The Empress and Qin Chuan were secretly plotting something, but Xiao Yue still managed to find out.
"Elder sister, what are you doing?"
"Well……"
A blush instantly rose on the Empress's beautiful face. Her phoenix eyes blinked lightly, and her slender hand was quickly withdrawn...
Qin Chuan quickly straightened his clothes, pulling the hem of his silk robe inward to cover his thin silk trousers.
Xiao Yue was an intelligent person, and when she opened her eyes and saw this scene, she knew that the two of them were definitely up to something.
The key point is, you two are husband and wife, you can do whatever you want...
Can you please stop doing this on purpose in front of me?
Thinking about this, Xiao Yue felt humiliated.
The Empress quickly changed the subject, saying, "Royal sister, you woke up after only a short nap? How about I take you for a bath?"
"Um."
Xiao Yue nodded, then sat up and stretched: "Brother-in-law, I want to drink chilled soup..."
"Iced soup? Oh, I get it! I'll give you as much as you want later!"
The Empress parked the car properly, and the three of them got out.
Xiao Yue followed the Empress to take a bath.
Qin Chuan had the servants and eunuchs carry a large freezer into the Empress's bedroom in Weiyang Palace. After installing the wiring and connecting the power, he placed two large baskets of mineral water, cola, nutritional drinks, milk, Dongpeng brand milk, AD calcium milk, various fruit juices, as well as watermelon, apples, cantaloupe, and other items into the freezer.
When the Empress and Xiao Yue finished bathing and came in, they saw the large freezer...
Xiao Yue stared blankly at the large freezer, then at Qin Chuan, her eyes filled with adoration for her brother-in-law. Without a word, she rushed over, grabbed a bottle of nutritional drink, and gulped it down...
Qin Chuan stared at her, somewhat bewildered. Now, dressed in new clothes, her appearance and demeanor were completely different.
After her bath, Xiao Yue wore a light blue, wide-sleeved, cross-collar, waist-length skirt over a white undergarment, and a beige horse-face skirt. Her hair was styled in a "fallen horse" bun, adorned with a green beaded and flower-embroidered gold hairpin. Her elegant demeanor added a touch of gentle grace.
She was originally Xiao Li's biological sister, sharing the same parents. She had a beautiful face and a figure that was no less than Xiao Li's. After dressing up like this, she was ten times more beautiful than before!
However, well, she still has a bit of a tomboyish feel to her behavior...
At this moment, she was wearing a court-style wooden clog on her left foot, and that snow-white foot was resting on the embroidered stool. The clog was placed on the white marble floor. She had one hand on her slender waist and was holding a drink in the other hand, gulping it down...
The style is so bizarre: a beautiful woman drinks a beverage with the air of someone who's "drunk for 30,000 nights"...
The Empress, who had been experiencing occasional menstrual cramps lately, couldn't help but kindly advise her younger sister, Xiao Yue, seeing her drinking so heavily, "Xiao Yue, drink slowly, don't choke... Your brother-in-law has prepared a lot, and the imperial kitchen has plenty more..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yue threw down the empty bottle, grabbed an apple, wiped it casually with her hand, and started taking a bite...
"Mmm...sweet..."
She felt it was a pity that Qin Chuan had casually thrown this away last time, but today she finally got to eat it, and she has to say, it was really sweet!
After taking a few bites, Xiao Yue wrinkled her nose and looked at Qin Chuan, saying, "Wait a minute, brother-in-law, you put this freezer in my sister's palace instead of mine. What am I supposed to do if I want to eat it later?"
Qin Chuan smiled slightly: "I'll install one in your bedroom tomorrow too."
"Haha, brother-in-law, you're so kind!"
Their eyes met, and they smiled at each other.
The Empress stared at the scene, her phoenix eyes widening slightly. She rubbed her forehead and thought for a moment... Something's not right!
The way my husband and my sister look at each other... something's definitely off!
no.
What does Xiao Yue mean by this...?
You're twenty years old, what are you waiting for if you're not getting married yet?
Thinking of this, the Empress looked at Xiao Yue with a smile: "My dear sister, there's something I want to tell you..."
As she spoke, she pulled Xiao Yue to sit on the dragon bed.
Xiao Yue had no such reservations and sat directly on the dragon bed to eat...
The Empress tossed the apple from her hand to the maidservant beside her, who wiped her hands. Then, holding her hand, she said, "My dear sister, when you were away from the palace the other day, someone submitted a memorial to me, stating that they greatly admired you and wished to marry you..."
"Who is it? How inconsiderate!"
Xiao Yue said in an annoyed tone.
The Empress smiled and continued, "It is the second son of Zhu Xizhou, the Minister of Revenue, who is the third-ranked scholar in this year's imperial examination. His name is Zhu Yanliang. I think his appearance, talent, and character are all quite good."
"Although you are a princess, you will eventually have to get married. You are already twenty years old this year. If you don't hurry this year, it will be even harder to find someone next year."
Xiao Yue stood up with some annoyance, muttering, "I don't care about looks, talent, or character. What I'm looking for is... is..."
She stopped there.
The Empress pressed further, "What kind of person are you looking for? I will announce it to the world and find it for you."
Xiao Yue glanced at Qin Chuan secretly, then immediately looked at her elder sister's face and sighed gently, "Oh well, we can't find her anyway... I'll just become a Taoist nun next year!"
Hearing her say that, the Empress quickly and gently advised, "Oh, how could you think like that, my dear sister!"
"There are plenty of good men in the world. No matter what kind you're looking for, you are the only princess of the royal family. As long as you're willing, there's no man in the world who wouldn't agree..."
Unexpectedly, these words only made Xiao Yue more agitated.
She raised her voice slightly and said, "Royal sister, I don't want to get married! Don't ask anymore!"
Seeing her like this, the Empress sighed and looked at Qin Chuan, "Husband, say something..."
Qin Chuan: "..."
I was speechless. What does this have to do with me?
To his surprise, Xiao Yue glared at him with a look full of resentment.
no.
What does this have to do with me?
Both of you sisters see me like this...
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan cleared his throat and said, "Well, that, well, ah, it's like this, all correct. The most urgent thing is to find the key issue..."
"So, what's the key issue? We need to find the crux of the problem. So, a...if..."
"Alright, stop talking!" The Empress glared at him angrily with her phoenix eyes.
I thought to myself, "You're putting things here and there, you must have something to hide..."
Xiao Yue pursed her lips, wanting to smile. She knew that her brother-in-law still cared for her to some extent and didn't want her to get married, and that was enough...
Then, the Empress asked Xiao Yue several times what kind of man she wanted to marry, but Xiao Yue simply insisted that she did not want to get married...
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, the Empress had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.
That evening, after the three of them finished their meal together, Xiao Yue returned to her own palace, while Qin Chuan would have to spend the night with the Empress again...
Her jade-like legs were resting on her shoulders, and just as she was about to stab the emperor...
The Empress suddenly said softly, "My husband, I've realized it. Xiao Yue wants to marry you..."
