After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

In Hanzhang Courtyard, there used to be only two maids serving in the main house, but now there are three maids.

Princess Du sat upright, the corners of her lips, which usually wore a faint smile, were now tightly tightened. Her face was also covered with frost. The cup of tea in her hand had already turned cold, but she had not yet brought it to her lips.

Mother Zhao, who always greeted people with a smile, now stood solemnly behind her with an expressionless face, looking towards the yard from time to time, as if anxiously waiting for something.

With a soft "ding" sound, Princess Du put down the teacup in her hand, still feeling angry.

Having feasted on venison and drunk copious amounts of deer blood wine the previous night, the King of Dingbei, upon returning to his bedroom, clamored for a display of virility. The old man, with his stamina, pinned her to the bed, tossing and turning for most of the night, and naturally, she slept more soundly than usual.

This morning, while she was still half-asleep, she received the news from Shaoguang Courtyard, which stunned her for a long time.

Qingyin, the head maid in her room!

Last night, while she was sleeping, he drew a picture of himself in a seductive and alluring manner, dressed him in half-naked clothes, made a bowl of aphrodisiac that acted as a hangover soup, and personally delivered it to Shaoguangyuan where the prince was.

What’s even worse is that Ajin happened to be away at such an urgent moment.

And the lowly maid Qingyin actually managed to get into the house smoothly. Under the pretext of being Princess Du, she took advantage of Yizhi's drunkenness and tricked him into drinking the bowl of special "sobering soup"!

As soon as the soup went down her throat, she became more excited. That slutty maid kept trying to flirt with the prince again and again, and even shamelessly offered herself to him.

He knew his own son well. Before he met Ajin, Yizhi was a young man whose mind was full of official business and who treated women as nothing.

At one point, she even worried whether she would ever have a grandchild in her lifetime.

It wasn't until he met Ah Jin that she realized her son was also a love-struck man, willing to drink from a single drop of water. Fortunately, her son had good taste and fell in love with an equally outstanding girl.

Only then did she put down her anxious heart and treated Ajin wholeheartedly, hoping that the young couple would love each other and spend their lives together.

As for arranging concubines for her son, she had never thought about it at all!

She herself was a victim of being a concubine in the past, so how could she have the heart to inflict the same pain on Ajin?

Besides, even if she agreed, based on her understanding of Yizhi, he was not someone who could be easily accommodated.

Apart from Ajin, she had never seen her son, the cold-faced prince, being polite to other women.

Based on the above reasons, Princess Du, as a mother-in-law, had no intention of giving a concubine to her son at all.

But Qingyin's actions put her in an extremely embarrassing position.

Will the relationship she and Ajin have cultivated with great difficulty be affected by this incident? Will Ajin think that Qingyin went to Shaoguangyuan because of her suggestion?

Thinking of the problems that would arise from this, Princess Du couldn't help but feel a headache again.

When she was furious, she even thought that Yizhi should have just beaten that bitch to death on the spot last night!

But she also knew very well that even if she was concerned about her dignity as a mother, Ajin would not let Yizhi do that.

After all, she was a girl who had served her for several years and was a living being. Although Princess Du was angry, she still wanted to give Qingyin a chance to survive.

Since she was a maid in her yard, she was also responsible for the scandal because she did not discipline her properly. She could only hold her nose and apologize to Ajin.

I heard that Yizhi was almost insane after drinking the bowl of medicine last night. Mother Wang was so scared that she called someone to ride to Ye's house at night to bring Ajin back.

As soon as she came back, Yizi pulled her into the room. The young couple tossed and turned until almost dawn before they stopped. It shows how powerful the medicine was!

Ajin is a delicate and gentle girl, and Yizhi lost his composure last night. After a night of torture, I wonder if Ajin can still get up today?

Thinking of this, Princess Du felt a surge of heartache again, and instructed Mother Zhao, "Go to our warehouse and pick out some herbs that nourish yin and replenish qi, and send them to Shaoguangyuan later."

"Okay, I'll remember this. I'll pick out some good herbs and personally deliver them to the Crown Princess later."

Mother Zhao knew that Princess Du was distressed by the Crown Prince's Consort and was trying to make amends. She comforted her mistress, "That bitch Qingyin was blinded by greed and committed such a shameful act. It has nothing to do with you, Princess. You and the Crown Prince's Consort share a mother-daughter bond, and the Crown Prince's Consort is always clear-headed and insightful. She will definitely not blame you."

Seeing Princess Du nod slightly, Mother Zhao coaxed her again: "Princess, please relax. When there is movement from Shaoguang Court later, the Crown Prince's Consort will come to see you."

