Chapter 52: Rumors that the Prince is being kept
The prince smiled helplessly and pinched her cheek with his hand, "She looks sharp-tongued, but who would have thought she is such a bully who only knows how to use words to provoke me."

Nan Zhiyu snorted proudly, "Your Highness is a noble lady of golden branches and jade leaves, you can't bear to hear these words, it's better for you to leave now.

There are so many eyes watching you in the palace, I'm afraid that if Your Highness walks out of the house, he might be coaxed away by a concubine from another palace."

She spoke powerfully, but her hook-like eyes never left him, as if to say, "Just try and see if you dare to leave."

Wei Qingye picked up the sachet in his arms, opened it and saw that, as expected, his jade pendant was inside.

"This flying crane in the clouds is embroidered quite well. When will Nan Jiaojiao embroider one for me? I can use it to properly store this jade button. I'm afraid it will get lost if it's hanging outside all by itself."

Nan Zhiyu had an innocent look on her face, her eyes were full of smiles, and she joked, "Look, you haven't even coaxed the person yet, but you're already planning to order him to work. Your Highness is really calculating!"

Wei Qingye squeezed with her on the small Luohan couch, held her in his arms, and said unhappily: "Nan Jiaojiao, don't you see that everything in this hall, from tables, chairs, beds to teacups and incense burners, is given to you by me?

Don't you reflect on yourself? Besides this jade button, what else have you given me? "

Nan Zhiyu raised her hand and pointed at the brocade box placed on the small wooden grid, "Qingdai, take that thing down."

Qingdai was stunned for a moment. The box contained five million taels of silver notes that had just been sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion. Could it be that the master wanted to give this to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Nan Zhiyu held the heavy brocade box and placed it in front of His Highness, "Didn't Your Highness say that the things I gave you were too little?
Then I will give this to Your Highness, in exchange for Your Highness accompanying me out of the palace, okay?"

Wei Qingye held the palm-sized brocade box in his hand and opened it nonchalantly, "What is so valuable that it can buy me a day?"

When his eyes fell on the silver bills inside, Wei Qingye's voice stopped abruptly. He flipped through it casually and found that it was full of silver bills.

"Where did you get so much money?"

Nan Zhiyu curled her lips, raised her eyebrows, and chuckled, "My mother came yesterday and wanted me to say a few good words for my sister in front of His Highness. She felt that she owed me a lot, so she used these five million silver coins to make up for it."

Wei Qingye stared at her without blinking, "So, you plan to use this five million to buy me to accompany you out of the palace for a day?"

Nan Zhiyu nodded, "Your Highness is very busy, and time is precious. I don't have any other valuable things, only this box is worthless. I hope Your Highness will not despise it."

The prince raised his hand to close the brocade box, and held her tighter, "Nan Jiaojiao can now use her dowry to support me, how could I despise her?"

The feeling of living off someone is really good.

His slightly calloused fingers fell on her slender waist, playing with it carefully, and he felt satisfied. "I can take you out of the palace, but I will announce to the public that you are confined for half a month and you will reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors. Are you willing?"

"Is what your highness said true?" Nan Zhiyu looked up hurriedly and grabbed his sleeves with both hands.

"Of course I keep my word." Wei Qingye smiled and whispered a few words in her ear.

Nan Zhiyu stared at him in surprise, "Are you really going to do this?"

“Otherwise, how can outsiders believe it?” Wei Qingye, huddled together with her, did not act like the majestic Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace at all. Instead, he behaved more like a young master of a noble family in Jingzhou City.

Nan Zhiyu nodded as if she understood, picked up a plate of the cheapest cakes from the table and threw it out of the palace gate. However, her strength was too weak and the plate of cakes was only three steps away from the Arhat Couch.

"Your Highness~~" Nan Zhiyu puffed out her cheeks and looked at him for help.

Wei Qingye waved at her, and Nan Zhiyu immediately picked up the unbroken plates and snacks on the ground and put them back in the prince's hands.

