Chapter 178 - CHAPTER - 177

Role play - stepmother empress x stepson crown prince

The courtyard was full of flowers, and large hydrangeas were blooming enthusiastically. It was midsummer, and the cicadas were chirping in the bushes, and the birds were making noises. In this dead palace, this was the only place where Yanyan could feel at ease.

 She dismissed the palace servants and sat alone in the pavilion, wearing a bright red gauze shirt with large sleeves. The translucent gauze revealed her snow-white skin, and her jade body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of red mist. Under the gauze shirt was a moon-white chest-length skirt, which dragged on the ground. The hem of the skirt was embroidered with light golden phoenix tail patterns. Her plump breasts could hardly be concealed under the dress, and the pair of beautiful breasts seemed to jump out with her breathing, fragrant and moving.

 Her thin hands supported her forehead, her sleeves slipped down her arms, and her white wrists were bare. She seemed not to like wearing jewelry. Her hair was gathered to one side and combed into a bun, and she was dressed like a woman. She only had a peony and two golden phoenix hairpins in her hair, with a few pearls hanging down. Her face was plain, not even wearing a flower ornament, but she was still elegant and noble, with a charming teardrop mole under her eyes and a gorgeous face.

 As footsteps approached, she looked in the direction of the sound and saw a handsome face. She almost thought it was her dream. Her eyes flickered for a moment, and she woke up and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

 The Crown Prince saluted her and said, "Queen."

 The surname of the Qi Dynasty was Lu. The man in front of her was the crown prince of the dynasty, and she was the queen of the dynasty. According to seniority, she was his stepmother, but he had never called her that.

 At first, their relationship was not like this.

 She was the youngest daughter of the former prime minister. Her father was from the same family as the queen mother. When she was young, she was often taken to the palace by the queen mother to live for a short time. It can be said that she was destined to marry into the royal family. At that time, he was just an unpopular prince. His mother was of humble status and died early. His uncle's family had no power. The palace concubine who raised him had her own biological son. He was inconspicuous in the palace and was bullied by other princes.

 But she still liked to play with him the most. Among all the princes and princesses, she only liked him. For this, the queen mother blamed her a lot.

 Probably because he didn't like to talk, she always wanted him to say a few more words. What she looked forward to most in the palace every day was seeing him. Similarly, he only played with her and ignored others.

 Childhood sweethearts are a perfect match in dramas, but for them, it was an imperial edict. He was made a king early and went to a war thousands of miles away, and she had to marry a man who could be her father, a man she had regarded as an uncle since childhood, and become his new queen.

 They were so close yet so far away. They were separated by more than a thousand miles. They were separated by the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Qi Dynasty and the huge and majestic palace. They were firmly nailed in the history books. No matter how many years passed, they could not embrace each other.

 The little queen forced a smile at him and said with a curved eyebrow: "Prince, are you here to ask about the candidate for the Crown Princess?"

 As the queen, she must be the one to choose the Crown Princess. Not only that, she also had to choose concubines for him, manage his wedding, arrange one virtuous woman after another for him, give birth to children for him, and watch him enter the bridal chamber with other women.

 Why did she come here? This was where they played when they were young. She still remembered the game of hide-and-seek. She hid in this pavilion. The location here was very remote. No one had found her all day. As the sky gradually darkened and there was no one around, she was a little scared, but at that time, he came.

 He took her away from there and promised her, "I know you are afraid of the dark. I will find you before dark next time. Don't run so far next time."

 This promise may not be fulfilled. In another month, he will become someone else's husband. The person he will take home and find before dark will no longer be her. How

 Much restraint she needs to use to say such words to him, to ask him with a smile, and to do what a queen should do.

 "I can not marry." The prince looked at her with heavy eyes.

 It is undeniable how happy she was when he said this, but there was no fate between them. She was the queen, and he was the prince, so he should put away those thoughts.

 She came here and planned to completely let go of the past. She

 was persuading him and herself. The little queen tightened her lips and said seriously: "You are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the crown prince, and the Crown Princess will be the mother of the country in the future. The Crown Prince's marriage is a state affair..."

