The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 9 I am here
Looking back, I saw the empty rosewood couch, and felt glaring again.

Nanny Chang said that the red sandalwood couch was sent by the regent to move it during the day, and it was hung with lavender brocade curtains with pearl partridges embroidered on the curtains.

Zhao Shuang rested her chin on one hand, staring at the candlelight in a daze.

Just now she didn't feel it when there were many people and noisy, but only after the people dispersed did she feel that the Frosty Palace was empty and lonely.

"Princess, tomorrow I have to get up early to go to the palace to meet the emperor and queen mother, why don't you rest early?" Seeing that she was depressed, Xiang Dong deliberately interrupted her.

"Xiangdong, when I fell asleep, you... have been guarding me all the time?" She pulled back her thoughts and turned to look at the little maid beside her.

"Back to the princess, the servants were entrusted by the former queen to watch over you every day and night." Xiangdong helped her get up, and went to the clean room to clean her face and change clothes, "Wangfei, what's the matter... just sleep alright."

Ever since the prince and concubine consummated their marriage, the prince has been staying in the Fanshuang Palace for the past few days, and he has never let the concubine stay alone in an empty room. Tonight is the first time, and the concubine must be feeling uncomfortable.

"Then... what happened to the prince before?" Zhao Shuang cleansed her face, took off the hairpin from her head, and let her hair down.

"My lord, he..." Xiangdong took off his coat for her, and put on a light silk nightgown, "He either lives in the government office, or he lives in Hanguang Pavilion."

Zhao Shuang supported Xiangdong, and walked out of the clean room slowly, "Hanguang Pavilion?"

"It's the prince's bedroom, opposite Jingxin Lake." Xiangdong pointed to the rippling lake outside the window, and comforted him, "Princess, rest early, if you feel unhappy, just sleep and you'll be fine. Tomorrow morning, the prince will meet you." To accompany you into the palace."

It was the first time the eldest princess entered the palace to see the emperor and queen mother after waking up, and the regent had to accompany her no matter how busy she was.

The night wind was gentle, the quilt was soft, and the woman's black hair was like a cloud, faintly falling into a dream.

In a daze, I saw an old man with a white beard standing not far in front, holding a whisk.

"Egret, you are restless, that's why today's disaster happened. You wasted an elixir for my teacher!" The old man stretched out a finger and stroked her forehead.

"Master, I know I'm wrong!" Bai Lu hugged the old man's sleeve and cried loudly, "Master, where have you been? ... Where have you been?"

Zhao Shuang hugged the quilt and wiped away tears.

"I'm here... right here." A magnetic and mellow voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

She woke up suddenly, and found that her hands were wrapped around her waist, and her stubble-covered chin was pressing against her neck, breathing hot air at her.

"Who?!" She stretched out her small hand and pushed the man's chin.

"You can't even recognize me?" The man behind him slightly hooked his lips and asked in a gentle voice, "Woke up so soon?"

She clearly remembered that she didn't say "my lord" just now, but said "I am", but when she took a closer look under the hazy moonlight, it was indeed Yang Xuan's sculpted face.

"Didn't you... stay with Xu Meiren?" Zhao Shuang pinched his cheek in doubt, and then pinched her own cheek, making sure that she wasn't dreaming.

"This king can't bear the scent of Liu'anju, so he came back early." Yang Xuan put her ear next to her, and said with a smirk, "Just now... did you dream of me?"

It turned out that when he retreated and came in quietly just now, he only heard her shout "Where have you been?" As for the "Master" in front of him, he didn't hear it, and he thought that she was dreaming about him.

"No, it was just a dream." Zhao Shuang moved inside, buried his head in the quilt to avoid his entanglement, "Why doesn't the lord go to Hanguang Pavilion these days, and always stay in this Frosty Palace?"

"The freshness of this king hasn't passed yet." Yang Xuan leaned over cheekily, saw her dodging, and explained solemnly, "Besides, my parents always force me to come..."

In the dead of night, the man's Adam's apple moved slightly, and his voice was as mellow and pleasant as the night wind.

"In the past few days, I have been busy forgetting, how is Lin Meiren's body?" Zhao Shuang turned his face away, and changed the subject, "Has the prince visited her?"

"Well, she handed in the account book and the cards during the day, and I told Nanny Chang to put it away first, and read it when you are free." Yang Xuan turned her face and pecked her forehead lightly, "Today You don’t have to pay attention to what Bing Ji and Xu Meiren said, I have no preference for Lin Yuezhi, but because she has learned housekeeping from her mother, let her take care of the back house temporarily.”

"Understood." Zhao Shuang said he knew, but rolled his eyes in his heart.

The people in the palace are not fools. Who does the prince love, and who does not love, and who can't tell?If Lin Yuezhi only knows how to be a housekeeper, how dare she boss around in front of Xu Lianyu?Besides, there are many concubines in the palace, if not for the regent's preference, how could Lin Yuezhi be the first to conceive?

"You don't seem to believe it?" The man leaned closer to her face and studied it for a while.

"I don't believe it." Zhao Shuang turned around, facing the direction of the wall, "I have to get up early tomorrow, and I'm asleep."

The man behind him frowned slightly. Every time she called herself a "concubine", it didn't do any good. She was either asking for something, or she was angry.

"Bang! Boom!"

It was just dawn, and an old voice sounded outside the door, "My lord, my concubine, it's time to get up!"

Nanny Chang was very happy.

When the prince came back last night, he didn't sit in the sedan chair. He walked from Liu Anju by himself in such a cold day. He couldn't bear to wake up the princess, and he didn't want anyone to tell her, so he tiptoed in. I think the prince is true to the princess Love is deep and righteous.

Zhao Shuang was still sleeping soundly.

"Get up!" Yang Xuan patted her face twice, and reminded her in her ear, "Today is the first time you enter the palace after waking up, and you want to see your natal family, get up and get ready!"

"My natal family?" Zhao Shuang woke up in a daze, as if she remembered such a thing.

"Your younger brother Zhao Hongyi just turned one year old when he became the throne." The man took a lavender brocade robe from the hanger and put it on his body. Marry you to me, and give me permission to be king and regent."

"So that's how it is," Zhao Shuang hurriedly put on her clothes, and asked again, "So, have you... ever thought about seizing power and usurping the throne?"

"This... I won't tell you!" Yang Xuan winked at her, then went to the clean room to freshen up.

When she was a little Taoist nun, she had heard about the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Prince Regent.

Yang Xuan, the son of An Guogong Yang Ling, was a natural general. When he was 16 years old, he led the army for the first time and recovered several counties in the northern border from Beiliang. He had a high prestige in the army.

After the first crown prince died of illness, the first emperor had only one young son Zhao Hongyi left, so at that time the ruling and opposition parties rumored that Yang Xuan was a master and might replace Da Zhou.

The first emperor had no choice but to let the sleepy Princess Chaohua marry into the Yang family, and made Yang Xuan the regent to assist the young prince, which was considered an act of appeasement.

Looking closely at the Prince Regent now, he can't see any ambitions. He only feels that this person behaves strangely, and he is a little narrow-minded and likes to run people.
