"His Royal Highness is here!"

Gu Yuelan thought that the prince would go to the West Palace where Yan Muqing was tonight, but she didn't expect that he would come to her palace. She was stunned for a moment and then quickly got up to greet him.

"I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Crown Prince Yu Jintang strode into the hall. Seeing Gu Yuelan, who was bowing politely with a look of joy on her face, he paused. He couldn't believe that the woman in front of him was the female devil of the Gu family who had pulled off his pants when he was a child.

Although Gu Yuelan has not yet developed any romantic feelings for the prince, she has already entered the Eastern Palace and certainly does not want to be ignored by her husband.

Regardless of the reason why the prince came to her first, she was happy in her heart that she would not be thrown alone in this strange palace on her wedding day.

After Yu Jintang sat down on the armchair, Gu Yuelan followed the instructions of the nanny and asked in a pinched voice, "Does Your Highness want to eat something?"

"No, I'm not hungry!" Yu Jintang refused gently.

Gu Yuelan asked again, "Then Your Highness, can you ask the palace servants to come in and help you wash up?"

"No need to trouble you. I just came over to sit and see you." Yu Jintang's expression revealed guilt and embarrassment.

He originally thought that Gu Yuelan was still the carefree female devil in his impression. As long as he told her his thoughts truthfully, she would definitely not care. But now seeing her attentive behavior, he couldn't help feeling guilty.

Gu Yuelan didn't understand what the prince meant. He came to her bedroom without eating or sleeping. Could it be that he came just to chat with her?

Chatting was fine, except that the nanny didn't teach her how to chat with the prince, so she could only speak freely according to her heart.

She also sat down in the armchair beside her and was about to say something when Yu Jintang spoke first, "Since you have sat down and seen, I have taken good care of Concubine Consort, so I will not stay any longer."

Gu Yuelan was a little confused when she heard this. She couldn't believe that the prince was leaving her bedroom before he even had time to sit down. It would be better if he didn't come!

After giving her hope and then slapping her in the face, what did Yu Jintang think of her, Gu Yuelan?

She is the only legitimate daughter of the Gu family and the Princess of Jiahe County, who was personally conferred by the Emperor. Why should he humiliate her like this?

Gu Yuelan was not a person who could compromise, so she lost her temper and said bluntly: "Since the prince has come to my East Palace, don't leave!"

"I will come another day to accompany the concubine. I'd better not stay any longer today. The concubine has just entered the Eastern Palace and is not used to it. I will order the palace servants to take good care of Concubine Gu and will never let her suffer any grievances." After saying this, Yu Jintang did not wait for Gu Yuelan's response. He stood up and walked out, fearing that he would not be able to leave if he delayed any longer.

Yu Jintang felt that he had wronged his beloved greatly for not being able to give her the status of his principal wife, and there was no way he could let her stay alone in the empty room on the first day of their marriage.

However, his mother insisted that he come to the East Palace first, saying that she would rather let the Crown Princess suffer than let Gu Yuelan suffer. If Gu Yuelan's character was not unsuitable for managing the East Palace as the queen, the position of Crown Princess should have belonged to Gu Yuelan.

When he came to the East Hall, he originally wanted to comfort Gu Yuelan, but after seeing her, he realized that it was useless to say anything, and it was a fact that he was going to make others suffer.

"Stop!" Gu Yuelan strode after Yu Jintang and stretched out her arm to block his way. "What if this county lady insists that the prince stay tonight?"

"I am sorry for you. I will definitely make it up to you in the future." Before Yu Jintang finished speaking, he was hit hard on the chest. He staggered back several steps and was supported by the quick-eyed and quick-handed palace servants so that he did not fall to the ground.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, are you okay? I will go and summon the imperial physician."

The prince was beaten, and the palace servants who served him were thrown into panic.

Yu Jintang covered his chest and took a long time to catch his breath. He quickly stopped the eunuch who was about to run out of the palace gate and said, "Come back. I'm fine. There's no need to call the imperial physician."

The eunuch who was serving him looked worried and embarrassed. "Your Highness has turned pale. Are you sure you don't want to call the imperial physician to take a look?"

"No need. Keep your mouth shut about what happened today. If anyone dares to spread even a word, I will not let them off easily."

Gu Yuelan stood there with her neck stiffened, her arrogant attitude not softened at all by the prince's protection.

"Listen carefully, Yu Jintang. This county lady will never be grateful to you. You were the one who bullied and humiliated me first, and I fought back, so we are even. Go away, and don't set foot in my palace again unless you have something to do."

Yu Jintang sighed and left with his men.

Only after the group left the yard did Hongying, the maid who came with the dowry, dare to breathe deeply.

Before the concubine got married, the old lady was always afraid that the concubine would be naughty and beat the prince, so she found the strictest nanny in the palace to teach the young lady.

But who could have imagined that the concubine actually hit the prince, and that she did it on the first day of her wedding.

"I, the concubine, knew that the crown prince was concerned about Concubine Yan. Why did he do this?" After Hongying finished speaking, she saw that her concubine was already in tears.

She had been serving the concubine since she was a child. Every time the concubine got angry, she would cry and make a fuss, wishing that everyone in the palace would know that she had been wronged. When had she ever been so sad and upset without saying a word? It was obvious that she was really sad.

At that time in the West Palace, Yan Mucheng heard that the prince had gone to the East Palace, and he went to sleep on the couch in a very peaceful mood.

Although he had expectations for the prince, Yan Muqing knew that as the crown prince, he often could not do as he wished.

The Yan family and the Xue family are both civil officials, and the prince has no shortage of support from upright officials. Only the Gu family, which holds military power, is the powerful family that the prince really wants to win over through marriage.

In order to show his attitude, the prince must go to Gu Yuelan's room tonight, so Yan Muqing was just a little disappointed and did not feel aggrieved or uncomfortable.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

Lan Shuang had just let down the bed curtains when she heard the noise outside and hurriedly lifted them up again, helping Yan Muqing get off the bed and put on her shoes.

Before Yan Muqing reached the entrance of the palace, Yu Jintang had already strode in.

Seeing that she was only wearing her underwear, Yu Jintang hurriedly said, "It's cold outside, Sister Mu Qing, please don't come over here."

Yan Muqing bowed and saluted, "I didn't know Your Highness was coming. I hope Your Highness will forgive my impoliteness."

Yu Jintang walked over and helped her up, "You and I are already husband and wife, so please don't be so polite in private. How could I blame you?"

After adapting for a few months, Yan Muqing was now able to face the prince with a normal attitude. After sending the servants away, she reluctantly advised, "Your Highness should not have come to my palace today."

"I know, but I don't want you, Muqing, to suffer any injustice, so I want to be willful for once." Yu Jintang wanted to hold Yan Muqing's hand, but after stretching out half of his hand, he became a little timid.

The person he had loved for many years was now standing in front of him and had become his woman. He was so happy that he felt a sense of unreality.

"No matter when Your Highness comes, I will not feel wronged." After Yan Muqing said this, she took the initiative to hold the hand he extended.

If it were in her previous life, Yan Muqing would definitely dissuade the prince from returning to the East Palace to appease Gu Yuelan, but she would never do that again in this life.

She is no longer the gentle and generous Crown Princess, but the Crown Prince's concubine. She does not need to abide by the duties of a generous and virtuous wife. She has to respond to the Crown Prince's love for her and wants him to give her more love and trust.

Only if the prince trusts her wholeheartedly will she have the opportunity to influence the prince's decision and get the bargaining chip to check and balance Yan Yongchen.
