Chapter 36 Be a good girl, Moon, lean against the window!
This lifetime.
The Crown Prince did treat her differently than he had in her previous life.
More leniency, less criticism.
But can that erase the cold treatment and humiliation he inflicted on me in my previous life?
That will make her forget.
How did he punish Liu Yu for neglecting her?
The immense grievances and resentment accumulated over two lifetimes finally erupted at this moment.
Her eyes were red-rimmed, and her voice was choked with sobs and accusation: "Have you forgotten that in my past life, I did something similar? How did you treat me then?"
How should I treat you?
The man leaned close to her, almost touching her earlobe, and said in a deep, seductive voice, "I just said one thing, like, 'Let me lean out the window'?"
Xiao Qingxuan also remembered this incident.
At that time, Qian Yueshu and Liu Yu were vying for each other's affections.
In addition, his good friend Xiao Li always spoke up for Liu Yu.
Therefore, Qian Yueshu deliberately framed Liu Yu and Xiao Li for having an affair.
Even if Qian Yueshu's methods of framing were too clumsy.
He still reprimanded Liu Yu and parted ways with his good friend Xiao Li.
Qian Yueshu clearly had the upper hand!
When Liu Yu came to the East Palace to explain to him.
Qian Yueshu even deliberately tried to seduce him in front of the window of the East Palace study.
She deliberately left the window open so that Liu Yu could see their shameful act.
Then Liu Yu ran away crying...
At that time, he said, "Qian Yueshu, you stay by the window for an hour."
She then lay there for about fifteen minutes.
I never expected to remember this until now...
In fact, Xiao Qingxuan also felt that he was quite wronged.
In my previous life.
After all, he and Liu Yu were acquainted first.
He was the one who confessed his feelings to Liu Yu first, and then the emperor bestowed a marriage upon him. It's only natural that he would protect Liu Yu, his fiancée!
But Qian Yueshu always seemed to be at odds with Liu Yu.
Despite being a concubine, she was restless and dared to dream of the treatment of a principal wife!
Xiao Qingxuan truly felt that he had given her all his affection in private.
That's why he wanted to give Liu Yu, his legal wife, a respectable appearance in front of outsiders.
But Qian Yueshu just had to make trouble for herself!
To put it bluntly.
In her previous life, Qian Yueshu was merely a pawn on the power chessboard.
At first, Xiao Qingxuan didn't take her seriously.
He even found Qian Yueshu somewhat despicable; seemingly harmless, she harbored astonishing ambition and scheming.
A banquet held at the Qian residence.
He had only drunk a few extra cups of wine and was helped to a side hall to rest when Qian Yueshu "happened" to bring him some hangover soup.
Her maidservant "coincidentally" attracted so many people to witness their entangled scene.
With everyone watching, he was speechless and had no choice but to bring her into the mansion.
On the day he entered the mansion, he clearly didn't want to touch her.
Qian Yueshu insisted on toasting him with the wine she had "prepared".
As a result, he rolled over and pinned her down, his movements rough and urgent.
That night.
The red candles have burned out, but the warm tent remains for the spring night!
Later, Qian Yueshu would cling to him day and night.
...She tugged at his arm and said coquettishly, "Your Highness, please talk to Yue'er."
...She hugged him from behind: "Your Highness, Yue'er just wants to stay with you in the study."
...She ran to his bedroom: "Your Highness, Yue Shu can't sleep. Can you hold me?"
Qian Yueshu's demands became more and more numerous and excessive.
If Xiao Qingxuan refuses.
She then tearfully told him that he no longer loved her.
If you agree, she will take advantage of you.
"...Your Highness, if you're going to see Liu Yu, I won't eat!"
"...Your Highness, if you go to see Liu Yu, don't even think about getting into my bed tonight."
"Your Highness, please go see Liu Yu. I just have a chest pain; I'm not dying."
Every time she uttered the word "death".
He was terrified.
