The palanquin entered the crown prince's residence from the back door. After halting, the crown prince walked to the palanquin, flipped open the palanquin, and slowly extended his hand out to Mo Qingqing.
Mo Qingqing had thought that she would be invited by the crown prince into his residence under the watchful eyes of the crowd. However, she didn't expect that she would actually enter the residence through the back door in such a way. She didn't even show any courtesy when she got off the sedan. Although she was reluctant in her heart, she still placed her hand on the crown prince's hand.
The Crown Prince held Mo Qingqing's hand and walked towards the main hall. At the head of the main hall sat the Emperor and Queen, and around them stood a few ministers.
The empress watched as the two slowly approached, her face full of joy. The emperor's expression was calm, but there was no hint of happiness or anger.
”I bow to the heavens and the earth.”
”Second bow to the hall.”
”Husband and wife bow to each other.”
”Send him to the bridal room.”
Under the witness of the crowd, the two of them finished their greetings and Mo Qingqing was sent to the bridal room.
Mo Qingqing sat on the bed, listening to the laughter in the main hall. A look of resentment flashed across his face, they were all daughters of the Mo family.
The back door was the way to marry a concubine. She was a side concubine, not a concubine!
The more Mo Qingqing thought about it this way, the more hatred he had towards Mo Ranran in his heart.
The sky gradually darkened, and the tightly shut door was pushed open. Because tomorrow was the day of the war, no one had poured too much wine into the crown prince, so he was barely able to stay awake.
He picked up Xiao Yun who was at the side, and removed Mo Qingqing's red veil, then looked below at that gentle and beautiful face. The Crown Prince's gaze softened a little. He got up and walked over to the table, poured two cups of wine, and slowly handed one to Mo Qingqing.
”Qingqing, finish this cup of wine and we will be husband and wife.” The crown prince looked gently at Mo Qingqing, who shyly received the cup and had a drink with him.
”Qing Qing, I have wronged you today. I let you enter the mansion through the back door, the plague happened too suddenly, the people at the border were displaced, and we are about to set off. ”When I become the emperor in the future, I'll definitely return you a grand ceremony.”
The Crown Prince looked at Mo Qingqing, a look of guilt flashed past his eyes, and his hands gently embraced the girl in his arms.
”Being able to marry the crown prince is already a great blessing, chenqie doesn't feel wronged.” Mo Qingqing took the opportunity to lean on the crown prince's chest, acting docile and obedient.
Seeing such a considerate Mo Qingqing, the Crown Prince's eyes flashed, he lowered his head and wanted to kiss Mo Qingqing, but suddenly felt dizzy. The Crown Prince held onto the bed, preventing himself from falling down.
”Your Highness, did you come up with alcohol?” Let me help His Highness get on the bed and rest for a while. ” Mo Qingqing said as he helped the crown prince rest on his bed.
The Crown Prince didn't show off and slowly laid down on the bed.
”Your Highness, please take your time, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some wine soup for Your Highness.” After Mo Qingqing finished speaking, he left the room, and before he left, he blew out the candles in the room.
After a while, the sound of a door opening rang out and a person slowly walked to the bedside. The crown prince smelled a fragrance, and that fragrance made him feel very comfortable.
He pulled her onto the bed and lowered his head to kiss her lips. Soon, the happy sounds of a man and a woman could be heard.
The next day, the Crown Prince woke up and looked at Mo Qingqing, who was sleeping soundly beside him. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the bruises on her body and the square handkerchief that was stained red. A soft light flashed past his eyes.
When the crown prince left, the originally sleeping Mo Qingqing opened his eyes. While touching the scars on his body, the corner of his mouth slowly rose.
Not long after the crown prince left, a mama knocked on the door. ”Empress Dowager, are you awake?” We're here to help the secondary concubine get up. ”
”Come in.” Mo Qingqing's voice came from inside the house.
Two of them helped Mo Qingqing get up while the other one directly walked towards the bed and took the square handkerchief that was stained red.
Mo Qingqing watched as the mama took the handkerchief away, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile that said that he had succeeded in his conspiracy.
After the mama left, Mo Qingqing sat in his room, sipping his tea and calculating the time.
When the time was almost up, she ordered the servants to prepare a sedan for her. She was going to the city gate to send off the Crown Prince.
She had calculated the time. When she arrived, the Crown Prince would be at the city gate, and there would be a lot of people at the gate. Soon, everyone would know that she was married to the Crown Prince.
She wanted to tell everyone that she was the crown prince's most beloved woman!
The city gate was surrounded by onlookers. Everyone had arrived, and just as the team was about to leave, from afar, someone saw a woman in pink clothes running towards them. They could faintly hear her shouts.
”Crown Prince.” Mo Qingqing lifted her skirt and ran over to the crown prince with some difficulty.
Because of Mo Qingqing's appearance, the group stopped.
”Why are you here?” Seeing Mo Qingqing rushing over, the crown prince's eyes flashed.
Mo Qingqing took out a peace talisman from his bosom and handed it over to the crown prince. ”This is the peace talisman that chenqie has sincerely requested for Your Highness when she went to the temple.”
Along the way, Mo Qingqing's forehead was covered in sweat.
The Crown Prince took Mo Qingqing's safety amulet and reached out to wipe the sweat off Mo Qingqing's forehead, ”This safety amulet can only be sent by a servant, why did you have to come here?
”Chenqie would like to take another look at Your Highness.” Mo Qingqing's face reddened, and she lowered her eyes in embarrassment.
The woman was gentle and the man was deep in love. The two of them instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.
When Mo Ranran heard the commotion, he opened the carriage's curtains to see the two of them hugging each other.
Mo Qingqing's gaze was fixated on the carriage, and instantly saw Mo Ranran.
Seeing Mo Qingqing looking over, Mo Ranran smiled at her slightly, then opened his mouth slightly: ”How were you last night?”
Mo Qingqing's face instantly changed.
Mo Qingqing retracted the hatred in her eyes, and asked naively while feigning ignorance: ”Is big sister here to send off Crown Prince?”
