Listening to Mo Qingying's words, Chu Younan just snorted coldly, and then said: "Mo Qingying, I think you are not happy outside. Considering that you and I are husband and wife, I can give you a job in the palace. But if you want to have other dreams, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Your Majesty!" Mo Qingying's heart moved, "How dare I ask for anything else? I just hope you are healthy!"
"Then let's go back to the embroidery room! Let others come over to measure your body!" Chu Younan said, then turned and left.
Mo Qingying stood there in a daze, looking at his back.
Suddenly, a light laugh came from behind, "What's the matter? You've suffered a lot recently, and you plan to go back to Prince Su's Mansion to make up for it?"
Mo Qingying turned around and saluted Su Bei, "Princess, I dare not do that. I will abide by the rules and fulfill my duties."
"You want to give me something right in front of me, and you're still saying these things?" Su Bei paused, turned back to the house, "Wen Xia, you take care of it."
Wen Xia stepped forward and looked at Mo Qingying with a smile, "I don't know if you know the rules of being a servant, I will teach you today. Our prince has a special liking for the princess, and he doesn't have any concubines around him. It's not customary to climb the master's bed in the Su Palace! I should have spanked your hand, but you are an embroiderer, so I won't spank your hand."
As she spoke, she took out a rattan bat from behind her and started hitting Mo Qingying on the lower back.
If it were any other maid, she would have to hide from such a beating even if she didn't run away, or cry for mercy. But it was strange that Mo Qingying just stood there, biting her lips tightly, and didn't say a word.
Wen Xia hit him about ten times, and when he felt it was enough, he stopped and scolded him, "Go back! If you dare to do it again, I will beat you with a stick!"
Mo Qingying walked away with her head down, limping, obviously in pain.
If it were given to other maids, there would always be a good friend who would show concern for them when they returned to their residence, and then bring them medicine or water. However, Mo Qingying has not made a single friend since she came to Prince Su's Mansion.
Firstly, her identity was spread by word of mouth, and secondly, she was cold and selfish. If the embroiderer who was responsible for taking measurements today had not suddenly had something to do, and she quietly replaced her, she would have had no chance to meet Chu Younan.
"Where have you been hanging out?!" The aunt in charge of the embroidery room said with a stern face, "You are not working and are lazy. I will punish you by making you work an extra hour today!"
Mo Qingying didn't cry when she was beaten just now, but now she was crying. One hour of punishment was not a big deal, the key point was that she couldn't sit down, and if she stood for several hours to embroider, her legs would probably be broken...

From top to bottom, Chu Youchen and Chu Younan were friendly and respectful to each other. Chu Youheng could no longer sit still.
The attempt to divert the trouble to the east failed, but Chu Youchen succeeded in saving himself. He was isolated and helpless, and could not sit and wait for death! It was a good opportunity! The battle report came from the border. After a winter of recuperation, the Gaoliu people caught Fengyuan by surprise, and Fengyuan fell.
Chu Yan was so angry that he vomited blood. The ministers were in disarray. When Chu Yan woke up, they jointly submitted a memorial, demanding that a crown prince be appointed as soon as possible.
Chu Youheng took this opportunity to meet the emperor and proposed to personally lead the troops to Fengyuan to recover the lost territory.
But Chu Yan refused.
Chu Younan was disfigured, and Chu Youchen had made a serious mistake. Right now, the person he was most optimistic about was Chu Youheng, and he couldn't let anything happen to him again.
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Chu Youheng was still sitting beside the bed holding the medicine bowl, with a humble attitude, "Father, I am willing to go to Fengyuan, please consider it again."
Chu Yan remained silent.
Just then, Wang Zhuo reported to Chu Younan and he came to visit.
Chu Yan seemed relieved.
Chu Younan was still wearing a veiled hat. He knelt down without saying a word after entering. "Father! I request your permission to go to Fengyuan. We must recover the lost territory and repel the Gaoliu people!"
Chu Yan asked without hesitation, "Are you feeling better?"
"It's all right now!"
"Then I will order you to go to Fengyuan and repel the Gaoliu people!" Chu Yan said in a deep voice.
Chu Youheng felt unhappy, but Chu Yan still didn't believe him.
He was about to say something when he heard Chu Younan say, "After I leave, my family will have to be taken care of by my second brother. The princess is already four months pregnant, so please take care of her."
Chu Youheng secretly clenched his fists. He thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He wanted to tame Ah Bei as well. But Chu Younan said this in front of Chu Yan. If anything happened to Ah Bei, Chu Yan would definitely hold him responsible...
"Youheng, I am not in good health, so the task of taking care of Younan's family falls on you!" Chu Yan said in a deep voice.
Chu Youheng smiled warmly, "Of course! The safety of Wu Country depends on my third brother!"
Chu Younan smiled back, "Please take care of me, Second Brother."
After some polite greetings, Chu Younan left the palace.
After returning to Prince Su's Mansion, he went straight to Lingfeng Pavilion, closed the door and drove everyone out, leaving only Yun Rou and Yun Xi.
When it was getting dark, Chu Younan came out, followed by only Su Bei and Yun Xi. No one thought much about it, after all, Yun Rou and Yun Xi were both masters, and it was normal for them to go up and down.
However, Chu Younan and Su Bei seemed to be a little estranged. They didn't hold hands, nor did they kiss and hug each other like usual. Su Bei returned to Fengyao Pavilion, while Chu Younan came to the lake alone.
In early summer, the evening breeze is cool.
Chu Younan sat alone by the lake. After a while, he took off his veil.
There was someone behind him, but he remained calm.
"Your Highness!" The voice was soft, it was Mo Qingying.
"Speak!" Chu Younan said coldly.
Mo Qingying chuckled and took a step forward, "The princess is pregnant, and I think the prince must be very depressed at night, so why not let me serve you..."
"No need! Back off!" Chu Younan was a little impatient.
Mo Qingying was persistent, "The princess is too petty. Don't all men have three wives and four concubines? It's not convenient for her to serve them. She should arrange a few people to serve the prince..."
Chu Younan suddenly turned his head.
In the moonlight, Mo Qingying saw a ghost face and suddenly screamed, then staggered into the water.
In fact, what she saw was not Chu Younan's face, but a mask customized by Chu Younan. He had to lead troops to fight, and it was inconvenient to wear a veil, so he imitated King Falanling and made a mask with a ghost face.
Maybe it's too scary...
Mo Qingying struggled in the water and called for help.
Chu Younan stood up and watched for a moment. It was true that she could not swim, but if he saved someone, Su Bei would probably be jealous again.
He raised his head and glanced at the tall willow tree. An idea came to his mind. He jumped up and bent the willow branch so that it hung just above the water.
Mo Qingying struggled and held on desperately.
Chu Younan jumped again and ran towards Lingfeng Pavilion.
Mo Qingying was suddenly lifted out of the water by the rebounding willow branch, but she didn't hold on tightly and fell back into the water with a splash.
Fortunately, this time it fell on the shore.
Just after being slapped, she felt her breasts were flattened...
Chu Younan! You! You are too ruthless! Could it be that he is not good at that?! Mo Qingying thought maliciously, maybe the one in Su Bei's belly is not Chu Younan's child, but the same as hers...
Wherever there is a ghost, there must be a flaw!
