Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

"Xiaoxue is crying!" In a remote courtyard in the south of the city, Baimian told Jun Li all the details of what happened in Prince Gong's Mansion.

When Jun Li heard the news that Jiang Xue ran out of the study crying, he smiled with satisfaction.

"It seems that the money given to the Zhou family was not wasted." These days, he has given a lot of money to those nobles just to gain a stable foothold in Beiling. Of course, he also promised them a lot of benefits.

"Those old foxes, they took your money while relying on the power of Prince Gong's Mansion to gain benefits, they are so cunning." Mo Xue sat on the table, swinging her long legs leisurely in the air, with a look of disdain on her face when she spoke of those noble patriarchs.

"As long as they can achieve my goal, it doesn't matter what they do. Now that Zhou has become the concubine of Prince Gong's Mansion, I'm sure she can get more information from Xiao Zhan. And with her cunning and pretentious personality, I believe Xiaoxue will soon give up on Xiao Zhan completely." Jun Li said.

A few days later, the news that Xiao Zhan personally brought Zhou into the palace to modify the jade disc spread throughout Yujing City.

Moreover, on the second day after Zhou was named concubine, the two illegitimate sons of the Zhou clan leader were transferred to serve in the Shaofu.

The power of the Zhou family suddenly reached an unprecedented peak.

"Your Highness, why did you transfer those two playboys into the Shaofu? That is a place dedicated to serving the emperor. If they cause any trouble, how can the emperor let you off easily?" After Ye Rongxiu learned about this, he stopped Xiao Zhan outside the hall.

“Master Ye, those two people were not recommended by Yun Che.” Xiao Zhan said.

"Not you?"

"Well, it's not me. I only recommend talented people from poor families. But you know that the emperor never likes me. He will definitely do the opposite of what I recommend. Look, the young master of the Zhou family was chosen by him."

This was exactly what he had planned. He wanted Emperor Beiling to choose those two playboys.

After all, the job of Shaofu means that one has to accompany the emperor at all times, which is like living with a tiger. How could one really place such a scholar next to an emperor whose moods are so capricious?

When Ye Rongxiu heard this, he thought about it for a moment and immediately understood Xiao Zhan's plan.

"Your Highness wants to use the Emperor's hand to clip the wings of the Zhou family?"

Recently, the news that the daughter of the Zhou family was the only one favored by Prince Gong was widely spread in Yujing City, and the status of the Zhou family soared. Many people were jealous. Especially those other nobles of the same status as him, their eyes were full of jealousy.

I heard that the other four noble families were extremely unbalanced because the Zhou family was the only dominant family, and they were planning to join forces to deal with the Zhou family.

The original alliance of the five noble families began to crumble as soon as the imperial edict was issued this morning. The Zhou family has now become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the other four families.

These days, because Princess Gong has become the focus of public opinion twice, he has been particularly concerned about the affairs of Prince Gong's Mansion.

With his many years of experience in judging people, he naturally knew that the slander against Jiang Xue was pure nonsense and that someone was obviously behind it.

A while ago, the Zhou family took frequent actions, trying to win over the other four noble families and jointly put pressure on Prince Gong's Mansion.

They thought they had done it perfectly, but little did they know that anyone who was not blind could see the trick.

At first, he was worried that his apprentice would really be led by the nose, but now it seems that this kid's wisdom and means far exceeded his expectations.

"Master Ye really understands his disciple's thoughts." This sentence indirectly answered Ye Rongxiu's question.

"Alas, your chess game is really powerful." Ye Rongxiu took a deep breath: "But, if you do this, does the princess know?"

He really liked the clever and smart Jiang Xue. She and Yun Che were a perfect match. He didn't want her to get hurt in this chess game.

Xiao Zhan smiled bitterly and did not give a direct answer.

Because of Liuli's death, Xiaoxue is now extremely cold to him and rarely communicates with him. He can't find a chance to explain everything to her. But she is very smart and should be able to guess the real layout of this chess game.

At this moment, in Prince Gong's Mansion, Concubine Zhou held a party in her new courtyard. It was so lively that she completely ignored the fact that Jiang Xue was taking a nice nap not far away. You see, Concubine Zhou was just like having a private party.

"The Concubine has arrived."

Madam Cheng took the lead and gave Concubine Zhou a standard 90-degree bow. When the other three ladies saw this, they had no choice but to follow suit and bowed their heads in unison.

Concubine Zhou looked at the black heads in front of her and felt so happy, especially when she saw the four ladies who used to be on an equal footing with her now had to kneel before her. Her sense of superiority increased.

"Everyone, get up. We don't care about those red tapes here. We are all good sisters. There is no need to be so polite." Concubine Zhou's voice was as loud as an opera, and she was afraid that Jiang Xue next door couldn't hear it.

"Oh, the concubine is truly a lady from a noble family. Her bearing and demeanor are much better than those of some savage girls." As soon as Mrs. Cheng got up, she began to flatter Concubine Zhou, and threw stones at Jiang Xue in her words.

"That's right. Sister Zhou, you were given the title of concubine, but the mistress of the house didn't even show up. It's so disrespectful." Madam Wei also joined in the fun. She was usually overwhelmed by Jiang Xue's aura and couldn't raise her head. This time she got the chance and it was quite satisfying to stab her in the back.

"Don't say that, everyone. The princess has encountered two things recently, and her mood must be affected. It is understandable that she didn't come to see me. I believe she is not a petty person." These words sounded polite, but coming from the mouths of a few gossipers, the irony was strong.

In these two incidents, which one did they not get involved in? Now Zhou can say this openly, which shows how thick-skinned she is.

"My Lady Concubine, you are so kind-hearted. But I feel that your kindness will only make some people take advantage of you. The princess just made her a concubine, but she didn't even celebrate. Isn't this a clear lack of respect?

If this gets out, where will you save your face? How can we, daughters of famous families, bear this humiliation? If the old man of the Zhou family knew about it, he would be heartbroken. "Mrs. Cheng volunteered to go to Jiang Xue in person and invite her to support Zhou.

Concubine Zhou said no, but her body was honest. Following Madam Cheng's words, she led a group of ladies and headed towards Jiang Xue's yard.

Since Liuli was gone, there was no one guarding Jiang Xue's yard. Concubine Zhou and her group broke in easily, crowding the entire yard. Even the herbs drying on the stone table were squeezed into pieces.

When Fu Dong saw the scene, he was so angry that a group of rabble had woken up his princess's nap that he threw two stones and hit the two troublemakers accurately.