The prince motioned for her to cover her ears and pointed outside the door.

Nan Zhiyu covered her ears obediently, lay cutely in the prince's arms, and opened her eyes curiously.

A plate of cakes was thrown outside the palace gate, followed by the Crown Prince's scolding: "Yue Fengyi, you are so insolent!"

The servants serving outside the palace gate were so frightened that their faces changed and they all knelt on the ground.

Chai Hui followed Lian Yue and Qing Dai and hid in the tea room to slack off. After Nan Zhiyu let go of her hand, she whimpered twice in unison.

The prince whispered in her ear: "Nan Jiaojiao, you can't do this!"

Nan Zhiyu believed it and said, "Then Your Highness, can you teach me?"

Wei Qingye pinched her waist and lifted her up onto himself. His slightly cool hands slid down her waist, into her clothes, and wandered around wantonly.

Nan Zhiyu was so embarrassed that she was afraid that people outside would hear her, so she quickly covered her mouth.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw this, he bullied her even more severely.

The people kneeling outside could hear Yue Fengyi's suppressed crying, the prince's scolding, and the sound of things being knocked over from inside the hall from time to time.

After a long time, Nan Zhiyu was bullied to the point of tears. The prince wanted to bully her more thoroughly, but when he thought about accompanying her out of the palace to do some work tomorrow, he slowly gave up the idea.

"It's almost time. I will return to Chongming Palace first."

Wei Qingye stood up and straightened his slightly wrinkled robe. When he reached the door, he stopped and said sternly, "Yue Fengyi has been confined to his room for half a month to reflect on his mistakes. No one else is allowed to visit him!"

Nan Zhiyu originally wanted to get off the bed and get a glass of water, but her legs went weak and she sat on the ground.

As soon as Qingdai stepped into the door, she began to shout: "My lady, no matter how sad you are, you can't sit on the ground~"

Lian Yue suppressed her laughter and said, "Don't be sad, young lady. It's only been half a month, it will be over soon."

After a cup of tea, Qingdai's angry voice sounded again: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is too much. He actually punished you to kneel until your knees are blue and purple. I'm afraid you can't walk anymore!"

Qingdai pretended to be surprised and shouted at the outside at the top of her voice. After shouting this, she couldn't help coughing twice.

Lian Yue suppressed a laugh and said, "Alright, alright, if you say anything more, it will be a bit too exaggerated."

Nan Zhiyu stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth, "Hurry up and cover your mouth! If you keep yelling, I'm afraid that within a quarter of an hour, everyone in the East Palace will know that I made His Highness furious and was punished to kneel and hurt my leg."

Qingdai bit the cake happily, "Fortunately, the master is smart and there was no misunderstanding between him and His Highness, and everything was cleared up in time. Otherwise, today's incident would have made the master completely disliked by His Highness.

The Crown Princess' move was really brilliant, killing without shedding blood."

Lian Yue took a sip of tea. "The Crown Princess rejected our young master openly. She just hinted that the purchasers in the palace could come and go freely. Other than that, there is no evidence to prove that the Crown Princess had bad intentions."

Nan Zhiyu played with the mutton-fat jade pendant in her hand, a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "I just used the Crown Princess's ability to get His Highness to appear in front of me sooner.

Leaving the palace is a serious matter, how could I be so stupid as to sneak out by myself?"

The Crown Princess is probably still kept in the dark and doesn't see the situation clearly.

  small theater:
  The prince was in a good mood holding the box of silver. He went to the emperor's residence and said: Father, look, I got something good.
  The emperor opened it and saw: You really care about this little money? (_|||)
  Prince: No, no, no, this is different. This is the price Zhizhi paid to buy me for one day.

  Emperor: Are you happy that you, as the crown prince, are being kept by someone?

  Prince: Oh, I forgot that my father is now alone, so he naturally doesn’t understand my feelings now╰(*︶`*)╯

  Emperor: You rebellious son, get out of here right now (ω)
