Li Jia now has a prejudice against her, and if she says too much, she will just think she is pretentious.
I just hope she won't regret it later.
"I have no objection to you wanting to be the Third Prince's concubine," Prime Minister Li gave Li Jia a deep look, "but the Prime Minister's Mansion can't afford to lose this person. Once you leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, you will no longer have any connection with the Li family."
"Okay," Li Jia nodded without hesitation.
Prime Minister Li snorted coldly and walked away.
The Prime Minister's wife hurriedly followed, and the two went to the main hall.
"Madam, I'm sorry for making you feel so wronged," the Prime Minister patted her hands, feeling a headache when he thought of the mess Li Jia had made.
"I don't know if the Cai family is willing to cancel the engagement. We were supposed to get married before the New Year, and it's only been a few months."
The Prime Minister's wife poured him a cup of tea and comforted him, "Don't worry, Master. I will find a way to deal with this matter. After all, we are the ones who have wronged the Cai family."
......
Unlike Li Jia, the third prince went to Yang Xin's yard as soon as he returned home.
Seeing him come back, Yang Xin hurriedly ran up and took his arm, her voice clear and crisp.
"Brother Chen, you're back."
The Third Prince raised his hand and rubbed her head, then let her pull him into the house and spoke softly.
"It's cold outside. Be careful not to catch a cold if you stand outside."
Yang Xin waved her hand nonchalantly, "I just wanted to see Brother Chen. Why did the emperor summon you today? Did he scold you because of Li Jia again?"
She pushed the Third Prince to sit on the chair, and sat beside him, holding her face with both hands, looking at the Third Prince's flawless handsome face.
With a somewhat dissatisfied tone, he said, "It's obviously Li Jia who is shamelessly pestering you. If you want to blame someone, blame it on Brother Chen, you're too handsome."
The Third Prince was used to her strange words and knew that she was praising his good looks, so he smiled and poured her a cup of tea.
"Father didn't scold me, but you, Xin'er, were wronged."
Yang Xin knew what he was talking about, and said generously and freely, "I'm not wronged. Brother Chen, you don't like them, they are the ones who came to you. This also shows that Brother Chen, you are charming, and I have good taste."
If it is someone that others don’t even look at, then Yang Xin will look down on him. That would be a disgrace to the time traveler.
Hearing her say this, the Third Prince swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Xin'er was so kind and gave him advice, he really couldn't say it out loud.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yang Xin stared at him closely, "Brother Chen, are you hiding something from me? We agreed not to hide things from each other."
The third prince pondered for a moment, observing Yang Xin's expression, and told her that the emperor wanted to choose a wife for him.
Looking at Yang Xin's frozen smile, he tried to say something, but before he opened his mouth, Yang Xin stood up suddenly, his eyes full of disappointment.
“Brother Chen, I know you’re in a bad situation, so your backyard is full of women. As long as you don’t touch them, I’ll tolerate it.”
She tried her best to suppress the tears that were about to burst out, "But you clearly promised me that the position of the principal wife would be mine, and you also promised to be with me for the rest of my life."
The Third Prince held her shoulders and patiently coaxed her, "Xin'er, you know I have no power to resist now. It's normal for men to have three wives and four concubines here. It's different from the place you came from."
Yang Xin is special, smart, talented, and different from other women, and he likes this very much.
But he didn't understand why Yang Xin insisted on being together for the rest of her life.
"What's the difference?" Yang Xin struggled to break free from his hand. "We're all men. If we can do that, why can't you? If you can't do it, don't mess with me."
After saying that, she wiped away her tears, turned around and ran out.
......
Yu Yiluo knew nothing about what was happening outside and spent half a month in peace.
She didn't know why the tyrant hadn't taken her to court or visited her recently.
But she was happy to see it happen, thinking that this was the life the baby should live at the moment.
Being close to my beautiful mother every day makes me feel that life is so wonderful.
"Your Majesty, the rumor in the palace is that the little princess has fallen out of favor."
Hua Rui, another personal maid of Concubine Li, whispered beside her.
"Huari, why are you gossiping in front of the Empress?"
Aunt Zhang came in with hot tea and warned.
Huarui is loyal, but she puts everything on the table and speaks too directly, which easily offends people.
"I just think they're talking nonsense," Hua Rui shrank her neck. "Although the Emperor didn't come to the Empress's palace, he did send a lot of gifts to the little princess."
Concubine Li looked at Hua Rui with amusement and interrupted their conversation.
"Since you think they're talking nonsense, why bother paying any attention? There are so many people talking in the palace. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you to care about everything?"
Huarui nodded seriously, looking like she had learned something.
"I understand."
"Now that you understand, go get the charcoal."
Nanny Zhang sent Hua Rui away, worried that Yu Yiluo would catch a cold, and turned around to close the window.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the virtuous concubine will be selecting a wife for the third prince soon, and will ask all the noble ladies to participate in the selection."
Concubine Li put down the book in her hand and raised her eyebrows.
"The prince is making such a big fuss about choosing a concubine. Concubine Xian is probably trying to use this opportunity to establish her authority!"
Now that Concubine Xian is in charge of the harem, if she wants to put a pressure on others, she will take this opportunity to show that she is valued by the emperor.
"Isn't it? Recently, the virtuous concubine has replaced many of her people. I don't know what the emperor thinks."
Concubine Li smiled indifferently, "The emperor's mind is hard to predict, but it has nothing to do with us."
As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and changed the subject.
"I asked you to go to the Imperial Hospital to see Doctor Lin. Did you do it?"
Luo'er's eyes have now returned to normal, all thanks to Doctor Lin.
"I checked, and Doctor Lin is fine. I just heard that Doctor Xu was beheaded."
Beheading? Concubine Li was slightly surprised.
She hadn't even taken action to avenge Luo'er yet, but the emperor acted so quickly.
The two talked for a while, and Huarui, who went to get charcoal, came in crying.
"What's going on?" Aunt Zhang asked hurriedly, "Didn't you get the charcoal?"
Huarui handed the charcoal to Aunt Zhang.
"I got the charcoal, why are you crying?"
After seeing the charcoal clearly, Aunt Zhang understood what was going on. She looked up and noticed a slap mark on one side of Huarui's face.
"What's going on?"
Concubine Li stood up and saw the slap mark on Huarui's face. She frowned, turned around, took a bottle of anti-swelling medicine and handed it to Nanny Zhang.
"Apply the medicine to the pistil first."
Nanny Zhang pulled Huarui to sit down and applied medicine on her before asking.
"What's going on?"
Huarui opened her mouth and wanted to cry, and Aunt Zhang glanced at her.
"I just applied the medicine. Don't waste it by crying."
"The people from the Imperial Household Department said it wasn't winter yet, so they wouldn't give me any charcoal," Hua Rui held back her tears and sniffed. "I told them the little princess needed some, but they gave me this inferior charcoal instead. I got so angry that I started arguing with them."
