Nobody dares to speak anything as the room feels so stuffy. Lin Yue and Ni Sheng know better than anyone the sensitivity of Ni Qing ptes. Meanwhile, Jin Yu is sitting at the table and reviewing the tablet of document for his wife. Ni Qing is looking at him with amusement. His sculptured perfect face looks so handsome when his eyes are glued to the document in his hand.


    "Quickly eat your food before it''s gotten cold…." Jin Yu is telling her to eat. Ni Qing is obediently slurping the food before she is reaching out to the nearby bowl and retching out the remaining food inside her stomach. She cannot eat nor fill her stomach.


    "Are you okay, my love? Call He toe in and check on her!" Jin Yu is going closer to his wife who is squatting at the corners of the room. Lin Yue feels her suffering and gets her the towel before hees closer to Ni Qing and helping her.


    "I am fine. It''s just my stomach cannot cope with the food." Ni Qing is getting the towel from Lin Yue hand and wipe her mouth with it. Lin Yue is taking out the small bottle from his belt pouch and open the cap on top of the bottle and hand the bottle to Ni Qing. She takes it and breathes the content before she feels relieves. Jin Yu feels jealous to see Lin Yue''s treatment of his wife.


    "Stop it!" Jin Yu is telling Lin Yue to restrain himself.


    "I am just trying to help," Lin Yue is bowing before taking the step back.


    Apparently, they did not know that concubine Long is listening in the front door. She was in the noble consort Qing to make amend and suck up to her. she knows the news regarding noble consort Qing pregnancy, and she wants to befriend to survive inside the cruel pce. However, she just finds out about the extra attention from General Lin Yue toward Ni Qing.


    She is going back to her pce with the important revtion toward her enemy''s information. She needs to calm her down to think about the next n.


    ---


    Ni Sheng is leaving her sister pce when Jin Yu possessiveness kicks in, and he throws everyone out from his sister pce. He moves her into his pce to return to his daily activity, which turns into chaos when he has to move into her residence.


    Out of the trance, he is walking toward the market when he bumps into this beautifuldy but unruly behaviour.


    "Where are your eyes? can you walk nicely rather than bumping into people like a drunk person?" Ru Ya is yelling without any restrain toward Ni Sheng.


    "I am drunk…. Hey, I think you are intentionally bumping to me when walking after seeing I am using the ministry robe," Ni Sheng is joining the argument which made the people surrounding them. Out of the blue, Ru Ya is squatting down and crying out loud after she can see the public around them.


    "Oh My Gosh, I am themoner and the emperor minster try to bully me," Ru Ya is bawling her eyes off. She is hiding her face between her knee and making a loud condescending voice which makes people pointing finger to Ni Sheng.


    "You…. You…. Can you be quiet, and we solve it nicely?" Ni Sheng is squatting in front of her and sping his hand together in front of her. he never thought to find another woman as his sister. It kind of captivated him.


    "Promise me to take me for a meal now aspensation!" she is whispering to him.


    "I will take you to a nice restaurant for a meal if you are stopped your act now," Ni Sheng is giving up to her mischievous deeds.


    "Let''s go…." Ru Yan is giving out her hand. Ni Sheng is holding it out and escorting her to Ni Qing''s restaurant.


    In the restaurant, Ni Sheng is asking for a VIP room for them to the manager. He is letting the girle inside before he orders sets of meal for them.


    "Please let me introduce myself. My name is Ni Sheng from the Ni family in the capital," Ni Sheng is bowing with his hand sping to thedy who sits in front of him.


    "My name is Ru Ya. I juste to the capital and lives with my brother. Nice to meet you, Mr Ni," Ru Ya is doing the curtsy to the person in front of her.


    "I am sorry if I was rude earlier. Please ept my apologies as I have a bad day. As apologise, Please let me drink three cups of wine," Ni Sheng is pouring the wine into his cup and drink it exactly three cups.


    "it is fine. I was ignorant also. Please ept my apologies by drinking three cups of wine also," Ru Ya is pouring the wine to the cup and drink it three cups.


    They are having a good time together and talking together. They are eating the good food and enjoying each other apaniment until its almost time for curfew. Ru Ya is bidding him goodbye in front of the restaurant. She is walking back to her brother mansion with her maid.


    "Miss, do you think that he will take your bait?" Ru Ya''s maid is making a question toward her master.


    "I do not know. However, I put my future in his hand rather than going inside the pce as my brother puppet. I refuse to do it," Ru Ya is telling her maid while they are walking home.


    "Yes, miss. I will follow your instruction," her maid replies to her master.


    They are going inside the house and Ru Ya has to think about her next step when her brother calls her into his study. He is running his household pretty tight, and Ru Ya feels sorry for her sister-inw. She is not feeling well and chatting sutra every day when her brother not home.


    Ru Ya is entering his study and doing some curtsy to respect her brother.


    "Where are you going today untiling backte," Jeong is asking his sister. He is calling her to the capital to get into the concubine selection for the emperor when Jin Yu''s just dismissed two of his concubines.


    "I was lost in the city. It is so big, and I meet with my dear friend," Ru Ya is making an excuse to her brother.


    "Remember, you are here for a reason. Do not do something recklessly," Jeong is giving out the word to his sister before his assistante and whisper something to his ear.


    "You can go back to your room," Jeong is leaving his study to follow his assistant.


    Ru Ya is walking back to her room and ask her maid to find out when is the concubine selection exact time. She needs to do something really quickly before the time for the concubine selectione.


    She is sitting in her room with an unsettling feeling about the concubine selection. She is refusing to enter the pce and be her brother political pawn. The maides back and informs her the time will be the day after tomorrow. As soon as she finds out the time for the concubine selection. She is writing a letter to arranges a meet up with Ni Sheng.


    The next day, Ni Sheng is going directly to a hotel room as her letter. She is asking for some help from Ni Sheng to apany her to have fun. Ni Shenges to the room where no one inside the room. It does not take long for Ru Ya toe inside the room.


    "Why we do not drink in the restaurant and have to be inside this room," Ni Sheng is asking curiously the girl who looks so beautiful today. She is wearing a pink dress with her long hair down. She is wearing a peach lips colour and pink rouge to make her face look so sophisticated yet tempting. Ni Sheng finally realises that he falls in love with the girl in front of him at first sight.


    "My brother does not allow me to drink in public. I want to drink wine, and no one can find out about this thing. I believe that you can keep this as our secret," Ru Yan is answering his question.


    "Then, today will be my treat, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to keep this as our secret," Ni Sheng is raising his cup to toast with her.


    They are drinking the wine and keep iting to the room. Ni Sheng can not imagine that he is finding the replica of his sister. She is having a good alcohol tolerance and it amused Ni Sheng. He is not a good drinker and he feels lightheaded already after the first jar of wine. The wine tastes so light but it actually makes him a bit drunk and blurs.
