The Prince Consort's Beloved

Butler Zhao stamped his feet anxiously: "Hey, my Lord, what are you talking about?"

Butler Zhao glared at the door and said, "Are you two here to be door gods? Hurry up and stop the prince."

Ye San scratched his ears, but Ye Liu turned a deaf ear and stood still.

What a joke, stop him? They couldn't stop him, they were eager for the prince to leave, so that they would have a mission.

It would have been fine if they had nothing to do these days, but recently they were constantly being forced by the prince to duel with swords, and both of them were scared of being beaten.

Under the anxious and helpless gaze of Butler Zhao, Li Yanchen threw his bag and left.

Butler Zhao trotted behind and kept calling "Prince".

Ye San and Ye Liu looked at each other and followed with a smile.

Good days are coming. They just saw that the prince stuffed a lot of banknotes into his bag. From now on, let that old guy Ye Si stay and suffer.

...............

Li Yuanrou spent a lonely New Year's Eve.

Daya was already in a bad mood, and on the evening of New Year's Eve she received another letter from Qingfeng.

Li Yuanrou pretended to be indifferent, but she felt extremely uncomfortable inside.

She asked Daya who sent the letter to the princess's mansion, and Daya said she didn't know.

She couldn't find the person to deliver the letter, so she wanted to write a letter to Xiao Luobai on her own initiative. It was difficult to send letters amid the ongoing war. She remembered that Xiao Luobai had escort agencies in various places, and guessed that the letter should have been sent by the escort agencies, but she knew nothing about the situation and had no idea where to start.

Qingluan saw that her master looked listless and wondered whether she should tell her about "Chenghuan Garden" to divert her attention.

That day, she flew into a yard during the fight with Ye San. The fight was fierce at that time, but she was suddenly shocked by the furnishings in the yard and stopped. The towering tree was almost exactly the same as the one in the Qingmei Garden. There was also a swing hanging under the tree, but there was a lot of dust on the swing.

No wonder Prince Yun was so adept at building the swing in the Qingmei Garden that time. He must have practiced it a long time ago.

Qingluan wanted to go into the bedroom to take a look, but was stopped by Ye San. When she left the yard, she deliberately looked back and saw "Chenghuan Garden".

Enjoy the company of your loved ones.

This name, coupled with the familiar furnishings in the courtyard, shows that it is undoubtedly a courtyard prepared for the master of this house.

Qingluan hesitated again and again, but finally said nothing.

That day, she saw her master coming out of Prince Yun's Mansion with red eyes, and guessed that it must be related to Prince Yun. If she told him, she would cry again, and her eyes could not bear it any more.

In fact, Qingzhou had noticed that courtyard when he was climbing over the eaves and walls in Prince Yun's Mansion that day, but Qingzhou didn't want to get involved in matters that were irrelevant to him, so he didn't bother to say anything more.

In this way, Li Yuanrou spent an extremely sad year in the mansion.

Li Yuanrou's belly was bulging, her body was getting heavier, and she was less and less willing to move. She had been worried about why her belly was not getting bigger even though the second trimester was almost over, but now it had suddenly grown.

The obvious fetal movement gave her a moment of joy, temporarily pulling her out of the sadness of not receiving Xiao Luobai's letter.

She lazily curled up on the couch, wondering what Xiao Luobai's expression would be when he found out that she was pregnant, whether he would be overjoyed or shocked.

She listened to the whistling wind outside. Winter was almost over and spring was not far away.

When spring comes and flowers bloom, will he be able to come back? If he comes back and sees her with a big belly...

Hmm...it seems not very easy to hug.

As she thought about it, her eyes became a little moist.

There seem to be many people in this world who are good to her, but no one can replace Xiao Luobai.

She murmured his name and fell asleep unknowingly.

Warmth slowly surrounded me from behind, and his voice came to my ears again.

"Why are your eyes so red and swollen?"

"Missing you is too painful. I can't bear to leave you."

"No hurry, hold me for a while..."

Every word that came out of his lips and teeth sounded to her as if it was a cold winter with heavy snow. She sat leaning against the window, slowly savoring a cup of steaming good tea. The curling tea aroma spread, creating a hazy atmosphere.

