On the bed, I wrapped my arms around the prince's neck and initiated a kiss.
"Your Highness, about what you said last night, is it still valid?"
Last night, he promised me the position of Consort, just waiting for the approval from the Emperor for it to take effect.
With no one else vying for the position of Consort, once I became his Consort, I would be second only to him in the entire residence, allowing me to relax and enjoy life. Just thinking about it made me happy.
I whispered softly in the prince's ear, "Your Highness, with no one in the rear courtyard, are you not afraid..."
Before I could finish my sentence, the prince suddenly raised his head and looked at me seriously.
I felt uneasy under his gaze and couldn't help but ask, "What’s wrong?"
"The promise made yesterday was for Qin Consort, not for a Consort."
I... Consort.
"I am Qin Consort."
I smiled gently but couldn't help rolling my eyes internally.
This fool had forgotten again.
I've been in the residence for a year, and he still hasn't remembered my face.
How does someone with such a poor memory manage to conquer so many?
I couldn't help but question my life choices.
The next morning, I woke up in the prince's arms.
Looking at the sun hanging high outside the window, I couldn't help but lament how beauty can lead one astray.
It is said that my prince was once indifferent to women; however, ever since I crossed over, we have been entangled every night, causing delays in my plans to finish my painting book.
I self-deprecatingly thought that I had started slacking off even before getting promoted.
No, no, I can't indulge in this Consort life any longer.
I pushed against the prince's arm, but he remained completely still, sleeping soundly.
Frowning slightly, I realized it was time to use my trump card.
I bit the prince's lip, and he cooperatively sat up. He stared at me for a moment, not angry, but instead frowned and asked, "Which consort are you?"
I grinned, showing my teeth, "I am the only daughter of General Shen, currently residing with Consort."
He nodded, "Qin Consort."
Not bad, he is teachable. I couldn't help but roll my eyes internally; after serving you every day, it’s not like you would recognize me! And yet, I’m burdened with so much jealousy! It's truly exhausting.
I walked out of the courtyard, wanting to take a stroll in the Peach Blossom Garden to clear my mind. However, I unexpectedly saw the prince enjoying the flowers with Liu Shijie in the Peach Blossom Garden. Liu Shijie leaned against the prince, smiling brightly.
Anger surged within me as I quickened my pace towards them, but suddenly my rationality returned.
Wait, this isn’t how I should feel; it’s impossible to misunderstand just because I see this face every day, right?
Slowly regaining my composure, I slightly crouched and said, "This humble servant greets Your Highness."
"You are?"
The prince looked at me with a puzzled expression.
A pang of sadness welled up inside me. This Face-Blind Prince is indeed my husband; he doesn’t remember me at all.
Beside him, Liu Shijie covered her mouth and laughed, "Your Highness, this is Qin Consort; she was with you last night."
I glanced at her; her eyes were filled with mockery as if to say: See? The prince doesn’t remember you at all.
I almost laughed out loud. This Liu Shijie is so naive; does she really think the prince remembers who she is?
In the next moment, the prince's words wiped the smugness off Liu Shijie's face.
"Who are you again?"
I looked at Liu Shiqie, whose face turned pale in an instant, and I almost laughed out loud.
Liu Shiqie's expression soured; she had just been flirting with the prince, and now he didn't even recognize her.
The prince looked at her and asked, "Who are you?"
Liu Shiqie forced a smile, pulling at the corners of her mouth. "Your Highness, I am Liu Shiqie."
The prince nodded and ignored her, instead waving at me. "You, come here."
I obediently walked over and deliberately bumped into Liu Shiqie's shoulder as I passed by.
Liu Shiqie was furious but dared not say anything.
It's hilarious; she thought the prince was so familiar with her.
It turns out the prince doesn't recognize anyone.
Thinking this, I suddenly felt a sense of balance within me.
The prince didn't dislike me; he simply couldn't express his feelings.
I recalled the intimate moments from that evening and then looked at the prince's indifferent face now.
Suddenly, I understood something.
It seemed like he had never treated me with such an expression before!
