Beauty Scheming: Remnant King and Concubine

Chapter 38

Come in the middle of the night and go tomorrow.

How long has it been like a spring dream?
Going like a cloud without a place to look. ——Tang Bai Juyi "Flowers Are Not Flowers"

The queen mother sent a father-in-law surnamed Wang to the palace to monitor Qin Yunyao and Ji Liangruo.When getting off the carriage, Qin Yunyao told him to live in Jingyue Courtyard, and he fell headlong into Bixiao Courtyard as usual.

Back at Jingyue Courtyard, Dongyue asked someone to clean Eunuch Wang's room, and then asked them to clean the whole yard and prepare bath water for Liang Ruo.

Eunuch Wang is in his 40s, deeply eroded by the years in the palace, his words and deeds are inexplicably weird, and he doesn't seem so easy to get along with.When he saw the maidservants in the yard, he asked with a smile, "Are these the prince sent to serve the princess?"

"Yes." Dongyue said, "Except for me and Xun'er, there are ten of them. Why doesn't the prince care about our concubine?"

She personally sent Eunuch Wang back to the room, and then returned to Liang Ruo's room, seeing that Xun'er was preparing Liang Ruo's clothes for a change of clothes, she said: "Take the most beautiful clothes for the princess!"

"Why?" Xun'er asked stupidly.

Dongyue couldn't help but give her a white look: "The prince will come tonight!"

"This..." Xun'er glanced at Liang Ruo who was sitting by the window, silently looking for the best clothes, but couldn't help asking Dongyue quietly, "Will you really come?"

"The empress dowager has issued a decree, can you not come?" Dongyue said here, and couldn't help laughing, "It's really thanks to Princess Fang! By the way, you have been there all the time, how did Princess Fang say that? of?"

"It's not the fourth princess." Xun'er curled her lips, "I'm stupid, and I don't know what everyone is talking about. Anyway, I think the fourth princess is either disrespectful, or has enmity with the prince or Princess Fang. Looking for trouble on purpose!"

Ji Liangruo smiled, but said nothing.She rested her chin with one hand, stroked her lips with her fingers, recalled the kiss in the afternoon, no matter how she told herself that everything was impossible, there was still an inexplicable throbbing in her heart.

That kiss came suddenly and ended suddenly.He never said a word, did not express anything.Kissed and kissed, like the morning after the wedding, she woke up in his arms, and he acted as if nothing had happened.

That night, whether Qin Yunyao didn't come, although she expected it, she felt a little disappointed in her heart.

She waited all night and went to bed almost at dawn.She knew that he was not easy to compromise, and she didn't want to wait at first, but before he came after bedtime, she was going to sleep.It was Dongyue who didn't believe it. She didn't believe that someone would go against the Queen Mother's edict, so she had to wait, and found reasons for him in every possible way, saying that he "may come soon", "maybe finished reading", "maybe on the way"... …

She laughed secretly in her heart, Dongyue didn't understand many things after all.
.
"My lord... how can he resist the decree?"

Ji Liangruo slept until noon, and Dongyue combed her hair while wondering why.

She said slowly: "If you ask him, he will definitely say: 'Half a year is a long time, don't rush for a while.' The important thing is that the decree is for me, not for him. The position of my princess belongs to him." It doesn't matter, the princess can be someone else instead of me."

"But you are different!" Dongyue pressed her shoulders and lowered her voice, "If it wasn't for you, how would the queen mother explain?"

Ji Liangruo sighed weakly: "This is our business, it has nothing to do with him! Are you going to tell him to make him sympathize with me and you, and leave us here to monitor him?"

"Princess, please keep your voice down!" Dongyue didn't know why she suddenly became angry, and hurriedly stopped her.

"Anyway, I have my own idea about this matter, you don't have to ask questions, it makes me upset!"

Dongyue was suffocated and dared not speak.
