Shangguan Yu pointed to a chair beside him and motioned Yuan Xuemei to sit down.
Yuan Xuemei sat down respectfully and adjusted her makeup.
Shangguan Yu waited until she had tidied herself up before speaking.
"I have been here for a while, so I know exactly what happened between you."
Yuan Xuemei was a little embarrassed, and Shangguan Yu smiled faintly.
"Don't worry, Miss Yuan. The reason I didn't come out to stop it is because Miss Yuan said something that was very true."
"I said I was attracted to her at the Lantern Festival, but as you said, without the three letters and six engagements, and without the royal marriage sanction from my father, there are some things I cannot say casually."
"Besides, my father originally intended for me to marry Miss Yuan, but he never mentioned the position of principal consort. Therefore, Miss Yuan must understand my intention."
Although Yuan Xuemei is spoiled, she is not stupid. After listening to Shangguan Yu's words, she nodded with a smile.
"Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Yu. Xuemei understands your intentions."
"It was indeed Xuemei who was rude today. Xuemei will definitely be more careful in the future and will never cause trouble for His Majesty."
Shangguan Yu waved his hand, and Yuan Xuemei looked at her somewhat messy clothes.
"Your Highness, Xuemei is not feeling well today, so I won't bother you any more."
"If Your Highness is free, you may come to the mansion for a chat someday. Xuemei will definitely ask my father to treat you well."
Shangguan Yu was very satisfied with Yuan Xuemei's performance. After sending her away personally, he looked at the housekeeper beside him.
When the housekeeper saw him come out, he whispered a few words in his ear. Shangguan Yu nodded and walked towards the backyard.
Ye Xiaoxiao felt a little disdainful when she saw Shangguan Yu leaving.
Although she was far away, she could roughly know what Shangguan Yu had said to Yuan Xuemei just by looking at the shape of his lips.
Shangguan Lingyun saw that Shangguan Yu had left and quietly came to Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Do you want to see how he deals with Ye Xinxin?"
Ye Xiaoxiao curled her lips, and Shangguan Lingyun took her back to the previous room to change clothes.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Shangguan Lingyun strangely.
"Didn't Ye Xinxin leave angrily? Will Shangguan Yu go looking for her?"
Shangguan Lingyun shook his head and pointed to the wing room in the backyard, and Ye Xiaoxiao immediately understood.
Shangguan Lingyun pulled Ye Xiaoxiao all the way to avoid the servants in the backyard, and then hid in a side room.
Just as Ye Xiaoxiao was about to ask, she heard the voices of Ye Xinxin and Shangguan Yu talking from the next room.
"Xinxin, do you know why I didn't help you today?"
Ye Xiaoxiao felt disdainful when she heard this. She wanted to see what this hypocrite would say to Ye Xinxin.
As Shangguan Yu finished speaking, Ye Xinxin's somewhat aggrieved voice sounded next door.
"It's Xinxin today, right? You shouldn't rush here on the day when the prince and Miss Yuan are supposed to meet."
Seeing that Ye Xinxin was feeling aggrieved, Shangguan Yu hugged her in his arms and then sighed.
"Xinxin, why don't you understand my intentions?"
"Did you know that my father intends for me to marry Yuan Xuemei as my principal wife?"
When Ye Xinxin heard this, her heart skipped a beat and tears started to flow down her face.
"Your Highness, you clearly said..."
Ye Xinxin's voice was a little choked, and Shangguan Yu had no choice but to lift her cheeks.
"Xinxin, don't be anxious. Let me explain it to you slowly and in detail."
"You also know that although you are still the eldest daughter of the Ye family, everyone knows your true identity."
"So, when the emperor learned that I was interested in you, although he agreed to let me marry you, you could only be a concubine."
"These past few days, I have been fighting with my father to make you my principal wife."
"So right now, no matter what, you can't let the news of your quarrel with Yuan Xuemei get out. Otherwise, the emperor will only be even more dissatisfied with you."
"But Yuan Xuemei is different. She is the principal wife chosen by our father. If you hit her, you are hitting our father in the face."
"But now, she has the upper hand in the fight with you, so the emperor will naturally not hold you responsible."
"On the contrary, she seems to have the upper hand today. However, if the emperor knew that she was already so jealous before she even got married, do you think he would still let her become the main wife?"
"Xinxin, I care about you so much, how could I possibly watch her bully you?"
"Everything I do is for you. Do you understand my intentions?"
When Ye Xinxin heard this, she was immediately moved and snuggled in Shangguan Yu's arms, secretly happy.
However, if she looked up, she would see the smugness in Shangguan Yu's eyes.
It's a pity that she only cared about her own love and didn't care.
In the next room, Shangguan Lingyun was afraid that Ye Xiaoxiao was too tired from standing, so he pulled her to sit down and listen to the opera.
Ye Xiaoxiao was busy listening to the conversation between the two people opposite her and didn't notice that Shangguan Lingyun was holding her hand and didn't let go.
When she heard what Shangguan Yu said to Ye Xinxin, she couldn't help but complain in her heart.
[Shangguan Yu is indeed shameless, but I have to say that he does have some brains to be the male protagonist in the book.]
[However, how did such a stupid Ye Xinxin become the heroine of the original book?]
[Could it be that Shangguan Yu likes her because she's stupid and obedient?]
Ye Xiaoxiao now seriously suspects that the author of the book at that time added an eight hundred times beauty filter to Ye Xinxin.
At the same time, he was also troubled by the cannon fodder of the Ye family.
[Even someone as stupid as Ye Xinxin could actually fool the entire Ye family. It's easy to imagine that everyone in the Ye family isn't much smarter.]
