Yue Qinghe's eyes darted between the fried chicken nuggets and Kung Pao Chicken as he smiled slyly,""I know, I know. Anyway, as long as I don't consummate my marriage with the Crown Prince, I will definitely be the most appropriate Crown Princess. You can just watch tonight's banquet and I promise to give you a surprise.”
Xiao Feng didn't know what Yue Qinghe was thinking and could only helplessly say,""It's better not to be frightened."
In the Jin Palace, there were many different rules on New Year's Eve. For breakfast, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess had to eat together. For lunch, the Emperor's entire family had to eat together. For dinner, all the officials in the palace had to eat together. Moreover, the banquet lasted for a very long time. During the banquet, there were all kinds of programs, such as singing, monkeys, acrobatics, magic tricks, song and dance, zither books, fireworks, and firecrackers. It sounded very lively.
Yue Qinghe had already set her sights on the banquet a few days ago. She imitated the modern era and decided to put on a unique performance. Of course, the participant was not herself.
Outside Fallen Flower Hall, the railings were still covered with a thin layer of snow. Ye Mo, who was wearing a white five-clawed dragon robe, stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back. The sky was white, and unknown emotions surged in his heart.
Originally, he had used the time alone during breakfast to express his feelings. He, who had always been calm and composed, actually made mistakes repeatedly. It was fine if he could not speak clearly, but he actually lost his composure.
The most terrible thing was that he actually took the initiative to ask her to call him husband! Although this was indeed a very common form of address, when he saw her clear eyes looking at him with confusion, he felt guilty. Guilty, she didn't know anything, and before he could say what he wanted to say, he was suffocated by her ignorant eyes.
Of course, he couldn't blame her. He could only blame himself. In the beginning, when she was trying to be nice to him and held his arm, he didn't know how to cherish her. When she saw him rushing over to see her so excited that she didn't even put on her shoes, he despised her. When she made him a plate of delicious Egg Fried Rice, he left in a huff...
At that time, she really treated him as her husband. At that time, he didn't like her. Now, there was still a long time between them. There was still a lifetime between them. What was there to be afraid of?
Thinking of this, Ye Ye felt relieved.
"Master, you should go back." Long Ling came out from behind and said in silence.
"Yes." Ye Ye turned around. There were still many things waiting for him to deal with today.
Yue Qinghe spent the entire morning collecting gifts. Everyone knew that it was the Crown Princess 'birthday, so all the immortals came out of the mountains, bringing little boys and carrying gift boxes to the Eastern Palace to celebrate her birthday.
Although Yue Qinghe was only eighteen years old, it was different to have a high status. Except for those who were higher than her status, they would only send palace maids to give gifts. The rest of the people would come to her door in person. Yue Qinghe thanked her until his mouth cramped, his feet cramped when he welcomed people, and his hands cramped when he received gifts. She was tired to death in one morning.
The presents piled up like a mountain. Yue Qinghe looked at the presents happily and thought that he might as well stay up all night to unwrap the presents since he couldn't sleep tonight anyway.
With this thought in mind, someone came over to announce that the family banquet at Tai 'an Palace had begun.
Yue Qinghe brought Xiao Feng to Chuan Zhai to find Ye Ye.
Yue Qinghe walked to the Chuanzhai and looked at the red Koi carps pasted on the windows of the palace today. He suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Feng saw her stop and asked in confusion.
"I think I've been here before." Yue Qinghe rubbed his chin and looked up at the sky. Did she come here that day to hear the rumors? Then, he heard a big secret. What would he hear today? Yue Qinghe mischievously asked Xiao Feng to lower his voice while he stealthily stepped forward and stuck his eyes to the window paper, poking a small hole and looking inside.
If Yue Qinghe was given a second chance, she would never do such a thing again. Because, because, she saw that the so-called Crown Prince who did not take a Secondary Consort was drawing a portrait of a person on a large piece of paper. The painting was not finished, but one could vaguely see that it was a woman's appearance. Looking at the Crown Prince's affectionate appearance, it was definitely the person the Crown Prince loved. So that was the case. No wonder he was so angry when he heard that he wanted to take in a secondary consort. It was because this woman must have occupied quite a big position in his heart. He definitely did not want her to be such a small position as a secondary consort. Moreover, no wonder he was unwilling to take in the daughters of the outer goddesses of those officials. It was because of this. No wonder he was very angry that she had made up stories about him and the Second Prince. So that was the reason!
Yue Qinghe's mind was filled with endless imagination, and he connected everything that happened a hundred years ago one by one. He suddenly felt enlightened. All the mysteries had been revealed. That was great!
Thus, she secretly moved her eyes away from the small hole and pretended to be calm, imitating the scenes in those stories. She leaned into Xiao Feng's ear and said softly and mysteriously,""This crown prince consort has never been here at this time today, do you understand?”
Xiao Feng found it funny. He didn't know what she had seen, but he still obeyed her and said," I know."”
