Chapter Thirteen: The Prince's Mansion is Playing
The night ended peacefully, with a faint light shining into the house through the window lattice. Ye Chenghuan, who couldn't sleep, simply got up, opened the window, and was attracted by the beautiful scenery.
In front of you is a wave of green lake water, with layers of lotus leaves like a skirt of the same color, and white and pink lotus flowers blooming with oval stamens, full of fragrance.
Beside the lake is a small pavilion made of white jade, filled with potted orchids, with green leaves and lush flowers, rich in fragrance and beauty.
It’s really beautiful!
The lotus comes out of the mud but remains unstained, and the orchid represents the gentleman among the flowers. I wonder if this represents his temperament?
After a long time, she looked away. When she turned around, she saw that Feng Cangqiong had already stood up and dressed in the bright red robe from yesterday. She felt a strange feeling in her heart and reached out to open the door.
"Miss Ninth" heard the noise, and the two dowry maids came over quickly, looking at the handsome figure beside the bed with a shy face, "I have met the prince."
Feng Cangqiong's sharp light swept across, and when he saw the admiration in their eyes, he felt disgust in his heart, and called into the air, "Chasing the Moon"
A guard in black came in and Feng Cangqiong ordered, "Prepare a bath for the princess."
"Yes." The guards retreated. The two maids woke up from a dream. Without waiting for King Cang to speak, they quickly walked to the bed and made the bed.
As soon as the quilt was lifted, both of them opened their eyes in disbelief and glanced at Ye Chenghuan's eyes, feeling jealous and suspicious.
Ye Chenghuan clearly saw that a folded silk handkerchief next to the pillow was mostly blown open by the wind, and it was made into dark red spots, like deep red plum blossoms blooming. The color did not look fake at first glance, and it had indeed dried for a long time.
, heart, as if being pricked by a needle
The memory of this body told her that theirs was a holy marriage. In the Phoenix Dynasty, if you did not consummate the marriage, you could be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor.
The emperor doesn't like her at all. He sent someone to monitor her last night. If she doesn't act, he will take advantage of her. He is protecting her!
She raised her eyes to look at him and met his gaze in the air. The dark and deep phoenix eyes had a faint brilliance, like a bottomless whirlpool, which attracted people to sinking. The two maids looked a little crazy, but the disappointment in their hearts was even worse.
I originally suspected that the blood was done intentionally, but now I am not sure.
Ye Chenghuan blinked, his eyebrows were raised, the corners of his mouth curved brightly, Mo Ran's face was flowing, Feng Cangqiong's eyes tightened, and the depression caused by her sleepless night last night seemed to disappear at this moment.
She coughed, put on a lazy smile, and her tone was a bit stern, "What are your names?"
These two maids were temporarily arranged by the person she should call "Daddy" yesterday. They were very unfamiliar. She knew that they didn't treat her as a lady at all, so it was necessary to give her some power.
She could see that their steps were light and their breathing was steady. She was afraid that they were all skilled in martial arts and were not ordinary maids at all. However, she was not sure who they were, but now she was sure that they were all from the palace.
The emperor's hand is quite long, and there are many chess pieces, but Feng Cangqiong seems to be able to handle it, so he doesn't need to worry about it.
"My name is Xia He"
"My name is Dongxue"
The two maids came back to their senses, and their words were unconvincing and condescending. In their eyes, the changes in the ninth lady yesterday were nothing more than a fake show of power, thinking that they would be arrogant after marrying into the palace and being protected by Prince Cang.
Feng Cangqiong frowned slightly, and his eyes flashed with a sharp look.
