The Thirteenth Prince, Please Kneel Down

Everyone says the Thirteenth Prince is dashing, handsome, skilled in both literature and martial arts, and the dream lover of countless young ladies. But when it comes to Zhaojia Heyue, she dismiss...

Chapter 29 Doubt

Irgen Gioro chuckled: "You little girl, you've got plenty of sweet talk. How could I not know what Bei is thinking? She's nothing but a grain of rice, not worth my son's trouble."

"That's true, but it's infuriating to let her go like this." Heyue grumbled, looking unwilling.

“Then so be it. That Bei woman dared to have bad intentions, she certainly deserves to be punished. Your mother will deal with her herself.” Irgen Gioro’s gentle tone suddenly turned stern: “But she must not cause any more trouble in the future.”

"Yes, Xiao Qi understands." He Yue blinked and replied with a sweet smile, showing no fear of her mother's warning.

Irgen Gioro nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand, "That's enough for now, you can go back and rest."

"Then Xiao Qi will take her leave." He Yue left the main room, breathed a sigh of relief, and grinned. It was good that her mother didn't blame her.

Aunt Bei was no longer there; she must have been taken back by someone. Heyue returned to her room in a good mood.

Yan Yue was already waiting in her room. When He Yue saw her, she happily went to greet her: "Sixth Sister, what brings you here?"

Yan Yue had been waiting impatiently for a long time. When she saw her, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed her hand: "You still dare to talk? Come here, I have something to ask you."

Seeing her anxious expression and bewildered Yue, Yan Yue couldn't wait to ask as soon as she sat down: "I've only just come to my senses. How did you know about what happened with Aunt Sun and Aunt Bei? What you said just now made it seem like you had already foreseen that something would happen. Are you hiding something from me? Don't lie!" After saying that, she stared intently at her, as if she wouldn't give up until she told the truth.

Heyue chuckled, knowing she couldn't hide it from Sixth Sister any longer, so she simply told the truth.

Upon hearing this, Yan Yue blinked repeatedly, then suddenly jumped up, hands on her hips, her eyes filled with rage: "That Aunt Bei is simply too hateful! How dare she scheme against Mother! I'll go and skin her alive!"

Heyue quickly grabbed her sleeve and winked secretly, "Have you forgotten your mother's methods? Aunt Bei won't get away with this."

Yan Yue thought for a moment, then calmed down and her expression softened: "That's true." She sat down again, took a sip of tea, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, glared angrily: "You little brat, you dare to do things behind my back, and you don't even drag me along when you have something fun to do. That's so unfair. But your trick is really good. It's just that Aunt Sun is pitiful."

"That was Aunt Sun's own choice. I didn't expect her to be so ruthless, even to the point of harming herself. I just thought they would have a huge fight." Heyue quickly tried to clear her name, while also taking a jab at Aunt Sun: "Besides, I could handle this on my own. Didn't I take Sixth Sister to see the play afterwards?"

Yan Yue then smiled faintly and raised her chin, saying, "Fine, I'll let you off this time."

"Anyway, Sixth Sister doesn't need to worry anymore. Aunt Sun will definitely be on guard against Aunt Bei from now on, and Aunt Bei won't have time to cause any more trouble." He Yue smiled broadly, feeling smug. More importantly, there might be a lot of good shows to watch in the future. Aunt Bei is not one to swallow her anger. How could she let Aunt Sun's scheme against her go unpunished?

That evening, after Marhan returned home, he brought a parrot to Heyue's place. When Heyue saw the parrot call out "Little Seven, Little Seven" as soon as it saw her, she burst out laughing.

This father is quite adept at making his daughter happy. I suppose he's just recovered from his illness and has just returned from the Fourth Prince's residence. He probably thought I was in a bad mood, so he sent me a parrot.

Heyue hung it under the eaves and played with it every day, which made it less boring.

On this day, Heyue suddenly decided to teach it to recite a poem, which was the famous "Nineteen Ancient Poems". It turned out that this was the first poem her sister taught her, and also her sister's favorite poem.

The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are separated by the Milky Way.

With slender, delicate hands, she deftly weaves at the loom.

He could not compose a single piece of writing all day, and his tears fell like rain.

The Milky Way is clear and shallow; how far apart are we?

Separated by a mere stream, we gaze at each other silently, unable to speak.

This poem tells the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. When she was young and naive, she did not understand her sister's feelings. It was not until she grew up and her sister had an accident that she remembered this poem and finally understood her sister's expectations for love.

At that time, my sister had beautiful fantasies about love, but a betrayal ultimately broke her heart and cost her her life.

Heyue clenched her hands tightly, her heart filled with an overwhelming sadness once again, but she smiled again in the blink of an eye. After all, there was still hope, wasn't there?

These past few days, Yan Yue has often come to tease the parrot and listen to it recite poetry. Yan Yue teases her, "You really are the same as ever. You even teach a parrot to recite poetry. From childhood to adulthood, you have always been the best student among us sisters. You have always been the little genius of our family. I thought you had changed your personality after waking up this time, but I didn't expect you to show your true colors so quickly."

He Yue chuckled, then felt awkward. This was one of the few poems she could remember; how could it compare to the original Zhao Jia He Yue's?

Hailan and Yuying stood not far away, tidying up the flower branches in the flowerpots while whispering to each other.

"Haven't you noticed? Ever since Gege woke up from her heatstroke, her personality has changed a lot. She no longer reads the poems she used to love, nor does she like doing needlework. Now she's happily playing with the parrot. I remember Gege once said that people who play with parrots are just wasting their lives on frivolous things." Hailan was the most daring and talkative. Seeing that Heyue and her sister were having a good time, she started chatting with Yuying as well.

"Don't talk nonsense. Gege is just much more lively than before. Isn't that a good thing?" Yu Ying frowned and scolded, clearly displeased, but she lowered her eyes and pursed her lips tightly.

“Where did I lie? Have you forgotten? The other day, the princess beat up the thirteenth prince. The princess used to be such a weak person. How could she possibly beat the thirteenth prince who had practiced martial arts since childhood? In the end, it was the thirteenth prince who got injured. Isn’t that amazing?” Hailan gestured, her bright eyes sparkling with excitement. “However, this princess is really more beautiful than the thirteenth prince.”

Yu Ying was amused by her words, and the worry between her brows disappeared: "Princess is a woman, and Thirteenth Prince is a man, how can they be compared? Don't talk nonsense."

Hailan muttered defiantly, "That's how it is. Don't you think the princess is even more capable than those men?"

Before Yu Ying could speak, her face suddenly turned pale, and she bowed to Hai Lan's back, saying, "Madam."

Hailan stopped talking, covered her mouth in surprise, and quickly turned around to bow.

Yiergenjueluo raised her hand to stop their fuss, glanced at the two sisters who were talking happily, and then looked at Yuying. She said softly, "After Xiaoqi rests at noon, come to my room."

Yu Ying paused for a moment, then responded softly, watching Irgen Gioro leave.

Hailan covered her mouth, terrified: "Won't Madam blame me? Oh dear, I shouldn't have talked about my master. This is terrible."

"Now that you know, just remember to be careful with your words in the future," Yu Ying said with amusement.

Hailan playfully stuck out her tongue, said "Oh," and buried her head in pruning the flower branches.
