Although he didn't want to get along with Cao Muxue, but after all, he was ashamed of his two children, so Yu Cheng still compromised.
"Let's go." Yu Cheng took the two children and went to Cao Muxue's courtyard.
The two children were very happy, with smiles on their faces.
"Hmph!" Cao Muxue, who successfully snatched the person away, gave Xie Wanruo a vicious look and walked away proudly.
A principal concubine came to the side concubine's courtyard and used children as a weapon to rob people. Xie Wanruo didn't understand what Cao Muxue was so proud of.
Yu Cheng stayed with the two children for half a day, put them to sleep at night, and then got up and left.
"Cousin." Seeing that Yu Cheng had no intention of staying the night, Cao Muxue took Yu Cheng's hand and spoke with hope.
With great difficulty, she snatched the man away and kept him until nightfall. If Yu Chengruo leaves now, wouldn't she become a joke?
Yu Cheng withdrew his hand, frowned and said, "It's late at night, go to bed early."
"It's late at night, I'll wait for my cousin to rest." Cao Muxue reached out to pull Yu Cheng again.
Yu Cheng turned away slightly, pinched his eyebrows and said, "I'm very tired. I'll come back in a few days."
It will be the first day of the Lunar New Year in a few days, and the palace rules.
When Cao Muxue heard this, she didn't feel happy, but felt extremely humiliated.
"Cousin, I am your princess, why don't you give me any face?" Cao Muxue asked unwillingly.
Facing her repeated pestering, Yu Cheng said impatiently: "When you went to Wanruo Courtyard to cause trouble in the afternoon, did you ever think about her face?"
"Muxue, you are not the only one who needs face."
Cao Muxue said angrily: "She is a concubine, and you live in her courtyard almost every day. Isn't she shameless enough?"
"Cousin, look at me, I am your wife, can't you give me half of your love?"
At the end, Cao Muxue's voice was full of grievances and complaints, as well as a hint of prayer.
Yu Cheng was unmoved and reminded him coldly: "Before you entered the palace, I told you that I would not love you. It was you who insisted on entering the palace. Do you still remember what you said?"
When the Cao family and the queen forced Yu Cheng to marry Cao Muxue, he had talked to Cao Muxue, hoping that Cao Muxue would come forward to stop the marriage.
But Cao Muxue said that she had admired him since she was a child, and as long as she could be by his side, she would not fight for anything.
Recalling what she said back then, Cao Muxue's face turned pale, her face full of anger and resentment.
Those were just words of expediency on her part, how could they be taken seriously?
She thought that as long as she married Yu Cheng and gave birth to a child for him, coupled with the friendship between the two of them as cousins, feelings would gradually develop, and there would always be a place for her in Yu Cheng's heart.
But after so many years, Yu Cheng's heart was like a stone, and she couldn't pry it in even though she tried her best.
Not only that, the friendship between the two of them as cousins has also been worn away over the years.
In Yu Cheng's heart, there is only that bitch Xie Wanruo!
"What's the point of complaining if you seek benevolence and get benevolence?" Leaving these words behind, Yu Cheng turned around and left without looking back.
Cao Muxue looked at Yu Cheng's ruthless back and had an idea in her mind.
She wants to kill Xie Wanruo!
What she can’t get, no one can get!
In the stillness of the night, a light is like a bean.
Xie Wanruo was about to go to bed and rest when she heard the door open. She turned around and saw Yu Cheng walking in.
"Your Highness." Xie Wanruo was slightly surprised.
It was so late, she thought Yu Cheng would not come back.
Yu Cheng looked at Xie Wanruo who was wearing thin pajamas, walked closer and smelled the fragrance of her body after bathing, and said tiredly: "I want to take a bath."
I played with my two children in the afternoon and broke out in a thin sweat again.
Xie Wanruo hurriedly went to the closet to take out Yu Cheng's pajamas and went into the bathroom to wait for him to wash himself.
