The prince spared his life! The lady has been reborn to save you

Wei Xingche ran straight to the study room at the back. His dark blue cloak quickly brushed against the yellow branches floating on the water. The branches trembled and dropped drops of cool water.

"Father"

Prince Liang sat behind the desk, with layers of paper portraits spread out in front of him. Hearing the voice, he called out, "Come here, Chen Yun. Your father is choosing a good man for your sister. You can also come and take a look..."

Wei Xingche did not move for a long time. Prince Liang looked up in confusion, only to see his beloved son with a flushed face and a pair of starry eyes half-closed weakly, shaking as if he was about to fall.

“Chen Yun——!”

Prince Liang was horrified, "Someone come! Someone come quickly!"

The hem of his clothes was grabbed tightly, and Wei Xingche looked painful, "Father, you shouldn't reject her..."

"She hates me..."

After Wei Xingche finished speaking, his vision went dark and he fell to the ground.

Wei Xingche woke up in the water, which was shallow and not even up to his ankles, and icy cold.

What comes into view is a group of ducks.

Countless ducks.

Yellow, white, blue.

The young yellow webbed claws slapped the water, and it swam with a gurgling sound. From time to time, its long flat beak opened and pecked at his calves. Wei Xingche wanted to escape, but his feet were fixed to the ground and he could not move.

A scarlet teal, squinting its eyes proudly, floated closer, its light and gorgeous feather comb was shiny and smooth, and there were white feathers around its upturned eyes, making it look evil and elegant.

What a beautiful duck.

Wei Xingche thought.

He leaned over to touch it.

The red duck's evil eyes suddenly opened, and it stared at him with a malicious and mocking look, then flapped its wings, jumped onto his head, grabbed Wei Xingche's scalp and called him an idiot.

Wei Xingche had a headache, as if an arrow had shot him in the skull and the bone marrow had burst...

...

The sun was high in the sky, the blue sky was cloudless, and the dry cold wind was blowing across my skin, threatening to stick a piece of it away.

Chu Yizhao saw the most favored concubine in the harem outside the Qinzheng Palace.

She no longer wore the high bun with flowers in her hair and the gorgeous silk shirt like a palace concubine. Instead, she wore only a snow-white long skirt, with white plum blossoms supporting her temples, and a fox fur cloak, without any embroidery or pattern, as clean as snow before it fell.

Unlike the enchanting concubines recorded in historical records, she did not have stunning beauty, and her plain facial features were as white as snow.

The earth is covered in dust and only the remaining snow is gathered here.

Yuwen Chiyu looked at the woman in front of him and said in an ambiguous tone, "Thanks to this palace, His Majesty is in a good mood. You came at the right time."

"After the matter is done, remember to send me some gifts..."

After she finished speaking, she walked away, with the palace maid behind her holding a Ru kiln porcelain vase. Chu Yizhao remembered that this sky blue glaze goose-neck vase had always been placed on the imperial desk of Emperor Yuan An, and he couldn't let it go.

Things were indeed going smoothly. Before Chu Yizhao could say a few words, Emperor Yuan An responded with a smile, "The girl from the Dong family is not young anymore. How about half a year? It will be enough time for her to find a husband of her dreams."

He held the imperial pen in his hand, and suddenly an idea occurred to him, "I have several beloved ministers who have not yet married, why not let the girl from the Dong family go and find a wife. If it works out, I will pay for the phoenix crown, bridal robe, incense, cannons, bracelets, and gold."

Emperor Yuan An became interested and made the final decision without waiting for Chu Yizhao to speak.

Two quarters of an hour later, Chu Yizhao walked out of the Qinzheng Hall with a stack of thick papers, looking strange.

There were so many bachelors in the Zhou Dynasty...

"girl."

Queqiu, who had blocked someone's way, smiled and said, "This servant has met the young lady."

Chu Yizhao opened his mouth and spoke quickly.

The cloud-top sandalwood, pearl curtains and jade pendants, and the large and gorgeous screen were kicked over by someone, and the jade and coral decorations were shattered all over the ground. The dark red rosewood screen frame was broken, revealing the wooden debris inside.

"Chu A Ming, you are so brave, how dare you disobey the imperial order! You hide from me!"

The Queen Mother pointed at Chu Yizhao, her phoenix eyes filled with rage, and her golden armor couldn't help but tremble. "I just asked a few more questions, but you hate me so much, you bastard."

"Bastard thing!"

"Snapped!"

A piece of celadon shattered at Chu Yizhao's feet. The Queen Mother was so angry that she was shaking. Chu Yizhao was so scared that she wanted to kneel down, but Queqiu held her firmly on the chair. She whispered, "The Queen is angry. Don't do anything that will displease the Queen."

The huge palace was filled with the sound of objects falling to the ground.

Chu Yizhao subconsciously clenched his palms, his breath choked in his chest, and he felt a little breathless.

Debris was spread at Chu Yizhao's feet. The golden hairpin beside her bun didn't move at all. The empress dowager was angry when she saw her cowering appearance. "You disobeyed the imperial order and contradicted the queen. This is such a great rebellion. Now I am afraid. If Xing Yu hadn't stopped me, I would have chopped off your head!"

"Then you chop it off." Chu Yizhao broke free from Queqiu and knelt down on the broken white porcelain pieces with a plop. A slight stinging pain spread from his knees.

Queqiu frowned.

