Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Looking at his tall and slender figure, Yin Wumei was a little dazed. Although she was not as beautiful as Meng Xiyue, she was also a rare beauty.

Is he really not worthy of her love? All these years of companionship cannot earn him any sympathy.

She once thought that he was such a cold and heartless person, and she didn't think it was a big deal even if he had never been kind to her.

But now that Meng Xiyue has appeared, she knows that he can also like women and can pamper a woman, but that person is not her.

But so what? After all, she belongs to Prince Qi's Mansion and always will.

She won't leave.

Without caring about what she was thinking, Xie Junyi left Yiku Palace and headed towards Princess Zhaohua's bedroom.

He met the eldest prince, Prince Liang Xie Jun'an, head-on, and his eyes darkened.

"Brother Royal."

"Second brother, what a coincidence, where are you going?"

Xie Junan looked very surprised.

"Your humble servant will go find Zhaohua."

"Speaking of which, my brother hasn't seen Zhaohua for a long time. Unfortunately, I have something to do today and can't go with you."

Xie Junan said regretfully.

"My royal brother, business is more important."

"It's not a big deal, but my father insisted that I go to Kunning Palace to have lunch with him and my mother. I have to go that day."

He patted Xie Junyi on the shoulder and said, "I really envy my brother for being so free. Unlike me, I am always controlled by my father and never have a moment of leisure."

"Father does care more about my brother." Looking at his smug look, Xie Junyi said coldly, "After all, my brother always has problems when he does things."

"I heard that my brother didn't handle the flood in Pizhou properly and was impeached by the censor."

"You..." Xie Jun'an's face flushed, "Even if you handle government affairs well and are loved by all officials, you still cannot be favored by the emperor."

"The most important things to my father are me and my mother."

"so what?"

Xie Junyi raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of disdain. He was the Empress's legitimate son, and no one could change that. Whether he was favored by the Emperor or not, he was the same.

Even if he loved that woman, he still only gave her the status of a noble concubine, and the queen was still his mother.

No longer paying attention to the boastful Xie Jun'an, he ignored him and left.

He once didn't understand why his father only liked his eldest brother and not him. He was sad and tried hard to prove himself.

But the result was that no matter what he did, he was not as good as Xie Jun'an in his father's eyes.

Just because Xie Junan is the woman he loves and the child she gave birth to.

Now he no longer cares about his favor, he just wants to keep everything that belongs to him.

What belongs to him cannot be taken away by anyone, including the current emperor.

Zhaohua, who was playing with the maid, saw Xie Junyi coming in and greeted him happily.

"Brother, you haven't been here for a long time."

Zhaohua and Xie Junyi are siblings from the same mother. In this palace, they are the only two who treat each other sincerely.

"I heard from my mother that you are naughty again?"

Xie Junyi rubbed Zhaohua's hair lovingly.

"Oh, my brother, I am an adult now, please don't mess up my hair like you did when I was a child."

Zhaohua pouted, very dissatisfied with the new hairstyle she had just done today.

"Also, I didn't cause any trouble. It was Ningzhu who started the trouble first. Father sided with her without knowing right or wrong. I didn't do anything wrong at all."

When Zhao Hua mentioned this matter, he felt very aggrieved, "Father is too partial."

"You know that the emperor dotes on her, so you should stop provoking her. She is deliberately trying to get you punished."

Although Ningzhu is only four months older than Zhaohua, her scheming is beyond Zhaohua's reach.

If it weren't for me and my mother protecting her, she wouldn't know how much she would have suffered.

"I have already agreed with my mother that I will let you stay at Prince Qi's mansion for a few days. Are you willing?"

Zhao Hua's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "I do."

Once she goes to Prince Qi's Mansion, she can go wherever she wants.

"Is this prince asking you to go to Prince Qi's Mansion for a mission?"

"What mission?"

……

When Meng Xiyue heard that Xie Junyi had returned home, she hurried to greet him.

It turned out that he did not come back alone. Besides Yin Wumei, there was also a woman with him.

The woman was dressed gorgeously, with light eyebrows, long eyelashes, a straight nose and a cherry mouth. She looked pretty and beautiful.

The woman held Xie Junyi's arm affectionately.

"Miss, that's Princess Zhaohua, the prince's sister." Zhiyue reminded quietly behind her.

Only then did Meng Xiyue notice that there was some similarity between their brows.

Lean slightly.

"Your Majesty, Princess Zhaohua."

Princess Zhaohua was also stunned when she saw her. Although she had long guessed that the woman her brother liked must be good-looking, she did not expect her to be so stunningly beautiful.

Today, Meng Xiyue was wearing a green shirt and skirt, with a jade headdress. She looked elegant and pretty, like a fairy.

"You must be Sister Yue, my brother told me about you. You are truly a beauty."

Princess Zhaohua stepped forward, helped her up, and said with a smile.

"You are overpraising me, Princess."

"Sister Yue, don't be so reserved. This princess will come to the palace to stay for a few days, so you can treat me as your own sister."

Princess Zhaohua was not at all arrogant, and her enthusiasm left Meng Xiyue a little confused.

She secretly looked at Xie Junyi and saw him nod. She realized that it must be him who allowed Princess Zhaohua to get closer to him.

I couldn't help feeling touched.

Zhaohua is lively and has no princess-like airs, so Meng Xiyue has a lot to talk about with her.

It didn't take long for the two to become familiar with each other.

"Sister Yue, in five days, there will be a party in the suburbs to enjoy the lotuses on the lake. Many young ladies in the capital will go. You can come with me then."

"You don't have many friends in Beijing, so this is a good opportunity to make some friends."

Princess Zhaohua did not forget the purpose of Xie Junyi asking her to come to the mansion, which was to bring Meng Xiyue into the circle of young ladies in Beijing in her name.

To be honest, Princess Zhaohua didn't understand why the emperor cared so much about a little concubine.

But she had no choice but to obey her brother's orders.

Fortunately, Meng Xiyue is beautiful and generous, and she does not have the shyness of a girl from a small place at all.

There was some wit in his conversation, so he would have enough topics to talk about with the young ladies in the capital.

"Okay, thank you princess."

Understanding Xie Junyi's good intentions, Meng Xiyue would naturally not let him down.

"Zhaohua, it's getting late, you should go back to the courtyard and rest."

"That sister Yue..."

"Go back by yourself."

Zhao Hua wanted to say something but was interrupted by Xie Junyi. Zhao Hua was startled and realized that he had disturbed their world of two.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart. It was him who asked her to accompany Meng Xiyue, and now he was the one who thought she was in the way. It was really hard to be a good person.

Being Xie Junyi's sister is even more difficult.

"Then Sister Yue, I will come to see you tomorrow."

After saying this, Princess Zhaohua wisely left.