After cleaning, Yu Cheng lay on the bed, hugged Xie Wanruo and fell asleep contentedly.
After working in Duanzhou from dawn to dusk for more than two months, he was indeed exhausted.
After resting for two days, Yu Cheng took Xie Wanruo and Yu Haolin out of the palace and went to Mochou Lake in Nancheng.
When Cao Muxue learned about it, she smashed the tea set on the table in anger.
The weather today is half cloudy and half clear, with moderate sun and light wind, which is perfect for traveling.
Mochou Lake is the largest lotus lake in Shangjing. It is famous for its lotus scenery in summer and is reserved for high-ranking dignitaries to visit.
Yu Cheng asked people to clear the place, and there were only three of them today.
Yu Haolin ran happily in front, while Yu Cheng held Xie Wanruo's hand and strolled behind, feeling comfortable.
"After so many years, the lotus flowers in Mochou Lake are still as beautiful as ever." Xie Wanruo said with emotion.
Yu Cheng stared at her side face and said, "Same for you."
Xie Wanruo tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ears and said with a hint of shyness, "Your Highness, please stop teasing me. Haolindu is so old, how can I compare with what I was back then?"
Yu Chengdao: "You used to be in bud, but now you are in full bloom. In my eyes, you are both extremely beautiful."
"But no matter how good your appearance is, one day it will eventually fade away. By then..." Xie Wanruo was interrupted by Yu Cheng before she could finish her sentence.
Yu Cheng paused, looked at her and said solemnly every word: "Like someone may start with appearance, but loving someone must be loyal to the inner nature."
"Wanruo, I love you."
These three words fell into Xie Wanruo's ears unexpectedly, and her heart trembled when she heard them.
Her beautiful eyes met Yu Cheng's affectionate eyes, and Xie Wanruo's heart surged and she couldn't help but say, "I love you too."
After receiving a response, Yu Cheng curved his lips, leaned over and kissed Xie Wanruo's forehead.
He was content to be happy with her in this life.
Xie Wanruo stared at Yu Cheng, thought for a long time and said, "Your Highness, if I lied to you and did something that made you sad, will you forgive me?"
Yu Cheng was startled when he heard this, and said firmly: "You will not lie to me, nor will you do anything to make me sad."
Xie Wanruo frowned: "What if?"
Seeing how persistent she was, Yu Cheng thought for a while and said, "Then I will also forgive you."
"Can you forgive me no matter what?" Xie Wanruo asked.
Yu Cheng nodded and said apologetically: "I have made you suffer so much injustice over the years. If I want to forgive you, I should beg you to forgive me."
Xie Wanruo said gently: "I don't blame Your Highness."
Although Yu Cheng was a little weaker, he always treated her and Yu Haolin very well. Moreover, she chose him unswervingly in the first place because of his kindness and his unwillingness to give up on her.
Everything has two sides, and no one can be perfect. What Yu Cheng couldn't do was left to her.
It was almost noon when the three of them finished swimming in Mochou Lake. Instead of returning to the palace immediately, they went to Xie's Mansion.
Speaking of which, Xie Wanruoji hasn't returned to her parents' home for a long time.
Once entering the palace, the gate is as deep as the sea. Cao Muxue, a principal concubine, cannot leave the palace at will, let alone a concubine like her.
"Father, mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law, I'm back." As soon as she saw her family, Xie Wanruo's eyes immediately filled with tears.
The Xie family learned that Xie Wanruo was returning to her parents' home today, and the whole family was waiting to welcome her.
"Wanruo." Mrs. Xie grabbed Xie Wanruo's hand, her eyes red.
If it weren't for Yu Chengzai, she would have wanted her mother and daughter to hug each other and cry bitterly.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty, please." After seeing the ceremony, Prime Minister Xie invited Yu Cheng and Xie Wanruo to come into the hall and take a seat.
"Haolin, come here and let grandma have a good look." Mrs. Xie waved to Yu Haolin, with a rare tightness.
The family sat together and talked softly, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
