When Long Jingchen arrived at the entrance of Mingyue Palace that evening, he found the palace gates tightly closed and the courtyard completely dark. He instinctively thought something had happened and was about to order someone to break the gates open when he heard Yang Qi's gloating voice.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Noble Consort came to report this afternoon that she will be sleeping with Consort Sang tonight, and since they will be going to bed early, the palace gates may be locked ahead of time."
Long Jingchen: ...
He turned his head and glared at Yang Qi: "Do you need to tell me? Do you think I know more than you? I just wanted to check if the palace gates were locked properly!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Chengshun Hall with a flick of his sleeve.
As they passed by Consort Qi's courtyard, Consort Qi hurriedly ran out and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Long Jingchen was in a bad mood at the moment, so he just nodded casually: "Mm".
He used to be able to hug me, but now it's all over and I can't even see him anymore.
He turned around in frustration, about to leave, when Consort Qi grabbed his sleeve: "Your Majesty, since you're already here, please come and sit in my palace."
As she spoke, she winked meaningfully at Long Jingchen.
She was clearly dressed up carefully, wearing a peach-pink long dress, with a gold hairpin tucked diagonally into her hair, and a rare floral decoration painted between her eyebrows.
She has never liked peach pink, but Sang Jiang does. She noticed that Sang Jiang often wears peach pink and gold jewelry these past few days, so she dressed up like Sang Jiang today.
Long Jingchen frowned and flung her sleeve away: "Wearing gold and silver is utterly tacky!"
Consort Qi's face froze instantly. She had clearly heard Long Jingchen say that day that he should send more gold jewelry to Sang Jiang.
After saying that, he turned and left, but after taking only two steps, he stopped as if he had remembered something.
He walked up to Consort Qi and said with a light smile, "I suddenly feel a little thirsty again. Why don't you go in and have a glass of water?"
Without waiting for Consort Qi's reaction, he walked towards Consort Qi's room first.
Seeing Long Jingchen's actions, Consort Qi's previously stiff face immediately lit up with joy. She quickly followed Long Jingchen's steps, instructing as she walked, "Go and prepare quickly."
After saying that, she happily followed behind Long Jingchen. She thought to herself, Long Jingchen clearly likes this kind of outfit, so why doesn't he like it when it's on her?
She touched her face; it looked pretty good.
Thinking about it made the curve of her lips even wider.
When Long Jingchen entered her room, his lips immediately fell. He looked at Consort Qi, who was circling around him with annoyance.
Sang Jiang loved wearing peach pink, and he always thought it looked beautiful, but he didn't know why it looked so tacky on Consort Qi.
He frowned in annoyance: "Change your clothes, this color doesn't suit you."
After he finished speaking, he got up and walked to Consort Qi's desk. He glanced at the empty desk and felt even more irritated, so he simply got up and left.
As soon as he stepped outside, he smelled a faint, elegant fragrance. He glanced at the room and saw that the light in Consort Shen's room was still on. After hesitating for two seconds, he walked directly towards Consort Shen's room.
Consort Shen saw Long Jingchen the moment he entered. Consort Qi's grand entrance was practically a commotion. Seeing Long Jingchen walking towards her room, she quickly ran to her dressing table to check her flammable and explosive appearance.
She wasn't wearing a peach-pink dress, but rather a royal blue one, and like Consort Qi, she had a gold hairpin in her hair...
