Chapter 312: Making People's Lives Difficult (Additional Update)
Xing'er asked, somewhat confused: "If she wanted to see me, why did she ask me to come over? It's not me who wants to see her, so shouldn't she be the one looking for me? Is there something wrong with her legs that prevents her from walking?"
Xiaowen was touched by Xing'er's innocent look.
But she quickly came to her senses: "Because... because she's the Concubine, she holds a high position, so I have to obey her. If I dare to disobey her, then... the consequences will be serious!"
Xing'er continued to ask: "Who has the highest position in your mansion?"
This question was easy to answer. Xiao Wen answered without hesitation: "Of course it's the Second Prince. He is the master of this palace, and everyone has to listen to him."
Xing'er nodded thoughtfully and said, "If I can get the Second Prince to listen to me, then I don't have to listen to the Concubine anymore, right?"
Xiaowen couldn't find any words to refute after hearing this.
But she felt that this Miss Xing'er might not be very smart. As the saying goes, men are good at lying. How could a prince listen to a girl?
This girl Xing'er is so naive that she actually has such an idea.
The Second Prince must have been coaxed back by the girl because she was pretty.
Xiaowen is now full of sympathy for Xing'er.
"Miss Xing'er, if you can get the Second Prince to listen to you, then you really don't have to listen to the Concubine. But if you offend the Concubine, then your life in this mansion won't be easy!"
Xing'er naturally ignored Xiaowen's next words and said directly: "Okay, I won't go!"
When Concubine Ye heard the news from Shuixieju, she was so angry that she smashed several cups.
She has been in the Second Prince's Mansion for three years. His Highness has never brought back any woman from outside. Although there are many concubines in the mansion, they were all given by others. His Highness would only take them in when he could not refuse. His Highness has never treated them differently.
Now, His Highness has only been out for a while, and he has brought back a woman of unknown origin, and arranged her directly to the Waterside Residence which is closest to his bedroom. How could Concubine Ye not feel a sense of crisis?
She had told His Highness about this Waterside Residence several times, but His Highness had never agreed to let her move in. Now, he let a woman of unknown origin live there. How could she not be jealous?
Concubine Ye was really about to die of anger.
Nanny Qian, who was beside Concubine Ye, was afraid that her mistress would act on impulse, so she stepped forward to advise her: "Your Majesty, please don't act rashly. Let's wait for His Highness to return. In my opinion, this girl is also brainless. She is relying on His Highness's favor and is fearless. Wait until His Highness returns from the palace and we will see whether His Highness really values her. If His Highness does value her, Your Majesty, you will teach her a lesson, but that will only make His Highness unhappy. Just treat her as air and don't take it to heart!"
"She doesn't even take me seriously, so do I have to endure it?"
"Your Highness, why should we rush into this? She'll be staying in this mansion for quite some time. If something happens to her, or she dies of some disease, that's normal, isn't it? This girl has just arrived in the mansion, and Your Highness must still be very curious about her. Why should we rush in now? A little impatience can ruin a great plan!"
Concubine Ye seemed to be persuaded by Nanny Qian, and her original anger subsided a little. She felt that Nanny was right. There was no main wife in this mansion now, and the finances of the mansion were in her hands. She had the final say in everything. She really didn't need to care about a woman of unknown origin. At worst, if she couldn't stand her in the future, she could find a reason to deal with her casually. Anyway, it was very normal for one or two women to disappear in this backyard.
As long as she is a woman in the harem, she will not last forever. She will endure it for the time being. Let's see how long she can be so arrogant!
"Alright, Ma'am, I've taken note of what you said. Find someone to watch at the gate of the mansion. If His Highness comes out of the palace, please notify me immediately so that I can welcome him."
"Yes, my lady!"
Beidi Palace.
The Northern Di Emperor, Yelu Haoran, sat on a high seat. His body, hollowed out by alcohol and sex, looked a little decadent, with dark circles under his eyes and loose skin. In less than half a year, he had aged more than ten years.
He looked at his son with a somewhat cloudy look in his eyes: "I heard that you brought back a woman this time?"
Upon hearing this, Yelu Qi's body tensed up and he subconsciously looked at Prince Yongyi who was also standing next to him. He had just returned to the imperial city, and the news had already reached his father's palace. It was obvious who had leaked the secret.
His good brother the emperor is always trying to make things difficult for him!
Even though Yelu Qi mentally greeted Yelu Feng's ancestors for eighteen generations, he had obviously forgotten that Yelu Feng's ancestors were also his eighteen generations of ancestors. However, he still said respectfully to the Northern Di Emperor: "Reporting to the Emperor, it is true!"
"I met that girl on my way back. She had a miserable life and no home to go to, so I brought her back and settled her in my mansion!"
"My son, as the Second Prince of Beidi, you must not be so ungrateful as to bring any random person back to your palace and place him there. If you do that, how can I safely hand over the Beidi royal family to you? How can I trust you to carry forward the Beidi royal family? You are still too young. Look at your brother. Although he didn't grow up by my side, he has been able to do every task I gave him beautifully!"
"As the Second Prince of Beidi, you can't be too soft-hearted!"
Xing'er: You are the one who is a nobody, your whole family is a nobody!
I am your aunt, I am your aunt, do you know that?
Yelu Qi lowered his head and replied: "My father is right!"
Yelu Haoran was very pleased to see his son admit his mistake with such a good attitude, "Did you find any clues about that evil thief when you went out this time?"
Of course not!
But could he say that to Yelu Haoran? Of course not. How could he possibly tell Yelu Haoran that he got nothing on this trip and didn't even see the demon thief!
"Father, that evil thief turned the Xuanyuan Dynasty upside down. I have verified this incident and it is indeed true. He repeatedly emptied the entire Xuanyuan Palace, forcing Emperor Shunkang to move to another palace. Not a penny was left in the national treasury!"
"The Xuanyuan Dynasty is now in chaos, with disasters occurring frequently across the country. The royal officials have done nothing, leaving the people in dire straits. The Xuanyuan royal family is showing signs of decline. Now is the perfect time for us, the Northern Di, to send troops to the Xuanyuan Dynasty!"
