Chapter 13 Night Visit to the Boudoir!

The second child.

Qian Yueshu's father died young.

The third child.

This is the current third branch, Qian Yueshu's third uncle.

Because he had no sons and was somewhat shrewd in business, he was the luckiest among the illegitimate sons, serving by the side of Old Madam Qian.

The fourth child was a concubine's daughter, who married off early.

The fifth child, also a son born out of wedlock, was still living in the Qian family's ancestral home.

Qian Yueshu's fifth uncle was also a shrewd businessman, but he had a son, so Old Madam Qian was reluctant to keep him by her side.

After everyone from the Qian family had arrived.

A solemn atmosphere descended as everyone held their breath and waited for the imperial edict to be read.

The eunuch, dressed in magnificent palace robes, held a bright yellow imperial edict and slowly unfurled it. His voice was loud and clear, like a bell, echoing throughout the entire Qian residence.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: 'I have heard that Qian Yueshu is of noble character, gentle and kind by nature, and has saved the life of the Crown Prince. Therefore, I hereby bestow upon her this imperial favor and bestow upon her the title of Princess of Jingyang County, with a fief of five hundred households. May she diligently accept this honor and continue to uphold her virtuous example.'"

This imperial edict was like a thunderclap, exploding over the Qian residence.

The crowd was stunned for a moment, then burst into a gasp of amazement and cheers.

but.

After their initial excitement, they all turned to look at Qian Yueshu.

Did he save the crown prince?

How could they not know?

After the imperial eunuch finished reading the decree, he stepped forward with a beaming smile: "Congratulations, Madam Qian! Congratulations, Second Miss Qian! Your household has produced a county princess; this is an immense honor!"

Madam Qian then came to her senses and hurriedly instructed the steward to present the prepared silver and money, and personally escorted the eunuch to the gate.

Back in the hall, she looked at Qian Yueshu with a puzzled expression.

"Yue Shu, what exactly happened? When did you save the Crown Prince? Why have I never heard you mention it before?"

"Well……"

How is she supposed to answer that?

After all, she didn't even know when she had saved the crown prince.

Qian Yueshu took a deep breath and made up a lie: "When I was out doing business, I saw someone being chased and killed, so I asked the guards to save him. I never expected that he was the Crown Prince."

When the old lady and the eldest brother wanted to ask more details...

Qian Yue declined, saying she wasn't feeling well, and went back to her own courtyard.

She was afraid that saying too much would lead to making mistakes.

Listening to the Rain Pavilion.

Qian Yueshu's courtyard in the Qian family was called Tingyu Pavilion.

This is the name she chose herself.

She was probably different from other refined and elegant ladies.

Other young ladies from respectable families behaved very properly; when it rained, they would stay in their own courtyards.

She likes rain.

She especially felt that the light drizzle was very comfortable.

The sweet, fresh scent after the rain fascinated her even more!

Back in her dormitory, Qian Yueshu happily rolled around on her bed.

She is now a county princess.

She is a county princess.

She's a county princess now, hahaha!

In her previous life, she suffered countless slanders because of her identity as the daughter of a merchant.

In addition, she hadn't paid much attention to her reputation in her previous life, making her a disgrace to the entire capital.

Fortunately, the prince of her family dotes on her.

No matter how much those noble ladies looked down on her, they couldn't get rid of her.

But this life is different.

She had only been in the capital for a short time and hadn't even met those noble ladies yet, but she had already become a county princess!

County princesses belonged to the "noblewomen" system, and their status was lower than that of princesses and county princesses, but higher than that of ordinary officials' family members (such as wives and daughters of officials), and they enjoyed corresponding etiquette treatment (such as clothing and travel specifications).

Even the daughter of the Prime Minister's family had to bow down before her.

After all, the Prime Minister's daughter has no official rank.

Although the county magistrate had no real power, she was equivalent to a second or third-rank official and held a prestigious position.

In addition, there were fiefs and stipends.

The title of county princess was not only a personal honor, but also enhanced the status of the Qian family.

Qian Yueshu was happy in her room for an hour, then suddenly remembered that he might come tonight!

So she quickly summoned her maid and had her do her hair and makeup.

In my previous life.

When she and Crown Prince Xiao Qingxuan had a falling out, she would occasionally come to stay at their home for a short while.

At that time, he would sneak into her boudoir at night just to coax her!

Looking back now, Xiao Qingxuan's love for her was truly remarkable.

However, even after midnight, Xiao Qingxuan still hadn't appeared.

Qian Yueshu was a little unhappy.

It seems she overestimated her importance in that scoundrel's heart.

She thought that after three years apart, he would need to sleep for at least ten days to half a month before he would restrain himself.

Now is the time when I long for it day and night.

Unexpectedly, he didn't come.

What a waste; she was dressed up in a thin veil, which was quite unusual.

Just as she was getting ready to fall asleep.

Suddenly the door was opened.

right.

It's Xiao Qingxuan!

Qian Yueshu jumped off the bed happily, barefoot, and rushed into the man's arms. Her soft, slightly aggrieved voice came out: "Husband, I missed you so much!"

"There are many matters in the palace, and I couldn't get away." Xiao Qingxuan's tone was weary. "Today, there was an urgent message from the border, and I discussed matters with my father and several ministers until late at night. As soon as I had a free moment, I rushed here."

He glanced at her bare little feet, then picked her up and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet, it's so late?"

She drew circles on his chest: "I can't sleep without you here."

The man's heart softened immediately.

"Has the imperial edict from the palace arrived yet?"

"We're here!" Qian Yueshu kissed him repeatedly on the cheek. "Thank you!"

After saying thank you, tears welled up in her eyes.

Xiao Qingxuan gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled, "Silly girl, you're already moved? There will be even better things to come."

He lowered his head and kissed her lips.

The kiss started off tender and lingering, but gradually became more passionate.

Qian Yueshu responded to his kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing her body against his.

The sheer nightgown had somehow slipped off her shoulders, revealing large expanses of snow-white skin.

Xiao Qingxuan's kisses traveled downwards, lingering on her slender neck and delicate collarbone.

"Your Highness..." Her body trembled slightly.

Xiao Qingxuan suddenly stopped, his tone restrained: "Your body doesn't hurt anymore?"

"It hurts!" She breathed warm air into his ear. "But more than that pain, I want to be with you..."

The man instantly calmed down and pulled her into his arms: "Then let's sleep. I'm also very tired. I haven't been able to get a good night's sleep in a long time."

Qian Yueshu lay obediently in the Crown Prince's arms.

I don't know why?

She felt that since his rebirth, Xiao Qingxuan was no longer so infatuated with her body.

But I feel like I love her even more now!

Could this be his way of getting revenge on me?

First, you elevate yourself high, then you let her fall from a great height?

It seems that apart from her body, she has nothing that can control Xiao Qingxuan.

He appeared to be asleep, his arm still possessively wrapped around her waist, his chin gently resting on the top of her head, a gesture that was intimate and full of protectiveness.

All of this.

They all look so beautiful it's unbelievable.

If it were any ordinary woman in the world, she would probably have already been intoxicated by the man's tenderness.
