I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

There were not many customers early in the morning. When An Muxi entered the store, she saw Xiaoqin and Banxia Chenxiang had already opened the door and tidied the interior to look brand new.

"Xiaoqin, come here, everyone. This is Aunt Luo, the accountant I hired. She will be here every day to collect the money and keep the accounts."

Xiaoqin and a few others came over and greeted them obediently. Since they were all women, they quickly got along well with each other.

Aunt Luo was also a mother. Her family used to be in business. Later, her son fell seriously ill and she had to sell the shop to pay for her son's medical treatment. Unexpectedly, her son still could not be saved in the end.

Now I can only help people with accounting to earn some money.

When she saw these little girls who were about the same age as her son, she felt much better and showed a loving look. She liked the atmosphere here very much and the boss was very kind to the servants. She would cherish this rare opportunity.

Then An Muxi took a few maids to check the warehouse and found that there was not much stock left. She hurriedly counted the quantity and arranged for the purchase of raw materials.

I told Xiaoqin and the others that when they were not busy, they would work in pairs to make the products according to the recipe. One person could just wait outside.

Of course, she has said that this formula cannot be leaked, but she is not afraid even if it is leaked, because she has many other product formulas that she has not revealed yet. No one will be able to imitate their products in a short time.

The Emperor and Concubine Xiao both came to Prince Cheng's mansion today. The Emperor was quite fond of Prince Cheng. Although this son was a little dandy, he allowed him to experience the rare father-son relationship.

In addition, his mother was his favorite concubine, so he had to give her some face and let her attend.

The Queen has always been at odds with Concubine Xiao. Today she just sent someone a gift but did not come to give him face.

The prince and Huang Xinyue will be getting married in a month, so it would be better for her to worry more about the prince's marriage.

Li Rui brought Lu Qingxue and Yin Qianqian to pay their respects to the Emperor and Concubine Xiao.

Yin Qianqian insisted on coming along because Li Rui was present. Of course, with her status, she was qualified to attend the wedding banquet at the palace even without an invitation.

The emperor was in a good mood today, and he felt a little strange to see Li Rui bringing a strange woman with him.

"Rui'er, who is this girl?" He knew that Li Rui had been depressed since losing his mother. If there was a woman who could make him happy, he wouldn't mind arranging a marriage for them.

Before Li Rui could speak, Yin Qianqian quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I am Yin Qianqian, the daughter of General Zhenxi Yin Huaiyuan."

Emperor Tiansheng then knew her identity and was a little surprised that she was with Li Rui.

Li Rui said calmly, "A few days ago, I went to the border to escort my bride. General Yin asked me to bring her here for medical treatment."

Emperor Tiansheng nodded, knowing that he was probably here to see Divine Doctor Gao. He said with a pleasant expression:

"Your father has worked hard for Tiansheng in guarding the western border. If you need anything, please let Rui'er tell me."

Yin Qianqian was overjoyed. She almost blurted out that she wanted the emperor to grant her and Li Rui a marriage. However, she knew that Li Rui would definitely not be willing to do so. Once she was rejected, she would have no chance to turn things around. So she replied obediently:

"Thank you, Your Majesty. It is my father's duty to guard the border for Tiansheng. I dare not take credit for it. Your Highness Prince Rui has taken good care of Qianqian. Qianqian has no requests."

After saying that, Yin Qianqian glanced at Li Rui shyly. Li Rui turned his face away coldly, not wanting to look at this disgusting woman.

The emperor was very satisfied with her attitude. The look in her eyes towards Rui'er seemed to be full of admiration. He felt amused in his heart that Rui'er really did not understand romance.

Concubine Xiao on the side looked at Yin Qianqian and saw through all her little thoughts. This woman was tactful, had a bright and elegant appearance, and came from a good family. Why did she fall for Li Rui's icy face?

I was so angry when I saw Li Rui's face which was exactly the same as Concubine Rong.

