My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

After a few days, news came from the palace that the Queen Mother had recovered well and the princes and princesses could bring their families to the palace to visit her.

So at dawn that day, all the officials came to the palace gate early, waiting to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.

Mei Xueer fulfilled her previous promise very well, gave Cui Hongjing enough face, and pretended to be a harmonious couple in front of others.

Besides, when the Princess of Yan held a chrysanthemum-viewing banquet, she announced to the public that she and Prince Jing were inseparable and were trying hard to have a baby.

Prince Jing and the Crown Prince's lover Mei Xue'er were in love, and such gossip should have spread like wildfire among the nobles in the capital. However, with the explosive gossip about the Crown Princess at the time, no one cared about the gossip about Prince Jing's mansion. As time went by, there was nothing to talk about.

Isn't it just showing affection again? What's so difficult about that?

She can even show off her abilities even in front of the venomous prince.

There is a saying that goes, the more you don’t want something to happen, the more likely it will happen.

As soon as I arrived at the palace gate, I saw the prince getting off the carriage.

The prince looked down at Cui Hongjing who was sitting in the sedan chair, then raised his eyes to Mei Xueer who was standing beside him and smiled very ambiguously, as if the previous assassination incident had never happened.

"It's been a while since we last met. My third sister-in-law has become more feminine."

"Of course! If it weren't for your Highness's matchmaking, how could I have met such a good husband?" Mei Xueer smiled and bent down to tighten the collar of Cui Hongjing's cloak. "Your Highness, it's cold in the morning, don't catch a cold."

Cui Hongjing smiled as he held Mei Xueer's hand, rubbing it gently and looking at her tenderly, "I am not cold. It is you who are weak. Look, your little hands are icy cold. I will rub them for you."

His hands were big, warm and strong, almost completely covering her small hands.

She could feel the thin calluses on his fingertips gently rubbing the back of her hand.

It was a little itchy, but it made her feel strangely at ease. At the same time, goose bumps appeared all over her body.

"Your Highness, there are outsiders here! I'm shy..." Mei Xueer said shyly.

The tone of voice made Cui Hongjing shudder, and then he got goose bumps.

Goudan couldn't bear to listen any longer and said tremblingly: [Woman, are you shy? Please forgive me, if you keep talking, I'm going to vomit...]

Mei Xueer ignored it but still pulled her hand away gently. However, Cui Hongjing held on tighter and refused to let go.

Zhuang Xiang coughed at the side, and then he let go of his hand.

Uh, it seems to be empty all of a sudden.

"What a romantic scene between a man and a concubine. Hahahaha... Third brother has a really big heart. I admire you." The prince looked disdainful.

"Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince alone? Where is the Crown Princess? Oh, I almost forgot. I seem to have heard that the Crown Princess is sick. Is she not well yet?" Mei Xueer said with a half-smile, "I know a little bit about medicine. How about I go and check on the Crown Princess?"

The prince's face fell in an instant, "You bitch, you dare..."

"Prince, please think twice before you speak!" Cui Hongjing interrupted him immediately and sternly, "This is my princess, and it was my father who granted us this marriage! How can you speak so foul language?!"

Although he was sitting, his aura was no less than that of the prince.

Mei Xueer felt warm in her heart.

Even though I know Cui Hongjing is just putting on an act, it feels really good to be protected by someone.

As long as you can protect yourself, you can live well even if you are alone.

But the feeling of being protected by a man is really heartwarming.

At this moment, Mei Xueer felt her nose was a little sour.

Over the past three months, she has experienced a lot and faced many dangers, but she has done everything on her own.

If she wants to survive in this male-dominated world, she must make herself strong, as strong as a man.

But she is a woman. As long as she is a woman, who doesn't want to be loved, pampered and protected?

When the wind and rain come, who doesn’t want someone to hold an umbrella for them?

This was the first time that her nominal husband protected her like this in front of other people.

Although she knew that Cui Hongjing was just acting, she still enjoyed the feeling.

It would be great if all this were true.

If all this were true, she might let bygones be bygones and live peacefully with him.

She could even let go of the matter of abortion pills.

After all, love is such an illusory thing.

Many marriages are loveless at the beginning.

Even if there is, doesn't it eventually slowly turn into family affection?

Seeing that Mei Xueer's eyes were red and she was a little distracted, Cui Hongjing pulled her hand again.

Mei Xueer quickly lowered her head to avoid being seen by others.

Cui Hongjing: Could it be that I squeezed her too hard and hurt her again?

The prince glared at the two of them fiercely, shook his sleeves vigorously, said "Just wait and see", and walked into the palace alone.

"Your Highness, let's go in too." Mei Xueer said softly.

Zhuang Xiang was just about to have someone carry the sedan chair when he heard a breathless voice behind him, "Sister, please wait!"

It was Mei Qianyue.

The winter in Beijing is cold, and in the early morning, it is so cold that people have to pull their necks into their collars. There are frost flowers on the grass by the roadside.

But Mei Qianyue came quickly against the cold wind.

