Chapter 211: So What If We're Married? I Don't Care

Ye Qingge finally had hope. She counted the days to come with her fingers. Fortunately, Xie Qing came to accompany her every day, so she didn't feel so bored.

Ever since the last incident in the harem, the concubines in the harem dared not communicate with her any more, fearing that she would give them some bad advice and cause trouble for them.

The Crown Princess herself is protected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen, and no one dares to do anything to her, but it is different for these little concubines in the harem. If they make a mistake, they will be doomed.

Ye Qingge originally wanted to listen to the harem gossip, but the concubines all avoided her.

She had no choice but to wander around the Imperial Garden in boredom and then went back.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was the emperor's birthday

The palace was busy that day, and Ye Qingge was not idle either. During the day, she had to follow the emperor, empress, and a group of concubines to offer sacrifices together. Of course, the princes and grandchildren also accompanied them.

She was calm and composed, but someone's eyes had been following her since he saw her, and he wanted to stare a hole in her.

Shen Qingqing saw that her prince had been staring at Ye Qingge since he entered the palace. Wherever she went, the prince followed her. Although he kept a distance, anyone with a discerning eye could see his intentions.

If there was no one around, he would have jumped on her long ago.

She was embarrassed and angry. His wife was right next to him, but he still wanted to go see someone else's wife! At this moment, she was so angry that her steps were weak and she could hardly walk.

She habitually grabbed Xiao Lingche's arm, trying to steady herself.

"Your Majesty, I feel a little dizzy. Can you support me?"

Xiao Lingche said coldly

"Since you are unwell, I will send someone to take you back."

When Shen Qingqing heard that the prince wanted to send her back, she refused to agree. When she was here, the prince was so blatant. If she was not here, what would happen? Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not here today, so the prince would be even more unscrupulous. What if they got together?

No, she has to follow anyway.

She let go of Xiao Lingche and forced a smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, I just couldn't stand steadily. I'm fine, hehe."

"Humph"

Xiao Lingche shook his sleeves and snorted coldly

He thought he could see Qingge when he entered the palace today, and he didn't want to bring her with him, so he got up early to avoid her. Unexpectedly, she got up even earlier and was already waiting for him at the door.

In desperation, he had to bring her into the palace.

The carriage slowly moved towards the palace

Xiao Lingche closed his eyes and rested as soon as he got in the car. Shen Qingqing looked at him eagerly, and she couldn't help but carefully moved to his side.

"There is no affection between you and me. If you behave yourself, that's fine. But if you develop other thoughts, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The cold voice sounded like it came from hell. Shen Qingqing's body trembled slightly, but then she said softly

"Your Highness, today is my father's birthday. I just want to go to the palace to celebrate. Don't worry, I promise to be a good boy."

She reached out and gently touched her belly

"Besides, the baby has been a little noisy these past few days, but as long as he's with the prince, he calms down, which means he wants to be with his father too."

Since she married into the palace, except for the night when they were intimate, she hardly saw him.

During the day he was always busy with official duties and came back very late. Shen Qingqing sometimes waited until midnight, wanting to see him, but was blocked by Qingshi at the door of the study.

"Qingshi, I made some soup for the prince. It's so late, he must be hungry. Please let me in."

Qingshi held the sword in front of her and said expressionlessly

"The prince said that he won't eat what you cook. Who knows what else might be added to it?"

Shen Qingqing blushed and turned pale

"I promise there's nothing inside, just let me in. I haven't seen the prince for a long time."

"Princess, don't you know why you can't see the prince? It's just that the prince doesn't want to see you. I advise you to go back quickly, so as not to disturb the prince later. If he gets angry, you know the consequences."

Qingshi was not trying to scare her. The prince didn't like her in the first place. She was the one who used tricks to get close to the prince. If it weren't for the regent's face, the prince would have given her up long ago.

Now you still want to push your luck further, you are just testing the waters on the brink of death.

Shen Qingqing was so angry that she almost couldn't stand up. Fortunately, the maid supported her in time.

Does the prince really hate me so much? He won't even see me.

Seeing the light in the study go out, she reluctantly returned to her own courtyard.

Two days ago, someone from the palace came to tell me that the Emperor's birthday was coming up in a few days, and that the Prince must bring his wife to the palace to attend. Given the Prince's personality, he definitely wouldn't bring me along.

So she got up early that day, so that the prince had to take her there.

Now that she had met the prince and was riding in the same carriage with him, Shen Qingqing was extremely happy.

……

Xiao Lingche raised his eyes slightly and glanced at her belly.

"How many months has he already started making a fuss? You speak without thinking, and do you still think I'm a fool?"

Shen Qingqing was frightened by his cold look, as if the child in her belly was not his.

She covered her stomach and quickly explained

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that the baby also needs his father's love and his company."

"You know exactly how this child came about. Don't try to use it to blackmail me. Once you give birth to him, I'll give you a divorce letter. During this time, you'd better behave yourself."

"What? Your Majesty wants to divorce me?"

Shen Qingqing opened her mouth in disbelief

"We originally agreed to get married in a fake way, and when the time came, you took the initiative to divorce. What? Now you're going to cancel it? If I had known you were two-faced, I shouldn't have accepted your advice. You've caused me to lose the woman I love."

Shen Qingqing's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was filled with pleading.

"Your Highness, although our marriage was a pretense, I am truly sincere to you. After spending so much time together, don't you think you haven't been moved at all?"

Xiao Lingche snorted coldly

"Don't be so sentimental anymore, my heart belongs only to her."

“But she’s already married.”

"So what? I don't care."

Shen Qingqing was hit hard, and she said unwillingly

"Is she really that good? Is she worth this?"

Xiao Lingche sneered

"Just because she won't be as scheming as you, she's worth it!"

Xiao Lingche closed his eyes again, not wanting to waste any more words with her.

"If you still want to enter the palace, shut up, or I'll throw you out!"

Shen Qingqing's face was full of tears, but Xiao Lingche didn't even look at her. She wiped them with a handkerchief and said, "It doesn't matter. Even if you still have her in your heart, she is already married."

Do you still want to snatch her away from the Crown Prince? She was sure that Xiao Lingche would not dare to do so, and she felt relieved.

The carriage moved forward slowly, but the atmosphere inside was so oppressive that it made people breathless.