However, if Concubine Rong were still alive, she would probably have nothing to do now. That woman was favored by His Majesty for several years, and there was no concubine in the palace who did not hate her.

Her son was handsome and elegant, and could not compare to Li Rui in any way. Fortunately, he finally married the daughter of Duke Ningguo, which was a great help.

Li Rui took Lu Qingxue to their seats, and soon Li Cheng brought back the bride Bai Yueli.

Bai Yueli finally breathed a sigh of relief today. Although she didn't like Li Cheng, ever since Nanny Gui told her her true identity last time, she had been uneasy and suspicious all day, fearing that people would find out that she was just the son of a lowly servant.

Suddenly, I longed to marry into the Prince's Mansion as soon as possible so that I wouldn't have to look at Nanny Gui's annoying old face every day.

Today, Li Cheng went to meet his bride. His mother, Wu, was reluctant to let her go and cried while hugging her, but she pushed him away and followed Li Cheng impatiently. Wu was so stunned that she forgot to cry.

Bai Jingchen also felt that his sister was a little strange, but thinking that his sister had been locked up for a while and was probably a little eager to get married, he didn't think much about it.

Bai Yueli and Li Cheng got married smoothly and were sent to the bridal chamber. She felt a little more at ease sitting on the wedding bed, but in her heart she was thinking about what Nanny Rigui had told her.

She couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in her hand. It turned out that An Muxi was the daughter of the Duke of Ningguo. She had tried to find fault with her many times and tried to harm her.

If she knew her true identity, she would definitely not let her go. A chill crept up her back.

She must never let the people in Ningguo Mansion know An Muxi's true identity.

Fortunately, she is now the concubine of Prince Rui and has no chance to come into contact with anyone from the Ningguo Mansion. This matter cannot be rushed and can only be planned slowly.

She also thought about whether the Crown Prince would be here today, and how great it would be if the groom was the Crown Prince.

Thinking of what the prince had promised her, she made up her mind to help the prince keep an eye on Li Cheng's movements.

It would be best to catch some evidence against him as soon as possible. If the Crown Prince is happy, he can get her out of the Prince's Palace as soon as possible.

Li Cheng is getting married today. Although the bride is not the one he likes, her family is powerful, so he still pretends to be very happy and greets the guests.

Yin Qianqian sat next to Lu Qingxue, bored. In fact, some female relatives at the table were asking about her background. Some noble ladies would use the banquet as an opportunity to choose suitable spouses for their children.

After all, she was still young when she left the imperial capital, and now she has changed a lot, and many people don’t recognize her.

But when they saw Yin Qianqian's eyes were full of Li Rui, everyone understood and stopped thinking about it.

In fact, Lu Qingxue had already noticed that Yin Qianqian had a special look in her eyes towards Li Rui, but she pretended not to know. Li Rui was now completely focused on An Muxi and it was impossible for him to be interested in Yin Qianqian.

Besides, what happened between her and the personal bodyguard would definitely be known to Li Rui, so it was even more impossible for Li Rui to want her.

Yin Qianqian saw that Li Rui was sitting at the men's table and had not paid any attention to her. She felt a little depressed, drank some wine, and wanted to go to the toilet. So she stood up and asked a maid to lead the way to the toilet.

After coming out, when walking back, I met a man wearing a dark purple python robe embroidered with dragon patterns.

She quickly guessed the other party's identity. Now that the four adult princes, Prince An, had already gone to Tianyue Country, Prince Cheng was in front in a wedding dress to entertain guests. She knew Li Rui, so he must be the crown prince, so she quickly saluted: "Your Highness, your Highness, pays respects to the crown prince."

The prince was startled and looked at the woman in front of him with some surprise. He had impressions of most of the noble ladies in the imperial capital, but how come he had no impression of this bright and beautiful young lady?

"Get up. I wonder which family you are from? How come I have never seen you before?"
