The Poisonous Concubine is alive

Chapter 113 Palace Banquet

The family lived a happy and fulfilling life.

Liu Yunrou smiled and leaned on Ye Chenxuan's shoulder, "Our family will always be happy."

However, the happy life did not last long. One day, Ye Chenxuan received a mysterious invitation to treat a patient of prominent status.

Although he was a little confused, he decided to go. After Ye Chenxuan left home, Liu Yunrou felt uneasy. A few days passed, and Ye Chenxuan still didn't return. Liu Yunrou began to worry.

She asked around for news about Ye Chenxuan, but to no avail. Just when she was getting extremely anxious, a letter was delivered to her.

The contents of the letter made her heart ache. It turned out that Ye Chenxuan had contracted a rare disease while treating a patient and was in critical condition. Liu Yunrou could not accept this fact and decided to go find Ye Chenxuan in person.

Ye Chenxuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will come back as soon as possible." Ye Chenxuan hugged the child, said goodbye to Liu Yunrou, and then resolutely embarked on his journey.

In the magnificent palace, Crown Prince Ye Chenxuan, dressed in luxurious attire, stood solemnly before his father. He clasped his hands together, slowly bowed, and performed standard court etiquette. The atmosphere in the palace was solemn, and the courtiers held their breath and gazed.

Ye Chenxuan said in a resounding voice, his face full of respect: "I, your son, thank you for your years of nurturing me. I am able to inherit the throne today thanks to your teachings. From now on, I will do my utmost to work for the prosperity of the country and the well-being of the people. Please rest assured, your son will live up to your expectations, abide by our ancestral family rules, and work for the well-being of the people of the world."

Upon hearing this, the emperor smiled with satisfaction and nodded gently. He extended his hand, helped Ye Chenxuan up, and said earnestly, "My son, from now on, you must shoulder the heavy responsibility of the nation, always keep the people's livelihood in mind, govern diligently and care for the people, and spread the spirit of our royal family. I believe that you will become a wise ruler and lead our country to prosperity."

Ye Chenxuan saluted once more, expressing his gratitude to his father. At this moment, all the ministers knelt, shouting "Long live the emperor!" and congratulating the new emperor on his ascension to the throne. In this solemn atmosphere, Ye Chenxuan officially began his imperial career.

The emperor sat upright on the dragon throne, his gaze as sharp as a torch and his demeanor dignified. He examined Ye Chenxuan and spoke slowly in a low, powerful voice: "Crown Prince Ye Chenxuan, I have observed that your words and actions are quite royal, and I am very pleased. I am handing over my foundation to you today, which is a testament to my trust and expectations. The throne is no joke. I hope you will remember that as a ruler, you must prioritize state affairs and the people, be strict with yourself, and be lenient with others."

The emperor paused briefly, his gaze sweeping across the courtiers present, and continued, "You must all bear my teachings in mind. From now on, anyone who acts in a rebellious and unrighteous manner, regardless of who it is, will be severely punished. Ye Chenxuan, as the crown prince, you must lead by example, live up to my trust, and live up to the people of the world."

After his words, his father's eyes revealed an undeniable majesty, an aura of royalty honed over the years, causing everyone present to bow their heads in awe. Ye Chenxuan bowed his head in obedience, responding respectfully, "I obey your command. I will live up to your teachings and serve our country and our people with all my heart, until my death."

After a busy day of government affairs, Crown Prince Ye Chenxuan finally found a moment of leisure and returned to his own palace. Here, his eldest son, a three-year-old child, was being cared for by his wet nurse. Seeing Ye Chenxuan enter, the wet nurse bowed respectfully and quietly withdrew.

Ye Chenxuan walked to the cradle and looked at his child's sleeping face. A warm feeling welled up in his heart. He gently picked up the child. The little one moved uneasily in his father's warm embrace, then fell back into a deep sleep. Ye Chenxuan's eyes were filled with love, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, revealing a happy smile.

"That's great, my child. You are the best gift God has given me." Ye Chenxuan murmured softly, his fingers gently brushing the child's cheek, feeling the softness and dependence.

At that moment, all the political hassles seemed to vanish, and he was just an ordinary father, immersed in the simple joy of being with his child. Ye Chenxuan's heart was filled with anticipation, looking forward to his child's healthy growth, looking forward to educating his child into a virtuous and talented royal heir in the future.

The child's breathing was steady and subtle. Ye Chenxuan held him, rocking him gently, savoring this rare moment of peace and warmth. He knew that this joy and responsibility would be the most unwavering driving force for his future. After a day of official duties, the Emperor walked calmly into the Crown Prince's palace. He had long heard that Crown Prince Ye Chenxuan had given birth to a son, and his heart was filled with anticipation and curiosity about this grandson. Upon entering the palace, the Emperor's gaze was immediately drawn to the little grandson in the cradle.

Upon seeing his father arrive, Crown Prince Ye Chenxuan quickly and respectfully saluted, then gently handed the child in his arms to the Emperor. The Emperor extended his hands and carefully took the tiny life, a gentle light flashing in his eyes, a tenderness that only appeared when facing a loved one.

"Haha, look at this little guy, he really inherited the aura of the royal blood." The emperor's voice was filled with joy that was hard to conceal. His fingers gently touched the little hand of his grandson, and the delicate touch made him even happier.