When he walked in front of Mei Xueer, she could hardly stand and could hardly breathe. She was coughing like a bellows.

Nanxing held her tightly.

Mei Xueer quickly took out a pill from the small medicine bag she carried with her, "Take it quickly!"

She was a little angry. "Didn't I tell you repeatedly not to get cold, especially in the early morning, and not to go out? What are you doing? If you have anything to say, can't you wait until I get back to talk? Why don't you take care of yourself?"

She turned around and rebuked Mei Qianyue's maid Ling'er, "How do you serve your young lady? You let her ruin her body!"

After taking the medicine, Mei Qianyue gradually calmed down, and her face became more rosy. "Don't blame Ling'er, big sister. It was me who insisted on coming here."

Mei Xueer turned around and gave Cui Hongjing an apologetic smile, then pulled Mei Qianyue aside and said, "What happened? Tell me quickly."

Mei Qianyue blushed, "I wonder if elder sister can take me into the palace with you."

"What are you doing in the palace?" Mei Xueer was surprised.

"You know, big sister, I grew up in a farm and have never seen what the imperial palace looks like. So, I want to go and take a look."

Mei Xueer: This is the reason that would make you risk your life and run to the palace gate early in the morning? You must be kidding.

Although she was confused, Mei Qianyue was obviously unwilling to say, so she didn't want to ask in detail.

But she was worried that Mei Qianyue was not among those invited today, and if something happened when she entered the palace, she would not be able to bear the blame.

"It's okay, just let the third lady go into the palace with you." Cui Hongjing spoke from a distance.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Mei Qianyue quickly walked over and bowed to express her gratitude.

Because she moved too quickly, she started coughing again.

How strong is Mei Qianyue's desire to enter the palace!

But since the Dog Prince had spoken, Mei Xueer had to pretend to be a follower of her husband, so she took her with her.

Mei Qianyue followed behind, while Mei Xueer and Cui Hongjing in the sedan chair walked in front.

She couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Why did the prince agree?"

"Nothing will go wrong." Cui Hongjing seemed to be thinking about something. "What kind of trouble can a weak woman cause?"

"That's not necessarily true." Mei Xueer felt that this was a bit strange.

Cui Hongjing in the sedan chair did not answer her, but turned his head and closed his eyes.

Just forget it, as if you know everything. What are you showing off for?

Mei Qianyue was supported by Ling'er. Her steps were a little unsteady and her heart was floating in the air.

She didn't know if she could see him today, but she wanted to try.

She wanted to tell him that she was trying every possible way to find him.

Three months ago, she met him in the grove near the village.

At that time, he was wearing the armor of General Dazhen, was seriously injured, and was dying. The armor was stained red with blood.

She simply bandaged his wound, and together with Ling'er and the coachman, she lifted him onto her carriage and transported him back to the farm.

She called a doctor to treat his injuries.

It turned out that he was hit by an arrow from the enemy and was pursued by soldiers, so he was separated from his brothers.

He thought he would die in that grove, but God made him meet her.

The sunlight shines through the leaves, casting mottled spots of light.

She walked slowly towards us, stepping on the small dots, as beautiful as a fairy in the sky.

This scene became the most beautiful memory in his life.

His eyes lit up instantly.

This is the woman he has been looking for.

This is how his woman should be.

He asked her what her name was. She was shy and just smiled without saying anything.

She asked him who he was, but he was under the emperor's order at the time, so he could not say much, and only said that he was a military commander.

Little did he know that ever since she first saw him, she and her entire world had been completely occupied by him.

That night, she lay on the soft bed, thinking about him sleeping in the yard outside, and stayed awake all night.

That night, she thought a lot, and she wanted to live so much more than ever before.

Her heart had long been like a barren desert, lifeless.

But since seeing him, an oasis has grown in the desert.

He brought the breath of life to the dead desert in her heart.

Doctors said she wouldn't live past the age of 20, but she accepted her fate.

But from that day on, she didn't want to accept her fate anymore.

She wants to live.

But she was afraid, afraid that all this was just a mirage in the desert.

So, she plucked up her courage and decided to seize this oasis.

What you hold in your hands is real.

Tomorrow morning, she must go and tell him that she wants to be with him.

But when she opened the door to the guest room, he was gone.

he's gone.

Left quietly.

It took away the oasis that had just grown in her heart, and also took away her vitality.

He didn't know who she was, and she didn't know who he was.

But she was not reconciled.

She wants to find him.

After returning to Beijing, she asked around to find out which general in the army was as handsome as her.

After secretly meeting a few people, I was disappointed.

She heard that the Sixth Prince, King Xiao, was also a military general, with an outstanding appearance, and gradually overlapped with the figure in her memory.

She secretly went to the gate of Prince Xiao's mansion and looked out, but she never saw him appear.

Last night, she learned that all the princes would come to the palace to visit the Queen Mother today.

She thought that King Xiao would definitely go as well.

So she came looking for it.

He didn't know if the person she was looking for was King Xiao.

But she wanted to give it a try.
