Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

"Don't worry!" Song Zhende kissed Liu Meier on the lips. "My heart for you is as clear as day. For our future happiness, I have been scheming against Jiang Chunxi. That bitch Jiang Chunxi is just a tool we are using."

"Since she's just a tool, how could I possibly develop any feelings for her or feel any reluctance to part with her?"

"Hmph! That's more like it." Liu Meier was naturally very pleased with Song Zhende's flattery.

When Song Zhende brought Jiang Chunxi to the Princess Consort's courtyard, the Princess Consort and the Prince had already finished their breakfast and were waiting for the young couple to come and serve them tea.

It is worth mentioning that the Princess Consort of the City was quite remarkable. Of all the concubines of the City King, only the Princess Consort gave birth to a son, and two of the concubines gave birth to daughters.

This shows how powerful the Princess Consort was in controlling the Prince's offspring.

Of course! It's impossible to say that the Prince of the City didn't know that his wife controlled his offspring. After all, how could a prince born into the royal family not see through the schemes of the women in his harem?

However, the city king didn't care. In his mind, if a woman couldn't protect the child in her womb and give birth, then she was incompetent.

In any case, he wouldn't believe that the entire Prince Cheng's mansion was under the control of the Princess Cheng. He thought it was simply a pipe dream for a concubine to protect the child in her womb and give birth. He would only think that women were incompetent, and that even if they could give birth, it would be useless.

After all, how could a child born to an incompetent mother possibly be intelligent?

As for the two concubines who gave birth to daughters, it was naturally because they were Princess Cheng's people. Princess Cheng only reluctantly allowed them to give birth because they were carrying daughters.

Although Princess Consort Cheng controlled Prince Cheng's offspring, she didn't want to affect her reputation. If she was the only princess consort in Prince Cheng's household to give birth to a child, what would others say about her?

Therefore, it is very necessary to let the concubines give birth to children. In any case, as long as a concubine in the Prince Cheng's mansion gives birth to a child, even if outsiders know how powerful the Princess Cheng is, they will not be able to openly discuss her.

After drinking the tea served by Jiang Chunxi's wife, Prince Cheng left for the front courtyard. As soon as Prince Cheng left, Princess Cheng immediately proposed to hand over the management of the household affairs to Jiang Chunxi.

"Cough cough!" Jiang Chunxi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed. Song Zhende quickly picked up the hot water from the teacup on the table and gave it to her to drink, which stopped her coughing.

“Mother,” Jiang Chunxi said apologetically to Princess Cheng, “you know my frail health. I really don’t have the energy to manage the household affairs. Besides, my mother also told me that the most important thing after I marry into the Prince Cheng’s household is to take good care of my health. I must not get bogged down in trivial matters and be unable to take good care of myself.”

"So I shamelessly begged my mother to take pity on me and ask her to continue managing the household affairs."

“Chunxi,” Song Zhende spoke first before Princess Cheng could say anything, “You are the future mistress of the Cheng Prince’s Mansion. The management of the mansion will eventually be handed over to you. Besides, you don’t need to do everything yourself. With so many maids and stewards, you won’t be too tired.”

“I heard that your wet nurse is a very capable manager. Why don’t you bring her from your maiden home to Prince Cheng’s residence when you return to your parents’ home in three days?”

"Sigh!" Song Zhende sighed softly. "Over the years, Mother Consort has been working hard to manage the household affairs. Now that her daughter-in-law has finally come into the family, you should let Mother Consort relieve her of her burdens and enjoy a few days of peace and quiet."

“Yes, Chunxi,” Princess Cheng said with a kind smile, “I have been managing the household affairs for many years and I am no longer able to keep up. You can take over the management of the household affairs so that I can take this opportunity to recuperate.”

"So the entire Prince Cheng's mansion is determined to make me, a sickly person, do all the hard work!" Jiang Chunxi's face turned cold. "Song Zhende, you keep saying you love me and worry about my health, but now you're worried about your mother's health because she's managing the household affairs, but you don't care at all whether my sickly body will be overworked."

“And you, Mother Consort,” Jiang Chunxi looked at Princess Cheng, “your complexion is rosy and your blood and energy are so abundant. Standing next to you, I look even more like a sickly person who is about to die. Yet you ask me, someone who has one foot in the coffin, to work hard managing the household affairs, under the pretense that it is so that you, as your mother-in-law, can take good care of your health.”

"It's hilarious! It's obvious who needs to take care of their health, mother and daughter-in-law. But you two insist on making me take over the household management. You're clearly trying to drain me dry, and you wish I would die sooner."

"Now I can't help but wonder what you and your son are really up to."

"Princess Consort, how could you say such a thing? The Prince and the Princess..."

"Shut up," Jiang Chunxi interrupted Liu Meier's voice coldly. "It seems that the punishment I gave you last night was in vain. When the master is speaking, how dare a servant like you interrupt?"

"Guards! Drag her out and slap her!"

"Your Highness, I was wrong, please forgive me!" Liu Meier quickly knelt down.

“Chunxi, I know you’re angry, but this is Mother’s courtyard after all. Even if you want to punish me, you can’t do it in front of Mother!” Song Zhende naturally couldn’t just watch Liu Meier get beaten.

But he didn't know how to beg for Liu Meier's forgiveness, so he could only say this.

“Chunxi, I really didn’t expect that I only wanted to hand over the management of the household to you. It would cause you to have such a big misunderstanding,” Princess Cheng was very annoyed, but she had to suppress it. “Fine, fine. Since you are so unwilling to take over the management of the household, then I will just work hard for a while longer. Once you have recovered your health, you can take over the management of the household.”

"Sigh!" Princess Consort Cheng sighed. "In the end, the management of this mansion will still be handed over to you. After all, Zhende will be the one in charge of the Cheng Manor in the future, so you, as the heir consort, must take on the responsibility of being the mistress of the house."

"Let's talk about the future later!" Jiang Chunxi said sadly. "After all, with my frail health, I don't know if I only have a few years left to live, so..."

“Chunxi, I won’t allow you to say such things,” Song Zhende quickly interrupted Jiang Chunxi. “We’re going to be together for a lifetime. If you say such unlucky things, aren’t you tearing my heart out?”

Jiang Chunxi looked at Song Zhende with teary eyes: "I also want to be with you for a long, long time, but alas, my body is not strong enough!"
