Initially, Qi Yu thought that Chu Yixuan would use this opportunity to get out of her predicament, trying to figure out what he wanted to do with her. After all, admiring the flowers during the day was quite pleasant.
But then, Qi Yu actually worried for nothing, at night, Chu Yixuan actually got her to take care of him in her bed, he said, he still had things to take care of.
He had so many things to take care of! What is it?
Could it be that he was opposed to tomorrow's conferred ceremony?
The general situation had already been determined. Could it be that he still needed to make a futile move and attempt to turn the tide? He still wanted to be the crown prince, to fight with Feng Qingmo?
Qi Yu wanted to find out if the matter was as she had guessed, but, at this time, she realised, Bi Su and Feng Qingmo were not by her side, and she did not know what to do.
She was like a trapped bird, looking out at the vast blue sky without being able to do anything about it.
That night, Qi Yu lost sleep.
In the morning, after he had just fallen asleep, he heard Lu Ming and Warm Xiang talking outside the door. Lu Ming said that the Prince wanted to directly enter the palace to participate in the crowning ceremony, so he didn't come back. After the ceremony, he would come back quickly to accompany his wife.
It was unknown if it was because he was a little disappointed or not, but Qi Yu's sleepiness was shallow. Even though his body felt very tired, he still didn't want to sleep deeply. Then, she suddenly woke up and asked Warm Xiang: "What time is it?"
Warm Xiang replied, "Why did the wangfei wake up? It's not the end of the morning yet, but it will be time soon! "
Right, from nine in the morning to eleven in the morning? Has the crowning ceremony not begun yet?
Just as he was thinking about this, the rumbling of ceremonial cannons sounded out from the skies above Ji City. The salute sounded again and again, and when you heard it, you felt holy and solemn.
However, Qi Yu was actually worried in her heart. Would something really happen?
Last night, Chu Yixuan did not even return to the Safe House, where did he go? Was he preparing to rebel?
— — Facts have proven that Qi Yu's worries are still unnecessary.
The ceremonial cannons rang out normally, following her request, Uncle Lin sent people to the palace entrance to inquire about the situation, and all the news that came back was the same. The ceremony went smoothly and everything in the palace was normal.
Everything was normal!
That means, Cheng Wan is someone who would normally become the empress of Dongluo! Feng Qingmo had also become the crown prince of Dongluo! And the power of the Dongluo, had nothing to do with Chu Yixuan!
Could Chu Yixuan really hold back and not attack?
Or was he really too weak to fight?
The voice that had been preaching finally came to a stop.
This also meant that the bestowal ceremony for the empress and crown prince had ended.
When Lu Ming's voice came from afar, he heaved a sigh of relief. Standing at the entrance and looking at Chu Yixuan's limping figure, he couldn't help but smile.
Finally, he had returned safely. There were no unnecessary troubles. She was really worried that Chu Yixuan would never come back after causing trouble during the ceremony!
However, Qi Yu was afraid that she would see such a relieved smile. When Chu Yixuan's gaze fell on her face, she immediately put on a serious face, and coughed twice. "Warm Xiang, go prepare some tea for the Duke."
"No need." Chu Yixuan said, "Go down. This King wants to chat with the wangfei. "
Lu Ming and Warm Xiang looked like they understood each other, "Yes, Your Highness, Princess."
They were alone in the room. The door was also closed, and immediately a feeling of isolation enveloped Qi Yu.
"What do you want to talk about? "So mysterious?" she asked warily.
Chu Yixuan sat by the side and looked up at her, then said calmly: "Why are you standing so far away, come over and sit."
Qi Yu sat opposite of him: "What important matter?"
Chu Yixuan's gaze paused on my face for a moment before he chuckled softly, "It's really interesting. Your mother and brother both became the most important people in Dongluo, but no one mentioned you."
That's the question?
Qi Yu curled her lips: "What's wrong with that, I'm not born in your Royal Father, and your Royal Father doesn't want others to know that his current Queen was once his Crown’s Master's concubine. So, I simply don't have a proper reputation, how would anyone mention me?"
Chu Yixuan's gaze was deep, he looked at me silently for a moment, and said: "Then can we be considered to be in the same boat?"
"Don't!" Qi Yu said in disdain, "Using this kind of method to rope in an alliance, is not a wise move."
"Do I even need to form an alliance?" Chu Yixuan said with a smile that was not a smile, "Whatever I want you to do, you have to do it, there is no need to rope me in."
F * ck me!
Qi Yu was depressed, "That is definitely not good! It's not the end yet, and I don't know who will be the one to order who and who will be the one to demand obedience! "
Chu Yixuan laughed and changed the subject, "Even though Empress Qing is already middle-aged, when she dresses back as a woman, she is still a noble and graceful woman."
"Nice temperament?"
"That's right. "She was graceful, demure and elegant, and had the demeanor of a mother."
"Looks like staying by the side of the Emperor for too long is indeed different. It's not easy for a maid to be graceful, demure, and elegant. "
Chu Yixuan looked at Qi Yu, and said indifferently: "How can you talk about your mother like that?"
Qi Yu shrugged her shoulders, "It might be better if we didn't have such a mother!"
As the two spoke, the Uncle Lin rushed to the door and said softly, "Your Royal Highness, people from the Sacred De Palace and the Eastern Palace have returned with their gifts. Please accept the gifts of Your Highness and Princess Wangfei."
