Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

"Sister, what are you talking about so happily?" The second prince suddenly came over from the hall, holding a wine jug. He had been watching these two people for a long time.

The second prince smiled amiably, but the fourth princess did not give him a good look.

"Nothing, second brother, just discussing whose family has been unlucky recently."

Xu Yixing narrowed her eyes. The Fourth Princess was too flamboyant. She felt that she would be betrayed sooner or later. However, this was also the reason for choosing her. So she moved her feet slightly and touched the Fourth Princess' calf. This scene was also captured by the Second Prince.

"Sister, you are a princess and you should have the dignity of a princess. Talking about others behind your back is not the manner of a royal family."

When Xu Yixing heard this, he always felt that the Second Prince was mocking him.

"Yes, brother, but you should go to other tables. Our table is full of female guests and they can't drink your wine." The fourth princess said, glancing outside the hall intentionally or unintentionally.

To today's palace banquet, the Second Prince brought along several of his concubines who were usually kept in the outer residence. They were all under the awning in the courtyard. Concubine Ying didn't like them very much, and the Second Prince could do nothing about it.

"Okay, then you guys chat."

Seeing the Second Prince retreat, Xu Yixing knew that his goal for today had been achieved, and taking advantage of the fact that the Fourth Princess was not bothering him, he quickly slipped away to find Lu Anyuan.

Until the end of the banquet, no one waited for the emperor to come. It seemed that the emperor was still angry with Ying Fei. However, since she was allowed to hold such a large banquet in the palace, there must be some compensation.

As the crowd gradually left, Concubine Ying finally didn't have to keep smiling anymore. During the day, she had several more wrinkles on her face.

Looking at the birthday gifts piled up in the hall, Concubine Ying rolled her eyes impatiently and had them moved away.

If other people received so many gifts on their birthday, they would be happy, but not Concubine Ying. She hated celebrating her birthday the most because every birthday meant she was one year older.

There are many new beauties this year, and looking at those flower-like faces, even if Concubine Ying is the most favored, she can't help but sigh that her beauty will fade away, and she is scared to death.

Just after directing the young eunuchs to move things, he turned around and saw his son yelling at two palace maids: "What did you hear? Can't you even explain this?"

"Emperor! What happened?"

When the second prince heard his mother calling him, he waved his hand to let the two palace maids go first, then he put on a smiling face and walked over quickly.

"I'm sorry to bother mother. It's nothing serious. I just asked them some questions. But they were so hesitant and unclear. I was a little upset."

Concubine Ying hated to see her son angry or wronged. This time, her son had been somewhat implicated by her mother's family affairs, and she felt very sorry.

"I know you are not a reckless person. What happened to make you so panicked?" Ying Fei suppressed her fatigue. Nothing was more important than her son's affairs.

"Alas!" The second prince finally couldn't hold back his worries. He took his mother's hand and helped her sit on the cushion. Then he said, "I don't know what Xu Yiyan and Fourth Sister were whispering about today. I always felt that it was related to us, so I deliberately asked about it."

"Oh?" Concubine Ying immediately became serious and waved her hand to let the two palace maids come over: "Are you two responsible for serving the table of the Fourth Princess and the Seventh Prince?"

"Exactly."

"Since you are serving the master, you must pay attention to their movements. Otherwise, can't you hear them when they call?"

The two palace maids were both trained in Concubine Ying's palace. They looked at each other and naturally understood what the Empress meant.

"I will tell you everything I know."

Ying Fei smiled complacently: "Well, did you pay attention to what the two of them said and talked about?"

"This... The Fourth Princess and the Seventh Prince's Consort did have a good chat and laughed from time to time. They seemed to get along very well."

"Who asked you this!" Ying Fei sat up straight and understood why her son was angry just now. What a pair of idiots.

Suppressing his anger, he continued to ask: "I am asking what they said."

One of the maids was obviously smarter than the previous one. With a turn of her eyes, she accurately asked the question that her master wanted to know:

"The conversation between the two did involve the Second Prince, but they were too far away. I only heard something like 'more difficult things are waiting for the Second Prince', but the rest was whispered, so I couldn't hear it clearly."

Concubine Ying leaned back and looked at her son. It seemed that there was something fishy.

Xu Yixing sat in a carriage on Lu Anyuan's side, but he was not in a hurry to return home. He just strolled aimlessly on Zhuque Street, listening to the smell of fireworks.

"I'm a little worried that the Fourth Princess will tell everyone about me."

"What are you afraid of? Once Wu Xueyan comes out, this matter will definitely involve you. Are you afraid of being known in advance?"

Xu Yixing took off her crown in the car with the help of the small mirror in her arms, because it was too heavy. Lu Anyuan held the mirror for her with one hand, while appreciating the scenery that she had never thought of before.

"No, I'm worried that the evidence is too obvious. The Second Prince will definitely know it's a trick and won't take the bait."

"Don't worry, this is an open conspiracy. Whether he takes the bait or not, the outcome won't be very different."

There won't be much difference? Xu Yixing snorted. Lu Anyuan was used to giving people peace of mind. If there really wasn't much difference, then why would he have to go through all this trouble?

"Okay, let me go down at the clothing store in front. I'll go change clothes and continue acting." Xu Yixing combed his hair into a woman's style, ready to continue his lie.

Lu Anyuan knocked on the car board, and Ah Da's voice came from outside the window: "Your Highness, no one is following."

He shook his head and smiled, as if he was laughing at Xu Yixing for being too serious: "Listen, no one is following you, who are you acting for?"

"If you want to act, you have to act the whole thing. What if Ah Da didn't notice? Besides, I'll be there every day. Just go ahead. I won't let you down."

Xu Yixing threw a coquettish glance at Lu Anyuan, jumped down in one step, changed her clothes, and then walked in the direction of twenty miles outside the south gate. She wanted to meet Gao Yao and Wu Xueyan, and of course, also to lead the way for the second prince's people.

From October 19th until November, Xu Yixing and the people around her went to hang out outside the South Gate every day, but they were in disguise every time, which was as suspicious as it could be.

At the same time, the Second Prince finally learned from the lover of the biological daughter of the godmother of a trusted maid in the Fourth Princess's mansion what Xu Yiyan had told the Fourth Princess that day: Wu Xueyan was not dead.

The second prince broke out in a cold sweat, not because of the fact that Wu Xueyan was not dead, but because he realized that he had been fooled.

After the birthday banquet that day, he had been sending people to follow the people in the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Sure enough, he saw the new concubine and her people often sneaking out of the city. His people followed them several times, but each time they were thrown away not long after leaving the south of the city. He didn't know what they were doing.