Yue Qinghe left Chuanzhai on tiptoe and walked to an open space where he could talk freely. He decisively decided to go to the banquet after he finished drawing.”
Therefore, Yue Qinghe took Xiao Feng for a walk in the Eastern Palace, acting out a scholar's treading on snow to find plum blossoms. She walked here and there like a queen inspecting her own territory.
In Chuanzhai, Ye Ye's hand on the paper trembled. She waited until the people outside the window had gone far away before she heaved a sigh of relief and whispered to Long Ling, who was hiding in the dark,""Did you see it clearly? Did she see who the person in my painting was?”
Long Ling nodded without a trace of emotion." Yes, this subordinate saw it clearly. Her Highness the Crown Princess Consort did leave after seeing clearly who Your Highness drew.”
"Then, did her expression change?”Ye Ye stared at the dragon feather nervously.
If Long Qing was here, he would definitely describe every detail of Yue Qinghe just to make the Crown Prince feel at ease. Unfortunately, Long Ling was not someone who could understand such meticulous thoughts. He answered truthfully,""Your Highness, the crown prince consort only looked through the small hole in the paper window for a while. This subordinate did not see the crown prince consort's expression after she left.”
Ye Ye was disappointed for a moment, then his gaze fell on the Xuan paper again. He said hesitantly," This painting of mine, isn't it a little different? She has seen Second Brother's painting before. After all, it's a fact that my painting skills are inferior to Prince Gong's…"
"His Lord's painting is naturally first-class, the Crown Princess Consort will definitely be able to understand it.”Long Ling replied without hesitation. In his heart, his master was the most powerful person in the world, no matter what. Unfortunately, they didn't know that not only did the person involved not know that Ye Ye had deliberately drawn a portrait of her when she was about to invite the Crown Prince to the banquet, but he had also done it so that she would see it when she pushed open the door and come in. He had used this chance to pierce through that layer of paper window, even though it was the real paper window that had been pierced through in the end. That Yue Qinghe, who didn't take the usual path, had not seen it openly but had peeked at it, and he had even thought that he had guessed the Crown Prince's thoughts. He even pretended not to see anything and leisurely looked at the brick railings of the Eastern Palace.
Ye Ye thought that she must have understood what was on his mind when she saw him draw her, and then left because she was too embarrassed. But she must have sensed something in her heart.
When he looked back at the half-completed painting, he had a plan in mind.
From time to time, Ye Rang would receive this painting of a beautiful lady. With a glance, he could tell that the person in the painting was Yue Qinghe. Then, he heard the person who sent the painting say that he hoped that he would finish the painting before sending it back. Ye Rang sneered in his heart. This was a subtle reminder to him that although he could get close to Yue Qinghe now, the latter would eventually return to his side. This was to remind him of her identity and to be on guard.
Ye Ye put away the painting. Seeing that it was getting late, he brought his men out.
At the royal banquet in the afternoon, the Crown Prince was late. The crane cloak that was carefully draped around her was obviously the Crown Prince's. Upon closer inspection, the Crown Princess Consort's cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes were stained with tears. Her pink face was bashful and pitiful. Everyone immediately guessed the reason why the Crown Prince Consort was late. However, they saw Yue Qinghe greet everyone first. When he saw that everyone was looking at her strangely, he actually turned his head to look at the Crown Prince. How much unhappiness was contained in his eyes!
The Empress Dowager and the Empress exchanged glances and said privately,"It seems that our Pin 'er will still take the initiative." "After all, he's the Crown Prince…" His old eyes were filled with joy. The Empress knew that the Empress Dowager was anxious to carry her grandson and that everyone seemed to think that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were late because of the matters in the boudoir, so she was somewhat suspicious. Knowing her son's character, she naturally would not believe that he had such guts. Then, her gaze shifted from Yue Qinghe's slightly messy hair and mesmerized eyes to the Crown Prince's crane cloak draped over him and the mud and snow on his shoes. She then smiled slightly and understood.
The camera returned to a moment ago. Yue Qinghe was wandering around the Eastern Palace when he saw Ye Ye Mo come out. He walked over naturally, intending to go to the banquet together. In the end, in the end, he was startled by the hand he suddenly stretched out. He slipped and fell straight onto the snow that had yet to melt. This was not the point. The point was that Ye Mo was standing right in front of him, staring at her with his mouth agape as she fell to the ground and did not even know how to help her up. Then, then she was helped up by Xiao Feng. It was too late for her to change her clothes. She only needed to take his crane cloak and put it on. Fortunately, the snow wasn't dirty. When she thought about how Ye Ye, the culprit, actually didn't help her up and just watched her fall, she couldn't help but glare at him.
As expected, people who had a sweetheart were different. She really wanted to see who the person in the painting was. He liked her so much, so why didn't he just take her over and throw her into the cold palace? When she thought of this, she suddenly remembered that he had said solemnly before,"You are the only one among my concubines."”Thinking about the fact that he didn't take a concubine, his heart sank.
