Seeing that Xiao Zhuo had left, Luo Jiu, who was inside the new house, quickly called Jin Xia in and blocked the door.
"Miss, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Jinxia asked with some concern, "Is it really okay to block your husband outside the door on your wedding night?"
"call……"
Luo Jiu took a breath and complained about her physical weakness, saying, "It would be best if he could never get in."
You're not the male lead, do you think I'm someone you can just easily flirt with? Even if you're good-looking, it won't work, because I'm blind.
Luo Jiu began to suspect the system's ulterior motives. Could it be that it knew her true nature and deliberately set this body to be blind?
If that's the case... then you're really too far-sighted (and cunning).
It was late at night, the red candlelight flickered by the bedside, and Jinxia beside her had slowly fallen asleep. The room was quiet, without a trace of anyone entering.
Luo Jiu lay in bed, tossing and turning. The calming incense burning in the room, however, inexplicably made her even more awake.
Liang Ye is behaving strangely today. Luo Jiu's sense of smell in this world is more acute than ever before.
He carried a faint, mellow scent of wine, unlike the ambergris he usually wore.
And that's not all the strange things are about. Why, why would he...?
Luo Jiu felt a burning sensation on her face when she thought of the scene where he licked her earlobe.
This guy is supposed to be a member of the royal family, how come he acts like a thug...?
Luo Jiu suppressed the agitation in her heart. Why didn't she want to pull away or feel disgust when he kissed her...?
Could it be... could it be that I'm actually a womanizer? I'm no longer innocent...
Luo Jiu covered her face and took several deep breaths, finally regaining her senses, which she had somehow lost in the land of Wahaha.
Liang Ye's series of unusual actions made it seem as if he had been switched out, and the person he was supposed to marry was probably a fake.
Then who is this fake one?
Luo Jiu made a bold assumption, a smile playing on her lips, a bellyful of mischievous ideas swirling in her mind.
I don't know if it's him, but I'll give it a try...
Thinking of this, Luo Jiu seemed to have resolved some major issue, and a wave of drowsiness washed over her, causing her to fall into a deep sleep.
...
The next morning, Luo Jiu awoke to the light of dawn. The bed in this palace was quite comfortable; soft and large enough that she didn't have to worry about being a restless sleeper. Thinking about it, Liang Ye wasn't entirely useless after all.
However, this pleasant mood was interrupted by Jinxia before it lasted even two seconds.
"Miss, please get up quickly, Madam Li has arrived with her entourage."
"Madam Li?" Luo Jiu was a little puzzled, having just woken up and her mind was still a bit foggy.
"She is the prince's concubine, Li Shuyue, the illegitimate daughter of Lord Li."
Luo Jiu: "..."
Okay, I take back what I said. Liang Ye really is utterly useless.
What is she doing here?
Jin Xia paused for a moment, then said softly, "It's probably because His Highness didn't come last night, so he came to provoke us..."
"Oh." Luo Jiu rolled around on the bed a couple more times. "Can I not go?"
Rather than scheming against a group of women, I'd much rather stay in bed.
Jin Xia: "..." I don't want to talk at all. It's better to just get started than to ask.
Jin Xia curled her lips, flexed her hands, and then put her hand directly into Luo Jiu's quilt.
When Luo Jiu finally arrived, a woman in a light purple gauze dress was sitting in the hall drinking tea. A maidservant, seeing that her tea was almost finished, took out a pot of tea from her own food box and refilled it.
Jin Xia raised an eyebrow. "Such a grand gesture. Bringing your own tea when you go out? If you don't like it, don't come."
Is this a provocation, or a provocation?
However, Luo Jiu, whose eyes were merely for show, went straight to the main seat, took a sip of the tea that Li Shi had rejected, and said:
"Jinxia, has Madam Li arrived? No, right? I knew it, you were just trying to trick me into getting up."
"Cough cough!"
Li, who had originally intended to put on airs, was completely ignored. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, her once beautiful face immediately darkened.
"Oh, Jinxia, you're coughing? Have you been working too hard lately? I'll give you a day off today, go home and rest."
Jin Xia: "..."
She glanced at Li Shuyue's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and knew that her young mistress was really into her performance, but she still couldn't help but interrupt her, "Miss, Madam Li has already sat down here."
"Oh, I see."
Luo Jiu's tone immediately softened, as if the visitor was some random cat or dog who didn't need to be paid any attention.
Even the most good-natured person would be enraged by this scene, let alone Li Shuyue, who came here specifically to cause trouble.
She gave a light snort, "Sister Luo, you have quite the airs."
“Now that we’ve entered this Prince’s mansion, we are all serving the Prince. I entered the mansion earlier than you, so I’ll call myself elder sister.”
“But my dear sister, if you are so lazy, even towards me, how can you possibly serve the Prince well? I heard that on your wedding night last night, the Prince didn’t even visit you.”
"Did you anger His Highness? You really need to change your temper."
As Li sipped her tea, she glanced up at Luo Jiu and saw her leaning on the table with one hand, looking drowsy. She felt angry again.
The Third Prince, Liang Ye, was a womanizer by nature. He often saw concubines entering the household, but every one of them would call him "sister" and treat him with utmost respect, like a quail.
How could this be like the person in front of me? They ignored me repeatedly, showed no respect whatsoever, and I almost fell asleep!
Feeling ignored, she slammed her teacup down on the table with a loud thud.
"Sister Luo..."
Upon hearing this address, Luo Jiu frowned deeply. Why did she find this address disgusting and greasy?
Li Shuyue ignored Luo Jiu's expression and continued:
"The princess is not feeling well and is recuperating in the bamboo forest. She has entrusted all the affairs of the mansion to me."
"Young lady, you've just married into the Prince's mansion and don't yet understand many of the rules. As someone who's been through it, I feel it's necessary to remind you that everything in this mansion serves the Prince..."
"Even with such a stunningly beautiful face, someone as lazy as my sister still can't hold onto the prince's heart."
"Just like last night, my sister said something that angered the prince. Even if my sister is as beautiful as a fairy, the prince will still leave without hesitation. After all, why would a prince like him favor a wild rose covered in thorns?"
Li Shuyue's words were a reminder to Luo Jiu that no matter how beautiful she was, she had already fallen out of favor by angering Liang Ye.
I advised her to think carefully about whether she wanted to offend her and make more enemies.
