"Why did she go straight to the Emperor and ask him to cancel the engagement when you threatened her with your sister's secret to give me the position of principal wife?
My elder sister likes cleanliness and doesn't want to share a husband with other sisters!"
Ying Zhu'er was so angry that she spoke without thinking, scolding the Fifth Prince and herself.
The veins on the Fifth Prince's forehead bulged. He stood up, took three or two steps forward, and grabbed Ying Zhu'er's collar.
"Shut up! You were the one who shamelessly seduced me in the first place!
Don't call Ying Xixi "sister" all the time. You are not worthy of being her sister!
A concubine's daughter is a concubine's daughter, not worthy of being in public at all!
Ying Xixi is better than you in every way!
Don't think you can secure your position as a concubine. If I'm not happy with you, I can kick you out immediately!"
The murderous intent and hatred in the eyes of the Fifth Prince were not concealed at all. Ying Zhuer really didn't expect that this was the man she wanted to marry even if she pretended to be crazy!
How on earth is she inferior to that bitch Ying Xixi? !
So what if she is a concubine's daughter?
She can give birth to a baby!
She can give birth to a son!
Ying Xixi can't do that!
Ying Xixi can't compare to her at all!
"Your Highness, it was the Emperor who ordered me to become your concubine!"
"So what?" The Fifth Prince sneered and tightened his grip. "My father has no time to meddle in his son's affairs."
After saying this, the Fifth Prince loosened Ying Zhu'er's collar and said, "Remember what I said, don't just wander around me when you have nothing to do! Someone, send the concubine back."
The servant agreed, and soon two maids came in, each holding one side of Ying Zhuer and taking her away.
There had just been a quarrel here, and the system told Ying Xixi about it in a gossipy way.
Ying Xixi: “….”
"I didn't expect you to be such a nosy system. If there's nothing important about their quarrel, then you don't have to tell me."
[There's a point, host. The Fifth Prince still misses you.]
Ying Xixi sneered, "It's just the bad nature of men. Men won't cherish what they get easily.
Only when the person he once despised is no longer obsessed with him, will a man realize the good in the other person and start to return to the other person.
System: [.......Men are so complicated. From this system’s perspective, the Fifth Prince has murderous intentions towards Zhu’er.
It was obvious that Ying Zhuer was pregnant with his child, and they had a big fight today.
I'm afraid Ying Zhu'er will hate you.]
"Hate me all you want, but Ying Zhu'er is pregnant now and is under house arrest in the mansion by the Fifth Prince. She can't do anything to me for the time being.
Moreover, my original plan was to lock her and the fifth prince together. Every evildoer will be punished by his own evildoer, and I was just waiting for them to torture each other.
When the torture is almost over, I will give it another kick, which will be considered revenge for the original owner."
She felt like getting her hands dirty dealing with this pair of dogs!
[Not bad, not bad, very much like the host's style! This system is relieved.]
The system mumbled a few words and then went offline.
Ying Xixi smiled, knowing that the system cared about her.
It's not easy either. After going through so many dimensions with the system, the system seems to have become a little more humane.
.......
The emperor held a palace banquet to entertain envoys from neighboring countries, and only well-known and important officials were qualified to attend.
As the former prime minister who was dismissed from office and was reflecting on his actions, Ying Sili was not qualified to participate.
I don’t know what the emperor was thinking, but he actually sent someone to tell Ying Sili to attend the palace banquet as well.
However, the emperor not only allowed Ying Sili but also Ying Xixi to attend the palace banquet.
So Ying Xixi dressed up and followed Ying Sili into the palace to attend the banquet.
Ying Sili has always looked down on Ying Xixi, the legitimate daughter. Now that Ying Xixi and the fifth prince are no longer engaged, he looks down on her even more.
Along the way, he kept lecturing Ying Xixi, telling her to be dignified and graceful after entering the palace.
Ying Xixi listened to it with one ear and out the other, but after listening to it all the way, she was also very annoyed.
"Father, can you shut up? Do you know how bad your voice is right now?"
Ying Xixi spoke coldly, which made Ying Sili stunned for a moment, and then he widened his eyes.
"Ying Xixi, I'm your father! How dare you speak to me like that!"
"So what? You don't have any fatherly virtues at all, and you still want me to respect you? You're dreaming!
I tell you, I won't listen to you like before, and don't think you are still the prime minister!
Maybe you will even kneel down and salute me when you see me in the future!"
Ying Xixi sat upright, and the words she spoke in a cold voice made Ying Sili breathless.
He really wanted to teach Ying Xixi a lesson, but seeing that the carriage had already arrived at the palace gate and they were about to get off and enter the palace, he could only swallow his anger.
"Just wait for me! I will punish you according to the family rules when I get back!"
Ying Xixi sneered and got off the carriage holding her skirt.
Ying Sili's back teeth were almost broken.
This rebellious girl!
The seats at the palace banquet were separate for men and women, but there were not many female relatives attending the banquet.
So Ying Xixi happened to sit on the "dividing line" between men and women, and the person sitting next to her happened to be King Zhao.
A few days ago, Ying Xixi only saw King Zhao's face. Now that she saw King Zhao's whole body, she couldn't help but sigh. King Zhao's figure was indeed very burly, which matched his bearded face very well!
"Have I ever seen the girl before?"
King Zhao spoke first to Ying Xixi.
Ying Xixi felt that her appearance as a woman should be different from that as a servant, so King Zhao would not be able to recognize that the servant he saw on the street that day was her.
The reason why King Zhao said this might be because he really saw the shadow of Zhao in her face.
"Your Highness, this is my first time attending a palace banquet to welcome envoys. Your Highness probably has never seen me before.
Perhaps this servant bears some resemblance to someone Your Majesty knows."
Ying Xixi answered softly.
Prince Zhao was lost in thought. "Yes, there are people in the world who look alike. I wonder who your mother is?"
"My father is Ying Sili. He used to be the Prime Minister, but was later dismissed from office by the Emperor for favoring his concubine over his wife. He's the man sitting over there with a big belly and a sour face."
King Zhao followed Ying Xixi's gaze and saw Ying Sili opposite him, and his pupils trembled.
"I am the legitimate daughter of the Ying family. My mother has been bedridden for many years and has been neglected by my father.
I wonder if Your Highness knows my mother. Her surname is Zhao."
Ying Xixi said tentatively.
Prince Zhao's heart tightened. "Maybe he's someone he doesn't recognize. Your mother is bedridden, and there's no Doctor Zhao to see her?"
"I've seen her before and prescribed medicine, but my mother didn't dare to drink it. Although Aunt Lin is a concubine, she is favored by my father in the mansion and has a status comparable to that of the mistress..."
