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

The concubine will be coming in three days. It's almost dark. Could it be that something unexpected has happened again? Does he need to find a big rooster to make up the number this time?

Xiang Ling was stopped by Manager Zhai, who first asked her about her experiences and interesting things that happened during her trip to the south. Xiang Ling did not hide anything and told her everything in detail.

Mu Xueli learned that Xiangling had returned, but after waiting for a long time she still hadn't seen her come to pay her respects, so she asked Xiangshui to come out and check on the situation.

"Xiangling, you're back. Why don't you go in and pay your respects to the young lady? Have you become more carefree after being away for a while? You have to be clear-headed. If the young lady doesn't give you face, it will be useless even if you climb into the prince's bed." Xiangshui said.

If it was the Xiang Ling from before, she might have been unable to resist retorting after hearing these words, but after this trip, her horizons had broadened a lot and she felt that perfume was too petty. No wonder she could only be a maid all her life.

"I was just about to go over there. Just now, Manager Zhai asked me about the prince's situation on the road, so I was delayed for some time." Xiang Ling explained.

Mu Xueli looked at Xiang Ling carefully, waved her hand to drive away the other servants in the room, and then asked Xiang Ling: "From your appearance, haven't you finished your work yet?"

Xiang Ling knelt on the ground and said, "Yes."

Mu Xueli was so angry that she stood up and slapped Xiang Ling hard. "You're useless. You can't even handle such a small matter, and you still have the nerve to come back."

Xiang Ling felt wronged. If climbing into Prince Rui's bed was that easy, you wouldn't have let me go. She was just a punching bag. "Please punish me, young lady!"

"Punishment? That's wishful thinking. Then why didn't Lin Yan come back with you? And where did the prince go?"

"Replying to the princess, I don't know where Aunt Lin went. After entering the city, I was arranged to get in the carriage alone, and then the prince and the seventh prince went to see the emperor."

"Could it be that Zhao Yuan intends to keep Bitch Lin as his mistress?" Mu Xueli frowned and wondered. "Did the prince punish Bitch Lin along the way?"

"no!"

"She is indeed the white moonlight in my heart. I can't bear to touch her even a finger." Mu Xueli was so angry that her teeth were itching, and the expression on her face became a little ferocious.

"actually……"

"What is it? Don't be hesitant. Although I am not favored by the prince now, no one can shake my position as the prince's wife." Mu Xueli widened her eyes and stared at the other party.

"That's actually what I want to say. No matter how much Aunt Lin jumps around, she will always be a concubine. As long as she stays in the palace, she will never be able to turn over the young lady's palm and will always beg for a living under the young lady's hand. If she gives birth to a child in the future, she will have to act according to the young lady's mood even more."

"Hmph!" Mu Xueli's anger subsided a lot. Although she also knew this, she felt that the legal wife was just a decoration, and anyone would be angry about it.

"I discovered along the way that Mistress Lin is just arrogant because of her favor. She has no means at all. Not only that, she keeps pushing the prince away."

"Haha! There are such stupid people, no wonder they fell into the trap so easily." Mu Xueli showed a smug smile. She glanced at Xiang Ling standing beside her, thinking to herself: "This girl is quite clever, but she is still too naive." Then, she turned to Xiang Ling and said: "Since I have given you to the prince, it is not convenient for you to come back to me. You should continue to serve the prince. It would be best if you could have a child." After saying that, she flashed a trace of expectation and desire in her eyes.

Xiang Ling lowered her head, but she couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart. The prince's eyes seemed to always stay on Lin Yan, and he never looked at her directly. She knew that she was of humble status and could not be compared with Lin Yan. But she wanted to be favored by the prince more than anyone else, and she wanted to suppress Lin Yan more urgently than Mu Shirley.

"Miss, you are prettier, smarter, and more capable than Aunt Lin, but the prince has not yet seen these advantages of yours. Sometimes, it is not shameful to take the initiative." Xiang Ling raised her head, looked at Mu Xueli carefully, and put forward her own suggestions. She knew Mu Xueli's mind very well, and she longed for the love of the prince.

Mu Xueli shook her head after hearing Xiang Ling's words, but a sneer appeared on her face. She has always been a proud and conceited woman. In addition to her status as a concubine's daughter, she is better than Lin Yan in terms of appearance, talent and status. Zhao Yuan is blind and always favors Lin Yan, which makes her feel extremely disappointed.

"Why should I please him? I am a legitimate wife, how can I do such a despicable thing?" She said, "If he treats me well, I will naturally treat him well in return. If he treats me badly, why should I treat him well?"

In her previous life, she once lowered herself to please a man, but what she got was beatings and kicks. In this life, she swore that she would only let men please her. Bitch Lin, she had woven countless nets for her to fall into. She wanted to see if Zhao Yuan would still pamper such a fickle woman.

Mu Xueli waved her away and said, "Alright, stop talking. Hurry up and get ready. When the prince comes back, be ready to serve him."

Xiangling quickly responded, lowered her head and stepped back.

Xiangshui said, "Miss, Xiangling has changed her mind, hasn't she?"

"Hmph! She's just a slave girl, what kind of trouble can she cause?" Mu Xueli snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "But we can't be careless. Keep an eye on her from now on. If there is any unusual movement, report to me immediately."

Xiangshui nodded and said, "Yes, don't worry, Miss. I will keep a close eye on her. But..."

"Just what?" Mu Shirley asked.

Xiangshui hesitated for a moment and said, "But Xiangling grew up with us after all. If something really happened to her, wouldn't it be a pity?"

"Humph! She's just a lowly maid, what's so sad about that?" Mu Xueli sneered, "If you dare to betray me, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"

"Yes, young lady is right, I was mistaken." Xiangshui nodded quickly and said, "However, Xiangling is also unlucky. Young lady praised her so much, but she didn't know what was good for her. The second prince is different."

"That's right. Zhao Yuan actually discarded a woman like me who is both talented and beautiful. He simply doesn't know her worth." Mu Xueli said angrily, "One day, I will let him know what he has missed."

"Miss, you are right. With your status and beauty, you should have chosen the second prince from the beginning. What a pity." Xiangxiang said flatteringly.

Mu Xueli didn't say anything. She remembered that in her previous life, the second prince killed the crown prince and became the crown prince. She didn't expect that when she accidentally met him on the street some time ago, the second prince actually took the initiative to talk to her and said that he had always had a good impression of her. Who knew that she would take the initiative to ask to marry Zhao Yuan, which made him cry for a long time. It seemed that she really missed a very important person.

Mu Xueli waved her hand and said, "Let's not say these spoiling words. Go and prepare some wine and food, and wait for the prince to return from the palace and serve him well."

"Yes, miss." Xiangshui retreated respectfully.

Mu Xueli sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror, imagining that if the person standing behind her was the second prince, the couple would live in harmony, which would definitely be a good story in the capital. She might even be able to become the queen in the end, is it impossible to change?
