The wicked imperial concubine is courting death again; the comments section teaches her how to win w

Qi Yitang snapped out of her daze and realized that Princess Anping had already put food to her lips. Embarrassed, she shrank back.

"Your Highness, you can eat by yourself, don't worry about me."

It's just a bit of fun to act cute with Xie Ling; she's not really so useless that she needs to be waited on hand and foot.

Princess Anping remained unmoved, saying, "At your pace, the child would faint from hunger."

Qi Yitang slumped down, "I just don't have much of an appetite..."

"Eat even if you don't have an appetite, open your mouth."

Qi Yitang, who clearly has hands and feet, was forced to open her mouth to be fed, and in the end, she was so full that she burped.

"Okay, okay, I can't eat anymore."

……

When Qi Jiyun entered the palace, she immediately launched into a tirade of complaints: "You are truly my good sister, having you is my blessing."

Qi Yitang was leaning against the windowsill, stroking the jade pendant left by Xie Ling in her hand, reminiscing about Xie Ling as she looked at the object.

His interruption pulled her out of her reverie. "What's wrong?"

Qi Jiyun's face was full of unspeakable emotions. "Good sister, thanks to you, Prince Xian now comes to see your brother every few days to ask when the third volume will be released."

I wonder if Xie Yunxing was born in the Year of the Crab, his mind is full of yellow.

They would come to harass him every few days, saying that they knew creative work required ideas and wanted to invite him to various brothels to find inspiration.

Although Qi Jiyun could also paint erotic pictures, he was still slightly inferior to Qi Yitang in terms of skill and emotion.

That person's talent is purely natural.

Most importantly, it's already July, and the imperial examinations will be held next March. He wants to become the top scholar and get married.

Qi Jiyun has reformed and is far removed from those vulgar things.

But Xie Yunxing was like a stubborn leech, impossible to shake off, and he was incredibly annoying.

Qi Yitang never expected that her impulsive decision would cause so much trouble. "Why don't you just get rid of him?"

"That's because I can't get rid of him! He's a prince, coming to my door with gifts and a smile, I can't just throw him out, can I?"

Qi Jiyun leaned closer, clasped his hands together, and said, "Good sister, I'm begging you, while your husband isn't here, could you draw a few pictures to appease him?"

Believe it or not, Qi Yitang did secretly draw some of her stockpiled works, avoiding Xie Ling.

To save her best brother, she cleared her throat.

"Serve me with pen and ink."

Qi Jiyun immediately and attentively laid out paper and ground ink, saying, "Please, please."

Seeing Qi Yitang barely regain half of her former energy and spirit, engrossed in drawing, Qi Jiyun breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

……

Once you reach a certain level of skill, drawing erotic pictures becomes second nature.

The scene, posture, and direction of the clothing folds were all clearly arranged in her mind, but as she painted, Qi Yitang's brush slowed down, and Xie Ling's image uncontrollably appeared in her mind.

He's been on his way for several days now, riding at breakneck speed. I wonder if he's tired from the journey, and if he's reached northern Xinjiang yet.

Will I get tanned or lose weight when I come back...?

As the pen moved with the heart, the lines drawn gradually deviated from the original concept.

While waiting, Qi Jiyun leaned close to Chi Zheng and shamelessly asked, "Have you missed me?", "Did you receive the things?", "What birthday present do you want?", before turning back to look.

It was a fleeting glimpse that truly amazed everyone.

His lips twitched, and his tone was subtle, "Master Qi, are you sure this is presentable to others?"

Qi Yitang snapped out of her daze and nearly dropped her pen.

The man in the painting had somehow been redrawn to resemble Xie Ling.

Her previous portraits were all unique, but compared to this one, they pale in comparison.

The entire painting is full of tension, with strong muscles, and in some places even exceeding the normal level... It can be said to be so erotic that it makes one's blood boil.

Qi Yitang's face instantly turned bright red. She hurriedly rolled up the drawing paper and held it tightly to her chest.

"Close your eyes, don't look!"

[This is amazing! I wonder if the female supporting character is interested in developing her career in South Korea.]

Teacher, you mustn't go astray!

Qi Jiyun turned around quietly. "Tsk, I know you miss your brother-in-law, but you don't have to draw something like this to satisfy your craving."

That didn't satisfy my craving!

Qi Yitang drew it unconsciously, and quickly told Yunzhu to take it away and lay out a new sheet of paper. "Alright, I'll draw it for you again. Don't talk anymore."

Qi Jiyun obediently made a shushing gesture.

If your mind is filled with yellow, you won't be constantly immersed in those recurring worries.

After working for several hours, Qi Yitang finally finished the manuscript and handed it to Qi Jiyun along with the previous ones. "Here you go, Fourth Brother. Make sure it sells for a good price. We'll split it 50/50."

Qi Jiyun shook hands solemnly, "My dear sister, wait for news from your brother!"

……

This unserious act actually kept Qi Yitang in a good mood for many days.

By the time Ning Nishang came to keep her company, she was completely normal; at least she wouldn't suddenly space out or cry while talking.

More than ten days after Xie Ling left, Qi Yitang received his first letter home.

My beloved Tangtang, it is as if we are meeting in person upon receiving this letter:

"I have arrived in the northern frontier. Your elder brother has awakened from his coma and is no longer in mortal danger..."

The first part consisted of some trivial matters to let her know she was safe, and in the middle, I asked her how she was feeling, whether she was sleeping well, and whether the baby was fussy.

His tone was gentle and indifferent, as if he were sitting next to her.

But later, he gradually became less serious, saying things like, "Last night I dreamt of you, and you looked much thinner than when I left the palace. My heart aches greatly. When I return home, if you've lost even a few pounds, you'll have to make it up to me several times. No arguments allowed."

The letter wasn't very long, but Qi Yitang read it over and over again many times.

As long as he comes back safely, I'll let him have his way no matter how many times.

She carefully smoothed out the letter and neatly tucked it into the small box beside her pillow.

The letter to Qi Yitang was full of warmth, and the military reports from the previous dynasty were also frequently reporting good news.

The emperor's personal visit to the northern frontier boosted the morale of the army. Within a few days, the lost Zhenbei Pass and Langxu Pass were recaptured in one fell swoop.

After a brief rest, Xie Ling ambushed the two armies in the valley between them. He first let the remnants of the Tuxia forces pass through, and then shot them with fire arrows when the Xianjue pursuers poured in. Taking advantage of their chaotic formation, he personally led his elite cavalry to break in from the flank and beheaded two of Kumobatu's generals.

The severed head was hung on the flagpole, and the Xianjue soldiers were terrified at the sight of it, retreating in defeat after defeat.

The leader of Tuxia felt a sense of foreboding. They were no match for the Emperor of Daqian. Their forces were insufficient, and their strategies were lacking. They were likely to be next.

So they hurriedly sent envoys to sue for peace, claiming that they had been misled by the Xianjue and had rashly invaded the border, and were willing to offer their sincerity.

Kumobatu was furious when he saw his ally betray him.

Before the major battle even officially began, the two sides started fighting amongst themselves.

When the good news reached Daqian, everyone was overjoyed, and Xie Changqing, who was obsessed with his brother, was especially proud of himself.

Just say his brother is a god descended to earth, invincible, there's nothing to worry about at all.

But Qi Yitang was very unhappy because when the leader of Tuxia sent an envoy to sue for peace, he sent Xie Ling a woman!
