Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Princess Zhaohua looked at her with some confusion, "Is there anything wrong with this name?"

Meng Xiyue shook her head, there was nothing wrong.

Can…

She looked up at Princess Zhaohua and asked seriously, "Is Nan Rongzhi a boy or a girl?"

Princess Zhaohua, who was drinking tea, almost spit out the tea in her mouth when she heard this question. If it weren't for the etiquette she had been bound by from childhood to university, she would definitely not have been able to hold back.

She swallowed the tea and looked at Meng Xiyue as if she was a fool.

"Since he is a prince, he must be a boy. You don't have a fever, do you?"

Meng Xiyue took away her hand from her forehead and continued to ask, "Has it always been a man?"

Princess Zhaohua sighed.

"I wish she was a woman, so I wouldn't have to marry her off."

"But he is a man, a legitimate prince, and has been named the crown prince since birth. This kind of thing cannot be false."

That's not right, Meng Xiyue lowered her head in disappointment.

She had thought that Nan Rongzhi was Rong Zhi, as their names were only one letter different. In addition, Rong Zhi had also said that her identity was special and could not be exposed. What could be more difficult to expose than an identity from an enemy country?

But Rong Zhi is clearly a woman. Even if she is disguised as a man, it is impossible for her to hide it since birth, right?

And she is going to come to Yuanqing Kingdom to propose marriage, which seems to be unreasonable.

Maybe she was overthinking it.

I don't know where Rong Zhi is now, how she is doing, and whether they can meet again.

In this world, only when I am with her, do I feel that my previous life was not a dream.

And there will be people who truly understand and support your behavior.

……

Xie Junyi's engagement was successfully completed. According to the palace maids, the scene was very grand.

Each of the 188 loads of betrothal gifts was extremely valuable, demonstrating the importance the royal family attached to the Ning'an Palace.

All the people who were present to congratulate, even those who were just watching on the street, were given rewards.

Prince Qi and Prince Ning'an were both heroes in the hearts of the people, and the union of their two families naturally attracted blessings.

The engagement was so grand that everyone couldn't help but look forward to how spectacular the wedding scene would be.

Meng Xiyue didn't feel anything when listening to the palace maids' longing words.

She knew this day would come, didn't she?

But the tears still fell uncontrollably.

On the second day after Xie Junyi got engaged, he came to Yikun Palace and said that Meng Xiyue had almost learned the rules and it was time to take her back.

The Queen did not agree, saying that she would have to wait until tomorrow and let him bring Princess Rong'an to pay her respects before Meng Xiyue could leave.

It was really ironic that the prince brought his future princess consort to pick up her, his concubine.

The queen was afraid that she would cause trouble again tomorrow, so she gave her a lecture.

"I like you, too. As long as you listen to me, I won't make things difficult for you. Princess Rong An is also easy to get along with. She is not as scheming and intolerant as other women."

"In the future, when you are together in Prince Qi's mansion, you must work together to help Yi'er solve his problems."

"Also, if you don't behave well tomorrow, you will have to stay in the palace and continue to learn the rules."

First appease and then threaten, the queen also made her words clear.

Tell her to be aware of her status and to respect Princess Rong An at all times.

Meng Xiyue lowered her eyebrows and replied, "Yes."

"Okay, go back and pack your things tomorrow and prepare to leave the palace."

"Thank you, Queen."

next day

Meng Xiyue was like a puppet, wearing clothes and jewelry prepared by the Queen.

These clothes and jewelry are all of standard standard. They look exquisite but not expensive and will not overshadow Princess Rong An.

She came to the main hall and the queen nodded with satisfaction.

"It's time for them to arrive. Go outside the palace to greet them."

"Yes."

Meng Xiyue came outside the hall and saw two figures walking side by side from afar.

Both of them were extremely noble. Under the sunlight, they walked towards her like a pair of immortals.

And she could only stand in the dark, waiting for his occasional favoring look.

"Miss Meng."

People are in high spirits when they are happy. Princess Rong An looks even more radiant than the last time they met.

She smiled happily and was dignified and generous.

Meng Xiyue immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to the two of them.

"Greetings to the prince and princess."

"Yue'er."

Prince Qi subconsciously reached out his hand to help her up.

Since they met, she had never shown herself such a great courtesy. She seemed to hate kneeling to others and did not allow the servants in the yard to kneel.

But now she not only knelt, but also performed the blessing ceremony.

This is a courtesy only performed to people of higher status than oneself.

"It seems that Miss Meng has learned the rules very well. She has performed the etiquette so well after only ten days of not seeing her. I have not been able to learn it for a long time."

Cui Panxi smiled innocently and followed the strength of Prince Qi to help the man up.

"But between us sisters, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony in the future."

Meng Xiyue raised her eyes and met Cui Panxi's slightly sarcastic look.

Yes, the person who was so arrogant and provocative in front of her a few days ago is now kneeling at her feet. How can she not be proud?

Meng Xiyue lowered her eyes, "I am a humble servant, and I dare not call you my sister."

"You're so polite. I don't care about that."

Cui Panxi spoke in a familiar manner.

"The Queen is still waiting in the palace, Prince and Princess, please go in quickly."

Meng Xiyue stepped sideways and let them go ahead.

Cui Panxi was very satisfied with her performance, she said with a smile.

"Okay, then we'll leave the palace together later."

"My Lord, let's go in."

Xie Junyi's eyes never left Meng Xiyue from beginning to end.

Seeing her so well-behaved, he did not feel the slightest bit relieved.

He really wanted to tell her that she didn't have to care about any rules as long as he was protecting her.

But the words got to his throat and he couldn't utter them.

Cui Panxi is now his fiancée and she has done nothing wrong.

She did not make things difficult for Meng Xiyue, and both of their actions were reasonable.

He couldn't ignore Cui Panxi's face.

Just bear with it for a while, everything will be fine once you leave the palace.

He told himself so in his heart.

He and Cui Panxi paid their respects to the queen together. The queen liked Cui Panxi very much and talked to her for a long time.

He also gave away a lot of things as rewards.

Meng Xiyue always stood at the edge, like a sculpture, motionless.

"Mother, it's getting late, we..."

"It's getting late, it's time for lunch, so stay and have lunch before leaving."

The Queen said, "Yier hasn't had dinner with mother for a long time."

"Then we will go to the palace often to accompany Her Majesty from now on." Cui Panxi comforted her sweetly.

"My daughter-in-law is so considerate."

The Queen was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
