Seeing that He Xue really didn't want to accept, the Crown Prince said, "Mother Tong, you should worry about it. He Xue, please wait a while!"
When the Imperial Noble Consort saw that the Crown Prince had spoken, she could only reply, "Then it will be in a while! But you will come to Chengqian Palace every day to watch me handle these matters."
Upon hearing this, He Xue immediately made a face and said, "Auntie, I can't get up!" He Xue loves to sleep until she naturally wakes up!
Seeing the dark circles under He Xue's eyes, the Imperial Noble Consort understood what had happened. She then looked at the Crown Prince and said, "Bao Cheng, although you have just gotten married, you must know how to be moderate, otherwise your bodies will not be able to handle it!"
The Crown Prince awkwardly replied, "Yes, Mother Tong!"
He Xue wished she could disappear into the ground after hearing the Imperial Noble Consort's words, and glared at the Crown Prince.
The Imperial Noble Consort noticed that He Xue was shy and said with a smile, "You don't need to be embarrassed. It's just the beginning of your marriage, your aunt understands!"
At that moment, Emperor Kangxi strode in, exclaiming, "What are you saying? It's so lively!"
The Crown Prince and He Xue rose to pay their respects to Emperor Kangxi.
"Sit down, no need to be so polite!" Kangxi waved his hand and sat down next to the Imperial Noble Consort.
He Xue then sat down next to the Crown Prince.
"Cousin, I want Hexue to take over the palace affairs, but this girl is unwilling!" The Imperial Noble Consort said to Kangxi with a smile.
"This girl is always so lazy, that won't do!" Kangxi said. "From now on, you will learn from your aunt slowly, but you are not allowed to be lazy! This is an imperial edict!"
"Your subject obeys the decree!" He Xue said reluctantly as she stood up.
Seeing He Xue's reluctant expression, the Crown Prince whispered to her, "I'll find you a few more experienced head maids to help you with some of the work!"
"Okay! Thank you, Crown Prince!" He Xue said with a smile.
"Cousin, please have a seat. I'll go to the kitchen to see how dinner is going!" the Imperial Noble Consort said, rising to her feet.
"Okay, go ahead!"
He Xue also wanted to go with the Imperial Noble Consort, but the Imperial Noble Consort said to He Xue, "It's fine for your aunt to go. If you're tired, go and rest for a while. Your original room is still reserved for you!"
The Imperial Noble Consort patted He Xue's hand and left. She wanted to personally arrange for the small kitchen to stew some tonics for He Xue, and she would stew them for He Xue every day from now on. The Crown Prince was also like that, not caring about He Xue's health at all. No wonder He Xue couldn't get up!
He Xue wondered if the Imperial Noble Consort had misunderstood something. [What did the Crown Prince say to Auntie just now? Does Auntie think they were engaging in licentious behavior in broad daylight?]
"Pfft!" The prince was about to pick up his teacup to drink tea, but when he heard He Xue's "daytime debauchery," he almost died on the spot.
"Crown Prince, are you alright?" He Xue anxiously patted the Crown Prince's back.
"Liang Jiugong, summon the imperial physician!" Kangxi ordered.
"No need, Father Emperor, I'm fine!" the Crown Prince quickly said. "I just accidentally choked!"
"Are you really alright?" He Xue asked, still worried.
"It's really nothing!" the Crown Prince said to He Xue.
"Your Majesty..." Liang Jiugong looked at Kangxi, wondering whether he should call the imperial physician!
"Since the Crown Prince is alright, there's no need to call the imperial physician!" Kangxi said only after confirming that the Crown Prince was unharmed.
For the first time, the Crown Prince realized that hearing He Xue's innermost thoughts wasn't necessarily a good thing. The key issue was that He Xue sometimes said surprising things, which he really couldn't handle. He didn't want to be constantly choked up.
"You know about the Eighth Prince's affair, right?" Kangxi asked the Crown Prince.
"knew!"
"What do you think of this matter?" Kangxi continued to ask.
"Of course, the Crown Prince will watch it sitting down; he can't possibly watch it lying down!" He Xue said playfully.
"Cough, cough!" The prince coughed twice, his right hand clenched into a fist and covering his mouth.
"Baocheng, are you sure you're alright?" Kangxi drove directly to the Crown Prince.
"Father, I'm really alright!" the Crown Prince said, rising to his feet.
"Brother Crown Prince, shouldn't we call the imperial physician to take a look?" He Xue was still worried. "Brother Crown Prince, you can't avoid seeking medical treatment!"
"Don't worry, I'm really fine!" the Crown Prince said to He Xue with a smile.
"If you feel unwell, remember to call the imperial physician!" Kangxi instructed again.
"Your Majesty, I understand!" the Crown Prince replied. "Father, has Fiyanggu already contacted you?"
