Chapter 94 Don’t follow in his footsteps
After leaving these words, she turned and left.
"Pingyao!" Seeing that she was about to leave, Ling Fengyang stood up subconsciously, but the severe pain from his legs instantly made him fall aside in embarrassment, "Pingyao, don't go, don't go!"
Princess Pingyao walked outside the cell and turned to look at him, her eyes showing unprecedented indifference and disgust: "Staying with someone like you makes me feel that even the air is dirty."
Ling Fengyang lay on the ground, like a trapped animal on the verge of death. After a long time, he slowly got up from the ground and moved to the corner to lean against. There was a despairing silence around him.
After walking out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, the eldest princess of Pingyao took the car back to her home.
After they got married, Qin Yumo has been living in Moyao Palace. It was not called this name before, but he changed it after they got married.
Qin Yumo once stared at this plaque for a long time, always feeling that the name of the palace did not look very smooth, but Princess Pingyao insisted that he could not say anything.
The eldest princess of Pingyao also set up a bookcase for him in the side hall for him to use for reading and writing.
The study pavilion is very warmly decorated, and Qin Yumo likes to stay here very much. The rich smell of pine ink is intoxicating, mixed with the scent of tea, and there is a sense of being away from the troubles of the world and enjoying the quietness of the room alone.
When Princess Pingyao opened the embroidered curtain and came in, she saw Qin Yumo sitting on a chair behind the desk in the side hall, holding a book and reading intently. However, if you look closely, you will find that he is actually distracted, following Reading has nothing to do with it.
The eldest princess of Pingyao leaned outside the door and said nothing, quietly watching Qin Yumo's frown, not missing the worry in his eyebrows.
He didn't even notice her standing by the door for a long time.
The eldest princess of Pingyao then walked in, bent down and took the book out of his hand, then raised his chin in an extremely natural movement, leaned over and kissed his lips, "What are you thinking about so much?"
Qin Yumo stood up: "His Highness is back?"
"Sit down." Pingyao pressed his shoulder, "If you have any trouble, you can tell me."
Qin Yumo sat down nervously, "Actually, it's not a big deal..."
The eldest princess of Pingyao said nothing, propped her chin up, and just looked at him quietly.
Qin Yumo pursed his lips and whispered, "I heard that Princess Jiahe beat Consort Shen again last night."
Princess Pingyao raised her eyebrows: "Are you worried that I will use violence against you like Princess Jiahe?"
"No." Qin Yumo shook his head quickly, "I... I just feel that Prince Consort Shen is very pitiful. Speaking of which, he and the Princess Regent are from the same clan. I heard that when Princess Jiahe beat him yesterday, it was because he had the same surname as the Princess Regent. Angry for no reason..."
Princess Pingyao looked at him sideways: "I can't tell, but you are quite compassionate."
Qin Yumo didn't know if this sentence was sarcastic, so he remained silent and explained: "Consort Shen is a talented person. In order to get rid of the control of his father and brother at home, he has been studying hard these years. He originally wanted to get a reputation and enter an official career. I didn’t expect to be favored by Princess Jiahe…”
"What about you?" Princess Pingyao suddenly asked.
"Me?" Qin Yumo raised his head in confusion, "Me what?"
Pingyao's tone was calm: "Do you also hate this princess for bringing you in?"
Qin Yumo shook his head slowly: "I am different from Consort Shen."
"What's the difference?"
Qin Yumo lowered his eyes: "Even if I am admitted to the official career, I can't escape the control of my family. Instead, the eldest princess gave me privileges so that I no longer have to be suppressed by my aunt. I am very grateful to Your Highness."
Consort Shen's father is only a fifth-rank official. It is not difficult to surpass him. Even if he cannot be surpassed for the time being, with Shen's extraordinary talent, as long as he has the opportunity to become an official, he will be the only person in the family who can win glory. In the future, his status will become no the same.
However, once he was favored by Princess Jiahe, not only did he completely cut off his hopes of becoming an official, but he was also often whipped and abused by Princess Jiahe. Shen's consort's life was really miserable.
But Qin Yumo is different.
Uncle Qin is the elder brother of the current Queen Mother. The Qin family is already at the top among the royal relatives. How far can Qin Yumo go to surpass them?
Unless the power is in the hands of both the government and the opposition, the real power remains.
But Qin Yumo knew how capable he was, and he couldn't do it at all. Instead, he became the eldest princess's consort, so that he no longer had to look at the family's face.
"So what you mean is that not only do you not hate me, but you are actually grateful to me?" Princess Pingyao raised her eyebrows and curved her lips with a hint of joy, "You know how to please me."
Qin Yumo lowered his eyes, trying to say that he didn't mean to please her.
What he said was true.
"If you really pity him, you might as well do something for him." The eldest princess of Pingyao was lying on the couch, crossing her long legs on his lap, "Give me a squeeze."
Qin Yumo was about to ask her what he could do, but when he saw this, he had to pinch her legs first, and then asked: "What do you think I can do, Your Highness?"
"You can hold some poetry gatherings at the eldest princess's mansion, and invite the young masters you think are outstanding to come and participate." Princess Pingyao said, "In this way, you can also kill time yourself, and it will also give Prince Consort Shen plenty of time. Isn’t it better to go out and relax than to stay in that house all day?”
Qin Yumo frowned: "But this is not a long-term solution after all."
"People will get sick if they are depressed for a long time. Things must be solved step by step. Don't expect to become fat in one bite."
Qin Yumo hummed: "What if Princess Jiahe doesn't allow him to go out?"
The eldest princess of Pingyao sneered: "Who dares not to come to the post sent by my consort?"
Qin Yumo was slightly stunned. This was not the first time he saw such a strong and domineering eldest princess, but this time he felt different from every time before.
Qin Yumo lowered his head and beat her leg, and couldn't help but ask: "Why is Your Highness so nice to me?"
"I think you are pleasing to the eye for the time being." Princess Pingyao said calmly, "When I like someone, I will treat him well, but when I fall in love with him, I will never be merciful."
As she said that, she snorted coldly: "That Ling Fengyang in prison is the best example. Qin Yumo, don't follow in his footsteps."
Qin Yumo quickly raised his hands and swore: "I won't do it. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
