Li Huaiyin carefully selected a light, moon-white summer dress in front of the wardrobe.
Seeing this, the personal palace maid Xiaodong quickly advised, "Your Highness, it's chilly at night. Why don't you wear this thicker one?"
"I don't want it." Li Huaiyin glanced at the clothes Xiao Dong handed him with disdain, frowned, and put on the one he had originally chosen.
Seeing Xiaodong's hesitant expression, he thought smugly: This silly child doesn't know the advantages of having a sweetheart. When Yunqing goes to the appointment later, she will definitely wear a cloak or cape, and she can wear hers.
Or perhaps, he could simply hold her to keep warm. As his thoughts wandered, Li Huaiyin's heart beat faster and faster, and a blush crept onto his face.
On the other hand, after receiving the message, Yun Qing immediately went out to keep the appointment.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out of the gate of the Minister's residence, she was stopped by an uninvited guest.
"Miss Yun, please wait a moment. I have something important to tell you."
"I'm sorry, I have urgent business to attend to right now." Yun Qing refused Liu Chengxi's request without even thinking.
"You're here to meet His Highness the First Prince, aren't you?" Liu Chengxi said calmly. "What I'm about to say is related to him."
Yun Qing looked puzzled, as if to say: Aren't you friends? What's the point of telling me instead of telling him yourself?
Liu Chengxi understood her gaze and sighed softly, "It's not that I'm unwilling to tell the Crown Prince, it's just that I know he won't believe me even if I do."
Having said that, Yun Qing had no reason to refuse. She looked up at the sky and noticed signs of rain.
"I'm only giving you half an incense stick's time. If I find out you've lied to me, you should know what will happen to you."
Yun Qing's originally gentle face was covered with a layer of frost, which made her even more beautiful. Liu Chengxi was stung by her attitude, but he couldn't help but be moved.
Feeling the heat on his face, he couldn't help but secretly despise himself, hating himself for being so weak-willed, still being captivated by beauty at a time like this.
Yun Qing had no interest in Liu Chengxi's thoughts and led him to the pavilion in the garden.
"Just say what you have to say."
Liu Chengxi came to his senses, considered it for a moment, and finally said those words.
"What did you say? My aunt will make me the crown princess?"
Yun Qing's voice suddenly rose, her tone revealing a hint of excitement.
A hint of surprise flashed through Liu Chengxi's mind; he didn't quite understand Yun Qing's shock.
According to historical records, Emperor Wenxuan was taken into the palace by Emperor Hong'an for education from a young age, and the two were as close as mother and daughter.
If the historical records are true, the current emperor should have already revealed his intention to make Yun Qing the crown prince, right? Why was she so surprised when she heard about this?
Liu Chengxi's mind was like a tangled mess of threads, leaving him unable to grasp the clues.
However, one thing he was certain of was that on the 28th day of the ninth month of the 18th year of Hong'an, Emperor Wenxuan officially conferred upon her the title of Lady of the First Rank during the morning court session.
Today is September 27th.
From the morning onwards, Liu Chengxi had a vague premonition: if he didn't want to completely sever the possibility of being with Yun Qing, he had to reveal the events of the future to her.
"Why should I believe you? Do you know that fabricating such rumors is a capital offense?"
Liu Chengxi stared intently at her, his face showing no sign of guilt.
“This matter is of great importance, and I, Liu, would never dare to deceive you.”
