Chapter 247 This name is simple
Unexpectedly, the palace servants were driven back by his gaze just as they took half a step forward.
"No need, auntie. Yue'er is my future crown princess. It's fine for her to live with me in the East Palace."
Hearing this, her face changed and she was about to say something.
Imperial Tutor Yuan Youshi spoke first and advised, "Your Highness, you and Princess Yiyang have not yet offered sacrifices to the heavens, the earth and the ancestors and performed the great ceremony. Living together may damage Princess Yiyang's reputation."
Concubine Yue's expression eased a little, and she agreed: "Yes, Li'er, auntie knows that you have deep feelings for Princess Yi Yang, but you also have to consider your own...reputation..."
Murong Heli's face darkened, "Yuer is my future crown princess. Anyone who dares to gossip about her behind my back will be arrested and beaten to death."
"Aunt, I can give in to other things, but not this one. Yue'er is my life, and her safety cannot be entrusted to others!"
"Li'er, you don't even trust your aunt? Is it possible that your aunt will harm you?"
Concubine Yue couldn't believe it, and a trace of heartache appeared on her face.
Then his sharp gaze directed towards Qi Yue.
It’s all this woman’s fault!
If it weren't for her, how could Li'er be so disobedient to me!
Qi Yue was originally watching the fun calmly, laughing secretly in his heart.
Noticing her gaze, he just raised his eyes to look back, but Murong Heli stepped in front of him.
"Aunt, you know that's not what I meant. You have to take care of Qi'er on weekdays, and there will always be times when you can't take care of her. Moreover, Yue'er has a special status, and I'm afraid that she will be a burden to you."
Seeing his firm attitude, Concubine Yue's expression became even worse.
Yuan Youshi sighed inwardly and lowered his voice to persuade her: "My Lady Concubine, if this is the case, just follow the Crown Prince's wishes. Don't create a rift with His Royal Highness because of such a trivial matter."
Qi Yue raised her eyebrow and pressed his arm, "Prince, the Imperial Concubine is also thinking about you, don't make the Imperial Concubine angry because of this."
Murong Heli held her hand tightly in his palm and said, "Aunt, if everything is ok, I will take Yue'er back to the East Palace first."
"Li'er..."
Yuan Youshi held down Concubine Yue and shook his head.
After returning to the East Palace, Murong Heli helped her into the bedroom, and Yue Xing and his men retreated.
"Yuer, from now on, you will live directly in my bedroom..."
Qi Yue pulled back his hand and chuckled, "Why? Is this Eastern Palace so poor? Is there only one bedroom to live in?"
"Of course not, it's just that my bedroom is the largest and most comfortable, and I don't want to let Yue'er down."
She gently lifted up the chin, "This little dog is so thoughtful, I am really touched."
When his hand was about to hold that soft hand again, she pulled away again and moved lightly to sit at the table.
"In this case, why not just give up the bedroom and you can clean up a room to live in."
Qi Yue tilted her head and touched her belly, "You also know that I am now a double-breasted person, so it would be more stable for me to sleep alone. Besides, you and I are an engaged couple, and it is not in accordance with etiquette for us to sleep in the same bedroom."
Murong Heli refused without hesitation: "No, I am worried about you sleeping alone at night. Now your body is getting heavier, you can't leave my side."
"Then you can arrange a personal maid for me."
"This..." He frowned, trying to find an excuse to refuse. After a while, he said stiffly, "No matter how careful this newly arranged maid is, she will definitely not be as careful and considerate as me. Okay, Yue'er, don't refuse anymore."
"At worst, I will sleep on the small couch outside the bedroom until you give birth. You can let me accompany you, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night."
Qi Yue secretly complained about his clinginess in her heart, but her expression remained unchanged.
"Whatever you want."
Murong Heli raised the corners of his lips contentedly, "I will go take a bath and wash up first. There will be a dinner party later. Yue'er, do you want to go with me? If you don't want to go, you can stay in the bedroom and rest."
She pressed her forehead and yawned lightly, "No, I'm sleepy."
"Okay, I will immediately arrange for the maids to take care of you and let you rest."
After he left, Qi Yue washed up with the help of the maids, changed into soft and comfortable underwear, and went to bed.
"Everyone, please go down. I don't like people standing in the room while I rest."
The maids looked at each other, hesitating and not daring to retreat.
"Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked us servants to stay by your side..."
Qi Yue frowned, grabbed the pillow and threw it on the ground, angrily saying: "I said I don't like outsiders around when I sleep! Get out!"
Several maids immediately knelt down. The leading maid thought for a while and said, "Princess, please calm down. We are also worried that we won't be able to serve you in time when you need someone."
"How about this? Let us help you lower the curtains in the inner room, and leave me alone to guard the outer room. This way, if the princess needs anything, I can serve her promptly."
Qi Yue stared at her coldly for a long while, which made her scalp numb.
"May I have your name?"
The leading maid was so nervous that sweat broke out on her forehead. When she heard her question, she immediately said respectfully, "My name is Ruoyin."
"Ruoyin... this name doesn't sound good. I don't like it. Change it. From now on, you can be called Tu Niu."
With a strong sense of evil interest flashing in her eyes, she said nonsense: "This name is simple and matches your skin color."
Ruoyin's face froze instantly. The name Tuniu was her real name, and it was only after she entered the palace that the teaching nanny changed it and gave it to her.
"Thank you... Princess for the name..."
She looked at Qi Yue with an inquiring gaze.
Is it a coincidence, or is he deliberately hitting her?
Qi Yue was concerned about her look and waved his hand, "Get out of here quickly."
"Yes, Princess."
The heavy curtains were lowered, and all the maids except Ruoyin retreated to the entrance of the hall.
Qi Yue stared at the curtain for a while, and after making sure that there was no problem, he lay down, closed his eyes and began to take a nap.
After such a long journey, she was indeed a little sleepy.
The palace returned to peace.
Having heard no sound for a long time, Ruoyin secretly lifted the curtain a little and looked out.
After making sure that the woman on the bed was asleep, she tiptoed towards the palace door.
As soon as she left the bedroom, the maid guarding the door carefully closed the door for her.
"Watch carefully, I'll be back soon."
"Yes, Aunt Ruoyin."
The moment she left the bedroom, the woman who had been taking a nap with her eyes closed suddenly opened her eyes.
Then there were three faint knocks at the window.
Qi Yue got up from the bed, walked lightly to the window and opened it.
As soon as she took half a step back, Lin Xu outside the window immediately turned over and entered the bedroom.
Before he could even stand firmly, he impatiently hugged her and kissed her.
Ye Qi, who was just about to go in outside the window, was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately reacted and covered her eyes.
Qi Yue caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye and quickly pushed her away.
