Chapter 248 Yueyue I care about everything I lost
"Father and the Empress have their own ideas on what to do. When Concubine Su takes the bait, they will summon Yueyue to inspect the 'Huiyuan Soup'. The Emperor will know what that person's intentions are, and he will decide what to do with them."
Xu Xinyue was still a little uneasy, and felt that things were not that simple: "Did you guys just talk about this? Did you talk about anything else? I heard some noises outside..."
Qin Yuechuan turned his head and stared at her with a smile: "Yueyue has made great contributions this time, so I asked for a title for Yueyue. After this matter is settled, my father will issue an order."
"……title?"
"I wanted to get the title of Princess for Yueyue, but my father has many concerns, so I can only temporarily appease her with the title of County Princess. But it doesn't matter, if there is a chance in the future..."
So is that what the argument was about?
Xu Xianyue frowned slightly: "Qin Yuechuan, I don't really care."
Qin Yuechuan knew what she wanted to say, and said with a burning gaze, "But I care. I care about everything Yueyue lost because of me."
"I know Yueyue is indifferent to fame and fortune. She doesn't care about being the heir of a duke or the position of a princess. Because of what I have lost -"
He lifted one of Xu Xinyue's hands and pressed it against his heart. Xu Xinyue felt the strong heartbeats against his palm and heard him say, "I remember everything here. I will return everything that belongs to you."
Xu Xinyue never thought that even after so long, he still took this matter to heart.
"Qin Yuechuan, I said it's not all because of you. These are my own choices. If I want to get something, I have to give up something. I have to bear it myself."
“Not all of them, but some of them, right?”
"It's okay, Yueyue, you just need to make your own choice, and I will get back whatever you lost."
Xu Xinyue looked at him for a long time, then smiled with relief: "From your tone, it seems like it's already done. That's it, so I won't be so hypocritical. Come to think of it, it makes sense. Having a title will always sound better than being a commoner princess."
Xu Xinyue said half seriously and half jokingly.
Qin Yuechuan heard that there seemed to be something else hidden in her words, and hurriedly said: "Yueyue, that's not what I meant. Whether she is a commoner or not, or has a title or not, Yueyue is——"
"I know. How could I not understand your painstaking efforts?" She changed the subject and asked, "What is that title?"
"Rong Yue."
"Hmm? Which one..."
"This is my 'Rong'. I want to share everything I have with Yueyue. This word is taken from my mother. She will definitely protect Yueyue and bring her peace and prosperity."
Xu Xianyue saw that his tone was like that of a child seeking credit, and couldn't help laughing: "Then is the other one my moon character?"
"The joy of the heart."
Xu Xinyue was embarrassed.
……
After the birthday banquet, Zhou Luer and Hu Linye's families had to get engaged in order to cover up the shame.
In order to look good, they just said that they were children of two families, who met for the first time at a birthday party, fell in love at first sight, and developed feelings for each other, and then the two families got engaged.
The Hu family was overjoyed, as the issue they had been worrying about for years was finally resolved. The Zhou family, on the other hand, was sighing and groaning, feeling miserable.
Zhou Luer cried and begged, but no one responded. She cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang herself. She tried everything, but still nothing worked. She could only accept it and endure it.
Qin Zhaolie did not attend the birthday banquet due to his leg injury. It was also heard that the emperor fainted in public at the banquet.
This matter was of great importance, and it caused a great uproar in the court and the country. Although the news had spread in the palace that the emperor was now conscious, but had just suffered a relapse of his old illness, although it was no longer a serious problem, it still caused a lot of discussion among the court officials.
The most talked about topic is undoubtedly the issue of the succession. The current emperor has many heirs, but what is puzzling is that he has never clearly designated who will be the future crown prince.
Qin Zhaolie lay on his back on the Huanghuali plain Luohan couch, listening to the secret guard's report with his eyes closed, while enjoying the personal service of the maid. But for some reason, compared with Xu Yuqiong's service in the past few days, he always felt that something was missing.
He said lazily, "That's all?"
"Your Majesty, that's all. His Majesty is no longer in danger. The most discussed topic among the court officials right now is who will be the crown prince... You and Prince Rong are the ones who are discussing this the most..."
"At most? There are others?"
"Prince Yu, Prince Xin and others also have their own supporters..."
Qin Zhaolie sneered: "They are not powerful enough, the mother palace
Is there any news?"
"I have already inquired about Concubine Su's situation. Your Majesty's illness this time has nothing to do with the medicine. I heard that Your Majesty was still talking in his sleep and mentioned Concubine Su. I guess he didn't suspect anything.
Ruodong in the palace of Concubine Su also specifically instructed that the ingredients for the soup should not be cut off from Prince Qi's Mansion, so the plan should continue as usual and there is no need to worry. "
"Since mother said so, if we interrupt it rashly now, it will only make things worse and arouse suspicion. So we will do as she said."
The maid beside him kept massaging his arms silently without saying a word, and Qin Zhaolie's eyes involuntarily fell on her dull profile.
Xu Yuqiong's charming, pretty and seductive face appeared clearly in front of him, as well as the faint and alluring fragrance emanating from her body, which seemed to still linger at the tip of his nose and had not dissipated.
What is even more unforgettable is her unique skills and techniques when serving him. Every movement is just right and can always easily touch the softest string deep in his heart.
That kind of shy yet passionate charming nature is really irresistible. Thinking of such romantic things in his mind, Qin Zhaolie was unconsciously eager to do something.
Qin Zhaolie closed his eyes and reveled in the taste, which was rare for him: "It would be the best if I could have a taste of that 'delicious' flavor."
At the same time, in the Xu Mansion, ever since the incident at the birthday banquet, with Xu Yuqiong's intentional or unintentional instigation, her relationship with Xu Mingxi has become increasingly close, to the point where they can talk about anything.
Even Green Feather, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh sometimes: "The old saying is really true: cooperative friendships often begin with a common enemy."
While Lu Yu was dyeing Kou Dan for Xu Yuqiong, he reported the news he had heard to her in detail:
"Xu Baiyu was sent back to the Xu Mansion by the palace today. He is really lucky. He was tortured like that, but he was able to survive. I think he has a lot of resentment. If she hears that you are on good terms with Xu Mingxi, she will probably make things difficult for you in the future."
Xu Yuqiong didn't care: "What are you afraid of? She's just a useless chess piece. If I'm right, Xu Guanghai will definitely not keep such a disgraceful daughter in the mansion. Xu Baiyu may not stay in the Xu mansion for long."
