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

Chapter 7 Nan Zhaoxun Peeling Walnuts with His Bare Hands
Bai Lu gestured to Caiyun behind her, and the food on the tray was brought to the front. "Hua Liangyuan has lost her appetite recently. She wants to eat longevity fruit cakes. I'd like to trouble Nan Zhaoxun to make them for her personally."

The joy in Nan Zhaoxun's heart disappeared instantly. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had only come once, and Hua Liangyuan had treated her like this.

Longevity fruit pastry is not difficult to make. The difficult part is to peel off the hard shell of the longevity fruit without damaging the kernel inside.

After she entered the palace, she learned about the unusual friendship between Hua Liangyuan and the Crown Prince. In order to gain a foothold in the palace, she broke the longevity fruit open bit by bit with her hands, took out the kernels and made crispy cakes to send to him.

After only doing it a few times, her fingers and nails were covered in blood, which made Hua Liangyuan let down her guard against her.

On the surface, he was asking her to make pastries, but secretly, wasn't he trying to torture her in various ways?
Nan Zhaoxun stared at the box of longevity fruits on the tray and felt pain in his fingertips.

"Since Hua Liangyuan knows that I am not feeling well, I am afraid that there is no need to rush to eat this longevity fruit cake.

How about I wait until I feel better and make it myself and send it to Hua Liangyuan?"

Bai Lu personally took the tray and pushed it forward, “My master is a wealthy man, how can he wait for the food he wants?

Nan Zhaoxun, please hurry up, my master is waiting to eat this longevity fruit cake to whet his appetite before dark."

On the black lacquer tray was a red lacquer carved box that was half an arm's length long. If she wanted to make all the longevity fruits inside into shortbread, she was afraid that she would not be able to finish peeling them even if she peeled them from now until midnight.

Not to mention, she also wants to make these nuts into shortbread.

"Nan Zhaoxun, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first!" Bai Lu smiled and handed the tray to the servant serving beside her, then turned and left.

Nan Mingzhu was so angry that her chest ached. She angrily slapped the table and said, "I am Zhao Xun now. She dares to humiliate me like this. This is really too much!"

Shuanghan waved to Hongyu and said, "Find a few skilled palace maids with tools to come over and make slits in these longevity fruits."

After waiting for Hongyu to leave, Shuanghan walked over to Nanmingzhu and said, "Master, now is not the time to be angry."

The reason why Hua Liangyuan could remain favored in the palace for a long time was not only because she had a good family background, which allowed her and the Crown Prince to be childhood sweethearts, but also because she herself had outstanding looks and a scholarly air and talent that noble ladies did not have.

Nan Mingzhu was not unaware of these truths, but she felt wronged.

Her father is also the current prime minister, second only to the emperor. Why does the Crown Prince value the Hua family but treat the Prime Minister's Mansion indifferently?
She must make Nan Zhiyu pregnant with His Highness's child as soon as possible. Only in this way can she get out of this predicament.

Nan Mingzhu turned around and grabbed Shuanghan's hand, and asked with complicated eyes: "Nan Zhiyu, where is she?"

Shuanghan was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Miss Nan ran to the side room crying, and my attempts to comfort her had little effect."

"Just behave yourself and cry if you want!" Nan Mingzhu was troubled by the habit of this half-sister who was not presentable and would cry at the slightest provocation.

Nan Mingzhu patted Shuanghan's hand soothingly, "After a few days, when the matter is settled, let mother come and take the person away."

Since her sister had already displeased His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there was naturally no point for her to stay in the Eastern Palace. Only by letting her leave in public could the rest of the matter be concealed.

Shuanghan looked at the determined look on her master's face and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "My lady, do you really have to do this?"

Miss Nan has no way out now, but that doesn't mean that she, a girl from a respectable family, would willingly become someone else's substitute and help them have children!
It took a lot of scheming and trickery for my master to climb up from a concubine in the Eastern Palace to this position, but it was a bit too cruel for a girl who had not yet left the boudoir.

She only dared to think about this secretly in her heart, and she was definitely not brave enough to say it out loud. Shuanghan felt her spine tingle under Nan Mingzhu's gaze, and she continued to explain with a stiff upper lip: "I just think that Miss Nan might reveal her flaws when she serves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in bed, after all, she is a virgin..."

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince notices something is wrong and wants to investigate, I'm afraid both the young lady and the Prime Minister's Mansion will be doomed!"

Nan Mingzhu's face turned pale when she heard that. She leaned back with her straight back, her peach blossom eyes filled with confusion.

"I have no way out now! In the Prime Minister's Mansion, apart from Nan Zhiyu who is easier to control, the other two sisters are not easy to deal with. If we let them enter the East Palace, it would be like inviting a wolf into the house."

After weighing the pros and cons, Nan Mingzhu said firmly: "The candidate can only be Nan Zhiyu."

After Nan Zhiyu, who was being talked about, returned to the room, she sneezed twice. Qingdai quickly closed the door.

She saw that the mask on Nan Zhiyu's face was replaced by an exquisite veil, and nervously grabbed the handkerchief and asked, "Miss, are you really abandoned? Is the order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from Chongming Palace true or false?"

"It's both true and false." Nan Zhiyu raised her hand and touched the veil on her face, then took it off.

"Your Highness ordered me to cover my face with a veil, but it was false that I was disfigured and unsightly."

Qingdai swallowed hard, "Today, Qingdai is useless, causing trouble for the young lady, and letting the young lady take risks alone. If there is a next time..."

Nan Zhiyu grabbed her hand and said firmly: "If there is a next time, I will still do this. You promised to accompany me in this muddy water, so you can't back down!"

Qingdai's nose felt sour. "Girl, Qingdai will never be a burden to you in the future, nor will she be a bargaining chip used by others to threaten you."

If that day really comes, girl, please abandon me!
The words went around in circles on her lips but she still couldn't utter them. After all, when people are still alive, they will subconsciously choose to survive rather than die.

"Don't cry. My sister deliberately forced me to enter Chongming Palace today. She wanted Her Highness to dislike me and completely cut off my escape route out of the palace. She wanted me to be a bird in a cage and I could only let her control me. Little did she know that I had a backup plan. There is always light at the end of the tunnel."

Her Highness also regarded her as a prey that could be toyed with at will, so wasn't he also her long-planned prey?

Qingdai had been worried for a long time. When she saw that the man had returned safely, she sat on the chair and felt a little drowsy.

Nan Zhiyu recalled the words and actions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Chongming Palace today, and vaguely felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no intention of letting her go, but was just playing hard to get, waiting for her to beg him in a desperate state.

If she guessed correctly, Chunhua, who had been missing since going to Chongming Palace, would probably appear in Yi Qiu Palace soon!

As a frightened bird, she would subconsciously want to seek shelter when she encounters danger.

Since this is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants, it would be better for her to cooperate with him reluctantly.

　The characters in the book all have their own predetermined and destined trajectories. There is no black and white, nor is there an absolute distinction between good and bad people. They stand on their own standpoints and do what they think is right. The heroine is not a saint, but an egoist. Many of the things she does are to achieve her own goals.

　　The male protagonist is the crown prince and holds great power. I think it is unrealistic for him to have no concubines, so if you want to see a double C of male and female, I am afraid it will not work.

　　Please read the article without thinking and do not study the logic in the article, as many of them are personal settings.
