Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Xie Junyi is the legitimate son of the royal family, so it is natural for him to be arrogant, but why is Wang Ruixuan, an orphan, like this?

It’s really puzzling.

The three of them were enjoying their meal together and completely ignored the three people who were still kneeling.

Meng Qingge couldn't bear it anymore and shouted again, "Prince, Fifth Sister."

He finally remembered her. Meng Xiyue raised her eyebrows and said, "Sit down and eat."

Meng Qingge looked up at the prince, and seeing that he had no objection, she stood up and sat down.

Meng Zirong and Meng Yuner also hurried to follow.

"Yun'er, I've never seen you dressed so beautifully."

Meng Yun'er, who was secretly going to see Xie Junyi, was stunned by the sudden roll call.

She looked at Meng Xiyue with a guilty look and said, "I...I...just changed my clothes."

"Since you're here for the first time, you naturally have to dress up nicely." Meng Qingge said as she picked up a piece of food and put it in Prince Qi's bowl.

"Your Majesty, eat more."

After saying this, she smiled shyly with her eyes moving.

Xie Junyi didn't say anything, but just put the bowl down heavily, his face slightly angry.

Seeing this, Meng Xiyue hurriedly called Qianxiang to change another bowl of rice for the prince.

"Second sister, you are a guest, I can do the job of serving food to the prince."

Hearing this, Meng Qingge's face turned red. She was clearly being disliked.

She glared at Meng Xiyue with some hatred. It was just that she was pretty, why was she so proud?

If you want to catch a man, it is not enough to have beauty, you also need talent, especially in the capital, talent is the most important.

"Your Highness, I have been reading the Four Books recently, and there are many things I don't understand. Could you please explain them to my daughter?"

After she finished speaking, Xie Junyi finally raised his eyes and looked at her straight in the eye.

Meeting those deep eyes, her heart couldn't help but beat wildly. He was even more handsome and noble than when he was in Qingyun City. Only a man like him was worthy of her.

She felt even more proud when she thought that he looked at her because she was well educated.

She said that no man could resist a talented woman.

Xie Junyi curled his lips and said, "You can't even understand the Four Books. You are really stupid."

"what?"

Meng Qingge couldn't believe her ears. She had read the Four Books, so how could she be so stupid?

There are only a few women who have read the Four Books. Meng Xiyue probably doesn't even know what the Four Books are. Why don't you say she is stupid?

Meng Qingge, who always prided herself on being smart and talented, was almost unable to bear the blow she received from the man she admired.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Most women are stupid. No talent is virtue. I just read a lot because I like reading."

"As a woman, I also want to read the books that men read."

She is determined to prove that she is different.

"Which young lady in the capital has not read the Four Books and Five Classics? I have never heard anyone say that they cannot understand them. This prince thinks that you are not only stupid, but also have no vision."

"If it weren't for Yue'er's sake, I wouldn't be qualified to be a maid cleaning Prince Qi's mansion, let alone a guest."

Sarcastic words slowly flowed out of Xie Junyi's mouth, shocking Meng Qingge and the other two, who were dumbfounded.

"I...I..." Meng Qingge didn't say another word for a long time.

"I have finished my meal, you guys can eat now."

Being stared at like hungry wolves by three people, he had no mood to eat. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, took Meng Xiyue's hand, and left.

Seeing this, Wang Ruixuan also stood up and left.

For a moment, there were only three of them left at the dinner table, and Meng Qingge's eyes turned red from overwhelm.

"Second sister, don't be sad. The prince must be in front of Fifth Sister. It's not good to be too affectionate with you. After all, we just got here."

Meng Zirong tried to make amends, "Let's find an opportunity to be alone with the prince. He will definitely not do this."

"But what the prince said is also true. All the noble ladies in the capital are both talented and beautiful. How can we have such a chance?"

Meng Yun'er said this solemnly. Although she was also attracted to the prince, she saw clearly just now that the prince's eyes were on Meng Xiyue and he was too lazy to look at them.

If it weren't for Meng Xiyue, I would have driven them away long ago.

"How about we go back tomorrow? Don't let the prince not like you and hurt Fifth Sister's heart."

Thinking of the way Meng Xiyue looked at her just now, she felt ashamed.

"If you want to go back, go back by yourself. This palace is so nice. We are not going anywhere."

Meng Zirong poked her head with his hand, "Why, you were bought off by a night pearl."

"No, the prince is clearly not interested in us, so it's useless for us to stay here."

Meng Yun'er was about to cry. She had no opinion of her own and she came to the palace just because her parents pushed her to do so.

She finally mustered up the courage and thought about fighting for it, but before she could do anything, she was slapped hard in the face by reality.

She doesn't have the beauty of the fifth sister, nor the talent of the second sister. How could the prince be interested in her?

She didn't want to end up falling out with Meng Xiyue. After all, her fifth sister had always treated her well.

"You're discouraged after just one time. If you want to go back, go back. We won't go back."

From the moment Meng Zirong entered the palace, she had no intention of leaving again. Meeting Xie Junyi just now made her more determined.

As long as she could stay in the palace, even if she was just a concubine, she would enjoy endless wealth and glory.

What's more, she had inquired about it and knew that Prince Qi was the most likely to become the emperor, and she might even become his concubine by then.

How could she miss such a good opportunity?

As for whether Xie Junyi would like her, she was not worried at all. Men were lustful after all, and if she offered herself to him, how could he not be attracted by her?

As she said, the reason why the prince was cold to them just now was only because Meng Xiyue was there.

He will never do that when there is no one else around.

Meng Qingge lowered his head and said nothing, obviously not yet recovered from the blow he had just received.

At night, after Meng Xiyue came back, Meng Yuner came to her door.

"Fifth sister."

"Is there something wrong?" Meng Xiyue's attitude was colder than ever before. It was obvious that Meng Yuner's behavior hurt her heart.

Seeing her like this, Meng Yun'er's eyes immediately turned red, "I'm sorry, father asked us to come here because he wanted us to please the prince, stay by his side, and find him a position."

"Father asked you to come here, but what to do is up to you."

Meng Xiyue did not change her attitude because of her sudden frankness.

After all, Meng Yun'er really wanted to snatch the prince away.

Whenever Xie Junyi showed interest in her, she would definitely not care about their sisterly relationship and would immediately throw herself into his arms.

"I..." Meng Yun'er twisted the handkerchief vigorously with both hands and whispered, "I want to go back to the suburban yard tomorrow."