The warm tea slid from my mouth into my throat, and my whole body felt warm.

There was a knock on the door.

The voice in the dream ended with this sentence: "Rou'er, are you tired? I'm sorry for making my Rou'er suffer..."

Li Yuanrou was in a daze for a moment before she got up from the couch, and the warmth in her dream disappeared in an instant.

She wrapped a cloak around herself listlessly.

Daya opened the door and said, "Princess, Ye Si is here."

Ye Si brought in two jars of wine and placed them on the eight-immortal table.

Li Yuanrou looked at him lazily and asked curiously, "Why are you giving me wine? I can't drink it."

Ye Si looked disdainful and said, "Aren't you greedy? Don't you want to smell it? This wine was specially prepared for you by your father because he was afraid that you would suffer from insomnia. It's okay to drink a little."

In fact, Li Yuanrou had begun to feel sleepy again recently, but she was still perked up when she heard that she could drink a small amount of alcohol, and asked, "Really?"

Ye Si sneered: "Look at how greedy you are, you are such a greedy girl."

Li Yuanrou's expression turned cold: "What's wrong with you? Did I provoke you? Why do you always speak with sarcasm? Even if you are Lao Li's man, you can't be so rude to me."

When Ye Si heard the words "Lao Li", he became furious. After Li Yuanrou left that day, the prince forced him to compete with him again. It was said to be a sword competition, but it was obvious that the prince was taking out his anger on him. He was beaten by the prince and was only let go when he was almost unable to stand up.

Ye Si said unhappily, "Speaking of being rude, I want to ask the princess, which daughter would directly call her father by his name? This is a violation of the rules and is extremely disrespectful, understand?"

He said sarcastically: "My advice to you is to stay away from the rain in the future. I'm afraid that the thunder in the sky will strike you, an unfilial daughter."

Li Yuanrou was so angry when she heard this that she felt her whole body was no longer cold. This Ye Si, every time he spoke to her, he either called her your father or your father, or she was an unfilial daughter.

She suddenly thought of something, her expression relaxed, and she asked softly, "Ye Si, have you married yet?"

Ye Si looked at her warily and asked suspiciously, "No, what's wrong? Are you going to propose to me?"

Li Yuanrou chuckled: "You have such a vicious tongue. If I propose marriage to you, wouldn't that be a disaster for the girl? So you haven't proposed marriage at your age. Is it because your tongue is too vicious and no one wants you?"

Ye Si choked, then glared and changed the subject: "Didn't you say you would pray to Buddha and ask for talismans for our prince? Why don't you keep your word?"

Seeing that Li Yuanrou didn't say anything, he pressed on, "Where's the talisman? Did you ask for it? I said you have no conscience, and I didn't wrong you at all. You really have no conscience."

Li Yuanrou said nonchalantly: "Isn't he awake already?"

Ye Si was blunt and said in a somewhat aggressive tone: "When you wake up, why don't you go check on him..."

He braked immediately.

I almost blurted out the word "old man" just now. Words like old are absolutely not allowed to be mentioned in their palace nowadays. Whoever mentions it will be unlucky.

But it makes people even more angry when they think that the series of consequences caused by the taboo word "old" were caused by the culprit Li Yuanrou.

She got so angry that she ran away, and the Night Shadow Guards were in a miserable situation during this period.

Ye Si said with annoyance: "Your father just woke up, he is not well yet. If he had recovered, he would have come to see you a long time ago. Unlike you..."

As he spoke, his voice dropped a little, and he said unnaturally: "Also, the doctor said that the poison has penetrated into his lungs, and it is not so easy to cure, so... Actually, your father has not been in good condition in recent days, and the prince is not in the mansion. He has no relatives around him now. Do you want to go see him..."

Ye Si convinced himself in his heart that this was a white lie, and the prince would not blame him even if he knew. Ever since the prince had been idle in the mansion, he felt that he was no longer like a secret guard, but more like an old nanny who worried about all the masters in the family.

He sighed angrily in his heart. This should be Lao Zhao's job. Forget it. After all, he is the prince's personal bodyguard.
