The princess only wants to survive, and the cold-faced king of hell begs for mercy

As she finished speaking, a group of well-trained maids came in like a stream, and quickly and lightly moved exquisite chairs in front of Yun Shang and others.

At this moment, Yun Shang only felt that her legs were a little sore and weak. She endured the discomfort, slowly reached out to hold the chair beside her, and sat down carefully.

As soon as she sat down, she began to massage her calves gently and unnoticeably, trying to relieve the soreness.

Concubine Yue's gaze remained fixed on Yun Shang. Seeing her like this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. She said softly, "Princess Qi, you must have been standing for so long that you must be exhausted. I'm truly sorry for you."

Yun Shang quickly shook her head upon hearing this and replied with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm not tired at all. As long as it can make you, Madam Yue, happy, I'm willing to do anything."

At this moment, Concubine Yue waved towards the door again, signaling the servants to bring in the prepared melons.

After a while, several maids came in carrying plates of cut melons.

These melons are neatly arranged in crystal plates, exuding an enticing aroma.

However, what was striking was that the other ladies shared a plate of melon with two people, and even Yun Shang and Yu Ruyi only had one plate.

But Lin Zhiyi and Qin Yao each had a whole plate of melons, and their treatment was obviously much better than others.

How could Concubine Yue poison the melon in public, in front of everyone?

Thinking of this, Yun Shang felt a little more at ease. She picked up a delicate skewer and gently poked it into the melon, which exuded an alluring aroma. Then, she carefully picked out a piece and slowly put it into her mouth.

The moment the piece of melon touched the tip of the tongue, a sweet taste immediately spread in the mouth.

The sweet juice seemed to turn into cheerful streams, flowing through every taste bud, bringing endless pleasure.

Yun Shang couldn't help but squint her eyes, enjoying this rare delicacy.

This sweet and delicious taste was something she hadn't tasted for a long time.

Lin Zhiyi looked haughty. She came over with her own plate of melon and placed it in front of Yun Shang. "You are the Princess of Qi after all. It would be inappropriate for you to share a plate with a concubine. Since you like melon so much, I will give you my plate. As for me, I will ask Concubine Yue for another plate."

"Although there aren't many of these newly cultivated melons, I can still get a few if I ask Empress Yue."

Yun Shang glanced at the plate that Lin Zhiyi put down and said, "Oh, since you don't like it, just put it down."

"If you are really so honored as to ask for a few more, then go ahead and take a few. I will take a few back for the prince to try, and give a few to the servants in the palace as well. That would also be good."

Lin Zhiyi originally wanted to provoke Yun Shang with words to make her angry, but she never expected that not only did she fail to anger her as she wished, but Yun Shang shamelessly asked for several melons.

Seeing that his carefully planned scheme had failed, Lin Zhi was furious. He flicked his sleeves fiercely, turned around and sat back in his original seat angrily, and even took away the plate of melon that was originally placed in front of Yun Shang.

Yu Ruyi, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but sneer at the scene. She lowered her voice and said to the person next to her, "Look at this method. It's so clumsy. With such a small level, it's really too low-level."

At this moment, everyone was enjoying the melon when they heard a noise coming from the door of Lanyue Pavilion again.

Immediately afterwards, several thin eunuchs walked in slowly, carrying several huge flower pots with great effort.

Looking closely, I found that each of the four huge flower pots contained a very lush peony.

The leaves of these peonies are emerald green and as crystal clear as jade; and on top of the lush green leaves, there are bright and eye-catching peony flowers in full bloom.

The flowers are as big as bowls, blooming layer upon layer. The petals are a bright red color like flames. From a distance, it looks like a gorgeous sea of ​​flowers, which is beautiful beyond words.

When the ladies present saw this scene, they could not contain their curiosity and surprise. They all stood up and walked quickly forward to take a closer look.

One of them couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "Oh my! In all my life, this is the first time I've seen such beautiful and charming peonies! Moreover, it's late autumn now, and these peonies can actually bloom at this time. It's truly amazing!"

Another lady echoed, "That's right! This is the first time in my life I've ever seen such a beautiful peony. It seems that the Moon Concubine's Moon-Lanyue Pavilion is truly filled with all kinds of rare and precious treasures! This shows that our current emperor's love for the Moon Concubine is truly profound and unparalleled!"

Everyone moved forward to admire the gorgeous peony. How could Yun Shang stand out and isolate herself from the crowd? So, she stood up slowly and gracefully, and walked towards the place where the flower pot was placed with Yu Ruyi beside her.

At this moment, Concubine Yue slowly stood up from the soft and comfortable couch with the careful support of the palace maids.

Although the fetus in her belly was only over three months old and not yet noticeable, Yue Fei still carefully stretched out one hand to support her lower back, and gently placed the other hand on her slightly bulging belly, and walked slowly with a slightly exaggerated posture.

Upon seeing this, Yun Shang hurriedly stepped back a few steps, deliberately keeping some distance between herself and Concubine Yue, fearing that she might accidentally bump into the pregnant lady.

However, when Yue Fei saw her retreat, she paused for a moment, then walked towards her without hesitation and reached out to grab Yun Shang's arm tightly.

"Oh, Princess Qi, you are standing so far away, how can you truly appreciate the all-encompassing beauty of this peony flower?" Concubine Yue said coquettishly.

"Hurry, hurry, come closer with me, so that you can see this king of flowers clearly!"

After saying that, Yue Fei pulled hard on her hand, intending to pull Yun Shang forward.

Yun Shang was startled and quickly tried to pull back her arm that was being held tightly.

She twisted her wrist gently and exerted force secretly, but Yue Fei held it too tightly. No matter how she struggled, the hand was as still as an iron clamp and she couldn't break free at all.
