Chapter 39 Want to leave the palace to watch Li Xiaoshu's wedding

After serving tea, the He sisters were supposed to sit down, but before they could sit down, He Yue said that the greetings were over and asked them to return to their respective palaces.

Ma Lu stretched out her arm, and He Yue placed her slender and soft hand on it. Then she stood up and went back to the inner hall. She was wearing a lilac palace dress, looking graceful and elegant.

"Farewell, Crown Princess!" The concubines in the Eastern Palace bowed and saluted.

After He Yue disappeared, they stood up and walked out of the hall with their own maids. The He sisters stood there awkwardly, their hands almost tearing the handkerchief to pieces.

According to the rules, they are high-ranking concubines in the Eastern Palace. After serving tea, they will be given seats and then rewarded with items by the Crown Princess. Crown Princess He is really going too far!

She is clearly just a country woman, how can she treat them like this!

It's no wonder that they feel unbalanced. When they were waiting to be married, as daughters of the He family, everyone outside the palace flattered them. But once they entered the Eastern Palace, although they held a high position, they were given the cold shoulder by the eunuchs and palace maids behind their backs. The Crown Prince was also occupied by the Crown Princess and had never favored them. With all these events added up, they hated He Yue to the core!

When Pan Chenghui passed by them, he adjusted his exquisite jade hairpin, glanced at them, and said in a coquettish voice, "Why are you two sisters still staying in the Biyuan? The Crown Princess likes quietness, so don't annoy her."

"Oh!" Pan Chenghui covered her mouth, then put it down again, "I forgot, sister, you have already angered the Crown Princess. What should we do in the future?"

Pan Chenghui flicked her handkerchief and looked at their livid faces, feeling more and more relieved. "It's cold in winter. If you are short of charcoal or other things, you sisters can come to me."

After saying that, she snorted coldly and left. She couldn't afford to offend the Crown Princess, so how could she not afford to offend these two fake phoenixes with their feathers plucked?

The He sisters could only leave Biyuan with full of resentment.

In the warm room of the inner hall, He Yue took off all the pearls and jade from her hair and sat on the chair. Xiao Lizi placed the red agate hairpin and other precious items in the dressing box.

Madam Lu used a jade comb to slowly comb her black and shiny hair. "Crown Princess, I forgot to remind you that you still need to choose some cloth and the right jewelry for He Liangdi and He Liangyuan. After all, they are new people."

They are all old servants in the palace, how could they forget the rules? They just wanted to curb the tempers of the He sisters. The Crown Princess has always been kind-hearted, so of course she has to play the villain. This is also the task that Eunuch Xiao Guanzi has been telling them.

"Give it here." He Yue said lightly, with calm eyes.

She understood some of the twists and turns, but she was just too lazy to say it. Whether it was Madam Lu, Little Taozi or Little Lizi, which one of them was truly loyal to her.

Xiao Taozi ran to get two booklets and some writing materials and presented them to him.

He Yue took one of the booklets, holding the brush, and read for a while, then drew a few circles on the words, "They are all still young, so pink and green Shu brocade will suit them better. Lotus root color and hibiscus color Yun brocade are also OK. He Liangyuan should get one piece of each color, four pieces in total, and He Liangdi should get two pieces of Fuguang color Yun brocade, six pieces in total."

"Yes, Crown Princess." Xiao Lizi took the booklet from He Yue's hand and presented another one.

"Choose jade, as jade nourishes people. Give each person a pair of jade bracelets. As for hairpins, give them orchid hairpins with gold wrapped around agate. He Liangdi will get a blue-and-gold hairpin as well." He Yue closed the booklet and put the pen on the pen holder.

"Yes." Xiao Lizi retreated with two booklets in her hands.

Xiao Taozi knelt on the ground serving with a bowl of water in her hand. After He Yue washed her hands, another second-class palace maid presented her with a snow-white brocade handkerchief.

At this time, Madam Lu also put a comfortable bun on He Yuewan's head and said something flattering, "The Crown Princess is truly a beauty, how can He Liangdi and He Liangyuan compare to her."

He Yue looked at herself in the bronze mirror, a little dazed. After this winter, she would be 25 years old, but she actually looked younger than before, with red lips, black eyebrows, and gorgeous clothes. She felt a little unfamiliar with them.

There was some noise at the palace door, and Xiao Guanzi came in, bowed his head, and said respectfully, "Crown Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be here tonight."

"Yes, I understand."

Xiao Guanzi's words suddenly brought He Yue back to reality. She frowned. Damn it! Yesterday's backache hasn't healed yet, and now he has to get a new one. Will being pure and abstinent cost him his life?

…………

In the Biyuan at night, palace lanterns were hung high, and palace servants were standing guard in the outer hall waiting to be summoned at any time. Xiao Taozi, as the head maid, personally went to watch the palace servants boil water.

Xiao Guanzi spoke softly to Nanny Lu with a gentle attitude, truly humble. The Crown Princess had been in the Eastern Palace for less than half a year and had been receiving constant favors. He saw that the other concubines in the Eastern Palace could not get any favor at all, so he treated Nanny Lu, who was close to the Crown Princess, better.

"The two daughters of the He family have a lot of hatred against our family. Thank you, Madam Lu, for dampening their arrogance today."

Madam Lu smiled so hard that her wrinkles popped out. "I am glad to be able to help you, sir."

At this time, the intermittent sobbing of a woman was heard in the hall. Both Lu Ma and Xiao Guanzi shut their mouths, pretending to be deaf.

They all knew that when the Crown Prince met the Crown Princess on the bed, he would always be incredibly fierce. A delicate person like the Crown Princess would often suffer some punishment, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would then put on a gentle temper to coax her afterwards.

Inside the bedroom, Ning Rusong grabbed He Yue's thin shoulders and kissed her lips, hot and passionately.

He Yue had fair skin and a red glow around her eyes. She put her arm around Ning Rusong's neck. She raised her head and said softly, "Your Highness, will you go to the Bai Mansion in person to congratulate Li Xiaoshu on his wedding tomorrow?"

The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the wedding day of Li Xiaoshu and Bai Huixian.

Ning Rushong held He Yue in his arms and sat her on his lap. His eyes were still filled with deep desire. He stroked her back and replied in a low voice, "Just send an imperial decree to congratulate him. He is not worthy of me going there in person now."

He Yue curled her fingers, raised her head slightly, and placed a kiss on Ning Rusong's thin lips. She reached out and held his thin waist again, "I want to go and take a look. I will go in casual clothes so as not to reveal my identity. No one outside the palace will recognize my face."

This is the truth. Apart from Li Xiaoshu, she has never met any other woman.

Ning Rusong's fingers on He Yue's waist moved slightly, his eyes were deep, and his tone was unclear, "Want to leave the palace?"

There was no expression on his handsome and dignified face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

He Yue hurriedly explained, "Li Xiaoshu is an old friend of mine after all. I will go and take a look and then return to the palace."

Li Xiaoshu was just an excuse to leave the palace, and the relationship between the two of them was almost gone.

He Yue knew her own limitations and knew she couldn't escape, but she had to go outside the palace to take a look. This was a rare legitimate reason and she couldn't miss it.

She was still arguing, her voice revealing a bit of urgency, "I will bring enough palace maids and guards with me, and have them stay with me all the time. I will return to the palace when the time comes."
