This girl is really tenacious.
/p
I saw the Prince's eyes turn cold at a speed visible to the naked eye. If he took off that mask, I'm afraid the word 'disgust' was clearly written all over his face. Speaking of which, I also quite understand. Thinking about Prince Yue's status, what he wants is a wife and concubine who is like a little bird and does not have any schemes. He does not want a woman who wants to stir up trouble all day long and can't be at peace.
/p
Prince Yue coldly snorted and was about to speak, but I quickly stopped him, "Your Highness, don't rush to drive people away. Listen to me."
/p
"You and I don't need to stand on ceremony. Just say it."
/p
I said, "On the day of our return, I went out to make some discreet inquiries. I overheard the conversation between the eldest madam and this meimei of mine. The eldest madam confided in her heart. Her words implied that she wanted this Ce Fei to act as a spy in the mansion and pass on information to the eldest madam. But what does the Eldest Madam want to know about the private affairs of the residence? In any case, it's just because of our relationship that he wants to use a strategy to sow discord. Your Highness, you might as well let her in. On the surface, we are affectionate, but she is also jealous. In the end, she will panic and make a mistake. She can also find fault with the Tang Family. "
/p
Prince Yue said, "The Tang Family has a lot of faults. It's not worthwhile to use a woman's family as an example."
/p
I said, "Your Highness is benevolent, but Your Highness should also clearly see His Majesty's attitude. His Majesty clearly wants to protect the Tang family, and the Tang family is also your in-laws' family. Can Your Highness go straight to the pole and present the evidence of your crimes to His Majesty? Even if you topple the Tang family, your reputation will be tarnished. Everyone in the capital will talk at once. They will say that Prince Yue just married two young ladies from the Tang family's Prime Minister's Office on the street. Then, he sent a memorial to seize their family. If this news spreads, it will be difficult for Your Highness to become an official in the future. "
/p
These days, everyone's reputation was still very important. How could they be as shameless as the Tang family?
/p
But if a Consort Xian had made a mistake, it would be easier to talk about it. Since it was a matter of course, everyone would talk about it.
/p
I continued, "Moreover, Your Highness has not solved the Profound Sky Bead case, and now you have the crime of snatching someone else's bride on the street. Although His Majesty did not say anything, I'm sure that Your Highness is angry at Your Highness in his heart. Your Highness, do you still remember the Sun Family that Consort Xian had a marriage alliance? "
/p
"I do. My entire family was wiped out, and it involved a secret technique of the non-human race."
/p
"You originally told me that His Majesty was counting on you to deal with these strange things. I was stung by an insect and fell into a coma for a few days. I don't know what's going on outside, but seeing that the prince hasn't come to court or work these days, it can be seen that the Sun family's case isn't something you can manage. His Majesty's move, I'm afraid that he has already distanced himself from the prince. "
/p
Although I said it was serious, Prince Yue didn't seem to take it to heart. His eyes curved, and his heart didn't feel heavy because of my judgment. Instead, he softly said to me, "Your Highness's mind is quite sharp, please continue speaking."
/p
"On the day of returning to the country, I heard the eldest madam talking to Consort Xian. In order to win her over, the eldest madam revealed some matters of the imperial court to her, and I happened to hear it. Your Highness, do you know that Tang Xiangguo wants to use the Sun family's case to make a big fuss? Because of the marriage alliance, Your Highness and the eldest son of the Sun family have a grudge. I don't know what method Tang Xiangguo will use to slander Your Highness. Your Highness, the Tang family is such a shameless family, we have to guard against them. "
/p
Prince Yue seemed to be moved by my words, and he said, "Then what do you want?"
/p
"Why don't Your Highness pretend to be close to Consort Xian, and let her be a double agent?"
/p
The corners of the prince's eyes flattened, and he decisively refused, "No, you want this prince to sell his body to curry favor with his concubine. What's the difference between this prince and the courtesans in the brothel?"
/p
I just wanted to persuade him again, but the Prince directly stopped me, "Regarding the Sun family's matter, although Imperial Father didn't hand this matter over to me, this Prince is upright and upright. Naturally, this Prince won't be afraid of being framed by villains. As for that Consort Xian, although this prince was forced to marry her, His Majesty gave her enough face by conferring her the title of concubine. This prince also gave her a courtyard to eat and drink well to treat her well. Now, Consort Xian didn't abide by the virtues of a woman, and secretly contacted her family to plot against this prince. This kind of evil woman, do you still want to use her? "
/p
This prince was too upright, and he didn't know how to be flexible. With a pale face, how could he understand the principle of being flexible? I was different. You can snatch the opponent's weapon from his hand, and after snatching it, you throw it away and don't use it? What kind of logic is this?
/p
I was angry, and said with a straight face, "Then what does the prince want to do?"
/p
"Have her go back, and never set foot in our courtyard again."
/p
I asked, "What if she insists on kneeling, and insists on seeing you?"
/p
She dared to send two maids to report to her. She kept on fighting despite being defeated. Concubine Xian was a determined and ruthless person. Although the prince had a ruthless face, he was actually a kind person. Even if he didn't have any feelings for Consort Xian, he would still take a step back because of her persistence.
