On this day, Yue Qinghe was both happy and worried. He was happy that it was the new year and his birthday, but he was worried that he was going to consummate his marriage with the Crown Prince.
As for consummating the marriage, the suggestions and attitudes of the palace maids beside him were completely different.
The few palace maids in Su Yan's group were very supportive, but the Empress sent Hua Shan and the other two to look down on them. As for the palace maid beside him, Xiao Feng had a wait-and-see attitude. Dieyun was very excited and said that this was not possible. She must keep her chastity for the Second Prince. As for how the Second Prince appeared, Yue Qinghe did not quite understand."The princess is the crown prince's consort. She should be in harmony with the crown prince and give birth to the little crown prince as soon as possible.”It turned out that this was the maternal type. Yue Qinghe secretly called himself eighteen years old. Getting married was already disgraceful, how could he still have children! Therefore, this house must not be round!
As for how to make this room round? Yue Qinghe thought hard and came up with the following plans:
Plan A: I won't consummate the marriage with you, so you can sleep in another room. This was too direct, so he gave up.
Plan B, stalling method: My health is not good these few days, so I'd better not make a round. This was a huge sacrifice, so he gave up.
Plan three, kill with a borrowed knife. Once the candles were blown out, she slipped away and let someone else consummate the marriage in her place. This was too immoral and too risky, so he gave up.
Option 4, the switching method: directly knock him out and sleep until dawn. There's no need to round it up!
Yue Qinghe carefully studied it and finally decided to use the last plan. The problem seemed to have been solved. Yue Qinghe was very happy. He slept until dawn. When he woke up, it was New Year's Eve.
"On New Year's Eve, we get rid of the old and welcome the new. On the last day of the year, a ritual to exorcise evil spirits will be held in the Imperial Palace. The various officials of the Imperial Army will put on masks and change into colorful clothes, acting as Zhong Kui, the door god, the judge, the earth god, and other gods to exorcise evil spirits from the Imperial Palace.”
Su Yan was combing Yue Qinghe's hair while explaining the customs of the Jin Country on New Year's Eve. Yue Qinghe looked at the mirror in high spirits and asked curiously,"Outside the palace? It should be very lively. Can I go and watch?”
Su Yan said awkwardly,"It'll be over once they're out of Nanxun Gate."”Seeing Yue Qinghe's disappointed expression, he hurriedly added,""Actually, there's nothing much to see. Tonight, we'll be keeping watch and setting off fireworks and firecrackers. Also, tonight's banquet will last until midnight, and the scene will be very grand. Today is also the crown prince consort's birthday, so there should be a lot of things to do. After breakfast, we still have to meet with the people from the palace who came to congratulate us.”
Yue Qinghe replied with an 'oh' and looked at Su Yan who had already combed her hair in the mirror. Her fingers quickly flipped up and down as she folded a bunch of hair and asked respectfully,"What kind of bun does the Crown Princess Consort want to wear today?”
Yue Qinghe thought for a moment." I'll do it in a bun." I'll also take my red scarf with the pattern of an ingot and wear it.”
"Yes." Su Yan agreed and skillfully combed Yue Qinghe's hair into a bun. Yue Qinghe himself took out a red coral pearl hairpin from the jewelry box and put it on, then changed into a similar earring. Xiao Feng came over and carefully painted a red plum petal makeup on Yue Qinghe's forehead, putting on a thin layer of red rouge. His outfit was simple yet generous.
Yue Qinghe pressed his stomach and twisted his handkerchief. He stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself shyly. He smiled and said,""It's my birthday today. Everyone, hurry up and give me your presents.”
"I was already prepared.”Xiao Feng smiled and presented her a small box." Let me see what it is."”
Yue Qinghe happily went to take the box. Xiao Feng pushed the box behind him." Not yet. You still have to go to the Eastern Palace to have breakfast with the Crown Prince." We'll see when we get back."
Yue Qinghe toot." Alright, I'll see when I get back. And you guys, I can't miss out on any of my gifts!”Yue Qinghe pointed at the palace maids standing in the room. Hearing Yue Qinghe's childish words, the few of them smiled, knowing that the Crown Princess was still a childish master.
"It has to be different, original, and less expensive.”After Yue Qinghe finished speaking, he felt completely relieved. Not bad, as the Crown Princess Consort, she would definitely receive many birthday gifts!
He thought of something and mysteriously pulled Xiao Feng to the screen and asked,""My gift has already been delivered to the State of Yue, right?”
Xiao Feng's heart moved, and he said teasingly on the surface,""I didn't expect you to remember that you have the same birthday as our princess. Don't worry, your gift will probably be delivered to the princess today.”
Yue Qinghe had sent a gift to the real princess of Yue Country a month ago.
When Yue Qinghe heard this, he nodded happily and held his scarf with a yearning expression.”
Xiao Feng smiled." You two seem like real sisters now."”
