Quick Wear: The bad girl only wants to flirt with handsome men

Chapter 292 The Queen is so beautiful 21

"Sister Fangfei..."

Shangguan Ming looked a little uneasy, and thought to himself: Is it inappropriate for me to be so abrupt?

However, the torrent of emotions was as difficult to contain as a broken dam. The urge to talk to her and listen to her voice was like a wild beast out of control, rampaging deep in my heart.

Although he knew that this action might cause unnecessary trouble, he still couldn't control his heart that had already been captured by her.

"Brother Ming."

Hua Fangfei's clear and pleasant voice was like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, gently reaching Shangguan Ming's ears.

She knew very well what his reaction was at the moment.

As the King of Cheng, his status is naturally noble. Moreover, looking back on the succession to the throne that year, it seems that there are many unknown secrets hidden in it.

Thinking of this, Hua Fangfei's acting talent was instantly aroused. She lowered her head slightly, bit her lower lip tenderly, and her beautiful eyes were as bright and charming as autumn water.

When Shangguan Ming raised his head, his eyes happened to meet Hua Fangfei's eyes that were like smoke and mist.

What he didn't expect was that there were tears flickering in the woman's eyes at this moment. The crystal tears were like dewdrops on lotus leaves in the early morning, swaying and extremely adorable.

This pitiful look made Shangguan Ming's heart tremble.

"Why is Sister Fangfei crying?"

Shangguan Ming looked at the delicate woman in front of him with concern and asked softly.

Hua Fangfei shook her head slightly, and crystal tears slid down her fair cheeks like pearls that had broken off the string. "No... nothing, I was just sad for a moment and couldn't help but shed tears."

Seeing this, the man became extremely anxious and didn't care about etiquette for a moment.

He reached out his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Hua Fangfei's face, saying softly, "Sister, if you have anything on your mind, just tell me. There's no need to hide it. Sister and I have known each other since childhood and are as close as brothers. Is there anything you can't tell me? Could it be that you have suffered some injustice in this deep palace?"

"Hmm." The woman nodded slightly, opened her red lips, and uttered a soft response.

A hint of sadness flashed across her pretty face, as if she had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to start.

She hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke slowly, "Initially, I didn't want to enter the palace. Although it seemed prosperous and splendid, rich and glorious, the intrigues and schemes there were not something I wanted to face. However..."

At this point, Hua Fangfei couldn't help but stop talking and frowned slightly, as if recalling the past that was too painful to recall.

Although she didn't finish what she said, just these few words were enough for Shangguan Ming to quickly outline a series of possible events in his mind.

As expected, Shangguan Ming was already lost in thought at this time. He knew very well that his royal brother had always been wary of the Hua family.

The Hua family is powerful and influential, and has considerable influence in the court.

The emperor's brother could not confront the Hua family openly, so as not to cause greater disturbance and turmoil; therefore, he came up with a roundabout plan - asking Hua Fangfei to enter the palace and directly confer the title of Hua Fei.

In this way, it may seem on the surface that the Hua family is being given supreme honor and grace, but in fact it is a disguised threat and control.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Ming couldn't help but feel pity. He stared at Hua Fangfei and said softly, "I understand your difficulties, and I don't want to see you trapped in such a predicament. Sister Fangfei, don't worry and do whatever you want. If you need anything, I will go all out and help you!"

Hua Fangfei smiled wryly, "Thank you, Brother Ming. It's getting late, and I should get up and go back to the palace..."

When talking about returning to the palace, Hua Fangfei's tone became noticeably lower. At the same time, a hint of sadness quietly crept onto her face, spreading like the morning mist, making her look particularly sad and lonely.

"I'll take you there." Shangguan Ming blurted out, then realized what was happening and quickly said, "I was the one who brought you out. Now that we're going back, it's only natural that I should take you there too."

After saying this, Shangguan Ming looked at Hua Fangfei nervously, secretly praying in his heart that she would not notice the strangeness in his words.

Hua Fangfei just smiled slightly, that smile seemed to contain thousands of words, but it also seemed as if she said nothing.

Then she nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed to let Shangguan Ming see her off.

When the two of them went out, they found that Concubine Hu had already set off to return to the palace. Hua Fangfei refused to sit in the carriage back, but instead walked slowly on the street.

Shangguan Ming didn't mention it again and walked to her side silently.

Just like that, the two of them walked side by side, slowly heading towards the direction of the palace...

Along the way, neither of them spoke again, only the sound of each other's footsteps echoed in the silent street.
