Chu Zongge yawned slightly, then looked at the light shadow at the entrance of the palace and laughed: I have been waiting for you in Xinyang Hall for a long time, why have you only come now?

Xue Ronghua coldly handed the palace lamp over to the palace maid and said: "I met Consort Fu, she let me stay for dinner."

Chu Zongge's heart froze, "... You met the Consort Fu? "

"Yes," Xue Ronghua walked into the hall by herself, "She just married from the Qi Nation not long ago."

Chu Zongge's eyes dimmed, "I'm sorry, I should have told you about this."

Xue Ronghua smiled, "It's okay, but do you forget to tell me, or do you not want to tell me?"

There was an irresistible stubbornness in her eyes. Chu Zongge was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "I don't want to tell you."

Xue Ronghua took a deep breath, "Why didn't you want to tell me? Did you think I would volunteer to be this marriage princess, marry into the Qi Nation, and return to Meng Qianzhong's side?"

Chu Zongge was startled, and said hesitantly: "I never thought of that …"

"You really didn't?" Xue Ronghua stared at him in disbelief. "You never believed me, you've always suspected me."

"I don't suspect you," Chu Zongge said as he slowly lowered his eyes. "I suspect myself."

Xue Ronghua smirked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Do you know?" "You know that Meng Qianzhong still has your tablet, so it's right there in the Donghua Palace. All the new concubines from the harem need to go kneel in front of your tablet, and Meng Qianzhong is staying in the Donghua Palace!"

Xue Ronghua's mind was struck by lightning, she opened her eyes wide in shock, and asked, "What did you say?"

Chu Zongge lowered his head, moisture curling in his eyes, "Meng Qianzhong still loves you, don't tell me that you didn't know."

"What are you thinking," Xue Ronghua said hoarsely, "Just because of this, you determined that Meng Qianzhong has a past relationship with me?"

Chu Zongge continued to lower his head, "Otherwise, when I meet the emperor at Luan Feng Palace, his gaze towards the willow forest will always be … What is gone is always the most unforgettable. "

"Chu Zongge," Xue Ronghua revealed a smile that had an unknown meaning, "Have you ever loved anyone else deeply?"

Chu Zongge looked at her in a daze, "I … In my previous life, I was busy trying to ascend the throne to the Crown Prince, and I have never fallen in love with any woman. "

"Then you don't understand what it feels like to fall in love with someone," Xue Ronghua smiled lightly as she shook her head. "Nor do you understand what it feels like to be betrayed by someone you love and be pierced through the heart by thousands of arrows."

Chu Zongge looked at her in silence, a dark emotion surging in his eyes.

A trace of malice flashed past Xue Ronghua's eyes, "Perhaps, he left my tablet, maybe she has some kind of past relationship with me, but this kind of past relationship will only make me feel disgusted," with hatred at the corner of her lips, she said slowly, "Back then she mercilessly massacred my entire clan, but today she has done something so called 'nostalgic'. What makes Meng Qianzhong feel disgusted is not his viciousness, but his hypocritical act."

Chu Zongge said anxiously: "You're not going to be that marriage princess are you?"

"I'm already your would-be wangfei, what kind of marriage princess would you think you're a princess?" Xue Ronghua chuckled, "What's wrong with you? Always imagining things that simply won't happen."

Chu Zongge took a deep breath and held her hand, his eyes filled with emotions, "I don't know why, but I'm always afraid of losing you. Maybe it's because I lost too much in my previous life, and can't catch you in this life."

"Since the heavens have given us a chance to reincarnate, then naturally, it means that we have to choose the life we want to live once again. There's no need for you to think any further."

"Rong Hua," Chu Zongge leaned on her shoulder, and took a deep breath to smell the fragrance of the flowers in her hair, "you are really my greatest fortune."

"Really," Xue Ronghua's red lips lightly brushed past his cheek, "I thought that I was your lucky chance."

"Doom?" Chu Zongge slightly raised his brows, and said with a smile, "Then I'm willing to die for you, just like those peach blossoms."

Hearing the word Peach Blossom, Xue Ronghua's face reddened, and she burrowed even deeper into his embrace, "Why are you bringing this up again?"

"You had to say it earlier or even later," Chu Zongge lifted her chin with his fingers, his eyes filled with love. "What about your answer?"

Xue Ronghua lowered her head and nodded, the smile on her lips was actually even more dazzling than that day's peach blossoms. She tiptoed to meet his star-like eyes, and lightly kissed his forehead.

"This... Whether it's an answer or not. "

The moonlight in the courtyard of the Xinyang Hall melted like a pool. Chu Zongge was immersed in the beautiful scenery of a beautiful morning, but in his heart, he was only as beautiful as a flower.

"Of course."

The sound of the lute flowed through the palace like a stream of water. Bright sunlight shone through the crisscrossing branches, casting mottled shadows across the ground through the gaps in the leaves. A dancer wearing a red dress slowly walked in front of him. Her face was as pretty as a hibiscus as light intertwined on it. Her pair of peach blossom eyes were sparkling. The crown prince was stunned for a moment before a playful smile appeared on his face.

"Crown Prince," the guard whispered in his ear, "this is the dancer sent to you by the prince's son."

"Your Highness, please take care," the Crown Prince said as he raised his jade cup and took a sip, "What's the name of this dancer?"

"Ming Zhu."

"To be able to bring tears back to Jun Mingzhu's eyes, she must be an amazing person," the Crown Prince praised, "What kind of dance are you good at?"

