On the second day, I will go to Zhuangzi in the Second Prince's Mansion for a banquet. Everyone in Huai'an Marquis' Mansion was busy.

Mrs. Yang didn't think anything of it yet, but all the aunts in the back house, except your aunt, were very excited.

In the past, no matter how grand the occasion was, no matter how many people went there, even the guards, servants, and maids might have the opportunity to come in and out, because generally, ladies and gentlemen from various families were bound to have people waiting on them.

However, these aunts basically have no chance to meet them. This time, Meilin gave them an opportunity to go out, get closest to the royal family, and witness the royal style with their own eyes. They were really excited from the bottom of their hearts, and they were extremely grateful to Meilin.

Mei Lin's compliments and flattery to these people can be said to be calm, so it became the basis for Mei Lin to "care about her mother's family".

This is not what Meilin wants. These people in front of her are kowtowing, praising her and praising her every day, but there is no way to help Meilin get out of her current predicament.

Mei Lin attributed all the misfortunes to Ji Jun and Ji Min, so when Hou Nan found her, she agreed without hesitation.

Mei Lin felt that she had made two preparations. If Yu Jue could succeed, then Ji Jun would not be able to enter the third prince's house, so he would continue to be her merchant girl.

At the same time, Yu Jue will blame everything on Ji Jun. In this way, for the sake of reputation, the second prince will not bring a woman who framed his brother into the back house!

If Yu Jue fails and Ji Jun enters the third prince's mansion according to Hou Nan's arrangement, no matter what happens in the third prince's back house, in short, it will be impossible for Ji Jun to enter the second prince's mansion!

No matter what, Meilin felt that she could cut off the second prince's thoughts!

Mei Lin was in a daze in the back garden of the Second Prince's Mansion when she heard the footsteps of several people. When she raised her eyes, she saw that it was Concubine Zou and Concubine Guan beside her.

Compared with Concubine Zou and Concubine He, they can be said to be equally matched.

But Concubine Guan next to Concubine Zou was obviously more beautiful.

Concubine Guan is the niece of Guan Baosheng and the cousin of Guan Jingqiu. Her facial features are bright and moving, her makeup is meticulous, and her body is gorgeous. At first glance, she is so gorgeous that it almost dazzles the eyes.

Mei Lin had received guidance from the nuns in the palace and was very confident in her behavior. However, in front of Concubine Guan, seeing her steady and controlled movements and her reserved expression, she felt a sense of crisis for no reason, and then something happened. A sense of frustration.

The appearance of this Concubine Guan is far superior to hers. Among her sisters, the only one who can compete with her in the ring is her beautiful face!

Mei Lin thought that she had passed the test among a kind of noble girl and made it into the top five, almost becoming a "prince's concubine". Moreover, I saw that among the ladies who were running for the election, there were not many who were better than Yuyan. I and Yuyan were sisters, so they were not much different!

For a time, I had blind confidence in my appearance.

Now that she saw Concubine Guan, Mei Lin was deeply shocked.

No wonder, daddy wants Yuyan to enter the second prince's house too!

But, now, it’s too late to regret!

She vaguely felt that she had overlooked something, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't remember it.

In fact, because Meilin was a concubine, she had been trapped in the back house of the Marquis of Huai'an, and she didn't know much about the outside world and her knowledge was limited.

She didn't know that when the "prince's concubine" was being selected, the matrons of many families deliberately found various reasons to keep beautiful concubines in the palace in order for their daughters to be selected.

Therefore, what Mei Lin saw at that time were not all the talented and beautiful ladies in the capital. It could only be said that the girls from each family most wanted to run for the election and be selected.

Mei Lin bowed to Concubine Zou, and then bowed to Concubine Guan Shu.

Mei Lin smiled and said,

"You two sisters are so free, why don't you come to visit the garden?"

Although Concubine Zou was smiling, her tone was not kind.

"I heard that His Highness has invited all the women in your house, including your aunt. You are so proud!"

Mei Lin could tell that Concubine Zou was unhappy, and she was confused and dissatisfied, but she could only return it softly.

"Perhaps Your Highness feels sorry for me because I just got married and misses my family, so I invited you together." Concubine Guan said coolly,

"Sister Meilin is using His Highness to oppress us? Your sympathy doesn't matter, but do you know how much more money our concubine has to spend on the banquet? I dare not spend the money of your Huai'an Marquis! Of course you don't feel bad anymore!"