/p
Prince Yue said, "I will deliberately do as you wish, and I can also ignore your little scheme, as long as you are happy. But there is only one thing, whether you want to play or make a fuss, you can't tire yourself out, and you can't know the tiger's den, but you can't recklessly charge in. If you really let yourself have the slightest mishap, I will imprison you in the mansion day and night, and never let you take a step out again! "
/p
What a frightening sentence!
/p
I stared at him, and he stared at me. In the end, I wasn't a resolute person, so I quickly lost and surrendered, "Fine, fine!"
/p
Only then did the prince loosen his mouth, "Let the concubine in."
/p
The maidservant waiting outside was also very competent. Even though she hadn't received a reply, she didn't dare to leave. She had been waiting at the door. Now that she heard a reply, I sighed in relief for her. Then, she hurried over to bring the person in.
/p
Consort Xian's servant girl opened the curtain, and Consort Xian bent down and entered with her head lowered. She had a gentle and delicate appearance, and at this moment, her hair was combed into a woman's bun, and a string of small and large pearls trembled next to her ears. Her cyan clothes didn't have many embroidery patterns, and overall, it was simple and elegant, looking very beautiful.
/p
I wasn't close to the people of the Tang family, and even had grudges. To tell the truth, I never treated the people of the Tang family as family. To me, this Consort Xian was just a stranger living under the same roof. We often met face to face, and nodded at each other.
/p
But now, I am Prince Yue's Wangfei. In this day and age, women have to rely on men to live. I don't think I am a strong woman like Zhe Tian Taiping. I don't like to defy the heavens and ascend to the top. I just want to live a peaceful life. But my maternal family didn't hesitate to scheme against me before I got married, and they also instigated a concubine in the Tang family.
/p
What was a concubine? It was a woman in the inner courtyard who was under the control of the Matriarch. The prince had just said that he disdained to deal with women in the imperial court, and didn't want to make an example of a woman. But if this woman caused trouble in the inner courtyard of the prince's household, wouldn't I have to deal with it?
/p
If this woman made a mistake and implicated the Tang family, it would be killing two birds with one stone. The internal and external troubles would be solved, and I only needed to borrow the prince's strength to add fuel to the fire. But who would have thought that this man was a proud person, and refused to use my method. Fine, I'll let her have a look in front of the prince, and see what kind of tricks she wants to play.
/p
Consort Xian had been quiet for the past ten days, and had been learning the rules in her courtyard. This time, she had come prepared. Looking at the rules, I couldn't find any fault with it. "This concubine pays respects to the prince and Wangfei."
/p
After saluting, she didn't dare to get up, and waited for the prince to speak.
/p
I smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for ten days, meimei has lost a lot of weight. Is the food in the manor not good enough, or did the servants not serve you well?"
/p
Consort Xian gently smiled and reminded: "Wangfei is too happy to see this concubine. The prince hasn't spoken yet, but Wangfei is worried about this concubine's body."
/p
I was surprised, and my smile deepened. I reached out and poked the prince, joking: "Concubine is complaining about the prince. Why hasn't the prince opened his mouth to coax the concubine?"
/p
The prince's sharp eyes were like knives, and he began to show concern for Consort Xian with a steely tone: "If there's nothing else, then leave!"
/p
Consort Xian's and my smile froze at the same time. I hurriedly opened my mouth to smooth things over: "The prince sees meimei's frail body, and wants meimei to go back and rest early. This prince's estate is too big, meimei must have had a hard time walking all the way here. "
/p
Consort Xian quickly wiped away the awkwardness on her face. It seemed that she had spent a lot of effort in the courtyard these past ten days. She smiled and said: "Prince, the wangfei has been unconscious for a few days. This concubine is a concubine, and has a sisterly relationship with the wangfei. Naturally, this concubine has to pay a visit and complete the formalities. If the prince drives this concubine out at this time, the gossiping servants outside will naturally say that the wangfei is jealous and only wants to be favored. Even if the prince gives face to the wangfei, you must allow this concubine to stay in this courtyard for a while. "
/p
Prince Yue's expression changed. A concubine dared to threaten him, and this threat was reasonable. I really did want a good reputation outside.
/p
"You're quite attentive," Prince Yue pointed to a chair and sent her far away, "Sit."
/p
"This concubine thanks the prince."
/p
Consort Xian sat sideways and raised her hand for her personal servant girl to bring up the gifts. I roughly glanced at them. They were just some precious medicinal herbs and tonics. Consort Xian smiled gently and said: "That day, the wangfei fainted at her maternal home, and everyone in the room panicked. The prince took pity on the wangfei and hurriedly got on the carriage to return to the fu. Da taitai had me stay behind. Lao taitai was also worried for a long time and ordered me to fill the carriage with tonics before letting me return. That wasn't all. During the ten days that the wangfei fainted, every day, she continuously sent things to the fu. Da taitai knelt in front of the ancestral hall for a long time to pray for the wangfei. "
/p
"This son and grandson are really unfilial, and made Lao taitai and Da taitai worry."
/p
Consort Xian hung her neck, revealing a section of bright and clean snow-white skin. She said: "The wangfei's body is weak and she doesn't know how to take care of herself. The weather in the seventh month is very sunny and poisonous, and she doesn't have a servant girl to serve her. Now that the wangfei has woken up, her body needs to slowly recover. This concubine came today to visit my jiejie and also to ask the prince for a reward. My maternal family is truly worried about the wangfei's body. Please allow this concubine to return and let them know that she is safe. "
