"Okay, come here."

The Crown Princess beckoned to Zhao Yunmin, inviting her to come to her side.

Zhao Yunmin hesitated, but still slowly walked over.

The Crown Princess took Zhao Yunmin's hand and wrote her birth date and time stroke by stroke in her palm, then said.

"Remember this well: you will be the most favored person by the Crown Prince's side."

Although the Crown Princess's hands were warm, Zhao Yun, sensitive to each stroke, always felt a chill seeping into her palms.

But when faced with the Crown Princess's undeniable gaze, she could only nod to indicate that she had remembered.

"Okay, you can go back now. Granny Shi, go and deliver it."

After the Crown Princess finished speaking, she released Zhao Yunmin's hand.

Granny Shi responded and led the still somewhat bewildered Zhao Yunmin away.

……

"Zhao Yunmin, where did you just go? His Highness is looking for you, hurry up and go."

When they arrived at the East Pole Hall, a young eunuch came over and said to Zhao Yunmin in a rather unfriendly manner.

The Crown Prince's attitude towards Aunt Yunmin was not as good as before, and they respected her less.

Zhao Yunmin's heart tightened. The Crown Prince was looking for her?

Could it be that her visit to the Crown Princess was discovered? Will the Crown Prince question her about it?

Zhao Yunmin dared not delay, leaving the little eunuch behind, and hurried to the Crown Prince's study.

In the study, the Crown Prince sat at his desk, his eyes on the memorials before him, but his mind was not on them at all.

Little Li just reported the information he found to him.

Zhao Yunmin may not actually be Amin. The timing of her entering the palace matches up, but her later experiences are too vague, as if they were deliberately erased.

Moreover, the timing of her entry into the Eastern Palace was too coincidental. He had just been transferred to the Eastern Palace not long before he went to the Plum Garden, and the bullying he suffered that time might actually have been something she had planned herself.

"Your Highness."

When Zhao Yunmin entered, she saw the Crown Prince sitting there with a frown, looking like he was in a bad mood, and his voice even carried a hint of nervousness.

"You came."

The Crown Prince shifted his gaze from the memorial to Zhao Yunmin's face, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He felt it was best to give Zhao Yunmin a chance.

"Three days from now, a banquet will be held in the palace. I will take you there and give you a proper status."

The Crown Prince actually wanted to take Zhao Yunmin to the Cold Palace where they first met, but in order not to arouse her suspicion, he came up with this ready-made reason.

Zhao Yunmin's emotions were truly on a rollercoaster. Just a moment ago she was worried that the Crown Prince might discover the truth about her, but then she heard that the Crown Prince was going to give her a title. She was both surprised and delighted.

It seems that the Crown Prince's cold treatment of her a few days ago was probably just to save face for Liang Qiuli.

She secretly rejoiced.

Thankfully, she didn't act impulsively and become the Crown Princess's vanguard, actually creating the witchcraft doll.

However, the Crown Princess knew that the matter was always a hidden danger. She also wanted to use someone else to do the dirty work, but she had only been in the Eastern Palace for a short time and did not have her own connections, so it would be too difficult to operate in secret.

She should wait until the Crown Prince grants her a title and she has people she can rely on before making any further plans.

"Thank you, Your Highness. As long as Your Highness cares about me, I don't care about titles or honors."

Zhao Yunmin still knew how to feign reluctance, but when the Crown Prince saw the smugness almost overflowing on her face, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

She clearly wants a formal title but is pretending not to care. How hypocritical.

Originally, the Crown Prince was unwilling to believe that he had mistaken Zhao Yunmin for Amin, but now he felt that it was better that way, because his Amin was not that kind of person.

"Alright, you may leave now. I still have official business to attend to."

After the Crown Prince finished explaining, he didn't want to get entangled with her any longer and waved for her to leave.

After I finish reading these memorials, I still need to find Li'er for dinner, so I can't delay.

"Yes."

Zhao Yunmin was so engrossed in her joy that she didn't notice the change in the Crown Prince's expression at all, assuming that he was truly busy with important matters.

……

Cloud Pavilion.

Liang Qiuli rarely came back, so she specially invited him to dinner, which made the Crown Prince quite happy.

They arrived before dinner time.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

Just as the eunuch was about to go in to report, the crown prince raised his hand to stop him.

He stopped the others from bowing and quietly went inside by himself.

As soon as he entered, he saw Liang Qiuli sitting at the table, embroidering a garment in the style of an undergarment. She was so focused that she didn't even notice him coming in.

Liang Qiuli couldn't possibly have been unaware of it; she did it on purpose.

Before the crown prince could even reach her side, she suddenly raised her head, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes as she looked at him, followed by a bright smile.

"The Crown Prince is here."

She put down the needle and thread in her hand, stretched out her inner garment in front of the prince, gestured to it, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Did Li'er make this undergarment for me?"

The prince's thin lips curved slightly, clearly pleased with Liang Qiuli's gesture.

"Hmm, does Your Highness like it?"

Although Liang Qiuli agreed verbally, she thought to herself, "How could I possibly make your undergarment by hand? This is just a ready-made garment that I've embroidered a few strokes on."

The crown prince was unaware of all this. He took the undergarment, looked at it from left to right, and touched it with admiration in his eyes.

Zhao Yunmin's initial displeasure vanished after seeing Liang Qiuli make him an undergarment by hand.

Pear is the best; I'm sure he'll have sweet dreams every night wearing this undergarment.

"I like it very much, Li'er is very thoughtful, but in the future these things can be left to the servants, you don't need to do it yourself."

The Crown Prince spoke softly, placing his inner garment aside before sitting down next to Liang Qiuli. He embraced her and gently caressed her delicate hands.

I was worried that her hands would get hurt from doing these jobs.

"As long as Your Highness is happy, everything is worthwhile."

Liang Qiuli buried her head in the prince's chest.

After the two lingered like this for a while, the Crown Prince suddenly spoke.

"Li'er, your father is dying. A banquet will be held in the palace in three days. I want to promote you to a higher rank as a way to bring good luck to your father."

The Crown Prince had no intention of promoting Liang Qiuli, but seeing the inner garment she had carefully made and the grievances she had suffered before, the thought arose in his mind.

"Your Highness, this..."

Liang Qiuli slightly raised her head to meet the Crown Prince's gaze.

The prince looked at her with surprise at first, then gratitude, and finally deep love for her.

Compared to Zhao Yunmin's reaction not long ago, the Crown Prince felt a warmth in his heart, and a voice in his heart told him that he wished Li'er were Amin.

But the thought only lingered in his mind for a moment before disappearing, he said softly.

"You don't need to belittle yourself. As long as you have me in your heart, I will protect you."

Liang Qiuli's face was full of gratitude, but in her heart she was silently disgusted. At most, he could only give her the title of Liangdi, making it seem like she would be doing him a disservice if she didn't repay him with her life.

Afterwards, the Crown Prince stayed for a meal, and naturally, he also stayed at Liang Qiuli's Cloud Pavilion that night.

That night, after everything was over, Liang Qiuli redeemed a pill for fertility from the system.

It's time to get pregnant.
