It's late at night and the stars are twinkling.
Hongyu and Cuiwei did not fall asleep. They were lying on their beds thinking about Xiao Yunxi's words.
Cuiwei thought of her mother who risked her life to give birth to her younger brother for her father. However, before her seventh day of mourning, her stepmother came into the house with a big belly.
Her father always allowed her stepmother to abuse her and her brother, and even sold her and her brother to human traffickers at a low price just to buy a gold collar for her stepmother.
Fifty taels of silver completely severed the family ties between them.
All men are bad. That Master Lu is her token of allegiance to the princess!
As long as she had the princess as her support, she and her brother could live well. Her brother could escape from slavery and take part in the imperial examinations, and perhaps even pursue a career in government. She could at least live a stable life.
Hongyu thought of the sweet days she had with the prince in the past, and how the prince had pushed her out to resist the old lady's wrath in order to protect Lin Wan'er, and even instigated her to oppose the princess before leaving home.
In fact, from the beginning to the end, she was just a "toy" of the prince. He didn't like her that much, nor did he hate her that much.
So when she was sold, the old lady had no shame at all, and the prince didn't send anyone to look for her for two years.
She whispered softly, "Lin Wan'er is the prince's sweetheart, so I will give you an arrow that will pierce your heart."
Xiao Yunxi here was quite relaxed and was drawing.
"Princess, are Hongyu and Cuiwei any use? They look so timid and cowardly."
Xiao Yunxi smiled.
"It doesn't matter whether they are useful or not. At least they are my people. I don't expect them to achieve anything great, but I just hope they don't let me down at the critical moment."
"What's more, with them around, Lu Jingting will naturally bother me less."
"You always have that 'I regret it' look on your face. It makes me sick to my stomach!"
Chunxiao thought of how the prince had hesitated to speak several times, with an expression that said "my heart aches", and she got goosebumps.
"Well, go get some rest, it's getting late."
"Yes."
The next morning, Xiao Yunxi was giving instructions to the housekeepers when she saw Chunxiao walk in with a gossipy look on her face.
After everyone left, Chun Xiao said to Xiao Yunxi with a happy face: "Princess, Lin Wan'er couldn't help it."
"what happened?"
"She disfigured that girl Liu'er?"
Xiao Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then quickly calmed down, "What's going on?"
"I just went to the kitchen to order lunch and saw Liu'er sitting by the rockery in the garden crying, with Qing'er comforting her."
"I hid aside and heard them say that it was because I accidentally said, 'The two girls brought by the princess are very beautiful and seem gentle and polite.'"
"After hearing this, Lin Wan'er threw the scalding hot teacup on the table at Liu'er, hitting her forehead."
"I took a look and it was right above my right eye. It was quite a large patch. I think it will leave a scar in the future."
Xia He said disdainfully: "Liu Wan'er is impatient, you are stupid!"
Lin Wan'er was not hitting Liu'er at all, she was clearly hitting the princess in the face.
Xiao Yunxi naturally understood it as well.
But Liu'er was no pushover either. She was probably saying those words deliberately to provoke Lin Wan'er. She was hiding in the rockery in the garden just now, waiting for Chunxiao to take the bait.
interesting!
Xiao Yunxi looked at the angry Chun Xiao and ordered, "Go and give the Hibiscus Scar Removing Cream to that girl and give her ten taels of silver. You don't have to say anything."
Chun Xiao came back to her senses and pursed her lips, "I will go right away."
A few days later, Xiao Yunxi met Lu Jingting when she was paying her respects at Shou'an Hall.
She directly mentioned the matter of Na Cuiwei and Hongyu, and said frankly that she had already drunk the tea they offered her, and hoped that the prince would consummate the marriage with them as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jingting's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground with a "bang", and glared at Xiao Yunxi with sharp eyes.
"You're so eager to push me to another woman!"
Xiao Yunxi had a calm expression as she sat dignifiedly on the chair. "As the prince of the Zhennan Palace, it is your duty to have more children!"
"Besides, there have been rumors that you were seriously injured and impotent, so you hurriedly adopted a child."
"For the future of the palace, and to quell the rumors outside, you must take a concubine, and make her pregnant as soon as possible."
The old lady frowned and advised, "Jingting, the princess is right."
Lu Jingting was so angry that he was shaking. It took him a long time to recover. He said helplessly: "There is no need to take a concubine, can't you..."
Seeing Xiao Yunxi's sarcastic look, Lu Jingting didn't dare to continue speaking. After all, he was in the wrong.
First, she ran away after making a lot of nonsense on her wedding night, and then she tried every means to bring Lu Ze and Lu Yuan into her house.
Things have gotten to this point, and the future is worrying, with no way back.
If he can't have another child, I'm afraid the spit outside will drown him.
Seeing that Lu Jingting had calmed down, Xiao Yunxi continued, "In addition to the two concubines with official titles, I also bought a few maids with beautiful appearance and clean backgrounds. They will be used as concubines first, and will be given official titles after they have children."
Lu Jingting shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking, you are treating me like a stud.
He looked at Xiao Yunxi deeply, snorted coldly, and walked away with a turned away face.
Xiao Yunxi looked at the old lady with a puzzled expression, "Sir, do you think it's too little or too ugly?"
The old lady choked and smiled awkwardly, "What are you talking about? The two concubines will be arranged in the small courtyard near the study. As for the maids, send them to the study to serve."
"Well, I'll do as you say."
After Xiao Yunxi left, the old lady shook her head in amusement, "This girl looks quite smart, how come she can't see what Jing Ting is thinking?"
Nanny Li sighed inwardly, how could the princess not see that? It was obvious that she disliked her.
"Madam, the princess is still a girl after all, and she doesn't understand the love affairs between men and women."
The old lady was a little worried. "This is not a solution. Why don't you make a bowl of soup and send it to her and Jing Ting..."
Seeing the hint in the old lady's eyes, Nanny Li broke out in a cold sweat, "Absolutely not, old lady!"
"The prince has just changed his mind. If we give it to them now... I'm afraid they will both feel resentful."
"Good things take time. Let the prince and the princess work it out on their own. I believe that with such a good example as the princess, Lin Wan'er won't be able to stay here for two days."
Seeing the old lady nod in agreement, Nanny Li breathed a sigh of relief.
If the prince and the princess were really drugged, regardless of how furious the prince would be, the princess would probably beat her to death. Thinking of how cruel that girl Xia He was, Nanny Li's heart trembled.
"Let Hongyu and Cuiwei, the two girls, divert Jingting's attention away from that b*tch."
"Seeing how respectful they are to Yun Xi, they won't dare to act so arrogantly in the future."
After returning to Feiyu Pavilion, Xiao Yunxi told Hongyu and Cuiwei about Lu Jingting's reaction.
"You are now the prince's concubines. Hongyu will live in Tingyuxuan, Cuiwei will live in Tingxuexuan, and the other maids will serve in the study."
"You all know the prince's attitude. You know what to do. Go down and prepare."
"Yes."
