"You look like a beauty suitable for men to play with. No wonder Wang's family can't tolerate you!"
Even Princess Liu Mengyao was stunned by Liu Ruyue's beauty when she saw her.
However, she, who had always been arrogant and never took distant relatives like Liu Ruyue seriously, played with her fingernails nonchalantly and snorted arrogantly.
Even though Liu Ruyue was so beautiful that she was jealous, she did not regard her as a threat at all, as if she could easily kill her with just a raise of her hand.
Liu Ruyue naturally felt Liu Mengyao's contempt for herself. She suppressed the hatred that belonged to her original self in her heart, walked forward gently, and saluted Liu Mengyao according to the etiquette she remembered.
Seeing that she was mocking him but he was still being respectful, Liu Mengyao couldn't help but snort coldly: "As expected of a lowly thing that crawled out of my aunt's belly, you are such a lowly thing!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hatred in Liu Ruyue's heart surged even more.
Her nails dug deep into her palms, but she had a faint smile on her face, looking like an obedient person listening to Liu Mengyao's scolding.
Seeing a delicate beauty smiling in front of her, Liu Mengyao wanted to go up and scratch her face, but due to her status as a princess, she could only hold back. After a quick glance at the beautiful women around her, she said quietly, "Beautiful Yue is quite capable. The prince even took the initiative to ask for a promotion for you. Unlike the other sisters..."
She hadn't finished her words, but the looks that the girls present gave Liu Ruyue were all strange.
Liu Ruyue knew very well that Liu Mengyao was trying to make her hate her.
After all, Prince Zhao Tinghao of Yan gradually forgot about these beauties in the palace after sleeping with them, and never asked for a status for any of them. This was the first time that Liu Ruyue had been recognized as a beauty, so how could she not arouse envy?
However, even though Liu Ruyue knew Liu Mengyao's plan, she could only endure it temporarily. Now she was alone in Prince Yan's mansion, and even the maids and servants who served her were Liu Mengyao's people. She could only be cautious in her dealings...
After being bullied by Liu Mengyao and her bunch of girls for quite some time, Liu Ruyue was finally able to return to her own courtyard.
"Beauty Yue, this is the nourishing soup that the princess specially prepared for you. You are weak, so drinking more of it will help you bear children for the prince!"
Liu Ruyue was tormented badly by Zhao Tinghao last night. After returning from Liu Mengyao, she took a nap. As soon as she got up, she saw the maid Taohong walking in with a bowl of medicine.
Without saying a word, she took the bowl of soup from Taohong's hand and brought it to her mouth. With just one sniff, she could smell something wrong.
"Why!"
With a cry of surprise, Liu Ruyue pretended to be burned, and said to Taohong with red eyes: "Taohong, can you help me call the prince?"
The woman with delicate features stared at her with red eyes. Taohong admitted that for a moment, her heart trembled.
However, the next moment he remembered that he was the princess's man, and cursed in his heart: Vixen!
He said to Liu Ruyue in a cold voice, "Beautiful Lady Yue, the prince is very busy with official duties all day, and it happens to be dinner time later, so he won't be able to take care of you. You should eat by yourself."
Another maidservant, Liu Lu, couldn't help but sneer at Liu Ruyue: "Beautiful Yue, considering you are a distant relative of the princess, the palace still gives you some dignity. If you make the princess unhappy, your good days will probably be over."
"The old princess doesn't care about anything. In this mansion, the princess has the final say. Beauty Yue, please don't do anything stupid and ruin the relationship between you and the princess by dreaming of things that don't belong to you!"
…
Listening to the two maids' words, Liu Ruyue understood in her heart: these two people are indeed Liu Mengyao's lackeys, and they are kept around her just to warn her.
Fortunately, I didn't directly say that there was something wrong with the tonic soup, but pretended to be scalded, making the two of them think that I was trying to win their favor.
Otherwise, if I had directly pointed out that there was something wrong with the tonic soup, I would probably have died in this yard tonight.
At that time, even if Zhao Tinghao asked, Liu Mengyao would at most say: I am unlucky and cannot bear the prince's favor.
“Pah!!”
Just when Taohongliulv was criticizing Liu Ruyue in a sarcastic tone, two crisp and loud slaps were heard.
"You, you hit me?"
"How dare you hit me?"
…
Taohong and Liulv each covered their cheeks and stared at Liu Ruyue in disbelief as they asked.
Looking at the expression, it seems that he is not only in disbelief, but even wants to fight back.
Before the two men could strike her, Liu Ruyue said, "I am the prince's woman after all. If you dare to move, I will destroy you!"
"hehe!"
Hearing Liu Ruyue's words, Tao Hong and Liu Lu quickly withdrew their hands, but they still looked disdainful. "The prince's woman? The prince has slept with dozens of women. Do you think anyone can be remembered by the prince as a princess? The prince slept with you last night, so what? In half a month, the prince won't even remember who you are, Liu Ruyue."
Liu Ruyue knew that what they said was right. After all, this was the fate of her previous life.
However, if she wanted to survive in Prince Yan's Mansion, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
With a mocking smile on her face, Liu Ruyue looked at Tao Hong and Liu Lu and said, "Which concubine did the prince sleep with before and then asked the princess to give her a title?"
After Liu Ruyue's reminder, Tao Hongliu Lu realized that the woman in front of them seemed to be a little different from other women.
Seeing the two people's stunned expressions, Liu Ruyue continued, "The prince doesn't treat me as well as the princess, but he treats me differently from other women. You are now only concerned with being loyal to your masters, and you never imagined that I am your master now. The next time the prince comes, I will make a complaint and ask him to sell you out..."
Liu Ruyue's words frightened Tao Hongliu Lu so much that her face turned pale. She thought that if this woman really complained about it, she would definitely not have a good ending, and she suddenly became afraid.
After all, they all knew in their hearts that if Liu Ruyue really complained, the princess would definitely not protect them.
After all, if they were really favored by the princess, would they be arranged to serve concubines who would obviously wither away alone in the backyard?
"Alright, I was just trying to scare you. Go and help me invite the prince over. I promise I won't report you..."
Seeing the two people's frightened expressions, Liu Ruyue slapped them, gave them a candy, and started to coax them again.
After doing this, Liu Lu immediately went to the study in the front yard and claimed that Yue Meiren was scalded and asked the prince to help.
This scene fell into the eyes of the people in the courtyard, and it was considered that Liu Ruyue had deliberately burned them to win favor. Everyone secretly cursed Liu Ruyue in their hearts for being a vixen...
