As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

There is a little rain tonight, and it hits the leaves gently.

He Yue asked the palace maid to open the stained glass window. She sat on the couch by the window, listening to the sound of rain, and her heart became strangely calm.

She was holding an embroidery frame in her hand, this time she was embroidering a waistband with a crane pattern on it. Xiao Taozi and another palace maid were kneeling at the foot of the couch, arranging the complicated embroidery threads.

He Yue didn't put much effort into the embroidery. No matter what the result was, she would still give it to Ning Rushong and say that she was just a beginner and had done her best.

She now sees it clearly. If Ning Rushong didn't protect her, she would be killed by these He people. Empress He, Concubine He, and He Liangyuan are not good people.

That "Mr. He" from Lijia Village was even more of an evil creature in good disguise. He brought her into the dangerous and treacherous East Palace.

Injustice, injustice.

Looking at the half-fat bird embroidered by He Yue, Aunt Lu smiled stiffly. She asked, "Crown Princess, are you going to embroider this for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

The unfinished business is to practice more often? Even if His Royal Highness accepted it, he would not be able to wear it outside.

"Yes, this is the first waist belt I have embroidered. Naturally, I want to present it to Your Highness." He Yue pretended not to understand what Nanny Lu meant.

With a few more strokes of the needle and thread, the fat bird's black eyeballs appeared.

Look how cute she is, He Yue admired in her heart. She couldn't bear to give her to that bastard Ning Rushong.

It was getting darker outside, so the palace servants added a few lanterns.

Xiao Taozi stopped what she was doing and looked outside, her tone somewhat anxious, "Crown Princess, do you think His Highness will come tonight?"

Another maid named Xiao Lizi nodded and said, "What if she is seduced away by some shameless woman?"

"Not to mention the two new concubines, there are also a few skinny horses from Jiangnan who were once offered to us living in Rouyuan." Xiao Lizi became more and more excited as she spoke, and was quite indignant.

Xiao Lizi is very young, about thirteen years old, and lively, so He Yue can't help but like her a little more.

He Yue smiled and put down the embroidery stand. She touched the center of Xiao Lizi's eyebrows at the corner of the couch with her fingertips and said with a smile, "You are talking nonsense. You are getting bolder."

The crown princess' eyebrows and eyes softened, as if ice and snow had melted and turned into gurgling spring water. Little Pear's ears turned red. "I'm afraid that telling you about those things, Crown Princess, would pollute your ears."

"Those skinny guys from Jiangnan are the same as the prostitutes singing in the opera house. They all learned some low-class tricks."

He Yue did not mean to look down on anyone. Her family knew their own business. She was not as capable as Jiangnan Skinny Horse, who at least knew how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

"I am also a merchant." He Yuerou smiled and continued to embroider the fat bird.

Xiao Lizi lowered her head and tugged at the embroidery thread in the embroidery basket, pursing her lips, "You are the Crown Princess, a noble lady, engraved with a royal jade disc, how can you be put together with the word merchant now?"

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" A respectful voice came from outside the palace.

The beaded curtain was lifted by the eunuch, and the prince stepped in wearing the prince's dragon robe. Normally, he was imposing enough in his casual clothes, but this time he looked even more cold and elegant, as cold as ice.

It seems that government affairs are indeed very busy, Ning Rushong didn't even change his clothes.

The palace maids all bowed and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Ning Rusong watched He Yue prepare to stand up and salute. He sat down beside her, put his arm around her shoulders, and said, "No need to salute."

He saw the waistband in He Yue's hand. It was made of dark blue material. He Yue seemed to shyly hand it to him, with tenderness in her eyes. "I embroidered the waistband for you. I was busy for a few days."

The base fabric was chosen by Xiao Taozi, the embroidery thread was arranged by Xiao Lizi, and the tracing pattern was drawn by Aunt Lu. She embroidered a fat crane.

She sighed again, "I'm just a newbie, and I'm not doing a good job. I'm afraid you'll dislike it, Your Highness."

It doesn't matter whether she is disliked or not, she just needs to put on a show on the surface, it's the same principle as trying to please the boss, just fool around.

Ning Rushong took the half of the fat bird waistband, his dark eyes filled with an ambiguous meaning. He stroked the drooping wings of the fat bird with his hand, "Is it a crane embroidered on it?"

He Yue nodded in surprise, kneeling on the couch and holding his hand, "Yes, Your Highness."

Wow, you have a pretty good eye!

Ning Rusong slid his hand down and held He Yue's waist. He didn't use much strength, but He Yue sat astride his legs.

Little Peach and Little Pear packed up their embroidered baskets and left with the other palace servants.

The palace door was closed.

"If it were embroidered better, I would wear it out." Ning Rushong curled his lips and smiled.

The waist belt really brings back memories. At that time, He Yue was in the governor's mansion and didn't want to embroider it for him. She kept muttering about her late husband and even cried.

Why did she cry? Yes, because he talked about her late husband who died early.

The dead should be buried in the past. Why do they appear in the mouths of the living?

It's good enough for He Yue now. It's his right to embroider a waist belt for him since he is her husband.

It doesn't matter if the embroidery is bad. He will keep it. When she embroiders it a little better one day, he will wear it out and no one will dare to question it.

He Yue was pinched by the waist and fell on the couch, her outer clothes were lifted up, revealing her underwear vaguely.

Ning Rushong placed the waist belt carefully on the table beside him.

"Your Highness, go to the bed in the inner hall." He Yue said timidly with red eyes.

She put her arms around Ning Rushong's neck and stroked the side of his face. He had a good bone structure and she could feel the smooth lines just by touching it.

Such a good appearance, such a bad heart.

"Go to the inner hall, Your Highness." He Yue repeated.

Ning Rushong picked up He Yue and walked towards the inner hall.

…………

The lights in Yu Pavilion were on all night, and He Liangdi and He Liangyuan also waited all night.

My heart went from being nervous to feeling sad and embarrassed.

A maid knocked on the door outside. "Don't wait, Concubine Liang. The Crown Prince is staying at the Crown Princess's place."

The nanny passed the same news to He Liangyuan in the side pavilion, "Liangyuan, don't wait any longer. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is staying at the Crown Princess's place."

"Bang!" He Liangdi threw a lot of things around, and there was a faint sound of cursing.

The nanny walked away holding the palace lantern and shook her head. There would be much more suffering in the future. This was just the beginning. If something was broken, the eunuch in charge might not even make up for it. Those eunuchs were best at choosing the right dish to serve.

He Liangyuan in the side pavilion was much calmer, but her face was also pale. She was smarter than her biological sister and thought of more.

Without the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and having offended the Crown Princess in Kunning Palace, my life will probably be difficult in the future.
