Shen Zhihua's complexion finally returned to normal. He looked at Dongfang Ye and forced a smile on his face: "Yes."
Dongfang Ye knew in his heart that Shen Zhihua was a talented person, and the more enemies of Dongfang Jin he could win over, the better.
The two men smiled at each other, and Dongfang Ye stayed at the evening banquet at Prince Kang's mansion.
Listening to the sound of stringed instruments, An Yanran became angry. She pushed all the teacups and vases to the ground, making a loud noise. Some pieces of debris almost splashed on her. Caiyun was so scared that she immediately stepped forward to protect her: "Master, you are pregnant. If you are angry, you can beat me, but don't hurt yourself."
An Yanran looked at her and said, "What's the point of you protecting me like this? I don't have a mother, and I don't have a good brother like others. An Mingxuan only knows how to play all day, he doesn't know anything, and he can't help at all."
"Master, keep your voice down. If the prince hears, he will be angry. The child in your belly is better than any brother, and it's a boy. When you become a princess, what is there for you to be angry about?"
An Yanran stared at Caiyun, who felt a little uneasy. Suddenly, An Yanran burst out laughing, "You're right. When I become a princess, I won't need you to serve me. I'll give you a few maids."
"I would like to thank the princess in advance." Caiyun shouted out in joy. It was not known whether An Yanran did not hear it clearly, or she heard it too clearly, and a smile slowly appeared on her face.
Prince Ning's Mansion.
Youmengxuan, with its red walls, red tiles and gold-painted corridors, looks extremely luxurious from a distance.
At this moment, the peonies have just bloomed. On both sides of the red steps, two bright red peonies sway in the wind, attracting many pink butterflies, which alight and fly, extremely busy.
Next to the gold-lacquered pillar, a figure stood gracefully. She was wearing a bright red silk skirt with lotus flowers entwined around her body, and moon-white shoes with a cloud pattern made of strong gold silk. She was leaning against the pillar, looking very beautiful.
She fits seamlessly into the palace, but it's a pity that this beauty's eyes are cold and sinister.
"Taozhi, why hasn't the doctor come yet?" Qin Xiangning asked with impatience in her voice.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid ran forward and whispered, "Princess, I have sent someone to invite you. You don't need the doctor in the palace, so I have to trouble you. Princess, if you are tired, I will help you go back to your room to rest."
"No need." Qin Xiang was staring at the butterfly on the flower. Suddenly, a big black butterfly flew over. She moved her eyebrows and said, "Catch it for me."
At her command, the little maid standing next to her immediately tiptoed forward. As a result, the black butterfly was extremely alert. It flew up and circled for a while, as if it realized the danger and did not land.
The maids looked at Qin Xiangning with fear on their faces. Qin Xiangning just sighed and waved her hand: "Forget it, you don't have to stand here. I'm annoyed. By the way, has the prince come back? Why is he so late today?"
"Princess, the prince returned half an hour ago." A little maid came forward and whispered.
"Then why didn't you come?" Qin Xiangning looked towards the door, "Has the prince finished his meal?"
"My princess, the prince has gone to Caiyinxuan."
After she finished speaking, she took a step back, her eyes full of fear.
Qin Xiangning glanced at the maids, her lips curled down, and after a while, she looked at the two clumps of peonies. The yard was very quiet, so she could hear faint singing in the distance. Su Ji was good at singing and dancing, so she named the yard Caiyinxuan and provided singing and dancing for her. The Ning Palace specially assigned a group of singing girls to Su Ji for training. Therefore, the Ning Palace was often filled with beautiful singing, especially when Qin Xiangning was alone in her empty room, the singing was even more real.
Qin Xiangning's eyebrows twitched twice and she smiled: "Well, as long as the prince eats well and rests well, I will be relieved. By the way, Taozhi, go and give the prince some of the honey-glazed eggplants that the kitchen has just sent, and add a dish to them."
Upon hearing this, Taozhi immediately walked up the stairs lightly, and left happily carrying a plate, as if she had escaped from the sea of suffering. The other maids were all silent, still not daring to make a sound.
Qin Xiangning raised her hand, and the maids all knelt on the ground. Seeing this, the corners of her mouth curled up, and her eyes were cold. However, she turned her eyes and smiled: "It's okay, you can get up and bring the doctor in."
It turned out that a servant had just come in with an old man, who was the doctor.
Qin Xiangning turned around and went back to the room, lay on the bed, lowered the bed curtain, stretched out a white wrist from the curtain and placed it on the celadon pulse pillow. After diagnosis, the old doctor told her that the fetus was balanced and everything was normal.
Qin Xiangning's voice came from behind the curtain: "Doctor, I have something to consult you about."
Then, she lowered her voice even more, and the maids could barely hear it. After a while, the old man said, "After the first three months, it won't be a problem. Just be careful."
