love concubine

After nightfall, the house began to be noisy.It seems that the guests of the [-]-day banquet have arrived one after another.

I looked at myself in the mirror in a peony red women's dress, paired with a red butterfly gold step, and a veil covering my face, I really looked like a woman!I couldn't help but giggle silly.I thought it would be nice to wear women's clothes!Their clothes are colorful and textured, much better than men's clothes!

I pretended to be a woman's voice and spoke to the mirror, "The little girl Kexue has met the young master..." Haha!My name is really nice!It's just a girl's name! "My lord likes Kexue..."

"Master Ji?!"

I was so startled that I jumped up.I saw the prince walked into the room with a worried face, and looked at me in amazement, "Who was talking to you just now?!"

My embarrassing cheeks instantly heated up, "...It's Kexue herself..."

"what?!"

"It was Kexue who was talking to herself just now... Seeing herself in women's clothing... she started playing around..."

I saw the prince with wide eyes and a serious face, as if he wanted to drive me out of the house.

"It's fine if there's no one..." Finally he sighed, "Don't talk to other people."

"Ke Xue knows..." After all, I am pretending to be a princess now, if someone finds out, it will make the Cui family feel guilty of bullying.

"Come on." He suddenly held my hand, "Father said that it would be better for the prince and princess to appear together at the Hundred Days Banquet."

"But!...but!" I pointed at our hands in a panic, "but the prince doesn't usually hold the princess's hand!..."

"Yeah. That's right..." Then he let go quickly, "Then you can follow me." After finishing speaking, he walked away quickly.

What kind of "follow" is this? !

I picked up my skirt and ran up, it was really hard to walk in a woman's robe!I take back what I said earlier, men's clothes are better to wear!

When we walked out of the room, we happened to meet Aunt Mei.

"Aunt Mei, do you think Mr. Ji's dress is good?" Aunt Mei has white hair, and is an old servant who has been taking care of the prince since he was young.

"How can we see it in such a dark corridor?! Where's Lan? Didn't she see clearly?! That's all, let's go to the lobby, everyone is waiting impatiently."

Only old general Cui, the prince, the chief steward of the palace, Lan, and Aunt Mei knew about the princess running away and me pretending to be the princess.That's why Aunt Mei speaks so bluntly, she is very respectful to the princess on weekdays...

We walked quickly through the corridors and finally came to the hall.

The prince and I sat at the banquet, toasting with those who occasionally came up to congratulate us.Then around the same time, the nanny took the little prince out and put him in my arms.The hall became lively again, and everyone stood up and said congratulatory words.Some ladies came to see him, and they all said that the little prince was clever and cute, and he must be a smart child when he grows up.

"Congratulations to the little prince who was loved by the emperor when he was born, and bestowed the title of Prince Xiang!" Princess Renxiang came to the banquet and immediately praised the baby in my arms.

Princess Renxiang is the eldest princess of the former dynasty, that is, the emperor's sister of the current emperor.His mother, Empress Liang, was unwilling to give birth to a prince, so she decided to establish a princess and empress, so she tried to poison all the princes.At that time, the two princes were murdered in succession. Fortunately, the current emperor, namely the sixth prince Huangfu Xiaolong, exposed her plot and prevented her from succeeding.In the end, Queen Liang was sentenced to death, but Princess Gu Nian was ignorant of the incident, so she was spared the crime.

"It's a blessing for a child to be loved by the emperor." The prince sitting next to me turned his face away, talking to the guests for the first time.

"That's right. It's a good thing that Ziyin gave birth to a boy. If the emperor still remembers his dead male queen and doesn't give birth to a prince, at least someone else can inherit the throne."

I couldn't help being taken aback when I heard it.Although it is said that the emperor never forgets the empress of Xiang, it is not impossible that there will be no princes!Doesn't the emperor have a prince?What's more, no matter what, Princess Renxiang shouldn't say such a rebellious thing!

"The prince's longevity is as good as heaven, and he will definitely be a wise king in the future." I said so.

"Well, life and death in the imperial family is unpredictable. Look at our eighth younger brother, didn't he suddenly suffer from a strange poison outside the Great Wall a while ago? The boy of our imperial family has a really rough life."

"But..." I looked at the child in my arms, "He belongs to the Cui family...he is not..."

"Princess Renxiang is worried. I hope the child will receive the grace and grow up in peace and health." Although the prince was behind me, I couldn't see his expression at that time, but from his tone, it seemed to be saying, "Thank you, please." Shut up."……

"Yeah. Of course. Ah yes, Ziyin, I heard that you have taken in a beautiful male concubine! What about him? Why didn't you see him tonight?" Princess Renxiang smiled wickedly.

"Tonight is my son's hundred-day banquet, why should a mere male concubine attend?"

I looked at the prince in astonishment, my eyes were sour, and my heart was wrenching bitterly. "A mere male concubine"? ! ... I am "a mere male concubine"! ...That's right... If the princess hadn't run away, I wouldn't be worthy of attending tonight's event at all...

"Hehehe, the prince doesn't have to be so mean. Ziyin is just curious and playful! That's why she took a male concubine. She still loves you. Huh?"

"En." The prince nodded coldly, and then ordered the nanny to come over, "Bring Yu'er back to the inner hall." He probably hinted that Princess Renxiang should go back to her seat.

Princess Renxiang really understood.She smiled politely and walked on.

As soon as the nanny took the baby from my arms, the baby burst into tears, which made my heart ache and I couldn't bear to let go.Suddenly someone took my hand away from behind me, "Nurse will take care of it, you don't have to worry."

I turned my face to look over, I didn't expect him to be so close, our noses were almost touching.

