Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

The next day, Tangxi vaguely heard a servant outside the door reminding the time.

She opened her eyes and felt a little dizzy. After a while, she subconsciously called out Dong Zhu.

As a result, as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that she was no longer in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Ji Qichen was lying and sleeping next to him.

Last night, Ji Qichen was obviously too nervous and drank many glasses of osmanthus wine, but now he is still sleeping.

Dong Zhu came over and looked the young lady up and down carefully before looking away in confusion.

Mu Tangxi walked around Ji Qichen and got off the bed. The moment she left, Ji Qichen opened his eyes.

"Tangxi?"

Mu Tangxi looked back and smiled, "You're awake."

Ji Qichen woke up immediately and sat up, "Tangxi!"

"Qi Chen, hurry up and get up, we still have to go to the palace to pay our respects."

Mu Tangxi turned her head and just picked up Shi Dai, she noticed a gust of wind-like figure standing beside her.

Ji Qichen looked at Tang Xi with sparkling eyes, "Shall I draw your eyebrows for you?"

Mu Tangxi looked at him hesitantly, "Can you?"

Ji Qichen blinked guiltily, "Maybe..."

Mu Tangxi was silent for a while, and tentatively placed the stone in his hand into Ji Qichen's hand.

"Then you try?"

Ji Qichen solemnly picked up the stone ink in one hand, gently lifted Tangxi's face with the other hand, and drew eyebrows on it.

Mu Tangxi looked at Ji Qichen's serious expression, and her eyebrows also felt like they were drawn by Shi Dai.

After seeing the final product, Mu Tangxi looked at himself in the mirror and thought it was quite good.

Not too strong or too weak, just right.

Seeing that Tangxi was not dissatisfied, Ji Qichen finally felt relieved.

Mu Tangxi glanced at Ji Qichen and said, "Hurry up and change your clothes, I'm almost ready!"

Ji Qichen nodded and called the servant to come in to change clothes.

By the way, I took a glance at the color of Tangxi's clothes and picked out a piece of the same color.

Tangxi's cascading satin-like black hair was tied up by Dongzhu and inserted with a pearl hairpin. She also wore a particularly cool green outfit, making her look like an immortal.

Ji Qichen also chose a green dress and his hair was tied up with a crown decorated with pearls.

When two people stand together, even strangers can tell that they are a couple.

After finishing their breakfast, the two got on the carriage.

Mu Tangxi suddenly thought of a question at this time, "Qi Chen, what kind of person is your mother?"

Ji Qichen's expression froze for a moment, as if he had never told Tangxi these things.

"Tangxi," he said after a moment's hesitation, "my mother may not like us very much."

Mu Tangxi didn't understand for a moment: "We?"

Ji Qichen's mother doesn't like Ji Qichen, nor does she like her?

Ji Qichen lowered his eyes and looked at Tang Xi with some pity, "My mother never took care of me since I was a child. When I grew up, she thought I was a waste."

Mu Tangxi touched Ji Qichen's head as a comfort, but in fact this action was subconscious.

Ji Qichen paused, then lowered his head even lower, allowing Tangxi to touch him.

"So if Tangxi minds, we won't go to see my mother."

Mu Tangxi asked curiously: "If I don't go, will it be okay?"

Ji Qichen immediately shook his head, "It's okay, my mother doesn't want to see me anyway."

Mu Tangxi said softly, "Can you tell me the reason? I want to know you better."

When Ji Qichen heard this, he agreed without even thinking about it.

"My mother was born as a palace maid, and she didn't have enough confidence to compete for favor with other concubines, but she was favored by my father because of her beautiful face."

"But my father has many beauties in his harem. Today I went to my mother's place, and tomorrow I went to other concubines' places."

"So my mother began to place her hopes on me, wanting me to perform better so that I could attract my father's attention again."

"But...even though I tried hard to get the Master's praise, my father's eyes were always on the First and Second Princes."

Mu Tangxi seemed to have vaguely guessed something.

Ji Qichen's expression did not change much, he just said lightly: "Then my mother was disappointed in me, and she gradually became old and ugly, and my father did not visit her for a long time."

"She blamed me for everything, thinking that my presence had accelerated the aging of her appearance. After that, she never talked to me again."

"So," Ji Qichen paused, "it's better not to go see mother."

Mu Tangxi nodded and agreed.

Just then, the carriage stopped and the two of them slowly walked into the palace.

The high walls standing on both sides give people a depressing feeling.

It was like a birdcage adorned with gems and gold, locking all the concubines tightly in this cannibalistic palace.

In order to survive and bring honor to their family, concubines fought desperately for the emperor's favor.

The emperor watched all this from his high position and selected the birds with the smoothest and most beautiful fur to play with.

As soon as there were other new and beautiful birds, the emperor would throw away his old toys.

The person the emperor is holding in his hands now is Concubine Li, and they just happened to meet her.

Ji Qichen and Tang Xi were walking towards the emperor's palace when they accidentally met Concubine Li.

"Isn't this the Third Prince? I guess this must be the young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Mu Tangxi: ...

She looked at Ji Qichen and asked him with her eyes if they could just ignore this person and walk around him?

Ji Qichen was stunned for a moment, then nodded happily.

He hasn't tried this yet!

Then the two of them quickened their pace and walked forward, as if they had heard and seen nothing, ignoring Concubine Li's call.

Concubine Li was furious. She had never seen such an ignorant person since she came into favor!

She looked at the two people walking very fast in front of her with a dark face. She didn't want to run after them!

After Ji Qichen and Mu Tangxi successfully got rid of Concubine Li, they happily high-fived each other.

But when they got closer to the emperor's palace, the two of them regained their dignified appearance, which was quite intimidating.

At least the emperor looked at the third prince in surprise. Why did he change so much after getting married?

But it’s okay, at least he looks like the third prince.

He could also rest assured and hand over the matter to the Third Prince. Otherwise, if the Crown Prince won too easily, the purpose of his training would not be achieved.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Please sit down first. I want to ask you some questions."

Ji Qichen:? Why do you have to ask this question now?

He thought he could take Tangxi away just by saying a few words!

The smile on Mu Tangxi's face became more and more perfect. She always felt that the emperor had some conspiracy waiting for them.

This is intuition!

After the two men sat down, the emperor first asked a few questions in a friendly manner about the third prince's residence and his health, and then mentioned one thing.

"Qi Chen, you are now married and have moved out of the palace, so I will give you the title of prince just like I did to your elder brother and second brother."

"At the same time, you should also take responsibility."

Ji Qichen was confused. What was his responsibility?
