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

"Your Highness, I am Yin Qianqian, the daughter of General Zhenxi."

The prince raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect Yin Huaiyuan to have such a beautiful daughter. He hid it very well."

Yin Qianqian pretended to be shy and said, "Your Highness, you are too kind. I have been following my father to the western border, so Your Highness doesn't recognize me."

"Oh? Isn't your father still guarding the border in the west? Why did you return to the imperial capital alone?"

Yin Qianqian could only explain: "I have some old illnesses, and I came back this time to seek medical treatment."

The prince seemed to be somewhat interested in her and asked again: "Where do you live now?"

Yin Qianqian didn't know that the Crown Prince and Li Rui were at loggerheads, so she told the truth: "I am now living in the Prince Rui's mansion, and I want to ask Divine Doctor Gao to treat me."

The prince was a little unhappy when he heard that she was living in Prince Rui's Mansion. Didn't Yin Huaiyuan already surrender to him privately, so why would he send his daughter to Prince Rui's Mansion?

However, he did not show it, and said kindly: "I admire your father very much, and I have some personal relationship with him. If Miss Yin needs any help in the future, please come to me."

Yin Qianqian thought that it was no wonder that her father told her before leaving that she could ask the prince for help if she encountered any difficulties, and she quickly bowed again.

"My father has mentioned many times that His Royal Highness is kind, diligent and caring for the people. He will surely be a wise ruler in the future. Now I see that it is indeed true. I would like to thank His Royal Highness for his care."

The prince was very pleased with the words and became more friendly. However, this place was not suitable for conversation, so the prince said a few more polite words and left.

Yin Qianqian returned to the banquet after watching the prince leave. However, Jianying saw what they were talking about.

He told Li Rui quietly. Li Rui thought about it for a moment and realized that the prince was a hypocrite who appeared to be not interested in women, but secretly did a lot of flirting, so he didn't think much about it.

Li Cheng was forced to drink a lot of wine, but he had a good alcohol tolerance and remained sober. After the toast, he was surrounded by several playboys and taken to the bridal chamber.

A few playboys made a fuss in the bridal chamber for a while, then left tactfully.

After the people left, Bai Yueli sat on the wedding bed nervously and didn't dare to move. Li Cheng looked at Bai Yueli with a smile.

"Why? Princess, are you still thinking about your brother, the Crown Prince?"

Bai Yueli's face turned pale when he was touched.

"Don't talk nonsense. I've already married you. How could I still think about my brother the prince?"

Li Cheng's eyes gradually turned cold. With this kind of appearance, she was not even as pretty as the foot-washing maid in the palace. If it weren't for her high family background, there was no way he could marry her.

What's more, this woman is obsessed with the prince, and he is not a fool. He will still pamper her even though he knows that she has someone in her heart.

But he couldn't touch her yet, so he let her enjoy the honor of being a princess. She looked down on him? Haha, he even thought she was ugly.

Li Cheng stood up and walked out without even drinking the wedding wine.

Bai Yueli took one look and quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

Li Cheng looked over with a smile in his peach blossom eyes, but said something heartbreaking: "This is Prince Cheng's Mansion, not Duke Ning's Mansion. I am the owner here. If you want to live comfortably in the future, you'd better behave yourself. And don't interfere in my affairs!"

After saying that, Li Cheng slammed the door and went out, heading towards the courtyard in the backyard where the concubines of the royal palace lived.

Bai Yueli didn't expect Li Cheng to treat her like this on their wedding day. She was already prepared to sacrifice herself generously, but he slammed the door and left.

Bai Yueli was so angry that she was shaking all over and finally couldn't help crying. She had never suffered such an injustice in her life.

When she returns home, she will definitely report Li Cheng to her father and mother!

But when she thought that she was not the biological daughter of Duke Ningguo and his wife, she felt even more sad and burst into tears!

The maid who was guarding outside was brought from the Ningguo Mansion. When she saw Li Cheng slam the door and leave, and heard the young lady crying, she hurried in to comfort her, but ended up getting several slaps in the face.

When Li Cheng was halfway there, he saw a woman in a lavender skirt standing in front of him, looking at him lovingly.

