As expected, upon hearing these words, His Highness the Crown Prince couldn't suppress the smile that appeared on his lips.
His eyes were filled with love, as if he were looking at a woman who was deeply in love with him, and he was extremely satisfied.
"Rest assured, I have already petitioned my father that no new women will be admitted to Chonghua Palace before the birth of our legitimate son."
Upon hearing this, Liu Lingxi raised an eyebrow. She truly hadn't expected that the Crown Prince would actually refuse the selection of concubines.
It's important to understand that the imperial court and the harem were closely intertwined.
Marrying another woman from a high-ranking family would greatly help him seize the throne.
Since the passing of his grandfather and father, his Liu family had fallen into decline and its influence had diminished considerably.
If the crown prince wants to increase his power, he still needs to marry another woman, as marriage is the most reliable relationship.
Otherwise, who would risk their life to follow you and shed blood? That would be a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of their family.
But if they really succeed, they can also gain merit by supporting the emperor and become relatives of the emperor. Isn't that what happened to the Jiang family?
Before Liu Lingxi could decide how to express her opinion, she heard His Highness the Crown Prince speak again.
"Not only that, I will also find a way to send away the concubines in the manor, so that you will be the only one in Chonghua Palace from now on, is that alright?"
What?
Has His Highness gone mad?
These words shocked not only Liu Lingxi, but also the palace maids and eunuchs who served them food.
What man doesn't love beautiful women?
Although the Crown Princess is indeed beautiful, there are different types of beauties, and there are always some that men find more refreshing.
Does the Crown Prince only want to live a life with his Crown Princess?
"Your Highness, you really don't need to do so much for me..."
As soon as the softer, more charming voice came out, Sheng Changfeng knew that the Crown Princess liked it.
It seems this move was the right one!
He gradually entered Xi'er's heart, instead of just showing superficial concern.
Liu Lingxi was truly moved this time. Even ordinary wealthy men have three wives and four concubines.
As a result, the most esteemed person in the world said, "Of the three thousand rivers, I only drink from one."
The promise was so beautiful that Liu Lingxi was easily moved.
"Your Highness, is it true?"
"Of course, I would never lie to you. If I couldn't do it, I wouldn't have mentioned it."
The Crown Prince looked at his Crown Princess with tenderness, touched her stunned little face, and was in a good mood.
With her around, who would even look at those ordinary, unattractive women?
The Crown Princess probably has no idea how charming she is.
"Have a meal."
"Um."
It wasn't until after the meal that Liu Lingxi truly recovered.
She thought that if he really did it, she would not let him down.
But if you can't do that, then pretend you didn't hear these words and just be a good Crown Princess.
She was now even qualified to experience love, something that so captivates the heart.
The Crown Prince kept his word and went to deal with the matter after finishing his meal.
Most of the women were appeased with money and land deeds, and those who wanted to return home were also sent back.
Li Hua didn't want to leave, and there were a few others who wanted to try their luck at this incredible fortune, but the Crown Prince threatened to send them away if they were sold into slavery.
There was no way he could leave any potential troublemakers around his Crown Princess.
Especially since his mother showed her dislike for Xi'er today, he had to be even more careful in dealing with her.
This was no small matter, and it naturally alerted those above.
Upon learning this, the emperor sighed inwardly and considered summoning the crown prince to give him a reprimand.
But it was getting late, so I decided to say hello again tomorrow.
It's outrageous! The Crown Princess is so ignorant; why didn't she stop her?
Or, let's call them over tomorrow and give them a good talking-to.
"Bai Qing, tomorrow is the day when all the palaces pay their respects to the Empress, isn't it?"
"Your Majesty, tomorrow is the tenth of the ninth month. The rule of every five or ten days is set by Her Majesty the Empress. Tomorrow is indeed the day for all the palaces to pay their respects."
"Okay, go down."
"yes."
Sheng Jin thought that deliberately calling the Crown Princess over to scold her would cause people to speculate whether he was dissatisfied with her.
If people misunderstand that he is dissatisfied with the Crown Prince, then he will be in trouble.
I should leave court early tomorrow and go to Fengyi Palace to see my good but unreasonable daughter-in-law.
...
In Fengyi Palace, the Empress was truly angry this time!
The Crown Prince always listened to her the most. Back then, she used the excuse of her health injury to prevent him from favoring the Crown Princess, and the Crown Prince complied.
Why are you now contradicting her?
She had just suggested selecting a few concubines for the Crown Prince when he immediately dismissed his original concubines.
Isn't this just being stubborn and contradicting yourself?
Sure enough, it's no good if they're not your own children!
They weren't even on your side.
If it weren't for the late hour, she would have definitely called the Crown Princess over and given her a good scolding!
Jealousy is a major taboo for women.
"Your Highness, please don't be angry. Tomorrow is the day for the joint audience with the Crown Princess. You will be able to see her then and say whatever you want."
Jiang Mama knew the Empress very well; she could tell what was wrong just by seeing that the Empress looked unwell.
Fearing that the Empress would harm her health from anger, she quickly offered suggestions and gently comforted her.
"You're right. Tomorrow, the Imperial Household Department needs to give him a good talking-to so he doesn't break any taboos without realizing it."
A cold glint flashed in Empress Jiang Qiuyue's eyes, chilling to the bone and sending shivers down the spines of those who saw it.
Jiang Mama was not afraid; on the contrary, she felt even more sorry for her mistress.
...
The news reached all the palaces, causing shock or anger, but spring was in full bloom at Chonghua Palace.
The Crown Prince looked at the woman before him, veiled in red, her face like a budding flower, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The Crown Princess shed her restrictive palace attire, revealing a thin veil over which she appeared completely naked, giving her a unique and alluring charm.
Is this still the dignified and elegant Crown Princess I knew? She's practically a nine-tailed red fox, alluring and captivating.
Fortunately, there was no one else in the bedroom, otherwise he would have gouged out their eyes.
"Xi'er, is this... a reward today?"
His Highness the Crown Prince could no longer bear it. He suddenly stood up from the bed and pressed the person down onto the bed.
Liu Lingxi was initially a little shy when she put on this outfit, but at Ye Zhi's urging, she changed into it anyway.
Regardless of what happens in the future, the Crown Prince's affection for her today deserves this treatment.
The crown prince went mad for a time.
So what if she goes crazy today?
You should always give it a try, just in case your sincerity isn't trampled on.
"Your Highness, the night is too short; would you like to savor it for yourself?"
Her eyes were alluring, her breath sweet as orchids.
In a daze, Sheng Changfeng felt as if he had entered a paradise, and his Crown Princess was the ruler of that world.
Every smile, every gesture, every movement of hers captivated his soul, filling him with blissful pleasure.
"Xi'er, this is a reward you gave me voluntarily, so don't complain about being tired today."
"Then it depends on whether Your Highness tries hard enough."
Oh my god, this is really going to kill me!
He has now witnessed the ultimate pleasure.
