Chapter 37: Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet
The attitude of the emperor in the palace is unclear, the queen has already offended, and she will face a battle for the throne in the future. And the ladies in this backyard, none of them are simple, but now they all think that she is not a threat, so they will not move for the time being, and Cang Mingyuan's thoughts, she doesn't want to guess, although he has always shown that he likes himself very much now, but who can guarantee that he will always be like this in the future, she doesn't want to gamble, it is better to find a way to get out of here and take her fate into her own hands.
"Miss, are you really willing to leave here? The prince is really good to you, even a clumsy person like me can see it, and you weren't moved? Qiu Yu said.
"I know that the prince is very good to me, but a lifetime is so long, who can guarantee that he will be like this in the future, and besides, I don't want to be intrigued with a group of women all day long to grab a man, that would be too tiring. It's better to live a quiet life alone. In fact, before I didn't have this holy decree, my idea was not to marry for the rest of my life, but before I could leave the Qin Mansion, I was stumped by the holy decree. Qin Yue told Qiu Yu all his inner thoughts. Sometimes I feel depressed when I have too much to do, so it's okay to find someone reliable to talk to.
"Has the young lady already decided to leave? Will the prince agree? Qiu Yu's eyes were slightly red, and I don't know if it was because of Miss's words or because of the prince's infatuation.
"I didn't plan to tell him, since I decided to leave, I naturally had to go quietly." Qin Yue said.
"But the young lady is on the royal family tree, if she leaves quietly and is known by the emperor, she will definitely send officers and soldiers to hunt her down, and it is impossible for the young lady to live a quiet life!" Qiu Yu persuaded him.
"Let's talk about this then, anyway, let's leave the palace first, leave Tiandu, if it really doesn't work, we will go to other countries to live in seclusion." Qin Yue was not completely sure in her heart, but she would never be able to let her be trapped in this palace for the rest of her life.
The two were silent for a while, and Qiu Yu still wanted to persuade the young lady to stay, but she really couldn't think of any reason in her head. And Qin Yue was thinking about whether to settle in other countries, and she was also worried that if the matter was exposed, what if the emperor ordered her to be captured and beheaded for the sake of royal face?
"Miss, if you decide to leave, then take the autumn rain with you! I grew up with Miss, and I went wherever Miss went. "Autumn Rain's moist eyes were filled with determination.
"Okay, silly girl, why are you still crying. The earth is big, you can live well anywhere, don't worry! Qin Yue comforted her. This girl usually looks very aggressive, but she is actually very sensitive.
After Qin Yue and Qiu Yu said their thoughts that day, the two never mentioned that topic again, but they were always planning their future lives in their hearts. Qin Yue found a lot of travelogues and read through them carefully, and Qiu Yu also thought about making more changes of clothes, shoes and socks while he was free now.
The New Year is getting closer and closer, and the palace is also filled with a strong New Year's flavor. All the courtyards are being cleaned, new clothes are prepared, and the yards are decorated. People come and go in the prince's study, and it is more lively and busy than usual.
"Miss, I heard that Wang Ye has ordered Mrs. Xue to accompany you to the palace for the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet." Qiu Yu was cleaning and tidying up in the study, and said to Qin Yue, who was reading.
"yes, I know." Qin Yue said.
"Is that young lady really not going? Wouldn't that be bad? Qiu Yu said worriedly.
"The queen of the palace hates me to the core, if I go, I will definitely be troubled, anyway, I plan to leave here, why bother to touch her at this time!" Qin Yue said.
"If the prince brings a concubine on such a grand occasion, he will definitely be condemned by the civil officials, so I'm afraid it's not good for the prince's reputation?" Autumn Rain Road.
"Don't worry, the prince is thick-skinned, he is not afraid of being said, don't worry about it!" Qin Yue said angrily. Why didn't I see that this girl loves to other people's hearts so much.
"The princess thinks this king is very thick-skinned? Where is it thick? Say it, this king is good to reduce! Cang Mingyuan suddenly came in from outside the house.
"Participate in the prince!" Qiu Yu was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and bent down to salute.
"Get up!" Cang Mingyuan waved his hand.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Qiu Yu got up and walked outside the house, closing the door by the way. She was no longer surprised that the prince appeared here, but she was just shocked when the prince heard the discussion behind her back.
This is going to start from the early winter, that time Qin Yue came to menstruation, her stomach hurt uncomfortably, lying on the bed and not wanting to get up, Cang Mingyuan felt distressed, so he didn't slip away as before, and kept holding Qin Yue in the quilt, using internal force to help her warm her body. When Qin Yue's body gradually warmed up, he was also tired, so he fell asleep again unconsciously.
When Qiu Yu brought breakfast, he found that there were two people sleeping on the young lady's bed, and he was frightened at that time, thinking that he had met a disciple, so he picked up the stool and was ready to smash it. Fortunately, Cang Mingyuan was vigilant by nature, stopped it with his arm in time, threw the stool to the ground, and pinched Qiu Yu's neck with his backhand. When the two found each other, Qiu Yu looked panicked, while Cang Mingyuan instantly understood. The movements of the two also woke up Qin Yue in his sleep.
The three of them spent the morning in silence, until Cang Mingyuan washed up and left a sentence: "Qiu Yu, today's matter must be kept secret, and you must not say it to anyone, otherwise it will be bad for your young lady!" Later, when Cang Mingyuan came back again, he didn't avoid it, and came in directly and generously from the gate of the courtyard.
"Xiao Wu, where do you say this king is thick-skinned? Anthracene..."Cang Mingyuan said in Qin Yue's ear, and the last word was particularly charming.
"Hehe, Lord Wang, you heard it wrong, I just said someone else, how dare the concubine talk about you behind your back, you heard it wrong, you heard it wrong!" Qin Yue awkwardly took the book between the two and said with a smile.
"Well, it may be that this king's ears have not been very good lately, and he heard it wrong!" Cang Mingyuan's eyes were a little narrow. He opened his mouth again and said: "Mrs. Xue was given to me by my father, and my father and emperor once mentioned to me privately that they would make her a side concubine just after she gave birth to the imperial grandson, so it doesn't hurt to take her to this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and some occasions between women let her fill the scene!" ”
"She's the emperor's man?" Qiu Yu was a little surprised.
"Well, it was given by her father, and her mother's family is not very powerful, but she is very sincere to her father." Cang Ming Yuan said.
"Uh-huh, got it." Qin Yue nodded in response. Putting down the book in his hand, he suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Who are Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yan?" I blurted out when I thought about it, and I regretted it a little as soon as I said it, this kind of thing can't be asked, and it shouldn't be asked.
"Mrs. Yao is the concubine of the soldier's family, and Mrs. Yan is the niece of the household servant, don't deal with them when you have nothing to do, and they are not simple." Cang Mingyuan explained. He seems to be very patient, and he doesn't want to hide it in the slightest.
"So the three ladies you left behind are all untouchable or useful to you, and those who are useless to you have all refused or dealt with them!" Qin Yue blurted out.
"Well, those useless women, I don't need to put them in the palace, and the people will not be at peace." Cang Mingyuan admitted frankly. After speaking, he picked up Qin Yue and put it on his lap, leaned her head on his arms, and whispered in her ear: "But in the heart of this king, they are just decorations, only Xiao Wu, you are the person who cares most about this king!" ”
