The women of the princes who have been crowned as kings are divided into three levels: principal wife, concubine, maid, and maid.
Zhu Xianyun was not only a concubine's daughter, but also raised by a virgin. These two points alone made her unworthy of Tang Jingzhou.
But at the polo match, Zhu Xianyun "accidentally" scared Tang Jingzhou's horse. Tang Jingzhou was a kind and gentle man, and he didn't want to see Zhu Xianyun get kicked, so he saved her.
During the rescue process, Zhu Xianyun's body was inevitably touched. Zhu Xianyun was so scared that she clung to Tang Jingzhou's clothes and refused to let go. This scene was seen by others, and Zhu Xianyun's reputation was ruined.
After all, this marriage was not obtained through three letters and six secret betrothal gifts, so giving her the position of a concubine was considered a compliment to her.
But... low rank doesn't matter.
What’s important is that Tang Jingzhou grew up under the empress’s care, and the prince was sickly, so he could be considered a half-legitimate son.
If Tang Jingzhou ascends to the throne one day, his concubine will also be the queen in the palace and have a high status.
That's why Zhu Xianyun's family was so happy.
But... Zhu Xianyue clearly remembered that it was Zhu Xianzhen who liked Tang Jingzhou first.
Although love is free, sisters should also be considerate of each other. I will not be involved in anything you like.
Zhu Xianyue plans to go and see Zhu Xianzhen.
…
When he arrived at the gate of Zhu Xianzhen's courtyard, Zhu Xianyue was stopped by Zhu's wife Du Qiurong.
"Mother."
Zhu Xianyue bowed and saluted.
Du Qiurong looked at her with satisfaction and said, "You have been much more well-behaved recently." She saluted very properly.
In fact, Zhu Xianyue didn’t know why - she had clearly traveled through time, but the ancient memories seemed to be engraved in her mind, and she could reproduce them perfectly with just a little thought.
Zhu Xianyue thought, maybe it was because she was the chosen one to travel through time.
Du Qiurong still loved Zhu Xianyue very much, so she fulfilled Zhu Xianyue's infatuation with the prince and let her become a quasi-widow.
"Yue'er, mother knew you would come to see your useless sister, so she stopped you here."
"Listen to your mother, go back to your room and don't worry about your sister. As the legitimate daughter of the Zhu family, you should have a phoenix bone. How can you let yourself be sad because of someone else's unpresentable behavior?"
"Let her cry as much as she wants. If she cries herself to death, I'll just pretend I don't have a daughter."
Although she said this, Du Qiurong turned her head away with red eyes.
Having lived in the inner palace for many years, Du Qiurong could naturally see the strangeness in this matter.
This time, Zhu Xianyun deliberately went after Tang Jingzhou, deliberately scaring his horse and making him save her.
This behavior is despicable but useful.
But Du Qiurong has always taught her children to be upright and not to do mean things.
Zhu Xianyun took advantage of the opportunity... Then don't worry about Tang Jingzhou anymore.
The daughter of the Zhu family should be able to take on responsibilities and let go.
"Oh..." Zhu Xianyue had nothing to say.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard Zhu Xianzhen's voice from inside: "Who said I cried my eyes out? Mother, in your heart, Xiaoliu is the best, and I am the worst, humph."
The door opened from the inside and Zhu Xianzhen walked out.
Her complexion was rosy and she looked full of energy. How could she look like she was troubled by love?
A hint of surprise flashed across Du Qiurong's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, and she returned to her serious mistress appearance.
"Since you are free, you and Yue'er can have dinner in my room tonight. After dinner, follow the rules."
"Daughter understands." Zhu Xianyue and Zhu Xianzhen said in unison and saluted at the same time.
Only then did Du Qiurong leave with satisfaction.
