Chapter 37 Your honey is my poison!
What follows.
She didn't need to finish speaking.
That meaningful look in her eyes, that blushing cheeks, said it all.
This is an extremely bold, even outrageous, proposal.
On this high pavilion.
By this window, where there is no shade.
There are even eyes looking up from downstairs at any time...
After all, Mingyue Tower is a restaurant, so there are a lot of people coming and going!
Xiao Qingxuan's brows furrowed instantly, and he objected almost reflexively: "No way!"
Qian Yueshu pouted.
The man's voice carried a hint of coaxing: "Sweetie, it's so high up, what if someone sees us?"
Restrain yourself and return to propriety; do not look at what is improper, do not speak what is improper, and do not do what is improper.
These are teachings etched into our very bones.
At this moment, it kept lingering in Xiao Qingxuan's mind.
He is the crown prince, a role model for all his subjects. How could he be so...so reckless and absurd?
The man's rejection seemed to have been exactly what Qian Yueshu had anticipated.
"Hmph," she snorted coldly, turned her face away, and refused to look at him again.
"Don't be ridiculous!" the man coaxed patiently. "If you really want to, how about we go home right now?"
“I know that His Highness the Crown Prince should be self-disciplined and follow the proper etiquette. I’ve been dissolute, haven’t I?” Qian Yueshu’s tone was chilling, each word like an icicle hitting the ground.
The word "debauchery" was like a dagger chilled to ice, mercilessly piercing the softest part of Xiao Qingxuan's heart.
How could she... how could she belittle herself like that?
How could he use such despicable words to describe how she appeared in his heart?
Or perhaps...
Is she using this extreme method to mock his inescapable shackles as the crown prince, and to mock his constant pretense?
To hell with the rules!
To hell with decorum!
To hell with the "do not touch" rule!
At this moment.
Xiao Qingxuan no longer wanted to be the Crown Prince Xiao Qingxuan, who was suffocated by countless rules and regulations.
He only wanted to be Qian Yueshu's man!
I just want to use the most direct and primal way to shut her lips that are about to utter hurtful words!
He suddenly reached out and grabbed Qian Yueshu's slender wrist.
The force was immense.
The sudden pain even made Qian Yueshu gasp slightly, her delicate brows furrowing.
Before she could react, or even before the gasp had completely subsided.
Xiao Qingxuan shoved Qian Yueshu hard against the window that symbolized taboo and danger!
"Bang—" Her back slammed against the intricately carved rosewood window frame without any cushioning, producing a dull thud.
The cool touch penetrated her thin summer shirt and instantly spread throughout her body.
But there was no time for her to react.
Xiao Qingxuan couldn't wait to kiss him...
A muffled sob escaped Qian Yueshu's lips.
An hour later, the two finally stopped.
Although Xiao Qingxuan did not say a word during this process.
He wouldn't even give her a glance.
But Qian Yueshu knew.
Xiao Qingxuan absolutely loved that indulgence just now!
Of course, he also spoiled her more and more.
whee!
Qian Yueshu felt that she had won again.
She wanted to do everything she hadn't done in her previous life.
To be precise.
She did everything he wanted to do, things he didn't!
Only in this way can it be proven that the crown prince has completely submitted to her.
The man rested his head on Qian Yueshu's shoulder, still not recovered from the farce that had just happened.
Or perhaps he simply doesn't want to be sober.
Time flies!
Another two weeks passed quickly.
Logically speaking...
This point in time.
The Empress is about to begin preparing to select a Crown Princess for Xiao Qingxuan.
After all, choosing a crown princess is no small matter; preparations must begin a month or more in advance.
For example, preparing invitations to the daughters of various noble families.
For example, having the palace staff prepare items needed for the Hundred Flowers Banquet...
But the Empress has remained completely silent this year.
Xiao Qingxuan said, "I don't plan to choose a concubine this year!"
"Why?"
The man raised an eyebrow: "What else could it be? Of course, it's because your family background isn't good enough to make you the Crown Princess."
Qian Yueshu was secretly overjoyed.
She knew the Crown Prince was plotting something for her!
But she still had to add a sarcastic remark: "Your Highness, you just dislike me!"
Xiao Qingxuan had no choice but to coax him again.
whee.
Since being reborn.
Qian Yueshu felt like she was being pampered to the extreme by His Highness the Crown Prince.
She doesn't need to compete for favor, doesn't need to please others, and doesn't need to hurt herself.
Everything I've ever thought...
Her Crown Prince would do it all for her!
In her previous life, she seemed to be very favored, but she actually suffered a lot of grievances and humiliation.
At banquets, she was always overshadowed by Crown Princess Liu Yu.
Although the Crown Prince gave her exclusive favor in the Eastern Palace.
But she also had to be calculating and deliberately flattering.
Sometimes, in order to win favor, they had to get caught in the rain or take a cold shower.
Moreover, she had to be punished by the Crown Prince from time to time.
Of course, in the Crown Prince's view, punishing her by making her play music, chess, calligraphy, and painting was not punishment, but love!
But for someone as free-spirited and independent as Qian Yueshu...
Music, chess, calligraphy, and painting were her prison.
There's a saying: "What's honey to you is poison to me!"
Qian Yueshu really didn't like those overly literary things.
Born into the Qian family, she had to learn martial arts and the identification of various poisons from a young age, and even had to know a little about medicine.
After all, wealthy people are often taken advantage of, so they need to have the ability to protect themselves!
Moreover, she has to do accounting and bookkeeping all day long, so where would she find the time to learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting?
Qian Yueshu didn't like those things either.
From a young age, she was skilled at managing accounts and preparing various poisons and sedatives.
Therefore, she is more suited to the martial arts world.
The palace intrigues, as well as the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, were neither his forte nor his passion.
Therefore, the punishments given by the Crown Prince were all acts of "love".
For her, it really was a punishment!
I truly hope that I can be happy forever in this life.
It's highly likely that the Hundred Flowers Banquet will not be held again.
She doesn't need to worry about that.
The most important thing next is the flood disaster.
Qian Yueshu felt that if she took out all the grain she had stored during the flood, she would definitely be impeached by those with ulterior motives.
Or be coveted by others!
After all, in her previous life she had no involvement with the palace.
They have all received considerable criticism.
Now that you're involved with the palace, you need to be even more careful and avoid leaving any evidence against you.
So she made preparations in advance.
Qian Yueshu decided to start doing charity work from now on, distributing porridge and steamed buns every day to show that the Qian family has always been so loving.
We can then take out a large sum of grain, which will be more open and aboveboard.
After all, she has always been doing charity work.
Therefore, it is appropriate to buy more food.
Because it was just for show, the daily acts of kindness were extremely perfunctory.
It consisted of a bowl of mixed grain porridge and a cornbread bun for each person.
Some beggars wouldn't even want something this rough.
After all, this is the capital city.
Even beggars often get to eat the leftovers of the wealthy.
Whenever wealthy families do charity, they always give white flour steamed buns or meat buns.
People like Qian Yueshu do charity work.
For the wealthy families in the capital, this was truly beneath their dignity!
Even Xiao Qingxuan looked puzzled: "There's still some time before the disaster strikes, isn't it a bit too early to start distributing porridge now?"
"The Qian family has always been charitable and generous. What's wrong with making preparations in advance?"
Xiao Qingxuan's lips twitched.
He hadn't forgotten how the Qian family profited from the national crisis in his previous life.
