Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 1224

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

Cui Jingjing sat on the edge of the bed, wearing a wedding dress that the Crown Prince had carefully prepared, though it wasn't the phoenix-embroidered robe.

She became a little nervous when she heard people outside bowing.

She knew from the start that she could never become his principal wife.

But she loved him, and there was no one more suitable than him.

Only by marrying him can my mother, brother, and maternal grandmother be protected from being bullied.

She will be able to bring her father out one day.

"You may all leave!" Murong Yunlie said, his cheeks slightly flushed after drinking the wine.

After taking the wine glass and asking the others to leave, only the two of them remained in the room.

"Jingjing, drink this cup of nuptial wine. We're husband and wife now. I know I've wronged you." Murong Yunlie handed her the cup.

Cui Jingjing looked at him, and the two drank together.

“Your Highness, I am not wronged. You have already been very good to me.”

"It is my blessing to be able to marry Your Highness and to be favored by Your Highness."

Murong Yunlie put his arm around her. "Yes, the Crown Princess is gentle. As long as you don't do anything out of line, she won't make things difficult for you."

“I know you want to bring your father out, but it’s not possible now.”

Cui Jingjing nodded. "I know. It's getting late. Your Highness, I will attend to you."

"Jingjing, we don't need to be so formal." Murong Yunlie lowered his head and kissed her cheek, then pulled her onto the bed behind him.

......

The next day, Cui Jingjing went to pay her respects to Zhou Yumin.

"Little sister, get up quickly."

Zhou Yumin did not make things difficult for her, and his complexion was even rosier than hers. In the past three months, His Highness had only favored him.

She was already very content, and she understood in her heart that a man like Murong Yunlie could not possibly have only one woman.

Not everyone can be like Murong Yu, staying with only one person for a lifetime.

She is very satisfied with her life now.

"Thank you, sister." Cui Jingjing looked at her in surprise.

"Is my sister pregnant?"

Zhou Yumin touched her lower abdomen, her smile gentle. "Yes. His Highness already knows. I only told him this morning."

"His Highness still dotes on you; he only came to see me this morning."

Because last night was Cui Jingjing's wedding night, and the Crown Prince was fond of her, he lingered with her all night, so Cui Jingjing couldn't get up the next day.

It's already noon.

If Murong Yunlie hadn't reminded him, anyone else would have been punished by the wife long ago.

Cui Jingjing smiled and said, "Congratulations, sister."

Seeing that she showed no jealousy whatsoever, Zhou Yumin breathed a sigh of relief. "My sister will also have His Highness's children in the future, and we will serve His Highness together."

They all knew that the Crown Prince disliked infighting in the inner quarters. He made it clear when he married them that he would give them what they deserved, but they were not allowed to scheme against each other out of jealousy.

The Crown Prince's bottom line is that jealousy and rivalry are allowed, but scheming and harming others are not.

Cui Jingjing is a smart person, and so is Zhou Yumin.

The legal wife entered the house first and became pregnant first.

The Crown Prince gave Zhou Yumin the respect she deserved, so she had no reason to cause trouble.

Then he can stay with Cui Jingjing forever.

The two of them are indeed more comfortable together, and Murong Yunlie is more gentle in front of Cui Jingjing.

Zhou Yumin saw this and felt uncomfortable, but she wasn't jealous. She only used her child to compete for favor.

Later, Cui Jingjing also became pregnant, and Zhou Yumin proposed taking a concubine, but Murong Yunlie did not agree.

"No need, the backyard is enough for you and Jingjing."

Zhou Yumin was surprised, and only then did she realize that the Crown Prince was not a womanizer; his arrangement was simply for the best interests of the current situation. Her father held great power in the court, and he needed to marry her to stabilize the court.

He liked Cui Jingjing and didn't want others to attack her, so he gave her to his concubine to protect her.

Zhou Yumin felt a pang of jealousy after understanding, but she also realized that the Crown Prince had made it clear from the beginning.

There's nothing to be jealous of now, after all, she's the Crown Princess now and will be the Empress in the future. As long as I do my job well, the Crown Prince won't treat me unfairly.

Three years after both of them had children, Murong Yunlie ascended the throne as emperor.

He only had two women by his side, Zhou Yumin and Cui Jingjing.
