Chapter 171 How dare you interrupt his good thing?
Until the fourth day of the New Year, heavy snow was still falling all around the capital, with no sign of stopping.
There were very few pedestrians on the streets within the capital, let alone outside the city.
The official roads in and out of the capital were covered with thick snow, and it was difficult to find footprints within several miles.
In the afternoon, a chestnut horse was galloping wildly on the path, and the person on the horse was so cold that his face turned purple.
Fortunately, he finally rushed into the city before the city gate was locked.
The sound of horse hooves rang out as they headed straight for the East Palace.
In contrast to the freezing cold outside, the prince's chambers were filled with the warmth of spring. The prince lay half-lying on the steps, his shirt completely uncovered.
He squinted his eyes, sipped the sweet wine leisurely, and watched the beauty dancing in front of him.
The beauty was wearing a belly-baring dress and a veil. She swayed her waist gently in front of him, and every step seemed to be captivating.
The clothes were tightly attached to her graceful curves, and the prince's eyes were constantly wandering over her body, making him feel indescribably comfortable.
This beauty was Herme, who came to dance with Princess Lingxi at the family dinner on New Year's Eve.
As early as New Year's Eve, he had been coveting her for a long time. When everyone in Zhengyang Palace focused their attention on Princess Lingxi, he was the only one who kept nodding to Hermione.
Unlike the shyness of ordinary women, Herme boldly looked back, which made the prince even more interested.
Later he found an excuse to leave his seat, and sure enough, the woman came up to him.
She also seduced him in every way in the rockery. Although he no longer had to be as cautious as usual, he did not dare to be too rash. He just secretly made up his mind to get her into the house as soon as possible.
Today I finally achieved my wish!
The East Palace is his territory, and no one cares what he wants to do.
What's more, today is not the first or fifteenth day of the month, so he doesn't have to consider the Crown Princess's face.
As soon as dinner was over, Helme was summoned to perform a dance.
Of course, he was the only one who appreciated the dance.
Having said that, we have to say that the prince has a sharp eye.
On New Year's Eve, he was able to pick out Hermione at first sight among so many masked dancers.
Now that there was no one else here, her bold and passionate dance soon made the prince feel hot all over.
"Why don't you drink a few more glasses, Your Highness?" She smiled and picked up an exquisite wine pot and poured another glass of wine for the prince.
The prince laughed and said, "Drinking it straight away is too boring." "We have a different way to drink the fine wine of the Northern Frontier. Could you allow me to demonstrate it to Your Highness?"
"Oh? Isn't the way to drink fine wine the same?" The prince was intrigued.
Hermione took off her veil and threw it to the prince.
Then she smiled charmingly, held the wine pot and danced the Huxuan dance around the prince.
The colorful braids on her head kept spinning as she danced, whipping the prince's body, making him feel numb and itchy.
Every time he tried to reach out and grab her, Hermé would nimbly dodge, and when he withdrew his hand, she would come back to dance passionately in front of him again.
After several attempts, the prince laughed and scolded: "You little bitch have so many tricks."
"Don't be anxious, Your Highness." Herme smiled and picked up the wine jug, leaning back. The wine in the jug poured out from a high place like a clear spring and flowed into her mouth.
Then, she stood up, took the prince's collar with one hand, and leaned down. When the prince was stunned, their lips touched, and she tasted the sweetness of the wine...
The prince, who had always been bound by etiquette, had never seen such wanton seduction, and his eyes widened immediately.
Before he could react, those bold lips moved away from his mouth and moved down along his neck.
As he felt the itch he couldn't describe, he suddenly felt his waist loosen, and the original heat turned slightly cool.
He only felt that he had lost control of his body and was trapped in the dark inner room.
The light is as small as a bean, hot and intense.
"Your Highness..." The eunuch's voice came from outside the door, "The Crown Princess has an urgent matter to ask for, and someone from Yongjia Palace is here to ask you to come over and take a look."
Yongjia Palace is where the Crown Princess lives.
Hermi paused, then raised her head, her eyes lingering as she watched a faint swirl of discontent. "Let her go!" the prince roared, his voice hoarse.
How could he allow himself to be interrupted at such a critical moment?
Hearing this, Hermione curled her lips into a smile and leaned down again.
The braids on top of her head will continue to tease and add layers of detail as she moves.
……
In Yongjia Palace, the Crown Princess was so angry that she swept away all the tea sets on the table.
The palace maid who had just delivered the message was trembling with fear.
