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

The cat leaped lightly and landed in He Yue's arms. Its snow-white tail fell from her arm, wagging proudly.

"Meow~"

He Yue sat on the couch holding it, her smoky red skirt spread out. She stroked its head with her hand and felt like she was sinking into a piece of plush. A smile spread across her delicate eyebrows.

"Does it have a name?" He Yue asked the palace maid, obviously very satisfied with the cat.

The maid said respectfully, "Princess, I don't have a name yet."

He Yue lowered her eyes, pinched the cat's pink paw, and said softly, "Your Highness, what name do you think we should give it?"

She had just gotten out of bed not long ago and didn't want to make any complicated hair accessories. Because of her bowed head, the mother-of-pearl hairpin on her bun was a little loose.

Ning Rusong, who was sitting next to her, raised her hand and pushed the mother-of-pearl hairpin into her bun. "Since it belongs to you, you can decide everything."

It is just like He Yue completely belongs to him.

He Yue ran her brightly painted fingers through the cat's white and soft fur. The cat rolled over in her arms, exposing its belly comfortably.

"Then let's call him Xiaoliu." He Yue said softly, shaking Xiaoliu, "Your belly is quite round."

The little fat cat looks like a blessed one.

"Hmm." Ning Rushong hummed lightly, then stood up, the hem of his blue robe cascading down with the movement.

"I'm going to handle official business and will come to accompany you in the evening." Ning Rushong also wanted to stay a little longer, but government affairs came first.

He Yue raised her eyes to look at him and said softly, "Farewell, Your Highness."

She thought it was okay not to accompany him at night.

After watching Ning Rushong leave, He Yue focused on petting the cat.

Inside Kunning Palace, the He sisters knelt on the ground and cried miserably.

They still didn't want to go back to the East Palace. He Liangdi covered her face with a silk handkerchief and said, "Aunt, please let me stay in Kunning Palace, or let me go home."

The Eastern Palace was indeed extremely wealthy, but not only could they not obtain it, they also suffered a lot.

He Liangyuan also quickly agreed, pulling at a small corner of Empress He's skirt, crying, "Aunt, this time we sisters did not receive an order to leave the Eastern Palace, and we will definitely be punished if we go back."

Empress He was irritated by these two useless people. Her graceful face showed a look of disappointment. She tapped the table slowly with her hand, "You are already concubines of the Eastern Palace. How can you live in Kunning Palace of our palace for a long time?"

"Have you ever heard of any imperial concubine being able to go home? You are such losers. You were the ones who wanted to enter the East Palace before, and now you are the ones crying and wanting to leave! You were actually bullied by Cheng Hui into such a state."

Empress He only now learned that the He sisters were being bullied by Pan Chenghui in the Eastern Palace.

The He sisters dared not speak, and lowered their heads and shed tears. Empress He was annoyed by the nagging, and waved her hand, "You can stay in Kunning Palace for the time being. I will talk to the prince in detail, and then send you back to the East Palace. You will not be punished."

The nanny helped Empress He to get up. Empress He finally softened her heart and sighed wearily. After all, in this deep palace, only the He sisters came to visit her from time to time, so there was still some family affection between them.

Could it be that the royal men are really unlucky for the He family’s girls?

The He sisters thanked him repeatedly. They had now completely given up the desire to compete for favor.

Empress He thought for a moment, and her voice was slightly cold. "Give Pan Chengwei a few teaching maids. How dare Cheng Hui treat concubines and ladies like this? The daughter of the He family is not something she can do to him."

…………

The moon is rising high above the horizon and dusk is falling.

He Yue sat comfortably on the low couch, holding a piece of exquisite pastry in her hand and eating slowly, with the cat curled up in her arms.

Ning Rushong hasn't come yet. He Yue is ready to turn off the lights and rest after another hour and ignore him.

Suddenly, a shrill cry came from outside, "Crown Princess, please save me!"

He Yue was slightly stunned for a moment, and fatigue slowly covered her pretty face. She was still restless in the middle of the night.

The cakes were placed on a delicate plate beside her. She gently ordered, "Madam Lu, go out and take a look. What happened?"

"Yes, Princess!" Nanny Lu accepted the order.

Outside the Biyuan, a thinly dressed woman was kneeling at the entrance of the palace and kowtowing. Her fingers were red from the cold and her charming face was full of pain.

The palace door was opened, and Madam Lu looked at her with surprise on her face, "Pan Chenghui, what happened to you?"

Pan Chenghui has always been arrogant, why does he look so embarrassed now!

Pan Chenghui choked up and shed tears, his face pale, "The Queen Mother will send a tutor at noon today."

"That nanny said that I was committing an insubordination and lacked etiquette and discipline, and she forced me to kneel for two hours!" Pan Chenghui raised his head, with resentment in his eyes, "She also said that this should be done every day in the future."

Nanny Lu understood that this was Empress He venting her anger on He Liangdi and He Liangyuan.

"Please wait a moment. I will go and report to the Crown Princess." Madam Lu said this and then closed the palace door.

Nanny Lu returned to the inner hall and explained the matter of Pan Chenghui to He Yue in detail.

He Yue's eyes were indifferent, and she stroked Xiao Liu from time to time with her hands, "She brought this upon herself, and now she feels wronged, and wants me to help her out."

What good would it be for her to be treated as a fool and confront Empress He over this matter?

Madam Lu nodded in agreement, "Pan Chenghui just thinks you are soft-hearted, Crown Princess. Don't pay any attention to him."

He Yue never liked dealing with these intrigues. She handed Xiao Liu to the maid next to her and said, "Help me wash up. I am tired."

If Pan Chenghui wants to kneel, then let him kneel.

The curtains in the bedroom fell, the palace maid turned off the lights, and He Yue lay on the bed with her eyes closed, her long black hair spread out.

She originally thought she couldn't fall asleep, but sleepiness gradually overcame her and she fell asleep.

After a while, she vaguely felt that someone was holding her in his arms.

Ning Rusongchui looked at He Yue's delicate face. She buried herself in his arms as usual. She seemed to have sobered up a little and mumbled, "Why did your highness come so late?"

Ning Rusong gently stroked her back, and Jun Yong's cold face softened a little, "There are some things to deal with."

As the end of the year approaches, envoys from various countries are coming in an endless stream, and it is indeed quite busy.

When He Yue was about to fall asleep again, she heard Ning Rushong's cold and elegant voice.

"If Yueyue doesn't want to worry about Pan Chenghui's troubles, Xiao Guanzi will naturally take care of them."

He was obviously speaking softly and was extremely considerate, but He Yue suddenly came to her senses and felt a chill in her heart.

Ning Rushong was well aware of what was happening around her. Pan Chenghui had just been kneeling at the entrance of the Biyuan Palace not long ago, and he immediately got the news.

Madam Lu and every palace servant in Biyuan are his eyes. He probably knows every word she says casually.

She felt a little cold, but she could only shrink into Ning Rushong's arms.
