Chapter 42 Will You Divorce Dongfang Yan?
After entering the gate, Zhao An led the way, bowing his head and saying, "Princess, Qiwu Palace has been cleaned up. You will live there from now on. It is more spacious and comfortable, and it suits your current status."
Lin Qingyue asked, "Did Dongfang Yan arrange this?"
Zhao An said, "Yes. The prince is still very concerned about the princess. Today he even specially ordered the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes and to have dinner with you."
Lin Qingyue frowned: "He knows what I like to eat?"
Zhao An was suddenly choked: It seems that he doesn’t know.
When they arrived at Qiwu Palace, they saw Dongfang Yan standing in front of a large table of food with a very gloomy expression.
Seeing Lin Qingyue, he said unhappily, "Do you know what time it is now?"
Lin Qingyue said, "I know, at the quarter past midnight."
Dongfang Yan hadn't eaten for a whole day and night. Considering that this was their first official meal together, he waited for her on an empty stomach.
As a result... after waiting for two hours and getting really angry, she finally showed up!
He took a deep breath, suppressed his displeasure and said, "Sit down and eat."
Lin Qingyue glanced at the dishes on the table and said, "I had dinner at Xuanjingsi."
Dongfang Yan: "..."
So he waited in vain with an empty stomach all night?
At this point, he was still holding back and offered her a glass of wine: "Since you've eaten, then sit down and have a drink with me. This is to thank you for helping me lure out the Mayfly Silk earlier."
Since it was a thank you drink, Lin Qingyue accepted it without hesitation.
After a glass of wine, Dongfang Yan got straight to the point and said, "This prince would like to make your sister Zhen'er his concubine. What do you think?"
"So this is a Hongmen Banquet." Lin Qingyue threw down the wine glass and said, "I don't agree."
Dongfang Yan asked, "Why?"
Lin Qingyue said, "If you want her to come in, you and I will have to get divorced."
"Lin Qingyue, you..." Dongfang Yan was a little angry. He had been so kind in discussing things with her, yet she hadn't given him any room to maneuver.
"I'm discussing this with you because I've already considered you my legal wife. Zhen'er, after all, saved my life. I can promise you that after Zhen'er enters the palace, she won't shake your position. Is this... okay?"
This was the first time in such a long time that Dongfang Yan had discussed things with her so patiently.
He put aside his status as a prince and calmly discussed the matter of marriage with his wife like an ordinary husband.
But Lin Qingyue refused without a trace of courtesy and said coldly, "I don't agree."
"Lin Qingyue, why are you so stubborn? Marrying a wife and taking concubines is a common thing. Even ordinary merchants have several concubines. I am trying to talk to you in a kind way, but why are you so stubborn?"
He seemed to have thought of something, and his tone softened. "Are you blaming me for leaving you alone in the empty room on our wedding night? If you can change your unpleasant temper, I... I will make you a true princess. Or, before Zhen'er comes home, I will make you pregnant."
Xiaohua had been squatting by the door, quietly eavesdropping. When she heard the last part, her eyes widened, and she immediately looked at Lin Qingyue's reaction.
Lin Qingyue was also a little surprised. She was stunned for a moment and then suddenly laughed.
Dongfang Yan was a little annoyed: "Lin Qingyue, what are you laughing at?"
Lin Qingyue stopped laughing: "Dongfang Yan, let's get a divorce!"
Xiao Hua actually breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She didn't know why she felt this way, perhaps because she felt Dongfang Yan wasn't good enough for her. Or maybe it was something else.
Dongfang Yan's face turned cold: "Lin Qingyue, even if you are unwilling, there is no need to threaten me with the divorce!"
"I'm threatening you?" Lin Qingyue leaned in closer, revealing a charming smile. "Do you know what the best way to be threatened is?"
Her breath was as sweet as orchid, and she whispered softly in his ear, "That means if you agree to my words, you won't be afraid of being threatened. What do you think, Your Highness?"
Dongfang Yan turned his eyes slightly to meet Lin Qingyue's provocative gaze, and slowly said, "Don't even think about it!"
Lin Qingyue laughed: "Then you too... forget it!"
The final result was that Dongfang Yan left with a wave of his sleeves, and Lin Qingyue had the entire Qiwu Palace to herself.
Dongfang Yan left in a huff, his face terribly gloomy.
He walked out of the palace gate, then suddenly stopped and asked Zhao An, "Do you think I'm being too indulgent with the princess? She wants to go to the Xuanjing Division, and I acquiesced. I don't want to dwell on what happened in the past, and I've even said all the good things I could!"
Zhao An said: "Men indulge women mostly because they care about them."
"You mean..." Dongfang Yan said slowly, "I care about her? I care about Lin Qingyue?"
Zhao An said, "Your Highness, think about how you felt when you first met the princess. Disgusted, unwilling to even say a word. And now? The princess disobeys you time and time again, yet you still consider her feelings. You even take the initiative to show your goodwill. If this isn't caring, then what is it?"
Do you care?
If he didn't care, how could he tolerate her disobedience again and again? If he didn't care, why would he... want her to be his true princess, not just in name only?
The lights in Qiwu Palace were on, and there were a bunch of maids and nannies.
Lin Qingyue felt that it was a bit troublesome, so she sent everyone away and only left Bier to serve by her side.
When there were no outsiders around, Bi'er said, "The prince is really strange. On the one hand, he is trying to show his favor to you, but on the other hand, he wants to make the second young lady a concubine. Princess, if you don't give in, will the prince be angry? But the second young lady..."
When Bier thought about the various schemes that Lin Ruzhen had done to the master and servant in the Lin family, she felt a little horrified.
"Princess, even if the palace wants to bring in a new person, it absolutely cannot be the Second Young Lady!"
Lin Qingyue said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Other women would stop their husbands from taking concubines out of jealousy, but Lin Qingyue was not like that. She simply wanted to torture him.
"Bi'er, go down and rest."
When Lin Qingyue has nothing to do at night, she is busy practicing, so it is naturally inconvenient for someone to be around.
Bi'er left obediently and helped her extinguish the candle.
Lin Qingyue was about to sit cross-legged when she suddenly looked up and met a pair of bright and shining eyes.
She asked, "You haven't left yet?"
"It was inconvenient to talk to you because there were so many people around." Xiaohua jumped down from the high cabinet. "Will you divorce Dongfang Yan?"
During the time Xiaohua stayed with Lin Qingyue, she had been secretly observing her and Dongfang Yan.
He keenly noticed that Dongfang Yan's attitude towards Lin Qingyue had changed significantly.
