He thought for a moment and said, "Since you have promised her, I cannot refuse your honor. So, I will first confer the title of Liangyuan on the Feng family's daughter."
Jiang Jingchuan: "Thank you, Father, for your consideration."
Not long after he came out of the imperial study, the emperor's edict arrived at the Feng family.
In just half a day, the entire Eastern Palace knew that in two months, a new beautiful lady would move into the Eastern Palace.
The prince returned to Qionghua Palace immediately. He originally wanted to see if Tu Qingyu was jealous and then try to coax her.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived outside the Qionghua Palace, he would hear a depressing conversation.
"Master, there will be new people entering the East Palace in two months. Then we will..."
"Let's just do what we have to do."
"Aren't you sad?"
"Is it useful to be sad about something like this? His Highness doesn't just have me. There will be more women in the future. After all, I am just a concubine of His Highness."
"master……"
"Don't worry, Ma'am. I've said before that I don't expect His Highness to be sincere."
"And you?"
"Mammy, in this harem, the most important thing is to guard your heart. Don't ask for too much, whether it's your heart for wealth and glory or your heart for His Highness."
"Master is so clear-minded at such a young age. This servant is very happy, but also... distressed."
"You don't have to feel sorry for me. I live a life of luxury, much better than others."
Jiang Jingchuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he turned around and left Qionghua Palace.
After tossing and turning in his bedroom all night, he saw a familiar booklet on his desk the next day.
He thought he would see the same remarks as yesterday when he opened the book, but the reality was far beyond his expectation.
[The 41st year of Qianyuan, the seventh day of the fifth month.]
A new concubine will be coming in two months. I told the nanny to keep my heart, not be tempted, and not care.
But in fact, when I heard the news, I couldn't help feeling a little bitter.
I know that I have fallen for His Highness's care over the past few days, and I realize that I will subconsciously rely on and trust him.
To rely on and trust the father of my child, a handsome and strong man who cares for me every day.
Sometimes I even miss them when I can’t see them, and feel happy when I see them.
He calls himself my husband, but I know clearly that in the entire Eastern Palace, the only one who is qualified to call him husband is the Crown Princess.
I am really afraid that one day in the future, I will no longer remember that my name is Tu Qingyu, but the concubine of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace - Tu.
I always remind myself to guard my heart.
I am sinking all the time.
Sinking awake. 】
He could almost imagine how bitter the little girl felt when she wrote this.
Will you cry?
He looked at the page carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no traces of tears.
After asking someone to send the booklet back, he couldn't wait to meet Tu Qingyu.
So when Tu Qingyu just got up, he saw an enlarged face.
"Ah——!" She was startled. "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Jiang Jingchuan, who was fascinated by Tu Qingyu's sleeping face, finally came back to his senses.
He sat up straight and coughed lightly, "I just saw there was something dirty on your face and wanted to wipe it off for you."
"Really?" She wiped her face roughly with her hands, but after just one or two wipes, there were red marks on her face.
He grabbed Tu Qingyu's hand and said, "You are so rude, I will come here."
There was no dirty thing at all. It was just a lecher who used the excuse of dirty things to touch the beautiful woman's face again and again.
Tu Qingyu turned his head and said, "Your Highness, it's itchy."
"Okay." Jiang Jingchuan withdrew his hand, then skillfully picked up the clothes on the bedside and began to dress her.
"Your Highness, I can do all these by myself." Tu Qingyu said these words countless times.
"I know, but I like to serve our Tu Liangyuan."
"Your Highness is talking nonsense again."
"Yes, I'm just chatting with you."
He dressed the man and held him in his arms.
He rested his chin on her shoulder and whispered softly in her ear, "Yu'er, I love you the most."
Tu Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I know."
"you do not know."
Neither of them spoke anymore.
Tu Qingyu was thinking about the records that Dabao showed her.
Since she entered the palace, although Jiang Jingchuan sometimes summoned other people, most of the time they just chatted under the quilt.
From this point of view, the prince likes her, but it may also be for other reasons.
For example, if you have eaten good food, you will not be able to eat bad food.
But she actually doesn't care much about this.
As long as I can reach the highest position, anything is fine.
Jiang Jingchuan's mind was full of the diary he had just read. He knew that she was also moved, but she just didn't dare to show it.
It doesn’t matter, they still have a long way to go.
He has plenty of time to make the other party trust him and be sincere to him.
A month later, the emperor, who was originally planning to tour the capital, postponed his tour due to flooding in the south of the Yangtze River.
This push lasted for a month, and Feng Liangyuan from the Eastern Palace had even entered the palace, but the emperor had not yet set off.
On the ninth day of the seventh month, Tu Qingyu was already five months pregnant.
She was pregnant with twins, and her belly was much bigger than the other five-month-old's.
At first, when she showed her pregnancy, there were some rumors in the East Palace.
It is said that she was already pregnant before the prince had sex with her, otherwise her belly would not have been so big.
Later it was found out that the rumor was spread by a nail buried by Concubine Shu in the Eastern Palace. Jiang Jingchuan pulled out the nail's tongue, cut the tendons of his hands and feet, and threw it into Concubine Shu's bedroom.
At that time, Concubine Shu was almost scared to death.
But the emperor did not listen to her crying, but warned her not to cause any more trouble.
He gave up the idea of deposing the crown prince, and he really gave it up.
No one can easily touch the prince unless he has this idea.
Later, the Eastern Palace released the news that Tu Liangyuan was pregnant with twins.
The rumors will naturally be proven wrong.
When Feng Liangyuan entered the Eastern Palace, the gift she gave was similar to hers, except that she brought some dowry with her.
The prince was going to accompany Tu Qingyu that evening, but Li Shi reminded him, "Your Highness, Feng Liangyuan's father is the current minister. His Majesty might ask about it tomorrow."
Yes, this woman was given to him by his father, and he couldn't offend his father too much.
He walked to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote something, then folded the paper and put it in his purse.
"Li Shi, go and give this to her. Then go to the storehouse and give her the set of kingfisher feather crowns."
Li Shi took the purse and said, "Yes."
In fact, there was nothing in his wallet. He just explained why he had to go today, and implicitly mentioned that he would not touch other women.
Tu Qingyu was very satisfied that this man had started to develop the habit of reporting.
In front of Li Shi, she still smiled shyly.
Grabbing a handful of golden melon seeds, he said, "I'd like to ask Steward Li to go and tell His Highness that I know."
