Side princess consort
Seeing this!
"Princess, are you alright?" Cailan was so anxious that her face was pale. She quickly found some medicine and wrapped it up for her.
There wasn't much blood on that finger, so he had to endure it.
But —
However, Ji Muqing had an idea.
She pulled on Cailan and said, "Hurry and tell His Highness about this consort's injury."
"Ah …"
Wouldn't it be too much of a fuss to alarm the Prince with such a small injury?
"What 'ah'? Can't you see that this consort's injuries are very serious? Hurry up and go. "
Cailan had been by her side for so many years. She could tell at a glance what Gu Xijiu was talking about and naturally understood what she meant.
Furthermore, as a little girl, how could she dare to speak out of turn!
Then, Ji Muqing whispered a few words into her ear.
Cailan's face turned green, but she had no choice but to rush off to find Prince Yi.
As luck would have it, Prince Yi was playing chess with Chen Xiang.
Jing Yi's black stone fell!
Another game of Go was over.
Chen Xiang pouted and said, "Aiya, this concubine has lost again. Can't Your Highness give way to this concubine?"
Jing Yi said, "Playing chess is like fighting a war. There's no such thing as giving way."
These words were very familiar. Jing Rong and Mo Ruo had said the same thing when they were playing chess.
Chen Xiang was indignant. She picked up the chess pieces one by one and said, "This won't do. This concubine isn't satisfied. Let's play another round."
"Alright, let's have another round."
It was clear that Jing Yi spoiled this princess consort very much.
Just as the two of them were about to continue, Cailan arrived from outside. "Your Highness, bad news."
His voice was very urgent.
Because of this, the two's interest in playing chess was interrupted.
Knowing that she was Ji Muqing's personal maid, Jing Yi's brows furrowed in disdain.
As long as it was related to Ji Muqing, Jing Yi would feel disgusted. In fact, he even hated himself. He always felt that if he lowered his head, he could smell the stench of feces.
Seeing that Jing Yi did not reply for a long time, Chen Xiang said, "Your Highness, the consort's maid is outside."
Remind him.
He snorted.
Only then did he nod his head towards the outside.
Cailan hurried in and shouted again, "Your Highness, bad news!"
"What happened? What a surprise. "
"Princess Consort is injured."
"Oh?"
Gone?
Just an 'oh'?
Cailan hurriedly added, "The Consort was in a hurry to see His Highness, wanting to pay her respects to His Highness. She didn't know that she was in such a hurry that she tripped."
"I'm not a doctor, nor am I an imperial physician in the palace. What's the use of telling me about a fall?"
Puchi —
On the other side, Chen Xiang laughed.
Then she quickly stopped smiling and revealed a look of concern. "Wangye, my sister fell because she came to see you. You should go see her."
"Are you very concerned?"
"She is my younger sister. She has just arrived at the Prince's Mansion and is not familiar with the place. Of course, I have to care about her."
"That's good. Then you go on my behalf and take good care of the Princess."
There was a deeper meaning in his tone.
Chen Xiang naturally wouldn't miss out on such a good opportunity. She stood up, bowed, and said, "Yes, this servant will head over now."
Jing Yi's brows furrowed imperceptibly as he waved his hand. "Go."
And so, Ji Muqing's wishful thinking failed.
She had originally wanted Jing Yi to see her, but now it was Chen Xiang.
On the way over, Chen Xiang had her personal maid call for a physician, then suddenly pulled Cailan aside.
"You're called Cailan?"
Cailan looked at her own hand in Chen Xiang's and couldn't help but shiver, but she still allowed Chen Xiang to hold it.
She nodded. "Yes, this servant is called Cailan."
"You're so pretty!"
"Thank you, Side Consort."
Chen Xiang felt a little uncomfortable at being called 'Side Consort', but she didn't show it. Instead, she held Cailan's trembling hand even more intimately.
She smiled and asked gently, "Have you been by the Princess Consort's side since you were young?"
"Yes."
"It's such a pity that such a beautiful girl has become someone's maid."
"It's a great honor to be able to serve the Princess Consort."
"You really know how to talk." Chen Xiang sighed again. "This consort likes you very much, and you're very obedient. I really want to pull you to my side, but it's a pity that the Princess Consort is still a little more fortunate to have such a satisfactory maid like you to serve her, unlike the ones in this consort's courtyard who only know how to eat and drink. They're not sensible at all."
She then patted the back of Cailan's hand lightly a few times.
Cailan's entire body trembled a few times.
"Are you very afraid?"
"No."
"You don't have to be afraid, this consort won't eat you up. Actually, if you're willing, you can come find this consort at any time. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. If I can help you, this consort will definitely."
Cailan could hear that Chen Xiang's tone was very gentle, and the wariness in her heart disappeared. A smile crept up the corners of her lips. "Thank you, Side Consort."
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiang suddenly said to her, "It's just that this consort doesn't like the title of Side Consort. It would be best if it could be shortened by one word."
Cailan immediately understood and called out, "Consort."
Although she called out cautiously, it came from the bottom of her heart.
Chen Xiang was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
Cailan also hoped that she could quickly change her master. If she stayed by Ji Muqing's side, she would be beaten to death sooner or later. The scene of her being slapped the last time was still fresh in her mind.
Every time she thought about it, she would wake up in the middle of the night, covered in cold sweat.
However, this side consort with a gentle voice in front of her liked her very much. If she could stay by this master's side, she would definitely be able to enjoy a good life.
The two of them chatted softly along the way until they arrived at Ji Muqing's courtyard.
The moment they entered the room, they saw someone lying on the bed.
Come to think of it, she really had a bad fall!
However, when Ji Muqing opened her eyes and saw that the person wasn't Jing Yi, but Chen Xiang, she abruptly sat up on the bed.
That was pretty exciting.
Chen Xiang sat by the bed and asked curiously, "Didn't they say that Younger Sister had a bad fall? How can she still sit up? It doesn't look like it's that serious. "
Ji Muqing glared at her fiercely, then turned to question Cailan, "Where's His Highness?"
"His Highness, he …"
Before she could finish, Chen Xiang interrupted, "His Highness played quite a few rounds of chess with me just now, so he's a little tired and can't come to see Younger Sister. However, he told me to come over and greet you."
"Who needs your greeting? Go away."
"Why is Younger Sister so angry? His Highness is also very concerned about you."
Ji Muqing harrumphed, "Don't think that I don't know that you're just putting on an act. Stop acting in front of me."
He tried to push her.
However, before his hand could touch her, Chen Xiang grabbed it and pushed him back harshly.
Ji Muqing's head almost hit the bedpost behind her.
Chen Xiang frowned and hurriedly said, "Aiya, I didn't do it on purpose. Younger Sister, are you alright?"
This push pushed all of Ji Muqing's anger out. She gritted her teeth and shouted fiercely, "Chen Xiang, I'm His Highness's legitimate consort. You're just a side consort. What right do you have to bully me?"
"Bully?" Chen Xiang looked extremely shocked. "What are you talking about, Younger Sister? His Highness can't come over because he's too tired, so he sent me over to see you. How can you say that? You and I are both His Highness's people, so we should live in harmony. I also treat you like my own younger sister. "
