The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

There are ten days of vacation after the final exams.

Originally, Su Li planned to spend a few days at the manor to escape the summer heat, but because of the kidnapping of Prince Su, she had to change her plan temporarily.

Although the kidnapping incident was finally resolved, the situation in the court suddenly became tense. The struggle between Prince Jing, Prince Heng, and Prince Kang also became tense overnight.

The situation outside was tense, so Pei Heng specifically told Su Li not to take the children out to play.

So these days, the mother and her two children have to stay at home.

Pei Heng didn't know what he was busy with. After recovering every day, he would take his mute slave and hide in the study. Sometimes he would be busy for several hours.

Su Li had no choice but to take the two children out to have fun.

After getting up early and finishing their morning exercises, the mother and her two children planned to go boating on the lake in the Marquis's mansion garden and pick lotus flowers. Then they heard Songzhi outside say that their third aunt had arrived.

Since Su Li married into Qingshan Court, this was the first time she had a guest. Su Li went out to greet them and saw that her third aunt had brought the fifth and sixth daughters with her.

As soon as she entered the door, the third aunt praised her:

"Oh, this Qingshan Courtyard has really changed! You know, it used to be the most remote and secluded place in the entire mansion. Very few people would come here in broad daylight. It's only since you came, Li'er, that it finally feels like a courtyard and a home!"

Su Li smiled and said:

"Since Third Auntie says so, then you should come and visit more often."

"Of course. Look, I brought my two daughters with me today."

Then he asked the fifth and sixth girls to call for help.

The fifth girl is older and will be coming of age on the sixth day of next month. She has an oval face and looks very cheerful.

She bowed generously and said, "Pei Yao greets sister-in-law."

The sixth girl is two years younger than her elder sister, only fourteen years old, with round eyes that make her look very smart.

"Pei Xin has met the sister-in-law."

Su Li also returned the gifts one by one.

Third Aunt asked, "Is Brother Heng feeling better?"

Su Li smiled and said, "That's it. It's time to go to bed now."

"Then let's not disturb him. Let's talk."

Su Li didn't mean to hide her third aunt Pei Heng's illness, but she had to be on guard. Although she had a good impression of her third aunt's family, they were not close friends.

Don't dare to deliver easily.

So after sitting for a while, Su Li said:

"Third Aunt, the yard is boring. The three of us were planning to go boating on the lake and pick lotus flowers. Why don't we all join us?"

When they heard there was something to do, the fifth and sixth girls couldn't sit still. The third aunt said with a smile, "Look at these two girls, they just can't wait. Let's go for a walk together."

Pei Yao and Pei Xin took Xi Jie'er to the front, and Huan Ge'er followed his sister closely.

With a group of maids serving, the garden suddenly became lively.

The rippling blue waves on the lake are indeed much more refreshing.

The children went boating. Third Aunt took Su Li to the pavilion by the lake to talk. Suddenly she said:

"Have you heard? Imperial Concubine Wen has issued an imperial decree to summon that Liu into the palace."

Catkins?

Why did Concubine Wen summon her?

Su Li pricked up her ears and listened, and sure enough, she heard her third aunt say, "I don't know what unorthodox means that Liu had taken. After she came back from having a meal in the palace, Concubine Wen sent someone to tell my eldest sister-in-law to take Liu as her concubine."

When Su Li heard this, she understood why her third aunt had come to visit her today. It turned out she was here to gossip with her.

She smiled and said, "Your concubine? Then is the Ninth Princess willing too?"

"Of course the Ninth Princess didn't want to do that. I heard she stormed into the palace."

"Is there still this?"

"Isn't it?" Third Auntie folded a lotus flower and played with it in her hands, saying softly, "This Liu woman is really quite capable and resourceful. Even Concubine Wen is on her side now."

Willow catkins have more abilities than just this!

Others don’t know, but Su Li knows it clearly.

Liu Xu is now trapped by the Marquis' Mansion. If she is allowed to move freely, the world will probably change color.

However, it is unknown what conditions she offered to win the support of Concubine Wen. Since Liu Xu surrendered to Concubine Wen, does that mean that she has chosen to side with Prince Jing this time?

