Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

"Madame Wang, please get up. I believe in you." Concubine Xu said softly.

Nanny Wang was secretly delighted, thinking that she had really fooled herself.

"Thank you, Madam Concubine, for your trust."

Concubine Xu turned her gaze to the other people, "And you guys, you are all the people I trust the most. What you have done really disappoints me!"

"Your Highness, please calm down. We know we were wrong and will never do it again! Please spare our lives, Your Highness." Several people kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"If I didn't want to protect you, I would have handed you over to Ji Chuhe! This time, considering that this is your first offense, I will give you a chance to reform. If you dare to do anything to let me down again, I will never let you off easily!"

"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your grace!" Several people kowtowed again.

"Get up." Concubine Xu raised her hand.

She was extremely worried.

There was no one in the entire palace that she could trust.

Soon, the princess and Ji Chuhe will definitely use various reasons to send people to her. What’s the point of her living under surveillance all day long?

She must not let this happen!

Concubine Xu returned to the inner room and opened a secret compartment on the bed, where a stack of letters lay.

Even the people closest to her don't know these things.

Because this is a secret that must not be known to anyone.

As she flipped through the letters, a hint of tenderness appeared on her wrinkled face.

……

The third day of the prince’s hunger strike.

In the evening, Ji Chuhe came to Mo Garden with a stack of information.

When Tianxi and Cifu saw her, it was as if they had seen the Bodhisattva Guanyin, who saves people from suffering.

"Madam, the prince has not had a drop of water for three days. Please persuade him to eat something. He is still injured and will not be able to bear it if he continues like this."

"Go prepare some porridge and some light and easily digestible dishes first, but not too much." Ji Chuhe instructed softly.

"Yes!" The two of them immediately went to prepare.

Ji Chuhe walked into the house and found that the windows were tightly closed again.

She walked up and opened the window.

The light came into the house along with a refreshing breeze.

Xiao Yanan, who had kept his eyes closed, opened them unhappily.

Ji Chuhe stood in front of the window, with her back to him, breathing the fresh air.

"Ji Chuhe, haven't you been educated? Don't you know the basic principles of being a human being? I told you that you are not allowed to enter Mo Garden without my permission. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Although Xiao Yanan's words were harsh, they were weak and had no effect.

"The prince has also received education, but isn't he still disloyal and unfilial?" Ji Chuhe retorted.

Xiao Yan'an choked and turned away from looking at her.

Ji Chuhe walked up to him and continued, "In public, you took on the duty of recruiting soldiers, but you neglected your duties, which is considered disloyalty. In private, your body and hair were given by your parents, but you actually abused your body like this, which is considered unfilial. Am I wrong?"

"I know you are here to persuade me. Don't waste your time. If mother doesn't agree to my taking Yan'er as a concubine, I will never compromise."

"Even if you starve to death?" Ji Chuhe asked.

"Yes! Even if I starve to death!"

"Miss Yan'er is so pitiful. She has lost the prince. How will she live in the future? She might be married off by her heartless family to an old and lustful man, or spend the rest of her life with that pervert Zhao Kang."

"Ji Chuhe! Shut up!" Xiao Yan'an shouted with all his strength.

"See, honest advice is unpleasant to the ear, and the prince doesn't like to hear it, but what I said is the truth."

Xiao Yanan could only sulk.

"Prince, it's no good just asking for things, even if it's from your own parents. Instead of fighting pointlessly like you did, it's better to offer enough conditions to exchange."

"What conditions?" Xiao Yan'an's eyes lit up.

Ji Chuhe handed the information in his hand to Xiao Yan'an. "I asked someone to go to the government office to get this. It contains all kinds of materials related to the military service reform in the past few days. If the prince can do a good job in the military service reform, he will be qualified to negotiate with the prince and princess. In a nutshell, a good blacksmith must have strong tools himself. If the prince has the ability to be independent, he will have the ability to control his own destiny. Otherwise..."

Ji Chuhe paused.

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise, it's just three-year-old tricks like this."

"You!" Xiao Yan'an secretly clenched his fists. He was not very angry, but felt a little embarrassed and ashamed.

He sat up slowly. Not only was there a sharp pain in the wound on his back, but he also felt dizzy due to the hunger strike and was gasping for breath due to weakness.

In such a situation, it would be difficult for him to keep his seat, let alone read the information.

"If you want to read this information, you may need to eat something first to regain some strength."

Xiao Yanan couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

He didn't say a word, like a stubborn and willful child.

"Tianxi, bring some food to the prince."

Tian Xi walked in happily carrying food, and Ci Fu carried a small table in his hand and placed it on the bed. The two of them quickly placed the food on the table.

Xiao Yanan looked at these light foods and felt a little moved.

Ji Chuhe is really annoying.

But, she is also really sweet.

But he wouldn't like her.

He will never like her in this life!

Ji Chuhe didn't say another word, but waited silently for Xiao Yan'an to eat.

After finishing his meal, Xiao Yan'an regained some strength. He asked someone to clear away the dishes and chopsticks, and then he looked at the documents on the table.

After reading this, there was only shock in his eyes.

"Ji Chuhe, how did you come up with these strategies?" He was still a little skeptical.

"If I were a man, it wouldn't be a problem even if I became a high-ranking official in the future, right?" Ji Chuhe asked back.

Xiao Yan'an opened his mouth and didn't react for a long time.

"Why do you keep trying to match me up with Yan'er? Do you have any purpose? Ji Chuhe, I'm telling you clearly, there's no way we can develop as you think. You're not my type, so don't waste your time."

"Your Highness, you are worrying too much. I have said before that I only want the position of the Crown Prince's wife, and I want to be as comfortable as possible in this position."

"I can tolerate the prince and Miss Xu being together, and I don't care even if the prince takes in a few more concubines and pampers them. As long as they abide by the rules of the palace and covet the prince, and don't covet my position, I can forgive them."

"I will treat all illegitimate sons and daughters equally. I will select one who is capable of taking on the important task and register him under my name. The Crown Prince will not be short of legitimate sons either."

Ji Chuhe took a long breath after finishing speaking, "Prince, we are nominally husband and wife, and we will be together for a very long time. I hope that our relationship is not just a loving one, but a happy cooperation."
