If only this mouth wasn't so noisy, if only this acting wasn't so exaggerated...
His gaze fell on the woman's slightly parted red lips.
It's like inviting someone to kiss her.
He frowned and abruptly turned his gaze away.
...
Outside the imperial prison.
The veiled woman stood outside the Seventh Prince's prison, her face filled with worry and sorrow.
"Yanhen, are you alright? I'll find a way to save you."
"Chun'er... why did you come here?" Di Yanhen looked at her in surprise.
He sat in the corner, no longer the glamorous figure he once was. His disheveled appearance today made Zhuang Chun feel even more sorry for him.
Beneath the veil, the woman's lips were pressed tightly together into a straight line.
"Yanhen, that regent has gone too far! I'll plead with the emperor to release you!"
“No need.” Di Yanhen immediately stood up, his steps slightly unsteady, and walked to the iron bars. Through the bars, he grasped the woman’s hand.
That affectionate gaze instantly stirred Consort Chun's heart.
He said earnestly, "Arranging for my people to enter the Regent's Palace is what you should do. You don't need to worry about anything else."
Zhuang Chun usually thinks of Di Yanhen.
She was overjoyed to have her hand held by the man and nodded repeatedly.
The next day.
Xiao Tang really did get a good night's sleep.
Because it was the middle of summer, it was unbearably hot to sleep in Qingxin Courtyard at night, but the villain's bedroom was completely different.
Falling asleep in the night brings a refreshing coolness.
She suddenly developed a bit of a crush on the villain's jade bed.
uh-huh.
I wish I could take it with me.
When she woke up, the villain was no longer by her side. She got up and asked Ruyi to come and help her with her makeup and dressing.
At that moment, Yan Shi knocked on the door of the bedroom.
"Your Highness, the Princess is hosting a flower-viewing banquet in the palace today and has invited you to attend. This is the dress that the Prince instructed you to change into."
As Ruyi reached out to take it, Yan Shi made sure to emphasize, "It's brand new. I had a tailor make several of these before."
It means that the prince really cares about the princess!
He rarely saw the prince so devoted to any woman.
Even towards Xiao Rourou...
That was because their benefactor had instructed them to take good care of him, and the prince would only occasionally show him some consideration. But the princess was different.
Ruyi blinked, understanding the unspoken meaning behind Yan Shi's words.
Holding the luxurious dress, she approached Xiao Tang and said, "Your Highness, the Regent really likes you very much."
This is great news!
She had been worried that she would die after returning to the mansion.
It turns out it didn't work!
It's said that couples who quarrel in bed make up before they get out of bed, and it's true.
As long as the princess warms the prince's bed, all the problems will be solved.
Xiao Tang smiled but didn't say anything.
These innocent kids don't understand these things at all...
She went to the palace to attend the flower viewing banquet, not wanting to embarrass the villain, so of course she had to dress well!
The princess's flower-viewing banquet was a feast for the wives of powerful and influential people; in modern terms, it was a pretentious banquet for aristocratic ladies.
As for the eldest princess, Di Qingyuan, she really deserves a mention.
She is the biological daughter of the current Empress Dowager and the most respected elder sister of the Emperor.
It is said that before the Empress Dowager was made Empress, she had already conceived a daughter for the late Emperor, but she kept this a secret. It wasn't until the former Empress died in childbirth that the Empress Dowager's pregnancy with the eldest princess became known.
In the book, Di Qingyuan is the second villain, second only to the main villain.
She cherished the Emperor and Di Jingling, after all, they were her younger brothers whom she had watched grow up, but she disliked the Seventh Prince and Xiao Rourou.
As for why I dislike it...
Then there's more to the story.
After all, the eldest princess had chosen eight husbands, but all eight of them either died or went mad. The eighth husband was originally supposed to be Xiao Wuchen, but he was not chosen because of the obstruction of the seventh prince and Xiao Rourou.
The eighth prince consort, being a military general, had followed the regent into battle several months earlier, and ultimately... died.
Even more outrageous is that the eldest princess, who has had eight husbands, still has no children.
