East Palace
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess has refused the Flower Festival proposal."
There was not much change on Xiao Muchan's face, as if all this was within his expectations.
"Just reject it. After all, Xu Wanqing has already entered the palace, so the second Miss Xu should be left to Xiao Jingming."
Originally, he planned to capture Xu Wanyan by holding the Flower Festival, but since Xu Wanqing already brought the things, those things were no longer necessary.
"The Crown Princess..."
Hearing this, Xiao Muhan's face darkened. "Is she heartbroken and depressed right now?"
Xiao Yunzi shook her head. "La Mei, who is beside the Crown Princess, said that the Crown Princess has not changed much in the past few days and is still the same as before."
Xiao Muhan curled his lips, "I have high expectations for her. How could a cold-blooded person like her react?"
Xiao Yunzi didn't say anything. He didn't know whose fault it was that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had reached this point today?
"Send someone to keep an eye on the Xu family on the seventh night of the Lunar New Year. Make sure Xu Wanyan marries Xiao Jingming safely."
Xiao Yunzi was a little confused. Could it be that Prince Chen's marriage would encounter another setback?
"Yes, I understand."
"Your Highness, Your Highness"
Just as Xiao Yunzi left, Xu Wanqing's voice floated in.
Xiao Muhan frowned. This woman was really haunting him and kept pestering him.
"Wanqing, why are you here?"
Seeing Xiao Muchan, Xu Wanqing's face showed grievance, "Your Highness, why haven't you seen me for a long time?"
Xiao Muhan felt disgusted in his heart, but his face remained gentle. "I've been too busy lately. I'll be with you when I'm done with this period of time."
No matter how unhappy Xu Wanqing was, she could only act coquettishly. What's more, Xiao Muchan didn't go to the Crown Princess.
Just based on this, she knew that Lin Yue'e had no weight at all in Xiao Muchan's heart.
"Your Highness, my sister is getting married, I..."
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Muchan pretended not to understand what she meant.
Xu Wanqing pouted, "Your Highness, my sister has a status, but I..."
As he spoke, tears began to fall.
Since entering the palace, Xu Wanqing seems to have become a different person. The brainless person before has now started to play tricks.
Xiao Muhan was impatient in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. After a while, he smiled and said, "So, I forgot about this."
Xu Wanqing was immediately overjoyed and said aggrievedly, "Your Highness, you don't know, I, this concubine, have always felt that it is not right for me to live here, and others always look down on me."
"And my mother, she must be missing me."
Xiao Muhan clenched his fists, then said, "Okay, then I will give you a status now. From now on, you will be my concubine."
"Your Highness, Your Highness?"
Xu Wanqing couldn't believe what she heard. Even if she wasn't the Crown Princess, she should be a concubine.
How could it be...a concubine?
Seeing her stunned there, Xiao Muhan grabbed her hand and comforted her, "Wanqing, this is an extraordinary period. I cannot let you be a concubine."
"Why?"
Xu Wanqing asked back without even thinking.
Xiao Muchan was a little unhappy. "You don't understand the affairs of the court. The Lin family has been suppressing me. As long as Lin Yue'e is here, I can't establish a concubine."
It’s Lin Yue’e again.
Xu Wanqing was furious.
"Once the Crown Princess's matter is settled, I will definitely compensate you well."
"Can......"
"Don't say but, I have no choice. Right now, what else could be more important than national affairs? You should know who I am."
Now, even if Xu Wanqing was unhappy, she had to endure it.
However, fortunately, her trip was not in vain. She finally had a status. From now on, she would be the master.
"Well, then, thank you, Your Highness, for your grace."
Xiao Muhan's expression brightened slightly, "That's right now. Don't worry, I will never treat you unfairly in the future. You are a great contributor. No woman in the world is as important to me as you."
These words made Xu Wanqing overjoyed. Wasn't this the prince hinting to her that she would be the queen in the future?
Thinking of this, Xu Wanqing's face flushed and she couldn't help but kiss the prince on the face.
Xiao Muhan felt disgusted in his heart, but he smiled gently on his face.
"Then, my sister's..."
"As you wish."
Xu Wanqing was even happier. This time, everyone in the Xu family bowed to her when they saw her.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will send some makeup to my sister when the time comes."
"good."
Looking at Xu Wanqing's back as she happily left, Xiao Muchan's eyes showed a dangerous look.
Feiyun Garden
"Princess, the day is coming, and I have to go back first."
Xu Wanyan looked at Nanny Wei and felt a little reluctant to leave. However, they would meet again in two days, so she was not that sad.
"Okay, see you on the eighth day."
Nanny Wei was a little surprised. "Okay, I will be waiting for the princess in the palace."
As soon as Nanny Wei left, Xu Wanyu hurried over.
Holding Xu Wanyan's hand, he burst into tears, "Sister, I, I was killed by my mother."
Xu Wanyan looked surprised. "How could that be? My aunt looks quite gentle."
Xu Wanyu cried and shook her head, "She was just pretending. She's so cruel. Look at my hands, they're all swollen from being beaten with a cane. Sob."
Xu Wanyan looked at her hands covered in blood and red. Indeed, her aunt had been quite ruthless.
"Cousin, you don't know that this is how young ladies from wealthy families learn etiquette. Otherwise, when you arrive in the palace, you might even pay with your life."
Hearing this, Xu Wanyu shrank her neck in fear.
"The palace has strict rules and regulations. Auntie is doing this for your own good. You will thank her when you go to the palace."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. Look, I just married the prince, and I was arranged for a nanny to come and teach me personally. What's more, what are your future goals? Don't you think so?"
Hearing this, Xu Wanyu's complexion improved a lot and she swallowed back her tears.
"Sister, you are right. Only in this way can I survive in the East Palace."
"Yeah. By the way, did Grandfather say when he would send you there?"
Xu Wanyu nodded and said, "Go early in the morning on the day of your wedding."
"Then you must work hard. I'm waiting for your good news at Prince Chen's Mansion."
Xu Wanyu smiled and said, "Okay, we all have to work hard."
Xu Wanyan nodded.
As the wedding was approaching, Xu Wanyan became busy.
Trying on clothes, makeup, and taking inventory of dowry...
"Wanyan, these are the dowry Aunt Huang gave you, please keep them well."
Huang Yueping and Xu Yifan came to Feiyun Garden with several large boxes of things, which made everyone in Feiyun Garden stare in amazement.
"Aunt Huang, I can't accept it. I know these are your things."
Given Xu Maocai's personality, it would be good enough if he didn't think about her, but how could he be willing to give her such a large dowry?
