Reborn to marry, the short-lived prince lived a hundred years

The weather in the capital turned sunny, and the Prince's Mansion became busy again. What needed to be cleaned was cleaned, what needed to be repaired was repaired, what needed to be replaced was replaced, and what needed to be supplemented was supplemented.

Meng Tingyue also started to get busy.

Butler Zheng also cooperated with her honestly and dutifully in handling the affairs of the mansion without any small moves.

According to what Erquan mentioned that day, more than ten days have passed since Butler Zheng sent the letter to the palace, and Meng Tingyue has not received any news that the Queen is trying to trip her up or is angry behind her back.

The prince never mentioned it.

If she hadn't asked Prince Lingqi as usual today whether he could take the medicine today, she would have even forgotten about it.

"Replying to the Crown Princess, His Highness has been invited by the Empress to have lunch in the palace."

"Even if you are having lunch in the palace, you must take the medicine on time. Send someone to deliver the prepared medicine to the palace and make sure it is delivered to His Highness so that he can drink it."

Meng Tingyue's words revealed the majesty of a Crown Princess.

Ling Qi obeyed the order and retreated.

Meng Tingyue looked at the azure sky with a hint of sadness between her brows.

I wonder why the Queen kept the Prince in the palace?

But is it because of the letter sent by Butler Zheng?

When she enters the palace next time, will the Empress' attitude towards her become as unpleasant and difficult as in her previous life?

-

royal palace.

Inside Fengyi Palace.

Shen Yunheng concentrated on his meal and ignored the complicated look from the Queen.

After deep thought, the Queen asked solemnly, "Heng'er, are you still having a conflict with the Crown Princess?"

"No."

"No?" The Queen was not satisfied with the answer. "If not, why haven't you and the Crown Princess slept together yet?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunheng paused with the spoon in his hand. He slowly raised his head and looked at the Queen, his expression and tone expressing neither joy nor anger. "Your Majesty, are you supervising me?"

The Queen met his gaze and felt a sense of guilt for no reason. She denied it hastily, "No, I'm just concerned about your relationship. I'm not young anymore. In a few years, I'll be old, and when I'm old, I won't be able to hold my grandchildren."

The Queen clutched her handkerchief, feigning sadness as she wiped away the nonexistent tears at the corners of her eyes. "I have no wishes in this life, except to soon have children and grandchildren around me, and to enjoy the happiness of family."

Shen Yunheng watched her actions expressionlessly, recounting them one by one in a gentle voice, "When I was ten years old, your mother was worried that I wouldn't be able to find a wife, which would be a regret for me in the future."

"When I was fifteen, my mother and father arranged for me to marry the eldest daughter of the Meng family. At that time, I had never met the eldest daughter of the Meng family. My mother said at the time that seeing me get married would make her life complete."

"During these years at the border, your mother's regrets and worries are all the same."

"But now that I'm married, you, my Queen, are worried that my relationship with the Crown Princess won't be harmonious, and that I won't be able to give you a grandson soon. You'll regret it in the future. Your Queen, you have many regrets in this life, and this isn't your only regret."

The more the queen listened to his words, the more guilty she felt. Her eyes rolled slightly, and she straightened her body again. "You are my only biological child. What's wrong with me asking for more? If you can really give me a grandson, I won't nag you in your ears."

Shen Yunheng said calmly, "Mother is still young, so I am not in a hurry. Tingyue is weak, so we will consider this matter after she recovers."

The Queen looked at him doubtfully, "Is this true? Don't lie to me."

"If your Majesty Queen doesn't believe me, I won't tell you anymore."

"Then I will trust you for once. I will send some high-quality medicinal herbs to the Prince's Mansion in a few days to help Tingyue recover."

Just as she finished speaking, the Queen thought of something else. She considered her words carefully, hesitated, and finally said, "Son, tell me that you are not feeling well, are you?"

Shen Yunheng's face turned ashen, and he exuded a cold aura.

The Queen was a little frightened when she saw this, and hurriedly said with a wry smile, "You are my son, so naturally you are in good health. They must be talking nonsense. I will order someone to punish him when I get back. Eat first, or the food will get cold."

……

Butler Zheng was sitting in the mansion when he suddenly received a letter from his confidant.

After reading the contents of his mind, he turned pale.

The confidant asked quietly, "But the Empress is angry and wants to punish the Crown Princess?"

Upon hearing this, Butler Zheng threw the letter directly at his confidant's face. As if he was still not satisfied, he kicked the confidant and knocked him down.

Butler Zheng kept muttering to himself, his words filled with disbelief, "Impossible! The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess couldn't have slept together already. If they had, there's no way they wouldn't have moaned once. Impossible..."

The henchman stood up immediately after being kicked. After hearing what he said, he guessed, "Could it be that he called for water, but the servants didn't report it?"

Hearing this, Butler Zheng felt that he was right, and anger rose in his heart, "I didn't expect someone would defect to the Crown Princess so early. Damn it, I treat them so well all the time."

Upon hearing this, the confidant lowered his head and said nothing.

……

Qing Palace.

"Princess, I've investigated and found that the court has not sent anyone to purchase rice, grain, and medicinal herbs anymore." Ziqing weakly told the news she had found out.

"What?" Meng Qingjiao's voice rose, her eyes full of disbelief. "Impossible, how could no one come to buy? Impossible, I can't be wrong. You must not have investigated carefully enough. Send someone else to investigate."

Ziqing knelt on the ground, trembling, wanting to cry but unable to, and pleaded sincerely, "Princess, we have investigated this matter at least five times. The court only sent people to buy some rice and medicinal herbs at the beginning, but has not made any purchases since then."

"During the heavy rain, it seemed that people from the imperial court came to buy rice. They left without buying anything. I suspect they left because the prices were too high."

Meng Qingjiao kept muttering the word "impossible". No matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't figure out why there was such a big gap between this life and her previous life.

It was obvious that those shops in her previous life also raised their prices, and she was just following suit. Could it be that her prices were a few cents higher than those in her previous life?

But she had already spent a lot of money on it, so what if she could make a little more money selling it? Why didn't the court buy it anymore? Why didn't the court buy it anymore? Weren't they going to save the people of Hengcheng?

Meng Qingjiao overturned the tea set on the table to the ground. The boiling hot water in the teapot poured out due to her action, and the hot water directly burned the back of her hand red.

"Ah! It hurts!" Meng Qingjiao covered her burning hand and looked at the broken pieces of the teapot on the ground with anger. "Even you bully me."

She kicked the broken porcelain pieces on the ground away.

The porcelain fragment flew in front of Ziqing and hit her knee directly.

Ziqing covered her face, which was splashed with hot water, with her hands. The pain in her knees almost made her cry out in pain. She was worried that crying out would make Meng Qingjiao even angrier, so she could only bite her lips to prevent herself from crying out, but tears had already welled up in the corners of her eyes.
