Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Shangguan Qingyue never had the chance to see Xuanyuan Yan in person because that night, the emperor ordered all the imperial doctors to go to his courtyard for a consultation.

At that time, there were many people talking, and the news that the third prince's calf injury was very likely to be incurable spread quickly. The biggest characteristic of rumors is that they become more and more outrageous as they spread, until they are completely unrecognizable.

Finally, almost everyone heard that the Third Prince was lame...

The emperor was furious and severely reprimanded all the imperial doctors. He then ordered people to investigate where this ridiculous rumor came from. However, after much investigation, they still came to no avail.

If we want to stop the rumors at this time, the best way is to let the third prince, uh, take a few steps in public. Unfortunately, his calf bones were injured, and he might not be able to walk normally in two or three months.

Even though the emperor issued a death order, it failed to stop the rumor from spreading in all directions. Xuanyuan Chen, who stayed in the prince's mansion to mourn for his mother, soon got the news.

If this were true... whenever he thought about it, he wished he could drink all day and all night long!

A blessing in disguise! The ancients were right!

He immediately called the secret guard and ordered:

"Rush to the Imperial Hunting Grounds outside Beijing as quickly as possible. I want to get the most authentic news. Is my good third brother really lame?"

The secret guard bowed and soon disappeared.

The entire Fifth Prince's Mansion was finally filled with laughter and joy, having swept away the gloom of the past few days. In contrast, the Shangguan Family was in a state of gloom and sorrow.

It’s simple, their precious daughter is going to follow someone else!

The course of events was very simple. Baili Nanqing finally found an opportunity to meet Xuanyuan Yan accompanied by her husband and her little daughter.

Seeing the Third Prince sitting on a chair and being carried to the reception room by the guards, the couple thanked him repeatedly with guilty looks on their faces, and said that they would come to express their gratitude again with rich gifts after returning home.

Xuanyuan Yan just waved his hand lightly and said:

"Madam Shangguan, there is no need for this. I have everything I need. If you sincerely want to thank me for saving your daughter, you can let her come to my house and take care of me in person for three months. Otherwise, forget it, and let this matter be forgotten. There is no need to mention it again."

As soon as he said this, it was like a thunderclap exploding in the sky, and everyone at the scene was stunned. Was it an auditory hallucination? It had to be, right?

How could the high and mighty Third Prince come up with such an irrelevant way of expressing gratitude?

Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Three months, this... isn't this too long? ! !

Seeing that Baili Nanqing remained silent for a long time, Xuanyuan Yan showed disappointment on his face.

"It seems that you are unwilling, so forget it. Qingyi, please send Shangguan and his family out for me." After that, he signaled Xuansi to carry him back to the dormitory.

"Wait! Your Highness, I can agree to this. But, isn't this unreasonable? The Imperial Concubine..."

Shangguan Qingyue didn't mind the separation between men and women, not to mention that Xuanyuan Yan lived in their house when they were in Xiangxue Village, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. As for how the world would look at her, she didn't care at all.

She was only worried that the imperial concubine would come up with some tricks to obstruct her. She just wanted to stay away from people she couldn't afford to offend!

Baili Nanqing almost cried out in surprise, but was quickly stopped by Shangguan Chong.

"Your Highness saved Yue'er despite his leg injury, and we must repay his kindness. Since Your Highness has made a request, and it is within our capabilities, we should agree to it."

He took Baili Nanqing's hand and held it tightly. They had been married for nearly twenty years and they had a tacit understanding. At this moment, they didn't need to say anything more, they could understand each other's feelings.

Seeing her husband's firm attitude, Baili Nanqing finally stopped struggling, sighed and said:

"As long as there are no problems on His Highness' side, we will agree to this matter. Yue'er is a child who has always been thorough in doing things, so I have nothing to worry about."

Xuanyuan Yan curled his lips slightly, and then said solemnly:

"Of course, I have the final say on matters in my house, so you two can rest assured."

He looked at Shangguan Qingyue again and said softly:

"Ayue, pack your bags today and we will set off for home tomorrow.

In order to prevent you from breaking your promise to Black Wolf, I will have someone bring him back to your house later. Although he is wild, he is very attached to you. "

Shangguan Qingyue nodded happily and the matter was settled.

