Chapter 17 On Whose Couch

Wei Qingye slept on the couch in Chongming Palace for a long time before waking up. Chai Hui quickly ordered someone to serve him food.

Seeing that His Highness was in a good mood today, Chai Hui dared to bring up the matter: "Your Highness, Qi Xiaoshu from the Library has been asking to see Your Highness these past two days. What do you think?"

Wei Qingye wiped his hands slowly and methodically, and then thought of the time when the pretty boy in the small garden tried to make a move on Nan Zhiyu. He said in a cold voice, "Am I such a free person?"

Chai Hui echoed, "Your Highness is busy with affairs of state and has no time to see him."

Wei Qingye originally wanted to go back to Chengqian Palace, but he turned around and walked towards the Crown Princess's Ganlu Palace.

Chai Hui jogged behind him, knowing that he had messed up the situation by talking too much this time.

At noon the sun was obscured by clouds and became a little gloomy.

Crown Prince Wei Qingye entered the Ganlu Palace and saw the Crown Princess and the people behind her greeting each other. He paused and then walked over.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

After paying her respects, the Crown Princess stepped slightly behind the Crown Prince, her eyes full of joy, "Your Highness, last night was very busy, you should have a good rest today.

Wei Qingye entered, glanced at the delicious food on the table, frowned slightly, and said, "I've ignored you for a while, so I came here to check on you."

Qi Zhaoying's face lit up with joy. She followed the prince and found a seat to sit down. "If I had known that Your Highness would come, I would have asked someone to prepare a few more dishes."

Wei Qingye looked at her with a cold expression, his eyes so gloomy that it was impossible to look directly at them.

The Crown Princess turned pale and said, "If Your Highness feels that there is anything wrong, you can tell me and I will definitely change it in the future."

Wei Qingye recalled that he had a thorough conversation with the minister of the Ministry of Works last night. Nan Zhiyu quietly asked Chai Hui to prepare tea and midnight snacks. He clearly knew about it before leaving the palace. He must have had an idea in his mind at that time, but he was stupid enough to push the credit directly to others.

As the Crown Princess, Qi Zhaoying was incompetent and shallow, and was already unable to handle such a big responsibility. Now she was acting so extravagantly and wastefully...

Wei Qingye was sitting in the armchair, dozing off, his mind empty.

Qi Zhaoying winked at Yin, the manager beside her, and raised her hand. Soon a graceful palace maid came over, looking quite alluring and charming.

Those eyes filled with charm could not move away when they saw the prince, and their gaze was almost glued to him.

She walked up to him, holding a black teapot with bamboo and sparrow patterns in her hand, and said in a pinched voice, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, I will pour you some tea."

She lifted the teapot with a smile on her face, and while pouring water, she deliberately swayed her body as the water poured into the prince's arms.

"Oh, Your Highness~" The woman's voice was sticky and seductive, and she deliberately raised her hand to hook Your Highness' neck.

Before she could get close to his red lips, she was pushed to the ground by a force.

Wei Qingye's phoenix eyes became darker and darker, "She is really my Crown Princess, she is so nice!"

He swept the teapot and cups on the table to the ground with a flick of his sleeves, "Who do you think I am? Do you really think I can accept any woman who comes to me?"

Chai Hui also stayed up all night. He was just being careless just now, but the Crown Princess did this. It was really too outrageous.

Just because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not care about what the Crown Princess did before, it does not mean that His Royal Highness's sympathy and love for her as the Crown Princess outweighs the dignity and respect of the Crown Prince.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is simply preoccupied with matters at court and is too lazy to bother with these trivial matters.

The Crown Princess is acting more and more erratically now. Not only does she arrange people privately, but she also tests people so blatantly. How foolish and ignorant!

How could the prince possibly favor a pretentious and coquettish palace maid? They really underestimated His Highness.

After all, in Chengqian Palace, there is Miss Nan, a role model.

I'm afraid the Crown Princess's plans will fail.

Qi Zhaoying didn't know what to say, so she asked back, "I just think that Your Highness is busy with state affairs, and I want to have someone close to you to ask about your well-being. Is that wrong?"

