The Third Prince was fond of martial arts. His appearance was rather boorish, and his muscles were even more exaggerated.
Sitting next to the Third Prince, Qi Nan was simply like a weak scholar who couldn't lift his hands or carry his shoulders.
After the Third Prince sat down, he glanced at Jiujiu who was sitting beside Qi Nan. His brows slightly knitted, then he loudly said, "Presumably, this is the superintendent's favored concubine."
Hearing the Third Prince say that she was a favored concubine, Jiujiu's delicate brows instantly knitted together. She wished she could loudly tell the Third Prince that she was not a favored concubine, but a cat master. However, she swallowed the words back down. No matter who she told these words to, no one would believe her. Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, she was a favored concubine.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and suppressed the anger in her stomach. She simply buried her head in her food and decided not to look at him.
Jiujiu liked to eat fish. Moreover, due to the cat's habits, she ate fish very quickly and cleanly.
In the past, Qi Nan helped her pick out the fish bones. Today, Qi Nan was talking to the Third Prince, so Jiujiu naturally buried her head and ate.
When the Third Prince came in earlier, he had been observing Jiujiu and Qi Nan. When he said that Jiujiu was a favored concubine, Qi Nan did not have any other expression. At this moment, when he saw that Jiujiu only cared about eating and did not pay attention to him and Qi Nan, he classified Jiujiu as a good-looking but brainless person.
However, because of this, the Third Prince directly ordered his trusted aide to bring her in.
Although the Third Prince disliked eunuchs, now that Qi Nan was in control of the court, even if they heard that Qi Nan was slowly returning power to the Emperor, the Third Prince's advisor felt that regardless of whether this news was true or false, it was extremely unfavorable to the Third Prince.
If it was true, then it meant that Qi Nan was the Emperor's man. Moreover, Qi Nan had been in control of the court for so many years. Even if he returned power to the Emperor, no one knew how much power he had behind the scenes.
But if it was fake, it meant that Qi Nan was an unfathomable person. Moreover, he had been in power for so many years. How could he not have a few people? Even if he gave the power to the Emperor, he just changed from being in the open to being in the dark.
If it was on the surface, it would be easy to study him carefully and see his weakness. But if it was in the dark, it would be difficult to find his weakness.
The Third Prince lowered his eyes and thought hard for a long time. When he heard that Qi Nan's cat was lost, he wanted to send a cat to Qi Nan, but he didn't expect that he would be one step behind and the Second Prince would beat him to it. Although he couldn't send a cat, when he thought of the news that Qi Nan recently had a favored concubine, the Third Prince decided to send a beauty.
Like all men, the Third Prince liked beautiful women. Because he was a prince, he had more than ten concubines.
Now that Qi Nan already had a favored concubine, the Third Prince thought that although Qi Nan was a eunuch, he still had a love for beauty. Moreover, a woman was much better than a cat.
No matter how good a cat was, it would only take a while. If he didn't like it, then he didn't like it. But a person was different. If he liked it, then he would keep it in his heart. Moreover, the Third Prince believed that even if he searched the entire capital, he wouldn't be able to find a better beauty than the one he sent to Qi Nan.
Thinking of that person's appearance, the Third Prince sighed in his heart. If he didn't want to curry favor with Qi Nan, he would definitely accept such a beauty.
Therefore, in the time it took for Jiujiu to lower her head and eat a fish, the Third Prince's trusted aide came back with a woman.
How to describe this woman? She was very beautiful. She was so beautiful that she could captivate the birds and make the birds fall, hide the moon and shame the flowers. What was even more admirable was that this beauty's eyes were especially pure, like a pool of clear water.
This kind of woman, even a woman would have a desire to protect her, especially a man.
Jiujiu originally thought that Qi Nan would reveal an infatuated expression like the Third Prince, but who would have thought that Qi Nan would only look at her indifferently before lowering his eyes to take a sip of tea.
Sensing that Jiujiu was looking at him, Qi Nan curled his lips and smiled at Jiujiu before saying to the Third Prince: "This one appreciates the Third Prince's good intentions, but I already have Little Xue. My heart can no longer hold another woman."
The Third Prince originally thought that as long as he brought the woman out, Qi Nan would definitely accept her. Who would have thought that Qi Nan would actually be so kind as to directly reject him.
The Third Prince tilted his head to look at the beauty that he was infatuated with, then looked at Qi Nan. His heart was a bit angry, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
After all, Qi Nan already didn't want her. How could the Third Prince force Qi Nan to accept her?
Because he was rejected by Qi Nan, the Third Prince just spoke for a while and then directly left. When he left, he still wanted to keep the beauty here. However, as soon as he left, Jiujiu pointed at the beauty and said to Qi Nan: "Brother, I don't like her. Drive her away."
Jiujiu's voice was childish, but her words made the Third Prince extremely angry. However, what surprised the Third Prince the most was that Qi Nan actually listened to Jiujiu's words and let Hua 'an drive the beauty out.
Although it was said to drive her out, in fact, it was almost the same as driving her out.
Looking at the beauty who was chased out, the Third Prince was almost angered to death. He came over with good intentions to send the beauty to Qi Nan, but Qi Nan chased the beauty out. Although he had power that could overturn the imperial court, not putting him in his eyes was too much.
The Third Prince instantly sank. He pursed his lips, thought for a while, and then turned to leave.
He kindly tried to please Qi Nan, but Qi Nan didn't see it. Then don't blame him for being ruthless.
The Third Prince came in with a smile and left with a sullen face.
After the Third Prince left, Jiujiu could no longer eat the delicious fish that she had just been eating. She stared straight at Qi Nan, and when Qi Nan looked over, she lowered her head and continued eating. After eating two mouthfuls, she could not help but look at Qi Nan again.
However, Qi Nan was prepared this time. As soon as she raised her head, she directly met Qi Nan's eyes.
Jiujiu didn't expect that Qi Nan had been looking at her all the time. Her eyes instantly widened because of surprise. When she came to her senses, her cheeks instantly turned red. She pursed her lips and whispered: "That woman …"
Jiujiu wanted to ask Qi Nan about his thoughts on that beauty, but when the words came out of her mouth, she felt a little jealous. Jiujiu pursed her lips, thought for a while, and changed her question: "Brother, do you like that woman?"
As Jiujiu asked, she comforted herself in her heart. She didn't have any other thoughts. She only thought of Qi Nan as her brother. Her brother wanted to find a sister-in-law, so she should help look after him.
However, when this thought appeared, Jiujiu inexplicably felt guilty.
If Qi Nan was really her brother, then why did he go into heat with her a few days ago? Moreover, he even hugged and kissed her. Thinking of Qi Nan's instructions after kissing her and that magnetic voice that could make people suffocate, Jiujiu's cheeks turned red again.
Qi Nan didn't understand Jiujiu's complicated thoughts, but he was still happy that Jiujiu lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him after asking this question.
Qi Nan raised his hand and patted Jiujiu's head. As he peeled the shrimp for Jiujiu, he said: "I only want you. Be good, don't be angry."
