After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day

Zhu Qing'an naturally didn't know that her words had made her aunt and Bian Jingsheng think more deeply and change their thinking.

If Zhu Qing'an knew about this, he would only be happy with their decision.

Zhu Qing'an had just come out of the Cining Palace, and whether it was a coincidence or not, he happened to run into His Majesty who was accompanying the Imperial Concubine.

He was quite resistant in his heart, but his expression was flawless.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Zhu Qing'an bowed slightly, the hairpin in her bun not moving at all.

"Looking at her from afar, I thought she was a fairy descending to earth. When I got closer, I realized it was my cousin!" The emperor looked at Zhu Qing'an like a cat smelling fish, his eyes glued to her exquisite figure.

Zhu Qing'an felt goosebumps all over her body. She had heard that in the years since the emperor ascended the throne, he not only recruited many beautiful women and had countless concubines in the palace, but he also plundered many girls from good families and even took the wives of ministers into the palace.

Such behavior is simply too numerous to list.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. When it comes to beauty, the Imperial Concubine is naturally the most stunning. I feel so ashamed in front of her!" Zhu Qing'an said with a forced smile.

At this time, the imperial concubine leaned in the emperor's arms like a boneless woman, her green nails touching the emperor's chest, wanton and charming.

"Princess Yongfu is really too modest. I am ashamed of my beauty compared to yours!" The imperial concubine seemed to be jealous, but her eyes when she looked at Zhu Qing'an were full of gloating.

"Your Highness is absolutely right! Shen Qing is so lucky!" The emperor held the Royal Highness's soft and boneless little hand, and his eyes fell on Zhu Qing'an with an increasingly presumptuous and sticky look, like a snake spitting out its tongue.

Seeing that the emperor had already made up his mind, the imperial concubine frowned slightly.

Over the years, the emperor had seen all kinds of beauties in the palace, including pure, lovely, enchanting, and aloof, but he had never seen a woman as bright and dazzling as Qing An.

She doesn't need to do anything, just a look is enough to make people's hearts beat fast.

Thinking about how the empress dowager had always been against him in recent days, and now looking at the pampered and beautiful Zhu Qing'an, the emperor felt very itchy.

The more he couldn't get it, the more he longed for it. What's more, the emperor knew very well that Zhu Qing'an was the weak spot of the Empress Dowager and the Marquis of Wen'an. If he could really take Zhu Qing'an into the harem, he wouldn't be afraid that the Empress Dowager and the Marquis of Wen'an would disobey his orders.

"The Imperial Concubine has held a banquet in the palace, inviting the princes and ladies of the ministers' families to fly kites. Princess Yongfu must come that day!" The Imperial Concubine said lazily.

Zhu Qing'an remembered that there was indeed an invitation handed to her by the Imperial Concubine in the study, but she and the Imperial Concubine had never gotten along, especially the last time she and Bian Jingsheng almost made a big mistake at the Imperial Concubine's banquet, so she had always been wary of the Imperial Concubine.

"The princess has nothing to do these days, so she will definitely go. I will send someone to the Marquis Wen'an's mansion to pick up the princess!" The emperor looked at Zhu Qing'an with a smile, and his words contained an order that could not be refuted.

Zhu Qingan also knew that she could not disobey, so she could only bow and agree, "Your servant will definitely come as promised!"

The person on the throne is Bian Licheng. Zhu Qing'an knows that she cannot have any intention of resisting. Not only she cannot, but even her aunt cannot.

Zhu Qing'an politely declined the imperial concubine's "good intention" to keep her for dinner and couldn't wait to leave the palace.

As soon as she left the palace, she heard Wangshu, who was waiting outside, say in her ear, "Princess, the Madam took Miss Yang to Linglong Pavilion and Luoshangfang and bought her a lot of things!"

When Wangshu mentioned this, his face was full of anger.

It’s not that Wangshu is jealous, his own princess has all the good things, but the jewelry in Linglong Pavilion are really not good enough, and Wangshu just feels aggrieved.

After all, the lady had never bought any jewelry or clothes for the princess over the years. Now that Miss Yang had come to Ancheng, the lady was pampering her with such eager eyes, which made people feel heartbroken.

"Look how angry you are! It's just some jewelry and clothes for a girl. Your princess doesn't care about them!" Zhu Qing'an said indifferently, "Let her do whatever she wants, but don't let her mother make a fool of herself!"

Wangshu nodded. As soon as everyone returned home, Zhu Qing'an was invited to Qu Garden by his second sister.

"Greetings, Princess!" Aunt Qu saw Zhu Qing'an stand up and salute, and first handed over the clothes she had embroidered for Zhu Qing'an these days.

Zhu Qing'an stroked the intricate patterns on the dress and said with a smile, "Auntie, your embroidery is really exquisite, but the needlework hurts my eyes. From now on, Auntie, please don't worry about these things!"