Ye Chenxuan was standing by the window, his back to Liu Yunrou. His figure looked lonely and heavy in the moonlight. Liu Yunrou walked forward gently, her steps light and trying not to make any noise. She wanted to give Ye Chenxuan some comfort in this quiet night.

As she approached, Ye Chenxuan seemed to sense her presence and turned, their eyes meeting in mid-air. A flicker of worry flashed across Liu Yunrou's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a warm smile. She knew that as the Crown Prince, Ye Chenxuan shouldered too much responsibility and pressure, and all she could do was be his strongest support.

"Chenxuan, you are thinking here alone again." Liu Yunrou's voice was soft and concerned. She gently held Ye Chenxuan's hand, conveying her warmth and support.

Ye Chenxuan smiled back, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes, as if in front of Liu Yunrou, he could put down the burden of being a crown prince and just be an ordinary husband. He held Liu Yunrou's hand in return, feeling the strength from his wife.

"Yun Rou, as long as you are here, I have nothing to fear." Ye Chenxuan said affectionately, his words were full of dependence and trust in Liu Yun Rou.

At this moment, the two of them didn't need to say much; their eyes and gestures were enough to express the deep feelings between them. Beyond the complexities and intrigues of the palace, they found... "Yun Rou, sometimes I really wish time could stop at this moment, without the disputes of the court, just the peaceful life of our family." Ye Chenxuan sighed softly.

Liu Yunrou reached out and smoothed Ye Chenxuan's furrowed brow, comforting him, "Your Majesty and the ministers all know your ability and benevolence. You will definitely be able to govern the country well and ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment."

Ye Chenxuan hugged Liu Yunrou tightly, "I can only feel at ease with you by my side. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must face them together."

Outside the window, a bright moon hung high, casting a cool glow. Ye Chenxuan and Liu Yunrou, leaning on each other, were like the most beautiful scenery in the palace. A peaceful world of their own.

For the past few days, Ye Chenxuan had been obsessed with the thought of sharing some intimate time with the Crown Princess. Since giving birth, the Crown Princess had been busy caring for the Emperor's grandson, and the two of them hadn't had much time together. After the full moon banquet today, he could finally find a reason to be alone with the Crown Princess.

During the banquet, Ye Chenxuan's eyes always involuntarily turned to the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess seemed to feel his feelings, and would return him a gentle look from time to time, which made Ye Chenxuan feel warm in his heart.

As the banquet progressed, ministers came forward one after another to present gifts, and words of blessing were heard everywhere. Although Ye Chenxuan maintained the dignity of a prince, he was already looking forward to meeting the Crown Princess after the banquet.

"Your Highness, this is a pair of jade pendants that this old minister has prepared for you and the Crown Princess. I wish you a long and happy marriage." An elderly minister presented a carefully selected gift.

Ye Chenxuan took the jade pendant and expressed his gratitude with a smile: "Thank you, old sir. I will treasure this gift with the Crown Princess."

Finally, the full moon banquet drew to a close amidst laughter and joy. The ministers gradually withdrew, and Ye Chenxuan, citing the need for rest, ended the banquet. He could not wait to return to his chambers, leaving the eunuchs and maids busy packing up the gifts.

In the bedroom, Ye Chenxuan and the Crown Princess smiled at each other, both of them understanding each other's feelings. On this special night, they could finally let go of the constraints of their status and enjoy the tranquility and intimacy that belonged to them.

Liu Yunrou had always believed her life would be smooth sailing. Born into a wealthy family, she had lived a life of ease and comfort since childhood. She was intelligent, excelled academically, and was well-liked by her teachers and classmates. She was Liu Yunrou.

Today everyone gave gifts.

Just as Ye Chenxuan and Liu Yunrou were pouring out their hearts to each other, a soft cry shattered the silence. They immediately looked towards the crib and saw their little grandson, the future heir to the throne, waving his hands nervously, a look of sleepiness and confusion on his face.

Liu Yunrou gently withdrew her hand and turned to walk towards the crib, her steps gentle and quick. Ye Chenxuan followed his wife's steps, and together they came to the child. Liu Yunrou leaned over, caressing the child's face with the tenderness of motherly love, and coaxed softly: "What's wrong, my little baby, did you dream about something?"

The child seemed to feel the warmth of his mother, and his crying gradually subsided. He opened his eyes, and when he saw Liu Yunrou, his clear eyes instantly bloomed into an innocent smile. Ye Chenxuan watched this scene, and a warm current surged in his heart. He reached out and carefully teased the child's hand.

"Look, our child is so cute. He will definitely become a wise ruler in the future." Ye Chenxuan said proudly, his eyes full of longing for the future.

Liu Yunrou smiled and nodded. She gently picked up the child, let the child lean on her shoulder, and patted the child's back. Ye Chenxuan stood aside, gently touching the child's bun with his fingers, which showed the endless love and expectations of a father for his child.

In this heartwarming family scene, Crown Prince Ye Chenxuan and Crown Princess Liu Yunrou, as well as their little grandson, form a perfect picture of a royal family, showing the ordinariness and warmth of royal family members as ordinary parents and children beyond power and glory.
