Drunk Bamboo

In Hua Qinfeng's eyes, she was smart and capable, someone who could solve his problems, oppose the almighty emperor in the court, and help him return to the western frontier.

He respected her and gave her freedom.

As his princess, I naturally have to consider him more.

"Miss Xiao is beautiful and has a good figure. I feel excited just looking at her. Your Majesty, aren't you moved at all when you are hugged by such a beauty?"

Xie Yuzhu hinted at him indirectly.

Hua Qinfeng frowned.

"Heart-beaten? When she was in the West, she was also so disrespectful to him and his brothers..."

Suddenly realizing something, Hua Qinfeng hurriedly explained: "Xie Yuzhu, don't misunderstand! She, the person she likes is not me, I have no feelings for her at all!"

"Your Highness, do you know what it means to be heart-throb?" Xie Yuzhu asked back.

Hua Qinfeng was stumped by her words.

He stared straight at Xie Yuzhu.

Her facial features were not too prominent, and her clothes were mostly light white. She was not tall and thin, with a plain face, but her phoenix eyes were intriguing.

But it was such a plain face that made Hua Qinfeng look away, and his heart became happy or nervous accordingly.

He will care about her joys and sorrows, and every word she says.

He didn't know when it started, but every night as long as she was by his side, he would sleep especially soundly.

Are you excited?

When she walked into the Golden Hall against the light, her heart was already trembling.

Xie Yuzhu: "Your Majesty, you don't need to explain so much to me. If Miss Xiao really likes you, and you also find that you have a good impression of her, I can be on an equal footing with her and let her be the concubine, and she will be in charge of all matters in the mansion."

"Xie Yuzhu, what are you talking about?"

I thought I heard it wrong.

"Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines here? Ordinary men are like this. Your Majesty is of noble status, so you should find a few more caring people, take good care of them, and continue to have children."

Hua Qinfeng looked shocked.

"You want to take a concubine for me?"

Xie Yuzhu walked slowly in front and explained slowly:

"Miss Xiao's escape from marriage was not entirely willful. She was just doing what a woman should do, choosing her life partner. There is nothing wrong with that. A marriage without love will not be happy. If Miss Xiao really likes the prince, she will change her temper for him after marriage. The prince has always wanted to return to the west. If he marries Xiao, it will be natural for him to return to the west."

I have always known that Xie Yuzhu's thoughts are different from those of ordinary women, and I also know that she has her own reasons for doing things.

But at this moment, her words angered Hua Qinfeng.

His expression suddenly darkened, and he stared at Xie Yuzhu's back and said coldly:

"Xie Yuzhu, you said you would help me return to the West Frontier. Is this the method you were thinking of?"

Xie Yuzhu didn't look back and continued to explain:

"That's what I just thought of. Your Highness, don't worry. I've thought about it. If you marry Miss Xiao, your Highness will seem to be the biggest rival of Crown Prince Wen. There are military generals in the west and civil officials in the south. As long as you gain your father's trust, you can submit a petition to stay in the west forever and not return to Zhongdu. In this way, they won't be afraid of your Highness, and your Highness will get what he wants and stay in the west forever."

She had a clear mind, reasonable analysis, and explicit logic. Every word she said was very reasonable. Everything she said was for the good of Prince Feng and the palace, but she did not consider her husband at all.

Not the prince, just her husband.

His tone was gloomy: "Princess, you really care about this king."

Noticing that his tone was wrong, Xie Yuzhu stopped and turned back.

He lowered his eyes and she couldn't see his expression.

He asked, “Are you angry again?”

He snorted coldly: "Again? When was I angry with you?"

He put her first in everything, considered her, gave in to her, and thought about her.

He had never been so pampered and indulgent to any woman.

Xie Yuzhu joked, "Your Majesty has a good memory, right? How could you forget?"

I thought Hua Qinfeng would soften first, but I didn't expect him to shout:

"Xie Yuzhu, have you always wanted to take a concubine for me? You said you wanted to travel all over the mountains and rivers and compile the Book of Poisonous Grasses. Did you never plan to follow me back to the West? Did you lie to me?!"

Hua Qinfeng still kept his head down, but his whole body was emitting a cold air.

Xie Yuzhu was puzzled:

"Isn't it for the prince's good to take in a concubine? As a princess, isn't it my duty to consider the prince's offspring? I am doing my duty as a princess."

The duties of a princess?

Hua Qinfeng couldn't help but clench his fists, veins bulging.

"It's really not easy for a woman to be born in this world. If you don't let your husband take a concubine, you'll be accused of being jealous. If you let your husband take a concubine, you'll be accused of not being close to him. What do you want us to do to be satisfied?"

"Besides, I wrote the Poisonous Grass Sutra and went out to look for herbs. I told His Majesty everything clearly. I was honest with him and knew that His Majesty was a reasonable person who understood me. His Majesty also promised me that he would let me fulfill my wish. Why are you saying now that I am lying to His Majesty?"

Seeing Hua Qinfeng remained silent, Xie Yuzhu asked again:

"Why is the prince angry now? If you don't like Miss Xiao, then don't like her. Can I force Miss Xiao to be a concubine? I am just discussing with the prince. If the prince thinks that everything I say is a lie, I will not say these words to the prince in the future."

Xie Yuzhu: Why would a grown man get angry? If you are angry, just speak. What does it mean to keep silent?

Hua Qinfeng closed his eyes and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Okay, you are right, every word you say is reasonable, I can't argue with you."

"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't hold it in and cause trouble somewhere else."

The anger in my heart completely erupted.

He raised his cold eyes and held her chin tightly with both hands:

"You, Xie Yuzhu, you want me to speak nicely, but why can't you speak nicely to me? Why do you want to hurt my heart!"

There is no light in the depths of his dark eyes, which seem like a bottomless abyss.

His natural arrogance and wildness are fully revealed.

Xie Yuzhu couldn't help but tremble all over.

The pain and coldness in his chin made Xie Yuzhu frown.

"I..." She was speechless.

Seeing that her chin was red from being pinched, which was particularly glaring, Hua Qinfeng came to his senses and immediately let go of his hand.

He looked at her panickedly, not knowing what to do, and then ran away in panic as if he had done something wrong.

Xie Yuzhu was panting.

He also said he wasn't angry.

The Hua Qinfeng just now was the living devil in the rumors, ferocious, evil and ruthless.

When she recovered, Lao Liu came to her with a letter from the palace.

Lao Liu: "Princess, the Queen sent someone to deliver the invitation."

Taking the post, he said, "Empress? Did anyone in the palace tell me what it was about?"

"It seems that the palace will host a banquet for the officials' families during the Shangsi Festival in three days."

"Families of officials? Didn't you invite the prince?"

"No, they only said they were the women of the palace."

"Got it. Please invite the palace people to the side hall for tea and snacks."

"Ok."

Xie Yuzhu opened the red post with a flower pattern printed on it:

On March 3rd, the Shangsi Festival, there is a banquet with wine flowing and Qushui.
