Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

"Sister Yin."

Ji Nianyin stopped Yin Wumei and asked, "What is your Highness going to do with Meng Xiyue?"

"The prince instructed that she is a distinguished guest in the mansion and that we must not make her unhappy."

"Dignified guest?"

Ji Nianyin frowned, "Sister Yin, does the prince want to take her as a concubine?"

"The prince said that he would not take a concubine before the principal wife came into the family. This is to give face to the future Princess Qi."

Yin Wumei said in a deep voice that these words were said by Prince Qi when the Queen intended to make her a concubine.

"The prince always keeps his word and will not go back on his word. Before the principal concubine comes into the house, no one can have the face to do so."

"Sister Yin is right. With you here, this palace will not be in chaos."

Yin Wumei glanced at Jin Yiyin and said, "She is getting too proud of her favor now, so you should stop trying to make her unhappy."

"I know. A woman as rude as her, with nothing but beauty, will soon bore the prince. She is no match for Sister Yin."

Hearing this, Yin Wumei's brows showed a little joy. The whole capital knew that she was Prince Qi's person, and with the support of the Queen, she naturally did not take Meng Xiyue seriously.

She is now waiting for the principal wife to enter the palace so that she can have a formal status.

"But I can win the favor of the prince just by my looks, so you have to work harder, sister."

Yin Wumei's words made Ji Nianyin's face turn pale.

In this mansion, everyone knows that Yin Wumei will be the future master, but he himself is not sure.

She had shown it very clearly, but the prince did not make any statement. In the past, she thought that the prince was pure and had few desires.

But now that the prince has brought Meng Xiyue back, she can't wait any longer. She is old enough and if she waits any longer she will become old and ugly.

As for Meng Xiyue, her good mood for the day was ruined by those two women.

She knew very well that those two people were deliberately trying to assert their sovereignty in front of her.

Xie Junyi doesn't have a concubine, but he has many female confidantes in his mansion. This rich man is just a bad guy.

When Xie Junyi returned home and arrived at Mengxi Garden, he was stopped outside the gate.

"The lady has fallen asleep."

Asaka lowered her head and stood outside the door with gritted teeth.

Xie Junyi frowned, "It's still early."

"Miss, you've been out all day and want to rest early."

Xie Junyi didn't say anything else, just looked at the brightly lit room in silence.

Asaka felt the pressure coming from in front of her and her whole body was trembling.

She is now rebelling against the prince. She really thinks her life is too long, but she cannot disobey the young lady's words.

May the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva bless this believer to survive. In the future, I will definitely eat vegetarian food, recite Buddhist scriptures, and do more good deeds.

I don’t know if the Bodhisattva heard her words, but Xie Junyi handed him the thing in his hand, said nothing, and turned and left.

Asaka leaned against the door, gasping for breath. She survived.

She turned and walked into the room, looking at Meng Xiyue who was sitting by the window, and said sadly, "Miss, can you please not let me do such dangerous work in the future?"

"What are you afraid of? You're going to accompany me to travel the world in the future. How can I take you with you if you don't have such little courage?"

"I feel that the sword is not as scary as the prince's eyes."

She was so scared that she didn't even dare to look up.

"What do you have in your hand?"

Qianxiang then realized that the prince had just given her something, "This is what the prince gave me, it seems to be a snack."

"bring here."

Meng Xiyue opened the snack and found that it was filled with various types of snacks, more than ten kinds.

When she saw the word "Imperial" on the dim sum, she knew it was made by the imperial chef of the palace.

She once said that she wanted to try the royal chef's cooking, but she didn't expect that he still remembered it.

One piece of each, the imperial chef must have been very busy.

The snacks are sweet and soft when you take a bite. The craftsmanship of the imperial chef is indeed better than those sold outside, but still slightly worse than mine.

She has loved desserts since she was a child, especially every time her mother beat her, she would eat a lot to feel there was hope of survival.

Over time, she developed a habit of eating sweets.

Later, she met a friend who could make desserts. Her family ran a dessert shop, so she often went to the shop to learn.

She seemed to have some talent in this area and was able to make it very quickly. The snacks she made were very popular.

But later her mother found out about it and forbade her to do it again.

Thinking of the few happy times in her previous life, Meng Xiyue always felt lost.

Obviously that world was so cruel to her, but she always couldn't help missing it. Perhaps there, she felt that her soul was free.

She had fantasized many times that when she turned eighteen, she would run away from home and do all the things she wanted to do.

Unfortunately, she didn't wait until that day.

While eating the desserts and thinking about the past, the desserts seemed to become especially sweet, and before she knew it, more than a dozen pieces of desserts were in her stomach.

Her resentment towards Xie Junyi also dissipated a little.

Maybe she was just being too pretentious. He was a man from ancient times and a prince. Everyone around him had three wives and four concubines. This was a common thing in his eyes.

It was extremely rare that he didn't have a concubine at his age. How could she be so strict with him?

Besides, Yin Wumei is still just a female official and has not yet officially entered the palace as a concubine.

Maybe it's not too late for everything.

Meng Xiyue slowly clenched her hands and made a secret decision in her heart.

Here, Xie Junyi's jade-like fingers kept tapping on the table as he listened to the guard report on Meng Xiyue's schedule for the day.

"She went to Shicuizhai, but didn't she buy any jewelry?"

"No, she went to see the shopkeeper, Li Niang, and I don't know what she said."

"She knows Li Niang?"

"do not know."

"Well, send someone to buy all the new jewelry from Shicui Zhai tomorrow and send them to Mengxi Garden. Have Li Niang deliver them personally."

"Yes."

"Also, tell Ji Nianyin to go to Mengxi Garden to apologize, or get out of the palace."

Dare to bully others under his nose, Ji Nianyin is becoming more and more unruly. If it were not for Nanny Ji's sake, he would have to punish him severely.

When the news was delivered to Nanny Ji's residence, Ji Nianyin screamed in disbelief.

"How can the prince let me apologize to him? I want to go find the prince."

"Don't go."

Nanny Ji scolded in a deep voice, "How can you interfere with the prince's order?"

"Mother, what is her status? She is the concubine's daughter of a deposed county magistrate. She is not even worthy of carrying my shoes. What's wrong with me saying a few words to her?"

Ji Nianyin was very dissatisfied. Although she was just the daughter of a nanny, Nanny Ji was also Prince Qi's wet nurse, and she was no different from other young ladies in this mansion.

She even has four maids serving her. The girls from ordinary families can't compare to her at all.

Then what qualifications does Meng Xiyue have to ask her to apologize?
