After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

"Your Highness." Meng Zhaoge interrupted him, feeling a little tired of getting entangled with him on this matter.

She didn't know whether Yu Wenqi really didn't understand or was just pretending.

Who would like a slap in the face followed by a sweet date?

"Let's not talk about this anymore," she said.

Yuwen Qi held her shoulders and asked persistently, "Why? At least you should tell me what you think. Even if you don't want to forgive me, let me know the reason."

"..."

Meng Zhaoge was silent for a while, "Your Majesty, do you think that I really know nothing?"

"what?"

"Your Highness must have known about my mother's plan to examine my body before." Meng Zhaoge raised his eyes, a hint of sarcasm flashing across them.

"It is said that mother and child are connected by heart. Without the prince's tacit consent, I don't think Concubine Lan would have treated me directly like this."

Yu Wenqi's eyes were evasive. He wanted to explain but remained silent.

This made Meng Zhaoge even more certain that he knew about it. She frowned and asked him in a lukewarm tone.

"I dare not answer the question the prince asked me just now. But if you were me, would you open your heart so quickly to a husband who doubts you in every way?"

There was silence between the two of them.

After a moment, Yuwen Qi let go of her shoulders, with a somewhat lonely look in his eyes.

Meng Zhaoge only said: "It's getting late, Prince, let's go."

She walked out of the room again, and when she pushed the door open, Yu Wenqi behind her said in a deep voice: "Even if I acquiesced, you clearly know the reason."

"It's because I care about you too much!"

"..."

Meng Zhaoge almost pointed at his nose and cursed "bullshit".

Some people really are that thick-skinned.

She suppressed the impulse in her heart and did not stop.

After this day, Yuwen Qi and Meng Zhaoge seemed to have reached a freezing point.

Everyone in the palace knew that the prince had never come to Plum Garden since then, nor had he sent anyone to deliver anything. Instead, he found fault for no apparent reason and withheld the princess's food, clothing and other expenses.

As for the princess, she was still the same as before, as if she didn't care how the prince treated her.

The discord between the two was laid bare.

Yuwen Qi didn't want to see her again. He was waiting for Meng Zhaoge to bow her head.

But Meng Zhaoge couldn't bow her head. When facing Yuwen Qi, her neck was made of iron.

Soon, it was Mid-Autumn Festival.

A Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held in the imperial palace, and many members of the Yuwen family attended.

Emperor Chu doted on Meng Changning and lifted her house arrest ahead of schedule.

At the palace banquet, Meng Zhaoge saw her again. She was wearing a turquoise dress embroidered with gold-thread acacia flowers, and the pearls and jade on her bun were even more gorgeous than what Concubine Lan wore.

The other concubines disliked her and began to mock her in private as soon as they sat down.

"She's dressed like a colorful peacock, as if she's the queen."

"How shameless..."

Meng Zhaoge heard these voices. She usually didn't bother to comment on other people's clothes, but the phoenix hairpin on Meng Changning's head was indeed a bit too much.

She drank her tea quietly, waiting for the palace banquet to end, without saying a word to Yuwen Qi beside her.

Yu Wenlian sat opposite the two of them.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw the King of Jing and his wife, who looked like strangers to him, and he drank the wine in his glass in a good mood.

During the banquet, a servant came in and said something to Yuwen Lian, who then left the hall first.

"Where is the prince?" After a moment, Emperor Chu noticed that Yuwen Lian was missing and asked.

The servant said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince accidentally soiled his clothes just now, so he went to change."

Emperor Chu didn't ask any more questions.

The banquet was halfway through, but Yuwen Lian still showed no sign of coming back.

Meng Zhaoge noticed this and found it a bit strange.

At this time, the palace maid who poured wine for her accidentally poured all the wine on her.

"Please spare me, Princess. I didn't mean it." The maid knelt down hurriedly to apologize.

Meng Zhaoge: “…”

Before she could say anything, Yuwen Qi beside her said coldly: "It's just a little stain on my clothes, is it necessary to embarrass a servant?"

Meng Zhaoge couldn't help but roll his eyes and smiled, "Your Highness is right. Get up, go back and pack up, and go back to the palace with Your Highness after the banquet."

The maid was stunned: "I don't understand..."

"What's there to not understand?" Meng Zhaoge continued to smile: "Congratulations, great blessings have befallen you."

Yuwen Qi was standing aside, his face darkened: "Meng Zhaoge——"

"I'll go change my clothes first." Meng Zhaoge stood up and left the banquet.

The weather outside is a bit cool.

Meng Zhaoge suddenly came out, without a cloak, and shivered from the cold.

Mo Huan followed her and asked, "My Lady, where are we going?"

"Just walk around, the longer you can delay, the better." She really didn't want to live under the same roof with Yuwen Qi.

This man is sick.

I didn't know where I was going, but a young eunuch suddenly caught up with me from behind and said, "Princess, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jing is waiting for you in the Chaolu Palace. He said he has prepared some clothes for you to change into."

Meng Zhaoge thought she had heard it wrong. Although she didn't want to pay attention to Yuwen Qi, she was in the palace today after all, and she didn't want to make a scene too embarrassing.

Otherwise Emperor Chu would ask again.

Therefore, she nodded reluctantly: "Okay."

Then he went to the terrace.

……

At the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

Meng Changning took a sip of wine and glanced at the empty prince's seat and the missing Meng Zhaoge.

Thinking about what would happen next, she couldn't suppress her excitement.

Today, she will prove that Meng Zhaoge and Yuwen Lian have an affair and eliminate the two thorns in her eyes in one fell swoop.

Meng Zhaoge, this bitch, was against her. And Yuwen Lian actually fell in love with this bitch.

They all deserve to die.

After a while, a young eunuch came in and whispered something in her ear.

"Really?" Meng Changning frowned and stood up, "I'll go take a look."

She also left the table.

Everyone continued to sing and drink, and even Emperor Chu was a little drunk.

After a moment, a sudden voice came: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something bad has happened!"

"Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, the family is reunited, why do you say such unlucky words." Emperor Chu was very dissatisfied, "Tell me, what's wrong with it?"

The young eunuch knelt on the ground, his face pale as he said, "It's... it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"What's wrong with the prince?" In an instant, Emperor Chu's voice changed.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is on the court terrace. Your Majesty, please go and see for yourself." The young eunuch seemed to be in great embarrassment, his face flushed with shame.

Everyone was a little surprised to see his reaction.

"It seems that the prince just went out."

"Hey, come to think of it, Princess Jing doesn't seem to be here either."

"Huipin isn't here either."

Emperor Chu was annoyed by their constant chatter and frowned, "Alright, shut up."

He stood up: "I'm going to take a look, you are not allowed to move."
