Chapter 246 Crown Princess
Qi Yue's expression remained unchanged. He leaned lazily on the cushion and picked up a sour date and threw it at his face.
"I have been staying in this carriage. You, a prince, don't even know the whereabouts of your subordinates. How do I know?"
Murong Heli caught the sour date that hit his face and put it into his mouth. The next second, he grimaced because of the sourness.
But he didn't spit it out. Instead, he chewed it slowly, enduring the sour taste, before speaking: "I thought Yue'er is smart and might be able to help me think of a solution."
Qi Yue spat out the date pit, glanced at him and said, "Haven't you heard that pregnancy makes women stupid for three years? My brain is all in my stomach now."
He laughed and said lovingly, "Yuer still loves teasing people like this."
In response, she rolled her eyes.
After more than half a month of hard work, the army finally arrived outside the imperial city of Li.
After the army stopped and garrisoned outside the city, Murong Heli's ceremonial procession slowly entered the city gate.
After Concubine Yue received the news, she brought the Ninth Prince and a group of royal relatives and ministers to wait at the palace gate.
Prince Rong brought not only his two legitimate sons today, but also his daughter.
The little princess was standing behind her father and brother and couldn't see the specific situation clearly, so she tugged at Prince Rong's sleeve.
"Father, has the Crown Prince arrived yet?"
Prince Rong patted her hands and lowered his voice, "Don't worry, your father has already reached a cooperation with Concubine Yue, and will definitely facilitate your marriage with the Crown Prince. Don't worry, the position of Crown Princess can only be yours."
If Qi Yue heard these words, he would definitely be shocked.
This is too crazy, my cousin wants to marry my cousin?
The original book is not like this either...
The little princess first smiled shyly, but the next second she remembered the news sent back by the secret guard, and her face darkened even more.
"Father, I heard that the Crown Prince brought Princess Yi Yang back home by force, regardless of the fact that she had already married someone else and was pregnant with a bastard. Not only did he take great care of her along the way, he even threatened to marry that slut!"
Prince Rong couldn't help but frown when he thought about this.
After thinking for a moment, he comforted her, "The Crown Prince must have been temporarily bewitched by Princess Yi Yang. When he gets tired of playing with that bitch, he will definitely abandon her like a worn-out shoe. She is nothing more than a plaything and will definitely not be better than you."
"Then father will catch that bitch and let you vent your anger."
The little princess' eyes flashed, and she smiled sweetly and calmly, "Father is still the best!"
The two sons of Prince Rong next to them also looked at each other and exchanged glances.
The ceremonial procession gradually slowed down, and Murong Heli's carriage stopped at the palace gate.
Yue Xing swiftly brought the car bench, put it in place, and stood aside waiting.
The accompanying officials shouted: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, please return to the palace—"
"Your Highness, I respectfully welcome you back to the palace. May you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."
Murong Heli lifted the curtain and walked out, his sharp eyes fell on the accompanying officer
Seeing this, Yue Xing lowered her voice and reminded, "There is also the Crown Princess! If you don't want to lose your head, shout quickly!"
The accompanying officer trembled at first when he received that sharp look, but after reacting, he immediately shouted again: "The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are returning to the palace——"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent, and one could hear a pin drop.
The little princess opened her eyes wide in disbelief and tried to squeeze to the front to see clearly.
She wanted to see which bitch dared to snatch the position of Crown Princess from her!
Prince Rong, Concubine Yue and all the ministers were puzzled and frowned.
Seeing that no one reacted, Murong Heli glanced over.
"Why, are you mute?"
Yue Xing immediately walked up to a third-rank minister standing at the end, drew out his sword and put it against his neck.
The minister's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
He said tremblingly: "Respectfully...respectfully welcome the Crown Princess back...back to the palace..."
Seeing this, many cowardly ministers gave in and started to cheer as well.
Gradually, except for Prince Rong's family and Concubine Yue, almost all the ministers and palace people had shouted.
Qi Yue curled her lips and waited until the shouting outside died down before she slowly walked out.
Murong Heli held her hand and carefully led her out of the carriage.
When she saw Qi Yue's face clearly, jealousy flashed in the little princess' eyes and she clenched her palms tightly.
His eyes fell on her obviously bulging belly, and he instantly understood her identity.
Princess Yi Yang!
The Crown Prince actually cared so much about this bitch that as soon as he came back he promoted her and acknowledged her identity in public!
Why?
A bitch, a slut who has been fucked by thousands of men and is pregnant with a bastard!
Why does she have the right to be the Crown Princess of Li?
The position of Crown Princess can only belong to her, Murong Xiya!
The moment they saw Qi Yue clearly, Concubine Yue's face turned even darker than Prince Rong's.
Instead, the ninth prince Murong Qi broke free from his mother's hand and ran towards the two of them.
"Brother Crown Prince, you are finally back. Qi'er missed you so much!"
Murong Heli quickly squatted down and held the small firecracker in his arms to prevent him from bumping into Qi Yue by mistake.
"Brother misses you too. Qi'er, have you listened to your mother and the Grand Tutor and studied hard to complete your daily homework?"
A cunning look flashed across Murong Qi's little face, and her big eyes rolled around and her gaze fell on Qi Yue.
Changing the subject, he asked, "Brother Crown Prince, is this beautiful sister the beautiful sister-in-law you found for Qi'er?"
How could Murong Heli not see that he was clever? He scratched his nose and let him go for the time being.
"Yes, this is the sister-in-law that my brother found for you. Do you like her, Qi'er?"
Murong Qi shouted in support, "Sister-in-law is so pretty, Qi'er likes pretty sisters-in-law!"
Murong Heli stood up holding him and faced Qi Yue. She smiled gently and walked forward, raising her hand to touch Murong Qi's tender little face.
Just when I was about to take some small items from my pocket to give to the child, I paused, remembering that I had nothing now.
Murong Heli held Murong Qi with one hand and held her paused hand with the other.
While saying: "Brother and your sister-in-law brought a lot of delicious and fun gifts, and they will be sent to your palace when they return."
Murong Qi was pleasantly surprised: "Brother Crown Prince, does Mother have any gifts?"
"Of course."
"What about Master Taifu? Does Master Taifu have any gifts?"
"Yes."
"Does Aunt Meixiang have any gifts?"
"some."
…
Concubine Yue wanted to say something, but due to the wrong occasion, she could only suppress her dissatisfaction in her heart.
"It's good to be back. It's good to be back."
After entering the palace, the ministers also went to Anqi Hall one after another to wait for the banquet to begin.
Concubine Yue spoke again, "Meixiang, take the Ninth Prince away. Li'er, you go back to the East Palace with the palace maid to bathe and wash up first."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Qi Yue. He was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to address her.
"Aunt, just call her Yue'er."
Qi Yue smiled faintly: "Noble Concubine Yue is good."
Concubine Yue suppressed her emotions and forced a stiff smile. "Princess Yi Yang should stay in Yun Xi Palace for the time being."
