Are there suitable candidates among the secret guards?
Mi Hang asked casually, though he didn't know why he didn't want to say it directly, even though he clearly wanted Ying Qi to take on the mission.
"Your Highness, there are few women among the secret guards."
Shadow Three spoke carefully. He knew that Xiao Qi was the perfect candidate for this mission, but he didn't want Xiao Qi to go because appearing in front of everyone would not be a good thing for the hidden guards.
Moreover, this is no ordinary task; it's about becoming the Crown Prince's concubine. If Xiao Qi and the Crown Prince have anything going on, her life will be over.
"Rare? Then it exists."
Mi Hang said in a somewhat unpleasant tone, "Ying Qi is clearly a good fit. What does he mean by saying that?"
"Yes, Shadow Seven is a woman among the secret guards, but she is a bit young and I'm afraid she won't be able to complete the mission well."
Shadow 3 still wanted to put up a fight.
"Since she is the leader of the secret guards, her abilities must be extraordinary. Let's choose her."
Mi Hang made the final decision, then waved for Ying San to leave; he couldn't stand looking at him.
Han Lingxi was not surprised to receive the news, but Ying San was extremely anxious. Moreover, Han Lingxi noticed that Ying Liu's gaze towards her revealed a different feeling. In order to prevent Ying Liu from impulsively eloping with her, Han Lingxi began to avoid Ying Liu as much as possible.
In the days that followed, Han Lingxi began to learn what a woman from a respectable background should know: etiquette and manners had to be dignified, and she had to be familiar with poetry, calligraphy, and painting. Fortunately, Han Lingxi had the original owner's memories, so she could handle these things with ease, and learning them again was just like reviewing.
Mi Hang would sometimes sneak away from the guards to take a look at Ying Liu, who was in contact with etiquette. Even he himself felt that something was wrong with him. He could only comfort himself by saying that his concubine was very important and he was worried, so he came to check on her.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye. A month ago, Han Lingxi was sent to Qinghe to prepare for her wedding. Cui Yiran's identity was that of a collateral branch of the Cui family, and the whole family lived in Lingnan, so he had no relation to the direct line.
If Cui hadn't suddenly received the imperial decree bestowing marriage upon her, she probably wouldn't have even remembered that Cui Yiran existed.
Cui Yiran's parents had both passed away, and she was just an orphan living with her aunt. It was only after receiving the imperial decree that Cui's family brought her back to Qinghe to prepare for her wedding.
Han Lingxi was placed in a secluded courtyard where she was taught royal etiquette by an aunt sent from the palace. Therefore, Han Lingxi kept a low profile after arriving at the Cui family.
One reason she didn't have time to learn etiquette was that she didn't want to have much contact with the Cui family. After all, just thinking about Cui Shuying and Han Lingxi made her feel nauseous. She didn't have the habit of sharing her husband with others. In this life, Cui Shuying's desire to enter the Crown Prince's residence was simply a pipe dream.
In order to avoid rumors about her relationship with Cui Shuying, which would force her to associate with Cui Shuying in the future, it's better to avoid contact with her now.
"I can't even see her. How precious must this woman from a collateral branch be?"
Cui Shuying angrily smashed the food box in her courtyard. She had originally planned to visit Cui Yiran with some snacks, but she was stopped outside by the palace staff, which infuriated her.
“Young Miss, please calm down. You can’t let your anger out in the courtyard. After all, she is the future Crown Prince’s concubine. If word gets out, you will inevitably suffer.”
Cui Shuying's nanny quickly tried to dissuade her.
