You are the One and Only - C25
“Esteemed Empress, the food is ready. Would you like to rest after you’ve used it, or would you like to rest before you use it?” Ming Liu smiled as she looked at Qin Nuo.
“Just half a bowl of porridge is enough!” Qin Nuo originally had no appetite and did not want to eat anymore, but after thinking about it, she still said.
“Empress, put your legs on the bed. This servant will help you cover yourself with the blanket and make you feel better.”
“This time, the Empress shouldn’t be thinking of leaving the Prince’s Manor, right?” There was still a smile in the depths of Peaches’ eyes, but she lowered her voice. Empress, don’t worry. Although Esteemed Empress Dowager and Empress had chosen the young miss, they had only met once or twice. If you enter the palace in three days, the Empress will not be found out! ”
Qin Nuo believed Jade Peach’s words. Since the empress dowager and empress had chosen Prime Minister Qin and not Miss Qin personally, they felt once or twice that they should be dignified enough. There was no need to announce people into the palace before they even passed through the gates! If she and Qin Muxue were really similar, it was extremely possible that people who were unfamiliar with them would not be able to recognize them! She wasn’t too worried about this at the moment.
She just didn’t want to enter the palace from the bottom of her heart!
There were only three days left! Even though Ling Yexuan was furious, he was unwilling to let her go, it was truly troublesome!
It was already evening when Ling Yexuan returned to the manor. Zhuo Tao, Ying He and the little lass were leisurely sitting outside, eating seeds. When they saw him come in, they hurriedly stood to the side. Ling Yexuan did not say anything and walked in.
Ming Liu and Bi Tao were sitting on the low couch, talking about something in a soft voice. Seeing that Ling Yexuan had returned, they immediately stood up. The curtain of the peaches was drawn to allow Ling Yexuan to enter the room, while Ming Liu quickly brewed some hot tea and brought it over.
“All of you can leave now!” Ling Yexuan instructed softly.
Ming Liu and Peaches replied as they quietly went out, put the curtains back and went outside, closing the door behind them. Ming Liu was magnanimous, she only offered tea and came out, but did not discover anything. Peaches, on the other hand, was somewhat baffled. What happened to the prince’s left hand?
Seeing two people coming out, Zhuo Tao’s eyes dimmed. As expected, when the Prince came back, he only wanted to stay alone with the Empress!
Ling Yexuan slowly walked to the bedside and looked at the still soundly asleep Qin Nuo. A faint blush appeared on his white cheeks. His long and dense eyelashes gently closed, like two fans. His cherry lips were slightly swollen, and there were traces of having been bitten. His face gave off a faint and quiet feeling. Only his two delicate eyebrows were slightly knitted. It was obvious that she wasn’t happy.
Ling Yexuan’s finger lightly slid across that cheek, and immediately, an indescribable numbness spread throughout his entire body. He could not help but shudder as he took two steps back, and his two thick eyebrows immediately knitted together.
Even though among the princes, he married late, and the branch family only married Chief Consort two years later, he never lacked women. Just Xia Yi Qiu had already followed him for six or seven years, let alone the other women that were sent into the palace, as well as Shu Yi who had been waiting for him to marry into the sect …
He tried to turn around and sit down in the chair, but he couldn’t help but take two more steps forward and stretch out his hand. Unexpectedly, just as his fingers touched her soft cheeks, she suddenly opened her eyes. She rolled over and sat up, hiding herself in the bed.
“You … When did you come in? ”
Her big eyes were full of vigilance, causing Ling Yexuan’s face to instantly darken.
“This is This King’s manor. This King can come back whenever This King wants!”
Qin Nuo slightly pursed her lips, calmed down a little and suddenly saw the demon being frightened, allowing her voice to calm down.
“Is it late? Is it time for your highness to eat? ”
The woman’s hair was loose and messy, her cheeks were slightly flushed and her mouth was slightly swollen. There was a kind of damned temptation, causing Ling Yexuan’s throat to go dry, and his voice to turn hoarse.
Qin Nuo did not know how his soundly asleep and awake state would affect a man’s heart, nor did she feel that there was anything wrong with it.
“My lord, this house is a little cold. Can I move into the East Warm Pavilion?” Qin Nuo said again.
Normally, Qin Nuo would not be this straightforward, but what happened today was too unexpected, so it deeply affected her intelligence. She wanted to avoid this monster quickly so that she wouldn’t be annoyed with him for looking at it.
“No way!” Ling Yexuan answered without even thinking. The wedding has not even ended, and the newbie is already living somewhere else. This is bad luck! ”
Unlucky? Qin Nuo cursed. Then who knew who had chased the bride away on their first night of marriage? But she knew that she couldn’t reason with a demon. She could only stay silent for a moment, when she heard Ling Yexuan’s cold voice from above her head.