"My Lord, today is your wedding day. Where are you going?"

Li Cheng stepped forward and hugged the woman by the waist. He felt a little depressed. It was not pleasant to marry a princess who cheated on him.

There are so many women in the backyard of the palace, and they all have their eyes on him. Who cares about the plain-looking Bai Yueli?

"Xiang'er, how about I spend my wedding night with you today?"

This woman was Xiang'er, a maidservant of Concubine Xiao. She should have been beaten to death for the scandal she had with Li Cheng, but Concubine Xiao gave her to Li Cheng as a concubine because she served him well and truly loved Li Cheng.

The banquet was almost over, so Li Rui took Lu Qingxue and Yin Qianqian back to Prince Rui's Palace.

When they separated, Li Rui deliberately asked, "I wonder if Miss Yin has consulted Divine Doctor Gao? How is the situation?"

Yin Qianqian's body stiffened. She was not in a hurry to see a doctor and just wanted to delay it for a few more days. But when Li Rui asked her about it, she felt a little embarrassed.

"Yesterday I went to support Sister Xi'er's new store, and today I attended King Cheng's wedding. I really haven't found the time to look for Divine Doctor Gao."

Li Rui said calmly: "Your father specially asked you to come to the Rui Palace to seek medical treatment, you have to pay attention to yourself, otherwise I will not be able to explain to him."

Yin Qianqian looked at Li Rui with a bit of resentment. This man really doesn't understand romance. Can't he see her real intention?

"Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness. I was planning to take some time today to go and see Divine Doctor Gao."

Li Rui returned to Lingfeng Pavilion without saying much, while Yin Qianqian took Axing back to the guest room.

As soon as she entered the room, she asked Ah Xing to close the door, and then she started punching and kicking Ah Xing.

"Why can't he just look at me more? Why am I not worthy of him? Speak!"

Ah Xing didn't say anything. In fact, he could see that Li Rui had no interest in Yin Qianqian at all. It was just Yin Qianqian's one-sided crush.

Every time she hit Ah Xing, it was on parts that couldn't be seen from the outside. There was no trace of any injuries on parts of her face or hands that were exposed.

Ah Xing endured it silently. She didn't know if this woman had a distorted mind since childhood due to the influence of the cold. She always looked dignified and intelligent in front of outsiders.

But in private, she is simply a demon. Ah Xing has been with her since she was thirteen years old and has been used as an object for her to vent her anger. The wounds on her body have never ceased.

Every time she said she hated him, she would take him with her wherever she went, because she herself didn't realize that she couldn't live without Ah Xing either.

Today, because of the King's wedding, many noble ladies have gone to attend the wedding banquet, so the beauty store's business is not as good as it was yesterday when it opened.

However, due to yesterday's popularity and word of mouth, some daughters from merchant families also came here to visit. These girls came from wealthy families and were more generous with their money than the girls from official families.

An Muxi specifically told Xiaoqin and the others that they should treat customers like Buddhas and treat them equally. They should be well entertained when they enter the store and should not be treated differently based on their status.

Although the merchants were of low status, they were wealthy and also a huge consumer group. The young ladies from the merchants were warmly entertained and indeed spent hundreds of taels of silver with just a wave of their hands.

The funniest thing was that today Song Lan from the Song Clinic and Shopkeeper Sun from the bookstore also came to show their support and bought some skin care products saying they were giving them to the women in their families.

She told the bookstore that she might be busy in the future and could only go there once a month. Fortunately, she was diligent in the past and had written more than 20 books. The sales were relatively stable, so she could make some money. She also told Aunt Luo to check the accounts of the beauty store once a month.

In this way, when the beauty store gradually gets on track, she can be a hands-off boss and just wait to collect the money every month, feeling very happy.

After An Muxi finished the business at the cosmetics store, she took Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue back to Prince Rui's Mansion.

As soon as she entered the palace, Nanny Zhao brought her a letter. It was written by Dai Meng.

An Muxi was very excited. Dai Meng had been gone for a while and she really missed her. She wondered how she and Li Yian were doing over there?

When she returned to Furong Courtyard, she couldn't wait to take out the letter and open it to read.
