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

An Muxi smiled and said, "This pendant is quite ordinary, it doesn't even have a pattern. There should be a lot of similar ones."

Gu Anyan thought about it and agreed, so she didn't say anything else.

An Muxi suddenly thought of Bai Yueli and wondered what had happened to her. She must not be having an easy life now after being caught by Li Cheng having a secret meeting with the prince.

If she is sad, then I can be happy.

"Do you know how Bai Yueli is doing now after marrying into the Cheng Palace?"

Gu Anyan smiled. Her future sister-in-law had always been picking on her, and she really didn't like her. Fortunately, she was already married. Now she was causing trouble for the Cheng Palace.

"She heard from Jingchen that she made a scene at home the last time she came back, saying that on the wedding day, His Royal Highness King Cheng favored his concubine instead of consummating the marriage with her. She insisted that King Cheng apologize to her.

In the end, Prince Cheng and the Duke Ningguo and his wife were all embarrassed, and it was Nanny Gui who persuaded her to calm down. I guess Prince Cheng will punish her when he returns."

An Muxi laughed out loud. She had never seen such a stupid woman. Seeing that Gu Anyan wanted to laugh but was holding it back, she said, "Laugh if you want to. I'm not from the Ningguo Mansion. Don't worry, I won't tell them."

Then Gu Anyan also smiled, and after soaking in the hot spring for a while, they both went back to their rooms to rest.

Everyone had a great time that day and slept soundly. The next morning, the farm prepared several kinds of rural dishes and rice porridge, and everyone returned home after breakfast.

Bai Jingchen and Gu Anyan were sitting in a carriage, planning to send her home first. Their wedding date had already been set, and they loved each other and were about to get married, so they were naturally very close and could talk about anything.

"Jingchen, do you know? I also saw a white jade pendant on Xier that is the same as yours."

Bai Jingchen was stunned, then took out a white jade pendant from his collar.

"Is it the same as this?"

Gu Anyan took another careful look and said with certainty, "Yes, it is exactly the same as this one."

However, she did not mention the plum blossom birthmark on An Muxi's collarbone. After all, that is a very private matter for women.

Bai Jingchen was a little surprised. This pendant was made when his grandfather was still alive. It was made from a piece of raw white jade. A pair of them were made, and the style and size were exactly the same.

Later, I specially asked Master Qingyun from Sandalwood Temple to bless it. These are the only two identical pendants in the world, and they were specially made by my grandfather for himself and my sister.

The pendant looks very ordinary on the surface and has no patterns, but it was actually processed from the inside by a jade carving master. Only his grandparents and he himself know this.

When my sister was found, the family asked about it and the man said that my sister's jade pendant was lost. But how come An Muxi has an identical one?

When he recalled An Muxi's face, he always felt that she looked familiar. He felt that she looked kind when they first met. Although she and his sister had a carriage accident, he could not hate her. He even compensated her with silver.

The more I think about it, the more suspicious what happened back then seems.

But then I wondered if I was overthinking it. The jade pendant was lost and spread out, and it was possible that it was bought by An Muxi.

After returning to Ningguo Mansion, Bai Jingchen couldn't help but tell Ningguo about this matter. He knew that his mother would be more emotional when encountering things.

So I went straight to the study to find my father.

"What? You said Li'er's jade pendant is in the possession of King Rui's concubine?"

Duke Ningguo also found it a bit strange.

"Yes, father. An Yan saw it with her own eyes yesterday when she was taking a hot spring bath. It was exactly the same as mine."

"Why don't we ask her to come out and ask? If she bought it, we can just pay a high price and take it back."

"Father, Li'er had caused trouble for Madam An many times before she got married. Prince Rui had warned me last time. If we provoke her again, I'm afraid His Royal Highness Prince Rui will be unhappy."

Duke Ningguo pondered for a moment. Although the pendant was made of good materials, it was worth at most a few thousand taels of silver. The main thing was that it was the old duke's love for his grandchildren, which was priceless.

