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

Under the ancient tree, He Yue was lying on a rocking chair, her face covered with an embroidered handkerchief, her skirt spread out and hanging on the ground. Ning Rushong stood quietly in front of her without saying a word.

As he stared at her, his mood gradually calmed down. He couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently took off the embroidered handkerchief from her face, revealing her slightly red face.

Ning Rushong found it difficult to describe his current mood. His usually cold and hard heart was softened, and a numbing feeling flowed through his limbs and throughout his body.

The sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches onto He Yue's face. She half-asleep and half-awake, her still confused eyes open. Her thoughts were not clear yet. She looked at the blue sky and the swaying branches. For a moment, she thought she was back in Lijia Village. She murmured, "I haven't asked Aunt Fang for the debt yet. I'll ask Li Xiaoshu to go there later."

"Yueyue was really confused in her sleep. Aunt Fang is in Lijia Village, and Li Xiaoshu is in Bai Mansion." Ning Rushong's voice was clear and calm, like a sword that could split open sleep, and it instantly brought He Yue back to reality.

He Yue glanced to the side, and a handsome face came into her sight. It was Ning Rushong. This was the Biyuan Courtyard of the East Palace. She was really confused after sleeping so much.

"Why did Your Highness return in the afternoon?" He Yue changed the subject. She sat up, her jet-black hair falling on her shoulders and neck, and the blanket folded on her legs.

"Today's official duties are less than usual." Ning Rushong replied to her, leaned over and picked up He Yue with one hand. The blanket fell completely to the ground, and Xiao Taozi hurriedly picked it up from behind.

"Hey!" He Yue was picked up unexpectedly and was a little startled. She held Ning Rushong's neck tightly with her hands. There was no distance between them. The cold woody scent wrapped her tightly.

Ning Rushong stretched out his free hand to support her back, applying a little force. He Yue could only cling to him tightly, like a vine around a branch, with no other choice.

He suddenly had other thoughts. He wanted to be more forceful and hold He Yue in his arms, day and night, year after year.

"Your Highness, this is too sudden." He Yue complained, then softened and stopped struggling.

"Although the weather has warmed up, the sun is still a little cold. Yueyue, don't stay outside for too long." Ning Rushong patted her back gently, speaking gently.

He Yue nodded, her eyes fell on Ning Rusong's collar, which was a little messy. She couldn't help but reach out her hand to smooth it out, "I know."

Ning Rushong noticed He Yue's actions, which he thought were covert, and a gentle look appeared in his eyes. He slowly carried He Yue back to the warm room in the inner hall.

Outside the hall, Xiao Guanzi's face darkened. The pressure from the chief eunuch made the palace maids in the Biyuan bow their heads one after another. Xiao Guanzi ordered the other palace maids to enter the hall to serve, and only left Madam Lu behind.

"Yes, Eunuch Guan!" The palace servants lowered their heads and walked quickly into the hall.

Xiao Guanzi pulled Madam Lu to a secluded place and said in a low voice, "Madam Lu, you have become bolder. If the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Punishment had not mentioned it to me, I really would not have known that Xiao Lizi had been punished in the Ministry of Punishment. Why did she become disloyal, but you were so soft-hearted that you could not bear to punish her and only let her receive a light punishment?!"

The main reason was that the timing of Xiao Lizi's punishment was too coincidental, and Xiao Guanzi couldn't help but think about it.

Nanny Lu has extensive connections in the Eastern Palace, but they are nothing compared to Xiao Guanzi. If it were any other matter, Xiao Guanzi would have turned a blind eye to it, but this time it was an order issued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, prohibiting any palace servants with ulterior motives from staying by the Crown Princess' side, and they must all be dealt with.

If the servants are disloyal, what's the point of keeping them?

"How dare you cover up for them! I remember that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specifically instructed you to keep a close eye on Little Taozi and Little Li." Xiao Guanzi's face was gloomy and his tone was unfriendly.