"Ridiculous! It's really ridiculous! Don't think I don't know the origin of that woman! What good girl? Bah! Isn't she just the dancer beside Lingxi? She was seduced into the Eastern Palace before the New Year was over!" The Crown Princess was so angry that she felt dizzy.
The nanny beside her quickly supported her: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Once that woman enters the Eastern Palace, she can't escape your clutches. You can deal with her slowly later. The present matter is more important." The Crown Princess paused and said: "You are right."
Then, she looked at the man kneeling in front of her. The snowflakes on his body had not yet fallen away, and his face was deformed by the cold. She couldn't tell whether the coldness all over his body came from the inside out or from the outside in.
He held a badge in his hand to prove his identity.
Nanny Chang poured lamp oil on the waist plaque, and a colorful cloud pattern appeared on it. "Put it away." The Crown Princess frowned. "Such a big thing happened before the New Year, why are you only reporting it today?"
The man's tongue was frozen stiff, and he spoke haltingly, "It…it happened suddenly. Lord Chang didn't come up with a plan at first…so he didn't dare act rashly…Later, he wrote a letter, ordering me to go to the capital to present it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince…But the roads to the capital were slippery due to the snow…I…I wasn't paying attention…I fell off my horse and fainted…Luckily, a nearby villager rescued me. I'm seriously injured and feeling unwell…I have no choice but to recuperate in the village…As soon as my injuries improve…I will come…here immediately."
He then revealed his still-unhealed right hand and right leg, which were indeed covered in scars, a shocking sight of bruises. "How could Second Uncle do such a foolish thing!" the Crown Princess exclaimed bitterly. "When he returned to Jiangnan after taking up his post a few years ago, he repeatedly urged me to keep the Crown Prince in check, and yet, in the blink of an eye, he's gotten himself into such a mess! He's secretly established an imperial farm? And... he's even trafficking in people! Is he that desperate for money?"
After the Crown Princess finished scolding, she asked again, "Did he tell me how to deal with it?!"
The visitor hesitated for a moment and did not answer.
"Speak up! What are you still hesitating about?!" the Crown Princess said angrily.
"It's not that I refuse to tell you... Lord Chang asked me to... hand the letter to... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person... Lord Chang said that Your Majesty shouldn't be too involved..."
"What? Second uncle wants to beg me for something, but at the same time he wants to be on guard against me?" The Crown Princess laughed angrily.
Seeing this, the nanny beside her hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please don't think so. I actually thought that Lord Chang was protecting you... This matter is of great importance, and the Crown Prince will surely be furious. Lord Chang, only by presenting the whole story directly and facing the Crown Prince's wrath directly can you avoid his anger."
"What Madam Chang said... is exactly what Lord Chang meant..." The visitor paused, "The Imperial Manor was not established privately... It was instructed by the Crown Prince... It's just that something went wrong..."
"What? The prince actually knows that there is a manor in Jiangnan that is registered under his name?" The Crown Princess was shocked.
The visitor nodded: "This matter has been kept secret from you... so you can just pretend you know nothing about it..."
The Crown Princess frowned. "So what should we do now? You've seen that he's being seduced by someone. He definitely won't see you tonight."
If the Crown Prince does not meet tonight, it will be delayed for another day. What should be done if Marquis Weiyuan reports this to His Majesty?
Nanny Chang thought for a moment and said, "Marquis Weiyuan has been back in the capital for several days. If he wanted to make an accusation, he wouldn't have waited until today. I dare say there's no need to rush tonight. It would be better to ask this young man to wait in the Crown Prince's outer study for a night. That way, when the Crown Prince receives the message tomorrow morning, he'll know you've come to the capital overnight and waited all night. He'll naturally understand the urgency of the situation and will summon you immediately."
"Madam, what you said makes sense." The Crown Princess nodded. She glanced at the messenger, who looked miserable, and said in a muffled voice, "Let's do this. Take him to the outer study first, and then have someone prepare some hot water to warm him up."
"Yes……"
The Eastern Palace had two study rooms. The inner study was mostly used by the Crown Prince to meet with his staff, and it contained partitions and secret rooms, storing many secrets. The outer study, on the other hand, was mostly used for ordinary meetings with guests. It contained no books or letters, and it was impossible for others to find anything there.
The messenger was sitting in the outer study, holding a hand warmer.
He swept away his fatigue and looked around to see if there was anyone around. He placed the letter from Chang Jing hidden in his arms on the desk. Then he quietly opened the window and climbed over the wall to escape while no one was around.
