Chapter 178: Drunk in the Land of Tenderness
At present, Concubine Shen seems to be a good partner.
She was able to marry into the palace when other couples were in love, and now she has won the heart of the prince. I think she is not as gentle and kind as she appears.
Early the next morning.
She pretended nothing had happened, went back to the elegant courtyard through that door, had breakfast together, and then walked out through the main gate with confidence.
But as soon as he went out, he was stopped by Qianyue.
"Ma'am, the princess invites you over for tea."
At this moment, Qianyue looked at her with hostility.
It seems that after what happened last night, she and Su Rong are destined not to be friends.
"I haven't slept all night, and I haven't had time to change my clothes. Can you allow me to go back and change clothes before serving tea to the princess?"
Before going, she wanted to make some preparations.
Qianyue glanced at her with disdain, as if she was some kind of dirty thing at the moment.
Then he took a few steps back.
"Thank you."
Seeing that she had no objection, Yun Meng walked back to her own yard.
After changing clothes, he went to Jingyiyuan.
As the door closed, the light dimmed.
Yunmeng knelt down without saying a word.
"Please forgive me, Princess."
Unexpectedly, Su Rong helped her up very kindly.
"What sin do you want to forgive? Didn't you do well? You became the prince's woman so quickly and won his favor."
She was smiling widely.
Yunmeng felt a chill on her back.
The way she behaved was even scarier than when she was directly angry.
"Princess, I..."
"Stop saying you don't want to. Now that you've become the prince's concubine, you'll belong to the prince for the rest of your life."
Su Rong took her hand and patted it gently, as if they were very close.
"I was in a trance before and said those foolish things. I had just come back from Concubine Shen at that time. She told me some things that made me treat you so badly. Please don't take it to heart, Yunmeng. You and I have been master and servant for many years. You know how I treated you all these years, right?"
She smiled, and there seemed to be some regret in her words.
Yun Meng was a little confused for a moment, and subconsciously thought about the deeper meaning of her words.
So she hit herself that day and said those vicious words all because of Concubine Shen?
Is Concubine Shen full of hostility towards her?
"Yunmeng, you should know my feelings for the prince. Before Concubine Shen came into the palace, the prince was devoted to me, but now he has completely changed. She is very cunning, and I don't understand those twists and turns, so I am always tricked by her. It was she who instigated you to be unfaithful to me and asked me to be on guard against you. I was upset for a while, and seeing that the prince always went to your place, I lost my mind."
Su Rong explained earnestly, every word coming from her was sincere.
After knowing her for many years, Yun Meng found that she was indeed simple and kind. After hearing these words, she was a little shaken.
Could it be that Concubine Shen is really too scheming?
"How come we have been master and servant for many years, but just because of that slap, you no longer trust me?"
Yunmeng was silent for a moment.
Su Rong showed a sad and disappointed expression.
This made Yunmeng suddenly think of the kindness she had shown him in the past.
After all, she was the one who saved my life.
"Of course not. I am just worried that you will misunderstand me and never trust me again..."
Since the lives belong to her, how can I go against her?
Yunmeng felt a little soft-hearted at this moment.
Su Rong immediately squeezed out two tears and her eyes turned red.
"I swear, I will never lose control like that again."
Yunmeng's eyes also turned red and she nodded, as if everything had returned to the way it was before at that moment.
It seemed that Yan Chu had taken a concubine, so he had been visiting Shen Zhishu frequently in the past two days.
Every time we would cling to each other for a long time.
Shen Zhishu lay on the bed, pressing his chest against hers.
Because of the entanglement just now, I was a little breathless.
"My Lord, do you still want your child?"
I could indulge myself in it before, but now I really can’t.
But Yan Chu just loved to pester her, and he always felt unsatisfied. After a long time, it aroused his evil desire.
She looked at him with a wronged expression, her cheeks flushed, but her eyes seemed to be filled with a lake of water that was about to leak out.
Yan Chu's body stiffened instantly and remained in that position for a long time.
Finally, he sighed silently, fell beside her, and covered his eyes with his arms.
The heavy breathing made Shen Zhishu feel a little uneasy, and he quietly moved away from him.
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, didn't I just take a concubine? Why did he come to her and ask for so much?
"Your Highness has been coming back very late from court these past few days. Is it because the court is busy? Has your father's health recovered a little?"
She quickly found a topic to distract him.
"My father is old, and his health is just like that."
Yan Chu's voice was still a little hoarse.
So, does that mean it's almost over?
In his previous life, the emperor passed away this winter.
Counting the time, it’s only been three months.
"When will King Shuo return to Kyoto?"
He has been suppressing bandits for quite a long time, right?
"In the past two days, he has sent someone to deliver documents. All the criminals have been arrested and will be sent to Kyoto for interrogation soon."
"He did a good job, and the emperor will probably reward him."
Shen Zhishu reminded carefully.
"So what? Even if Father wants to make him the crown prince, what can we do?"
Yan Chu smiled nonchalantly.
Then he loosened his arms, revealing his deep, bright eyes, staring at her closely.
"I have Shu'er's help, so I don't care about him at all. No matter how favored my father is, in the end, that position will be mine. Shu'er doesn't have to worry."
He is ambitious and exudes confidence.
"My concern is just that you may be unhappy because you are not successful."
She turned over, facing him sideways, and acted as if her eyes were fixed on him.
When he becomes emperor in the future, it shouldn't be difficult for him to make her a concubine or something like that, right?
As for the queen, Shen Zhishu had no such plan.
Of course, it couldn't be Su Rong.
She thought she was in the supreme position and that she was unique in Yan Chu's mind, so naturally she wanted a dispensable person to sit there.
Otherwise, how can we break her obsession?
"Does Shuer understand me so well?"
Yan Chu couldn't help but feel curious. He asked himself whether he and Shu'er had ever talked about their ideals and ambitions when they were together, or even the affairs of state.
But she seemed to know everything and could always help him and relieve his worries.
"I don't quite understand, but I will keep trying. After all, I care a lot about the prince's preferences."
Shen Zhishu smiled slightly.
But in her heart, she was thinking, how can she find a queen that the prince can also be satisfied with? That queen can replace Su Rong and make him willing?
But to Yan Chu's ears, these words sounded like the most straightforward love words.
He couldn't help but touch her cheek.
"Actually, children are not that important..."
His voice, which had gradually become clearer, became heavy again.
Shen Zhishu slapped his hand away, turned over and was about to get out of bed.
