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

"This is a little specialty of our Tianyue Country. It's just a token of our appreciation. Please don't despise it, Your Highness Prince Rui."

Li Rui took the wooden box expressionlessly. He was curious about what was inside. When he opened it, he saw a crystal clear jade-colored gemstone hand-held ornament.

He knew that this was a kind of gem that was produced in abundance in Tianyue Country, and this one should be the best one among them.

This handle is carved with a Pixiu, about half the size of a fist. It is rare to see such a large and good-quality handle.

But as the prince of Tiansheng Kingdom, he has seen good things before, and he is also rich enough to rival a country, so there is no need for him to accept this gift.

So he closed the lid of the box, pushed the box in front of Dai Meng, and said calmly: "Since the princess and Xi'er both like you and are willing to take you to their house for a short stay, then I have no objection. Princess Crown Princess, there is no need to be so polite."

Dai Meng felt that Li Rui was too cold. Her Prince An was better. He was not as cold as this guy.

Dai Meng did not take the wooden box back. She smiled at Li Rui and said, "Your Highness Prince Rui, you don't have to be polite to me. If you don't like it, you can give it to anyone. Except Concubine Xu."

"Maybe we'll become good friends who help each other in the future, right?"

Li Rui glanced at Dai Meng coldly. It’s not that he didn’t understand what Dai Meng meant, but now is not the time to consider those things.

"Some things can be discussed after the Crown Princess has secured her position."

Dai Meng was startled, then smiled: "Okay, I owe you a favor this time. I'll remember it."

After saying that, Dai Meng got up and walked out. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a nasty woman standing at the door.

Xu Wanying got up early in the morning and heard from her maid that Li Rui had returned, so she hurried over to visit Li Rui.

As a result, she saw the door of Lingfeng Pavilion opened, and the woman who was staying with the princess walked out. Through the crack in the door, she saw Li Rui in pajamas with his hair loose.

Her eyes instantly turned red. She looked at Dai Meng with hatred and said in a bad tone: "I knew you came to Prince Rui's Mansion just to get into bed!"

Dai Meng: ???

Doesn’t this silly woman think that she was with Li Rui last night?

She sneered and said, "If you are sick, go get treatment!"

Then she left with her maid, but Xu Wanying kept chasing after her.

"Look at your coquettish look and the revealing clothes you wear all day long. I know you are not a good person. Our prince will not be attracted to you. At most, he will use you as a bed warmer."

Sang Zhi couldn't stand it any longer and shouted angrily, "How dare you! Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you shout in front of our master!"

Dai Meng deliberately let her talk, waiting to slap her in the face later, so he pulled Sang Zhi to stop her from continuing.

"Let's go. Don't bother with this kind of person. She wants to get into bed with him, but Li Rui doesn't want her."

Dai Meng knew about Xu Wanying because An Muxi told her, so she teased Xu Wanying on purpose just to amuse herself.

People in the palace respected her on the surface, but in fact she could not find out any of the palace's confidential matters.

She didn't even figure out Dai Meng's identity, yet she was still provoking her every day.

Xu Wanying angrily said: "Then I am also the prince's concubine, which is a hundred times better than you who are having an affair without a matchmaker!"

Dai Meng was really speechless. This Concubine Xu was really incompetent and furious. Let her misunderstand.

At this time, Xu Wanying screamed in pain, covered her mouth with both hands, and blood flowed out from between her fingers.

When she opened her palm, she saw a front tooth and a stone in it. Her mouth was full of blood, as if she had eaten a dead child.

She burst into tears and then started yelling like crazy: "Who the hell hit me with a stone? Stand up!"

She glanced around and saw a tall figure appear in front of her. The man folded his arms and looked at him coldly.

It was Dai Meng's coachman and also her personal bodyguard, Ajiang. Xu Wanying looked at him with a ferocious expression.

"Did you hit me with a stone? It must be you! Both you and your servant are not good people!

I'm going to tell the prince that you bullied the concubine of Prince Rui's mansion, wait for the prince to punish you!"

