I traveled through time just for the jade hairpin, I never wanted to be the queen

Xiaoyin was also surprised when she saw the three shabby dishes on the table.

"Why are there only two or three dishes? And the portions are so small?" Xiaoyin asked hurriedly when she saw that the maid who delivered the dishes had not left yet.

Ling Xiyue also looked at the maid, wanting to know the answer as well.

The maid glanced at Xiaoyin and said calmly, "This was made in the kitchen. I am only responsible for delivering it. I don't know anything else."

"Made in the kitchen?" Ling Xiyue confirmed again.

"Yes." The maid nodded.

Ling Xiyue frowned upon hearing this and muttered, "Why did the kitchen reduce my food allowance? Who gave the order?"

The maid heard Ling Xiyue's words, but she did not answer. Instead, she asked impatiently, "Prince's Consort, is there anything else? If not, I have other work to do."

As soon as the words fell, Xiaoyin was unhappy. She asked the maid sternly, "What's your attitude? Is there anyone who talks to the master like this?"

The maid was not afraid, but rather looked unconvinced, "Yes, it is my fault, is that ok? If there is really nothing else, I will go and get busy."

Xiaoyin was furious. She complained to Ling Xiyue, "Miss, look, this girl is disrespectful and is rebelling against her?"

The maid saw this and looked disdainful and indifferent.

Ling Xiyue looked at the maid's arrogant expression and guessed what she meant. She gestured to the maid,

"You are busy, so you can leave first."

"Yes." The maid glanced at Xiaoyin and walked out muttering to herself.

Xiaoyin looked at the maid's back and became angrier and angrier. She really didn't understand.

"Miss, that girl just now was really rebellious. Why don't you punish her? Otherwise, she will think we are easy to bully."

"It's not just this girl who's rebelling, but everyone in the entire mansion is rebelling." Ling Xiyue said coldly.

Xiaoyin was stunned and asked anxiously: "Miss, what do you mean?"

"Your Highness, they haven't come to my room for six days since my wedding. They must think that I am not favored, so they don't take me seriously." Ling Xiyue analyzed.

"But, even if she is not favored, the eldest lady is still the eldest prince's consort after all. Her status and position are there. Why aren't they afraid of being punished by the eldest prince?" Xiaoyin was puzzled.

"If the eldest prince cared about me, wouldn't he come to see me?" Ling Xiyue asked back.

Xiaoyin was suddenly speechless.

"So, they concluded that the eldest prince would definitely not care about my affairs, so they were so presumptuous." Ling Xiyue added.

Xiaoyin then realized the seriousness of the problem and she became anxious.

"What should we do? We can't just let them ignore it, right?"

Ling Xiyue looked at the food and began to ponder.

Xiaoyin watched quietly.

Not long after, Ling Xiyue's mouth tilted to the left, and a plan came to her mind.

"Xiaoyin, I have a plan. Just cooperate with me later." Ling Xiyue raised her eyebrows at Xiaoyin cunningly.

Xiaoyin was overjoyed, "Miss, please speak quickly."

Ling Xiyue whispered a lot into Xiaoyin's ear.

After hearing this, Xiaoyin said with some concern: "Miss, I feel sorry for you, can you change to something else?"

Ling Xiyue disagreed. She shook her head and said, "If you change to something else, it won't have the same effect."

"This..." Xiaoyin was still hesitating.

Ling Xiyue interrupted Xiaoyin and said, "Don't hesitate, just do it."

After saying that, Ling Xiyue picked up the plate on the table and smashed it to the ground with force. Then, she picked up a piece of debris and without hesitation, cut a small cut on her left wrist. Blood immediately gushed out.

Xiaoyin was stunned by Ling Xiyue's boldness.

"Xiaoyin, hurry, call someone." Ling Xiyue saw Xiaoyin in a daze and hurriedly reminded her.

Xiaoyin finally reacted. She ran to the door and shouted, "Someone, someone, something's happened to the eldest prince's wife. Something's happened."

The guards outside who heard the shouting rushed in immediately and saw Ling Xiyue squatting on the ground with her left wrist covered in blood. They were all stunned.

When Ling Xiyue saw the guards coming in, she staggered a few times, then fell to the ground and fainted.

"Someone, go and call the doctor."

……

Ling Xiyue was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and not opening them.

But she knew that it was the guard who carried her to the bed and then casually bandaged the wound to prevent further bleeding.

Not long after, the doctor came to treat her wound, re-bandaged it, prescribed some medicine, and told the maids to prepare it.

Just as the doctor was about to leave, He Tingxi finally came over, pushed by Shi Hui.

"What's wrong? Is it serious?" He Tingxi asked as soon as he saw the doctor.

"Your Highness, the bleeding on the Crown Prince's wife's wrist fortunately stopped in time, so there is nothing serious." The doctor answered respectfully when he saw He Tingxi.

"Will it leave scars?" He Tingxi continued to ask.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. It's just a superficial wound and it won't leave scars." The doctor responded truthfully.

"That's good, go down." He Tingxi breathed a sigh of relief and ordered.

"Yes." The doctor responded and left.

He Tingxi signaled Shi Hui to come forward with his eyes. When Shi Hui saw him, he immediately pushed He Tingxi to the bedside.

After looking at Ling Xiyue lying on the bed, He Tingxi frowned and questioned Xiaoyin who was standing at the end of the bed.

"Why was the eldest princess injured? How did you take care of her?"

Xiaoyin was startled and quickly knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, the wound on the wrist was cut by the eldest lady herself. I didn't have time to stop it. It was my negligence. Please punish me, Your Highness." Xiaoyin looked guilty.

"She cut it herself? Why?" He Tingxi was stunned and frowned slightly.

After Xiaoyin calmed down, she said in a tearful voice, "Just now, the maids in the mansion only brought two or three small dishes to the young lady. When she asked the maids, she impatiently said that it was arranged by the kitchen. The young lady felt uncomfortable when she heard that. She told me that she wanted to marry here, take good care of His Highness, and be his good wife. In the end, not only did she not have the chance, but she was also treated differently by the maids in the mansion. As soon as she finished speaking, she smashed the plate and cut her wrists."

At this point, the tears in Xiaoyin's eyes slowly flowed down her face.

After Ling Xiyue saw Xiaoyin had said everything she needed to say, she knew it was time to wake up.

She made a weak voice and said to Xiaoyin: "Xiaoyin, this is my business. Don't tell His Highness everything. His Highness is very busy. Don't let His Highness worry about it."

As soon as Xiaoyin saw Ling Xiyue wake up, she immediately stood up, walked to Ling Xiyue, helped Ling Xiyue up, and then put a pillow behind her.

"Miss, everything I said is true." Xiaoyin looked aggrieved.

After saying that, Xiaoyin retreated to the end of the bed, not wanting to block He Tingxi's sight.

He Tingxi looked at the weak Ling Xiyue, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. He turned his head to Shi Hui and said, "Go out and tell housekeeper Xiao to gather all the servants in the mansion in the courtyard and tell them that I have something important to announce."

"Yes." Shi Hui responded and left the room.

Ling Xiyue glanced at Shi Hui and was secretly delighted, but she pretended to be confused and deliberately asked, "Your Highness, what does this mean?"
