There was a hint of resentment in Li Xiangru's tone.
Xiao Yuhan's pregnancy was three months old and the fetus was stable. When the emperor and queen in the palace learned of the good news, they all received generous rewards. Concubine Shu was overjoyed and received generous rewards.
Li Fei was originally quite satisfied with her daughter-in-law, but recently she has become cold and dissatisfied. Her words are urging her to get pregnant as soon as possible, and she cannot be compared with Xiao Yuhan...
The fourth prince was as cold as ice and rarely got close to her once in a month. How could she get pregnant by herself?
She had no choice but to let Concubine Li scold her.
That was all! What made her even more angry was that Concubine Li actually rewarded two young and beautiful maids to enter the fourth prince's palace! It was clear that she was going to reward the fourth prince as concubines!
As a prince, having a few concubines was nothing. She had been mentally prepared for it. However, Concubine Li's attitude was too tough, which made her very angry.
She is a serious fourth prince's concubine. Even if she arranges concubines for the fourth prince, she should be the one to make the decision!
However, the fourth prince was very filial and close to Concubine Li, his biological mother.
She only implicitly showed a trace of dissatisfaction last night, and the fourth prince put down his cold face, went to the study room, and then summoned one of the palace maids to sleep with her.
When she found out about this, she was so angry that she threw the tea bowl on the floor and cried until midnight before falling asleep.
…
Li Xiangru didn't want to mention a word about this troublesome thing.
Fortunately, Sheng Jinyue was also preoccupied and did not notice the strange look in Li Xiangru's expression. The two chatted for a while, then fell silent.
After a while, a maid came to report: "Miss Xie is here."
Li Xiangru came back to her senses and asked subconsciously: "Is Xie Mingxi here?" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he knew something was wrong.
The Xie family and the Huainan Palace are completely at odds with each other. Sheng Jinyue has decided on such a terrible marriage. Xie Mingxi might not be able to laugh, so why would she come to visit her?
"It's cousin Yunxi." Sheng Jinyue didn't look good when she heard the words Xie Mingxi.
Xie Yunxi.
A bright girl's face flashed in Li Xiangru's mind.
Princess Yongning has been imprisoned in Ciyun Nunnery, and gradually no one mentions her. Princess Yongning's mansion has also been completely forgotten by everyone, and its doors are neglected.
To be honest, Xie Yunxi is also a fool. He doesn't want to stay with the Xie family, but wants to stay in Princess Yongning's mansion. On weekdays, he has nowhere to go except to walk around the Huainan Prince's Mansion.
The King of Huainan has been ill for a long time, and the Huainan Palace has also declined. Who still has the leisure to take care of Xie Yunxi? The sixteen-year-old girl is married, and the marriage has not yet been settled. There is not even a serious person to come to propose marriage.
Sheng Jinyue's own marriage was not going well, and she was particularly indifferent when mentioning Xie Yunxi: "She has been here almost every day recently. I wish my grandfather would also arrange a marriage for her similar to the Chu family."
Yes, for Xie Yunxi at this time, a family like the Chu family and a marriage were already out of reach.
After all, she was just the daughter of a maid who lived in the same house, and had been pretending to be the legitimate daughter of the Xie family for many years. Now that she was brought back to her original form, and now living in the princess's mansion, how could a serious person marry such a girl as their daughter-in-law?
A thought suddenly flashed through Li Xiangru's mind, and his eyes lit up.
…
After a while, Xie Yunxi walked in.
A sixteen-year-old girl is in her prime, no need to decorate, and it is also the best time.
Xie Yunxi is beautiful and charming, with fair skin and a graceful figure. Today she is wearing a purple skirt, which makes her even more gorgeous.
"Yunxi has met the fourth prince and concubine," Xie Yunxi saluted respectfully.
The idea in Li Xiangru's mind became clearer and clearer, and he quickly made up his mind and was particularly kind to Xie Yunxi: "No need to be polite, get up quickly."
Then he smiled and said: "Sister Mingxi and I have been classmates for several years, and we are as close as sisters. When I see you, I feel like my own sister."
Xie Yunxi was quite flattered at first, but when she heard Xie Mingxi's name, her smile suddenly froze. Strong hatred flashed in her eyes.
If it weren't for Xie Mingxi, she would still be the proud legitimate daughter of the Xie family and the biological daughter of Princess Yongning. Even Xie Jun would not neglect her in the slightest.
But now...
She has fallen to where she is today, all because of Xie Mingxi!
Li Xiangru saw this trace of hatred in his eyes, smiled in his heart, and said gently: "I am alone in the mansion and have nothing to do. When you have free time in the future, how about you come to the mansion and talk to me?"
Xie Yunxi was surprised and happy, and responded with a smile: "Of course I'm free. Thanks to the fourth prince and concubine, I will have the audacity to come and disturb you from now on."
A heart beat wildly.
What was the purpose of the fourth prince's concubine being so kind to her and actively inviting her to the fourth prince's residence?
Could it be that she had secretly fallen in love with the fourth prince and was noticed by the fourth prince's concubine? No, absolutely impossible. She had never revealed it in front of others, and there was no way that the fourth prince's concubine knew about it.
If she had the opportunity to get close to the fourth prince...even being the prince's concubine would be much better than marrying an ordinary family.
Xie Yunxi's heart beat like a drum, and she subconsciously clenched her wet palms, as if she wanted to seize the most rare opportunity in life.
Li Xiangru smiled meaningfully and asked Xie Yunxi to sit down next to him.
Sheng Jinyue was not stupid. When she saw Li Xiangru treating Xie Yunxi with such unusual affection, she could vaguely sense that something was wrong.
Xie Yunxi is still a young girl waiting to be married, and her marriage has not yet been decided. If she goes to the fourth prince's house and falls into the eyes of others, it may damage her reputation... What is Li Xiangru's purpose in plotting against Xie Yunxi like this?
Is Xie Yunxi ignorant, or is he taking advantage of the situation and taking the opportunity to get close to the fourth prince?
...Forget it, it has nothing to do with her anyway. If her marriage is so unsatisfactory, how can she care about Xie Yunxi? Besides, Xie Yunxi is not a fool. If she doesn't want to, she will definitely not take the initiative to go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
Sheng Jinyue thought about it for a while and then put the matter aside.
…
No one expected that Xie Yunxi was so impatient. Within two days, he went to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. After that, he went two more times.
Xie San had been secretly keeping an eye on what was going on in the fourth prince's house, and soon reported the matter to Xie Mingxi.
After Xie Mingxi received the news, her eyes flashed and a sneer appeared on her lips.
Xie Yunxi, this idiot!
Li Xiangru only put a little bit of bait, and she swallowed it in one gulp.
In the previous life, Xie Yunxi married into the fourth prince's house and became the fourth prince's side concubine. Although she was not as beautiful as the main concubine, she was still a serious side concubine. In this life, it was obvious that she had fallen into Li Xiangru's plan!
After thanking him for his three reports, he said nothing more.
Yu An, on the other hand, rarely spoke more: "Miss, do you need to inform the great master about this?"
Now that the matter has not been exposed, if Xie Jun is willing to come forward, he might be able to win the title of concubine for Xie Yunxi.
Xie Mingxi said lightly: "No need."
Xie Yunxi wants to commit suicide, so let her do it!
