Yan Yuning inexplicably transmigrated into a book, becoming the cannon-fodder second daughter of the Prime Minister’s household. Raised in her maternal grandparents’ home since childhood, she was a...
“Xuan Yanyu!!” Yan Yuning gritted her teeth in anger. It was still dark, and this wasn’t the Crown Prince’s residence. She didn’t want to have dinner in a daze again!!
"My Lord." The man saw her blushing face and responded in a good mood.
Unable to defeat him, Yan Yuning decisively gave up the confrontation mode, just like a fallen leaf that has no choice but to obey the autumn wind, chase the autumn wind, and then helplessly can only obey the control of the autumn wind.
The maid outside the bedroom heard the trembling voice of her own Crown Princess with a humming sound, and stared straight ahead without changing her expression.
——
At the beginning of the evening, in the Taiyi Palace, Prince Xuan, Empress Xuan, Imperial Concubine Tong, Imperial Concubine Lang, and Imperial Concubine Pei were all waiting for Xuan Yanyu to come for dinner.
It’s not that they are unwilling to wait, but if Xuan Yanyu doesn’t come, King Xuan won’t pick up his chopsticks. If King Xuan doesn’t pick up his chopsticks, they naturally don’t dare to pick up their chopsticks either.
Queen Xuan gave a look to the maid behind her, who nodded and quietly left the hall.
Sitting on the main seat, King Xuan frowned and reflected on himself. Could it be that he treated Yu'er badly today, and Yu'er was angry and didn't want to see him, so he didn't come to Taiyi Palace for dinner? ?
"Your Majesty, why don't we have our meal first? Yu'er might just be recovering from a cold and is too lazy to come out for a walk." Queen Xuan smiled and excused Xuan Yanyu.
"Even if the cold has healed, you should have sent someone to inform Your Majesty." Concubine Pei adjusted the hairpin in her hair and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't blame me for being nosy. You really spoil the prince too much."
She felt that Wu's agreement to have this baby was just right, as it would help to curb the prince's arrogance and make him listen to His Majesty's words when he was intimidated.
Otherwise, His Majesty knows that he is not the only prince. If he displeases His Majesty, he might even lose his position as crown prince.
Empress Xuan glanced at Concubine Pei, "Yu'er told the palace that he was not feeling well and might not come to Taiyi Palace for dinner tonight. Why didn't you let me know?"
Concubine Pei covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled softly, "Just now, Queen Xuan said that the prince was too lazy to come out for a walk, and now you say that the prince told you that he would not come to dine. This..."
Empress Xuan took a sip of tea and said, "Didn't the concubine say that? Yu'er told the concubine that he might not come to Taiyi Palace for dinner. The reason must be that he has a cold and is too lazy to move around."
Concubine Pei’s smile froze.
"Yes, what Queen Xuan said is right. Being sick doesn't mean you don't want to move around." Concubine Tong continued with a smile.
Concubine Lang also agreed, "That's right, I really am too lazy to move around when I'm sick."
Concubine Pei clenched her fists, and everyone knew how to flatter Queen Xuan.
"If I don't spoil Yu'er, should I spoil you?" The tired Prince Xuan said to Concubine Pei impatiently, "Whether Yu'er knows me or not, it's not your place to say."
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong." Concubine Pei said aggrievedly.
King Xuan pinched his eyebrows in annoyance.
Concubine Lang curled the corners of her mouth. It's so late, don't you know?
You dare to say in front of His Majesty that the Crown Prince is ignorant. Aren't you just asking for His Majesty's displeasure?
"Your Majesty, Empress Xuan, and the ladies of the palaces." Ye An stepped over the threshold, knelt on one knee, and repeated Xuan Yanyu's instructions, "Your Majesty, His Highness is not feeling well, so the Crown Princess will accompany His Highness to the bedroom for meals, and will not come to the Taiyi Palace for meals."
"Have you seen the imperial physician?" King Xuan asked worriedly.
Ye An opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, I have checked it, there is nothing serious."
"I'll take a look." There was no need for dinner, so King Xuan stood up and was about to leave.
If he didn't take a look, he would be worried.
