Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

But no matter how badly Xie Junyi wanted to find her, this matter could only be done in private.

Since they didn't know where Meng Xiyue had gone, he and his partner could only split into several groups, leaving one group to search in the city while the others went outside to chase her.

Because she said she wanted to see all the beautiful scenery in the world.

But after searching for a whole night, I still had no clue.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go and take a rest first? I will notify you immediately if there is any news."

Seeing Xie Junyi, who had not slept all night and looked a little tired, Ziye was very worried.

"No need, just keep looking, those two girls can't run far."

Xie Junyi rubbed his aching forehead and said, "Help me change my clothes and go to Ning'an Palace."

I promised Cui Panxi yesterday that I would pick her up.

But when he arrived at Ning'an Prince's Palace, he found that Prince Liang had also arrived.

He frowned slightly, "Uncle Wang, I'm here to pick up the princess."

"Yes, Prince Liang is here to pick up the princess as well. She is changing her clothes and will be out soon."

Prince Ning'an had a stern expression, and it was impossible to tell his emotions.

But Xie Junyi vaguely sensed that he was a little angry, and it was directed at him.

He saw a hint of pride in King Liang's eyes and knew what he had said.

"Royal brother, you don't look very well. Did you not get enough rest last night?"

As soon as King Liang said this, Xie Junyi knew that he had known about his search for someone.

No matter how covertly they tried to find someone, it would be difficult to escape the emperor's eyes and ears. What's more, they were already keeping an eye on Prince Qi's Mansion.

I think King Liang just told King Ning'an about this matter.

"My eldest brother really cares about me. It seems that every move of the palace cannot escape my eyes and ears."

"I don't have the time to do that. It's just that my brother's actions in finding someone are too big, and many people in the capital know about it."

Prince Liang opened the folding fan in his hand, his eyebrows slightly raised, "Who are you looking for, my brother? Do you need my help?"

"Don't worry, my brother. I'm just looking for someone."

"who?"

"Servant."

"Since he is a servant, he can just leave. There is no need to mobilize so many troops."

Prince Ning'an looked at Xie Junyi, "What does Prince Qi think?"

"It really doesn't matter, but I bought this servant for 20,000 taels. If he wants to leave, he has to wait for my permission. If you run away without knowing why, who do you think I am?"

What Xie Junyi meant was that he was looking for someone not because he valued Meng Xiyue so much, but because Meng Xiyue slapped him in the face, and as a noble prince, he would not allow it.

Prince Ning'an nodded in satisfaction, "Then let's follow Prince Qi's wishes."

"Father."

The cheerful voice interrupted the boring conversation in the main hall.

"Brother Yi, King Liang."

Cui Panxi bowed slightly, her eyes fixed on Xie Junyi.

"Okay, let Jin'er accompany you, and the four of you young people can go out for a walk together."

Hearing what King Ning'an said, Cui Panxi pouted in dissatisfaction. She wanted to be alone with Brother Qi.

But it's not easy to say this directly.

"Ok."

When they got outside, Prince Liang took the initiative and asked, "May I have the honor to invite the princess to ride in the same carriage?"

Before Cui Panxi could open her mouth to refuse, Cui Nanjin spoke.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Xier, please take a carriage with me."

After saying that, without waiting for Cui Panxi to react, he pulled her into the carriage.

"Brother, what are you doing? You know I want to have a conversation with Brother Yi, but you still sabotage me."

Cui Panxi was almost crying with anger. Wasn't it agreed that she could choose whoever she wanted? Why was she always being stopped?

Cui Nanjin sighed, "Brother knows that you like Prince Qi and are devoted to her, but, it was too easy for him to get her, so he didn't know how to cherish her."

"Now it's not you who is trying to be his princess, it's him who is begging our Qi Palace, and as a princess, you have to show your attitude."

As a man, Cui Nanjin understands men's minds best. Only what you get with all your efforts will be regarded as treasures. If you give something away voluntarily, no one will care about it no matter how precious it is.

And we should also take this opportunity to warn Xie Junyi and let him know that the Ning'an Palace does not have to choose him.

"Brother Yi is not that kind of person."

"You've only been in contact with him for a month, and the number of times you've met can be counted on one hand. How can you be sure that you understand him?"

Cui Nanjin poked her forehead with his hand in frustration, "If you didn't have the identity of Princess Rong An, would he still marry you?"

"Of course not. If I didn't have this identity, I wouldn't be worthy of him."

Cui Panxi still has this self-awareness.

"That's it. You don't have this status, so you can't get close to him. But some people, even if they don't have this status, still win his favor."

"Brother, are you talking about that concubine?"

The news that Xie Junyi had a favorite concubine had long been spread to the Ning'an Palace. They knew about it before he came to Beijing.

"She is not a concubine. She is a maid on the surface, but actually she is a guest in the mansion. As for what status Xie Junyi wants to give her, it is still unknown."

"Brother Yi once said that he would not take a concubine before marrying a principal wife. A woman without a status or background, she can only be a concubine at best."

Cui Panxi didn't take it seriously. Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines, let alone someone of Xie Junyi's status.

There will be no less women around him in the future, but she is the principal wife, and no one can surpass her. She still has this tolerance.

"But that woman is the only one he cares about."

Cui Nanjin was a little worried. He knew that Prince Qi had always been a chaste man and had no concubines in his house.

Before that woman appeared, there was only one female official in the palace who was appointed by the queen. I heard that she had never had her face opened and it was obvious that she was not that liked.

He was satisfied with his future brother-in-law, but the sudden appearance of this woman made him worried.

Xie Junyi was not an emotional person. At this critical moment, even King Liang had sent away all the concubines and maids in the mansion, but he took a woman into the mansion. He didn't believe that he didn't care about that woman.

"Brother Yi just doesn't want to lie to me. He has a concubine, so he has one. He is not as opportunistic as King Liang. He has a lot of concubines in his house, but he sends them away to create the illusion that he is clean. It's hypocritical."

In Cui Panxi's eyes, whatever Xie Junyi does is good.

"Prince Qi is indeed better than Prince Liang."

Comparing the two princes, they would naturally choose Xie Junyi.

At least he is a soldier who values ​​his promises and keeps his word.

After the Ning'an Palace helped him ascend the throne, he would never bite back.

"So, she's just a girl, I don't care, brother and father shouldn't hold on to this."

Cui Panxi held her chin in her hand and said, "After I marry into the palace, I will personally take that woman as my concubine."

Anyway, concubines are no different from inferiors. If that woman makes her unhappy, she can just sell her out.
