The concubine is soft and charming, and the prince is willing to seduce her

Chapter 75 The Prince Lies to the Cat
Nan Zhiyu knows that jealousy is a sign of care for a man.

A little jealousy can soothe one’s mood, but too much jealousy can hurt others and yourself.

Nan Zhiyu fell into his arms and complained, "Your Highness only knows how to laugh at others."

Wei Qingye raised his hand and held her slender waist, caressing it with his large palm, and said with a smile: "You little jealous girl."

"Your Highness, don't you like it?"

There were guards following outside, and the hand fell on her lower back, wandering around wantonly.

Nan Zhiyu was afraid that what happened last time in the sedan would happen again, so she bit her lips tightly to prevent anyone outside from hearing any noise.

The sedan stopped in front of the Chongming Palace. Nan Zhiyu got off the sedan and followed the Crown Prince obediently, not knowing what she was thinking with her head down.

Her head hit the prince's back straight on, causing her to scream in pain.

Wei Qingye heard the noise and turned to look at her, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy.

The glass eyes are misty, and the eyes are moving silently and seductively.

"Nan Jiaojiao, I still have many memorials to review, so please don't flirt with me so blatantly."

Nan Zhiyu looked innocent, "Your Highness, what are you talking about?"

What on earth is going through the Crown Prince's mind in broad daylight?

At this moment, Chai Hui came in with a food box and said respectfully, "Your Highness, this is from Miss Lian Yue, who said that Yue Zhaoxun did not take his medicine this morning."

Nan Zhiyu cast a dissatisfied look at the food box. Is it necessary to be so conscientious?
She thought that if she followed Sister Mu this morning, she would not have to take medicine anymore, but who knew that the bad girl Lian Yue would be sent directly to Chongming Palace!

When Wei Qingye learned that she hadn't taken the medicine yet, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, and said coldly: "Why don't you send it to Yue Zhaoxun quickly!?"

There was a food box on the yellow pear wood low table. When it was opened, the white porcelain soup bowl inside was still steaming.

Nan Zhiyu sat in front of the low table, staring at the pitch-black medicine bowl in front of her, and a bitter taste rose in her mouth.

Chai Hui held up a small dish of preserved fruit and said, "Yue Zhaoxun, drink it while it's hot!"

Nan Zhiyu held the medicine bowl and, under the Crown Prince's compelling gaze, closed her eyes and drank it all.

"Yue Zhaoxun, eat some preserved fruit quickly to suppress the bitterness in your mouth." Seeing that her little face was wrinkled, Chai Hui quickly pushed the preserved fruit forward.

Nan Zhiyu ate three in one go, and the expression on her face looked better.

She had nothing to do sitting there, so she simply ran to the Crown Prince, tugged at his sleeve and said coquettishly, "Your Highness, why don't you see Snowball today?"

Wei Qingye put down the brush in his hand, turned his head and looked at her and said, "Because I am with you today, there is no need for Snowball to come and occupy your sight."

Nan Zhiyu snorted twice, "Your Highness, are you destroying your bridges after crossing the river?"

Wei Qingye continued to review the memorials, and said with his thin lips slightly opened, "No, it's just a trick at best."

Suddenly, Chai Hui's voice came from outside the door, "Your Highness, the head of the Ministry of Works, Lord Ming, is outside asking to see you."

Nan Zhiyu turned around and began to look for a place to hide, "Your Highness, I will go to the inner room for a while."

Wei Qingye grabbed her arm and pulled her back, "What's there to panic about?"

If the Crown Prince were seen by outsiders reviewing memorials with a beautiful lady by his side, I'm afraid many officials would come to see him tomorrow to make statements.

She was the first to bear the brunt and became the first concubine in the Eastern Palace to be impeached by the censors.

The palace door was opened and footsteps were heard. Nan Zhiyu quickly crouched and hid under the imperial desk where His Highness was reviewing memorials.

"Your humble servant, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Ming Zhiyuan knelt on the ground and saluted. "Get up." Wei Qingye glanced at him, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip, "Why do you come to see me at this time?"

Ming Zhiyuan didn't expect that the prince would be so straightforward even in private.

Controlling the flood in Jiangzhou City can be regarded as a signal that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values their Ming family. They must handle this matter properly without any mistakes.

It’s a pity...man proposes, God disposes!

He knelt on the ground, frowned, and told the truth, "Your Highness, I led the people of Jiangzhou City to dig ditches and drain water according to the countermeasures discussed by Your Highness and the Ministry of Works.

Although the flood problem has been solved, Jiangzhou City is still hit by continuous waterlogging and there is no harvest of grain. The people are waiting for relief food from the court to survive.

The Ministry of Revenue has been slow to issue the money, and I am at a loss as to what to do!"

Wei Qingye immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, "The treasury has no money?"

If you have money, why would you delay doing things?
Ming Zhiyuan bowed his head and said nothing. This matter was not something that a small official like him could solve. However, if he did not report this matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he and the entire Ming family would not have a good ending after the truth was revealed.

Since the Minister of Revenue has been making excuses and refusing to distribute relief grain, don't blame him for making trouble in front of the Crown Prince.

The current emperor is devoted to self-cultivation and does not care about state affairs. All state affairs, big or small, are managed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But as long as the ruler of the world is not decided, there will be immeasurable variables.

Over the years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been constrained by the aristocratic families in the court. The Ming family has no roots in Jingzhou City and can be regarded as the Crown Prince's most effective weapon.

If not, how could his sister sleep peacefully in the palace?
To control the overall situation of the world, the Ministry of Revenue must be in one's own hands.

The current Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhang Yuan, is a man of Prime Minister Nan.

Over the years, Prime Minister Nan has relied on his status as a senior official of two dynasties to cause trouble for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Ten days later, I will definitely take out the disaster relief money and will not ignore the lives of the people in Jiangzhou City."

After Ming Zhiyuan left, the prince sat there motionless. Nan Zhiyu quietly popped her head out and said, "Your Highness is worried about the money for disaster relief. I have a lot of gifts from Your Highness. Why not take them all..."

Before she could finish her words, Nan Zhiyu was pulled out from under the table by the Crown Prince and held tightly in his arms.

Nan Zhiyu didn’t quite understand the Crown Prince’s mood at the moment, but she thought that the empty treasury was enough to make people worried.

Nan Zhiyu was hugged quite tightly, twisting her body from time to time.

"Nan Jiaojiao, if you move again, believe it or not, I will kill you right here." A warning voice rang in her ears, followed by two slaps on her buttocks.

The little girl instantly became as obedient as a quail in the prince's arms.

Wei Qingye leaned back in his chair and said to her, "Even if the treasury is empty, there is no need to use the reward I gave you to fill the void."

Nan Zhiyu didn’t understand. If this could solve the immediate problem, why not?
Nan Zhiyu was secretly delighted. How could she be willing to donate the gold and silver jewelry she had obtained? She was just being polite just now.

His Highness was just as she thought and would never set his sights on this.

She and her little treasury are finally safe!

But then again, if His Highness really wants it, she is not against giving it to him, she just would feel a little bit distressed.
