Yi Xin as a concubine

"My dear, they are just some funny people to entertain you. If the Crown Princess likes it, you can accompany her. But after all, they are girls, who doesn't like to be coquettish? Let them clean up."

The prince naturally put his arms around Xin Huang'er's slender waist, seemingly coaxing her, but he was also helping the Crown Princess out of an awkward situation, as if to give both of them a slap on the wrist.

No matter what the prince meant, it didn't matter. What mattered was that he was the prince, and the two women had to save face for him, so they both obediently stopped talking.

At this point, the two groups officially separated. One group went to the main hall of the manor, and the other group went to the backyard to wash up.

When the prince and his men arrived at the main hall, a cup of tea had already been finished, and several girls slowly came in, but Xin Baoer was not among them.

The Crown Princess raised her eyes and looked at the girls, but did not see the person she wanted to see. A trace of anger appeared on her face, and she secretly shook her head slightly at the Crown Prince who was looking at her.

Seeing the Crown Princess shaking her head, the smile on the Crown Prince's face faded. He seemed to have lost control of the teacup and put it down heavily, making a crisp sound like porcelain colliding.

Seeing this, everyone in the hall behaved in a cautious manner, as if they were really scared or just pretending. As to whether they were really scared or just pretending, everyone knew their own business.

The prince seemed very satisfied with the result. He then chuckled and continued talking to the masters as if nothing had happened just now.

When the Crown Prince saw that he had already started talking about serious matters, the Crown Princess tactfully led the female relatives out of the main hall.

About half an hour later, the prince left the main hall contentedly, and walked away leisurely with his two beloved concubines, who were not on good terms with him in appearance and even more so in heart.

The three masters of the Xin family who followed had very unhappy expressions on their faces, but they still respectfully saw the prince and his entourage off.

"You bastard, your appetite is getting bigger and bigger. On the one hand, you're plotting against the girl in your family, and on the other hand, you're asking for too much. It's really despicable." Master Xin was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

"Brother, what do you think about this?" Master Xin was also very unwilling, but he still cautiously asked his eldest brother's opinion first.

Master Xin did not say anything, but only let out a deep breath after a long time.

"Sister Huang and the two children are still in the East Palace."

This one sentence expressed all the helplessness, and the second and third masters were instantly deflated.

As soon as the prince left, everyone lost the mood to travel, so they hastily ended today's itinerary and got on the carriage to return to the city.

The head of the village finally had a chance to show himself in front of his master, but gave up halfway. Looking at the leftovers all over the yard, he was filled with resentment and helplessness.

Of course, a small figure like him naturally didn't dare to scold the prince openly, but that didn't stop him from having a small crush on the prince in his heart.

The group came with high hopes but left disappointed.

When the carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion, the masters who had gone out in the morning in bright and beautiful clothes returned home with pale and disgusted looks.

The servants who stayed behind in the mansion were shocked and imagined a life-and-death drama in which they encountered the gangsters on the road, experienced a narrow escape and finally escaped from the tiger's mouth.

As soon as they returned to the mansion, the three masters and three ladies of the Xin family went directly to the large study room in the outer courtyard, obviously to discuss something important. Seeing this, others naturally did not dare to disturb them. The concubines grabbed their own children and went back to their rooms in an orderly manner.

Xin Baoer glanced in the direction of the big study, and knowing that she could not help much, she returned to her own courtyard with a dejected look.

In the study.

The six people sat opposite each other in pairs, and no one spoke for a while. Finally, the impatient Second Master couldn't help but speak first.

"Brother, you have to come up with some rules, right? You can't just let that bastard bully us like this!" Because he was too angry, his sleeve knocked over the teacup, and tea stains stained his body.

The second wife quickly got up to wipe her husband's face, and did not forget to say a few words of comfort to him. However, seeing that her husband was so angry that he would not listen at all, she simply shut up.

"Money is a small matter. Sister Huang is always a hidden danger. I think the prince's purpose is not as simple as it seems. He seems to be testing us." The Third Master put down the teacup, a gleam in his eyes, and slowly spit out his speculation.

