Chapter 481 Sixteen Years Old

The Crown Prince of the East Palace finally recovered from his illness at the beginning of winter.

It was thought that this gifted lady would continue to shine in the court, but as it turned out, whether because of the injury to Zhongyong or for some other reason, she gradually faded away in the court.

He even openly dozed off in the court, and was reprimanded by the emperor and asked to reflect on his mistakes.

The result was out of control, and without much thought, the Crown Prince, who had nothing to do and was free from worries, became even more arrogant and dissolute, indulging himself in sensual pleasures.

The music of stringed instruments, singing and dancing never stopped in the mansion.

But she didn't like watching dancers dance, she liked men dancing with their muscular upper bodies exposed.

Today, Bei Jingchu is still pursuing her own career of enjoyment, although she feels a little guilty.

A handsome young man held the wine glass to her lips, his eyes were as seductive as silk.

Bei Jingchu drank it with a smile.

Lei Nian'er, who had returned triumphantly to Beijing, felt dizzy when she saw this scene.

What a tyrant he is.

Where is her wise, brave, outstanding and talented crown prince!!!

When we welcomed the returning army yesterday, Bei Jingchu was still very honest and behaved like a human being.

Lei Nian'er roughly knew what was happening in the capital through letters. Although she was very anxious, she also knew that what was most important to her was the war on the front line.

Among the small countries that participated in the assassination of the emperor, those that were close recovered the territory of Dai Viet, and those that were far away plundered a wave of tributes before returning to the court.

Seeing Bei Jingchu looking like a decent person yesterday, she felt a little relieved.

How come in just one day he becomes a plaything and a dandy! ! !

Lei Nian'er wanted to rush up and wake her up.

At this time, another young man next to Bei Jingchu saw his companion feeding the baby successfully, and also tried to imitate him.

But he was smarter than his teacher and poured the wine into his own mouth, wanting to have a passionate kiss.

Facing the big face approaching suddenly, Bei Jingchu sobered up 70% of the time, and all he could think of was "Don't come over here!!!"

A slap covered his mouth.

Ugly rejection.

After pushing people away, she caught a glimpse of the pale-faced Lei Nian'er beside her and waved excitedly.

"Nian'er, come and play together!"

Her invitation was also rudely rejected by Lei Nian'er, and Bei Jingchu felt a little sad.

The male dancer and the various young men beside her left, and the large room seemed extremely empty.

Bei Jingchu's drunken and decadent appearance as he slumped in the chair was even more eye-catching.

She was holding the wine bottle and pouring wine into her mouth, but Lei Nian'er snatched it away. The uncollected wine spilled on her chin and the hem of her clothes, looking a bit wolfish.

Bei Jingchu took the handkerchief handed to him by Changyan in a good mood and wiped his mouth. He looked like he didn't care about material things and was only interested in enjoying the present moment.

Lei Nian'er felt distressed and sad, and she gritted her teeth and said, "What do you look like now!"

"Even if His Majesty suspects you because of the assassination, and you are feeling bad, it has been half a year, and you should be feeling better by now!"

Bei Jingchu looked extremely disappointed and powerless to resist. She sighed while holding the fruit plate and ate while sighing.

He muttered in a swollen voice, "What if I slow down?"

"He is the ruler of a country, with the power of life and death."

"Everything I have was given by him, and he can easily destroy it."

Lei Nian'er was silent.

She thought she had fallen into the abyss of desire, but only now did she realize that she was sinking consciously.

Lei Nian'er was confused for a long time, and the only sound in the whole room was the crunching sound of Bei Jingchu eating fruits and snacks.

When she went to the front, her Highness the Crown Prince was still deeply trusted, especially since the Emperor was seriously injured and she was only one step away from the supreme throne.

If the emperor had been killed at that time, she would have called him "Your Majesty" when she returned.

Unfortunately, the prince at that time would never do it. She could not have imagined that her father would have a completely different temperament when he woke up again.

If Lei Nian'er herself knew that she had taken the opportunity to plot against the emperor, she would also be disappointed in her.

His Majesty's love for the prince was obvious to all. If she really took advantage of his misfortune, such an ungrateful person would not be worthy of their following.

But...she felt very depressed when she saw Bei Jingchu who was chewing some pastry crumbs.

How did it become like this?

Her voice was dry and her words were a little hoarse.

"But this is not a solution..."

"Your Majesty cannot depose you now because of the prestige and merits you have accumulated before."

"But if you continue to decline, all those things will be consumed."

After some hesitation, Lei Nian'er still spoke frankly: "Although it sounds unpleasant, it is not orthodox for a woman to be the crown prince. If you don't have those blessings, you will be in danger."

Bei Jingchu said "Oh" and asked, "Then what should I do?"

"Of course, it is to prove to His Majesty and everyone in the world that you are the best!"

After saying this, Bei Jingchu narrowed her eyes, and even the corners of her mouth were filled with disdain.

Look at this innocent child, he is still trying to prove himself to others.

He is so honest, not rebellious at all.

She reached out and touched Lei Nian'er's forehead, murmuring, "You don't have a fever... You look really stupid."

"Fortunately, I am still standing alone, otherwise the future of the East Palace would be in sight."

Lei Nian'er: ...Your scolding was a bit offensive to Chuchu.

Bei Jingchu sighed: "You can't wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep."

"He's already jealous of me. The better I am, the more annoying it is to him."

Lei Nian'er disagreed: "But decay is the same, it's just a slower process."

Bei Jingchu looked like he had given up hope.

"It's better to go slow than fast. Let's have fun while we're still alive."

She waved her paw and asked Changyan to call in the musicians and dancers.

The dance music that was interrupted for a moment soon started up again, and the room was filled with the sounds of singing and dancing again.

Lei Nian'er's eyes were blank, and she seemed unable to accept her current situation.

The words of persuasion came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.

Indeed, what can we do?

She is already sad enough. Since she can only wait for the judgment of fate, why not let her let go.

Others thought so too. The luxury of the East Palace was like a final carnival, a dying man spending all his wealth before his death.

And just like that, it was Bei Jingchu’s sixteenth birthday.
