously brought back to his senses by the familiar voice. He even deliberately covered the petite girl with his body, and patted the girl with surprisingly beautiful eyebrows and eyes gently and soothingly.

The sweet atmosphere that makes it impossible to interfere and the man's behavior as if he is hiding a treasure, both reveal their relationship at a glance.

The fifth princess widened her eyes, stunned by this huge information.

Tsk tsk, didn’t they say that Fourth Brother has someone he likes, Jiang Lingya, the daughter of Minister Jiang?

With the fifth princess's discovery, Duan Heng naturally entered the palace to confirm his identity.

……

Qingyin was temporarily left in the inn where they stayed when they came to the capital.

Qing Yin looked at the girl who had become much bolder since Duan Heng left. A smile flashed in her eyes and her voice trembled a little: "Fifth Princess, this inn is simple and may not be suitable for the princess to stay."

Looking at the girl who was so scared that she couldn't even utter a word, and the two quail-like women following behind her, the fifth princess suddenly felt the same way as her brothers and sisters were looking at her.

Feeling a little bolder, she patted her chest cheerfully.

"Don't be afraid, Miss Lin. You are Fourth Brother's savior, and you are also my benefactor. As Fourth Brother's sister, Fourth Brother invites me to protect you. I will definitely protect you well."

Listening to the princess' words, Ah Qing looked at the princess in front of him in confusion.

Did the Fourth Prince just invite the princess to protect Miss Lin well?

The princess said, "There must be one." It only took Ah Qing two seconds to go from uncertainty to certainty.

Qingyin lowered her head and smiled timidly, looking at the Fifth Princess with trusting eyes: "Thank you very much, Fifth Princess."

The Fifth Princess felt so excited that she was trusted by someone for the first time. She smiled happily and wanted to do something for this weak beauty.

Her eyes suddenly fell on the veil on Qingyin's face, and she said with concern: "Sister Lin, there is no one else in this room, and it's stuffy to wear a veil, why not take it off."

Qing Yin blinked: "Okay."

The veil was removed and a hush fell over the room.

At that moment, the whole room seemed to light up.

The Fifth Princess, or Duan Qinxue, was so overwhelmed by the beauty that she became speechless and even forgot to control her facial expressions.

She felt like she was dreaming, otherwise how could she see such a stunning beauty appearing in a simple inn.

"Ah Qing, pinch me."

Surprised, Ah Qing listened to the princess' voice and subconsciously carried out the princess' request.

"Ouch! That hurts."

It’s true. When Fourth Brother had an accident, he really met a stunning beauty who saved him.

This was such a shocking, enviable, and great thing that Duan Qinxue's eyes turned red with envy.

"Sister Lin!"

"Ah."

"Lin Meimei"

"Um"

……

Qingyin looked down at the bright and beautiful woman who was hesitating but approached her very quickly, and a look of helplessness flashed in her eyes.

"Fifth Princess, how long are you going to hold me in your arms?"

"No, no, Sister Lin, can you just call me Axue?" Duan Qinxue shamelessly held Qingyin's arm and rubbed it.

That action looked so vulgar no matter how you looked at it.

Even the Fifth Princess' own maid couldn't stand her master's shameless behavior.

"Okay, okay, Axue." The charming girl shyly stammered as she called her name, which made her look even cuter.

Duan Qinxue, who was touched by the cuteness, once again deeply envied the cold and hard Fourth Brother who could stay with Lin Daiyu for so long.

No, how can the serious and cold Fourth Brother accompany such a beautiful and lovely beauty? So for this kind of feeling, let her take good care of Sister Lin for Fourth Brother.

Duan Qinxue thought silently with a silly smile on her face. At this moment, her mind was occupied by beauty and she completely forgot about the unusually gentle attitude that her fourth brother had towards Qingyin when she first met him.

……

Until the moment she left, Duan Qinxue was extremely reluctant to leave.

If she hadn't left some guards behind, and hadn't had the authority of the Imperial Palace Mother, she would have definitely stayed to accompany the beauty.

After Duan Qinxue left, the room fell silent again.

Qingyin looked at Lin Dahua and Lin Anxi, who were a little nervous after coming to the capital, and began to comfort them: "Sister, Sister Anxi, Duan Heng seems to be the fourth prince. I'm a little scared about what to do."

Seeing their beautiful sister getting scared, the two men ignored their fear and immediately used all their thoughts to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, sister. You are Duan Heng, no, the Fourth Prince's savior. Even if he doesn't care about you, His Majesty will give you money to save the prince. When the time comes, we will use the money to do some business and guarantee that you can live the same as before."

It wasn't in vain that Lin Dahua and Lin Anxi read so many books and met so many people along the way. Looking at Qingyin who was timid, afraid, and trusted them, they felt that they had gained courage in their hearts at this moment.

Looking at her two sisters who had figured out a way out in just a few words, a smile flashed across Qingyin's blocked eyes.

High-end comfort is not about verbal words, but about coming up with a solution. It doesn’t matter who comes up with the solution.

Inside the room, the two older sisters took care of their delicate and pitiful younger sister skillfully until she went to sleep.

The two of them fell asleep in a daze, thinking about plans of setting up stalls, opening shops, and becoming stronger and bigger.

Duan Heng was also kept in the palace and had his brain treated by the imperial physician. He was not released until the next morning.

The first thing he did when he came out was to pick up Qingyin from the inn.

Early in the morning, Lin Dahua looked at the familiar face, Duan Heng, who appeared at the door of the inn. Seeing his gorgeous clothes, she felt unfamiliar. The completely different identity made her subconsciously alert to the appearance of the person in front of her.

"This humble lady pays respect to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

"Where's Ah Hua?" Duan Heng didn't care about Lin Dahua's vigilant eyes. It was her special status that made him more patient with her. Duan Heng spoke anxiously, worried that Ah Hua in the room would change her attitude towards him.

Seeing the familiar concern for her sister in Duan Heng's eyes, Lin Dahua silently felt relieved. How could a man give up on such a stunning beauty like her sister?

"My sister is still sleeping in the room. She went to bed late because she had a lot of things to do yesterday."

"Okay, I'll wait for her."

Duan Heng sat quietly aside, waiting for Qingyin to wake up.

His status is different now, and if he wants to marry her, he naturally cannot ruin Ah Hua's reputation.

However, Ah Hua probably went to bed so late because of him. Thinking of this, the man's face turned red silently.