Yue Qinghe thought for a moment,"If not for this, would you have chosen me?"”He sighed again." Now I've really thought it through. Actually, you guys are really good to me. You're not mean to me, and you don't let me pretend to be a spy to spy on you. I'm actually a little embarrassed to be eating, drinking, and having fun all day long.”
As he said that, he looked at Xiao Feng in embarrassment.
Xiao Feng smiled and shook his head." I didn't speak coldly to you back then. You don't bear a grudge now?" " Well, now we should go and see the Crown Prince. Don't think so simply. You will meet many important figures in Jin today. Don't expose yourself. Moreover, there will be…" Xiao Feng looked at Yue Qinghe with worry and amusement.
Yue Qinghe rolled his eyes indifferently,""I know. Anyway, if I do anything, just don't come over and scold me again.”
"Up to you, Crown Princess Consort." Xiao Feng helplessly looked at this little girl who had been spoiled by this Jin Country and sighed for a long time.
When she came to the State of Yue and the Princess made the decision to let her marry in place of her, no one expected the situation to be like this. In just half a year, she had won the favor of everyone in the palace and became a popular figure in the harem.
Xiao Feng didn't know if he should say that the people in the palace were very tolerant, or that Yue Qinghe had the ability to turn danger into safety and win everyone's favor. In short, if the person who married over was really the princess, it would probably not be the situation today.
What Xiao Feng did not understand was how Yue Qinghe could easily win the favor of so many people without doing anything.
Just like how he had doubted and hated her in the beginning, but now he liked her very much and took care of her very much, the Empress, Princess, and Crown Prince's attitudes were the same. They had gone from being cold in the beginning to liking her now.
She was still a child, and she was very compatible with the Crown Prince. One hot and one cold, they could complement each other. As long as their relationship became close, as the princess of Yue Country, she believed that Yue Country and Jin Country could still maintain the previous situation. Then the princess would be at ease.
Thinking of Princess Sanyue who was far away in Yue Country, Xiao Feng felt his heart ache. That princess who was cold on the surface, used to holding a lot of power in her hands, and stood at the forefront to protect others, was she alright now alone in Yue Country?
Xiao Feng took the umbrella and followed behind Yue Qinghe. Looking at the Crown Princess who was grumbling unhappily because she had to have breakfast with the Crown Prince, he shook his head in his heart. The same name, but different encounters. Crown Princess, do you know that if it wasn't for the person in the Eastern Palace, would you be able to live a carefree life in this palace?
She had " schemed " to think of a way to get through tonight's consummation, not knowing that as long as she showed the intention of refusing, the person in the Eastern Palace would not force her.
Those who were involved in the matter were more confused than those who were watching. Xiao Feng stepped into the snow, and with a creak, the person in front was quickly attracted by the ice that was hanging on a parasol tree. He sniggered and touched the cone-shaped ice with his fingers, and with a smile, he pulled it off and threw it into Long Qing's collar, waiting to see the other party jump up from the ice. Who knew that Long Qing's skin was thick and did not react at all.
Xiao Feng couldn't help but cough to remind the other party so that Yue Qinghe could see the comical look that he wanted to see. Who knew that Long Qing would turn his head back when he heard her cough and touch the ice crystal on his neck like a tiger. Then, he looked at Xiao Feng as if he understood something and smiled at Xiao Feng foolishly.
Xiao Feng was stunned and turned his head to look at Yue Qinghe. That child was covering her mouth and laughing secretly, looking like she was caught in an affair. Xiao Feng glared at her in annoyance, thinking in his heart, how could he forget that this woman liked to be a matchmaker?
She thought maliciously in her heart,'You like to be a matchmaker. In the past, you pulled strings for the Crown Prince. Who knew that you didn't become a matchmaker and instead got yourself involved?'
Yue Qinghe made a face in response to Xiao Feng's glare and went to spin her umbrella again.
Xiao Feng's lips curled up after she turned around. He hoped that she and the Crown Prince would soon be together, so that there would be no more disputes between the two countries. He also hoped that her princess could soon be like her, spending New Year's Eve with a carefree smile.
Xiao Feng was thinking about the princess of Yue Country. His expression was gentle and his smile was light. She didn't know that Long Qing didn't look away, so she was stunned.
Yue Country.
On New Year's Eve, Princess March had already changed into her sacrificial dress early in the morning to pay her respects to the successive emperors of Yue Country. According to the etiquette system of Yue Country, every prince and princess had to go to the memorial tablet to offer incense on their birthday.
Yue Qinghe stood in the Zong Consortium Palace and stared at the tablets of the past Grand Lords of Yue Country for a long time.
The State of Yue was located further south than the State of Jin, so it was warmer than the State of Jin in winter. However, the Palace of Yue was much colder than the Palace of Jin. The cold of winter seemed to invade every corner of the palace city, quietly climbing up everyone's eyebrows, sleeves, and robes.
Yue Qinghe's exquisite and beautiful face was expressionless as usual. It was indifferent and cold, just like the first wisp of cold air that greeted him when he opened the window in the morning. It was clear and cold. After taking a deep breath, it seeped into his heart and lingered around his entire heart.