The Queen Mother was startled and her eyes narrowed slightly. "Threatening me?"

"The Crown Prince is so disloyal to you that he would rather die than enter the East Palace?"

"Yes, I would rather die than do that."

The Queen Mother laughed in anger, "My grandson is the most handsome man in the Great Zhou. He started learning at the age of three, studied policy essays at the age of five, and was proficient in classics at the age of nine. He is also the best archer and horseman among the nobles in the capital. In the future, he will be above everyone else. You have repeatedly disobeyed my order and refused to marry me. This is a serious crime of disobedience!"

Chu Yizhao sighed softly and said, "The prince is very good, but he is not my soulmate. He and the elder sister of the Zuo family are in love. From a romantic point of view, I have no romantic feelings for him, and from a logical point of view, I should not destroy their relationship."

The superior snorted coldly, his phoenix eyes slightly raised, "Affection is just the icing on the cake, status and power are what you should think about."

"Be good and enter the palace. I am here, and Yu'er will not treat you unfairly. Give birth to a son or a daughter in the future, and you will enjoy endless wealth and glory."

"If you're worried that the Zuo family girl will cause you trouble..."

The high hairpins moved, and she stood up and walked down the stairs. The heavy and complicated phoenix clothes were noble and unparalleled.

"I originally thought that the Central Palace has many rules and regulations, and being a royal concubine would be honorable and respectable, and I wouldn't have to deal with chores, and I would be free and at ease. In this case..."

Chu Yizhao was confused.

The Queen Mother stretched out her hand, pulled the clothes on Chu Yizhao's shoulders and lifted them up. Chu Yizhao only felt that the black pendant in front of his eyes was flowing, and it turned into the Queen Mother's intoxicated face.

The bent legs suddenly straightened.

"Then depose the daughter of the Zuo family and make you the crown princess."

"Ah?!" Chu Yizhao's knees went weak and she almost fell to the ground. Queqiu supported her from behind.

Chu Yizhao hurriedly said, "My queen, this is absolutely not allowed!"

How did things turn out like this!

"Why not? If you are unwilling to be a concubine, then be my wife and be in love with the prince. If there is any damage, it will be caused by others. This plan will make everyone happy!"

The phoenix robe fluttered, the empress dowager was extremely happy, and her pointed armor flashed golden in the sunlight.

Chu Yizhao leaned on Queqiu, and the thick paper between his sleeves hurt the thin flesh on his arms.

Emperor Yuan An inherited his appearance and figure from the previous emperor, and his imaginative and free-spirited temperament was definitely inherited from his mother.

"No."

"Why, Chu Aming, don't go too far. I can't indulge you in everything!" The queen mother was angry again.

"Your servant..."

Chu Yizhao wanted to say something but stopped.

The Empress Dowager knew it, and the Emperor knew it too.

Given Wei Xingli's physical condition, would Emperor Yuan An force her to get married, and would the Prince of Yue's Mansion force her to have an heir?

The days of freedom and ease are over.

Chu Yizhao was upset. Why did everyone force her to do something? No matter how interested she was, it became meaningless when people were watching and talking about her.

"Speak!" Li Jingyuan kicked the screen.

The scattered screens were shaken a few times to shake out some sawdust.

Chu Yizhao noticed that the screen was embroidered with needlework from the south, with the bright moon reflected on the peony flowers. The pure moonlight cast a few strands of bright white light, which happened to meet the first buds, flickering alternately.

She suddenly remembered the cold moon hanging high in the sky that night.

The gorgeous man smiled.

Very beautiful.

Pursing his lips, Chu Yizhao blurted out.

"I already have a crush on someone."

"…who?"

"Your grandson, Wei Xingyu."

"... "

"That sickly guy..."

Li Jingyuan's voice is as quiet as a deep pool.

Chu Yizhao's breathing tightened, "Yes..."

"... "

The cold wind from the wilderness blew into the prosperous palace, sweeping through Li Jingyuan's heart with a destructive force.

"Confused!"

Li Jingyuan took a deep breath and looked at the familiar and beautiful phoenix eyes, feeling anxious and sad.

"Why did you look for him when you could be looking for someone else?"

"Xingyu is seriously ill and doesn't have much time left. Do you also want to live a lonely life..."

Chu Yizhao said nothing, with his head lowered, like a floating flower and a reed.

This is going to be a fight to the end...

Li Jingyuan suppressed her anger and looked at her for a long while.

Even this cowardly look of preferring to break rather than bend is just like him.

After a long while, the sun was slanting, and Li Jingyuan sighed heavily, "You are still young, there is no rush for marriage, let's discuss this later, go back..."

Chu Yizhao walked non-stop.

After she left, Queqiu asked, "The kitchen is ready, don't you want to stay for dinner?"

"She can't eat well here..." Li Jingyuan said helplessly, "Have I not treated her well? Why does she always disobey me? She can't get into the rich and noble world, but she insists on going to that shabby family circle."

"The girl is young...maybe she is talking nonsense." Queqiu consoled her.

Li Jingyuan sneered, "She's talking nonsense. Where's Xingyu? Don't you know what that child is like?"

"Yesterday he suddenly entered the palace and demanded ten palace maids, stuffing them into his father's backyard. He was forced to leave his home and not be able to return."

"This kid even messed with his biological father. If he didn't allow it, would Ah Ming dare to use his name at will?"

"Go, summon him to the palace."
