Chapter 519 No matter how big the matter is, I can’t let my Yue’er starve
Jingfeng Pavilion
The maid stumbled in and knelt on the ground, her voice still trembling with fear: "Your servant...your servant pays homage to the Empress Dowager!"
The Queen Mother slowly and attentively fiddled with the jade Buddhist beads on her wrist, not even raising her eyelids. Her tone was indifferent: "Didn't I tell you to go to the main courtyard and 'watch'? Why are you back?"
"I...I was discovered by the guards around the prince," the maid's voice was as thin as a mosquito, with tears in her eyes. "He said...he said the main courtyard was not a place for me to go, and told me to get out immediately..."
The Queen Mother's fingers, fiddling with her Buddhist beads, suddenly paused. She raised her eyes, her sharp gaze piercing the trembling palace maid on the ground like a needle: "Where is Mo Liyuan? Has he left the main courtyard?"
"Reply... Reply to the Queen Mother, I... I didn't see the prince come out..." The palace maid's voice became smaller and smaller.
"Bang!" The Queen Mother slammed her palm heavily on the rosewood table beside her, causing the teacups to jingle violently! Her well-maintained face was instantly covered with frost, and her voice rose with anger: "Good! Very good! I think he has really been bewitched by that enchantress Lan Xiyue! After returning home, he didn't do his business, but has been hanging around in the main courtyard! It's already the evening hour, and the sun has already set. This Lan Xiyue is a disaster that brings disaster to the country and the people!"
The old nanny standing by sighed inwardly. If it were in the past, the empress dowager would have smiled from ear to ear to see how loving the prince and princess were, praising the princess for being blessed and the prince for knowing how to care for others.
But ever since that incident, the Queen Mother's attitude towards the princess has completely reversed. Now she is dissatisfied with everything she sees, and even the love between the young couple has become a sin.
The Queen Mother's chest heaved, and she was obviously very angry. She glanced coldly at the eunuch standing beside her: "Little Xizi!"
"I'm here." Xiao Xizi bowed quickly.
"Go! Tell me to go to the main courtyard and tell me!" The Queen Mother's voice was full of unquestionable command. "Tell Mo Liyuan to come to Jingfeng Pavilion to accompany me for dinner!"
"Yes!" Xiao Xizi responded respectfully, and with his lowered eyes he quickly winked at the palace maid who was still kneeling on the ground.
The palace maid was as if she had been pardoned. She kowtowed quickly, bent her body, and followed Xiao Xizi almost using her hands and feet, quietly leaving the depressing hall.
Only the trusted maid was left in the hall. The old maid carefully brought a cup of freshly brewed tea and approached the Queen Mother, whispering soothingly, "Queen Mother, please calm down. Don't let your anger damage your health. The prince... maybe he's just a new father, and he's overjoyed, so he's spending more time with the princess. Once the novelty wears off, he'll naturally understand what's important."
The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Go to the kitchen and watch over the dinner carefully. Don't make any mistakes."
"Yes, I'll go right away." The nanny standing by responded with lowered eyebrows and silently left the warm but somewhat depressing inner hall of Jingfeng Pavilion.
At the same time, outside the main courtyard corridor.
As Xiao Xizi stepped into the moon-shaped gate of the main courtyard, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky like a ghost blending into the night and landed steadily one step in front of him.
"Oh my God!" Xiao Xizi shuddered with fear and took several steps back. He clutched his pounding chest with his skinny hands, nearly dropping his whisk. After seeing who was coming, he patted his chest and gasped, "Guard Tianyi! You... your elusive skills are really frightening this old slave!"
Tian Yi stood with his arms folded, his tight-fitting clothes outlining his neat figure. He raised his thick black eyebrows and said in a low and calm voice: "Eunuch Xi has come to the main courtyard now, but what instructions does the Empress Dowager have?"
Xiao Xizi gathered herself together, shook the snow-white whisk in her hand, and spoke in a shrill, respectful voice, "Oh, that's what happened. The Empress Dowager just returned from Huguo Temple today and has been thinking of you, Prince. So, she sent this old servant to pass on a message, asking you to move to Jingfeng Pavilion to have dinner with her so that you can spend some time together."
Upon hearing this, Tianyi's handsome brows frowned slightly: "Only the master was invited? Where is the princess?" There was a barely perceptible inquiry in his tone.
Xiao Xizi's face suddenly showed some embarrassment, and he rubbed his hands: "Ah? This... Oh my, the Queen Mother... She, she didn't mention the Princess..." He hesitated, his eyes flickering, and his unspoken meaning was self-evident.
Tian Yi's eyes darkened as he understood. He nodded slightly, his tone returning to his usual calm, "I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Xi. I will report to you as soon as the master comes out."
Xiao Xizi was as if pardoned. He nodded and bowed hurriedly, holding his whisk and taking small steps, almost escaping as he disappeared into the night outside the courtyard gate.
In the inner room of the main house, the warm tent is hung low.
Lan Xiyue woke up slowly, her whole body feeling sore as if it had been taken apart.
She opened her hazy eyes, and what came into view was Mo Liyuan's handsome and incomparably satisfied face.
Thinking of today's absurdity and intensity, she became furious and glared at him fiercely. "This guy is simply not a human!" He had amazing physical strength and endless tricks, tormenting her until numbness and fatigue permeated her bones.
Mo Liyuan stared at her with eyes as deep as a dark pool, his thin lips raised in pleasure, outlining an evil arc, and his low voice was filled with laziness and complacency afterwards: "Yuer, if you look at me with such eyes again... I will think that I was not satisfied enough just now. Yueer... do you want more?" His fingertips were covered with thin calluses, and he gently stroked the ambiguous red marks on her smooth shoulders.
"Hmph!" Lan Xiyue snorted in anger and dodged his fingers. However, her stomach growled at an inopportune moment, and she said confidently, "I'm hungry!"
I couldn’t go out for lunch, so I had it in the space.
At this moment, it was dark outside the window, and the lights were on. Her waist was sore and swollen, as if it was going to be broken by this insatiable man in the next moment. It was really... hateful!
Mo Liyuan chuckled softly, his chest shaking slightly, and said with a doting tone: "Okay, it was my fault for neglecting it. I will take my Yue'er to dinner right away. No matter how serious the matter is, I can't let my Yue'er go hungry."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned over and got off the bed nimbly, his sturdy body moving smoothly and powerfully in the dim light.
He walked to the rosewood carved wardrobe, took out a brand new smoky-colored brocade dress, returned to the bedside, and personally helped Lan Xiyue get dressed.
Lan Xiyue felt so weak all over that she was too lazy to even move her fingertips. She simply didn't bother to be polite to him and let him do whatever he wanted.
His movements were gentle but familiar as he tied the complicated belt for her and adjusted the hem of her skirt. Every slight touch made her heart tremble slightly.
After getting dressed neatly, Mo Liyuan took her hand, clasped their fingers together, and walked out of the room together with unquestionable strength.
