Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

next day

Upon learning that she was going to ride horseback in the suburbs, Meng Xiyue got up early and dressed up.

She was wearing a Suzhou embroidered moon-shaped brocade riding suit, a gold headpiece inlaid with a jade phoenix, and a string of pearls around her neck, which made her already fair skin look radiant.

Today she has an air of grace and elegance. If you don't know her identity, you would think she is a princess in the palace.

But when Xie Junyi saw her dressed like this, he frowned and whispered, "It's better to wear simple clothes when riding a horse."

"But I like this one and I want to wear it."

Meng Xiyue's eyes moved, and she smiled, "Your Majesty, do you think this dress doesn't look good?"

"Of course it's beautiful, but..."

"As long as it looks good, that's all." Meng Xiyue smiled brightly, "Then let's get out of the city quickly and don't keep the princess waiting for too long."

It was rare to see her so happy, and Xie Junyi swallowed back the words he wanted to stop her.

Never mind, they are just some expensive jewellery, the princess shouldn’t care.

I wouldn't care about the jewelry, but such a stunning face, coupled with gorgeous jewelry, the impact is extraordinary.

Cui Panxi thought Meng Xiyue was a beauty, but she didn't expect her to be so stunningly beautiful.

Her skin is as white as cream, her beauty is radiant, and her every move is a sight to behold. Plus, with the outfit she’s dressed in, she doesn’t look like a concubine’s daughter from a small place.

Looks more noble than myself.

The confidence in Cui Panxi's eyes disappeared a little.

King Liang was also surprised. This was the first time he saw Meng Xiyue and his eyes were wide open.

No wonder she caught Xie Junyi's eye. With such beauty, all the concubines in his mansion combined are not as beautiful as her.

How come all the good things happen to Xie Junyi?

But then he thought, she was just a beauty. When he ascended the throne, he would be able to choose any kind of woman.

Princess Rong An is still more important.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Princess Rong An, whose expression had changed.

"This Miss Meng is really as beautiful as the legend says. No wonder my brother hid her so well."

"Grandstanding."

Cui Nanjin snorted coldly. He was a complete sister-con. In his eyes, no one was better than his sister.

But there was still a hint of surprise in his eyes, not because of Meng Xiyue's beauty, but because he always felt as if he had seen this woman somewhere before, and she looked very familiar.

"Your Highness Prince Liang, Princess, and Crown Prince."

Meng Xiyue leaned over and saluted to each of them.

King Liang raised his eyebrows, "You know this king."

"I don't know, I'm just guessing."

She had seen these three people outside the city gate, but she couldn't say that she had secretly gone to see them out of jealousy.

"Haha, my royal brother, your concubine is really interesting."

Even women from wealthy and powerful families would lower their heads and look at him, the King of Liang, in a submissive manner. They were nothing like her, who dared to joke with him.

"Your Highness Prince Liang has misunderstood. My daughter is not a concubine."

"Hmm? Yes, not yet. Prince Qi said that he would not take a concubine before marrying a principal wife. This royal brother of yours is also learning from him."

At this time, he still did not forget to flatter himself.

Meng Xiyue smiled slightly and looked at Cui Panxi, "Since he already has a wife, I am not a concubine. When the prince said he wanted to marry me as a concubine, he would marry me in a sedan chair carried by eight people and in a formal ceremony."

"Yue'er?"

Xie Junyi scolded in a low voice. It was true that he had promised her, but she couldn't say it in front of Cui Panxi.

"What? I was wrong. Could it be that the words I heard last night were all lies from the prince?"

Meng Xiyue lowered her eyes, her voice trembling, as if she would burst into tears in the next second.

"Your Highness Prince Qi, you..."

Cui Nanjin was slightly angry and was about to say something when he was stopped by Cui Panxi.

Cui Panxi took a deep breath, walked to Meng Xiyue with a smile, and grabbed her hand.

"You are lucky that the prince loves you. You are so beautiful. If I were a man, I would like you too."

Meng Xiyue raised her eyes and met hers. She had heard that the princess was brought up in a very willful manner, but she didn't expect that she could be so forbearing.

Just now, she was so angry that she wanted to kill herself, but in a moment, she returned to normal.

If it weren't for the smile that didn't reach her eyes, she would have really believed it.

"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. The prince has a special liking for my daughter."

"I heard that you are also from Qingyun City. Come to think of it, we are from the same hometown."

Cui Panxi seemed not to understand the meaning of her words and continued talking to herself.

"We seem to be about the same age. How old are you?"

"fifteen."

"What a coincidence, when was your birthday?"

"The first month."

"How many months in the first month?"

"eighteen."

"Oh my god?" This time Cui Panxi's surprise was not acted, "We were born on the same day of the same month of the same year. This is such a coincidence."

"What a coincidence!" King Liang also found it interesting.

"What a coincidence."

Cui Nanjin murmured to himself, feeling more and more familiar with Meng Xiyue.

"It seems that the princess and I are really destined to be together."

Meng Xiyue smiled bitterly. She had never expected that the two of them would have such a fate.

What's more, they like the same person.

"It's a pity that the identities are so different." King Liang sighed.

There are many people born at the same time, but some are born to be favored by heaven, while others are just concubines' daughters from a small place.

"There's no difference, Yue'er, can I call you that? We'll be sisters from now on."

Cui Panxi said that there was no difference, but there was a hint of smugness in her eyes.

As the princess of Ning'an Palace, her status is nobler than many princesses.

She is truly a favored daughter of heaven, while the woman in front of her has nothing good except her beauty.

If you still want the position of concubine, then you have to see whether they agree after you enter the palace.

"Thank you for your kindness, my lord."

She really underestimated this princess. She thought she was just a child who was spoiled by her family and would get angry at the slightest provocation. She didn't expect her to be so patient.

"Okay, stop chatting and let's get on the horse."

Xie Junyi spoke to break the deadlock.

"Yes, our task today is to ride horses." Cui Panxi's smile widened a little.

"Brother Yi, I really miss the time when we rode horses in the frontier when we were kids. It was so carefree and unrestrained."

After that, she looked at Meng Xiyue again, "Sister Yue'er, can you ride a horse?"

Yesterday, Xie Junyi had already said that Meng Xiyue couldn't ride a horse, but she insisted on asking again.

"will not."

"That's a shame, but I can teach you. You have to learn it well."

There was a hint of provocation in Cui Panxi's eyes.

"Don't bother the princess, the prince and I can just share one horse."

Cui Panxi's face froze. "It's better for each of us to ride a horse. Brother Yi is a general and he likes the feeling of being on horseback the most. He can't let go when you are around."

"But I'm afraid and don't dare to ride it myself. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Meng Xiyue's soft words made people feel numb.
