Princess Rong decided to take her two daughters to a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.
When Prince Rong heard about this, he softened his temper and agreed to go with them.
He really likes his daughter Xia Yuning, and he also thinks what Princess Rong said makes sense.
They were just some untouchables from the countryside. Being able to see a prince like him was a blessing they could never get in three lifetimes.
They should be extremely proud that their daughter has caught the eye of Prince Rong's Mansion.
The night before leaving, an uninvited guest came to Haitang Garden.
Bai Zhirou had never seen her before, so she introduced herself.
"I am the concubine of Prince Rong, and my surname is Li." Concubine Li said with a smile.
What does her cheap father's concubine want from her?
Talk about her cheap dad's love affairs?
"This princess doesn't think there is anything interesting to talk about with you." Bai Zhirou said bluntly.
Concubine Li had already heard about Princess Mingzhu's temper, but she was not angry. After all, she came here on her own.
Concubine Li placed a basket of snacks on the table and took out a piece for Bai Zhirou.
Bai Zhirou looked at her hands, which were as white as jade. The joints were pink and smooth, just like the finest white jade embellished with peach blossoms, which made her skin look even whiter than snow.
A pair of sharp autumn eyes looked at people with affection, as if they had already expressed all the girl's thoughts before she even opened her mouth.
Women who can become concubines usually have good backgrounds.
Bai Zhirou didn't expect that there was someone in Prince Rong's Mansion who suited her taste.
Concubine Li was holding a piece of cake, her hands were sore, and as soon as Bai Zhirou opened her mouth to speak, she stuffed the cake directly into her mouth.
Bai Zhirou's eyes widened as she chewed a few times subconsciously.
White sugar osmanthus cake is really delicious.
If it weren't so sweet, she would probably like it more.
Seeing that she had eaten, Concubine Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I heard about the princess's deeds a long time ago, so I wanted to come and share in her blessings." Bai Zhirou looked at her steadily, and she let Bai Zhirou look at her.
He is open and honest, much better than Xia Yuning.
She had no direct conflict of interest with Concubine Li, but they had a common enemy.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Are you here to form an alliance with me?" Bai Zhirou went straight to the point.
Concubine Li lowered her eyebrows and said, "I have been married to the prince's palace for many years, but I have never given birth to a child for the prince. Now that I have met the princess, I feel that we are very compatible."
Bai Zhirou frowned slightly.
She felt that the alliance with Concubine Li was based on the fact that both sides had a common enemy.
But if she thought Bai Zhirou could be her daughter, that would be wishful thinking.
Concubine Li wanted to consolidate her position, but she was unable to get pregnant. After each sexual intercourse, Princess Rong would send her a bowl of contraceptive soup.
Bai Zhirou understood the key just by thinking about it.
She was happy to cause trouble for Princess Rong, Xia Yuning and others.
She gave Concubine Li a fertility pill and told her how to use it.
"Success or failure depends on you. Of course, if you think this pill is poisonous, you don't have to take it."
Concubine Li didn't expect that her trip would bring her such a great opportunity.
There was no reason for Bai Zhirou to harm her, and when she went to Haitang Garden tonight, there were so many eyes staring at her.
Concubine Li left with the fertility pills.
Mingcui was very curious about that thing, but since Bai Zhirou didn't say anything, she didn't ask.
Prince Rong stayed at Concubine Li's place every night, and today was no exception.
Prince Rong worked particularly hard tonight. Concubine Li was shaking with her body and her neck tilted back, forming a graceful arc.
After finishing the job, Concubine Li took advantage of the time when Prince Rong was cleaning to swallow the fertility pill.
The next day, Bai Zhirou got up early, packed her things, and went to wait at the door after breakfast.
Prince Rong's family arrived quickly, but this time there were three more people.
Xia Yuning was so happy to see that her three brothers also supported her that her steps became lighter.
But when she saw Qiu Tong and others waiting by the carriage, the smile on her lips suddenly froze.
How could they, how could they appear here!
In her previous life, she witnessed with her own eyes these three people being caught by the government for murder and being beheaded in front of the entrance of the vegetable market.
The woman next to them is there to collect their bodies.
Now these four people were standing in front of her in good health.
Princess Rong noticed her abnormality and patted the back of her hand. "Don't worry about your biological parents making things difficult for you. We are all here."
Xia Yuning's thoughts were instantly brought back to her senses, and she was very grateful for Princess Rong's appreciation of her.
The group set off in a mighty procession.
Xia Yuning's abnormality just now did not escape Bai Zhirou's eyes. Why was she so shocked when she saw these three people?
Isn’t Xia Yuning also hoping for her death?
Hasn't she seen these three bandits before?
Bai Zhirou was puzzled.
The carriage headed south, stopping at post stations along the way, so nothing happened.
As they approached the Jiangnan area, there were more and more beggars and refugees on the road, and they set their sights on this wealthy convoy.
When Xia Yuning saw so many refugees at once, she immediately put herself in their shoes and burst into tears.
Princess Rong praised her kindness and her eyes turned red.
The convoy stopped, and the pale and skinny refugees also stopped.
Bai Zhirou naturally also saw this scene, but she felt that the faster she passed through here, the better, as stopping would only lead to trouble.
But no one cared about her opinion.
"I feel bad seeing so many people without food and water and having to leave their homes. Giving them some money and food won't hurt us."
"Sister Zhirou, even if you only care about yourself, no one will say anything to you."
Xia Yuning wiped the corners of her eyes, her face looking desolate.
This time, Xia Mingyang rarely expressed his agreement. He looked at the group of refugees in front of him with a serious expression.
The horse under him kicked its hooves impatiently.
Bai Zhirou cursed him inwardly as an idiot.
When Xia Yuning saw that the refugees got food, a smile finally appeared on her lips.
But the servants would eventually run out of things, but the refugees kept swarming around them like flies attracted by the smell of blood, refusing to leave.
Seeing that the servants had nothing in their hands, the group of people ran towards the carriage with ferocious faces.
Driven by interests, they were like hungry wolves, and etiquette and manners had long become empty words. Unfortunately, those servants died in the pushing and shoving of the refugees.
Xia Yuning's face turned pale with fright, and she urged the convoy to leave quickly. Turning around, she saw that Bai Zhirou's carriage had already run far away.
In a panic, the convoy was dispersed by the refugees.
The carriage that Xia Yuning and Princess Rong were riding in swayed and deviated from the official road.
The three Xia Mingyang brothers immediately took their men to battle array, and killed them one by one with their swords.
When these refugees saw the blood and so many people being killed, they realized that these people were not easy to deal with, so they gradually stood firm.
He just stood there, staring sinisterly at the convoy of Prince Rong's Mansion.
