Where is this?
"A magpie?!"
After an unknown amount of time, Rong Xi woke up. Thinking of what had happened, she sat up abruptly, only to see magpies rushing towards her.
"Master, you're awake!"
A magpie approached and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"
"No, I'm fine!"
Rong Xi gazed at the approaching magpies, then quietly pinched her leg. It hurt, proving she wasn't dreaming. Could this be an illusion? Had the hypnosis worked?
"Master, the Prince says you've broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm and wants to celebrate for you!"
The magpie's eyes lit up. "Master, you are truly amazing! If only I were half as amazing as you!"
"Baby, baby, what's going on?"
Unable to determine whether this was reality or an illusion, Rong Xi could only seek help from the spirit of the cave. Speaking of which, this little thing is really unreliable; it didn't even come to protect its master at this crucial moment.
"Foolish woman, those people only used a little brainwashing technique, but it won't work on you!"
The baby's disgusted voice echoed in Rong Xi's mind.
Brainwashing?!
Such magic exists?
"Those people altered those people's memories. You're here under my protection, so naturally you remember everything. However, you'd better remember this yourself: don't let anyone know that your memories are still intact!"
"Is that so?"
Rong Xi was dumbfounded. After all that fuss, it turned out that the Imperial Observatory was actually in charge of this kind of thing.
Damn it, she thought Master Kang was incredibly magnanimous, even with a cuckolded husband. Turns out, he had the Imperial Observatory alter the person's memory. Isn't that just blatant self-deception?
However, this is Master Kong's business, and it has nothing to do with her.
"Celebrate? How will you celebrate?"
"The magpie will be very powerful in the future. Once I find you the Meridian-Expanding Pill, everything will be fine!"
"I don't know, the Prince didn't say!"
Magpie blinked and said, "By the way, Princess Song was punished by the Prince. I heard she might be banished from the manor!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Xi truly lost her composure.
Song Gege has a single water elemental root and has already reached the Golden Core stage. What did she do to be punished by the Fourth Prince? She might even be banished from the manor. What kind of crime did she commit?
What happened?
"Also, how long did I sleep?"
Calming down, Rong Xi sensed that things were not simple.
"Reporting to Your Highness, this servant doesn't know what happened either. But you, I've slept for three days and three nights straight!"
The magpie's answer gave Rong Xi only one feeling: damn it, thank goodness she doesn't have any time-limited missions right now, otherwise, if she slept for three days straight, she might have been wiped out before she even got her hands on one.
Three days and three nights is a long time, enough for many things to happen.
"Where are Granny Rui and Granny Xiang?"
"The two matrons were summoned by the prince, it seems he had some errands to give them. Hmm, they've been gone for a day already!"
"..."
Rong Xi rolled her eyes. Damn it, Rui Mama and Xiang Mama are her people, okay? The Fourth Prince summoned her people without her consent. What's going on?
Forget it, a good woman doesn't argue with a man. I'll just swallow this insult for now.
"Magpie, I'm hungry. Go and have someone prepare some food!"
"Yes, this servant will go right away!"
The magpie immediately turned around and trotted out the door.
Rong Xi lingered on the bed for a while before slowly getting up, getting dressed, and leaving the room.
The weather was nice, sunny, and the sky was a clear blue with not a single cloud in sight.
Rong Xi strolled around the courtyard twice before heading to the stone table under the tree.
Before she could even sit down, she heard light footsteps approaching.
"This humble servant greets Your Highness!"
It turned out to be Princess Song, and she was very proper and respectful.
The dignified Golden Core Realm cultivator, Song Gege, was kneeling respectfully before Rong Xi.
"What is Princess Song doing?"
"Please get up!"
Rong Xi really hadn't expected Song Gege to act this way. In her mind, Song Gege had always been arrogant and haughty, or rather, she was incredibly superior and didn't take her, the primary wife, seriously at all.
"This humble servant has committed a grave error. I beg Your Highness to give this humble servant a chance to correct it!"
"I will repay your great kindness and virtue, my lady, even if I have to be your slave in my next life!"
Song Gege knelt on the ground and solemnly kowtowed three times to Rong Xi.
"You stand up and speak first!"
To be honest, as a transmigrator with modern ideas, Rong Xi really couldn't stand this person's habit of kneeling and kowtowing whenever he asked.
"If my wife does not agree, I will have no choice but to die!"
"I said, get up and speak. Can't you understand human language?"
Upon hearing Song Gege's clearly threatening words, "There is only death," Rong Xi immediately flew into a rage. She had lived two lives, and even in her previous life, as a simple woman with no particular talents, she had suffered hardships and losses, but she was not easily intimidated.
Some people are just born with a servile nature.
You treat him well, but he doesn't take you seriously. You have to yell at him and speak harshly to him before he'll listen to you.
Song Gege is undoubtedly such a person.
Rong Xi spoke to her politely, but she took Rong Xi for someone easy to bully. She only acted arrogantly because Rong Xi had to get angry.
"This servant..."
When Song Gege saw Rong Xi get angry, she panicked a little.
"Since my words have no effect, why are you still begging me?"
"roll!"
Rong Xi always felt that she was an open-minded woman who had been influenced by the ideas of later generations, and she could not be like the women of this era, who were always jealous and scheming.
But then she suddenly realized, damn it, times have changed!
If she wants to live comfortably here, she has to adapt to the times, not make the times adapt to her.
"Please calm down, my lady! I know I was wrong!"
Song Gege quickly stood up, still looking like a wronged little wife, and stood obediently to the side with her head bowed.
"Speak, what have you done?"
Don't even think about lying to me!
Rong Xi snorted, "If I find out you lied to me, I guarantee you'll regret it!"
"Reporting to Madam, this servant, this servant..."
Song Gege hesitated for a long time, but couldn't come up with a coherent answer.
"You don't want to say, do you?"
"no!"
"Please calm down, Your Highness. This servant... this servant tried to climb into Your Highness's bed the other night, and... and in the end, I angered Your Highness..."
"..."
Rong Xi was stunned when she heard what Song Gege said.
Is that all?
Damn it, weren't Song Gege and Li Gege both concubines of the Fourth Prince?
Shouldn't a concubine have sex with the Fourth Prince? Or is my understanding wrong?
"My Ladyship, I know I was wrong, please have mercy on me!"
Seeing that Rong Xi remained silent, Song Gege was about to kneel down again.
