The concubine is soft and charming, and the prince is willing to seduce her

Chapter 165 Treat your head as a decoration
Snowball scratched a crack in the window of Chengqian Palace and jumped in lightly. He curiously saw the sticky scene of two humans on the couch.

Wei Qingye held the person in his arms and rubbed her back from time to time.

Snowball lay on the beauty couch with his head tilted, curled up into a furry ball. Chai Hui, who was on night watch outside, saw Xiao Guizi grinning foolishly, hit him with his whisk, and asked in a low voice: "What are you laughing at? Aren't you afraid of being disrespectful in front of the palace and being punished?" Xiao Guizi smiled and came up to him, whispering: "I heard the eunuchs in the Ministry of Internal Affairs complain that they went to various palaces to deliver new teacups today, and their legs are almost broken."

The master of Chengqian Palace was cared for by the Crown Prince all day long. He did not have the arrogance of a phoenix flying to the tree and was always kind to the servants.

She deserves to have such wealth and favor!

Chai Hui glanced at him and said, "Whatever the matter is, just keep it in your mind. Don't let your mouth speak carelessly."

Xiao Guizi quickly pulled out a purse from his sleeve and stuffed it into Chai Hui's hand. "This is what Concubine Yue specifically told me to give you when I announced the Crown Prince's imperial decree to her this morning."

Chai Hui shook the purse in his hand. It was quite heavy!

Unexpectedly, he didn't have time to read the imperial edict today, so he gave this task to Xiao Guizi, who is smart and capable.

"From now on, you should stay by my side and keep those hoods on your head brighter. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong in front of the palace, don't blame me for not pleading for you."

Chai Hui's words made Xiao Guizi's eyes light up.

He said with gratitude: "Thank you for your advice, Master Xiao Chai. From now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west."

Chai Hui snorted coldly, "Anyone can say such nice words, it depends on how you do it."

Xiao Guizi held up three fingers and said sincerely, "Xiao Guizi, keep your word. If you break your word, you will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

Chai Hui waved his hand at him and said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense here, go and keep watch over there. I'll take a nap."

Chai Hui stayed with the Crown Prince for twelve hours a day. Whenever there was an order, he would go and do it. Lack of sleep was a common occurrence for him.

Now that he has a clever little apprentice by his side, he can relax a little.

An hour later, the sound of hurried footsteps on the stone steps woke Chai Hui up. Xiao Guizi hurried forward to stop him and asked, "Which palace do you work for? How come you don't even know the rules?"

The little maid knelt on the ground tremblingly and said, "Li Zhaoyuan sent me to ask to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, saying that someone found a body near Changle Palace."

When Chai Hui heard this, he shook his head and walked over from the bottom of the corridor, "When a body is found, shouldn't we ask the Ministry of Punishment to come and check it out?
Li Zhaoyuan is in charge of the six palaces, how could she not understand such a thing? "

The little palace maid was frightened by Chai Hui's sharp eyes and lowered her head. She suddenly grabbed Xiao Guizi's clothes, knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly.

"Eunuch Xiao Chai, I was indeed sent by Li Zhaoyuan to look for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The body was found near Changle Palace. Concubine Yue refused to open the palace gate, so Li Zhaoyuan had no choice but to let me come to beg His Royal Highness. This explanation still needs to be given~"

Chai Hui took the whisk in his hand and slapped her on the face, and said to Xiao Guizi: "Why are you still standing there? If you encounter such a person, just gag her and drag her away. Are you really going to let her be so arrogant in front of Chengqian Palace?!"

Seeing this, the little maid opened her mouth to yell, but Xiao Guizi quickly blocked her mouth and pinched her neck, "If you don't want to live, I can send you to see the King of Hell."

The young palace maid was so frightened by Xiao Guizi's dark eyes that she forgot to resist and struggle for a moment.

The impatient voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came from the palace: "Chai Hui, what happened outside?"

Chai Hui slapped himself on the forehead and said, "You have to keep an eye on her for me. There can't be any mistakes." Xiao Guizi nodded quickly. He couldn't let himself do something wrong on the first night that he was valued.

Chai Hui hurriedly opened the palace door and went in to report, "Your Highness, someone from Li Zhaoyuan's side suddenly came outside and said that a body was found outside Changle Palace. They also said that Concubine Yue avoided seeing them and refused to give an explanation. Please give me some advice."

After Wei Qingye learned the general situation, four words emerged in his mind: frame-up.

If Zhizhi had not been living with him in Chengqian Palace for the past few days, he would have been unable to defend himself after being splashed with such dirty water.

"What else do these women do in the harem every day besides using their brains as decorations and being jealous of each other?"

Chai Hui twitched his lips. This was not something a mere slave like him could answer casually.

"Zhizhi hasn't been sleeping well these past two days. If you wake her up, I will never forgive you."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to the inner room with a sullen face, leaving Chai Hui standing alone in the outer hall, not knowing how to explain the matter.

Chai Hui's legs were numb from standing in the hall again, and then he heard a voice from inside: "Get out, don't stand in there and get in the way."

The palace door was opened, and Chai Hui came out, and saw Xiao Guizi looking at him with a worried look on his face, "Master, are you okay?"

Chai Hui did not push away his hand that was supporting her, "Your Highness has spoken up. If Li Zhaoyuan cannot handle the situation herself and cannot make up her mind, she can wait until the Crown Prince is free tomorrow and then send someone to ask for instructions."

The little maid struggled on the ground for a long time before slowly getting up, "Yes, I understand."

She was very nervous on the way back, fearing that she would die for failing to complete the task assigned by Li Zhaoyuan.

A group of servants carrying lanterns gathered not far from Changle Palace. Li Zhaoyuan saw her coming back through the crowd and frowned, "Why did you come back by yourself? Where is the Crown Prince?"

After such a big incident, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't even give her this face, right?

The maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, “I am useless and cannot invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Eunuch Xiao Chai said, if you can't make up your mind, wait until your highness is free tomorrow and then send someone to ask."

These words sounded a bit like questioning her inability to manage the six palaces properly, and that she had to go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for advice whenever she encountered any problem.

Li Zhaoyuan looked friendly on the surface, but in fact she had already taken a heavy grudge against Eunuch Xiao Chai in her heart.

"You didn't do your job well. Ben Zhaoyuan didn't punish you for your poor performance, but you started crying first."

The little maid quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "My servant has failed in his duties, please spare my life, Master."

Li Zhaoyuan rubbed her brows with a headache, "Then sisters, go back first. I will order people to guard the scene here. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has time tomorrow and Changle Palace opens, we will discuss this matter again."

The group of people then gradually left in twos and threes.

　I’ll try to post three updates tonight, see if that’s possible.
