I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

A Yan's wonderful ideas, vigor and laziness, little thoughts, little willfulness, smart eyes... all attracted him deeply. When he was with Lin Yan, he always felt that the time was not enough. Even if he didn't say a word, he felt inexplicably very satisfied in his heart.

He was not surprised at all that A Yan made a mistake. She had never been a well-behaved woman. This time she made a big mistake and he came out to look for her, but he was reluctant to punish her.

He knew from the beginning to the end that Lin Yan didn't really like him, but so what? He just couldn't let her go and would keep her by his side.

Lin Yan's fuss only made him feel more distressed and guilty towards her.

It's so funny that a prince can't even hold the heart of a concubine. If his brothers knew about this, they would be so amused that they would die.

He sighed and reached out to tuck the hair that had mischievously escaped from Lin Yan's ear back behind her ear.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

When Mu Xueli got the news, she was so angry that she broke the folding umbrella in her hand into two pieces. Several plots failed. Not only did Lin Yan not die, but she was also found by Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan even caught several people from the secret door, but finally used Lin Yan to release them. It was really ridiculous.

But it was also good this way, as long as Lin Yan stepped into the Rui Wang Mansion again, she now had plenty of ways to make her disappear quietly. This way, Zhao Yuan must see Lin Yan's body with his own eyes, which was also the best way to make Zhao Yuan give up.

The maids and servants in the Crescent Moon Courtyard had been released by Zhai Zizhuang in advance. The Crescent Moon Courtyard had been newly decorated, and the people who needed to be bribed had already been bribed. The Rui Palace was now her territory, and she had already done all the work on the surface. Wait…

The personal maid Xiangshui came to report: "Princess, Miss Chen requests to see you."

"That Miss Chen?" Mu Xueli was confused.

"The home of Chen Chong, the Minister of Works; Miss Chen Qingqing, the second daughter of the Chen family; and Concubine Chen who is about to marry into the family!" Xiangshui explained in detail.

"The prince hasn't come back yet, what is she doing here?" Mu Xueli was confused.

"I asked, but Miss Chen refused to say anything and just asked to see you," Xiangshui said.

Mu Xueli sneered and said, "Okay, let her in. Another one who is eager to get married."

The little bitch surnamed Lin hasn't come back yet, and now another one pops up. It's just in time, just in time to plant some seeds of jealousy.

As she was thinking this, Chen Qingqing had already stood in front of her.

Chen Qingqing bowed respectfully, and Mu Xueli stood up enthusiastically, took her hand, and asked Xiangshui to arrange a neighboring seat for them and served them a cup of jasmine tea.

"I wonder what business Miss Chen has come for today. Just tell me. I will give you my full support and cooperation." Mu Shirley said kindly.

Chen Qingqing was a little nervous at first, but after hearing Mu Xueli's tone, the tension and anxiety in her heart faded a lot. She smiled lightly and asked softly, "Princess Rui, it's not a big deal. I just want to know where Prince Rui is now and when he can return to the capital?"

Mu Xueli sat at the head of the table. After Chen Qingqing asked the question, she remained silent for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "Miss Chen, are you worried about the postponement of the wedding date?"

Chen Qingqing blushed slightly, smiled shyly, and picked up the teacup to hide her embarrassment.

"I understand. After all, marriage is a big deal, and every woman would be cautious." Mu Xueli continued, "It will probably take more than a month, if there is no delay on the way."

Chen Qingqing frowned in confusion and asked, "You are deliberately delaying me. Has the prince not finished his official duties yet?"

"This... I heard that it seems to be something that is not very related to official business!" Mu Xueli stopped here, as if she was a little unable to speak. She stroked the tea leaves in the tea bowl and began to drink them in small sips.

Chen Qingqing was a little dissatisfied. What did she mean by saying half of the words? Mu Xueli must have known that she was deliberately teasing her. What could have happened that could make the prince deliberately postpone his return to Beijing and disrespect her so much?

Xiangshui glanced at Mu Xueli, stepped forward and said, "Miss Chen, do you know how many concubines our prince has in his backyard now?"

Chen Qingqing thought about it and felt that since she hadn't married into the family yet, it was not appropriate to comment on what was happening in the backyard, so she simply shook her head.

Xiang Shui sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. "The prince has three concubines in the backyard, but our prince has always favored the one who lives in the Crescent Moon Courtyard. Now the one in the Crescent Moon Courtyard is said to have died of illness, but in fact, she pretended to be sick and ran away."

Chen Qingqing's eyes widened and she stood up suddenly, "Escape, escape?" She moved too much and actually knocked over the cup of tea that had just been served, spilling the tea all over her skirt.

Mu Xueli took a deep look at Xiangxiang and said in a deep voice: "You little girl, why are you so unruly? Although Miss Chen is already one of us, she hasn't entered the house yet. How can you let her think too much?"

Chen Qingqing's eyes darkened. There were many unreliable people in every family, and this Prince Rui was extremely unreliable. He was destined to be a wife-killer, but something like this happened. Could it be that his father had made a mistake this time?

Xiangshui came over in a hurry to clean up, and while she was cleaning up, she was not idle either: "That person escaped, and our prince used the name of an errand to chase him out. I heard that he was found some time ago, but that person is a bit delicate, so he was a little slow on his way back."

Mu Shirley added fuel to the fire, "It's not too cold or too hot today, it's perfect for a trip to the south of the Yangtze River."

After Xiangshui packed up her things, she showed a disgusted expression on her face and continued, "Bah, that Tianshaguxing is just a shameless vixen. Besides using some despicable and vulgar means to seduce men, she doesn't know any rules. Let's not talk about other things for now. It's almost October now. She knew that the prince's wedding was approaching, but she deliberately didn't come back. I really don't know what she was thinking!"

Mu Xueli sighed softly, and then continued to sing a duet with Xiangshui: "Actually, I don't mind it, but I just think it's a pity. My sister is so beautiful and cute, and before she officially got married, someone has already snatched away the glory that should belong to her."

Chen Qingqing listened to their conversation and could only smile awkwardly, then lowered her head to drink tea. As the wedding date was getting closer, she couldn't help but start to worry whether she would be like the unlucky Mu Xueli in front of her, with nothing prepared and could only marry into the palace in a shabby way. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly blame Lin Yan in her heart.

Seeing this, Mu Xueli hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, sister. After all, you are the concubine appointed by the emperor himself. I think no matter how much the prince likes that woman, he should not dare to easily ignore your status."

Chen Qingqing pursed her lips awkwardly: "This time the emperor issued an order for another sister."

"She is just the daughter of a minor official of the sixth rank. How can she compare with my sister?" Mu Xueli said.
