After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 17 He Won't Come Tonight

Seeing that the man had left and his back was no longer visible, Qiao Rongjin's expression changed instantly. He strode over to the table and chairs and sat down. His movements were completely unmannerly, and he even looked a little rough, with the unrestrained style of a gangster. He was completely different from the man just now.

Don’t say it, acting is very tiring!

I didn't sleep well that day, and it was already evening, and Prince Rui came to Haitang Courtyard to perform again.

In modern times, people act for survival, but in ancient times, they could not escape the fate of being a worker. It's amazing!

Faced with the speed at which his own mother's expression changed, Qi You was already numb, and he just went downstairs obediently to pour her a cup of tea.

"Mom, drink tea."

To be honest, if he hadn't watched his mother's acting from beginning to end, he would have believed it and thought that his mother really loved his father. I'm afraid his father is convinced that his mother loves him.

"Thank you, mother, for your good son." It was the first time that her adopted son poured tea for her. Qiao Rongjin was particularly gracious and drank the tea in one gulp in one go. When she put down the teacup, she pinched Qi You's little face. It must be said that the child's face was so smooth and tender, and it felt so comfortable to touch.

At the same time, maids from various courtyards hurried into the master bedroom.

The princess's place in Jinxiu Hall.

"Master, the prince is not resting in Haitang Courtyard, he has already come out."

The princess paused as she combed her hair, but this was expected, so she looked up and asked, "Then do you know where the prince is going tonight?" Is he going to that bitch Chen again?

"My Lord, I think the direction the prince is heading is the study."

study?

"Please have someone keep an eye on where the prince is staying tonight." The princess didn't think those little rascals would let go of this opportunity.

Although the prince will not stay overnight in the Begonia Courtyard, it is hard to say about other places. No matter how favored Chen is, the prince will treat her equally. Otherwise, not only will the women in the backyard be dissatisfied, but the virtuous concubine and His Majesty in the palace will not agree.

"Yes, master."

Luoyanju is the residence of the Chen family.

"Master, the prince is not staying in Haitang Courtyard tonight!" Yu Shu told his master the news he had found out, his tone full of unconcealed happiness.

Chen was soaking her feet and flipping through a storybook. She didn't even raise her head, but just said "hmm" lightly.

This was within her expectations. Begonia Courtyard was where she and he met, and they had many beautiful memories there. The crabapple trees were the evidence. When the prince saw them, he would only remember her goodness and would definitely not stay at Qiao's place. That was why she had proposed that the demoted Qiao should live in Begonia Courtyard, as she could not keep the prince there.

After all, Qiao's appearance is indeed a threat, and Chen doesn't want to leave such a hidden danger.

"That's right. Even if Mrs. Qiao grows up to be a fairy, she can't compare to the master in the prince's heart." Yuxi at the side blurted out.

Yu Shu was just about to agree. After all, that Qiao had been trying to make things difficult for her master. She was really annoying. She would probably be looked down upon by the masters in the backyard as a topic of conversation all night long. She was so pretty, but she was so useless that she couldn't even keep the prince who came to her territory. It was really ridiculous!

Chen interrupted Yu Shu who wanted to speak at the right time and said, "Okay, I'm going to sleep."

"Master, aren't you waiting for the prince?" Yu Shu always felt that the prince would come over.

"No need, he won't come tonight." When she said this, Chen herself didn't realize that she felt lost for a moment. Even if the prince cared about her, it was impossible for her to be the only one here. He still had so many beauties in the backyard waiting to be favored.

Plum Garden, where Mrs. Qin lives.

Qin was somewhat delighted to see the prince sitting opposite her drinking tea without saying a word. She just asked her personal maid to try it, but she never thought that the prince would actually come.

"Your Highness, would you like to try the tea that I personally made for you?" Qin looked at Prince Rui with a gentle smile.

"Good." Prince Rui took the tea from Qin's hand and tasted it slowly. After a while, he raised his eyebrows and praised generously, "It is indeed a great improvement."

Hearing this, Qin's eyebrows curved happily.

Seeing her master so happy, the maidservant at the side felt that everything was worth it. Fortunately, she had called the prince, otherwise her master would still be depressed. Tonight, she was afraid that she would offend Madam Yan again. After all, she appeared later than Madam Yan's maid. In the end, the prince chose to come back with her to visit his master.

But what does it matter? In this backyard, even the princess has to give her master some face. How can she, a person with no background, be qualified to compete with her master for people?

And at this moment in Linfengju.

Madam Yan's face was filled with gloom. There were broken pieces of teacup and scalding tea on the ground. Two shivering maids were kneeling on the ground beside her.

"Use! What's the point of me keeping you around? When I tell you to shout for someone, someone else gets there first! Useless! Useless!" Madam Yan was still not satisfied after scolding him. She kicked the nearest maidservant, who fell to the ground in an instant. She didn't even dare to cry out in pain and huddled in fear.

"Madam, calm down. I will teach them a lesson and this will not happen again next time." After saying that, Madam Yan's personal nanny glared at the two maids on the ground and said, "Get out of here quickly! Don't get in the way of Madam!"

"Yes, we'll get out right away, right away!" The two maids replied hurriedly as if they had been pardoned.

Madam Yan sat on the chair angrily, and said to her personal nanny in a wronged tone, "Madam! What do you think that bitch Qin means? She has done this kind of thing of snatching people more than once or twice. Is it just because she is the niece of Concubine Xian? What's so great about it..." Madam Yan wanted to eat Qin up.

"Madam! You can't say that. Even the princess dare not offend Qin. The virtuous concubine has always been protective of her niece. We can't afford to offend her! But don't say such things anymore. What if someone hears it?" When the nanny heard her master's words, she was so scared that her heart almost stopped, and she hurriedly interrupted her master's wild talk.

“I can’t say this, I can’t say that, you might as well just tell me to die! I, Yan Fangshu, am not afraid of her. I gave birth to a pair of twins for the prince, a boy and a girl. I’m a hero of the Rui Palace. Who else but the princess dares to disrespect me? The virtuous concubine may not choose Qin over me! I’m so mad at you, this bitch!” Madam Yan’s face was twisted with anger, her chest heaving, and her eyes seemed to be poisoned.

"Oh! Madam, let's be patient for now. I'm afraid your appearance may not be as good as Qin's. The prince has never liked her and hasn't been to her for more than half a month. I'm afraid he is feeling guilty today. Otherwise, why would he not come to our place? Don't you agree?"

After the nanny said this, Yan's angry expression looked a little better.

She felt that what the nanny said was right. Qin's looks and figure could never compare to hers, and she was even darker. The prince must have been willing to take a look at her because of the relationship with the virtuous concubine, and it was definitely not because she was inferior to Qin. Thinking of this, she felt a little better, but she was still angry.

"If it happens again, no matter who she is, I will punish her to death!"

"Yes, yes, Madam, it's late, go to bed quickly, the Fourth Master has to go to the study room to study tomorrow."
