Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

On their wedding night, Liu Yuexi and Xiao Yan experienced a small turning point in their lives.

Xiao Yan was extremely restrained. When Liu Yuexi said she was tired, he did not make things difficult for her even if he thought about it in his heart.

Logically speaking, since they were newly married and Xiao Yan was quite satisfied with Liu Yuexi, he should stay in her room every night.

But he did not do so. Instead, he followed the ancestral teachings and went to the Crown Princess's room twice a month, and stayed in his own palace the rest of the time.

When Ye Jintang heard the news, she didn't know what to say. Her son was incredibly rational and followed the rules in everything. Didn't he have any ideas of his own?

For a moment, Ye Jintang even wondered if she had hired the wrong teacher for her son, as why did the teacher teach her son in such a pedantic way?

But this matter was Xiao Yan's own business after all, and it was not easy for Ye Jintang, as a mother, to interfere. She could only tell him in a disguised way that he was not young anymore and it was time to have a child.

When Liu Yuexi went to pay her respects to Ye Jintang, Ye Jintang hinted to her that she should persuade Xiao Yan not to follow any ancestral rules and that they should stay in her room every day as newlyweds.

Liu Yuexi was originally a thin-skinned person, and after hearing what Ye Jintang said, she felt even more embarrassed and could only agree reluctantly.

After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Liu Yuexi went over the matter over and over in her mind, but in the end she couldn't say it out loud.

There was only one mistress, Liu Yuexi, in the Prince's Mansion, and no concubines or empresses, which made her feel a lot more relaxed. Occasionally, when the Liu family wanted to curry favor with her, she would just ignore them and not see them.

Xiao Yan treated her with respect and they got along quite well.

It’s a pity that such beautiful days did not last long.

One day, Xiao Yan went out hunting and did not come back for three days. The guards brought back news that the prince had taken his men into the mountains.

Liu Yuexi was worried to death and hadn't slept well in the past three days.

"Your Highness, the guard just reported that His Highness has returned. He has already entered the city and will be back at the Prince's Mansion soon."

"Really? Help me change my clothes. I'll go to the door to greet His Highness."

Liu Yuexi was very excited. She lifted her skirt and walked quickly towards the door.

During the three days that Xiao Yan disappeared, Liu Yuexi clearly realized that she had fallen in love with him without knowing when.

After seeing him today, she must tell him that they have just gotten married, and no one will say anything even if he stays in her room every day.

The gate of the Prince's Mansion opened, and Liu Yuexi looked nervously at the street not far away, only to see Xiao Yan, dressed in casual clothes, riding a horse.

The moment she saw Xiao Yan, the smile on Liu Yuexi's face froze instantly.

A beautiful woman came back riding on the same horse with Xiao Yan.

The two of them were talking and laughing and seemed quite familiar with each other.

Liu Yuexi's heart felt like it had sunk into an icy cave. It was only then that she reacted when Xiao Yan had already approached her.

"His Royal Highness is back."

"Well, I'm sorry to have worried you. I could have returned that same day, but when I was chasing a stag, I ran into the injured Miaoyin, which delayed me for some time."

While speaking, Xiao Yan turned over and got off the horse, and helped Fang Miaoyin off the horse.

Fang Miaoyin lived up to her name. When she opened her mouth, her voice was as sweet as a yellow oriole. Coupled with her pretty face, Liu Yuexi's heart was alerted.

There will finally be a new person in the Prince’s Mansion.

"Miaoyin greets the Crown Princess."

Fang Miaoyin stepped forward and saluted Liu Yuexi.

"No gift."

"Let's go. Miaoyin is still injured and shouldn't stand there for too long."

Xiao Yan originally wanted to help Fang Miaoyin, but unexpectedly Qiuyu was very perceptive. She quickly stepped forward to help Fang Miaoyin up while she was bowing. Xiao Yan took a look at her and said nothing, then strode into the Prince's Mansion.

Although Liu Yuexi felt upset, there was no displeasure on her face. She quickly followed Xiao Yan's footsteps.

"Your Highness, are you injured? Do you want to ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?"

"I'm fine. Ask the imperial physician to come and check on Miaoyin. Well, let Miaoyin stay in Xunfang Pavilion first."

"Your Highness wants to take Miss Miaoyin as a concubine."

Liu Yuexi finally stopped being reserved and directly asked about the doubts in her heart. If she continued to be reserved, Xiao Yan might even marry his two concubines.

Xiao Yan, who was walking in front, suddenly paused. He thought for a moment and said, "Miaoyin is just the daughter of a herbalist in the mountains. She should be a concubine for the time being."

Xiao Yan looked back at Liu Yuexi and continued to explain, "I met Miaoyin by accident. She was injured on her thigh and I helped her bandage the wound. If I didn't take her in, she wouldn't be able to marry anyone else."

"I see."

"Ah."

It was rare for Xiao Yan to talk so much to Liu Yuexi, but it was to explain to another woman.

Looking at Xiao Yan's back as he walked away, Liu Yuexi felt cold all over.

She secretly comforted herself, she knew when she married Xiao Yan that sooner or later he would have three thousand beauties in his harem and she would never be able to enjoy his favor alone.

But why did she feel so sad when this day finally came?

Fang Miaoyin wanted to follow Xiao Yan, but was stopped by the head nanny.

"Your Highness has already arranged accommodation for the young lady. Please come this way."

"Thank you, mama."

Seeing Xiao Yan walking away, Fang Miaoyin could only settle down temporarily. She knew that she was here to be Xiao Yan's concubine, but she had her own ideas about how to be a concubine.

Liu Yuexi, who was originally in a very good mood, now felt like something was stuck in her throat. She did not go to find Xiao Yan, but returned to her own yard.

"Don't be sad, madam. She is just a concubine. You don't need to take it to heart."

Seeing that Liu Yuexi was so sad that she was about to cry, Qiuyu quickly comforted her.

"How can I not be sad? With the first concubine, there will be a third and a fourth. It won't be long before even the two concubines will be occupied."

"That day will be the beginning of my disaster."

She grew up in a marquis's mansion and was familiar with the twists and turns in the rear quarters.

Her father had only one daughter, and in order to give birth to a son, there were seven or eight concubines in the backyard of the marquis's mansion. She had seen too many despicable means used to win favor.

When there are more concubines and favored concubines in the prince's mansion, she will become the person she hated the most in the past.

Liu Yuexi pursed her lips. No matter how they fought, her bottom line was the position of Crown Princess. Others had a way out, but she, an orphan, had no way out since she married into the Crown Prince's Mansion.

She would not compete with them for favor, but if anyone dared to touch her bottom line, she would not be easily offended.

Liu Yuexi originally thought that Xiao Yan would go to Fang Miaoyin's room on the night he returned, but she didn't expect that after the two of them had dinner together, Xiao Yan did not leave, but stayed in her room.

Xiao Yan has already stayed in her room for two days this month. Is he going to stay for the third day?

For a moment, Liu Yuexi felt mixed emotions. If it were in the past, she would definitely be very happy, but now she just felt a tightness in her chest.
