Chapter 21 The Princess Is Too Arrogant 8
Lian'er heard everything the two were saying. She curled her lips and thought to herself that the emperor was indeed very fickle. Fortunately, what she asked for was never love.
She knew that now that she had suddenly reached this position, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among others, and the favored imperial concubine outside would become her enemy.
She could only seize the opportunity to climb up the social ladder while the emperor still liked her, and it would be best if she could get pregnant with a royal heir.
After Cui Mingyu left, Lian'er came out from the inner room. After looking at Cui Mingyu's back with envy, she looked at the emperor with sparkling admiring eyes, without mentioning what had just happened.
The emperor noticed Lian'er's gaze and extended his hand, saying, "Come to my side."
Lian'er walked forward obediently, and her face blushed when the emperor held her in his arms.
The emperor laughed and said, "Lian'er, are you jealous?"
"No...no, I am very satisfied to be able to accompany the emperor."
"It's not good to be so easily satisfied. You are my woman. You can tell me whatever you want and I will satisfy you. Lian'er, you are different to me."
The imperial study was filled with warmth and affection, but when Cui Mingyu returned to the bedroom, he had dropped a lot of things.
Then she called the head maid and gave her a few instructions, and her anger almost subsided.
At Prince Jing's Mansion, Yun Jing looked at Qiu Chi, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Qiu Chi glanced at him and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have to fart, fart quickly."
Yun Jing pursed his lips tightly and said, "Girls should speak more elegantly."
"Did you take the wrong medicine?"
And she is elegant. Is she an elegant person?
The reason she didn't beat him up was because she had a good temper.
Yun Jing was silent for a moment and said, "Today's return home was not pleasant. The king will accompany you back tomorrow."
Qiu Chi understood now.
"You want to use me as an excuse to visit your ex-lover? How can you be so capable? I'm not interested in accompanying you."
"I've already accompanied you today, so why don't you accompany me tomorrow? Don't worry, I won't let them bully you."
Qiu Chi was speechless: "Do you think I look like someone who would be bullied? Are you sure you're not joking?"
Yun Jing: “…” He really doesn’t look like someone who would be bullied.
But he couldn't really admit it, as that would make him seem too guilty.
"After all, you are Cui Yueyue in the eyes of others, and the Prime Minister is your father. If you disrespect them, they will definitely condemn you, so you should control your temper. When the time comes, I will stand up for you..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Qiu Chi interrupted him impatiently: "Do I look like someone who cares what other people think?"
"Then tell me, what must I do for you to go with me?"
Seeing that Yun Jing was determined to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qiu Chi thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible for me to accompany you. Bring Xin'er with you tomorrow. Remember to treat her well and take care of her the whole time. I won't stop you from seeing Cui Mingyu, but you have to be a little cooler to her and show the difference. If you agree, then I'll agree to go with you."
Yun Jing's face darkened instantly. "What kind of request are you making? Bringing Xin'er along would only slap you in the face. Mingyu is now a noble concubine. Even if she sees that I treat Xin'er well, what can she do?"
Qiu Chi didn't care: "Just tell me whether you agree or not. I'm not afraid of getting slapped in the face, so why are you arguing on my behalf?"
Even though Yun Jing was very reluctant, he still agreed with a serious face.
The next morning, when Xin'er was called, she saw Qiuchi was still shaking.
Qiu Chi said, "Why are you shaking? I don't hit women. Come with us to the Prime Minister's Mansion today. Remember to be intimate with Yun Jing and use the methods you used to isolate people."
Xin'er: "..." You may not really hit women, but you may kill people.
Xin'er trembled even more violently when she heard Qiu Chi's words. She secretly glanced at Yun Jing, who had a sullen face.
Yun Jing: "Just do as she says."
Both of them agreed, so Xin'er naturally didn't dare to refuse.
Even though she was extremely curious about this, she didn't dare to ask the reason.
At the Prime Minister's Mansion, this time there was someone coming to greet us at the door.
But when they saw Xin'er coming down with them, the smiles of the Prime Minister and his wife froze.
"What does this mean, my Lord?"
Yun Jing glanced at the Prime Minister coldly and said, "What's the point? You all know whose honor it is that I'm here today. So what if I bring a concubine? If the Prime Minister is not satisfied, I can go back now."
Liking Cui Mingyu is one thing, but disliking Prime Minister Cui is another.
Even though he knew in his heart that he would not go back, he could still make some harsh remarks.
The Prime Minister looked at Qiu Chi, who was standing aside as if nothing had happened. Qiu Chi continued to spread his hands and said, "Why are you looking at me? I didn't ask him to take care of you. How can I control him, a prince?"
Yun Jing and Xin'er: "..." It was really you who asked you to bring him.
But at this moment, both of them were silent.
Even if the Prime Minister was very angry, he could only let Yun Jing be so shameless. After all, he had done even more shameless things, such as throwing his wife aside and marrying a concubine. Now, what was impossible for him to bring the concubine to the wife's house?
The Prime Minister gritted his teeth and welcomed Yun Jing in. He felt more and more that Cui Mingyu's decision to enter the palace was the right one.
Even if Yun Jing was once a brilliant and talented man, and even almost ascended the throne, that was only in the past. He is no longer the same person now.
Not long after they entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cui Mingyu also arrived.
Cui Mingyu's show was only slightly bigger than Yun Jing's, and it was extremely grand.
But when he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and saw Xin'er sitting next to Yun Jing, his smile couldn't help but become a little stiff.
Yun Jing still remembered Qiu Chi's words. He pursed his thin lips into a straight line, nodded coldly to Cui Mingyu, and then stopped talking.
Qiu Chi drank tea beside him without saying a word.
In the end, it was Cui Mingyu who spoke first: "Why did the prince... bring someone else with him?"
Yun Jing was silent for a moment, then said with difficulty, "If the king wants to bring it, then naturally I will bring it."
Xin'er beside her said softly, "Your Highness, please don't blame the prince. It was Xin'er who was ignorant and wanted to follow the prince."
Cui Mingyu disdained to talk to Xin'er. She looked at Qiu Chi, who was leisurely drinking tea, and said, "Sister, why don't you try to stop him and just watch the prince act like that?"
Qiu Chi used the same rhetoric: "Are you sure I can control him, a prince? If I could, would he have left me aside to marry someone else?"
Xin'er at the side couldn't help but tremble again, but at this moment their attention was not on Xin'er.
Qiu Chi continued, "Oh, I forgot. You were blaming me when we were in the palace. You were quite capable. You could blame me for all the bad things. Now you still want to blame me?"
Yun Jing said with a sullen face, "It was I who wanted to take Xin'er with me. Are you guys doing this to show your dissatisfaction with me?"
Qiu Chi added leisurely, "Isn't this obvious?"
Yun Jing: “…” No one will think you are dumb if you don’t speak.
