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

Xu Yan'er snorted coldly, not taking Dong Ling's provocation seriously at all.

"Dong Ling, what's the point of you becoming a concubine by marrying the prince's wife? Has the prince ever even looked at you? From the beginning to the end, there is only me in the prince's heart. You will face the fate of being out of favor and childless in the future. Just endure the fate of living in the palace for the rest of your life!"

What Dong Ling feared most was being unloved and childless. Xu Yan'er touched on her sore spot, but she could only grit her teeth in secret.

Who made Xu Yan'er the only one favored by the prince?

Fortunately, the mistress is kind and her life is not too bad now.

"Mrs. Xu, you still have to serve tea to the Madam, so don't waste time here, or you will be suspected of being disrespectful to the Madam. You are a concubine now, and the most important thing for us as concubines is to recognize our own status."

After Dong Ling finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

Xu Yan'er was still angry and tripped Dong Ling with her foot.

Dong Ling was caught off guard and fell forward out of control, falling into the flowers beside her.

"Oh, Aunt Dong, why are you so careless? It's getting late. I have to go serve tea. You can crawl out slowly by yourself." Xu Yan'er pretended to be reserved and tidied up her hair at the temples, then left with a smile.

This was a bush of thorny flowers, and Dong Ling climbed up with difficulty with the help of her maid.

Not only were her clothes and hair damaged by the thorny branches, but she also had several scars on her cheeks.

I raised my hand and touched my cheek, and the wound was already bleeding!

However, she was not very angry, instead there was a hint of a triumphant smile in her eyes.

"Aunt, the wound on your face is bleeding. Shall we go back and take care of it?"

"I'm going to Liuhua Palace to wait for my lady!" Dong Ling said with great grievance.

The palace has its own rules, and this time it was Xu Yan'er who took action first. She wanted to see if the lady dared to punish Xu Yan'er at the risk of offending the prince.

As long as Madam punished Xu Yan'er and dampened her arrogance, she would also be able to vent her anger.

……

Inside Changning Palace.

Ji Chuhe and the princess have already arrived.

Concubine Xu did not put on airs like before. She came out early, wanting to see Ji Chuhe make a fool of herself.

Xu Yan'er's entry into the mansion as a concubine made her feel like she had turned the tables.

Didn't the princess disagree? She compromised.

What else can Ji Chuhe do besides being a housekeeper? Will the prince even look at her?

She must satirize these two people today!

Concubine Xu was sitting in the main seat. Just as she was about to speak, Ji Chuhe's voice rang out first.

"Mrs. Dowager, how have you been feeling these past two days? Are you feeling better than before?"

Concubine Xu could only hold back what she wanted to say and replied to Ji Chuhe indifferently, "Much better."

"Does the Concubine have the habit of exercising on a daily basis? When people get older, it will be good for their health if they can exercise appropriately." Ji Chuhe suggested sincerely.

"You want to torture this old bone of mine, don't you?" the concubine asked unhappily.

"The activities I'm talking about aren't the kind of activities that the Toffee has in mind, such as strolling around the garden. It's just a matter of speeding up the pace a little more than usual. How about when I stroll around the garden tonight, I ask the Toffee to join me?"

"No need, I can just walk around Changning Palace by myself." Concubine Xu was so annoyed that she really wanted to shut Ji Chuhe's mouth!

How can you be so talkative? You don't even give others a chance to speak!

"Then your Majesty, please remember to speed up your pace and sweat a little." Ji Chuhe was still kindly advising.

"I know! Ji Chuhe, don't just think about me. You have been married into the mansion for so long, but the prince has not yet married you..."

The princess looked displeased when she heard these words.

Unexpectedly, Ji Chuhe's voice sounded again, interrupting the concubine's words directly.

"Your Highness, the hairpin you wear today is so beautiful. It makes you look so radiant." Ji Chuhe praised with amazement in her eyes.

Concubine Xu's mind was blank, as if she was being controlled by Ji Chuhe. She forgot what she was about to say and touched the hairpin on her head awkwardly.

The next moment, she realized her action and quickly put her hand down.

"Your Highness, let me say something extremely disrespectful. If you stand further away and look at me from behind, my posture will be just like that of an eighteen-year-old young girl!" Ji Chuhe became more and more outrageous.

Anyway, as long as she can shut Concubine Xu's mouth, she can say anything that goes against her conscience.

Concubine Xu's face actually gradually turned a little red. "What nonsense are you talking about!" The reproachful words lacked their usual fierceness.

The princess was trying hard to hold back her laughter, but it was very uncomfortable.

In the past, she had always heard Nanny Si talk about the duel between He'er and the Concubine Dowager, but this time, she saw it with her own eyes.

It was even more exciting than what she had heard, and the Toffee was captured in just a few words.

When Xu Yan'er walked in, Concubine Xu had not yet found the right to speak.

Once she arrived, Concubine Xu had no chance to speak again.

As soon as Xu Yan'er arrived here, she immediately behaved herself. She was still a little scared in her heart. If only the prince was here, she would just hide behind him.

No matter what storms come, the prince will protect her.

"Yan'er pays her respects to the Queen Mother, the Princess, and the Crown Prince's wife." Xu Yan'er walked forward and bowed politely.

The concubine was just about to ask her to excuse herself when she heard the voice of Nanny Si.

"Mrs. Xu, look at the time now. You were supposed to offer tea to the Concubine Dowager, the Princess, and the Madam, but you've been late for so long!"

"I was really too tired last night, so Yan'er will take some time." Xu Yan'er explained, then lowered her head shyly.

"She worked hard serving the prince last night, so it is understandable that she stayed up late." Concubine Xu immediately tried to smooth things over.

After saying that, she looked towards Ji Chuhe.

Ji Chuhe must be feeling bad, right? She didn't believe any woman could remain indifferent to the woman her husband liked, without feeling aggrieved or jealous.

"The Concubine Dowager is right. Aunt Xu should get up first. Aunt Si, please prepare the tea. After drinking this cup of concubine's tea, Aunt Xu can go back to rest earlier." Ji Chuhe's voice sounded indifferent.

Concubine Xu really wanted to roll her eyes!

This Ji Chuhe is really good at pretending. He is even more patient than a thousand-year-old turtle!

Nanny Si prepared the tea and Xu Yan'er toasted to Concubine Xu first.

Concubine Xu took the tea and gave some food to the owner.

"You must serve the prince well in the future and have children for him as soon as possible."

"Yes." Xu Yan'er responded immediately.

He turned around, took the second cup of tea and served it to the princess.

The princess gave a piece of outdated jewelry.

"Since you have entered the mansion as a concubine, you must always remember your status. If you disobey the rules, become arrogant, or disrespect the mistress, I will never forgive you!"

"Yes." Xu Yan'er responded immediately.

It was Ji Chuhe's turn to serve tea, and the reward Ji Chuhe prepared was the same as Dong Ling's.

However, it is also the most valuable of the three rewards.