Wei Qingye was really angry at her stupid words. "Since the Crown Princess is so free, why don't you read more "Female Rules" and "Female Regulations" and reflect on yourself." Qi Zhaoying was scolded in public, and tears flowed down her eyes in grievance. "How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say this about me?"

Nanny Fang quickly helped the man up from the ground, "Your Highness, His Highness still has you in his heart, otherwise, why would he reject the person you sent to him?"

Qi Zhaoying raised a bitter smile and grasped the nanny's dry and warm hand, "Mammy, there is no need to comfort me like this. The Crown Prince has no place for me in his heart. Otherwise, how could he leave without caring about my face?"

***
Nan Zhiyu stayed in Chengqian Hall for a whole day and didn't hear any news from Chongming Hall. It was dark outside the window, and Nan Zhiyu looked out the window with complicated eyes.

At this time, footsteps were heard from the outer hall, and Qingdai came in holding a tray, smiling and saying, "Miss, you have been looking at the scenery outside the window all day and you are not tired of it."

Lian Yue, who was tidying up beside the couch, joked, "The girl is not looking at the scenery outside the window, she is clearly waiting for His Highness."

"I heard that your Highness went to the Crown Princess' Ganlu Palace. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back tonight?"

Nan Zhiyu blinked her eyes, thinking that she had helped His Highness so much, but His Highness didn't show any appreciation at all, what a stingy person he was.

Nan Zhiyu put down the book she was casually reading and looked at the dim moonlight outside the window. "I'm tired and want to rest early."

The bright candlelight in the inner room of Chengqian Hall was extinguished, leaving only the lotus-shaped table lamp, and only a few candlesticks were left in the outer hall for lighting.

Nan Zhiyu was sleeping soundly on the bed.

Wei Qingye came back from outside and used his eyes to stop Qingdai and Lianyue from making any noise and disturbing the people inside. He then strode to the bedside.

His slender fingers stroked Nan Zhiyu's soft cheeks like teasing a cat, and he sneered, "You little heartless girl, you sleep so comfortably!"

Nan Zhiyu was awakened by the itch on her face. In a daze, she felt as if there was someone beside her.

It was not until her confused eyes reflected the tall figure in front of her that she finally came to her senses, "Your Highness?"

Isn’t His Royal Highness the Crown Prince staying in the Crown Princess’ Ganlu Palace tonight?

Why did you suddenly return to Chengqian Palace?
Nan Zhiyu was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes. She rubbed her hands against His Highness's like a cat and asked, "Your Highness, why are you back?"

Wei Qingye curled the corners of his lips and raised his hand to pinch her chin, "Miss Nan, you are sleeping soundly, very sweetly."

Nan Zhiyu frowned slightly, "Your Highness didn't send me a single message the entire day, and I was so tired of waiting that I fell asleep."

When His Royal Highness heard her calling herself that, he became inexplicably annoyed and pinched her jaw harder, saying with a mocking tone, "Whose couch are you on? You still call yourself a servant?"

There was a thin layer of mist in Nan Zhiyu's eyes as she looked up, and she looked a little at a loss.

"I know I am wrong, Your Highness, please forgive me, please?"

She parted her red lips slightly, and her cheeks couldn't help but start to feel hot.

When the word "concubine" came out of her mouth, there was some secret sense of shame, which also meant that she would be the prince's person from now on.

Wei Qingye's dark eyes were already hiding some waves, because of her words, his originally calm heart suddenly surged.

But Nan Zhiyu continued to test the man's dangerous edge.

 Thanks to ID Assorted Coffee for the comments and thanks to IDyu for the recommendation vote.

  The temperature has dropped sharply in the past two days. Dear friends, please remember to add more clothes to keep warm (οο) and wear long johns to prevent colds (*σ`)σ
  Tangtang is now a little social animal. The update time every day is probably either noon or evening. I will take time to write, please understand (˙▽˙)
  Mini-theater: Nan Zhiyu cried so hard that her voice became hoarse. Wei Qingye held her in his arms and coaxed her, "Why are you crying so hard, Nan Zhiyu?"

  Nan Zhiyu blinked her watery eyes and said angrily, "The recommendation is still going on, but I can't see any recommendation votes, and I feel wronged."

  Wei Qingye turned around and looked at the audience with a cold face: "You all voted hard for me, and I will drain your pockets."
