love concubine

We came to a large tavern in the city and asked for a quiet meal in a wing on the second floor.

He skillfully ordered a few dishes, and after the waiter left, we were the only ones in the room. "My lord..."

"Don't call me lord outside." We sat in the middle of the room, avoiding the midday sun from the balcony.

"Sorry..." I pouted slightly dissatisfied.I thought to myself, if I don't call you the prince, should I call you "Xiao Zhen" like a princess?  …

"Call me Mr. Cui﹑Cui Zhen. Whatever you want."

"What?!" Cui Zhen... seems too abrupt... Let's call him, "Young Master Cui."

The prince put down his teacup and suddenly smiled, "Since Mr. Ji is out for a stroll, don't call yourself "Kexue". None of us are princes or male concubines now. We are just young masters visiting the capital together."

"I'm not... a male concubine?!" But the prince just now...didn't he introduce me as a male concubine?  …

"Just now, show me the jade pendant that Mo Wenxi gave you." He suddenly became serious again.

"Ah! Yes..." I timidly put my hands together.

The lord held up the jade pendant and looked at it very carefully under the sunlight, as if he wanted to see something.

"Next time, ask Qian Shu for the jade pendant." The prince returned the jade pendant to me, so to speak.

"Um?!"

"As expected, if you introduce to them that you are the male concubine of our Cui family, you will gain their sympathy. Although it is a little humiliating, when the situation is unclear, it is inevitable that Young Master Ji will give in."

I suddenly realized!It turns out that the prince's indifferent attitude in Ye Rong Jing Pavilion just now was all pretending!He made me feel pitiful on purpose so that those people would be less wary of me.

"The situation is unknown...? Are they related to the person who endangered the princess?!"

"I don't know yet. But since Mo Wenxi has already given you the jade pendant, and with Qian Shu's personality that usually likes to compete with Mo Wenxi, it is only a matter of time before he gives you the jade pendant that he carries with him."

"Why do you want to send something?"

"Young Master Ji is Princess Ziyin's male concubine, so there are bound to be people who want to curry favor with you."

"But...why the jade pendant?"

"If you don't know, you don't have to know."

The prince said so firmly, I couldn't help but frown in frustration.

But the prince let out a smile and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ji, for your help."

Hearing him thanking me suddenly, I hurriedly declined humbly, "No! Kexue belongs to the princess, that is to say, from your Cui family. Kexue should do this..."

"Or "Kesue"?" He raised his glass casually, raised his eyebrows and smiled slyly.

"Ah!..."I"..." I lowered my head shyly.Why doesn't this prince just look fierce?How about smiling so nicely? !People can't get used to it!

After we had lunch, just as we left the tavern, Lan ran over with a sad face, "My lord! It's not good! Princess Renxiang is at the mansion now, and she said she must see Princess Ziyin!"

I gasped in panic, but the prince just hummed lightly.

"Let's go back." He said calmly, and then he walked ahead and hurried away.

As soon as we returned to Xuanzhong Prince's Mansion, Aunt Mei greeted us at the door, "My lord! Manager Wang has stopped Princess Renxiang in the hall. But the princess is very determined, as if there is some reason why she insists on seeing Princess Ziyin. "

"En. Lan, quickly bring Mr. Ji back to my room. Let him put on the princess's clothes and lie on the bed." The prince calmly ordered.

We nodded in response.Just as I turned to leave, the prince stopped me suddenly, "Don't be nervous." He only said these three words.

I stopped in amazement.Looking at the back of him turning away, there was a burst of sweetness in my heart.If only he was colder to me...

Lan and Aunt Mei saw that I was blank and didn't respond, so they took me by the hand and went back to the prince's room.They hurriedly dressed me in princess clothes without even putting on makeup, and rolled me into the bed.The two of them argued for a while, asking whether I should wear a veil, and the voices of the prince and Princess Renxiang came from outside the door.

The three of us panicked for a while, and finally Aunt Mei calmly pulled down the bed veil and let Lan sit on the wooden chair next to the bed, pretending to be waiting by my side all the time.

I turned my face away and closed my eyes to pretend to be asleep, hiding my mouth and nose under the quilt.

"Quick! Let me see Ziyin's situation!" Listening to Princess Renxiang's voice, she seemed particularly worried.

"Princess Renxiang doesn't need to worry. Ziyin just hasn't healed after giving birth, and her body gets tired easily."

There was a sound of quick steps, and Lan and Aunt Mei said respectfully, "Princess Renxiang."

