The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 109 It’s a good thing

The fourth princess cried so hard that the prince’s brain was about to explode.

How could he know that the fourth princess couldn’t think of a word for a long time.

The more she couldn’t think of it, the louder she cried.

Someone came in from behind and said something about King Xuan.

The prince couldn’t hear the whole sentence clearly.

Until he looked up and saw a cold face.

The prince finally knew that the sentence was “His Royal Highness King Xuan is coming.”

The fourth princess looked up.

King Xuan!

She cried even louder.

Where did Xue Qingyin go? Why hasn’t she come back yet?

The fourth princess felt a little panic in her heart.

After King Xuan entered the room, he asked someone to bring a chair and sat down quietly.

He looked at the prince and the fourth princess as if he was watching a play.

For a while, the atmosphere in the palace was weird.

Soon, a sound of footsteps approached.

Xue Qingyin came slowly, lifted her skirt, and stepped into the room. Everyone looked at her naturally, and saw that she was smiling.

The prince couldn't help but sway.

King Xuan asked her: "Are you scared?"

Xue Qingyin shook her head.

The fourth princess gradually stopped crying.

The prince was able to catch his breath. He pressed his head and said coldly: "What does King Xuan think my East Palace is? A den of dragons and tigers?"

King Xuan said indifferently: "The East Palace is majestic, and Yinyin is delicate. Naturally, I have to ask her if she is scared."

The prince deliberately made King Xuan unhappy, so he stared at Xue Qingyin and said: "I think the concubine seems to like this place very much. Didn't she walk in with a smile just now?"

He asked Jiang Hua: "How is it? Did the concubine go to see the Crown Princess?"

Jiang Hua bowed and replied: "Yes, the concubine and the Crown Princess had a good chat."

When the prince heard this, he didn't even blink, as if he was sure that the Crown Princess was still firmly under his control.

He smiled grimly and said, "That's rare. If the concubine is free, she can also visit the East Palace more often."

King Xuan said, "No need, so as not to disturb the prince's rest."

Hearing King Xuan's words, the prince leaned forward and whispered, "We are all family, how can we disturb you?"

King Xuan didn't respond to his words, stood up, put one hand on Xue Qingyin's waist, and said, "Why don't you say goodbye to the prince?"

Xue Qingyin bowed and said goodbye as he said.

The prince thought to himself, she really listened to King Xuan.

"Then, then I'll leave too." The fourth princess interrupted.

The prince: "..."

The prince asked her, "Don't you have anything else to say?"

The fourth princess shook her head, her face full of nervousness.

The prince's doubts were dispelled.

I'm afraid she has something to say but dare not say it.

It doesn't seem to be pretended.

After all, if it was pretended, it was too clumsy.

"Let's all go." The prince said coldly, and he did not forget to say something to the fourth princess in a sarcastic tone: "If you encounter any trouble again, just look for your second brother. Why bother to come to the East Palace to find me? I am cultivating myself now, and I am afraid I can't help with the outside affairs. I am not as powerful as King Xuan."

Xue Qingyin was about to walk out, but she turned her head and said, "Your Highness, cultivating yourself like this... is not very successful."

Prince: "..."

When Xue Qingyin stepped out of the door, the prince could still hear her mumbling: "Who told him to reward King Wei but not us?"

Prince: "..."

When they were no longer visible, Jiang Hua walked to the prince's side and poured him a cup of hot water.

The prince was weak and cold, and could not drink tea.

"King Xuan's concubine is really arrogant, and she is petty and likes to compare." Jiang Hua frowned.

The prince drank a sip of water and smiled, "She is an extremely beautiful woman. She must have developed such a temper since she was young."

Jiang Hua was silent for a moment, knelt in front of the prince, rested her head on his knees, and said, "Your Highness, did you also like her color?"

The prince asked her back, "Do you know who she will remind people of when she is so beautiful?"

Jiang Hua was stunned for a moment, and tentatively answered, "Shufei?"