This time she guessed correctly. Just now, Ajiang heard her yelling and just picked up a stone and threw it at her. Her master was not someone that a woman could casually accuse.

Dai Meng and his servants all know martial arts, and their skills are quite strong, otherwise they would not have survived until now despite being hunted down by so many enemies along the way.

Ajiang knew that his master was just being funny and deliberately not revealing his identity, nor did he take any action to deal with her. He just felt too lazy to deal with such a weakling.

But he didn't want to hear anyone dare to insult Dai Meng like this.

Xu Wanying was so angry. She was considered a master in Prince Rui's mansion, but she was bullied by this outsider who climbed the wall.

This time she was right, the prince would definitely not side with outsiders, right? So she rushed to Li Rui's door angrily and asked Jianying to report.

Jianying was really furious. The prince was already very unhappy because the Crown Princess had disturbed his sleep, and now this Concubine Xu was going to do it again.

He had actually seen clearly what had just happened from outside, and it was Concubine Xu's fault.

He said with great embarrassment: "Concubine, why don't you go back first? The prince didn't get enough rest last night and just went to bed. I will notify you when he wakes up."

When Concubine Xu heard this, she exploded: "The prince didn't get a good rest because of that vixen, and her guards even hit me.

Go and inform them for me. They have bullied the Rui Wang Mansion, the prince can't just ignore it."

Jianying sighed silently and had no choice but to go in and report again.

After a while, even outsiders could hear Li Rui's roar, "Get out!"

Jianying came out silently, closed the door, and then said to Xu Wanying with a grim expression: "Your Majesty, please go back."

Xu Wanying also heard the shout "get out" and felt as if someone was rubbing her face on the ground. She ran back crying.

Dai Meng was bored, so he stood by and watched the whole show. He sneered, got on the sedan chair and returned to the side hall of Wangyue Pavilion.

I really don’t know what Concubine Li in Tiansheng Palace was thinking. She actually sent such a brainless woman into Prince Rui’s Mansion.

When An Muxi woke up, it was already time for dinner in the afternoon. Several maids knew that she had worked hard last night, so they prepared several delicious dishes for her.

An Muxi and the maids had dinner happily, and then checked on the students' learning progress. Seeing that everyone was very motivated, she was very satisfied.

This week she was quite busy treating Dai Meng. She went out once to the bookstore and received another 400 taels of dividends. Now she has saved 1,200 taels of silver.

Now that she was one step closer to her goal, she was happily thinking about her worries.

At this time Jianying came over with a tray. This time they went to the southwest to find medicine. Thanks to the anti-poison sachets given by An Muxi, and An Muxi saved Jianfeng.

So he was quite grateful to An Muxi. He politely said to An Muxi, "This is something the prince asked me to give you."

After saying that, he put his things down, bowed and left.

Several maids gathered around.

Xiaoqin asked curiously, "Master, what are these? There are so many boxes, but I only recognize these three pieces of cloth, which seem to be Shu brocade, right?"

The other maids all praised: "The prince is so kind to the master, this fabric looks very luxurious."

Xiaoyun asked, "I wonder what's in the box?"

An Muxi didn't expect that Li Rui would actually think of giving her a gift, so she opened a few boxes out of curiosity.

Then there were a lot of exclamations. One of the boxes contained a pair of top-quality jade bracelets, which were actually the ones I had stolen from the Prince's Mansion last time. Another box contained a string of pearl bracelets.

There was also a box with a jadeite bead flower inside. There was also the gemstone hand-held ornament that Dai Meng gave me, and even a top-quality Duan inkstone. There was also a double-sided embroidered fan.

An Muxi was stunned. Did that guy collect these things along the way? Each one has its own local characteristics and is also very valuable.

Several maids were chattering about which one was the prettiest, but An Muxi remained silent.

There is no woman who doesn't like this kind of gift, but she always feels guilty about it. Because it represents Li Rui's feelings, she dare not accept it.