 The Crown Prince interrupted her and said, "Why didn't I know that you were so generous before?" Before

 She used to be a little girl who always followed him around, got jealous when she saw him talking to others, and always called him "Brother Sheng" in short. Now she is the queen, so dignified and generous that she almost doesn't recognize herself.

 Sometimes he would wonder if she had a heart. Can she really pretend that nothing has happened and ignore him? The affection and love in their youth are like an empty dream of his alone.

 Intellectually, he also knows very well that he should let go, but saying and doing are two different things. He can never really let go. There is no retreat in his world. He knows from birth that what you snatch is yours. Waiting for others to give it to you is charity and unrealistic. Whatever you want and desire, you must fight for it with all your strength and occupy it in your arms!

 He has never thought about letting her go.

 The prince frowned and looked at her with his deep eyes. His gaze became more and more wanton, lingering on her half-exposed breasts. He came to the pavilion to find her today not to discuss the matter of the Crown Princess with her, but to tell her: "The emperor was critically ill half an hour ago."

 The emperor was seriously ill, and the crown prince was the regent, but no one informed the queen? His power was far greater than she imagined.

 During the war in the northwest, he returned to Beijing with military merits from his fiefdom in the northwest. He almost died in the rebellion in Qicheng, but not only did he not die, he also killed three brothers who wanted to kill him in that war. Since then, he has seized military power, and half of the officials in the court are his followers. Even the emperor had to make him the crown prince.

 The throne was in his hands. She originally thought that he would wait. On the day of their wedding, the emperor suddenly fell ill. The imperial doctors said that it could not be cured. The emperor wanted to remove him, but was powerless. That's why he made him the crown prince. He thought that he could inherit the throne legitimately after waiting for a few more years. But obviously he couldn't wait any longer. The government and military power were all in his control. He controlled the entire Da Qi. What was a palace?

 Yanyan lowered her eyes, not daring to think about it anymore. She walked past him and prepared to leave the pavilion.

 As soon as she took two steps, the crown prince immediately grabbed her thin wrist, pulled her into his arms, and said, "Are you afraid?"

 He had thought about marrying her when she reached the age of marriage, but with her family background, she would never marry a prince who was not valued. He was also unwilling to live a mediocre life. He had been planning since then, but fate was always like this. Before he succeeded, he heard the news that she would become the queen. Why couldn't he wait? Unless he gets that position, he can never have her. He can't marry someone else. He can't be indifferent like her. What

 He got in return for all his efforts, must not be her fear of him!

 The wrist bone seemed to be crushed by him. The little queen frowned and shook her head. How could she be afraid of him? Anyone in the world might be afraid of him, but she wouldn't. She said anxiously, "I'm not afraid. The emperor is seriously ill. As the queen, I should go to serve him."

 The prince raised a rampant arc at his lips: "Why do you think he fell ill on the wedding night? Why has he been ill since then?"

 No wonder... Although she married the emperor, she is still a virgin. The emperor can no longer have sex since he fell ill.

 She was completely stunned, not because of fear of him, but because of grief for him. Her eyes were full of worry about him. If the matter were exposed, he would die!

 "You..." The little queen didn't know what to say.

 He was just such a person, a man who killed his brother and father, violated the will of heaven, and was heartless and ruthless. She had known this for a long time, hadn't she? He had never concealed it from her. They had been together since childhood, knowing each other and accompanying each other. There was no reason for them not to love each other and stay together.

 The prince pinched her jaw with his tiger's mouth, forced her to open her mouth, pushed a pill into her mouth and forced her to swallow it, and laughed softly: "Don't be afraid, you will feel better soon..."

 I don't know what medicine he gave her, but after a while, her body was not right. Her steps were weak, as if she were stepping on clouds, and a fire rose in her heart. Her body was so soft that she didn't need him to restrain her anymore. She didn't even have the strength to push him. She leaned softly in his arms. When she raised her eyes, her eyes were so charming that tears could drip.

 "What medicine did you give me..." The little queen couldn't even stand without the support of his body.

 The man's strong fingers brushed across her blushing face. Seeing her snow-white breasts rise and fall violently with her breathing, his eyes were full of desire, and he said, "This is a good medicine tributed from the Western Regions. It won't hurt your body. It will make you suffer less."