"It's just a few pieces of clothing, it's no problem, as long as the princess likes it!" Aunt Qu stood up to make tea. Even though she was favored last night, she still didn't look complacent today.

"I asked the princess to come here today because the Marquis asked me to continue to take care of the affairs of the mansion, but the lady has paid a considerable amount of money from the account office. I cannot stop it, but the expense is really not small. I want to ask the princess for some advice!" Aunt Qu said, and handed another list to Zhu Qing'an.

Zhu Qing'an took a quick look and thought, wow, that Miss Yang had just entered the mansion yesterday, but her good mother had made detailed arrangements for her in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"Since this is what mother wants, Auntie should just follow her. After all, Miss Yang has done mother a favor!" Zhu Qing'an said clearly.

"I understand!" Aunt Qu said thoughtfully.

"Eldest sister, here!" Zhu Baiwei handed the freshly peeled pine nuts to Zhu Qing'an. Zhu Qing'an took them and tasted a few. Looking at Aunt Qu who was sitting beside her, she spoke.

"Now that father is willing to stay at Quyuan, Auntie, please don't drink the contraceptive soup anymore!"

After hearing this, Aunt Qu was not surprised that Zhu Qing'an knew about her drinking the contraceptive soup. After all, it seemed that Zhu Qing'an had no prestige in the mansion, but Aunt Qu knew very well who the master was in the Marquis Wen'an's mansion, and she never wanted to hide anything.

"This..." Aunt Qu hesitated. Although Marquis Wen'an did not let her drink the contraceptive soup, she did not want to break the rules.

"The family has lost its descendants, so you just need to let nature take its course!" Zhu Qing'an comforted her. As for the relationship between her mother and father, it still had to come to an end.

Aunt Qu agreed. She was no longer young and did not expect to have a child to compete for favor. She just hoped that her life would go smoothly.

"The imperial concubine will hold a banquet in the palace in a few days. Let my second sister go with me!" Zhu Qing'an ordered.

"This?" Aunt Qu hesitated. She naturally knew Zhu Qing'an's good intentions, but it was a palace banquet, and concubines' daughters would never attend.

"I'll take care of everything. Second sister, do you want to go?" Zhu Qing'an asked Zhu Baiwei beside her. Although she had taken Zhu Baiwei to several aristocratic family banquets, there were not many aristocratic ladies in Ancheng who knew Zhu Baiwei, and Zhu Qing'an also wanted to take Zhu Baiwei with her to broaden her horizons.

No matter good or bad, only by seeing more and experiencing more can you gain more knowledge.

"Of course I want to go!" Zhu Baiwei said, looking at Aunt Qu pleadingly, "Aunt, please let me go. I won't cause trouble for my elder sister!"

Aunt Qu shook her head helplessly. As she looked at her daughter who had grown into a graceful young lady, she knew that she was getting older and it was time for her to meet a man.

She was just a concubine, so it was naturally not her turn to make the decision on such matters. Generally, the marriages of concubines' daughters in a family were arranged by the mistress of the house, but the mistress of the Wen'an Marquis's mansion never cared about these trivial matters.

Aunt Qu was also afraid that if the lady was unhappy and promised her daughter to a man of bad moral character, it would ruin her daughter's life.

Compared to the lady, Aunt Qu trusts the princess more. If the princess is in charge, her daughter's marriage will definitely not be too bad.

"Then let the princess worry about it. If Bai Wei does anything wrong, the princess will just reprimand and punish her!" Aunt Qu smiled apologetically, then looked at her daughter coldly and said sternly, "The princess treats you well and cares about you. You must be of one mind with the princess when you are outside. You must not cause trouble for the princess!"

Zhu Qing'an listened and just smiled without saying anything.

"Don't worry, aunt!" Zhu Baiwei said with her eyebrows lowered, and secretly swore in her heart that she would obey her elder sister's instructions in this life.

Just as I returned to Yongfu Courtyard from Quyuan, I saw Aunt Banxia standing outside the courtyard. When she saw Zhu Qingan, she lost her usual arrogance and bowed obediently.

"Why is Aunt Banxia here?" Zhu Qing'an walked into the house and sat down. The maid beside her hurriedly presented her with freshly brewed flower tea.

Aunt Banxia smiled awkwardly and rubbed her hands.

Before, Aunt Banxia only looked at Zhu Qing'an because he was filial and kind, and she often relied on him. But now she has also witnessed Zhu Qing'an's cruelty and methods, so naturally she dare not act rashly.

"Madam sent me here!" Aunt Banxia reported. Although she found it difficult to speak, she still managed to say, "Madam knows that the princess has some Shu brocade material and wants to use it!"

After these words were spoken, Wangshu could no longer stand.

"Aunt, you're so bold! Shu brocade is worth its weight in gold, and even our princess only got one piece this year! Besides, I'm sure this Shu brocade isn't what Madam wants to use, is it?"

