After the violent wolf lord was reborn, he became sickly!

"My queen is partial."

Shan Zhi muttered something, staring at Qinghan with his eyes fixed, resting his hand on his cheek, and finally shook his sleeves and walked out of the inner hall.

Seeing this, Xiao Linglang tilted her head to look at Qinghan and sighed softly, "It's all my fault. The Wolf Lord didn't bother with me, but let you guys have a conflict."

Qinghan shook her head. "It's none of your Majesty's business. Shan Zhi has good intentions, but she didn't think things through. She might feel that I have let her down."

Xiao Linglang turned around and opened a black lacquer and gold-painted ivory makeup box from the dressing table. She took out a white jade plum blossom hairpin and a peony hairpin from it. "I was wrong after all. Take these hairpins, one for each of you. You can't say I'm partial. You two are the only ones in the palace who are familiar with me and protect me the most."

She placed the two hairpins in Qinghan's palm and tilted her head embarrassedly.

Qinghan held her lips together, pushed the hairpin back, looked at Xiao Linglang, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, your words are too serious. Your Majesty is my master, and it is my duty to protect your Majesty. Shanzhi is angry with me. I will talk to her and make amends to her later. I have been too lenient with her."

Xiao Linglang hid her hands behind her back, shook her head, and frowned, "Since I gave it to you, it's not a valuable item, just accept it. Besides, I didn't have much to give away in the Northland before. You followed me into the royal court and left your hometown. I should give you the reward I received."

Seeing that Qinghan still refused to accept it, Xiao Linglang took her arm, gently curled her hand back, and said with a smile: "Just accept it. I remember you like plum blossoms. The Wolf Lord said that this is a dried branch plum that is unique to your grassland."

"This is what the Wolf Lord picked for the Queen. It's not an ordinary reward." Qinghan liked it, but the Queen's jewelry was carefully selected by the Wolf Lord. They had other rewards and didn't need these.

"I know." Xiao Linglang nodded. She patted Qinghan's hand and said softly, "Just take it with confidence. In my opinion, it will just be at the bottom of the box and lose its brilliance. The right thing needs to be cherished by the right person."

After several shoves, Qinghan tightened the hairpin in her hand little by little and placed her hand on her chest: "Slave, thank you for your grace, Madam."

After she left, Xiao Linglang took a breath, stood up straight with her chest out, looked towards the outer hall, picked up a piece of cake and took a bite, and the rich milky aroma hit her face.

Her eyes gradually lost their warmth as she looked at the shadow of the diamond-shaped window at her feet. She lifted her foot and stepped lightly, falling into the sunlight.

Shanzhi and Qinghan are a pair of interesting sisters. She carefully recalled every detail about Shanzhi in her mind and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

She could feel that Shan Zhi had good intentions, but... Shan Zhi cared more about Tuoba Jin's feelings, while Qinghan... cared about her.

Looking back at the pile of makeup boxes, she not only wanted to stay with Qinghan more, but also wanted to favor her.

Shan Zhi was right, she was biased.

After Tuoba Jin left the court, he went back to Qiuyue Palace. Seeing the little girl painting at the table, he walked lightly behind her.

He looked over the little girl's shoulder, saw the marks on the canvas, paused, then laughed, pulled over a chair and sat down, put his arm around her waist without getting angry, pinched her lightly, and asked, "How did Yue'er know that I was behind you?"

Xiao Linglang put down her pen, turned around and hummed coquettishly, holding her head high, "Of course I heard it. It was quiet inside and outside the house. Of course, the Wolf Lord is back."

After she finished speaking, she looked at his face and added, "And I can hear the Wolf Lord's footsteps."

Tuoba Jin laughed secretly, curled his lips and raised his eyebrows, "I walked lightly, our Yue'er has such good hearing."

"Wolf Lord, you don't have a place to stand." Xiao Linglang raised her eyelids and turned sideways to pick up her painting. "How about Wolf Lord, take a look?"

The little girl's eyes were bright, and she looked at him with a look of begging for praise. Tuoba Jin tightened his jaw, glanced at the painting, pinched her slender waist and said, "Yue'er's painting is naturally good, but I think there is something wrong with it."

"Which point?" Xiao Linglang asked seriously, her happy expression wrinkled together, and she glanced at him suspiciously. Didn't he not understand painting? How could he see that she had two places where her brushstrokes were unstable, although it didn't affect the overall picture.

Looking at his unfathomable expression, Xiao Linglang clenched her hands nervously, wondering if he had been secretly learning painting during this period of time.

He was busy with government affairs every day, flirting with her, and still finding time to learn painting. Xiao Linglang took a deep breath secretly. She still needed to be cautious when facing him.

Tuoba Jin slid his fingertips across the canvas, looked at the nervous person with his eyelids raised, stroked her back, and then murmured softly, frowned slightly, and said faintly: "No loneliness."

Xiao Linglang's ears were a little empty, "What (???.???)????"

“How can I not be beside Yue’er? Even if it’s a painting, I will stand beside Yue’er.” Tuoba Jin pointed at the little girl’s portrait and said seriously.

Xiao Linglang's eyes were blinking. She was startled by him just now and thought that his painting skills had improved during this period of time, to the point where he could point out the mistakes in other people's paintings.

She clenched her fist and hit the shoulder of the person who was questioning below, "Wolf Lord, you scared me. I thought it was because of the wrong stroke. This painting was just something I drew on impulse while getting dressed. I didn't expect so much."

With her arms crossed and clasped on his shoulders, Xiao Linglang smiled shyly, her watery almond eyes drooping as she said in a buzzing voice, "I will remember this next time, Wolf Lord, are you free today?"

"What does Yue'er want me to do with you?" Tuoba Jin's eyes were still fixed on the painting. Next to the pretty and lively little girl were his words, written in the Mobei language.

He reached out to catch the scroll that was about to slide off the edge of the table, and began to collect the painting. Since his name was on it, it meant that she had cheated by adding his name.

"My pony has been kept in a pen and has never been out. I went to see it two days ago and found it to be a little depressed." Her eyes were full of flattery. She smiled and looked at him, then lowered her head. "If Lord Wolf has nothing to do in the afternoon, can you accompany me to see it?"

Tuoba Jin nodded, lifted the chin of the person in his arms, leaned over and lingered on her lips for a while, and the irritability caused by the noise of the group of people in the court completely disappeared. "Rest well in the afternoon, Yue'er. I will take you there when I come back after I finish my business."

"Lord Wolf's affairs are more important, I am not anxious." Xiao Linglang said sensibly, and then thought of Qinghan's worries. She curled her eyelashes and smiled awkwardly: "Lord Wolf, I gave Qinghan and Shanzhi a pair of hairpins today. They are doing very well."

"It's okay. You can do with your things as you please. I will give you more." Tuoba Jin tapped his leg with his fingertips. Seeing the little girl pinching his sleeve, he narrowed his eyes and looked at her quietly, asking silently.
