"Hold on tight!"
Rong Xi couldn't stand this person kneeling down so easily, especially since he used kneeling as a way to threaten her.
But why did Song Gege come to me after this incident, even though she angered the Fourth Prince? Why did she ask me to plead with the Fourth Prince on her behalf? Could there be some special meaning behind this?
"My Ladyship, I truly know I was wrong!"
Song Gege spoke pitifully, her delicate and pitiful appearance making one's heart ache with pity.
A beautiful woman shedding tears is truly a sight to behold.
"I understand what you're saying. As for how to resolve it, we'll discuss that after I've thought it over!"
"You should go back first!"
For the proud and haughty Song Gege to be so humble, Rong Xi simply refused to believe there wasn't something fishy going on. Therefore, she decided to postpone the matter and see.
Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, delaying is the best policy; this is an ancient saying.
"Madam!"
Upon hearing Rong Xi's words, Song Gege's expression became even more charming and pitiful, looking utterly wronged.
"Are you deaf or unable to understand what I'm saying?"
Damn it, they're so ungrateful! They've spoiled us rotten!
Rong Xi wasn't going to tolerate Song Gege's "bad habits." She wasn't stupid; how could she possibly give Song Gege the opportunity to scheme against her? The more anxious Song Gege was about something, the less she would let her have her way.
"This servant knows her mistake, this servant takes her leave!"
Faced with the strong-willed Rong Xi, Song Gege had no choice but to give in.
This world is certainly one where the strong are respected. However, within certain systems, status still determines hierarchy.
Generally speaking, a woman who can become a prince's consort must be one in ten thousand, possessing not only outstanding talent in cultivation but also considerable skill.
Ulanara, however, was an exception.
Song Gege left, but her heart was filled with grief and indignation.
Rong Xi felt she needed an advisor to help her analyze the current situation. The problem was, the magpie was clearly no help in that regard.
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang had some experience, but the two of them were summoned by the Fourth Prince.
etc!
Rong Xi suddenly frowned. Rui Mama and Xiang Mama were her people. While she was still unconscious, the Fourth Prince took away her bodyguards silently without saying goodbye.
Could this have been done intentionally by the Fourth Prince?
If so, then it means that Song Gege's matter is not so simple.
She has to make a decision alone, and that decision could have a huge impact. It might even determine the course of her life!
This is a problem!
Although Rong Xi doesn't have decision-making difficulties, how can she make a judgment and choice given the current lack of information?
"Master, breakfast is here!"
The magpie's call interrupted Rong Xi's thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Rong Xi instantly forgot about Song Gege's matter. Of all things, eating was the most important.
It was a rare treat that breakfast consisted of rice porridge made by Linggu.
"Magpie, where did this spirit grain porridge come from?"
"The spirit grains were sent by the person you brought back last time, um, the one surnamed Sun. There were a lot of spirit grains, and some spirit beast cubs too. I had them all sent to the kitchen!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing the magpie's words, Rong Xi forgot about enjoying the delicious spirit grain porridge and rushed to the kitchen.
What a waste of money!
She was going to cultivate these spirit rice seeds, and raise the spirit beast cubs. These were crucial to whether she could enjoy spirit meals regularly in the future, so how could she eat them now?
Fortunately, Rong Xi arrived in time.
There are still more than half of the spirit rice seeds left, and there are also spirit beast cubs, and they are all doing well.
"Master, have I done something wrong?"
Magpie waited for Rong Xi to return before kneeling on the ground in fear and trepidation, and speaking cautiously.
"Get up right now! You're innocent, but that doesn't mean you're guilty!"
Although Rong Xi was heartbroken, the spirit rice seeds were meant to be eaten. She might as well eat some now; after all, she was truly wealthy and powerful.
The idyllic paradises that the Qing imperial family relied on to build their fortunes have now become her backyard. She can easily make up for the losses by charging a small usage fee.
Of course, you have to be careful with this kind of usage fee. If you make a big fuss, it might cause a huge uproar.
Just like before, she casually banished two scoundrels who offended her eyes, and it somehow got involved with the Crown Prince, and also with Kangxi's woman, oh right, and a woman who wanted to kill Kangxi.
Thinking about it this way, isn't Master Kang's head already covered in a vast grassland?
Rong Xi quickly pulled her wandering thoughts back. Seeing that Xi Que was still kneeling on the ground, she frowned and said, "Xi Que, get up quickly!"
"Master, I have made a mistake. Please punish me!"
"I heard from Granny Xiang that without rules there can be no order. If you don't punish me for my mistake, others might follow suit!"
"Did Granny Xiang say that?"
Upon hearing Magpie's words, Rong Xi frowned even more deeply. "When did she say that?"
"It was just yesterday!"
The magpie looked up at Rong Xi.
Upon hearing this, Rong Xi immediately stepped forward, pulled the magpie to her feet, and said, "You're right, nothing can be accomplished without rules. In that case, I, your wife, will punish you by making you clean this courtyard today!"
"Yes, this servant will go right away!"
The magpie looked delighted upon hearing Rong Xi's words.
Rong Xi herself was also in a great mood.