It seems that the plot has taken a 180-degree turn.

I don’t know if Liu Xu’s move will refresh the plot?

Su Li's heart was in a knot.

……

"boom!"

With a loud crisp sound, a huge sky-blue vase in Concubine Li's Palace was smashed out by the Ninth Princess and shattered all over the ground.

Outside the hall, everyone knelt on the ground in silence.

From inside, I could faintly hear Concubine Li’s sobbing voice:

"Weier! What are you crazy about?!"

The Ninth Princess raised a vase in her hand and smashed it against the wall. Her face was covered with tears and she gasped for breath.

"Why! Why does she care about what happens in my room?"

"Stop talking, stop talking, Wei'er! It would be bad if she heard it! Put the vase down quickly, don't hurt yourself." Concubine Li looked at the vase in the Ninth Princess's hand, fearing that she would hit her in the next second.

"Hear? I'm afraid she heard it!!"

"Mother, you usually obey her orders and give her the upper hand in everything. Does she really think she is the master of this harem, second only to you and everyone else? Mother, haven't we both suffered enough from her over the years?"

"Why? Why does she even have to control my family affairs?"

"Has she ever thought about me? I just summoned my husband less than a month ago, and she's already given him a concubine to embarrass me! She wants me to become the laughing stock of the entire Shengjing and lose face! She's not even the Empress yet! Noble Consort, no matter how you look at it, she's just a concubine herself! What right does she have..."

"Shut up!"

In desperation, Concubine Li slapped the Ninth Princess in the face.

With a snap, both mother and daughter were stunned.

The Ninth Princess threw the bottle in her hand with a bang, sat down on the ground, kicked her legs, and burst into tears.

"Weier! Weier! Mother didn't mean it! Weier! Does it hurt? Mother was wrong. Mother shouldn't hit you!" Concubine Li hugged the Ninth Princess and burst into tears.

"Mother! You are obviously the emperor's favorite concubine, and I am obviously the emperor's favorite princess! Why do we have to suffer such injustice? Why! Ah!!"

The Ninth Princess's cries pierced Concubine Li's heart. She felt aggrieved and had no words to say.

Although Concubine Li was favored by the emperor throughout her life, she only gave birth to one princess, Li Wei. Although she had been pregnant with two boys before, they both died in the womb due to dystocia.

If not for this, she would not have had to rely on Concubine Wen to plan a long-term wealth and glory for the future of mother and daughter for so many years.

But Concubine Li also knew that although Concubine Wen appeared humble and docile, she was actually a ruthless person who kept her word.

If you follow her, it will be perfectly fine.

But if you touch her reverse scale, you will die without knowing how.

Pei Yan was Concubine Wen's nephew, so it made sense for her to appoint a concubine for her nephew.

But my daughter has only been married for half a month.

By doing this, Concubine Wen clearly showed that she did not take her and her daughter seriously at all.

Seeing her daughter crying so sadly, Concubine Li's heart was broken.

"Wei'er! Stop crying! We can't beat her. You can cry in front of your mother, but don't make her unhappy outside! Otherwise, when Prince Jing ascends the throne, you and I will have a rough life!"

Concubine Li hugged her daughter and whispered to him.

The Ninth Princess nestled in Concubine Li's arms and cried for a long time before wiping her tears and saying:

"Mother, I understand."

"Good boy! Mother knows that although you may be a bit unruly and domineering, you do understand right from wrong. This matter is already a foregone conclusion, and there's nothing we can do to change it. We can only swallow our anger and accept it."

The Ninth Princess nodded.

The mother and daughter talked about some personal matters.

As soon as the Ninth Princess left the palace, her eyes instantly became fierce. She slammed her palm on the small table in the carriage and said angrily:

"Does she think she's secured the throne of the Empress Dowager? And that bitch surnamed Liu, does she think she can go against this princess just because she has the Imperial Concubine backing her up? It's still unclear who will have the last laugh! The humiliation they inflicted on me today, I'll make them pay back double, a hundredfold!"
