Long Live the Empress

Because the prince received a modified porcelain rose a few days ago, he had always wanted to know what secret method Yue Jinghong used, so he visited her again.

Yue Hanwen was flattered. It seemed that Jinghong's good days were not far away, so he quickly asked the maid to invite her over.

When Yue Jinghong walked in, the prince's eyes lit up. This second young lady was indeed beautiful. Today she was only wearing a simple light pink pleated skirt with scattered flowers, and her face was not made up, but she was still so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her.

"Your Highness, I need to demonstrate this secret method to you before I can help you solve it. Please move to the back garden." Yue Jinghong caught a glimpse of the prince's obsessed look and smiled charmingly.

As they were walking towards the back garden, they suddenly heard Yue Jinghong whisper, "Isn't that my eldest sister?"

The prince paused. The one he was engaged to was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although they had been engaged since childhood, they had never met each other. The second daughter was just a concubine's daughter, but she was so outstanding. The eldest daughter, who was a legitimate daughter, must be no less outstanding. He looked in the direction of Yue Jinghao, and this look disappointed the prince terribly.

Yue Jinghao looked pale and thin, not even as tall as a ten-year-old child... Is this his future Crown Princess?

Yue Jinghong looked at the prince's gloomy face and knew that Yue Jinghao would never be able to become the crown princess. "Prince, do you want to call my elder sister as well? It was my elder sister who took notes when I was tending to the porcelain rose. Please read it, Prince!" Yue Jinghong presented the secret paper Yue Jinghao had written to her to the prince.

The prince took a look at the clumsy words on the paper, and immediately lost interest in learning the secret technique. "I suddenly remembered that I have to go to the palace to see my father, so I will learn the secret technique from the second young lady later." After a few perfunctory words, he left in a hurry with his guards. He had to go to the palace to see his mother, and his crown princess could not be Yue Jinghao!

Yue Hanwen looked at the prince who suddenly left, and looked at Yue Jinghong in confusion, "Why did the prince leave? Did your father say something wrong?"

Yue Jinghong held Yue Hanwen's arm and led him back, "Father, you are worrying too much. The prince is busy with many things every day, and it is normal for him to forget things occasionally. Wouldn't it be better for father to invite the prince to the mansion in a few days?"

Yue Hanwen thought about it and it was true. However, judging from the current situation, the prince was already interested in Jinghong. "Jinghong, we need to strike while the iron is hot. There are so many women around the prince every day. You must seize the opportunity!"

Yue Jinghong was secretly happy. Not only did she successfully plot against Yue Jinghao this time, but her father also planned everything for her. "My daughter, save yourself!"

Yue Jinghao, who was far away, knew what Yue Jinghong was planning when a maid told her that Yue Jinghong asked her to meet him by the lake. Ha, so naive! I'll see how you can have your cake and eat it too.

After Yue Jinghong finished her play, Yue Jinghao returned to her own yard and made Manou cry.

Manju recalled the sufferings that the young lady had endured since childhood, and couldn't stop her tears from flowing. She ran out while crying, and happened to meet Zhenzhu who was beside Yue Jinghong.

When Pearl saw the maidservant beside the eldest lady was sad, she was happy and asked, "Why are you crying?"

Agate raised her head and cried even more aggrievedly, "It's because the second young lady broke her promise today and made the eldest young lady wait in vain for a long time. Isn't that why she took her anger out on me? Woo woo..."

Pearl suppressed her laughter and patted her shoulder. "The master suddenly had something to ask the second young lady, so the second young lady broke the appointment."

Agate cried even louder, "The eldest lady said that the second lady didn't come on purpose. After getting the secret method, the second lady crossed the river and destroyed the bridge... wuwu..."

After hearing this, Pearl didn't respond for a while. She just comforted Agate with a few words and hurried back to Qingyun Garden.

Yue Jinghong listened to Zhenzhu's report and tidied her appearance. "Hmph, my elder sister always talks nonsense to ruin my reputation. I'm going to go meet her now!"

As soon as they arrived at the door of Jinyuyuan, they heard the sound of porcelain breaking. Yue Jinghong walked in and saw Agate kneeling on the ground sobbing, and Yue Jinghao also pouted with an unhappy look on her face.

"Big sister, what happened?" Yue Jinghong covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief, looking completely clueless.

"Humph, my second sister asked me to go play by the lake, but I waited for a long time and you didn't show up! Is my second sister playing a trick on me?"

"Big sister, you misunderstood. Father called me suddenly, so... I apologize to you, big sister. Please don't be angry!" Yue Jinghong said as she bowed to Yue Jinghao to apologize.

"Since my second sister said so, I won't mind it. But my second sister has to treat me to the most expensive teahouse for tea!" Yue Jinghao's face suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny, and she grabbed Yue Jinghong's hand with a smile.