The next day, Qin Xiangning found another doctor and asked the same questions. The doctor's answers were basically the same as the old man's the day before, and Qin Xiangning felt much better.
He also gave each of the maids a reward of one hundred yuan, which was unprecedented in the mansion.
Caiyinxuan.
A melodious song like the sound of nature was heard.
Dongfang Yan held the cup in his left hand and clapped and tapped the table with his right hand. His eyes were fixed on a graceful figure, which was Su Ji, whose figure was faintly visible under a veil. The veil was tender pink, and because it was thin, it was somewhat close to the moonlight white. When she sang, she held a glass of wine in her hand, and her eyes were bright as clouds. Dongfang Yan was already drunk. As soon as he stretched out his arm, Su Ji's body softened and she fell into his arms. The singing stopped, but her cherry-like lips kissed him. Dongfang Yan's left hand trembled, and the wine in the glass spilled out. His men picked up Su Ji, kicked the small table in front of him away, and ran straight to the bedroom.
"Your Highness, I'm not feeling well." When Su Ji spoke, her eyes were like hooks. Dongfang Yan could no longer look away. One of his hands had already started moving up and down. Su Ji's body was like a snake, following Dongfang Yan like a shadow. Dongfang Yan didn't think about anything at this moment. He only had this enchanting woman in his eyes. At this moment, the enchanting woman panted in his ear: "Your Highness, do you have me in your heart?"
"Yes... why not? Some are very..."
"Then how does this slave compare to the princess?"
"You are better than...the king, the queen mother." Dongfang Yan gritted his teeth and attacked her as if she was an enemy.
Su Ji blossomed under him like a black poppy, exuding a seductive aura. Dongfang Yan didn't even know what he said, nor did he know what consequences his words would cause.
Finally, the noise stopped, leaving only the panting sound. Su Ji leaned in front of Dongfang Yan and said, "My Lord, you have been in my room all the time. I am afraid that the princess will be unhappy."
"So what if she's unhappy? I'm not in the mood to be with her big belly." Dongfang Yan said disdainfully.
Su Ji smiled: "Even if the princess is pregnant and cannot serve, there are still other sisters. I can't be so selfish and let them blame me behind my back."
"What? Someone is giving you trouble?"
"No, it's just that I have to think about my sisters, and Your Majesty has to share the love and care equally."
"What? Do you dislike me?" Dongfang Yan pinched her face.
"How could that be? I wish the prince belonged to me alone. I admit that I said this only for the sake of generality. In fact, I hope that I would be the only one in the whole palace." She giggled.
Dongfang Yan also smiled: "This king likes your energy."
"Really? Then I still have other powers..." As she said that, she turned over and looked down at Dongfang Yan. Her hands rubbed and kneaded his body like playing a piano. Dongfang Yan kept looking at the person on his body, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth...
The next day.
Su Ji, dressed in green gauze, appeared in front of Qin Xiangning like a green onion. Qin Xiangning sat on the couch, looked up, and put down the flower stand in her hand: "What's going on? Have you even forgotten the rules?"
Her voice was not loud, but her tone was cold.
Su Ji did not kneel down, but looked at Qin Xiangning with a raised brow: "Princess, I was serving the prince last night and I sprained my waist. I can only stand, not kneel. Please forgive me, Princess."
"Okay, then I forgive you. What's the matter?" Qin Xiangning picked up the needle again and stabbed it. The dew on the lotus petals appeared. She felt that the dew was her masterpiece and could not help but admire it with satisfaction, as if she had forgotten that there was another person here.
Su Ji coughed lightly and said, "Princess, I have something I want to report to you. I hope you can fulfill it."
"Oh? Go ahead." Qin Xiangning said with a smile, "Do you have something that I must solve? Isn't the prince always by your side?"
"Hey, Princess, are you blaming me?" Su Ji's voice was full of provocation.
Qin Xiangning still looked at the dewdrops: "I am going to take a rest, if you have nothing to do, please leave."
"I have something else to do. I was singing yesterday, and there was a song that I couldn't play with my zither to the same charm. So, I want to buy a zither. I heard that the zither shop has just got a guqin, Jiaowei, and it needs 5,000 taels of silver. Please approve it, Princess."
"No." Qin Xiangning refused without any hesitation.
Su Ji didn't expect this result. She was stunned for a moment, half opening her pink lips: "Princess, I came up to ask you in advance because I respect you. If I told the prince directly, I'm afraid that the princess wouldn't even have this little face. Now the princess actually refused. I want this piano not for myself, but I also want to make the prince happy and serve him happily."
"Who are you talking to?" Qin Xiangning put down what she was holding, looked at her, and suddenly laughed happily, "You really told me a big joke. If I don't laugh a few times, I'll be sorry for you."