After receiving the comfort from her confidante mother, Princess Du finally calmed down. She was about to send someone to Shaoguang Courtyard to check again when Jin Chu appeared at the gate.

"It's good to have heavy snow in a good year. After this snow, the next year will be a good year again!" Jin Chu said as he walked into the house.

Seeing the three older girls and Mother Zhao were all there, her eyes flashed and she smiled again: "It's so lively here today, Mother."

"Ajin, please sit down and serve your princess a cup of hot jujube tea."

While giving orders to her attendants, Princess Du observed Jin Chu calmly. Seeing that Jin Chu was in good spirits except for being a little sluggish, she felt relieved.

She turned to the other three maids in the room and said straight to the point, "I'm sure you all know about Qingyin's incident last night! Now that Ah Jin is here, you three don't have to leave. We can just deal with this matter cleanly, and you can correct any mistakes you have made, and improve on any mistakes you have made."

Seeing Princess Du speaking so frankly, Jin Chu understood what she meant. Her mother wanted to establish rules on the spot to prevent future troubles!

So, she cooperated and said, "Mother probably already knows about this matter, so Ajin will not elaborate on it. If it were up to the prince, Qingyin would have been beaten to death last night."

Hearing this, the three maids all showed a hint of shock on their faces. The difference was that Yanming and Feixue were only shocked, not afraid. Liuyun, who was close to Qingyin, was both shocked and afraid. She still felt sorry for Qingyin.

Jin Chu took a sip of tea and continued, "Luckily I persuaded her. Although Qingyin did something wrong, she is still a maid in Mother's courtyard. I brought her here today for Mother to deal with."

Princess Du nodded, her eyes filled with relief. "I know you're understanding. Qingyin did this because of my mother's failure to discipline her. Today, I must give you an explanation!"

"The prince said that although he spared Qingyin's life, a girl with such evil intentions cannot be tolerated in our Dingbei Palace!"

Jin Chu didn't beat around the bush and directly said what Su Cheng'an had told him.

This means expelling Qingyin from the Dingbei Palace!

Princess Du felt relieved and readily agreed, "Okay, I'll listen to Yizhi. Bring the girl here and I'll give her a few words. This will complete our master-servant relationship."

After a while, Qingyin, dressed in dirt, was brought over.

When she saw Princess Du, she called out, "Princess," and two lines of tears flowed down her pale face, looking quite pitiful.

Princess Du didn't respond, but just stared at her, as if she wanted to see through her. After a while, she whispered, "Qingyin, when did you start to have feelings for the prince?"

"Five years ago, the prince saved me once. After he came back from his injuries two years ago, I've been attracted to him ever since."

Princess Du frowned slightly. Is this really true?

However, she quickly passed over this and asked, "Then do you know that the Crown Prince has never been close to women, and the only one he can be close to is the Crown Princess. Moreover, he and the Crown Princess are newly married and have a deep affection for each other, so he has no intention of accommodating three people?"

Qingyin sobbed softly as she defended herself, "Qingyin knows that the Crown Prince and his wife are deeply in love, but Qingyin can't control her own heart. Qingyin only wants to serve the Crown Prince and his wife, even if it means being a slave or a maid, she is willing to do so."

As soon as these words came out, Princess Du's gentle eyes suddenly turned cold, and she saw Qingyin still pleading in a low voice: "Princess, you have always been kind-hearted. Considering that I have served you for several years, even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Please let me be your master again!"

This means using the relationship between master and servant to pressure Princess Du and make decisions for her!

"What a long time to serve!"

Princess Du slammed the table and stood up, unable to suppress her anger any longer. "After serving you for a few years, you should know my character! The Crown Prince and his wife are so loving, and as their mother, I am so happy, how could I cause trouble for them?"

"How could you take advantage of me when I wasn't prepared and bully my son and daughter-in-law under my name? And in return you want me to save face for you!"

"You've completely humiliated me. Where do you get the guts to ask me to continue saving face for you? You're truly a slave bullying his master! I think not only are you blinded by greed, you've also lost your sight!"

Qingyin started to cry. Princess Du raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily, "Why are you crying?"

She turned to the other three people in the room and said, "I'm going to say this again today! If any of you dare to set your sights on Shaoguangyuan again, be careful that I'll sell you off! My son and daughter-in-law are doing very well. We don't lack servants to serve them, and we certainly don't need concubines or maids to make do!"

Glancing disdainfully at Qingyin, who was slumped on the ground, Princess Du's voice was filled with deep fatigue and disappointment. "For the sake of our relationship as master and servant, pack up your things and leave the palace! From now on, this Dingbei Palace will have nothing to do with you. You should take care of yourself!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and two rough servants came up and dragged Qingyin from the ground, walking away amid her whimpering.