……

The next day, when Imperial Concubine Jing learned that Shangguan Qingyue was going to return home with her son, she made a scene as expected. However, she was unable to persuade Xuanyuan Yan to give in, despite her many persuasion.

In extreme rage, she went to the emperor to cry and complain, but was turned away unexpectedly.

The emperor did not see her, but sent his eunuch to reply to her:

"The Emperor already knew yesterday that the Third Prince was planning to bring Miss Shangguan back home.

His Majesty said: The Third Prince is almost coming of age, it is time for you to let go. If you have the final say in everything, wouldn't the prince become a puppet? "

The eunuch relayed the emperor's words to Concubine Jing word for word, with a layer of sweat on his forehead. He said it so ruthlessly, and he didn't know if the Concubine would take it out on him.

Imperial Concubine Jing had been used to smooth sailing over the years, and had never suffered such a setback. She felt a blockage in her chest, and fainted without being able to breathe.

The eunuch was obviously used to it. He didn't even raise an eyebrow from beginning to end. He just calmly ordered the servants to send the imperial concubine back to her own courtyard and invited the imperial physician to treat her.

In this palace, the concubines used all kinds of strange tricks to attract the emperor's attention, and his heart had long been hardened into stone.

The crowd watching the fun saw that Imperial Concubine Jing couldn't do anything to the Third Prince and knew that the matter was a done deal.

I just can't understand how the second Miss Shangguan, who has ordinary looks, ordinary talents and is ordinary in every way, could win the favor of the Third Prince?

It seems that the third prince, who has never been interested in women, has finally come to his senses, but his vision of people is really average!

Wang Shuhua was also in the crowd. For some reason, she did not feel sad or angry, but rather relieved.

At this point, it’s time for her mother to give up on her wish for her daughter to become a successful person.

However, Nan Rongshu did not seem to have any intention of giving up. Her eyes were sinister and fierce, staring at the Third Prince's carriage as it drove away.

She kept comforting herself in her heart: It's nothing, it's just a maid to warm the bed! As long as her Huaer can become the third prince's consort, these cats and dogs can be saved and dealt with in the future.

However, what worries her most is the Third Prince's legs. What if he is really lame? ! !

……

The carriage was isolated from all the disturbances of the outside world, quiet and comfortable. Xuanyuan Yan and Shangguan Qingyue were sitting in the huge carriage. On the low table in the middle was a copper stove with a charcoal fire burning brightly.

Not only was there no smell of smoke from the charcoal fire, but a faint woody fragrance could be smelled. Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but shrug her nose vigorously, looking cute and funny.

Xuanyuan Yan was originally sitting quietly with his eyes closed, but when he heard a subtle sound, he slightly opened his eyes to look, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"But you can't get used to the smell of burning charcoal?"

The little girl shook her head vigorously and asked embarrassedly:

"Sir, I wonder what kind of charcoal this is, but the smell is so refreshing, I think it must be worth a lot!"

Xuanyuan Yan's face suddenly turned cold, and his tone was filled with dissatisfaction.

"Didn't I tell you a long time ago that after you come to the capital, you can no longer call me 'sir'? Little girl, are you turning a deaf ear to my words?"

Shangguan Qingyue held her lips tightly and dared not refute. Didn't she always call him that before today? Why didn't he get angry then? She could only sit upright and answer respectfully:

"I have overstepped the bounds. I beg Your Highness the Third Prince to forgive me."

Hearing her speaking to him in this tone, Xuanyuan Yan became even more annoyed and snorted:

"Humph, if you want to stay with me like this for three months, then be prepared to not change your mind. Otherwise, I won't let you go home after three months and you will be my maid for the rest of your life!"

Shangguan Qingyue imagined that scene and couldn't help shaking her body. Tsk, as the saying goes, it's hard to change a person's nature, she couldn't do it at all! So she knew what to do and admitted defeat:

"I was wrong, Your Highness, please don't bother with me."

She lowered her head, so she naturally missed the flash of teasing in Xuanyuan Yan's eyes. Since she didn't have to be so polite, she could just do whatever made her feel comfortable.

So she took a pillow from the side and placed it behind her, then half-lying down with her body tilted, intending to find the person opposite her to help her resolve the doubts that had accumulated in her heart over the past few days.

"Your Highness, what happened to your leg injury?"
