"Listen up, don't let anyone know about what happened today. If you dare to leak any information, you won't be able to see the sun the next day.”Empress Nalan said.
Yuming and Lan Xin nodded and said,"We will obey Your Majesty's orders."”
"Lan Xin, go to the Saint Ancestor Palace and watch over the Crown Princess. Don't let her slack off. Also, if anyone asks, tell them that the Crown Princess is grateful for the Emperor's grace and is praying for the ancestors in the Saint Ancestor Hall for a day.”
"Yes, Empress." Lan Xin accepted the order.
Nalan Xiuhui then said to Lan Xin,"The Crown Prince is not feeling well. Send a few more palace maids to guard the Imperial Dragon Hall and serve the Crown Prince well."”
"Yes, Empress."
Lan Xin and Qingcheng went to the Saint Ancestor Palace together.
"Mother, Qingcheng didn't do anything wrong. Why must you punish her so severely?”"Wouldn't we be a joke to outsiders?" said Jin Yuqi.”
"It's better to be a joke than to have no children, right? Alright, don't mention this matter again. You should rest well. Mother will come to see you in two days.”
"Farewell, Empress!" Yuming bowed and said.
Looking at his mother's departing figure, Jin Yuqi felt that he was very useless. Why did he have to act up at this time? He couldn't even protect his wife. He, the crown prince, was so useless!
Because of the Empress's order to keep her mouth shut, the Crown Princess Consort's " immoral behavior " was not known to many people. Qingcheng had been kneeling in the Saint Ancestor Palace for 24 hours without drinking a single drop of water. She could barely walk. It was Lan Xin who helped the crown prince consort back to Blessing Palace.
Blessing Hall's Qingfeng Mingyue and the others thought that the Empress was tired after returning from the Imperial Dragon Hall's night, so they did not ask further. Fortunately, Qingcheng had a very good constitution and practiced martial arts all year round. She only recovered after resting quietly in the hall for three days.
"Niangniang, why haven't I seen you go out these few days?”Happy Green asked.
"My body is a little tired. Embroidery and admiring the flowers will do.”"By the way, is there any news from the Imperial Dragon Palace?" Qingcheng asked.”
Yi Qing lowered her head and said nothing.
"What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty may not know, but the Empress has already ordered that the four consorts will serve the Crown Prince tonight.”
"Oh, I see. Got it." Qingcheng felt very uncomfortable, as if there was a fishbone stuck in her throat.
Yi Qing consoled her,"Your Highness, this is how the palace is. Your Highness and concubines are all involuntarily controlled. You should be more open-minded."”
"Yi Qing, I understand what you mean. I'll try my best.”Qingcheng wouldn't force herself, so she just let her heart be at ease. She felt like crying when she thought about the possibility of the Crown Prince having women on his left and right.
"Niangniang, the female servant will go down to do other things. You should rest well.”Yi Qing found an excuse to leave.
Qingcheng stared blankly at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window. I wonder if the Crown Prince is feeling better? It must be very uncomfortable to get this cold disease. Is it really incurable? Was medicine really useless for his headache? There was also a strange red rash. Why wasn't it red or itchy when the crown prince touched it? Is it already healed? Qingcheng thought about it and suddenly decided that she had to go to Huichun Hall. Instead of sitting here and letting her imagination run wild, she might as well read some medical books. Perhaps she would find something.
The Imperial Dragon Hall had been diagnosed by the imperial physicians, saying that the Crown Prince's old illness had passed. The Empress then sent the consort to the Crown Prince's place.
At this moment, the four consorts were ordered by the Empress to accompany the Crown Prince in the Imperial Dragon Palace. When they learned of this exciting news, they were so happy that they didn't know what to do, but they were also nervous.
The four of them knelt down and bowed.”They didn't have any titles yet, and because of that, they cherished this opportunity even more. Once the one who received the favor first had the hope of becoming a consort first.
