He Yue herself didn't realize that she liked to frown when she encountered something that made her distressed. Her slender and comfortable eyebrows made people feel pity when they were frowned.

She was born to be lovable, and was born to be loved by Ning Rusong.

Ning Rusong used his free hand to gently smooth her raised brows, "I built a He Mansion in the manor."

He Yue didn't realize the deep meaning in his words. She just felt like she had made a fortune again. She responded naively, "I'll go and see it some other day."

The name He Mansion sounds like the luxuriousness of a wealthy family!

Ning Rusong laughed. He was born with a handsome appearance, and now his eyebrows were full of a sense of peace and harmony. "Yueyue, we are going to get married. When the time comes, I will take you from the He Mansion to the Zhai carriage. The wedding procession will enter the East Palace from the main palace gate outside the palace."

He moved closer, his thick eyelashes drooped, and he held He Yue's cheek and kissed her. The soft touch made He Yue look at him with her eyes wide open.

This was the first time Ning Rushong kissed He Yue. She was shy and a little at a loss. Isn't it said that ancient people were very reserved?

An indescribable atmosphere of tenderness grew between the two of them. He kissed her gently again before saying, "I have prepared a dowry for you. It is now in the storeroom of the He Mansion."

Ning Rushong paid for both the betrothal gift and the dowry. He couldn't let Yueyue be looked down upon. The betrothal gift would accompany the wedding procession all the way into the East Palace and it represented the woman's face.

Even though He Yue didn't know much about ancient weddings, she understood something from Ning Rusong's words. She looked at him steadily, then took his hand off her face and sighed, "I always feel like you've suffered a great loss by marrying me!"

She didn't mean to belittle herself. She loved herself. Although Ning Rushong had always been persistent in marrying her, He Yue had seen all his efforts and really tried his best to treat her well and considered everything.

"Can you give so much for love at first sight?" He Yue was puzzled. The confusion on her bright and beautiful face could be seen at a glance. "There are so many women in the world. Why did you, the prince, fall for me?"

This was something He Yue had always been puzzled about. She asked questions very directly, without beating around the bush. And with the help of Ning Rushong, he would usually answer whatever she asked.

"Perhaps it is the fate of my previous life that makes me unable to let go of you the moment I see you in this life." Ning Rushong turned his wrist slightly and held her hand with his backhand, his dark and gloomy eyes showing ambiguous meanings.

He Yue smiled and shrugged, leaning slightly against Ning Rusong. She liked the smell of him, which was very clear and clean. "If you are so cunning and empty, then is this fate a good one or a bad one?"

Ning Rusong replied, "It is a good karma to pray for atonement for sins."

After a conversation, He Yue's nervousness mostly dissipated. She didn't stand still as she did at the beginning, but leaned lazily against him. She couldn't answer the question of love at first sight, so she changed the subject, "What kind of person is the Queen? I think she must have a sense of grace as the mother of the country."

The emperor and the empress were the top rulers in ancient times and have almost become a representative symbol. Modern people are always tirelessly exploring them, so it is completely normal for He Yue to be curious.

"My mother has been in charge of the harem for many years, and she is very majestic." Ning Rusong thought of the things in her previous life, and gently stroked her palm with his fingers, and reminded her, "Yueyue, if my mother sends someone to summon you, don't pay attention, and don't go to Kunning Palace alone. I will take care of it."

A man who can handle the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a good man. He Yue patted his hands and said in a clear voice, "I understand."

She didn't know what she was thinking of. She straightened her waist, raised her head and asked quietly in Ning Rusong's ear, "Do you know about the Yue Royal Concubine?"

When mentioning the Queen, one naturally thinks of the harem, and when mentioning the harem, one thinks of the struggles among concubines. The current Majesty's harem cannot avoid the person of Imperial Noble Consort Yue. He Yue knew the name of the late Imperial Noble Consort Yue not long after coming to this world.

Rural women love to gossip, and when they mentioned the Imperial Concubine Yue, they mentioned her as well, "Oh, Madam He's name Yue sounds the same as the Imperial Concubine Yue's!"

He Yue was so frightened that she hurriedly shook her head, "Don't hurt me, ladies! The Royal Concubine of Yue is the phoenix in the sky, and I am a sparrow that fell to the ground and rolled around. We can't be put together!"

An old lady snorted coldly and criticized with righteous indignation, "The Royal Concubine of Yue is a scoundrel who brought disaster to the country. Her reputation is stinking!"

The ladies naturally knew nothing about court affairs, but they loved to listen to and trusted what the scholars said. In order to uphold their own noble character of not fearing power, they seized on Concubine Yue's position that violated the rules, wrote verdicts, and criticized her for ruining Emperor Jingmu's wise monarchy.

According to He Yue, they are all sour Confucianists who bully the weak and fear the strong. If they really have the courage, they should go to the palace gate and present a bloody gesture.

"I know." Ning Rusong met He Yueshuo's bright eyes, satisfied her curiosity, and gave the most appropriate evaluation of the Royal Concubine of Yue, "A woman who could not get the love she wanted and lived a miserable life."

This was very different from what He Yue had imagined. Miserable? A royal concubine could be equated with such a word, which showed that the palace was a place where people were eaten. He Yue was a little depressed.

Xiao Guanzi's voice came from outside the door, "The Queen has sent someone to invite His Highness and the Crown Princess!"

The first thing Ning Rushong did when she returned to the palace was to present the marriage certificate. Emperor Jingmu agreed without any hindrance, just like in the previous life. Now He Yue's position was legitimate, otherwise Xiao Guanzi would not dare to call He Yue the Crown Princess.

Ning Rusong stopped He Yue from leaving the room in a soothing manner, "Yueyue can stay in the East Palace. I will go to Queen Mother's place."

…………

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat in the sedan chair with his eyes closed, tapping the armrests with his fingers regularly, mentally counting the items in the Eastern Palace's inner storehouse.

Yueyue loved to be coquettish, so silk jewelry had to be put into her private collection. He remembered that she loved to make small items, so beautiful and rare jade beads had to be found as well.

The maid from Kunning Palace followed behind the sedan chair and finally couldn't help but speak up, "Your Highness, the Queen has ordered me to invite the Crown Princess along!"

What's the point of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing in front of He? It makes it seem like the Queen is unkind and wants to harm her!

"Oh, do you really have to?" Ning Rusong lifted his thin eyelids to look at her, and said casually, "If the Queen Mother's original words are not as you said, I will definitely punish you."

The prince's words were not fast or even heavy, but the nanny looked as if she had been cut by a knife. She lowered her head and did not dare to tell even a single lie. "The Queen Mother asked this old servant to invite Your Highness and the Crown Princess to go to Kunning Palace together!"

Ning Rusong clapped his fingers and the sedan chair stopped. He glanced at the maid and spoke coldly, without any warmth. "You servant who bullied your master, go to the Ministry of Punishment to receive your punishment. After the punishment, go back to Kunning Palace to apologize to the Queen Mother."

Mammy knelt down and kowtowed, "Yes!"
