Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

"I will go and talk to Princess Rong An."

Xie Junyi naturally didn't want to give up either of them.

Hearing this, Meng Xiyue broke free from his hand and said, "My Lord, I'm fine."

"The Queen did this for my own good. I must learn this rule, otherwise I will not be qualified to enter Prince Qi's mansion."

"Yue'er?"

Hearing her humble words, Xie Junyi did not feel relieved, but felt cold all over, "Don't call yourself a slave."

Meng Xiyue glanced at him and said, "Either you stay with the Queen and learn the rules, or Your Majesty will let me go."

Hearing the word "leave", Xie Junyi replied directly, "Then you study hard here, and I will come to see you tomorrow."

Looking at his back, Meng Xiyue gave a bitter smile. He would rather break all her wings than let her fly away.

"You did very well."

The Queen's voice came from behind.

Meng Xiyue turned around and knelt down, "These are what I should do."

"Today's incident was caused by my carelessness. You got hurt. You should take a good rest first and continue learning after your hand is better."

Looking at her injured hand, the queen felt a little distressed. If she could no longer paint because of this, it would be her fault.

"Please ask the imperial physician to take a look."

"Thank you Queen."

Qian Xiang applied medicine to Meng Xiyue while crying, "Miss, why don't you go back to the palace with the prince? It's too painful to stay in this palace."

"If we go back home, then all this will be meaningless." Meng Xiyue sighed, "I want him to know that we are not destined to be from the same world. If we force ourselves to be together, one of us will definitely be destroyed."

"Does the girl want to abandon herself?"

Qianxiang felt very upset. The prince would never let herself be destroyed. In the end, the only one who would get hurt would be the young lady.

"When that time comes, death may be a relief."

Meng Xiyue naturally didn't want to go to that step, but if he continued to be stubborn, she would never let go.

Then she could only end the situation by dying. Making her a concubine would be even more painful than death.

"Miss, don't you want to scare Asaka?"

"It's not time yet. Let's take it one step at a time."

Meng Xiyue smiled and looked down at her hands that were wrapped like dumplings. She couldn't follow that crappy rule now.

But after only two days of rest, the teaching nanny came again and Nanny Rong was replaced.

The person who came was Madam Li, and her attitude was much more friendly.

Meng Xiyue started to learn the rules again. Since her hand injury had not healed yet, the rules she learned this time did not require the use of hands.

Xie Junyi has not come to Yikun Palace in the past few days. I don’t know if he was angry about what she said last time or he was busy with his engagement with Princess Rong’an.

I heard that Prince Ning'an has told the Emperor that he wants to choose Xie Junyi.

They got engaged immediately and got married two months later, after the Chinese New Year.

Right now, the entire Prince Qi’s Mansion is probably busy with the engagement.

Meng Xiyue was concentrating on learning the rules and didn't seem to know about this.

Princess Zhaohua, on the other hand, always came to her, probably under the instruction of the Queen or Xie Junyi, to comfort her.

What is there to be comforted about? In everyone's eyes, being able to become a concubine is already a great blessing from heaven.

Now I can come to the Queen's side and learn the rules. I am truly blessed.

"Yue'er, isn't it boring to learn the rules? This is what I hated the most when I was a kid."

Zhaohua still likes Meng Xiyue very much in his heart, and still feels a little guilty about the misunderstanding he had with her last time.

Meng Xiyue smiled and said nothing. This rule was meant to restrain women.

Everyone hates it, yet everyone is proud of having learned it. It's contradictory.

"But I will come to see you more often in the future. When I come here, the nanny won't be able to make you learn the rules."

Zhaohua blinked, suggesting that he would help her.

"Thank you princess."

Meng Xiyue thought that it would not be long before she would have to leave the palace.

Now that the marriage is settled, everything is set in stone. It doesn't matter whether she learns the rules in the palace or not.

……

At night, Meng Xiyue, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly felt a warmth on her back.

She was startled and was about to scream, but when she smelled the familiar scent, she relaxed.

"You broke into the palace in the middle of the night. Aren't you afraid of being caught by the assassin?"

Xie Junyi held her arms tighter, "I miss you."

"If you want to see her, you can come during the day. Could it be that the Queen doesn't allow you to come?"

After saying that, Meng Xiyue suddenly realized that it was really the Queen who did not allow him to come.

Now is the critical period for his engagement with Princess Rong An. If he comes to see me, it would be a slap in the face of Princess Rong An.

This face must be given, so he cannot come to see me before the engagement.

"You're getting engaged tomorrow, and you still have time to come here?"

Xie Junyi didn't say anything. His warm breath fell on her neck. After a long time, he spoke in a muffled voice.

"sorry."

Hearing these three words, Meng Xiyue couldn't help but shed tears. She had promised not to be sad, but when she heard these words, she couldn't help it.

Feeling her trembling, Xie Junyi tightened his arms a little more.

"My Lord, please let me go."

"No, I can't do it." Xie Junyi's voice was trembling a little.

"I know this isn't fair to you, but I can't let you leave."

"I know you love me, so please bear with it for me, okay?"

There was a hint of pleading in Xie Junyi's voice.

The reason why he came to see her today despite the danger was because he was afraid.

He was afraid that she would become depressed or find other ways to leave, even though he knew that this was the imperial palace, like a cage, and he couldn't escape even with wings.

But he was still afraid, he always felt that she would disappear at any time.

Only by holding her like this could he feel somewhat safe.

"After the marriage is settled, I will accompany you to live in Chengshan Villa for a few more days, okay?"

Meng Xiyue reached out to wipe the tears from her sweaty face, "It's all up to the prince."

"I want to make you happy. Wherever you want to go, I will take you there."

Xie Junyi turned her body around and spoke carefully.

Meng Xiyue forced a smile, "If the prince is happy, I will be happy too."

"Yue'er, don't be like this. You can always be yourself in front of this king."

Xie Junyi's eyes were filled with anxiety. "This rule is learned for others to see."

"Your Highness, once you learn the rules, you must follow them." Meng Xiyue lowered her eyes, "Although it has not been long, I have learned it very well. The nanny even praised me."

"Yue'er, bear with me for two more days. Then I will take you out. We won't learn anymore. We won't learn anymore."

Xie Junyi felt as if his heart was being grabbed by someone and it ached greatly.

"My Lord, I have to learn these rules myself. As the Queen said, if I can't even learn the most basic rules, how can I be qualified to enter Prince Qi's mansion?"
