"Hehe~"
On November 22nd, at four quarters past morning, the sound of Xiaobai imitating a hen crowing was heard from the direction of Yixia Garden in the East Palace.
In the east wing of Xicuiyuan, in Meng Haoling's dormitory, Hua Qingcheng, who was sitting in front of the Bailing platform with one hand supporting her forehead and her eyes closed, also slowly woke up.
Hua Qingcheng took out a dagger from the space, unsheathed it with a "swish", and walked towards Meng Haoling's bed with the dagger in her hand.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
As soon as Meng Haoling opened his eyes, he saw Hua Qingcheng coming towards him with a dagger that was shining with a cold light, and he was horrified.
"Noisy!"
"Shut up, you idiot!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Haoling immediately covered his mouth tightly with both hands, fearing that Hua Qingcheng would "silence" him if he made any sound.
After pulling out a white brocade handkerchief from under Meng Haoling's pillow, Hua Qingcheng pulled up the sleeve of her left hand and gently slashed her forearm with the dagger. The dagger, which could cut through iron like mud, immediately made a small cut on Hua Qingcheng's forearm, and bright red blood immediately emerged.
After dripping a few drops of blood onto the white brocade handkerchief, Hua Qingcheng threw it at Meng Haoling's face. She put away her dagger and sat down in front of the Bailing platform. She sprinkled the Yunnan Baiyao she had just taken out, wrapped it with gauze, and then pulled down her sleeves.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Meng Haoling, who was sleeping in his clothes, holding a Yuanpa, stood up from the bed and came to Hua Qingcheng. However, his clear eyes were full of confusion. There was a tuft of hair on his head that stood up, which made him look very cute.
"This is a Yuanpa, used to verify your virginity. When you go to pay your respects to the Crown Princess, remember to give it to him in front of everyone for inspection. Do you understand?"
Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but raise her hand and poke Meng Haoling's slightly chubby face. It was soft and felt great. It sank in as soon as she pressed, and returned to its original shape as soon as she let go. Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but feel happy at this, and then she poked it a few more times.
"ah?!"
Meng Haoling's fair, young, handsome face flushed bright red upon hearing this. Although Meng Haoling was still a virgin, before entering the palace, a tutor had come to the Meng residence to teach him how to serve his wife. Recalling the scenes described by the tutor, Meng Haoling's fair, handsome face flushed like a boiled shrimp.
"Then... the second young master of the Si family, could he... could he also be..."
Meng Haoling's bright eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Hua Qingcheng in disbelief.
"Don't you want to have sex with me? Since you took a snake palm strike for me, I will grant your wish."
Hua Qingcheng's words were ambiguous, but her eyes suddenly turned cold. She pressed Meng Haoling's back against the Bailing Platform, then stepped forward, lightly lifted Meng Haoling's chin, and continued condescendingly, "Of course, if you want to do the same as Si Lingyun, I can treat you the same way..."
Hua Qingcheng leaned down, pretending to kiss Meng Haoling on the face. With her holding him, Meng Haoling, wrapped in her arms, quickly thought of Si Lingyun limping. Then he closed his eyes tightly, his whole body trembling slightly.
The father-in-law who raised him said that it is very painful for a man to lose his virginity, and Meng Haoling was immediately frightened.
"mock up!"
Seeing that she had frightened the child, Hua Qingcheng was afraid that it would leave a psychological shadow on Meng Haoling and affect his future married life. She patted Meng Haoling's face and said in feigned anger, "If you don't want me to make this real, then be a good boy! This matter is known to heaven and earth, you and I know it, so don't say too much!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Haoling covered his mouth with both hands and nodded desperately.
"Okay, I should get ready to go to the Imperial College now. You can sleep a little longer before going to Lingkun Court to pay your respects to the Crown Princess." Hua Qingcheng raised her hand and pinched Meng Haoling's face again, then walked out of the room with the Yaoqin in her arms.
Last night, she only had water delivered three times. After all, Meng Haoling wasn't old enough to do anything too extreme. As before, she added low-foaming, fragrance-free shower gel to the water to prevent the eunuchs from inspecting her.
Hua Qingcheng decided that when she came to power, she would arrange a new identity for Meng Haoling, acknowledge this lovely brother as her own, and then choose a suitable match for him...
Meng Haoling didn't know that with his cute appearance and innocence and kindness, he had become the future "uncle of the king" of Laifeng Kingdom, just like Hua Qingguo, the unborn baby in Hua Fu's belly.
At six quarters past the hour of Mao, Hua Qingcheng and Wu Chen boarded the carriage to the Imperial College on time.
On the wedding night of Hua Qingcheng and Si Lingyun, Wu Chen, who had followed them in anger and secretly observed them, had already known Hua Qingcheng's secret. Therefore, Wu Chen didn't care at all about Hua Qingcheng's "favoring" those men in Xicuiyuan. He was in a good mood and hugged Hua Qingcheng all the way, flirting with her.
At two o'clock in the morning, except for Wu Chen, all the servants of Hua Qingcheng gathered in Lingkun Courtyard to pay their respects to Mu Lige.
"Greetings to the Crown Princess!"
"No need to be polite."
Mu Lige, who was sitting at the head of the hall, raised his hand to support the servants who were bowing to him.
Mu Lige only took a look at the Yuanpa handed over by Meng Haoling and asked him to take it and keep it for inspection in the Jingshifang. He also told Meng Haoling to have a good rest and didn't say anything more to him.
Si Lingyun glanced at Meng Haoling and smiled slightly. He had heard that the palace servants had only delivered three loads of water to Meng Haoling's door last night, not even half the strength he possessed. How could this Meng family kid be his match?
As for Si Chengfeng, who sat below Mu Lige, he glanced at Si Lingyun, who sat across from him and slightly below him. His expressionless face showed no sign of emotion. He could accept other men being affectionate with Hua Qingcheng, but not Si Lingyun...
In fact, it wasn't that Hua Qingcheng didn't want to explain to Si Chengfeng, but she had been closely watched by the emperor's people recently. Before completing the "rain and dew are evenly distributed" mission, she could only put Si Chengfeng in a difficult position.
That night, at three o'clock in the evening, Hua Qingcheng once again came to Xicuiyuan with her zither in her arms. This time, she went to the room of Chu Kangyi, known as Young Master Chu.
"Your Highness, you are finally here..."
Chu Kangyi, who was handsome and elegant, was wearing a dark green Taoist robe with auspicious cloud patterns. He was sitting solemnly in front of the Bailing platform. He turned his head with a serious expression to look at Hua Qingcheng who pushed the door open and walked towards him with a jade harp in her hand.
Chu Kangyi's alert look made him look like a swordsman who had arrived at the duel location first, waiting for his opponent to arrive...