Chu Yixuan replied: "Alright, I understand."
Qi Yu looked at him suspiciously: "The Saint De Palace and the Eastern Palace? "In return for what?"
Chu Yixuan said, "I sent congratulatory gifts to the newly appointed imperial brother and empress of the crown prince, so they naturally have to return it to me according to reason."
"Ha!" Qi Yu could not help but laugh dryly, "So it turns out that we went to prepare the wedding gift overnight!"
It caused her to worry for the whole night. She thought that he was going to cause trouble, but to think that she was worried for nothing! Not only would she not cause any trouble, she even gave him a gift. How could she have not thought that she would do such a thing?!
However, Chu Yixuan laughed and denied it, "Not really."
Qi Yu was startled: "Then where did you go last night?"
Chu Yixuan looked like he wanted to say something, but hesitated and then changed the topic. "I'll tell you in the future. Come, let's go to the main hall and take a look at the gifts that your mother and royal brother have given us. "
"Why am I still part of it!?"
"Of course there is! "I sent you a gift in the name of both husband and wife. How can you not be part of the gift in return?"
Qi Yu curled her lips, "I won't refuse a favor that was just picked up for free."
Chu Yixuan's brows slightly rose, "Of course. "No, no, no."
F * ck me! Qi Yu glared, how could they not be so tit for tat!
In the main hall of the Prince Qi Palace, there were actually more than half of the rooms for the Sacred De Palace and the East Palace to return gifts.
The Inner Eunuch of the Saint De Palace and Eastern Palace were still there, when he saw Chu Yixuan and his group arrive, he smiled and greeted them respectfully. Chu Yixuan returned the greeting: "Thank you for your hard work, two eunuchs!"
"Working for the empress and the crown prince is our fortune, so we dare not say that it's hard work." This was sent by the empress and the crown prince.
The two eunuchs brought out the gift slips and introduced them to Chu Yixuan and Qi Yu one by one. Other than a large amount of brocade silk clothing, there were also all kinds of precious jewellery and jade artifacts.
"Also, this was specially bestowed by the Empress upon Your Highness," a palace eunuch smiled as he brought out a small brocade box and presented it to Qi Yu. "Your Highness, please accept this."
Qi Yu was startled: "There's even a special gift for me?"
Chu Yixuan received it for Qi Yu and said: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness!"
The Eastern Palace eunuch then brought out a Agarwood Box as well. "This was bestowed to your highness by the crown prince. Your highness, please accept it."
Feng Qingmo also gave her a special gift? Qi Yu was startled, and also extended her hand to take it.
Chu Yixuan thanked him on her behalf: "Thank you, Brother Crown Prince, for your kindness."
The two eunuchs smiled and said: "Then this one will take his leave first."
Chu Yixuan smiled: "Take care, two uncles!"
After the Uncle Lin sent away the eunuchs from the palace, Chu Yixuan and Qi Yu looked at each other and smiled, "The Queen Mother and royal brother are worried about your Consort! Why don't you open the brocade box and see what kind of presents are inside? "
Let's see who's afraid of who. It couldn't be possible for the brocade box to contain a time bomb, right? There was no such high-tech technology in ancient times.
Qi Yu let Chu Yixuan open the embroidered box in his hand first. Inside the embroidered box was a purple jade in the shape of a flower. Beneath the red rope tied with purple jade, there was a bunch of soft yellow hair. His hair was neatly arranged without a trace of disorder as he lay quietly within the embroidered box.
Qi Yu could still understand the meaning behind this purple jade that was the shape of a cauliflower. But what did it mean? She didn't understand.
Chu Yixuan gently picked up a strand of hair and carefully sized it up before saying: "Looks like it is the hair of a child that hasn't matured yet, — It can't be that this is your hair, right?"
Qi Yu was startled: "How could that be?"
Chu Yixuan said: "Maybe, when she left the Crown’s Master, she secretly cut it off your head? In order to stay by your side and think about it? "
F * ck!
Qi Yu really wanted to explode, "Is that even possible? If she really cared about her child, why would she leave without saying goodbye for thirteen years? "
For a six year old child, thirteen years of waiting was not a small number!
With a barbaric action, Qi Yu threw the embroidered box in his hands onto the table and opened the box in his hands, "Let me see what this is. A dried flower? "
Qi Yu picked up the dried flower from the wooden box and looked at it carefully, "Although the color is not good, the smell is still very nice! "What kind of flower is this? It's so big, yet there are so many petals. What's the use of giving it to me?"
Chu Yixuan placed the dried flower back into the wooden box, and said: "These are precious medicinal ingredients, they cannot be disrespectful to others, leaving them will definitely be useful to you."
Qi Yu was startled: "Precious medicinal herbs? You recognize this flower? "
"Ugh …" Chu Yixuan looked at her, placed the box in Qi Yu's hands and said, "Do you think that everyone is as inexperienced as you? Besides, the things that Crown Prince has given you must be precious to you. As for what's the use of these flowers, I'll ask the crown prince's brother for you. Alright, let's go back to your room! "
Looking at Chu Yixuan's leaving figure with her hands behind her back, Qi Yu was startled, "Hey, I said, they gave us so many gifts, does that mean we are temporarily safe?"
"Not necessarily." Chu Yixuan said lightly, "Their attitudes cannot represent the attitude of the Royal Father, right?"
Qi Yu was stunned.
What did Chu Yixuan mean by this?
