Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Mrs. Jiang started to complain as soon as she opened her mouth. Liang Yingxue frowned slightly at her rude look.

But she still has to maintain her family's reputation.

"Who is so bold as to rob our room?"

"That's them."

Following Mrs. Jiang's gaze, when they saw the person clearly, Liang Zhongcai and Liang Yingxue were so scared that their legs went limp and they quickly knelt on the ground.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Qi."

"Please forgive me, Lord Qi."

"Prince Qi?" Jiang Chubai was stunned. He never expected that the man in front of him was the famous Prince Qi.

Prince Qi is the second son of the current emperor. He is both talented in civil and military affairs. He started fighting on the battlefield at the age of twelve. He has made great military achievements and is respected by all the people.

How could he be a prince? But how could Liang Zhongcai, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, make a mistake?

"Why don't you quickly apologize to the prince?"

After his scolding, Jiang Chubai finally reacted. He quickly knelt on the ground and spoke tremblingly.

"Your Highness, please spare me. I am sorry for what I did to you. I know I was wrong."

He remembered what Xie Junyi had just said about knelt down and admitted his mistake, and his face felt burning with pain. He didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be for offending the prince.

"Your Highness?" Mrs. Jiang Wei rolled her eyes and fainted.

……

"You don't seem very happy knowing my identity?"

Xie Junyi felt helpless as he looked at Meng Xiyue, who was concentrating on eating and not saying a word.

If other women knew he was a prince, they would probably celebrate with firecrackers, but she looked so sad.

"I just feel that I am not qualified to be your maid."

Meng Xiyue lowered her eyes, thinking that the prince would not be able to leave the capital at will, and her dream of traveling around the world with him was shattered.

"If the king says you are qualified, then you are qualified."

Xie Junyi picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl, "I'll take you back to the palace after you finish eating."

It was not until she arrived outside Prince Qi's mansion that Meng Xiyue realized what a truly wealthy and powerful family was.

There were two tall and mighty stone lions at the door, and the vermilion door was carved with exquisite cloud patterns. The three gold-plated characters "Qi Wang Fu" at the top were written by the emperor himself.

Even these steps are several steps higher than those in other mansions.

As you enter the mansion, you will see various pavilions, towers, rockery and waterside terraces.

"My Lord, you are back?"

A neatly dressed woman in a dark purple gown came over and bowed to greet him.

"This is Nanny Ji, also my prince's wet nurse."

Xie Junyi introduced them, and then said to Nanny Ji, "This is Miss Meng. Nanny, please clean up Mengxi Garden and let Miss Meng stay here."

"Mengxi Garden?" Nanny Ji was obviously stunned for a moment, then agreed.

"Yes."

"Thank you for your hard work, mama."

Meng Xiyue said, "Where does your...lord live?"

"I'm at Qiu Jing Xuan over there. I'll take you there."

After saying that, Xie Junyi took Meng Xiyue's hand and walked inside.

Nanny Ji was standing behind them, looking at the two clasped hands with her eyes wide open.

Then his eyes darkened and he turned and left.

"Are you the only master in this mansion?"

Meng Xiyue saw this huge palace and found it was not as lively as her Meng family.

The servants were like dumb people. Seeing them being so respectful, they just lowered their heads and worked.

The entire palace gave her the feeling of a magnificent prison.

"You come in, you just have one more master."

Meng Xiyue was startled, then after understanding what he meant, she replied, "I'm a maid."

"Okay, then you will be my personal maid and will only serve me from now on."

As he was speaking, a beautiful lady came in carrying a tray.

"Your Highness, this is the tea I just made for you."

"Well, leave it there."

When the beauty put the tea down, she glanced at Meng Xiyue, her eyes faintly revealing a bit of scrutiny.

After pouring the tea, he retreated, and every move was very polite.

"It seems that the prince has quite a few personal maids." Meng Xiyue spoke with a hint of jealousy that she herself was not aware of.

"She is Yin Wumei, the second daughter of Jingzhao Yin. She used to be a lady-in-waiting in my mother's palace. When I came out to build my own palace, my mother gave her to me."

"What is her status in the mansion?"

"Status?" Xie Junyi raised an eyebrow. "She is considered a female official in the palace. She and Nanny Ji are mainly in charge of all matters, big and small, in Prince Qi's palace."

"Then isn't she similar to your princess?"

"Princess? Even if she's a concubine, she's not qualified."

This sentence of "not qualified" did not make Meng Xiyue happy. Even the legitimate daughter of Jingzhao Yin was not qualified to be a concubine, so who was she?

"I'm tired, let's go back and rest first."

"Well, let's go."

Seeing her lonely back as she left, Xie Junyi resisted the urge to chase after her.

He must make her realize her position. He can pamper her and love her, but she cannot covet a position that does not belong to her.

Being able to be his concubine is something that many young ladies in the capital dream of, so she should be happy.

Leave her alone for a day and try to coax her tomorrow.

Mengxi Garden is three courtyards away from Qiujingxuan, which is neither close nor far.

But unlike the exquisiteness and splendor of Qiujingxuan, Mengxi Garden can only be described as clean and elegant.

"Hello young lady, I am Zhiyue, the maid sent by the prince to serve you."

A girl with two buns and a cute round face leaned over and saluted Meng Xiyue.

"Hello, where is my room? I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while."

"Miss, come with me."

After walking through the corridor, Zhiyue brought Meng Xiyue to the innermost room.

When she walked in, Meng Xiyue was a little dumbfounded. The outside of the yard was elegant, but the furnishings inside the house were too exquisite.

There was a sandalwood chaise longue, a white porcelain vase, luminous pearls for lighting, and the dressing table was filled with jewelry.

“When were these things prepared?”

"The prince sent a message back to the palace yesterday, and the servants began to prepare for the young lady."

Meng Xiyue was somewhat touched when she thought that he had arranged accommodation for her despite his busy schedule.

“These are too expensive.”

Any ornament is priceless. Meng Xiyue is afraid that it will be stolen if placed here.

"It's nothing. The prince has ordered that the best be prepared. Time is tight, and many clothes and headgear have not been delivered yet. When they are delivered tomorrow, you can take a look at them and see if they are suitable."

"The prince really cares about the girl."

"Thank you for your hard work."

This yard was supposed to be uninhabited originally. It was cleaned up so well in just one day. It must have been without any rest.

"You're welcome, young lady. This is what we should do."

After Zhiyue left, Qianxiang couldn't help but scream.

“Miss, Lord Yan is actually the prince. We are moving into the palace.”

Yes, the prince who only appeared in this storybook was actually met by her in real life.

"Asaka, I want to get out of here as soon as possible."

"What's wrong, young lady? Didn't we just arrive in the capital?"

Meng Xiyue lowered her eyes, "This is not a place for us to stay for long."
