The prince's eyebrows were gentle, his eyelids drooped, and he gently touched Aria's lips: "I risked my life to get Aria, how can others compare to me?"
Alia hugged the prince tightly and offered her tender lips to him, being obedient and submissive, yet extremely clingy. However, her trembling eyelashes revealed her uneasiness.
Now she no longer believes this sentence.
There were more and more women in the palace, and she was indeed more favored, but that was only the limit of "more favored".
Not fighting?
Then you will die in a deserted yard covered with dead grass.
Compared with other women in the backyard, she no longer has the ability to bear children, and the only thing she can rely on is the affection of her youth.
The next morning, a streak of orange clouds flashed across the sky, revealing a red moon.
The chief was eating a bun while driving: "Are you sure that the Fourth Prince of Jin is awake at this time?"
"Of course! The older people get, the less they sleep!" Helian Yu didn't think there was a problem at all. "I'm awake at this hour, so it's impossible that Fourth Brother isn't awake! Besides, Master has gone to the Little Bamboo Forest to drink and play the piano at this hour, so he might sleep even less!"
Chang Zuo finished eating the bun and said expressionlessly: "But I'm sleepy."
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Helian Yu asked puzzledly.
Chang Zuo's face, as calm as a brick, showed a hint of pride: "I studied until midnight last night."
Helian Yu clapped his hands and shook his head: "Staying up late can easily lead to kidney deficiency!"
Chang Zuo: “…”
Haha! Haha!
"By the way, have you read the first edition of the daily newspaper that Lange and the others sent you?" Chang Zuo remembered the important business.
"I saw it and it lacked the fun and eye-catching highlights. I asked them to find out which man stole a woman, which woman took the wrong baby, etc., and put it in the corner of various major events and rearrange it."
Helian Yu sighed: "Chang Zuo, you said they are all playboys, why are they still so conservative?"
The long left eyelid twitched: "They are dandies, not scum."
"You called me a scum?"
"No."
"Xiao Changzuo!!!"
"Yes, I am. It is not a good time to get angry in the early morning. Be careful that the young master will ask you to drink medicine."
“…”
When we arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion, although there were guards outside the gate, the gate was closed.
Seeing the carriage of the Imperial Master's Mansion, the guard was very attentive and moved quickly. He first welcomed Helian Yu in and then arranged for someone to go to the main courtyard to report.
In the main courtyard bedroom, Zhuo Liu knocked on the door urgently, interrupting Helian Chi who was doing something ridiculous early in the morning.
"Master! Princess Zhaoyang is here! She's walked to the ceremonial gate!!!"
After a moment, a forbearing voice was heard from the room.
"Hold her first!"
Zhuo Liu hurried to the main hall to buy time for his master to get dressed.
In the room, behind the curtains.
Helian Chi hurriedly got dressed and didn't even have time to call for someone to serve him.
The woman's eyes flickered as she stood up and hugged Helian Chi: "It's still early, would you like to rest for a while? However, Princess Zhaoyang is young and has a lively personality, why don't you let Zhuo Liu take her to the back garden for a stroll first?"
Helian Chi tore off the woman who was on him, hooked his lips and pinched her chin, warning in his eyes: "That's my own sister."
The woman's chin was pinched and hurt, but she didn't dare to show any displeasure or pain on her face. She followed the rules to maintain her best appearance, but also had the courage to advise and act virtuous: "I naturally know that Princess Zhaoyang is your biological sister, but she is the prince's biological sister. You must not let her mess your mind."
Helian Chi smiled, with strong displeasure in his eyes, his face gentle and elegant, and his thumb gently stroked the woman's lips as she lost herself in his tenderness.
"Looks good."
The woman was delighted.
"My body is also soft."
The woman is happy and shy.
"It's a pity that he has a tongue."
Helian Chi's sudden viciousness, mixed with the lingering tenderness, made the woman turn pale.
After two cups of tea, Helian Chi hurried to the main hall.
Helian Chi paused and looked at Zhuo Liu who was coming over: "Who is that woman?"