Jin Yuqi stood high up in the air. Looking at their beaded heads, he couldn't help but think of Qingcheng. Her cloud-like hair was only decorated with simple flowers, but she was also elegant and simple. Unlike these few who wanted to open a jewelry shop.
"Are you afraid of this prince?" Jin Yuqi asked. He had asked Qingcheng the same question before.
There was silence.
"You don't dare to say it? Speak!" Jin Yuqi's voice turned cold.
Qian Yamei and the others almost turned pale, but they were unwilling to be the first to speak.
"You! Raise your head and look at this prince." Jin Yuqi pointed at Qian Yamei.
"Your Highness, I'm willing to listen to your orders!" Qian Yamei raised her head.”
Jin Yuqi looked at her.”
"Your Highness, you flatter me. To be able to become His Highness's consort is this servant's blessing.”Qian Yamei said.
"You're good at talking." He looked at her coldly.
"As the consort of His Highness, this servant always remembers to give everything for His Highness.”
Upon hearing such vague words, Jin Yuqi lost his appetite."Are you afraid of this prince?"
"Your Highness 'reputation is outside, this servant admires and admires you. As Your Highness' consort, you should respect Your Highness and follow your lead!”
Jin Yuqi was terrified. If he was surrounded by such women, could he still have hope for his harem? Luckily, he had Murong Qingcheng. Strange, why did he always think of her?
"Your Highness, let this servant stay and serve you.”Qian Yamei said boldly.
" Alright," Jin Yuqi said." The few of you can leave now. You'll stay in the Imperial Dragon Palace tonight."”
"Yes, Your Highness! This servant will definitely serve Your Highness well." Qian Yamei was secretly delighted.
The other three consorts were jealous and resentful, and they left helplessly. Only Jin Yuqi and Qian Yamei were left in the hall.
"How should I address you?" Jin Yuqi asked.
"Your Highness, I am Qian Yamei."
"Elegant plum blossoms." Unfortunately, he was not as good as his name. Jin Yuqi thought.
Qian Yamei stopped smiling." Your Highness, it's still early. I'll pour you some wine."”She took the initiative to approach the Crown Prince.
Jin Yuqi tried to hold Qian Yamei's hand. It felt the same as holding a concubine's hand.
Qian Yamei looked shy." Do you know how to play the zither?”Jin Yuqi asked again.
"Yes, this servant will play the zither to liven things up for you.”"But I didn't bring my zither," said Qian Yamei.”
"It's fine! This prince will let Yuming go to Blessing Hall to borrow the zither.”He did this on purpose.
"It's already so late, I'm afraid I'll disturb Your Highness 'peace. Moreover, the Crown Prince doesn't know that Your Highness doesn't know how to play the zither, so everyone knows that you should choose a girl.”
"You dare to disobey this prince?"
"This servant doesn't dare."
"You're still afraid of me!" Looking at her, Jin Yuqi felt bored.""Forget it, it's fine if you don't play.”
"Yes."
The two of them poured wine and drank, each with their own thoughts.
"Your Highness, it's getting late. Why don't you let this servant wait on you to rest?”
"It's still early. Come, drink more!" Jin Yuqi held the empty cup in his hand.
Qian Yamei had no choice but to pour another glass. Her hand tightened, and the wine spilled out. She immediately knelt down in fear." This servant deserves to die. Please calm down, Your Highness."”
"What if this prince doesn't calm down?"
Qian Yamei panicked." I'm willing to be punished!" she said.”
"Are you really willing to be punished?" Jin Yu revealed a wicked smile. She lowered her head and did not see it.
"Yes, sir!"
"Very good. The Imperial Dragon Palace is full of dust. Why don't we clean it up? If you haven't cleaned it up, we'll continue tomorrow." After saying that, Jin Yuqi strode out of the hall.
"What? This?" Qian Yamei could only admit that she was unlucky. It turned out that the Crown Prince was a temperamental person. She had to be more careful next time.