Aunt Banxia's face turned red, and she knew she couldn't hide it anymore.

"Yes...I'm making a dress for Miss Yang! After all, Miss Yang has done Madam a favor, so it's only natural for Madam to be a little nice to Miss Yang!"

"Oh! Madam is so kindhearted, why hasn't she sent a piece of cloth to the princess in all these years? Miss Yang is too precious now! Besides, what does Miss Yang need Shu brocade for?"

Aunt Banxia glanced at Zhu Qingan evasively and gritted her teeth, "The Imperial Concubine is hosting a banquet, and Madam is planning to take Miss Yang to see it, but Miss Yang is short of clothes!"

After hearing these words, Wangshu was so angry that smoke seemed to come out of his head.

"That was a palace banquet. The attendees were all ladies from aristocratic families. How could Miss Yang, with her status, be worthy of it?"

"Okay!" Zhu Qingan said slowly, "Since mother needs it, just go to the warehouse and get it for her!"

Zhu Qingan's words seemed polite and courteous, but in fact his tone was perfunctory and carried a businesslike indifference.

No matter how reluctant Wangshu was, he could only put on a gloomy face and quickly took out the Shu brocade and handed it to Aunt Banxia.

Aunt Banxia forced a smile as she took it and quickly fled from Yongfu Courtyard.

After Aunt Banxia left, Wangshu couldn't stop complaining, "That Shu brocade was given to you by the Empress Dowager, and it's just for Miss Yang! Madam is so biased that she even brought Miss Yang to the palace banquet! If Madam brings Miss Yang with her, wouldn't it make you, the princess, a laughing stock?"

"It's okay! It's just a piece of Shu brocade. Besides, have I ever needed my mother to accompany me to attend palace banquets in these years?" Zhu Qing'an waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

Zhu Qing'an didn't care, but the matter still reached the ears of Marquis Wen'an.

After hearing this, Wen Anhou was so angry that he stayed overnight in Qu Garden again. Perhaps even Wen Anhou himself did not realize that he liked staying in Qu Garden more and more.

Aunt Qu is gentle and considerate, never complains or competes for favor, and she cooks delicious food. Wen An feels very relaxed and comfortable when he is there.

"Cousin! I heard you are going to attend the palace banquet?"

Zhu Qing'an was currently dining with her second cousin Shui Tingfeng at Guangju Tower. In the past two days, whenever she had time, she would accompany her second cousin to visit Ancheng.

Hearing his second cousin's question, Zhu Qing'an wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and nodded slightly, "Yes, I'll go tomorrow!"

"Cousin..." Shui Tingfeng stretched out his voice and looked at Zhu Qing'an pitifully, his slender eyes full of pleading.

Zhu Qing'an pressed his eyebrows and instantly understood what his second cousin meant.

"Cousin, I want to go and take a look too! I have never attended a palace banquet before!" Shui Tingfeng said, pulling Zhu Qing'an's arm and acting like a coquettish girl.

How could Zhu Qing'an stand this? As they spent more time together, she began to see the abilities of her second cousin. He looked like a devil, but acted like a child. No wonder he was the most favored one in the family.

But most of the time, he acts like an older brother in front of me, taking care of me and protecting me.

Before Zhu Qingan could answer, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.

Zhu Qing'an raised her eyes and happened to meet Bian Jingsheng's gaze. She was stunned.

It was simply because, at this moment, Bian Jingsheng's eyes were cold and full of chill, completely different from the way she usually looked at him.

"Who are you!" Shui Tingfeng released the hand that was holding Zhu Qing'an's arm, stood up, and stood in front of Zhu Qing'an.

But in fact, Shui Tingfeng was also muttering to himself. He looked at the person in front of him. The whole person had an extraordinary aura and it was obvious that he was not an ordinary child from a noble family.

"Second cousin, this is the Prince of Loyalty!" Zhu Qing'an introduced him, then stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty?"

Bian Jingsheng watched Shui Tingfeng let go of Zhu Qing'an's arm, then he withdrew his gaze. He stood there handsome and upright, as if his indifference just now was just an illusion.

He also heard that Zhu Qing'an was shopping with a handsome man, so he didn't even continue his work and followed him.

He happened to see Shui Tingfeng touching Zhu Qing'an, and felt very unhappy.

In particular, he thought Shui Tingfeng's appearance was too seductive. He didn't look like a man at all, but rather a vixen. He became even more alert.

"Are you the King of Loyalty?" Shui Tingfeng's eyes lit up, and he quickly saluted, "I'm Shui Tingfeng, and I'm honored to meet the King of Loyalty!"

Bian Jingsheng nodded slightly, but looked at Zhu Qingan and explained, "The Guangju Tower is full today. I heard that the princess was here, so I came to see her!"