“will enter the Palace in half a month. She has waited so many years for this duke to give her the title of lateral consort, I hope that wangfei will treat her better! ”
The moment the words left his mouth, Ling Yexuan was startled. He had originally wanted to have dinner with Qin Nuo. When there was nothing else to do, he calmly told her about it. But who knew that the moment this woman woke up, she had an anxious look on her face as if she wanted to send him off. This was too infuriating! She couldn’t help but want to find something to provoke her.
In fact, when he entered the palace in the afternoon, he was only to see his grandmother’s reaction. In these past few days, because his grandmother and mother had not been able to send that thing over, it was not the first or second time that they had openly and secretly urged him to get better of the Miss Qin.
Three days after returning to the door, his grandmother summoned him to the palace. However at that time, he was full of thought about Shu Yi’s injuries, and wasn’t in the mood at all.
After that, Grandmother and Mother tried to persuade him a few more times. Actually, he didn’t feel that she was detested much since he had agreed. However, in his heart, he could not help but instinctively reject this wangfei who had snatched Shu Yi’s position.
“This Dowager knows that you like Wei Guo Mansion’s Miss, but since you agreed to marry her, you have to treat her well. It was because of Wangfei’s kindness that there was not a trace of complaint. However, it was not a solution as time passed! It’s not like you haven’t experienced it yourself. It’s too unreasonable for you to only treat Princess Hua-Yang like this. ”
Today, after the morning assembly, his grandmother called him over and repeated what he had said. This time, he didn’t feel that he had much of an aversion to it. It was just that they had already spent the past few days peacefully, suddenly changing to a different way and getting along with each other, which made him feel rather awkward.
The wangfei was out again, someone had already reported back to him from the back door. He had only sent guards to protect her, so he didn’t pay too much attention. In any case, he already had a general idea of what he wanted to investigate, and as an imperial concubine, his conduct was different from others. It was fine if she was happy. However, Chen Zhuo’s and Meng Liu’s words caused his brain to rumble, and he lost his rationality in an instant.
What was even more unexpected was that he wasn’t her first man!
He was too infuriated! He was so angry that he wanted to strangle her to death! But she was fearless and indifferent, and kept telling him to divorce her! He had never been despised by a woman like this before. He was filled with frustration! He swore that he would not let her off so easily!
However, he couldn’t help but want to see if he could hide from his grandmother’s shrewd eyes the blood that dripped from his palm with the dagger. The Queen Mother had always been a soft and gentle person, and his marriage was decided by his grandmother, so he was not worried!
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the palace, Grandmother did not mention anything about the wangfei. Instead, she told him that royal father had decreed that the Wei Guo Mansion of the Wei Guo Mansion should be given to him as his lateral consort.
“This Dowager and your royal father originally wanted to bestow Second Miss Wei the position of Chief Consort to other princes, so it wouldn’t be considered letting her down. However, the Duke of Wei had repeatedly written that the Miss Jing Er loved the Prince Rui deeply, and would rather be the Duke of Rui’s concubine than marry anyone else. The sincerity of the words was moving. Moreover, since I know that you are interested in the Miss Jing Er in the first place, I shall bestow it to you. ” “Grandmother said with a smile.” The date has been set, and in half a month, Wei Guo Mansion will send people over. ”
“At that time, the wedding had just begun, and it was still a bit early, so Princess Hua-Yang felt somewhat wronged. But for a prince to accept a lateral consort, it was already nothing! Furthermore, in terms of family background and appearance, Miss Jing Er was just a lateral consort, he would be wronged first. She believed that the princess was a virtuous and virtuous person who would understand the logic behind this. But I, your royal father and mother are waiting for you to help the royal family expand their branches and scatter their leaves! ”
Her grandmother’s face was filled with a loving smile, it was not strange at all, but Ling Yexuan kept feeling that this smile had some kind of meaning.
Leaving the palace, Ling Yexuan’s heart was indescribably depressed. He did not understand why he did not feel the slightest bit of surprise when he was looking forward to receiving Shu Yi into his palace day and night. Perhaps it was because he had been waiting for too long, but it suddenly became real. Instead, he became hesitant.
He had already been a bit annoyed, and along the way, he thought about how to bring up the matter with that woman. However, he didn’t expect that she would dislike him the moment he met her. His mind was in a whirl. He just wanted to grab something to hit her! However, as soon as the words left his mouth, he was stunned for a moment. Then, looking at her, there wasn’t even the slightest bit of unhappiness on his face!
Ling Yexuan’s eyes suddenly darkened, and the corner of his mouth hooked into a self-deprecating smile.