I still care about what the prince said just now.Although my heart is moved by the close distance between us now, but... I really can't forget that he said that I am just a male concubine...

I lowered my head and said quietly, "Got it..."

The banquet continued like this.

But the child's cry kept coming from the inner hall, and anyone who heard it would really feel heartbroken.I looked back from time to time, but the child just didn't stop crying.

"My lord...I still want to see..."

"do not go."

"But……"

"Are you his mother?"

I was suffocated by his words, but tears were about to come out. "You are his own father, don't you feel sorry for the child crying so much?!" I stood up as I said this, and ran to the inner hall with my skirt in my arms.

"Your Highness Princess." Seeing me approaching, the nanny brought the baby to me. "Hey princess? Why are you crying?"

"The child is crying so much, I'm worried." I lied to her, but I was always concerned about what the prince said tonight.

I am not his wife, nor the child's mother.I'm just a male concubine...

I still remember when Princess Ziyin accepted me as a male concubine, she smiled and told me it was just a stopgap measure.She said that now that the whole capital knows that I am the concubine of the princess, no one will come to trouble me.The princess said that I didn't look like a romantic person, and she asked me why I was stranded in the Ye Rong Jing Pavilion, so I told her about looking for my brother.The princess has a heart of righteousness, and she agreed to help me find my brother without saying a word.He also said that when I was reunited with my younger brother, I would be free again, and I would no longer need to be a male concubine.

But now that the princess is gone, the people I care about only see me as a lowly male concubine.I think... why don't I follow the example of a princess and sneak away...

"Xiao Yuxuan..." I looked at the child in my hand, and thought of his father, that Xuanzhong King Cui Zhen. "Your father, it's really annoying to talk..."

If I slip away, I will never see the lord again... Hmph.Anyway, that person doesn't have me in his heart, so why should I stay? !But... I still miss him.What's more... Can he take care of this child?snort!This child is taken care of by a nanny, why should I worry about it? !But...the princess said in the letter that she would entrust the child to my care...well...why did you entrust it to me?Does the princess also think that the prince will not be able to take care of the baby?

"Ziyin." I thought for a while before realizing that it was calling me.Looking over, he saw the prince walking over with a murderous look on his face.

"My lord." The nanny bowed deeply, and she probably felt that the atmosphere was not good.

"Nurse, you hold the baby and leave first."

"But... Her Royal Highness hugged her well, the little prince didn't even cry..."

I pouted with an arrogant look, "Yes, this child just wants to be hugged by me."

But the prince is still murderous, burning out all my arrogance, "Okay...Nurse, you'd better hold Xiao Yuxuan and leave first..." I hugged the child to the nurse, but seeing the child seemed like When he was about to cry again, he kept coaxing him.I was not willing to let the nanny leave until I was sure the baby was no longer crying.

I watched the nanny hugging the child and walking away, but the murderous look behind her didn't lessen.I turned around slowly, not daring to look at him even with my head down.

In the end, I thought about it, and knelt down on the ground, "Ke Xue didn't know the seriousness, so she left the table without authorization, please forgive me."

"That's not your child, what are you worried about?"

Crying so hard, only evil spirits won't be worried, right? ! "Kesue thought that if she was a princess, she would go to see the young prince right away, so she left without permission..."

He was silent for a while, and finally heard him say, "Get up. You are still a princess now, and you should not kneel no matter what you say."

I knelt on the ground and lowered my head, trying to hold back my tears.I scold myself for being stupid.Why have I kept forgetting that I am just a fake princess today? !I actually delusionally thought that I was really the prince's wife? !The me in the past was obviously able to stick to my duty and not think about it!Why did I keep forgetting tonight?Is it because I wear princess lip balm?Is it because I'm wearing a step that is supposed to be given to the princess?

"What's the matter with you?" The prince's tone seemed to relax a little.

"I'm sorry... my lord... Ke Xue knew I was wrong..." How could I forget my identity?

"Alas..." The prince suddenly sighed, and then a face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

The prince also knelt down? !

I hurriedly pressed my face to the ground so that he would not see my red eyes.

"...What's wrong with you?"

"The floor...the floor is so cool and comfortable..."

"What? Do you feel hot?" Then I felt a hand groping at the back of my neck.

"Alas!"

"What's wrong?"

"My lord... please..." Don't mess around!

"Are you unwell? ... Get up."

"Your Highness! Your Highness! May I ask what happened?!" Suddenly there was an unfamiliar voice, probably a servant had discovered us.

"Well. It's none of your business here. Go and do other things." Said the prince hugged me horizontally, rubbed my clothes, and my veil suddenly fell off.

"Ah!" I hurriedly hid my face behind the prince's shoulder, staring with terrified eyes and seeing the equally stunned servant behind him.

The servant hurriedly knelt down, "Damn the villain! The villain didn't mean to see the princess's face! Please don't kill the villain!"

Then a small voice came from my ear, "Did he see your face?"

"I don't know... But he probably didn't recognize Ke Xue..."

Then the prince snorted coldly, hugged me and continued walking without saying anything.

The poor manservant was still kneeling and trembling, "What should he do?..." I still hid my face behind his shoulder, "My lord, please say something. Don't make him nervous!  … "

The prince snorted impatiently, and then said loudly, "Go."

"Where did you tell him to go?!" I screamed under my voice.

He snorted again. "The princess said she is in a good mood today, so she won't kill you. Let's go."

Seeing the manservant thanking God with relief, I whispered to the prince who was carrying me away, "Why do you talk like a bandit?! Are you still a prince?!"

He glared at me.

"I'm sorry, my lord, please don't kill Kexue..."
