The leaves fall without parallel

Chapter 156 I will call you "Imperial Sister-in-law" from now on

Soon after entering the palace, a palace maid came to lead the way. I have to say that this palace is really huge, with so many twists and turns. If she were to walk alone, she would probably get lost.

It's a shame to say that she only remembers the way to the East Palace

Ye Qingge was a little panicked. Would His Royal Highness be in attendance at an event like today? He'd been injured last time, and it looked pretty serious, and she hadn't asked after him. Would it be awkward meeting him now?

Alas, if I had known earlier, I should have gone to the palace to see him again.

She was lost in thought when she heard the maid say

"We've arrived at the Plum Garden"

Ye Qingge looked at it and only sighed in his heart

This plum garden is so big!

There are already quite a few people inside, chatting and laughing in groups of two or three, enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Xie Qing pulled her inside. Xiao Xueer had already run away. She was very familiar with the palace and did not need a maid to lead the way.

The two entered the plum garden, and a strong fragrance of plum blossoms came to their faces. Ye Qingge strolled among them, admiring the plum blossoms that stood proudly against the snow and frost. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "It's so beautiful!"

She couldn't help but get close to the plum blossoms to smell their fragrance, which was so refreshing that the snow on the ground squeaked under her feet.

After smelling it for a while, she retreated. Fortunately, the snow on the trail had been cleared and her shoes were not wet.

Xie Qing also ran to the other side to admire it. Looking around, there are many varieties of plum blossoms in this garden. It is really pleasing to the eye. I have to say that this event is well organized.

Although the weather is cold, it is worth it to enjoy such beautiful scenery on a snowy day

Suddenly, she heard a slight cough and turned around to see that it was Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen also saw her, raised his mouth slightly, and walked towards her

He's waving a fan in the heavy snow, what a show-off!

Ye Qingge thought so in her heart, but said with a smile

"Meet the Prince"

She prostrated herself

Xiao Chen closed his fan and said dissatisfiedly

"Xiao Ye Ye, why are you so polite all of a sudden? I told you to just call me Xiao Chen."

"I dare not, the prince's etiquette cannot be abolished."

Ye Qingge wanted to remind him that this was the imperial palace and that etiquette was a must, but she was not in a position to speak since there were so many people around.

"Yes, etiquette cannot be abolished. It won't be long before I have to call you the emperor's sister-in-law."

Xiao Chen pretended to be uncomfortable. Ye Qingge looked at his expression and felt a little awkward. Is it so uncomfortable to call her sister-in-law? She teased.

"Why, the prince doesn't seem to be willing?"

"Of course, you're getting married. I feel really bad about this, Prince."

Xiao Chen touched his chest, as if he was really heartbroken.

If she didn't know his character, Ye Qingge would have believed it.

"Sir, please stop joking. Your female confidantes could probably circle the entire Dongling three times."

"Hahahahahaha...Xiao Ye Ye really knows how to joke"

Xiao Chen returned to his usual cynical self, and Ye Qingge breathed a sigh of relief, because if she continued talking, she was afraid that Xiao Chen would suddenly confess his feelings.

Although she didn't want to be so narcissistic, Xiao Chen's behavior just now was really misleading.

"Let's go, I'll take you there"

"it is good"

Xiao Chen took Ye Qingge to the Plum Garden Palace. The Queen and the ladies of the other palaces were all there. He heard that Concubine Rong was ill and could not come.

"In the past, the plum blossom viewing banquet was hosted by Concubine Rong. This time, Concubine Shu was hosting it. She must be unhappy and feigned illness to not come."

"Shh, keep your voice down, be careful others might hear you"

Several concubines were talking quietly. Ye Qingge glanced at them secretly. Sure enough, where there are many women, there are many disputes.

She formally met Concubine Shu for the first time. Concubine Shu smiled, nodded, and waved to her.

"Come, come here to me."

Ye Qingge walked up to Concubine Shu

Concubine Shu looked her up and down. She was indeed a beauty like a fairy. No wonder Che'er liked her.

Ye Qingge also looked at the future mother-in-law in front of her. Judging from her appearance, she was probably only in her early thirties, with fair skin, beautiful face, and a slim figure. She looked like a delicate beauty.

But which of the three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem is not a beauty? Facing so many beauties every day, being an emperor is too happy, but I don't know if his body can handle it. No wonder the ancient emperors had short lives. With so many women waiting for his favor, it would be strange if he didn't die young.

Concubine Shu took Ye Qingge's hand and took out a bracelet from the tray of the maid next to her and put it on her.

Ye Qingge was shocked. Another bracelet?

The queen next to them glanced at them with disdain on her face. Although she was optimistic about Ye Qingge at first and liked her very much, since she was going to marry Prince Xuan, she gave up.

In fact, Ye Qingge also felt the Queen's gaze. For some reason, from the moment she entered until now, she always felt that the Queen was looking at her with an indescribable look.

She was fine when she was treating the Crown Prince before, but she didn't know why she became like this today. She didn't offend the Queen.

Ye Qingge looked at the bracelet on her hand. She wanted to refuse, but Concubine Shu held her hand.

"Since you are going to marry Che'er, we will be a family from now on. This bracelet is my gift to you."

Since she said so, Ye Qingge couldn't refuse anymore, so she quickly said

"I like this bracelet very much, thank you, Madam Royal Concubine."

Concubine Shu nodded in satisfaction. After a few pleasantries, Ye Qingge stepped back and sat down in her own seat.

Xiao Xueer and Xie Qing were sitting next to him.

They both looked at the bracelet on Ye Qingge with envy.

"From now on I have to call you the Emperor's sister-in-law."

Xiao Xueer said with a smile

“It’s still early.”

Ye Qingge replied embarrassedly

"Come, let me toast to my sister-in-law."

"Princess, please stop yelling. I'm not..."

"Isn't it just a matter of time?"

As Xiao Xueer spoke, she deliberately glanced across and saw Lin Ruoyue looking crazy. Her goal was achieved, and she felt so relieved!

Ye Qingge also felt the unfriendly gaze from the opposite side. It turned out to be Lin Ruoyue. So the princess called her sister-in-law on purpose just now, in order to anger Lin Ruoyue.

She felt like Lin Ruoyue wanted to pounce on her and tear her into pieces.

But soon, a malicious smile flashed across Lin Ruoyue's face again. She changed her expression so quickly. I wonder what evil thoughts she had in mind.

Ye Qingge didn't want to pay attention to her either. She turned her head and asked Xiao Xueer

"Princess, why isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here today?"

"Brother Crown Prince? Why are you looking for him?"

Ye Qingge was a little embarrassed

"I'm not looking for him, I'm just curious why he didn't show up"

"Oh, the prince went to Lingyun Mountain to recuperate. He will come back only if he has something else to do."

"Lingyun Mountain?"

"yes"

Ye Qingge sounds a little familiar

Seeing her lost in thought, Xiao Xueer couldn't help but teasing her

"You already have a third brother, so don't covet the crown prince. Even though the crown prince is a little better looking than the third brother, he already has someone he likes."

When she went to see the prince that day, she saw a portrait of a woman hanging in his bedroom. The person in the portrait must be the one the prince liked.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly opened her mouth wide and looked at Ye Qingge. Why did she suddenly feel that the person in the portrait looked a bit like Ye Qingge? Although there were no eyes, she had a strong premonition!

She was about to speak, but Xiao Chen knocked her on the head and told her

"Stop talking nonsense!"
