Chapter 212 Give her steps
That night, Lu Ji hugged her and talked a lot.

The things that happened in their childhood were all happy and unforgettable, but the little girl didn't respond. She didn't even say a word. She just listened quietly, and then she fell asleep unknowingly.

When she woke up, Lu Ji had already left. She got up and Wushuang Wuxue brought her breakfast.

It was the bird's nest porridge she used to eat.

Qin Xiaoning glanced at it and said calmly, "You got the wrong one."

Wushuang replied, "You got it right. The prince personally ordered the kitchen to make this for the girl."

Qin Xiaoning pushed the bird's nest porridge away with a wooden face: "I'm used to white porridge. I'm not used to eating this."

Wushuang and Wuxue looked at each other and had to replace the bird's nest porridge.

Just after breakfast, Amber came.

She was accompanied by several maids, each of whom was holding something in her hands, including colorful clothes, various types of rouge and powder, and jewels and hairpins that sparkled brightly.

"Miss Qin, come and have a look. These are all given to you by the prince. Wow, they are all good things."

Qin Xiaoning drank a sip of tea slowly, without even raising her eyelids, and said calmly: "I am a concubine, I don't need these."

"My dear girl, you are still angry with the prince." Amber sat down beside her and comforted her in a gentle voice, "Be obedient and stop making trouble. The prince loves you so much. You secretly wanted to run away, but I was so angry that I couldn't bear to punish you severely. Now I am actively trying to make peace with you. Okay, okay, don't be angry. Listen to your sister's advice and stop when you are ahead. You will still be the apple of the prince's eye in the future."

Qin Xiaoning smiled faintly when she heard this: "Sister, do you really think that the prince and I can go back to the way we were before?"

Amber was surprised when she heard this: "Miss, what do you mean by that? You made such a big mistake, and the prince just made a big noise but did nothing but lightly expose it. What else do you want? Listen to your sister's advice and stop throwing a tantrum."

Amber kept persuading him, and finally, Qin Xiaoning said helplessly: "Sister, stop talking. I want to go out. I can't stay in this room all day. It will make me feel bored and anxious."

After saying that, the little girl left everyone behind and went out.

"Where are you going?" Amber asked hurriedly.

The little girl stopped and replied with a wry smile: "The gate is locked. Where else can I go? I'll just sit in the porch."

Amber said: "These things."

Before Amber could finish, Qin Xiaoning said resolutely: "I don't want any of them. Sister, just go back to the prince and tell him that I am a concubine and should abide by my duties. He is overstepping the boundaries by giving me these."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Amber could only leave with the things in her hands.

In the evening, Lu Ji returned from his shift and just as he entered the Chuihua Gate, he was stopped by a maid who was waiting in the front yard.

"My Lord, today is the Jingzhe Festival. The Madam has invited the eldest son of the Wang family, the grandmother of Wang, and the cousin to come over for a small gathering. The Madam would like to ask you to come over."

When Lu Ji heard about Wang Fengyi, his face suddenly darkened.

"I'm not free today."

He said this with a cold face and strode back to Qingsong Garden.

When he returned to the main house, he happened to pass by the east courtyard. As usual, he stood at the gate of the courtyard for a while. He was about to order someone to open the door lock, but after hesitating, he finally held back.

After returning to the main house, the first thing Lu Ji did was to call Wushuang Wuxue and Amber over.

The little thing was so difficult to deal with that she actually did something as ridiculous as running away from home. Lu Ji was so angry that he stopped loving her and locked her up for a while. However, seeing her pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

Before leaving today, I gave special instructions to give the little girl a way out.

I don't know if she has changed her mind. The more I think about it, the more headache I get. The little girl is big and careless, she can't be beaten or scolded, which makes men feel powerless.

I really want to be cruel and ignore her for a year or two to force her to change her mind, but I can't help but visit her and care for her, hoping that she can change her mind and give up those ridiculous thoughts.

Lu Ji was feeling upset here when Wushuang Wuxue and Amber entered the room one after another.

"How is she today?"

Recently, whenever the prince returned home, the first thing he did was to send someone to ask about the little girl's situation.

Wushuang Wuxue, just like she did in the past, told Lu Ji everything the little girl said and did today, without missing a word.

Hearing about the bird's nest porridge in the morning, Lu Ji's face couldn't help but darken.

Amber was the best at observing the master's expression. Seeing that his master was unhappy, he didn't want to make things difficult for the prince. However, Lu Ji turned around and asked, "So, you don't want to accept the things Amber sent you."

Amber could only shake her head and answer truthfully: "Miss Qin is still angry. She just said that she is just a concubine and the things given by the prince are beyond the rules."

This means that I will fight him to the end.

Little thing, you are becoming more and more difficult to deal with, and you still won't take any action.

The more Lu Ji thought about it, the angrier he became. With a gloomy face, he strode to the east wing.

He ordered someone to unlock the gate to the yard and went straight to the house. It was already dark and there was no light in the house. There was no one outside. He lit the candlestick on the table and pushed open the door to the inner room with one hand.

The little girl was leaning over the table in a daze.

She sat there quietly with her face in her hands until the bright candlelight dazzled her eyes. The little girl instinctively blocked her eyes with her hands, but her face was still expressionless and lifeless.

Lu Ji placed the candlestick on the table.

He stood in front of her, looked at her coldly for a long while, and then said slowly: "How long are you going to make trouble?"

She said nothing, still sitting there lifeless.

Lu Ji suppressed his temper: "Speak."

She still didn't react.

Finally the man lost his patience. He pulled her up and held her in front of him. He raised his hand high and said through gritted teeth, "Qin Xiaoning, do I have to spank you before you listen to me?"

If it were usual, the little thing would be so scared seeing him like this that it would crawl into his arms and beg for mercy.

But at this moment, she just closed her eyes slightly, looking like she was asking for a beating.

Lu Ji gritted his teeth and finally put down his slap. Then he held her on his lap and sat down, staring at her and asked, "What do you want? Huh?"

"Can you please stop making a fuss?"

"Be obedient, okay?"

Seeing that she still didn't say a word, Lu Ji went straight to kiss her lips. The little woman dodged in disgust. The man's brows immediately fell cold. He held the back of her head with one hand and held her two restless little hands tightly with the other hand. He pried open her pearly teeth like conquering a city and kissed her domineeringly.

She gradually became breathless and struggled hesitantly, but he kissed her harder and harder until a fishy-sweet taste overflowed from her mouth, and then he let her go.

He stared at her fiercely and asked, "Can you speak now?"

The little woman wiped her mouth with the back of her hand in disgust, turned her head away with a cold face, and still refused to say a word to him.