"Probing? The Xin family has been helping him make money over the years without complaint. The accounts are clear and transparent, and we have never done anything against his will. He used Sister Huang as a hostage, and we have always been cautious. There is no place for him to test us."

When the eldest lady thought of her second daughter, she couldn't help but feel distressed, and her tone of voice was filled with anger.

The third master and the eldest master looked at each other and saw what was going on in each other's eyes.

"I think it's because of Bao Er. He felt that we were just brushing him off. Plus, the Crown Princess was instigating...

It is well known that the current ruler is fond of beauty. All the court officials and princes want to please him and are looking for beautiful women everywhere.

This year, the once-in-three-years autumn selection of beauties has come again, and there is not much time left until the selection day. At this juncture, it was revealed that there is a beautiful woman in my family, but we hid her and did not tell him. With his penny-pinching and stubborn character, how can he not be suspicious? "

Master Xin slowly explained the reason for his guess, and Master Xin nodded in agreement.

"What about Bao girl? She's going to be a 15-year-old girl soon, and it's just before the autumn election. It's impossible to hide it even if we want to! What should we do?"

The third wife, Madam Miao, was the first to react, and then she expressed worry.

"We can sacrifice anyone when necessary, but not Baoyatou. If we really do something ungrateful like that, how will we face our ancestors a hundred years later?"

The master's voice was full of majesty and undignified.

"Of course, big brother doesn't need to tell me this. We don't have that kind of villain in our family, but what should we do now?

A lot of money has been sent over the years. We can't fatten up the enemy, or else it will hurt our own people, right?"

The second brother also calmed down now and couldn't help asking about the method to break the impasse. He has always been able to recognize himself and knew that his brain was not enough, but he could follow orders and guaranteed to hit wherever he was told without any hesitation.

"In fact, it's not that there is no solution. There's no need to make a big fuss. We'll give you the money as you want, but we have to put forward a condition: remove Baoyatou's name from the list of candidates for the autumn election."

"Third brother, are you going crazy? This is no different from throwing a meat dumpling at a dog.

Firstly, we already knew about the list in secret. If we bring it up openly to negotiate terms, wouldn't it make him more suspicious of us?

Secondly, his place is a bottomless pit to begin with. He will be given as much as he wants. If we give him everything, what will we do over there?"

Before the Third Master could finish his words, the Second Master spoke up to refute him.

"When will you change your impatient temper? The third brother hasn't finished speaking yet, can't you wait?" Master Xin was waiting for the third master to continue when he was interrupted by the impatient second brother. He was so angry that he started scolding him.

Under the absolute blood pressure from his eldest brother, Second Master Xin shut up obediently. Then First Master Xin nodded in satisfaction and motioned Third Master to continue.

“We can give the money and we must set conditions, but when to give it and when to set conditions is up to us.

If I remember correctly, after the autumn election comes the Wanshou Festival, and people are extravagant these days. If a rare item were to appear in the world, which would be perfect for celebrating the birthday, do you think the prince would be able to grab it?"

Smart people don't need to say everything, those who understand can understand. People like Erye, who are not so smart, will understand it after thinking a few more times.

It doesn't matter whether the rare item is real or fake. As long as you want to please the one above you, you will definitely grab it. As long as the Xin family gets the item for him, the money will go around and return to the Xin family.

If conditions are raised at the most critical moment before getting the things, the prince will most likely agree given his temperament. The Xin family can then pretend to be pitiful and humble to satisfy his perverted desire for power, and great things can be accomplished!

"That's great, Third Brother. When it comes to conspiracy and tricks, you're the best!" Second Master finally figured out the key and couldn't help but praise Third Master.

However, the person being praised did not feel the joy of being praised at all. He looked at his second brother speechlessly and said with a fake smile: "Thank you so much for your praise, little brother."

As he said this, he pretended to bow to his second brother, which made everyone in the room, who had originally had serious expressions, laugh.

"Now that we have a plan for this matter, the most difficult thing is our precious girl's marriage!"

The eldest lady's words instantly brought several people back to their original state, and at the same time, a not-so-polite word appeared in their minds: "What a spoilsport."
