Sure enough, the gunfire was aimed at me.
But I didn't do anything! Which of her eyes saw me being reckless?
I looked to Qin Yunhao for help, and he indeed spoke up.
"Qin Consort is like the master of the palace; how it is at home should be how it is now. Mother need not be too harsh."
His words were quite blunt, and his voice had grown colder, clearly angry.
Old Madam paused and angrily said, "How are you speaking to me? I am your mother!"
"Mother is unwell and needs to rest."
Qin Yunhao coldly replied, directly silencing Old Madam.
I was held by Qin Yunhao as we left Serenity Courtyard, too scared to look back at Old Madam. I was terrified.
Is he really protecting me?
It felt more like he was harming me.
On the way back to the manor, I couldn't help but wonder who Qin Yunhao really was.
He referred to himself as This King, yet he was so indifferent to his biological mother; it didn't seem like a typical mother-son relationship.
After leaving Serenity Courtyard, the prince held me tightly as we headed straight for Linchun Pavilion.
As soon as we entered, he reached out and embraced me.
I was a bit dazed and didn't dare to move.
"Your Highness?"
"This King is in a bad mood."
Oh, so he wants a shoulder to lean on?
"Your Highness, how about I tell you a story to lighten the mood?"
"Oh? Then tell This King." The prince's tone carried a hint of curiosity, and his cold demeanor seemed to soften slightly.
I cleared my throat.
"Your Highness, do you know that beyond our world, there exists a vast starry sky?"
My voice was soft, carrying a hint of mystery.
He turned around, his brow slightly raised, clearly intrigued by my topic. "Starry sky? What is that?"
"It is an endless universe. At night, when we look up, we can see those twinkling points of light; they are distant stars, each with its own unique story," I said slowly, my eyes sparkling with longing for the stars.
"For example, there are a pair of stars that are far apart yet always shine together. People call them the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl." I began to tell this ancient love story. "Though they are separated by the merciless Milky Way, every year on the Qixi Festival night, countless magpies form a bridge to allow them to meet."
The prince listened quietly, his gaze gradually softening. "Even though they are far apart, they still love each other?"
I nodded. "Yes, their love transcends the limits of time and space, becoming eternal."
The prince fell silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought, then softly said, "In this King's heart, there is also a starry sky; it just seems to have never been so bright."
I smiled gently. "Your Highness, every star has the right to shine; your heart does too."
He turned to look at me, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "Consort Shen, your story is very beautiful."
The prince walked to the window and opened it, allowing moonlight to pour into the room. "Tonight, this King's heart seems to have lit up a star."
I felt warmth in my heart, knowing that this simple and heartwarming story had ignited a spark of light within the prince.
A jolt ran through me; it shouldn't be what I thought!
Then I realized that I originally told this story to increase my standing with him. Yes, that's it...
The enigmatic self-affirmation seems to conceal the slight tremors of emotion within me. Ever since that day, I have completely become the Prince's Favorite.
