"It's already early in the evening, Your Highness. You should rest early." Zhao Erbao buried his head in his chest by the end of his sentence, not daring to steal a glance at his master.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yinong's face remained expressionless, but the look in his eyes darkened. He had experienced this familiar scene several times before, and the outcome was always the same: after suppressing the matter for a few days, the Ming Prince's mansion would transform from a festive atmosphere adorned with red and colorful decorations to a mansion shrouded in mourning, with sorrowful music and weeping lingering in the air.
Now another innocent woman has entered this process. Qin Yinong's heart is filled with mixed feelings. She is quite unwilling, but unfortunately the imperial decree has been issued. Her mother and brother are paying close attention, so she has no choice but to cooperate.
Qin Yinong remained silent for a long time, her face ashen, without uttering a word.
The once quiet study was now so quiet you could hear a pin drop. In the eerie silence, the eunuchs and servants serving inside shrank their necks, trying to minimize their presence.
Zhao Erbao carefully took two small steps back, beads of sweat appearing on the tip of his nose.
Good heavens, if he has to do this kind of work a few more times, his little body won't be able to handle it. I just hope that this time it really will fulfill the wishes of those two masters, and that the prince will have someone by his side.
Suddenly, Qin Yinong threw the book she was holding onto the table, stood up, and strode out the door.
Zhao Erbao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, finally completing the task; his heart had been pounding with fear.
However, he dared not delay and quickly ran out to catch up with his master.
Although the Ming Prince's Mansion occupies a vast area, it has very few owners. Apart from the Ming Prince, there is only the newly arrived Princess Consort. Zhao Erbao arranged an excellent location for the new mistress's living quarters in advance.
Qin Yinong was tall and strong, and walked very fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, she entered the courtyard where the new princess lived in the backyard and stood outside the new house.
He stopped in his tracks outside the door, ignoring the eunuchs and servants kneeling in the courtyard to pay their respects, and quietly looked at the new room in front of him, draped in red silk and decorated with large red double happiness characters.
Even without seeing it with his own eyes, he knew there must be a young and beautiful bride inside, the very queen he was going to personally marry today.
Thinking of this, Qin Yinong's breathing suddenly became heavier, and she clenched her fists tightly.
That's what he's always wanted to become, but unfortunately, tens of thousands of years have passed, and he can still only use a man's body.
Day after day, year after year, how could Qin Yinong not be jealous?
At this moment, the old nanny, specially sent by the Empress Dowager, stepped forward and curtsied to Qin Yinong. She had watched Prince Ming grow up, and to be frank, she felt very sorry for what the young master had suffered back then.
Seeing Prince Ming standing at the door, she quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort is waiting for you in the bridal chamber. Please come in quickly."
Qin Yinong snapped out of his daze, nodded slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his long, slender hand, pushed open the door to the new house, and took a step forward.
He slowly stepped into the room. The bridal chamber had already been cleaned by the old nanny, and only the new princess was inside. When the old nanny saw the Prince enter, she took a step forward and closed the door tightly. Then she turned around and stood in front of the bridal chamber, personally guarding it and ordering everyone else to stay at least ten meters away and not to approach.
Qin Yinong held her breath and focused her mind, deliberately ignoring certain images that surfaced in her mind, trying hard to suppress her turbulent thoughts, and slowly walked step by step into the new house.
However, it was clearly not very effective. The further he went in, the more rapid his breathing became, and his eyes were already somewhat red.
