After bowing three times, the court officials stood up and looked at the newly crowned Crown Princess with mixed feelings.

The soft little crown princess, with her rosy face pressed against her father's bright yellow dragon pattern, was supported by the emperor's hand that held the world in his hands. His voice was as stern as a cold blade through the snow, solemn yet with a warning, "The crown princess has been appointed. From now on, you should all abide by the rules of being a minister and assist her wholeheartedly."

The court officials were eager to show their loyalty, "I will do my utmost to be loyal and wise!"

After the imperial edict was issued, the third-day bathing banquet ended, and the court officials left the palace in low spirits. "Crown Princess, Crown Princess, this is really absurd and disrespectful!"

After the third-day-birth banquet, apart from the emperor and the empress, only the Prince of the South seemed to join in the fun.

Look, what did he say? The eldest princess is very lucky, so she becomes the crown princess!

Prince Nan paced on the palace road, glancing at the court officials not far away. Tsk~, in fact, as long as the emperor is not a tyrant, anyone can rule the world. It's just that these 'noble and polite' Confucian scholars are not comfortable with it.

The people in the harem were even more unbelievable at this time.

"Crown Princess! Sister Ke, please don't say anything so treasonous!"

All the court ladies in the three west halls looked at the court lady named Ke in disbelief.

Ke Cainu sat down with a gloomy face, threw away her handkerchief, and said in a not-so-friendly tone, "If you don't believe me, go and find out for yourself. How dare I make up such a big thing?!"

"I thought that when the Queen gave birth to a princess, we could get some hope." Ke Cainu glanced at the people present with sarcasm and laughed, "From now on, you'd better keep your tails between your legs. The Crown Princess has been appointed, don't even think that His Majesty will think of us!"

The concubines were silent. No wonder they were not qualified to attend the third-day bathing banquet. What did the third-day bathing of the crown prince have to do with them, a group of low-ranking concubines?

It's so unfair. There are precedents in the harem where a son becomes noble because of his mother. This is the case with Prince Rong, who was born to Royal Noble Consort Yue. But even so, Prince Rong did not become the crown prince!

On Yiyun Road in the Eastern Palace, He Yue and Ning Rushong walked slowly side by side without any palace servants accompanying them. Tuan'er was taken back to Yongding Palace by the wet nurse to rest.

The two people hold hands under their wide sleeves, and the warmth they convey is the proof of their love and the closeness of their two hearts.

He Yue hadn't set foot in the East Palace for more than two years. Now it was like she was revisiting the old place. She said to him with emotion, "Chi Jue, you were really scary back then."

Before Ning Rushong, He Yue had never met anyone like him, with a superior appearance and a very cold heart. Every word he said and every look he gave was like a bloody dagger, piercing into people's chests and picking at their most important veins.

He Yue strolled leisurely and tilted her head to look at him, "I'm not afraid now."

Ning Rusong didn't ask why, but admitted his fault first, "It's all my fault."

It was getting dark, with only a thin layer of light shining on Ning Rushong's body. His face was dazzling, and he was smiling in his heart, with joy spreading. Yueyue mentioned it so calmly, which showed that she had truly let go of the past.

He Yue has no nostalgia for the past years, which were so muddy and turbid that they were unbearable to look at. But Ning Rushong always feels pity for them, thinking that he is too vulgar and despicable, and why he didn't recognize his own heart sooner.

He had no choice but to peel himself apart and present his beating heart to He Yue, letting her play with it. Even if it broke into pieces, at least it would rot in her hands.

Wandering in the sea of ​​blood and climbing in purgatory, Ning Rushong's view on love is so extreme, and He Yue is his only clarity.

"Yueyue, when Tuan'er is older and can stand the travel, let's go back to Lijia Village." Ning Rusong turned his head to look at her, thinking about what she had said before, "You said you would make up for the wedding there."

"Okay." He Yue nodded slowly and smiled silently, "Would I lie to you?"

…………

At night, He Yue sat in front of the bronze mirror. Hui Qing took off her hairpin and earrings for her, and lovingly combed her hair with a jade comb, saying, "My queen, you can't go out in the next few days. You have to stay in confinement for the full period of time, preferably two. Take advantage of this time to take care of your body."

As the saying goes, if you spend the whole month of confinement, your body will not be empty. But today is a special day, the little princess will be crowned as the crown princess, and the queen must see it with her own eyes.

"Youth is the most important thing. I won't be willful." He Yue, who had already taken the opportunity to take a shower and wash her hair, responded quickly. God knows how she spent the past three days. She couldn't wash her hair or take a bath. When she felt uncomfortable, she could only wipe herself with a towel soaked in warm water. It was really torturous.

Hey, she was stunned for a moment, and shifted her gaze to Ning Rushong who was sitting on the side. This guy was really a great man. He hugged her to sleep every night.

Ning Rushong is extremely sensitive to sight. He has slightly curved eyebrows, clear and gentle expression, and a natural demeanor.

Oh, He Yue turned her eyes back and looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Her face was indeed slightly red. Could she be blamed for this? She herself didn't know why, but she had become more and more interested in Ning Rusong recently.

She placed the cool back of her hand against her cheek and murmured to herself that Ning Rushong's endless emotions were affecting her.

When he was in front of her, his heart was always warm and bright, which colored her poor heart. The longer the time went, the more she could not distinguish the entangled emotions.

Hui Qing noticed the eye contact between the Queen and His Majesty, so she quickened her movements, combed the Queen's hair until it was smooth, and then stepped back.

He Yue stood up, opened the double curtain, walked to the bed and sat down, "Chi Jue, I made an agreement with you back then, but you haven't mentioned it in the past few days. Are you not going to agree to it?"

That day, the two made an agreement that Ning Rushong would give He Yue a badge that would allow her to leave the palace at any time, as long as she could return to the palace every night.

Forgot? Ning Rusong really hadn't forgotten, but in fact, as long as He Yue didn't take the initiative to mention it, Ning Rusong would pretend that it had never happened.

"Don't worry, Yueyue." Ning Rushong remained calm. "I have asked Xiao Guanzi to make the ivory plate. It will be available to you tomorrow. I have only opened a southwest palace gate. It is more hidden from the outside of the palace there."

He would give He Yue the freedom she wanted within a certain range. After all, she would come back every night, back to Yongding Palace, back to him.

"Aren't you afraid anymore?" He Yue asked in surprise, glancing at him with her willow-leaf eyes. In the dim light, there was a hint of charm in the corners of her eyes.

"Don't be afraid." Ning Rushong understood what He Yue said. In fact, he was not afraid that she would just leave. The two of them had come to this point in time after so many twists and turns, and they had a clear idea in their hearts. They would not change it rashly. It was also an unspoken tacit understanding.

There is no such possibility. On the surface, she will bring palace servants with her, and secretly she will also have countless secret guards. Even if the world turns upside down, she will not be able to leave Yuncheng.
