[023] Borrowing wine to dissipate worries and worry more
After the separation, the complicated struggles in the palace made Qi Mingzhuo very disappointed with the palace, especially the death of his mother and concubine, the death of his father and the emperor's brother becoming emperor. These three major events made him resolutely choose to stay away from the palace and not seek an official position.
He works part-time and just wants to be a leisurely prince, but his love for Xue Changxi grows day by day.【】
He shamelessly went to Xue Mansion to propose marriage, but Prime Minister Xue said that Chang Xi had not yet had her haircut, and that he would wait until she had her hairpin.
He was not in a hurry, he had been waiting, and while waiting he heard many interesting things about her, including the praise of the most beautiful woman in the capital.
His daily leisurely life became particularly satisfying after hearing her interesting stories.
He thought his life could go on like this, and finally she passed her age. He was about to go to the Xue Mansion to propose marriage when he heard the news that she had been admitted to the palace, and that the emperor had already blessed her.
He finally figured it out. It turned out that Prime Minister Xue took off his clothes that day just because he couldn't reach a higher level. What Prime Minister Xue wanted was power, and these were things he couldn't give.
But how can such an innocent and lovely person survive in such a complicated harem?
"Why send Chang Xi to the palace?" Qi Mingzhuo angrily ran to Xue Fu to question Prime Minister Xue.
Prime Minister Xue sneered, "My daughter and the emperor fell in love at first sight and fell in love with each other. Of course she will enter the palace. Moreover, the emperor has made my daughter a noble concubine, and she is loved by thousands of people. Does Prince An have any objections?"
Qi Mingzhuo didn't seem to hear it, and just asked in a daze, "Do she and the emperor really like each other?"
"certainly."
He was stunned, and his whole body was shattered in an instant. He went to see the emperor to ask for confirmation of the matter, but the emperor refused to summon him because he was ill.
The matter was a foregone conclusion. He didn't want to see the imperial brother who had taken away his beloved woman, so he simply didn't go to court and hid at home drinking to relieve his lovesickness. Little did he know that before the wine was in, he burst into tears.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to have your meal." Bizhu came in with the exquisite dishes and looked at the sad Prince quietly for a while before saying.
Qi Mingzhuo picked up the glass of wine without looking at her, and said calmly, "Take it away, I'm not hungry."
"Your Majesty, you can't do this." Bizhu put down the dishes and walked up to him, "Now that things have happened, I have to talk too much. In fact, Miss Xue was the one who attended the bed last night. It was Prime Minister Xue who has been deceiving the prince."
Hearing this, Qi Mingzhuo was stunned, and then looked at her intently, "Bizhu, are you telling the truth?"