Zhuo Liu glanced at Helian Chi in confusion and lowered his voice: "It was Concubine Lin you favored last night."
Helian Chi was silent and thought about it carefully.
He was in a bad mood yesterday and behaved too wildly. He had no idea who the women he had behaved with were, but they were all women in his backyard.
"What is she doing here?"
Helian Chi glanced over and asked Zhuo Liu.
Zhuo Liu was not a woman after all, and even if she thought about it in a roundabout way, she could not figure out what Concubine Lin meant, so she answered straightly, "I don't know."
Seeing that he could not count on Zhuo Liu, Helian Chi strode forward and entered the main hall.
"Xiao Yu'er, you came early today. Why don't you take a rest?"
When Concubine Lin saw Helian Chi, she stood up and saluted without interrupting him, looking gentle and polite.
Helian Chi raised his hand without caring, motioning Concubine Lin to go out first.
Concubine Lin nodded obediently and left meekly.
Helian Chi sat next to Helian Yu and picked up a piece of cake.
"Fourth brother, you..." Helian Yu looked him up and down, which made Helian Chi's back cold, "Have you become a real man?"
Helian Chi: “???”
Who taught her!
Chang Zuo's eyes unconsciously glanced at Helian Chi...at the abdomen and below: "Tsk."
Helian Chi: ???
What does it mean! What does Chang Zuo mean? !
Helian Chi almost kicked them out. He felt very uncomfortable, but he forced himself to smile and said, "Xiao Yu'er, if you are curious, I will take you back to the Imperial Master's Mansion and ask the Imperial Master for advice."
Helian Yu's little head immediately shook like a rattle.
“No, no, no!”
Helian Chi decisively avoided the topic which was "not suitable for children" and asked Zhuo Liu to prepare the carriage, intending to take Helian Yu out immediately.
If he stayed in the mansion any longer, he was really worried that she would say something that shouldn't be said.
By then, he would be regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the national master and others.
Helian Chi was rarely flustered, and dragged Helian Yu outside: "Let's go! Fourth brother will take you to Qingfeng Garden. The sun is not too strong now, and the wind is cool."
Before Helian Yu could react, Helian Chi held her in his arms and walked out with big strides.
“…”
Just after leaving the yard and before passing through the hanging flower gate, I saw Concubine Lin and a woman bickering in a sarcastic manner.
Helian Chi's face darkened: I knew that having too many women would cause trouble, but I didn't expect it to be a hassle all the time.
Seeing this situation, Helian Chi couldn't just do nothing, especially with Helian Yu around. If he did nothing, the little girl would spread rumors about him the next day.
Helian Chi sighed softly - after all, he was living in the mouth of that little brat Helian Yu.
So, he said coldly: "What nonsense!"
Concubine Lin and the other woman knelt down and begged for mercy.
"you--"
Helian Chi was stuck and looked at Zhuo Liu with a questioning look - who are they?
Zhuo Liu was silent, then took a step forward and said, "Concubine Lin, Miss Shen, the master wants to ask you what happened and why you are making a fuss outside the courtyard gate?"
"Master, I am innocent! It was Madam Lin who framed me. She ordered the cook to add saffron to my food in order to make me infertile..."
As she spoke, Miss Shen began to cry out of grievance.
Concubine Lin lowered her head and rolled her eyes silently: "Master, Miss Shen is overthinking. My maternal grandfather was an imperial physician, and I also know some medical skills. Last night, I accidentally felt Miss Shen's pulse and knew that she was suffering from qi stagnation and insomnia, so I suggested that she drink some saffron. But Miss Shen didn't listen, so I made the decision on my own and mixed some in her food. I only put a little bit, and she will definitely not be infertile."
Concubine Lin lowered her head and said sullenly, "I won't be so kind next time. If you want to punish me, I will punish you."
Helian Chi didn't know much about the effects of saffron, so he looked at Helian Yu: "What are the effects of saffron? Can it cause infertility in women?"