If it really is the lost pendant, I must find a way to get it back.

Seeing his father's expression, Bai Jingchen tentatively asked, "When my younger sister came back, how did you determine her identity?"

When Duke Ningguo heard these words, he was shocked and thought of another possibility!

The father and son looked at each other and both found it incredible.

"I will send someone to investigate this matter. Don't tell your mother yet."

Bai Jingchen nodded and left.

An Muxi returned to Prince Rui's Mansion and did some calculations. The bookstore had a share of about two thousand taels every month, and the clinic had a profit of about one thousand five hundred taels a month after deducting all costs. The beauty store was off to a good start and had a group of VIP users, so it could make at least three thousand taels a month.

All these add up to a monthly income of 6,500 taels. That's 70,000 to 80,000 taels of silver a year. She is now a rich and beautiful woman.

Last time, Doctor Gao said that Li Rui planned to go to the north to look for Wuyuan Xuanshen after the Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival is in three days. If everything goes well, wouldn't Li Rui be able to detoxify within a month?

By then, I can leave the Rui Palace. With this money, I can live a carefree life.

Just thinking about it makes her excited. An Muxi is immersed in her own beautiful fantasy and cannot extricate herself.

On this day, the Prince's Mansion welcomed a guest.

The prince was dealing with some unimportant memorials in his study. When he heard the servant's report, he was a little surprised, but he still asked the servant to invite the guests to the flower hall.

Yin Qianqian brought Ah Xing to the flower hall, drank tea and thought about her own worries. She still didn't give up on Li Rui, but now she was driven out by Li Rui, because Li Rui must hate her because of her drugging.

So she thought of asking the Crown Prince for help. It should be easier with his help. She also decided to go all out.

There is one more thing. She has to deal with An Muxi. This woman is Li Rui's favorite. As long as she is around, how can she get into Li Rui's heart?

When the prince arrived, Yin Qianqian quickly stood up and saluted.

The prince smiled warmly: "Miss Yin, there is no need to be so polite. Please stand up. Please take a seat."

Yin Qianqian stood up and sat down, looking like a lady from a noble family: "I have come here today to ask for help from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince was a little curious: "What does Miss Yin want me to do for you? Just tell me."

Yin Qianqian was a little shy, but still said: "I like His Royal Highness Prince Rui, but there was a misunderstanding between us, and now I have been kicked out of Prince Rui's Mansion.

I want to ask His Highness to help me enter the Prince Rui’s Palace.”

She knew that her father had private dealings with the prince, but she didn't know the details. Since her father said that she could ask the prince for help if she had any problems, she would not be polite.

The smile in the prince's eyes gradually faded. So that's what happened? Who does this woman think she is? She can't handle a man herself, but she still asks him for help!

What's more, that person was Li Rui, the person he hated the most. A feeling of anger gradually rose up in him. Then he thought that General Yin was secretly supporting him now, but why was his daughter a little confused?

But it seems like it would be a good idea to send her to Li Rui, maybe she could be useful in the future. So he smiled and said, "So that's the case, it's not impossible, but Li Rui already has a princess.

Logically speaking, with your background, if you find a family with a similar background, you will definitely be the main wife. If you enter the Rui Wang Mansion, you can only be a concubine. Are you sure you have made up your mind?"

When Yin Qianqian heard that there was a way, she nodded quickly and said, "I've made up my mind. I'm willing to be the concubine of Prince Rui."

The prince had a smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He hated and was jealous of Li Rui. It was fine that his father doted on him so much, but he himself was such an outstanding person, and yet Yin Qianqian actually begged him to bring her and Li Rui together!

It was a great shame and humiliation for him, as he was the crown prince of a country. Thinking of this, his eyes turned deep as he looked at Yin Qianqian.

Shouldn't I enjoy such a beautiful woman myself first?

"The Lantern Festival is three days from now, and there will be a banquet in the palace. I will have someone send you an invitation then. You should dress up nicely, and I will find a way to arrange a date between you and Li Rui on that day."
