Ye Ye's heart moved again and again with the words of the person in front of him. When he heard her say that the two of them were only engaged in marriage, which was an obvious way to draw a clear line between them, he felt very gloomy. When she said that she would not do anything that would harm his interests, he felt that she was protecting him, but he was also a little happy. When she explained that there was no ambiguous relationship between him and Ye Rang, he suddenly felt even happier. The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. He coughed again to cover it up and said," Actually…" I don't think there's anything between you and my second brother. However, before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Yue Qinghe,""Actually, I think that we can do our own things and just maintain a superficial peace. Oh right, I heard that you are going to take in a secondary consort on your birthday. You have already done so, right? Remember not to ask them to come and pay their respects. I have been sick for a while and have not seen anyone. Oh right, I also heard that one of your favorite concubines is pregnant. Since you have a child, bring her in from outside the palace and give her a status. Don't worry about me. The mother and son are so pitiful…"
Yue Qinghe was about to say something when he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was a little off. He raised his head and saw Ye Ye's frosty face. His eyes were filled with gloom,""Who told you to take a concubine? Hmm? I even have a child outside the palace? Who did you hear that from?"
Yue Qinghe shivered unconsciously and quickly hugged the small heater in his hand tightly. He swallowed his saliva and felt as if he had returned to the night of their wedding, when Ye Mo had forced him to admit that he was a good man. He forced himself to straighten his neck and say righteously,"I heard what you told my palace maids. The one called Jiaolan and the one who washed the eaves told me.”
Jiaolan and Xiyan suddenly sneezed in the Liusou Palace. They had been quite pitiful recently. Because the Crown Princess did not like the Crown Prince, she hated the house and the crows. She did not treat them well either. She was also very bored in the Palace and had to pretend to be sick to not see people, so she often asked them to talk about interesting things in the Palace. After listening to them for a long time, she felt that those trivial facts were annoying and said,"Let's not talk about these trivial things anymore. Pick something more explosive and talk about it.”Then, she held her chin and stared straight at them. Helpless, she could only half-fabricate and half-fabricate many things. There was no other way. The Crown Prince had assigned them to the Crown Princess precisely to make her happy.
When Yue Qinghe was tired from practicing calligraphy, he would often sit by the stove with a plate of snacks and listen to the news of the Jin Palace. This was a familiar scene in Liusou Court.
The haze in Ye Ye's eyes deepened, and his tone was unreadable."Do you believe what they say?"
Yue Qinghe rolled his eyes and gave an expression that said,"" They're your people!"
Ye Ye was helpless. He was amused by her expression, but he also felt that it was really infuriating in his heart. He lowered his voice and said,""Then listen well. BenGong has never taken in a secondary consort, nor do I have a concubine who is pregnant outside the palace. What I have is only you, the crown prince consort.”
Yue Qinghe was holding the small heater. When he heard this, he looked at the solemn expression on his face and was stunned.
The winter in Jin was cold and the nights were long. It was especially so in the Jin royal palace. Once night fell, the north wind began to howl. When it blew past the window paper, it made a vibrating sound, as if it would blow through the window paper.
Yue Qinghe returned to the Liusou Court, washed up, and lay on his bed for a long time, but he still couldn't fall asleep. For some reason, she felt that the last sentence Ye Ye said to her in the carriage was a little different from usual. As for what was different, she couldn't tell.
However, Ye Ye did not take in a secondary consort or something like that, which was really out of Yue Qinghe's expectations. Didn't Ye Ye tell him the other day that there would be many officials sending their daughters, nieces, and nieces to his coronation ceremony?
Yue Qinghe couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. Counting the days, this year was almost over. It would be New Year's Eve in a few days, and then the new year would be celebrated in the palace with the members of the royal family. The foreign members would return, and the princes who had sealed their territories would also return. At that time, everyone would be together, and it would probably be very lively.
Yue Qinghe stared at the bed curtain for a long time without blinking.
At that time, she would become an official member of the royal family. However, what identity should she use to face those people? Crown Princess? The Crown Princess of Jin.
Yue Qinghe let out a long sigh. He stretched out his left hand from the warm blanket and pinched it into the shape of a fox." Yue Qinghe, Yue Qinghe, who are you? Are you the princess of Yue or the crown princess of Jin?”
The other little fox moved its mouth and replied,""No, no, I'm neither the princess of Yue nor the crown princess of Jin. I'm just an ordinary girl who transmigrated here.”
The fox on his left blinked." Then why don't you live here well?”
The fox in his right hand lowered his eyes." Because I don't like this place. I want to go home…"
Yue Qinghe put down his hand in disappointment and looked at the bed curtain absentmindedly. Yes, although she had been here for a long time, she did not have a sense of belonging. She did not belong here. She used to think that if she belonged to a place, she had to establish a relationship with the people there. But what about her? She had no friends or relatives, and the only person she was close to was Song Yun, but she was dead. No matter what, she couldn't let it go.