Mei Lin remembered that the betrothal gift sent by the second prince Ming Yuanqian to the Huai'an Marquis Mansion had a total of eighteen sets, and they were relatively genuine. Hong Peiju laughed so hard that she couldn't even see her teeth.

Later I heard that it was prepared by Concubine Zou, so it should be Concubine Zou’s money!

If Concubine Zou was not here, Meilin would definitely fight back, but now she can only endure it.

Meilin lowered her head and said softly,

"His Highness said that several of my sisters did not often go out to socialize, and they were worried that their mother would not be able to take care of them, so they asked the aunt in the mansion to help take care of them. Your Highness gave the Marquis of Huai'an and my biological aunt dignity, and it was also the grace of the concubine, the beauty. From now on, Lin will serve His Highness and the Empress with all her heart and repay their kindness."

Concubine Zou snorted coldly and said,

"I don't dare to expect anything in return. However, my Zou family doesn't take this little money seriously yet. However, you should take good care of your natal family and don't try to climb high and do some shameless things. , if I find out, I will never show mercy, including you!"

Concubine Zou was so angry that she gave up almost one-fifth of her family property in order to marry into the prince's palace!

I thought it was settled. After getting married, as long as we live our daily lives, we wouldn't need to spend too much.

Unexpectedly, the money the second prince needed was like a bottomless pit.

What was especially unbearable for Concubine Zou was that she had to pay for the second prince to take a concubine!

The second prince said to her,

"Meilin is the daughter of the Marquis of Huai'an. She is a daughter of the Marquis's family. She has a different background from merchants like you. Moreover, she was once selected as a prince's concubine. Naturally, her worth is incomparable to those from a small family! If Meilin enters the palace in a hurry, the royal family will Your face is dull!"

Concubine Zou was choked by the sentence "the daughter of the Marquis". She wanted to say, "Concubine He is also a merchant's daughter and a royal concubine. Why don't you ask the He family for money?"

However, Concubine Zou did not dare to confront the second prince, fearing that the second prince would say something even more embarrassing to her, and their superficial harmony would not be maintained!

I feel trapped in my heart and I have to find a place to vent it out!

Concubine Guan said again,

"Sister Meilin, I've put so much effort into your affairs, why don't you give me a cup of tea to express your gratitude?"

Mei Lin endured the resentment in her heart, stood up quickly, took the freshly poured tea from the maid, and handed it to Concubine Zou.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea. Meilin thanks your Majesty for your kindness and generosity!"

Mei Lin knelt down and held the tea cup, but Concubine Zou remained motionless. She didn't take it herself, and she had no way to let anyone take it.

Meilin could only hold it like this. After a while, her legs began to tremble and her arms began to feel sore!

This is Concubine Zou trying to punish her!

Concubine Guan’s sarcastic voice sounded again,

"Sister Mei Lin, I heard that among all the young ladies in the Huai'an Hou Mansion, you are the smartest one! As for smart people, don't do stupid things! You must position yourself well. Although you are from the Hou Mansion, you can What are you helping His Highness? Do you have the money to buy every plant, tree, table and chair in the Prince's Mansion, or do you have the ability to persuade the ministers to help His Highness solve his problems? You don't have anything, so you have to be honest and behave yourself! Don't think of crooked ways. Seducing His Highness!"

Mei Lin was a little confused this time. She wanted to seduce him, but she couldn't even see the second prince, so why should she seduce him?

Mei Lin straightened up. Although she was still holding the tea cup, she retracted her arms slightly to feel less uncomfortable. She looked at Concubine Guan,

"What does sister mean by this? Since I entered the palace, I have only seen His Highness once. Why does sister want to accuse you? I really can't agree with you!"

"Snapped"!

Concubine Zou reached out and smacked the tea cup out of Mei Lin's hand and said coldly,

"Don't think that you can win His Highness's heart by bringing Ji Jun into the house! I really misjudged it. You just entered the house and you started to have thoughts! Just wait for me!"

After that, he took Concubine Guan and left!

After taking two steps, Concubine Guan suddenly turned around and said with a smile,

"You still want to win people's favor, but you don't even know who you are? You are just a pawn in the deal between the Marquis of Huai'an and His Highness, and you are worthy of it! You are not overestimating your own abilities!"

Meilin froze in place!

After a long time, Mei Lin finally came to her senses. Who was going to marry Ji Jun to the second prince?

What's wrong with you! And he was very sick!