Even though he knew she was deliberately tormenting him, he was still willing to indulge her.
In conclusion.
Qian Yueshu always found various reasons to prevent him from seeing Liu Yu.
Sometimes, when Xiao Qingxuan got so angry with Qian Yueshu, he wouldn't go to her room for days.
She would come to his study late at night wearing only a thin veil and ask, "Is Your Highness still angry with Yue Shu?"
She knelt at his feet, resting her head on his knees, her posture humble as dust.
Xiao Qingxuan ignored her.
She then got up and sat on his lap, her slender hands slipping inside his shirt...
Gradually.
Xiao Qingxuan found himself developing a dependence on and possessiveness towards Qian Yueshu.
Not only physically, but also psychologically.
He fell in love with her, and his love was so passionate!
Everyone in the capital knows how much Crown Prince Xiao Qingxuan loves a woman named Qian Yueshu. As the heir apparent, he's already over twenty years old, and she's the only woman he has.
He loved his concubine so much that he neglected his wife.
Because of his concubine Qian Yueshu, he kept delaying the arrival of his fiancée Liu Yu into the mansion, and even allowed Qian Yueshu to give birth to his eldest son by a concubine.
He loved her so much that he killed for her.
Under pressure to seize the throne, Prime Minister Liu and Liu Yu relentlessly pressured him to bring Liu Yu into the Eastern Palace. Qian Yueshu plotted to stop this by killing Liu Yu's biological mother, and he was an accomplice in doing so.
As for the "punishments" he gave Qian Yueshu.
Even now, when Xiao Qingxuan thinks back on it, he still feels that it was not a punishment at all, but rather another form of spoiling.
Every time she "did something wrong".
How could he bear to really punish her severely?
Xiao Qingxuan never punished her by confining her to her quarters.
They never penalized her for deducting her salary.
There was no punishment like hitting her with a board or anything like that...
His way of "punishing" her was nothing more than a stern face: "From today onwards, Yue Shu, you shall study music, chess, calligraphy and painting properly. If you do not make any progress, you shall not be allowed to come out and cause trouble."
In Xiao Qingxuan's view, this was hardly a punishment.
This is clearly the ultimate form of pampering.
Music, chess, calligraphy, and painting—which of these is not an elegant pursuit?
Which of these is not a daily etiquette that prominent noble ladies in the capital must learn from a young age?
Sending Qian Yueshu to learn these things is an honor for her, and it is hoped that she will become a truly dignified and elegant woman.
Qian Yueshu didn't understand at all.
He made her learn these things in order to train her to become a true matriarch.
In my previous life.
He then conceived the idea of having her replace Liu Yu as the Crown Princess!
The recollection ends.
Right now, even if Xiao Qingxuan feels he is not wrong.
But he still patiently coaxed, "Okay, it was all my fault before. I shouldn't have punished you by making you lie on the window."
"Then how are you going to compensate me?" Qian Yueshu said, feigning innocence despite having gotten the benefit.
"What kind of compensation do you want?" Xiao Qingxuan raised an eyebrow.
"So, as punishment, you'll also have to lie on the window frame?"
"This isn't a good idea!" Xiao Qingxuan glanced at the window of the seven-story pavilion.
The night wind slipped in through the cracks in the window, carrying the chill unique to high places.
How can this be considered punishment?
That's practically risking your life.
"I don't want to, so I'll punish you by making you stand by the window." Qian Yueshu grinned mischievously.
"Moon, please spare me!" he blurted out.
He punished her by making her lie down by the window, which was on the first floor; the study window wasn't high.
But now it's a private room on the seventh floor.
Qian Yueshu took in his fleeting embarrassment, and the curve of her lips deepened: "It's okay if you don't lie down."
Qian Yueshu approached him step by step.
As he looked into the light in her eyes, a vague sense of foreboding rose in his heart.
really.
The next second, she tiptoed, her soft lips almost touching his earlobe: "Why don't we try it, by the window..."
