Chapter 462 Extra - Staying Overnight in Chuyun Palace
Chengqian Hall.
The Crown Prince has already begun assisting with state affairs. He had just finished reviewing the memorials at hand and was rubbing his temples to relieve his emotions when his attendant, Eunuch Qin, brought in a box of pastries.
"Your Highness, these are pastries specially sent by someone from Chuyun Palace. Would you like to try some?"
The Crown Prince was taken aback: "Sent from Chuyun Palace?"
"Yes, it's fresh out of the pot and still hot," Eunuch Qin said with a smile. "I suppose Her Majesty is thinking of your hard work and brought you this little treat to satisfy your cravings."
The prince's lips twitched slightly, but his expression remained aloof, and his tone was nonchalant: "Bring it here."
Eunuch Qin carried the snacks over, carefully placed them on the table, and lifted the lid.
Several golden egg yolk pastries were then presented before my eyes.
The aroma was so enticing that it whetted one's appetite.
The prince picked up a piece and took a bite. The taste was naturally salty and pleasant, but he concealed his joy very well, his expression remaining as indifferent as ever.
Eunuch Qin had been serving him for a long time, so he could naturally tell his mood from the relaxation in his eyes. While pouring him tea, he said something seemingly casually.
"It seems that Your Highness is thinking of His Highness. Knowing that you like to eat this egg yolk pastry, you can see that even the sesame seeds used are your favorite white sesame seeds."
The Crown Prince glanced at him sideways, and Eunuch Qin knew that this was not anger, so he continued to smile and say, "It's because Her Majesty is under house arrest, otherwise she would have come to deliver it in person."
After finishing a salted egg yolk pastry and calmly drinking a cup of tea, the Crown Prince said, "Since she is so willing, let's exempt her from the palace restrictions. Send word that dinner will be at Chuyun Palace."
Eunuch Qin happily agreed: "Yes, this old servant will send someone to deliver the message right away."
His eyes darted around: "So, will you also be staying at Chuyun Palace tonight? According to etiquette, Her Majesty should be staying at Chengqian Palace these past few days..."
The prince tapped his fingertips lightly on the table: "Hmm."
Overjoyed, Eunuch Qin immediately agreed and went out to deliver the message.
...
After Chu Song finished bandaging the wound and got some medicine, he carried it and followed Xiao Die back.
Xiao Die earnestly explained to him, "Chu Song, you should be more polite to A Bao in the future. She is our Empress's favorite cat, and she is the master of our Chu Yun Palace."
Thinking of that spoiled and arrogant cat, Chu Song's anger flared up: "Who sent that thing to Qing... to the Empress?"
"We found it in our garden," Xiaodie explained. "That cat seems to have a special connection with our Empress. She gets happy whenever she sees it."
Chu Song pursed her lips, her eyes and brows filled with disdain.
It's just a cat!
Why did Qingqing think it was her Ayan?
He is the one!
Even though he has a different face, can't Qingqing see the deep affection in his eyes and brows?
How could you mistake a cat for him?
Unfortunately, he couldn't say a word. If he revealed even a single word, he would be immediately banished from this world, and then he wouldn't be able to protect Qingqing.
We can only endure it.
Chu Song let out a long sigh.
I just hope to complete the task as soon as possible.
If the so-called crown prince and the female lead are together, he and Qingqing will be free.
Chu Song had no idea that upon entering, he would see busy palace servants and festive red lanterns, as if some joyous occasion was about to occur in Chuyun Palace.
Xiao Die, also quite surprised, stopped a palace servant: "What's going on?"
The palace maid curtsied to Xiaodie, her face beaming with joy: "Sister Xiaodie, the Crown Prince has sent word that the Empress's palace confinement has been lifted, and she will be having dinner at Chuyun Palace tonight, staying at the Empress's place."
Upon hearing the news, Xiaodie's face lit up with joy, and she quickly lifted her skirt and hurried toward the main hall.
Chu Song stood there dumbfounded, clutching the medicinal herbs tightly in his palm.
