In the East Palace, there is the Baihua Palace where the crown prince Zhao Rui lives.
"Your Highness is here."
Seeing Li Chen striding towards him, Zhao Rui quickly stood up to greet him.
"I heard that the prince went to the morning court today? Is everything going well? Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to prepare some snacks that His Highness likes..."
Before Zhao Rui finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Chen.
"No need, I'm going to talk to the Crown Prince, and everyone else should step aside."
After all the serving maids had left, Li Chen sat down on the sofa, looked at the snowy scene outside the window, and said casually: "Prince Concubine, this Baihua Palace has always been full of peonies, roses and other gorgeous flowers, but these flowers are delicate and need to be taken care of."
It’s also very troublesome to grow, and the flowering period is short. Now that the weather is getting colder, it’s best to raise more plum blossoms.”
Zhao Rui made a pot of tea for Li Chen and gently placed it on the soft tea table. Hearing this, he said: "The plum blossoms are bitterly cold. Everything is quiet in this winter. There are not many beautiful flowers. If your highness likes it, I will give it to you."
I asked someone to plant some plum blossoms, but in the past His Highness only liked pretty flowers, so how can I persuade you to plant such elegant flowers as plum blossoms now?"
"People will change."
Li Chen said something nonchalant, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and praised: "The best Jin Junmei, this tea is not available in the East Palace, right? Is it brought in from outside?"
For some reason, Zhao Rui always felt that Li Chen was very strange today, as if every word he said was full of meaning.
But she didn't dare to ask directly, so she could only answer carefully: "Green tea is cold to the stomach. I like black tea more, so I asked someone to buy some... If Your Highness doesn't like it, I won't drink it anymore."
"I like it, I like it so much."
Li Chen put down the tea cup, raised his hand and pulled Zhao Rui's soft pancreas to lie on him. Looking at the charming Zhao Rui on his chest, Li Chen chuckled and said: "Back then, Cao Zhi wrote a poem in seven steps, and later wrote "
"Luo Shen Fu" praises the beauty of Luo Shen. Nowadays, Luo Shen is not as good as the prince's concubine."
Zhao Rui's pretty face turned red and she said angrily: "What nonsense did His Highness say in broad daylight..."
"Speaking from the bottom of my heart."
Li Chen's palm slowly stroked Zhao Rui's crystal clear white face, his thumb rubbed her delicate red lips, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "The prince's concubine was arranged to enter the East Palace that day because she was burdened with the temptation.
It’s my mission, but this mission can be considered a failure at the moment. Didn’t the Chief Assistant give you any subsequent orders?”
These words made Zhao Rui, who was lying softly on Li Chen a moment ago, instantly stiffen.
There was a hint of panic and horror in her beautiful eyes, and she said subconsciously: "Your Highness, I don't understand what you are saying."
"don't know?"
The smile on Li Chen's face gradually disappeared and he said: "You are a distant relative of Zhao Xuanji. He has deliberately sent you to me. The current situation is not good for him. How come he doesn't use you as a chess piece?"
Zhao Rui panicked and tried to get up from Li Chen, but Li Chen pinned her down and prevented her from moving.
"I am considering...whether to kill you or keep you. So at this moment, you'd better say nothing or do nothing, otherwise I will probably make a decision now."
Li Chen's words frightened Zhao Rui so much that she turned pale and immediately lay on Li Chen's chest without daring to move.
At least Li Chen can live until he makes a decision.
Once a decision is made, life or death will be decided.
Zhao Rui bit her lip, her big bright and affectionate eyes filled with watery tears, which made people feel pity at first sight.
"Let's go."
Li Chen suddenly pushed Zhao Rui away, stood up and said.
"Where to go?"
Zhao Ruifang's heart trembled. Is His Highness the Crown Prince going to take her out and kill her?
Are you afraid that your blood will stain the East Palace?
"The city is covered with heavy snow, and there are many victims outside the capital. I will take you outside to have a look."