How could a person's death be so simple?
Yue Qinghe felt very tired. She had always been a person without a plan. She was used to taking one step at a time. In the modern world, her life was arranged according to the Leo Yue mother. She went to whatever school she wanted to go to. She never did anything else when she was told to study obediently. Yue mother said that she would leave her alone when she turned eighteen. She had been waiting for that day to be free to do what she wanted. However, New Year's Eve was around the corner, and she was about to turn eighteen. She was very confused and did not know what to do or what to change.
She had no family or friends here. She could not understand the people in the palace, nor could she understand their thoughts, especially Ye Ye. At first, he was very bad to her, but after he executed Song Yun, he gradually treated her better. This made her feel a deep sense of guilt. She felt that everything she had now was because of the death of Song Yun's family.
She wanted to go home, she wanted to leave this place. Regardless of whether Ye Ye took in a secondary consort or not, regardless of whether they treated her well or not, she didn't want to stay here anymore.
However, just as this thought took root, a palace maid came to pass the message the next day, saying that Yue Qinghe could go out to attend the banquet and that he could recover from paying respects.
After that, Yue Qinghe could only go to Ye An Palace to pay his respects, but the Empress Dowager kindly smiled at her and said,""It looks like the Crown Princess 'body has almost recovered and Pin' er has already performed her coronation ceremony. Let's pick a good day and settle the second half of the wedding.”
Yue Qinghe listened to these words in confusion. Before he could understand, the Empress added leisurely," The etiquette system of our Jin Dynasty is clear. Everything is done according to etiquette. The rules of our ancestors have never been crossed. Even the etiquette of the Duke of Zhou cannot be performed before the Crown Prince is crowned. I am also trembling with fear as I want Piao 'er to do it. Therefore, there is no need to be reserved as the crown princess. Pin 'er is the same as you.”
Yue Qinghe was confused by the Empress 'words and only understood after a long time. Combined with what the Empress Dowager had said earlier, Yue Qinghe suddenly understood," He wanted her to consummate her marriage with Ye Ye!! What was even more shocking was that Ye Ye was the same as him, a virgin!!!
Yue Qinghe was shy, shocked, and panicked. After the Empress finished speaking, Consort De started to argue with the Empress." Is the Empress implying something?”Consort De's beautiful foxy eyes coldly raised as she aggressively asked.
"What do you mean, little sister?" the Empress said gently.”
Consort De snorted and turned her head away without saying anything. Everyone knew that Consort De's second prince, Ye Rang, was born to be a playboy. The Empress had said that Ye Mo abided by the rules and etiquette and was still known for his reputation, but the second prince…
Although Consort De felt uncomfortable, this was an irrefutable fact. If she said it out loud, it would cause more criticism. Seeing that Consort De was no longer speaking, the Empress also changed the topic. She smiled appropriately."New Year's Eve is the Crown Princess 'birthday. This is the Crown Princess' first birthday since she came to the Jin Country.”
When Yue Qinghe heard this, he was very surprised. How did the Empress know that his birthday was New Year's Eve?
The Empress did not explain, but everyone was very interested. Consort Liang was always straightforward."Since that's the case, it's New Year's Eve and also the Crown Princess 'birthday, so we have to hold a proper celebration. The palace had never been so lively before.”
The concubines described the lively New Year's Eve scene one after another. As Yue Qinghe listened, he couldn't help but think of the poem 'The Sapphire Case' on the New Year's Eve.
"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, blowing down even more, the stars are like rain.”Yue Qinghe muttered softly.
"The Crown Princess Consort is talking about fireworks, right?”A crisp voice continued Yue Qinghe's words. Yue Qinghe turned his head and saw a young lady dressed in palace clothes. She was dressed like a concubine and had delicate features. She was smiling and smiling. Yue Qinghe recalled for a moment and before he could remember what her name was, this lady had already said with a smile,"This concubine is Concubine Li, the birth mother of the Eleventh Prince.”
Yue Qinghe smiled embarrassedly,""So it's Concubine Li."
Concubine Li didn't mind. She looked at Yue Qinghe and said with a smile,""Does Your Highness like fireworks? There were fireworks all night long on New Year's Eve in the palace.”
"Is that so?" Yue Qinghe was quite happy.
"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, blowing down even more, the stars are like rain.”Concubine Li repeated the phrase, her eyes curved.”
Yue Qinghe was embarrassed and scratched his head." Concubine Li, you misunderstood. I didn't write this. It was…written by a very famous poet in the State of Yue.”