The guard said with a smile: "Spring Dancing."

"Oh?" The Crown Prince's interest was piqued, "Let her come and take a look."

The guard gave a look to the head dancer. After the head dancer understood, she clapped her hands four or five times in the air, and the gentle and gentle sound of the pipa was immediately replaced with the imposing sound of a drum.

"Hey, the Spring Dancing always has a lute or a kite, why does she sound like a drum?" The Crown Prince was confused.

The guard did not understand the reason, so he immediately called the head waiter over. The head waiter stood in front of him with a face full of smiles, and explained: "Crown Prince, this is the new Spring Dancing that the dancers have modified."

The Crown Prince blankly nodded his head, but his eyes were glued to the pearl which was slowly stretching its waist.

The head waiter knew that the crown prince had gained a lot of interest and could not help but feel even more pleased with himself. "The Spring Dancing is usually left in the spring, but it's summer now, so I'll have to make some changes."

The Crown Prince stared at the continuously spinning pearls with a silly smile, "Since it's a summer dance, it's a summer dance.

Ming Zhu who was circling around seemed to hear something, she followed the rhythm and spun slower and slower, finally stopping in her tracks. During this period of stillness, Ming Zhu cast a glance at the impatient expression on the guests' faces, wrapping her sleeves and covering her mouth with a smile. With a swoosh, she lightly leaped up, throwing her long sleeves into the air.

The Crown Prince stood up in a daze. His sleeves were like a waterfall that was flowing backwards, seemingly wanting to break the sky. When he looked up, his eyes were filled with broken sunlight, and there was almost no trace of his sleeves.

Mingzhu's smile was like a flower as she calmly withdrew her sleeves. The crown prince's soul followed her swaying sleeves and slowly sat back down on his seat. In that split-second when she pulled out her sleeves, the pearl did not seem to be dancing with her sleeves. Instead, it was as if a cold, treasured sword had been drawn out, piercing straight into the sky and wanting to shatter the azure sky.

The Crown Prince was like a pool of spring water as he weakly sat on his chair. His eyes were filled with the light of swords and sabers. For a moment, he was at a loss, unable to say a word.

"Crown Prince," the guard saw that he was drunk and quickly pushed him, "Crown Prince, are you drunk?"

The Crown Prince was stunned, he flipped over the table like a carp, "I'm not drunk."

The guard was relieved and asked, "The dancers have finished performing. What does the Crown Prince want to reward?"

"I want to reward many things," the Crown Prince said with an ambiguous smile, "but I have to go to my palace to receive my rewards."

A trace of understanding flashed in the guard's eyes, "This servant will immediately make the arrangements."

Because of the continuous rain, the temperature in the capital had dropped quite a bit in the past few days, especially in the evening, when the cool breeze that blew through the forest blew across his face, bringing with it a cool and refreshing feeling.

Xue Liuhua took Ru Yan for a walk in the flower garden, the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers, she took a deep breath. As expected, pregnant people still had to go out for a walk, always staying in the palace was not good for the emperor’s kid who was in their stomachs.

"Ru Yan," Xue Liuhua waved her nose, "What flower is this?"

Ru Yan raised the tip of her nose to take a closer look, and said with a smile, "Empress, this is Mu Furong."

"Hibiscus? This fragrance is really light, "Xue Liuhua smiled lightly," Ever since I became pregnant, my sense of smell has deteriorated and I almost couldn't smell it.

"The flower fragrance of the Hibiscus Mutabilis is indeed light. If Empress likes it, this servant will pick some gardenia flowers and the fragrance of those flowers is very rich."

"No need," Xue Liuhua shook her head, "The smell of the Gardenia Flower is too strong, making me dizzy from the smoke. Tomorrow morning, go and see if there are any more water lotuses in the large vat in the Trembling Bell Hall, and gather a few of the purple flowers for the Yongle Palace."

Ru Yan nodded. The master and the servant talked as they walked, slowly walking to a place close to the Changchun Palace.

Xue Liuhua was startled as she looked at the brightly lit palace. "This is the empress's palace right? It seems like I haven't gone to pay my respects to her for a long time."

Ru Yan calculated the days, "It has probably been five or six days since the Empress left."

"Is it that long? "Then let's go in now." Xue Liuhua held her hand and walked into the palace. Empress Chen had never liked her, and hadn't paid respects for a long time.

When she entered the hall, she discovered that there were two people inside. It turned out that the Emperor was also inside the Changchun Palace.

"Chenqie pays her respects to Your Majesty and the Empress."

The Emperor turned his head and looked closely. "Consort Hua, why did you come here with a big stomach?" He looked at Empress Chen, "What? When she carries his child, you still let her come to your palace to pay respects? "

Empress Chen lightly swept a glance at Consort Hua and explained with a smile: "Chenqie already told Consort Hua not to come greet you again, I don't know why you came again."

"Chenqie was out for a walk and coincidentally happened to pass by, wanting to consult the Empress about her pregnancy, so she came in," Xue Liuhua said as she sat next to the emperor while holding his bulging stomach. "Your majesty, don't blame the empress.

Ru Yan helped her to sit down and exchanged a glance with the Empress Chen at the side.

Empress Chen cleared his throat and said, "I heard that Prince Duan's quasi wangfei came to the palace to visit you?"

"Yes, I came a few days ago."

"Why didn't you stay in the palace for a few more days?"

"She still has some matters to take care of in her residence. I'll head back first."

Empress Chen gave a long "Oh", which was somewhat regretful.
