Chapter 220 I really don’t want to stay in this palace for a moment
The queen was so angry when she heard what the prince said that she couldn't breathe. Aunt Mo Sang came over and patted her back to calm her down.
Seeing the Queen's anger, Xiao Lingye softened his tone.
"Mother, have you forgotten how I healed my leg? If it weren't for Qingge, I would never have been able to stand up again, let alone marry and have children. She loves me so deeply, how could I let her down?"
"The past is the past, the present is the present. Now that you are well, you must take the responsibilities that you should take."
"Don't worry about this. I know my responsibilities, but if you insist on giving me a concubine, then I will not be the crown prince."
When the queen heard him say that he would not be the crown prince anymore, she was so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand.
"What did you say? Great, you are really my good son. You even gave up your future for a woman."
Aunt Mo Sang saw this and quickly persuaded
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry, or you'll get sick from anger. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young and devoted to the Crown Princess. It's better to wait and see when choosing a concubine."
Although the Queen was furious, Xiao Lingye remained calm. He could compromise on other matters, but not on this one.
Qingge is the one he holds dear, how could he let her suffer any injustice?
Because of Lin Ruoyue's incident, she started to avoid him. He didn't dare to think that if his mother really gave him a concubine, then according to Qingge's personality, she would probably never forgive him in this life.
She is not from this world, and her thoughts are different from those here. What if she returns to her world in anger? What will he do then?
The Queen looked at the Crown Prince's stubborn look. He probably wouldn't listen to anything at the moment. If she pushed him too far, he might really give up his position as Crown Prince.
She thought about it, slowed down her tone and said
"It's okay if you don't take a concubine, but I want to see Qingge pregnant as soon as possible. The time limit is six months!"
"Okay, I'll obey you, Mother."
Xiao Lingye answered without thinking
The Queen didn't expect him to agree so quickly, so let's just leave it at that for now. She didn't believe his mind would always be on the Crown Princess.
Xiao Lingye stood up and said
"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
The queen waved to him and asked him to leave. Looking at his back, the queen could not help but sigh that this was the first time that the mother and son blushed.
It's really hard to keep a child when he grows up.
-
Xiao Lingye returned to the East Palace and saw that Qingge was not in the bedroom. He looked for her everywhere and was finally told that she was in the back garden.
He couldn't wait to go to the back garden and saw her boating on the lake, wandering among the lotus flowers.
She was sitting barefoot in the boat, with a large part of her white and tender feet exposed, and her knees were filled with lotus flowers and lotus pods.
At this moment, the only word in his mind was "people are prettier than flowers". His little wife is really more beautiful than flowers.
After Xie Qing left, Ye Qingge looked at the lotus pods in the pond and wanted to pick some.
She picked some and when she felt she had enough, she lay back. The layers of lotus leaves blocked the glaring sunlight for her. She just lay there, wandering among the lotus flowers, feeling so comfortable.
Before she knew it, she was beginning to feel sleepy. She propped her head with her hands, intending to take a short nap. His Highness probably wouldn't be back for a while...
The eunuch who was rowing the boat saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waving at him, so he quietly rowed the boat to the shore. Xiao Lingye let the eunuch go ashore, and he took the pole and rowed the boat back to the lotus leaves.
He just quietly looked at Qingge's sleeping face. At this moment, beads of sweat were on her forehead. Her little face was pink and as tempting as a peach, making people want to take a bite. This is probably what "beauty is a feast for the eyes" means.
After a while, Ye Qingge almost closed her eyes. She thought His Highness should be back soon, so she said
"Little Leo, please dock the boat. His Highness will be worried if he doesn't see me when he returns."
She hadn't opened her eyes yet, and didn't know that someone had already changed behind her.
After not hearing the sound of the boat for a long time, she couldn't help but stand up and look back. When she turned around, she fell into a familiar embrace. She looked up in surprise.
"Your Highness, why didn't you tell me you were here?"
Xiao Lingye hugged her in his arms
"You are sleeping so soundly, how can I bear to disturb you"
Ye Qingge felt warm in her heart. She picked up the lotus pod beside her and waved it in front of Xiao Lingye.
"Your Highness, look, I picked these lotus pods and I'll peel the lotus seeds for you to eat."
After she finished speaking, she began to peel the lotus seeds. She picked up a lotus seed and fed it to Xiao Lingye's mouth.
Xiao Lingye took the lotus seeds from her hand and said
"My beloved concubine feeds me with her own mouth"
Ye Qingge didn't understand what it meant at first, but then she thought of something and her face turned red.
"Your Highness, I'm so embarrassed to be here."
"It's okay, all the palace servants have left."
"But……"
"My beloved concubine is unwilling?"
"I don't have any."
Ye Qingge held the lotus seeds he handed over with her lips, then climbed up his neck and raised her lips to
The fragrance of lotus seeds filled their mouths. Ye Qingge let go of him at the right time and asked shyly
"Your Highness, is it delicious?"
Xiao Lingye looked unsatisfied.
"Compared to lotus seeds, Ai Fei is more delicious"
Then he sealed her lips again
The two of them moved too much, and the small boat floated up and down among the lotus leaves. Ye Qingge nervously grabbed the edge of the boat, afraid of falling off.
Seeing the person on her body enjoying himself so much, she was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She pushed Xiao Lingye at the right time, and Xiao Lingye looked up at her in confusion.
"Your Highness, this little boat probably can't withstand all your efforts. If it capsizes, wouldn't it be embarrassing if the news gets out?"
Xiao Lingye looked at her and said
"Don't you think it's exciting here, my dear?"
Ye Qingge looked at the layers of lotus leaves beside her and the blue sky and white clouds above her head, and she felt relaxed physically and mentally.
"This place is indeed nice, but it is really not suitable, Your Highness, please..."
Ye Qingge said almost pleadingly
Xiao Lingye saw that she was really unwilling, so he let her go.
"I just remembered the night we spent on the grass, so I couldn't help myself."
Ye Qingge said after hearing this
"Your Highness, this is the Imperial Palace after all. If you and I were here in broad daylight... and word got out, wouldn't people say Your Highness was committing adultery and I was defiled in the harem?"
Xiao Lingye listened to her serious analysis of the key points, smiled and helped her up
"My beloved concubine can still be so rational at this moment. I really don't want to stay in this palace for a moment. It's restricted everywhere."
Ye Qingge couldn't help laughing when she heard him complain
“I think this place is pretty good.”
"What's good? Why didn't you tell me what happened at the palace banquet yesterday?"
Ye Qingge frowned, confused. What happened at the palace banquet?
"I just went to see my mother and asked her not to take the initiative to choose a concubine for me."
So that's what happened, Ye Qingge said quickly
"Your Highness, I am fine. Please don't go to my mother because of this matter. She is your mother after all. Don't let this hurt your relationship, otherwise my mother will hate me in the future."
Xiao Lingye looked at her and said distressedly:
"Qingge, don't blame yourself. I will never take a concubine. Don't worry."
At this time, Ye Qingge's eyes were red.
Ling Ye, you can fight against the Queen for me, but can you fight against the entire court, or even the entire Dongling, in the future?
She didn't dare to think about how much pressure that must be. Maybe she really shouldn't have monopolized him and made things difficult for him...