This old maid has been shrewd all her life, but now she is old she has picked up ridiculous kindness.

Madam Lu fell to her knees with a plop. Her face was ashen and she almost collapsed. Her voice was trembling. "That little Lizi is a loyal person. She is just young and said something wrong. I told her to go to the Ministry of Punishment to learn her lesson."

Naturally, she would not accept the crime of sheltering someone, otherwise she would suffer the same fate as Xiao Lizi.

She was soft-hearted for a moment! She regretted it now!

Xiao Guanzi sneered, turned the whisk in his hand, his brows were sinister, and his tone was drawn out, "Madam Lu, since you say so, I will believe you this time."

Before Aunt Lu could breathe a sigh of relief, Xiao Guanzi leaned over and approached her, and said coldly, "Aunt Lu, you have to keep an eye on Xiao Lizi. Her life is now tied to yours, so you have to be careful!"

This is the truth. If Xiao Lizi ever shows signs of being unfaithful, it will be Nanny Lu's fault. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not let her off either. This is the consequence of being soft-hearted in the East Palace.

…………

In the warm room, Ning Rushong was standing with a tall posture, broad shoulders and narrow waist, an extremely eye-catching figure.

He Yue held the ink-colored waistband in her hand, tied it around his waist, stepped back a few steps to look at him, and then boasted, "My craftsmanship is really exquisite. This waistband makes Your Highness more majestic."

This was pure nonsense. Ning Rusong had never used a waist belt worse than this one. He just embroidered a few bamboos. However, he thought of the overly fat crane, so he nodded in agreement, "Yueyue's craftsmanship is indeed superb."

As the eunuch following Ning Rushong held the exquisite and elegant waist belt in his hands, he felt for the first time that the wise and mighty Crown Prince had been bewitched by the Crown Princess. The Land of Tenderness was truly terrifying!

He Yue felt relieved after hearing this, and pulled Ning Rusong to sit on the couch together. She hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Your Highness, do you have a way to make Bai Huixian and Xia Suling divorce?"

Ning Rushong raised his arms and held He Yue in his arms, then waved his hand to let the palace servants leave.

He did not ask why He Yue asked this. His handsome face was calm. He lowered his eyes and said firmly, "Yueyue, Bai Huixian will go crazy. Xia Suling is the other half of Bai Huixian. It seems that Xia Suling is controlled by Bai Huixian, but in fact, Bai Huixian is being severely controlled."

Ning Rusong was well aware of other people's thoughts and was happy to play with them. He wrapped He Yue's hand in his own. He seemed to still be indifferent to other people's love. His voice was clear and casual, "Bai Huixian has been doing a good job recently. I have no reason to break them up."

So what if they are a pair of resentful lovers, so what if they torture each other, Ning Rushong does not care about the private affairs of his subordinates, as long as they have talent and can do their job, that's enough.

Ning Rusong held He Yue's beautiful face in his hands and said, "Yueyue, don't worry about them. I will take you to Tianhe Temple to pray for blessings tomorrow. The New Year will be in three days."

The He family is a family with a history of three hundred years. Tianhe Temple was built by the He family two hundred years ago. It can be said to be a private temple, and they never entertain outsiders on weekdays.

The He family has a tradition that in the first year after a man's marriage, he must take his new wife to pray for blessings before the New Year. Of course, if a He family girl gets married, she must also take her new husband to pray for blessings.

Ask for a talisman to bless you to stay together for the rest of your life.

This morning, it was the Southern Prince who mentioned this to Ning Rushong, and his tone was still indignant. "So what if she is the Queen? Emperor Jingmu did not accompany her to the Tianhe Temple to pray for blessings. At this time, it was I who went to the Tianhe Temple to ask for a talisman for her and sent it to the palace. As the legitimate daughter of the He family, it is impossible for her to not even have this after her marriage."

While Ning Rushong was perfunctorily answering King Nan's question, he thought that since he was half a member of the He family, He Yue should also have a talisman.
