Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Cui Nanjin's punch was quite powerful. Meng Xiyue was drowsy and didn't wake up until the next day.

She opened her eyes and saw Xie Junyi lying beside her bed.

Seeing his brows furrowed even in his sleep, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

She knew that he was in a difficult situation now, as it was difficult for him to give up either side.

It was rare that he gave me the position of concubine and promised that there would be no other women in the future.

But what can she do? She is not from this world and has no way to accept it.

Unless one of them gives up his or her obsession, they will never be able to be together.

She reached out to smooth out the wrinkles between his brows, but as soon as she raised her hand, he was startled awake.

Seeing her wake up, he asked hurriedly.

"How are you? Are you feeling dizzy or uncomfortable anywhere?"

"I...hiss~"

The punch hit her right on the cheek. The feeling wasn't strong at first, but now her mouth was pulled so hard that it hurt.

Cui Nanjin was so harsh in his attack, I wonder if she will be disfigured.

"I'll rub it for you."

Xie Junyi picked up the egg prepared nearby and gently pressed it on her face.

"Don't worry, it's just a little heavy and will go away in a couple of days. The doctor said to pay attention to whether you have dizziness or nausea. Do you have any?"

Maybe they were worried that she might have a concussion. Meng Xiyue shook her head and felt a little dizzy, but otherwise she was fine.

"your hands…"

When Meng Xiyue saw the blood stains on his arms, she remembered that he was also injured. But it had been a whole night and he hadn't even changed his clothes and had been guarding her the whole time.

"It's fine, just a flesh wound, it's not bleeding anymore."

"My Lord, I'm fine. Go and rest."

Xie Junyi paused for a moment, "Don't do such dangerous things again in the future. Do you know that Cui Nanjin is very skilled in martial arts? If he had held back, you would have been injured like this. If he hadn't held back, you would have lost your life."

"I don't know. If I knew, I would definitely not block it."

Meng Xiyue said this angrily. She also hated herself for not living up to her expectations.

His life was so precious, but why did he ignore it at that moment, just afraid that he would get hurt again?

But thinking back, wasn't he protecting himself by not hiding when he was being beaten?

"Whether you know it or not, you can't do this again."

Xie Junyi said again, no one knows that the punch on her body hurt more than on himself.

He was extremely scared at that time, and he still remembers the panic he felt. He was so afraid of losing her.

"it is good."

"Your Majesty, Princess Rong'an and the Crown Prince have come to apologize."

The sudden communication from outside interrupted the two of them.

Meng Xiyue reached out and took the egg from his hand and put it aside.

"Your Majesty, please change your clothes and go to receive the guests."

"No, let them in. You're the one they should apologize to the most."

"I can't afford their apology. If the prince does this, I'm afraid it will really anger the Ning'an Palace."

Meng Xiyue lowered her eyes. How could they, a prince and a princess, be willing to apologize to an ordinary person like her? Besides, she was the one who deliberately angered them first.

She didn't want this incident to cause any rift between the two governments.

But to her surprise, Princess Rong'an and the Prince really came.

When Cui Nanjin saw her, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. "Ms. Meng, I am really sorry for causing you to be injured because of my recklessness and impulsiveness. I came here today to apologize and hope to get your forgiveness."

His tone was sincere and his attitude was humble. He really came to apologize. This made Meng Xiyue understand that the Ning'an Palace was a truly admirable family and not a group of people who would bully others by taking advantage of their power.

She couldn't help but feel a little better about the Ning'an Palace.

But no matter how sincere his attitude was, the wound on his face still hurt, and it was not easy to ask for forgiveness.

Xie Junyi also remained silent. Looking at Meng Xiyue's still slightly red and swollen face, he wanted to go up and beat Cui Nanjin up.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Cui Panxi spoke.

"Brother, you really know you were wrong. These are all the gifts we prepared. I hope you can forgive your unintentional mistake."

What an unintentional mistake! Meng Xiyue looked up at the gold, silver and jewelry in the treasure chest, which were indeed valuable.

"The prince likes my daughter's face the most. Do you think that jewelry like this can make up for the damage to my face?"

Meng Xiyue said this and looked around the room again.

Cui Panxi's face froze instantly. She had just entered the house and discovered this room, which was even more luxurious than the one she had in Ning'an Palace.

Hung on the walls were famous paintings by various masters, the screens were priceless double-sided embroidery, and even the lighting was provided by huge luminous pearls.

These things should have been carefully selected for her by the prince. She is more favored than she thought.

Her position in Xie Junyi's heart is also higher than she thought.

The person whom she looked down upon at first turned out to be such a big threat to her.

The prince knew clearly that Meng Xiyue was deliberately provoking her again and again to intimidate her, but instead of stopping her, he indulged her.

Could it be that in his eyes, Meng Xiyue is more important than himself?

Thinking of this, her eyes were tinged with resentment.

Brother Yi is hers, and no one can take him away from her.

"Ms. Meng, the person who hurt you was me, and it had nothing to do with Xier." Cui Nanjin stood in front of Cui Panxi.

"Whether you want to fight back or have other requests, I will do my best to satisfy you. But Xier doesn't owe you anything."

What a good brother! A hint of envy flashed in Meng Xiyue's eyes. Cui Panxi must be the happiest person in the world.

She has a distinguished family background, parents who dote on her and a brother who always protects her.

Meng Xiyue took a deep breath, "You are a noble prince. It is rare for you to come and apologize to me. How dare I make any other requests?"

"Our Cui family motto is never to bully others, let alone the weak. If you are wrong, you must admit it."

Cui Nanjin said seriously, "Unless it is a matter of life and death, you are not allowed to attack women, children, and the elderly. I made a mistake and I deserve to be punished."

The Cui family respects the elderly and loves the young, no wonder they have such high prestige among the people and their family tradition is honest.

"Okay, since the prince is so sincere, I will accept the apology. However, you can take the gift back."

Meng Xiyue closed her eyes tiredly. After talking so much, her cheeks started to hurt again.

"Prince, Princess, she is tired."

Xie Junyi picked up the egg and began to massage her again, hoping to relieve her pain.

"Brother Yi..."

"Then we will take our leave first."

Cui Nanjin pulled his sister, who still wanted to talk, and walked out of the room.

"Brother."

Cui Panxi's eyes were red. She had seen Xie Junyi's tenderness towards Meng Xiyue just now. It was not just ordinary love.
