Yu Yun did not give Yun Yiyi a proper identity, nor did she say how to treat her; the concubines in the backyard could only imagine it themselves.
Yu Yun had two concubines, Yan Wan and Jing Shu, both of whom were senior palace maids bestowed upon him by the Empress. They had accompanied him for many years, so their status was naturally not that of ordinary concubines.
Yun Yiyi felt that since she was new here, she had to stand up for herself, otherwise she would be bullied.
So she embellished her story about her harmonious relationship with Yu Yunqin.
The two concubines were furious, but they smiled on the surface, secretly plotting against Yun Yiyi and making her life difficult.
Yu Yun was so busy that a month passed, and he had completely forgotten about Yun Yiyi. It wasn't until his two concubines came to him to apologize that he learned that Yun Yiyi had died.
"What? Yun Yiyi is dead?"
Yu Yun was very surprised. She hadn't even done anything to her yet, so how could she have died?
Jing Shu wiped away her tears, "Prince, it's probably because my sister misses her hometown that she fell ill."
Yan Wan chimed in, "Yes, yes, it could be due to the change in environment."
"We called a doctor for her and prescribed medicine."
"But my sister's health is too poor. She drank two doses of medicine, but she still didn't recover."
"In the end, she passed away."
"We failed in our protection; please punish us, Your Highness."
As Yu Yun watched his two concubines explain the situation in a coordinated manner, he felt a tightness in his chest, making him extremely uncomfortable.
I originally planned to deal with her properly when I had some free time, but who knew she would die so soon.
He felt a little lost, but looking at the innocent faces of his two concubines, he couldn't bring himself to lose his temper.
"So be it, if he's dead, he's dead."
The two concubines were very happy; the prince liked them the most.
They sat on either side of Yu Yun, massaging her legs and shoulders, pouring her wine and serving her food. Yu Yun quickly put Yun Yiyi aside and began to enjoy a rare moment of relaxation.
Xiao Li runs out of the palace to play every day. Dongxia Kingdom is very wealthy, and its land is more suitable for growing plants than Xiling Kingdom, so Dongxia Kingdom is very powerful.
The reason Yu Yun was sent to Xiling two years ago was because Dongxia had just experienced a rare drought.
Therefore, the Dongxia people stabilized the situation by feigning weakness, and turned the tide in just two years.
Xiao Li set her sights on this fertile land; she was determined to make a big splash here.
Soon a man entered the palace to see the princess. Lanxiang led him into the study. He was Meng Tian, the son of the great general.
General Meng Yi was a legend; the Fifth Prince's maternal uncle's family all died at his hands. However, two years ago, when Meng Yi returned to the capital to claim his merits, he was framed and executed for treason.
His family, however, were spared by the emperor, who only stripped them of their military power.
Meng Tian was filled with resentment. He knew that the royal family was behind it, but he could only pretend to be ignorant in order to protect the safety of dozens of members of his Meng family.
As soon as Xiao Li came out, she saw a young man in his early twenties sitting upright, seemingly lost in thought.
His eyes were lowered, making them difficult to see. Like most people from Dongxia, he had a high nose, thick eyebrows, and large eyes.
He stood up when he saw Xiaoli come out.
"Meng Tian greets the princess."
Xiao Li raised her hand and said, "No need for formalities, please sit down."
Meng Tian then sat down again. He felt Xiao Li's gaze, but he didn't dare to look at her for long.
"I wonder what brings General Meng here?"
Although Meng Tian was not as good as his father, he had followed his father in the army camp for many years.
Although he lost his military power, the emperor showed him favor and retained his position as general.
He's just a figurehead general now, without any real power.
Meng Tian pondered for a moment, "The princess's current position is awkward. What are your plans?"
Xiao Li smiled and said, "Since we're here, let's make the best of it and take things as they come."
Meng Tian sensed the casualness in Xiao Li's words and couldn't help but look up at her. He blushed as soon as he saw her.
The princess was very beautiful, but she was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
He was a little disappointed. He had thought that the Princess Protector of Xiling would be an older princess, but he didn't expect her to be a little girl even younger than him.
He hesitated whether to reveal his purpose, while Xiao Li picked up her teacup and took a sip.
"Is General Meng looking for someone to cooperate with?"
Meng Tian was taken aback, and then he made a decision in his heart.
