Chapter 64 Moon, I need you to feed me!
On the other side.
As soon as Qian Yueshu came out from the artificial hill, Wang Xi pulled her to the guest room.
She couldn't help but sigh, "This day has been incredibly busy!"
Guest rooms at the Lin residence.
His Highness the Crown Prince was making a scene, shouting, "None of you should touch me, I only want Yue'er."
Until Qian Yueshu was brought over by Wang Xi.
Xiao Qingxuan stopped making a fuss, his drunken eyes brightened, and he hugged her and said coquettishly, "I'm so dizzy... Yue'er, I want you to feed me some hangover soup."
The phrase "I need you to feed me" was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of the several people around who had perked up.
Wang Xi quickly lowered his head, wishing he could shrink into a crack in the ground.
This is not the Eastern Palace, nor is it the Qian residence.
Someone is constantly watching what's going on here.
Even the young masters who were on good terms with the Crown Prince that Wang Xi had just invited were served in this guest room.
When had they ever seen Xiao Qingxuan like this before?
Qian Yueshu was also somewhat embarrassed.
Fortunately, those young noblemen were quite sensible and left after seeing Qian Yueshu.
Even their personal eunuch, Wang Xi, withdrew to guard the door for the two of them.
Qian Yueshu took the bowl and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Xiao Qingxuan leaned against the brocade cushions, his eyes closed, his long eyelashes casting faint shadows beneath them. His handsome face was softened by the wine, yet it also revealed an unyielding stubbornness.
She scooped up a spoonful of soup with a small silver spoon, gently blew on it to cool it, and brought it to his lips.
He obediently opened his mouth, but his eyes slowly opened, staring at her intently.
The bowl of soup was finally emptied.
Qian Yueshu had just put down the empty bowl and was about to get up to call someone in to clean it up when her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a strong force.
The force was immense, carrying an overwhelming power that left no room for escape. She cried out in alarm, and in the blink of an eye, she was completely enveloped by a scorching heat.
With a flip, he easily pinned her down on the soft brocade quilt.
Xiao Qingxuan looked down at her, his eyes glazed with intoxication.
His body was burning hot, and through the thin summer clothes, the astonishing heat was transmitted to her, scalding her skin.
"Yue Shu..." he called softly, his voice hoarse, tinged with the languor of alcohol and a fatal magnetism, "Want to?"
One word, simple and direct, yet it seemed to carry a spark, instantly igniting the surrounding air.
Qian Yueshu was very angry: "Your Highness! You're drunk!"
She turned her head away, avoiding his burning breath.
This isn't because Qian Yueshu is aloof; she wants to as well.
But this is someone else's house.
She is determined to become the Crown Princess in this lifetime.
So you have to think about your reputation!
But how can a drunk person listen to advice?
He leaned down, his burning lips pressing against her slightly cool neck without warning, "But I... just wanted to..."
"If Xiao Qingxuan dares to cause trouble again, you will not be allowed to use my bed for three months."
The man stopped immediately, only holding her tighter: "Then let's leave early... let's go to the Qian residence."
Qian Yueshu sneered.
That scoundrel wasn't actually drunk; he just wanted to sleep with her.
Seven days later.
The Qian family mansion.
"Cousin...Cousin!" A clear voice called from outside the door, interrupting Qian Yueshu's thoughts.
The newcomer was dressed in a light pink dress, with a beautiful face and eyes as clear as autumn water; it was none other than Qian Yueqiu.
She couldn't wait to share with Qian Yueshu: "Cousin...did you know? The Marquis of Huaiyin is dead."
Qian Yueshu's mind stirred.
Did Xie Jingxing really do it?
She couldn't help but glance at her cousin a few more times.
Qian Yueqiu was truly a fool with good fortune; she actually managed to get Xie Jingxing to kill the Marquis of Huaiyin.
This is extremely detrimental to both him and the Xie family.
Someone as intelligent as Xie Jingxing couldn't possibly have missed that.
The Xie family may even face the wrath of the Third Prince.
But in order to take Qian Yueqiu as his concubine, he killed her without hesitation...
As for the agreement with Xie Jingxing that day?
actually.
Without even asking her cousin's opinion, Qian Yueshu already knew the outcome.
Qian Yueqiu fell in love with Xie Jingxing after he rescued her.
She must have been willing to enter the Xie family as a concubine.
However, Qian Yueshu asked again, "Qiu'er, are you willing to become Xie Jingxing's concubine?"
She nodded happily: "Yes!"
Before Qian Yueshu could even say anything...
Qian Yueqiu asked impatiently, "Cousin, when am I going to the Xie residence? I want to sleep with Xie Jingxing, I want to be with her every day."
Hearing this...
Qian Yueshu's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
That curve contained a hint of pity, a hint of mockery...
Perhaps there's also a bittersweet feeling of shared suffering that she herself doesn't want to delve into!
In her previous life, she was just as eager to enter the Eastern Palace.
She passed away peacefully in just five years!
Given my cousin's family background and mental capacity.
If she marries down, I'm afraid that person won't be able to protect her beauty, and I'm even more afraid that he'll take her dowry.
If she marries into a wealthy or influential family, no one will want a mentally challenged matriarch!
In a sense.
Xie Jingxing is the best possible outcome.
His family was a powerful and influential one, his talent and ability were comparable to the Crown Prince's, and even his romantic relationship was with his cousin.
Besides, he had a love for Liu Yu that he could not have.
Marry a man like Xie Jingxing.
Even being a concubine meant having the strongest protection.
The high walls of the Xie residence could not only block out the wind and rain from the outside world, but also keep out the villains inside.
At the Xie residence.
Apart from the matriarch Su Zhirou, at least no one dared to easily bully Xie Jingxing's women.
With Yueqiu's beauty and dowry, she was safe and sound in the Xie family.
Perhaps the only person to be wary of is Su Zhirou.
Qian Yueshu also couldn't figure out Xie Jingxing's attitude towards that person.
She will do her best to be considerate.
She had already tried to sow discord between Xie Jingxing and Su Zhirou.
If he were to become a concubine, Qian Yueshu would give him another warning.
But in the end, you'll definitely have to suffer some injustice!
But nothing in this world is perfect.
If you want to marry the best man, you definitely have to make some sacrifices.
Don't even mention my cousin who's not very bright.
Even with her deep scheming, she still didn't get the position of the legal wife, did she?
Even after living two lives, securing the position of Crown Princess is still incredibly difficult.
If the crown prince ascends the throne in the future.
Even after becoming empress, she still had to fight against the women in the three palaces and six courtyards.
In this world, life is inherently difficult for women.
It is normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines.
If a woman has three husbands and four concubines, she will be condemned as promiscuous and will be drowned in a pig cage.
Even widows cannot easily remarry!
During the Dayong Dynasty, more than half of the widows did not remarry.
They were required to remain chaste, to be faithful to one man until death, and to have memorial arches erected to commemorate their chastity.
The Dayong Dynasty was characterized by strict social norms, with particular emphasis on restricting women.
More than half of widows do not remarry, not because they are unwilling, but because the invisible shackles are too heavy. Remarrying means losing one's chastity, bringing shame upon the family, and facing the pointing fingers and contempt of the world.
How many young widows are left only to live by the side of the ancient Buddha and the dim lamp?
Or perhaps they would spend the rest of their lives in a secluded, cold mansion.
