Chapter 1: Becoming the Prince's Concubine

"I have never seen such a stupid master. He pushed the most favored Chang Liangdi into trouble, which made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince furious. I am afraid that he will have no hope of being favored in the future."

"What's the difference between Xiyun Pavilion and the Cold Palace? We slaves may never have a chance to rise to prominence, so it's most important to find a master who will dote on us as soon as possible."

Shen Chuwei lazily leaned on the couch, listening to the two servants complaining while feeding the cat with ham sausage.

Two months ago, the original owner and Chang Liangdi fell into the water together, causing her to have a high fever and never wake up again, so she became the original owner.

The original owner was the illegitimate daughter of Minister Shen, at the age of fifteen. She entered the palace together with her eldest sister Shen Mingzhu. To put it nicely, they protected each other and shared honor and disgrace.

To put it bluntly, the original owner was Shen Mingzhu's chess piece, a cannon fodder that could be abandoned at any time.

After entering the palace, she seduced the Crown Prince again and again, hoping to win his favor with her beauty and turn her situation around.

It's a pity that the original owner only had beauty but not enough intelligence. Not only did she annoy the Crown Prince, but Shen Mingzhu also discovered that she had ulterior motives.

Chang Liangdi was the Empress's most beloved niece. She was originally going to be the Crown Princess, but because Qin Tianjian observed the stars at night and said that it was not appropriate for the Crown Prince to marry a Crown Princess at this time, she was given the title of Liangdi.

Shen Mingzhu is also a Liangdi, and her biggest competitor is Chang Liangdi.

This led to the scene where the original owner pushed Chang Liangdi into the water, killing two birds with one stone.

Chang Liangdi fell seriously ill and nearly died.

Strangely enough, the original owner pushed Chang Liangdi into the water because she was a jealous woman, and she was convicted of murder.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was furious, he only moved him to the remote Xiyun Pavilion and kept him under house arrest for three months. The number of palace maids serving him was reduced from four to two, leaving only a young eunuch to do chores.

There is no other punishment besides this.

What is even more strange is that as eyewitnesses, Shen Mingzhu and Xu Liangyuan were both confined to their homes for a month and had their three-month salary deducted.

Others traveled through time and space to become noble concubines or princesses, living a life of wealth and luxury, with no worries about food and clothing.

However, she was transformed into a cannon fodder with the same name and surname.

Fortunately, there is still space to store items.

There are a lot of vegetable seeds, flower seeds, fruit tree seedlings, hot pot base and so on stored in it.

There is also a spiritual spring in the space. The spring water not only allows plants to grow quickly, but also has the effect of detoxification.

Otherwise, traveling back to ancient times would be completely boring.

Shen Chu lowered her eyes slightly and continued to tease the cat. The cat was very well behaved and was squinting its eyes to enjoy her feeding.

The azure eyes, graceful figure and soft, shiny hair made it look like a rare species, but Shen Chuwei ignored it and it became a stray cat without an owner.

Deep in the inner court of the palace, the years pass by slowly. Shen Chuwei plans to raise a cat herself and pet it to relieve her boredom.

"My lady, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here." Chunxi ran in with a smile on her face.

"I'm here, why are you so happy?" Shen Chuwei moved slowly.

"Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to see you, which means that Master still has a chance to gain favor!"

"He has so many women. Is Sheng Chong coming over? What if he's here to cause trouble?"

Xiao Jinyan, who had just walked to the door, heard these words and his eyes darkened.

Shen Chu bent slightly, and a pair of white boots came into view, embroidered with four-clawed dragon patterns and trimmed with gold thread.

It was a plain satin gown with a gold-threaded hem and embroidered dragon patterns.

Going further up, she bumped into a pair of dark and cold eyes, and she shuddered unconsciously.

The eyes are so cold~

However, Crown Prince Xiao Jinyan was extremely handsome and had an excellent figure.

His eyebrows and eyes are as delicate as a painting, his nose is high, and his eyes are introverted and cold.

At only nineteen years old, he was full of dignity and had a natural aura that made people intimidated.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked coldly at the woman who was putting on her shoes, "Is this how you plan to welcome me?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Chuwei put on her shoes and knelt down to salute, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is very busy, but you have time to come and see me. I am overjoyed. May Your Highness the Crown Prince be blessed with good health."

As the saying goes, flattery never wears out, no matter how many holes it has.

Xiao Jinyan frowned, "Have you ever seen a snow-white cat?"

A snow-white cat?

Could it be the one that comes to her place every day to beg for food?

Before Shen Chuwei could answer, she heard a cold question: "What did you do to my beloved?"

"I didn't do anything. I just fed it some melon seeds and a sausage..." Shen Chu raised his head slightly and looked at the coffee table. The cat, which was full of energy just now, was now lying on the table motionless.

She was about to explain when she saw a figure flash in front of her. Xiao Jinyan was standing in front of the coffee table. He picked up the limp cat and bent down to check the cat's physical condition.

"How dare you poison my beloved?" Xiao Jinyan looked at the audacious woman in front of him with a gloomy face.

This cat is named Xuetuan and is the pet of Sammi Hsiao.

These days, Xuetuan always likes to run outside and also shows signs of loss of appetite.

Xiao Jinyan followed all the way today and found out that Xuetuan was coming to Xiyun Pavilion.

"Your Highness, the cat is so cute and lovable, how could I bear to poison it? I love it so much! The cat may be sleepy..."

She actually said that Xuetuan is cute and lovable?

Although Xuetuan is a cat, he is very fierce and no one can get close to him except him.

"You mean, I have wronged you?"

Shen Chuwei shuddered as a false accusation was thrown down. "Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise and brave, and he is very observant. He will not let a bad guy go, and he will definitely not wrongly accuse a good person."

Xiao Jinyan snorted coldly: "Come here, lock Shen Fengyi up in Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

Shen Chuwei had been here for so long that she certainly knew what Xiaoxiang Pavilion was. It was adjacent to the Cold Palace and was rumored to be haunted, so it was so spooky that no one dared to go there even in broad daylight.

The point is, the strawberries she planted will be ripe in the next two days, and she won’t be able to eat them if she goes to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Even if you go, it won't be too late to wait until she finishes eating those pots of strawberries!

Shen Chuwei was so excited that she grabbed Xiao Jinyan's hand and found that his hand was really big... and it was nice to touch~

"Your Highness, this place is quite biased. Once Your Highness finds out the truth, if it is really my fault, it won't be too late to let me go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

Shen Chuwei was crying as she spoke.

Xiao Jinyan's voice was icy: "Let me go now."

Shen Chu blinked her big, beautiful eyes, "Your Highness, can you delay for a few days?"

Xiao Jinyan: “…”

Shen Chuwei continued to bargain: "Your Highness, how about you punish me and confine me to house arrest for another month? I still have maids and eunuchs serving in the palace, and you can reduce the number by two. Do you think it's okay?"

Xiao Jinyan paused when he heard this, glanced at the three servants kneeling on the ground, and asked in a cold voice: "Who of you is willing to stay and accompany Shen Fengyi into Xiaoxiang Pavilion?"

Shen Fengyi offended the Crown Prince and poisoned his favorite. Once he entered Xiaoxiang Pavilion, there would be no chance of recovery.

No, from the moment she pushed Chang Liangdi into the water, there was no hope of her being favored.

Only a fool would be willing to stay and marry Shen Fengyi into Xiaoxiang Pavilion, living a miserable life.

Chunxi kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, I am willing to accompany you into Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

Shen Chuwei was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. It really is true that a friend in need is a friend indeed!

Well, I will protect you from now on!
