Chapter 107 Love is not just something you say!
The Crown Prince's Temporary Palace.
Since Xiao Qingxuan was expelled from the Eastern Palace.
He and Qian Yueshu always met in this newly purchased courtyard.
It's as if this is their wedding room!
The newly purchased house is old.
Yet it is also elegant and unique, every brick and tile was arranged by Qian Yueshu herself for the Crown Prince.
Spring has arrived, flowers are in bloom, and the garden is filled with a subtle fragrance, adding an untimely elegance to this desolate place.
Meanwhile, the Crown Prince's residence next door is also under rapid construction.
After all, it's springtime.
The ice and snow have melted, and the roads are open.
Whether it's material transportation or craftsmanship, the stagnation of the harsh winter is gone.
Building a house can be done very quickly as long as you have enough manpower and materials!
Unfortunately, the crown prince had both of these things.
Because the Empress has recently been very favored, the Ministry of Works is treating the Crown Prince exceptionally well.
The status of women in the imperial harem often reflected the status of their sons in the imperial court!
Because the Empress's position is as stable as Mount Tai.
Therefore, in the eyes of officials from various departments, the Crown Prince's position was very secure!
Regarding the future heir apparent.
The Ministry of Works had no choice but to fawn over them...
The money was disbursed like flowing water.
Precious timber, rare stones, bricks, tiles, and glazed tiles from all over the country were continuously brought to the capital via official roads.
Officials from the Ministry of Works were almost always stationed at the construction site, and thousands of skilled craftsmen and countless laborers were dispatched.
This is a silent declaration, a display of power.
Every inch of the palace walls that rise from the ground, every piece of glazed tile covering them, all demonstrate to the court and the public that the Crown Prince's favor is still intact!
The Empress was also very pleased: "It seems that all the efforts I've made recently have not been in vain!"
This day.
The sunset painted the sky like a beautiful brocade.
study.
"Today, the Sixth Prince promised his wife that they would be together for life!" Qian Yueshu said, fiddling with a potted asparagus fern on the table and chatting casually with the Crown Prince.
She was facing away from Xiao Qingxuan, but her eyes were fixed on his reaction out of the corner of her eye.
But Xiao Qingxuan did not react.
It was as if the Sixth Prince and his wife were insignificant people to him.
He didn't even attend today's wedding.
It's probably because the Sixth Prince and the Crown Prince had such a deep-seated grudge that the Crown Prince was very cold towards the Sixth Prince.
After all, in his previous life, it was this most inconspicuous sixth prince who drove him to the brink of despair, causing Qian Yueshu to die so young...
Having been reborn, Xiao Qingxuan didn't even want to put on a show.
Seeing that Xiao Qingxuan was deliberately pretending to be confused even though he knew the truth!
She deliberately pointed at His Highness the Crown Prince, her tone revealing a barely perceptible probing and expectation: "Your Highness, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
Upon hearing this...
He turned around, his tall figure looming over Qian Yueshu: "Love isn't just something you say!"
"Then I want to hear it!" Qian Yueshu said, quite dissatisfied. "I just want to hear these kinds of sweet nothings."
He suddenly reached out and pulled Qian Yueshu into his arms without saying a word.
His movements were somewhat forceful, carrying the domineering nature inherent in his bones, yet the moment he touched her body, they transformed into an indescribable tenderness.
The Crown Prince lowered his head slightly, his chin gently resting on her soft, fragrant hair, his breath filled with her delicate scent: "How about I tell you about those three years of living like a widow... how did I get through it?"
This almost blasphemous confession is more impactful than any sweet talk.
Qian Yueshu's cheeks instantly flushed, the blush spreading all the way to her ears and the back of her neck.
After a brief silence.
Qian Yueshu raised her head, her gaze stubbornly meeting his unfathomable eyes: "But I want you to say it!"
Seeing that the Crown Prince remained silent.
She softened her voice, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor: "Your Highness, will you give me a lifetime of love and companionship?"
These words, though seemingly light, carry immense weight.
"Here you go!" Xiao Qingxuan then lifted her chin: "But since I've given you such a promise, shouldn't you try to please me?"
“Okay!” Qian Yueshu knelt down as she tried her best to meet the Crown Prince’s needs.
One life, one love, one partner!
He kept that promise!
Even if he ascends the throne, she can still be the most favored concubine!
Such a weighty promise deserves her to use her lips to win it over...
February 26th.
The Awakening of Insects has just passed.
The morning air still carried a chill of early spring.
Last night's light rain washed the bluestone path leading to the temple outside the city wet, making it gleam with a cool light.
Su Zhirou deliberately bumped into Hu Yuxuan on her way to offer incense and pray for a child.
Today is the day she and Xie Jingxing join forces to take action against the Hu family.
soon.
The sixth prince's wife's father and only brother would be sent to prison on various charges.
After all, the Hu family were purely businessmen, and there would inevitably be times when they crossed the line with the imperial court.
For example, they discover salt and gold mines but don't report them and instead start mining them themselves!
For example, hoarding grain, weapons, and guards...
The Hu family may have spent a lot of money in the past to win over many high-ranking officials in the imperial court to help them cover up their wrongdoing.
But these officials were no match for Xie Jingxing.
The Xie family wanted to cause trouble for the Hu family.
Not only is the Hu family no match for them, but even the officials who protected the Hu family have to kneel down and beg for mercy...
She just came to see Hu Yuxuan make a fool of herself.
How smug is the Sixth Imperial Concubine now?
How disappointed will the Sixth Princess Consort be in a few days?
Today, Su Zhirou is here to remember the smug look on the Sixth Imperial Concubine's face.
I'll feel even happier when I see her in a sorry state a few days later!
now.
Su Zhirou stood beside the carriage, wearing a moon-white dress embroidered with silver magnolia patterns.
She appeared to be watching the driver inspect the axle with concern, but out of the corner of her eye, she kept glancing back at the road she had come from.
Today's trip.
She calculated the exact time and the exact route.
She had gone to great lengths to obtain this information from a servant in the Sixth Prince's residence at a high price.
The wheels getting stuck was naturally her doing as well.
She needed a plausible pause, an undeniable "coincidence".
"Sixth Imperial Consort, the Xie family's carriage is ahead. It seems to be broken and blocking the way," the coachman reported.
Hu Yuxuan lifted the curtain and saw a lavishly decorated carriage stopped in the middle of the road, with a woman in a white dress standing beside it.
That woman.
With bright, expressive eyes and a natural air of scholarly refinement, she exudes elegance.
Hu Yuxuan almost immediately guessed her identity—Madam Xie, Su Zhirou.
She was also someone with an ambiguous relationship with the Sixth Prince.
A quick glance of understanding flashed across Hu Yuxuan's eyes.
She took the hand of her maid, gracefully stepped down from the carriage, and walked over with a composed gait, a proper and generous smile blooming on her face.
It seemed to sense her gaze.
Su Zhirou turned her head and looked at her. Their eyes met, and both of them were slightly taken aback.
"Is it Madam Xie?" Hu Yuxuan's voice was clear and melodious, with just the right amount of enthusiasm.
Su Zhirou hadn't expected her to greet her first, and managed to maintain her composure: "Does the Sixth Imperial Consort recognize me?"
"There is a portrait of Sister Su in the Sixth Prince's study, which is extremely lifelike." Hu Yuxuan said frankly, without a trace of jealousy in her eyes, "Sister is indeed as beautiful as in the painting, like a fairy."
Su Zhirou was at a loss for words.
Does the Sixth Prince like her?