For three consecutive nights, Jin Yuqi summoned Qian Yamei to the Imperial Dragon Palace, which made the other three especially jealous. Qian Yamei could only endure the pain silently, but she couldn't mention it to anyone else.
Jin Yuqi slipped into the Blazing Flame Pool to rest and returned to his bedroom the next day. Right now, he only liked plain porridge and side dishes. The crown prince consort was the plain porridge and side dishes that had yet to be eaten. As for these consorts, they were just shields. He didn't think they would dare to go around talking nonsense.
It had been a few days since the Crown Prince had appeared in the Blessing Palace Hall, and Qingcheng's heart was filled with anxiety and restlessness. Yi Qing reported that Qian Yamei had been favored these few days and was summoned to the Imperial Dragon Hall every night. This was the result she wanted, but now it had trapped her heart.
Qing Feng saw that the Empress 'expression was not right and asked,""Niangniang, are you not feeling well? Or are you homesick?"
"Homesick? Yeah, I haven't seen my family in a while. However, this was the Imperial Palace, and one could not casually see relatives.”
"Niangniang, you can ask the Crown Prince to let Master and Furen enter the Palace to visit Niangniang.”Brightmoon said.
" But the Crown Prince…" Qingcheng hesitated.
"Niangniang, this is the time for the court to end. The Crown Prince should have returned to the Imperial Dragon Hall. Why don't you go to the Crown Prince's bedroom?”Qing Feng suggested.
Qingcheng thought about it for a while and accepted her suggestion.
The Imperial Dragon Palace's general stationed at the front reported that the Leng Sha Kingdom in the north was showing signs of stirring again.
The Leng Sha Country was located at the northernmost part of the country. Although there was a large mountainous area there, the weather was cold and the resources were rare. The people lacked food and clothing, but they were born with tigers and wolves. The people there were tall and ferocious. If the two countries were to go to war, there would definitely be a fierce battle.
Jin Yuqi sat in front of the desk. There was a map made of sheepskin on the desk. He had circled one of the places. His mood was very gloomy.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess requests an audience!”Yuming came in to report.
"Yuming, listen well. In the future, when the Crown Princess requests an audience, there is no need to inform her.”Jin Yuqi said to Yuming. This crown prince consort finally couldn't help but come to find him.
"Yes, Your Highness." Yuming went down.
Qingcheng walked in leisurely and stopped not far from Jin Yuqi.""Your Highness, ChenQie's sudden arrival, did I disturb Your Highness?”
"Is your leg alright?" Jin Yuqi asked Qingcheng. After kneeling for so long, it must be very uncomfortable, right?”
"It's already done." Why was there a surge of warmth in his heart?
"Qingcheng!" Jin Yuqi called out.
Qingcheng looked at him.”
"I don't want you to be so distant from me. From now on, call me by my name. Don't say that you don't dare.”She was still the same. Jin Yuqi saw calmness and composure in her eyes. They were like two pools of clear water that sucked him in. It was hard to imagine that such a face could have such moving eyes. And this pair of eyes really gave him a sense of deja vu.
"What does ChenQie not dare to do?" "Imperial Kirin, Imperial Kirin, Imperial Kirin!" Qingcheng said.”
"Are you angry?" "I'm going to punish you!" Jin Yuqi said, deliberately unhappy.”
Qingcheng was already used to his tone, so she said,""However, calling you by your name is disrespectful. I don't want to be dragged out and beheaded.”
" I'll kill you first!" Jin Yuqi laughed." Without my order, I'll kill whoever dares to cut your head off!"”
Qingcheng suddenly realized that the crown prince had a childish side to him.""Thank you, Crown Prince Yu Qi." She bowed twice.
"Qingcheng, it was my fault that day. I didn't protect you. Those three slaps on your face were also on my face.”Jin Yuqi said seriously.
"Forget it, I don't want to talk about the past. Mother was not wrong, it was my fault.”
"You surrendered so quickly?" Jin Yuqi's eyes were clear.
"This is a wise man who understands the times." Qingcheng argued.