The prince patted her face, "It seems that you are still smart. Since you are smart, don't ask stupid questions like that just now."

Jiang Hua blushed, gently pushed the prince, and said angrily, "Can't I even eat jealousy?"

"Then eat it." The prince said gloomily, "Jealousy is a good thing. Jealousy will make you abandon your kindness, be cruel and ruthless, and act decisively. It will make you a winner."

It is not known whether this is said to Jiang Hua or to himself.

"Your Highness is right." Jiang Hua replied softly.

Then she turned serious and reported to the Crown Prince everything Xue Qingyin said and did when she met the Crown Princess.

The Crown Prince said, "You are really reliable. You know everything and write it down for me."

Jiang Hua was embarrassed, but her words were harsh: "I hope the Crown Prince is well in everything, but the Crown Princess may not be. I am afraid she is hoping for your death. Now that the concubine of King Xuan has messed things up, the Crown Princess will inevitably have some unfavorable thoughts. For example... take the things in her hands and surrender to King Xuan. By then, Your Highness, you will be passive."

The reason why Jiang Hua brought Xue Qingyin with her was to deliberately give the Crown Princess hope and make her despair.

There was another reason, that is... she hoped that the Crown Prince would have a sense of urgency and know that he could no longer be soft on the Crown Princess. Those who should be dealt with should be dealt with with thunderous means.

And she is the only one who always stands on the same line with the prince and is worth relying on.

The prince was silent for a moment and asked Jiang Hua: "Do you think the concubine of King Xuan is a smart person? Or a fool?"

Jiang Hua sighed: "She is just a little smart."

The prince still had some doubts in his heart, he said: "Send someone to find out what the noble ladies in the capital think of the concubine of King Xuan."

Jiang Hua replied "Yes".

The prince closed his eyes and had no intention of giving any more orders.

Jiang Hua couldn't help asking, "Your Highness... the Crown Princess..."

The Crown Prince opened his eyes: "What are you going to do? Are you going to poison her today?"

Jiang Hua said aggrievedly: "That's not what I meant. I just thought I could increase the dosage, or start with the fool next to her. I have to scare her. You know, your Crown Princess is really a tough guy. She has been so long, and she has never given up."

The Crown Prince rejected it outright: "No need." He smiled: "In fact, it is a good thing for the concubine of King Xuan to come to the East Palace."

"Good thing?" Jiang Hua felt sour again.

"People will become numb if they are in pain for a long time. Over time, they will feel that death is just like this. But if one day, she sees the light of day again... she will rekindle her desire for the outside world. We should let the concubine of King Xuan come to see her more often. If we can bring some things from Yangzhou, it will be even better." The Crown Prince said indifferently.

"What if the Crown Princess gives the things to the concubine of King Xuan?" This is what Jiang Hua is most worried about.

The Crown Prince said, "You don't understand her."

Jiang Hua felt a little sour when she heard this.

As a person who sleeps with the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince really understands the temperament of the Crown Princess. He said, "The concubine of King Xuan is her only lifeline in such a long time. The more the concubine talks with her, the more she can't bear to give the things to the concubine and get into trouble. After all, it's not just me who wants that thing. My father also wants it. And how can such a thing be easily given to someone who has only met once?"

The Crown Prince said, "Wait for a while."

Jiang Hua breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to pat the Crown Prince's shoulder.

Xue Qingyin and King Xuan walked side by side, and the small sedan chair became empty instead.

The fourth princess followed behind, not knowing what to say, so... just treat her as a piece of grass on the side of the road and keep her mouth shut.

"Why is Your Highness here?" Xue Qingyin asked.

"My father summoned me to the palace."

Xue Qingyin thought to herself that she had said so.

How could the King Xuan come to pick her up?

The eunuch beside him interrupted weakly: "Your Highness will not return to Taiji Hall?"

Xue Qingyin curiously poked his head: "Is there anything else?"

The eunuch smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness left in the middle of the meeting. Now I don't know if His Majesty is furious."