Then I felt someone sit on the edge of the bed.I tried my best to pretend to be asleep, but my heart was tense and my body tensed unnaturally.I am not wearing a veil now, if Princess Renxiang finds out that I am a fake, the Cui family will be accused of being a bully!  …

"Ziyin..." Then a hand stroked my forehead.I guess I frowned unconsciously. "She's hot! Is it a fever? What's wrong?!"

"Back to the princess, Cui has already invited the doctor to see Ziyin. They say it's just a small matter such as physical fatigue, and Princess Renxiang doesn't need to worry about it."

"Yeah... It's fine if it's like this... You also know that the eighth emperor brother just passed away, and no one knows what disease he has... I'm just worried that Ziyin has the same disease, so I'm so long-winded, Insist on seeing that she is fine so I can feel at ease..."

"Thank you for your trouble. Please rest assured, Princess, Cui will definitely take good care of Ziyin."

"Hmm..." Then I felt the princess stand up and heard the bed veil being lowered.

"By the way," Princess Renxiang said suddenly, "Didn't Ziyin have two guards? Where are they? And that male concubine, I heard that Ziyin always keeps him by his side?"

"An Jin and An Sang happened to be away from the capital because of something important. That male concubine went with the doctor to get the medicine."

"It's like this..."

"Since Her Royal Highness has seen that Zi Yin is fine, I think it's better not to disturb her rest?"

"Mmm Good."

Then there was a light scraping of veils and the sound of footsteps.I waited silently, and finally heard Lan whisper in my ear, "Young Master Ji, it's all right!"

I opened my eyes nervously, seeing the happy smile on Lan's face, and I immediately relaxed.

"Thank you..." I sighed in relief.

"I didn't expect that Renxiang would be worried about Princess Ziyin!" Lan pouted and commented. "Except for the one time at Princess Ziyin's wedding banquet and the little prince's hundred-day banquet, she has never paid any attention to Princess Ziyin in these years!"

"Don't talk too much!" Mei Yi hung up the bed gauze, and lightly taught Lan, "Don't worry so much about things between princesses."

When Lan Beimei said this, he lowered his head listlessly.I grabbed Lan's sleeve and smiled to show that I didn't care, but Aunt Mei said to me again, "You too, how long are you going to lie on this bed?"

"Ah!" I quickly sat up, "I'm sorry..."

"Really! You only have a cute face." Aunt Mei patted the top of my head, but there was a kind smile on her face. "If I have a son like yours, I don't know if I should worry about whether he will be attracted by some lustful man!"

Lan and I were stunned together.Aunt Mei kicked me out of bed, and while she was making the bedding, she continued, "You also know that since the emperor appointed a male queen, there has been a trend among the people to marry male concubines. Male concubines are different from male pets. As for male pets, at least they will be free after redemption. As for male concubines, they belong to the same generation..."

"Aunt Mei...don't scare Young Master Ji like that...he's just a 17-year-old kid."

"Fortunately, Mr. Ji is different. You are the concubine of the princess, not the concubine of some uncle. How to put it, you can be regarded as the half-husband of the princess."

"Aunt Mei." Suddenly there was a deep voice.The three of us didn't pay attention, and looked back eagerly, but the prince was already standing at the door.

"Ah! Master!" Aunt Mei stopped what she was busy with and stood up straight.

"Master Ji, why are you up?" The prince ignored everything in the room and walked directly in front of me.

"Um?......"

"Don't be brave when you're sick. Go back to bed and rest."

"But Keshe..."

"Kesue again?" The prince frowned and pretended to be stern, but I saw a faint smile on his face.

I immediately relaxed, and smiled timidly, "But we're not outside now..."

"Look at Aunt Mei and Lan, they are not polite to me."

"Young master!" "My lord!" The two exclaimed in amazement at the same time, and then lowered their heads in embarrassment.

"I'm the same as Zi Yin, I don't like to put on airs. When there are only a few of us, Mr. Ji, you don't have to be polite."

"Then you don't want to call me Ke... just call me "Master Ji"..." I pouted and replied.

"Ah?" The prince raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Then what do you want me to call you?"

"Ah..." I looked up and thought about it.I was just talking mischievously just now, and I didn't really think about how the prince should call me...

"Kexue? Xiaoxue?" The prince teased and teased.

"What?!" Xiaoxue? !

My cheeks became hot again in an instant, and I saw Aunt Mei and Lan secretly holding back their smiles.I was overwhelmed with embarrassment, so I turned over and hid under the quilt on the bed, covered the quilt over my head and said, "I'm not feeling well! I'm going to rest now!"
