I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

Soon four dishes and a soup were served. An Muxi and Xiaoqin were like hungry tigers pouncing on their food, not caring about being ladies at all.

The food in this restaurant is indeed delicious, and of course the price is not low, but An Muxi and Xiao Qin have worked hard for a long time today, so they might as well treat themselves.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Xiaoqin asked excitedly, "Master, you said you would take me to see a handsome man?"

An Muxi heard it and thought, yes, she had promised Xiaoqin to go see the handsome guy today, but the car accident delayed her time, and it was a little late after dinner.

So he said to Xiaoqin, "Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. It's a little late today. Next time we can wear men's clothes, it will be more convenient."

Xiaoqin had no objection, and the two of them planned to return to the palace. As soon as they walked out of the box, the door of the box opposite also opened.

Several men dressed as young masters of aristocratic families walked out. The one leading them had an elegant appearance and was wearing a dark purple python robe. An Muxi recognized this robe because she had seen Li Rui wearing it.

This person should be a prince, so it would be better to stay away from him. She quickly pulled Xiaoqin and wanted to leave.

The people on the opposite side also saw An Muxi's appearance clearly, and one of them said to the man in the python robe in a teasing tone: "Your Majesty, this is a top-grade product."

The man in the python robe chuckled, stepped forward to block An Muxi's way, looked at her with narrowed peach blossom eyes and said, "I wonder which family you are from, young lady?"

An Muxi was speechless, rolling her eyes in her heart. What she feared would come true. Was she being hit on? Being too beautiful was also a burden!

She took a step back and said calmly: "I'm sorry, I'm already married, please respect yourself." She couldn't show that she knew this person.

The man in the python robe didn't expect that this woman, who looked young, was actually married. Although he was a playboy, he didn't want to flirt with a married woman in front of others.

So he smiled and said, "What a pity! It seems that we two have missed a good story." Then he made way.

An Muxi hurriedly took Xiaoqin out.

After they left, King Cheng whispered a few words to his attendants before leaving. The attendant followed An Muxi and her servant until they entered the Prince Rui's mansion before returning.

The attendant returned to Prince Cheng's Palace and reported, "Your Majesty, they entered Prince Rui's Palace!"

King Cheng's name is Li Cheng, the son of Concubine Xiao. He is a playboy and has many concubines in his backyard. They are all real concubines. Unlike King Rui, those in his backyard are just decorations.

Li Cheng didn't expect that the woman was actually from Prince Rui's mansion, and she claimed that she was married. Could she be Prince Rui's woman?

He had seen both Princess Rui and Concubine Xu, and she was not one of these two people. However, she could enter and leave the palace at will. He felt something was wrong. When did such a woman appear in Li Rui's backyard?

Could it be his favorite concubine? I haven't heard of it.

He had also planted a woman in Li Rui's palace, so he had to find out more. Thinking of the woman's appearance, she was even more beautiful than the women in his backyard, and he couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

If I snatch this woman away, will Li Rui be angry? That icy face must be very interesting when he gets angry.

At this time, An Muxi returned to the Furong Courtyard of the Rui Palace. As soon as she entered the door, the maid Banxia reported: "Master, two concubines came to see you today. One is surnamed Zhao and the other is surnamed Fang."

An Muxi nodded: "I understand."

She knew that these two people would definitely come to see her, but she happened to be away.

She asked the maid to get her some hot water, took a comfortable bath, and then went to rest.

In the study of the palace, the secret guard who followed An Muxi knelt on the ground and reported her whereabouts today.

Li Rui's eyes were deep as he listened quietly. When he heard that she was hit by the carriage of the Duke of Ningguo's mansion, his brows frowned slightly.

Finally, when he heard that she had met King Cheng in the restaurant, his face darkened. King Cheng, a lecher, would definitely be tempted by her. This woman was really good at causing trouble.

I didn't expect that I would get into so much trouble just by leaving the mansion once. Well, she is from Prince Rui's mansion anyway, and those people can't find her.

And even if he found her, he would be able to protect her.

An Muxi lay comfortably on the large carved bed, thinking back on the day's itinerary, which was quite successful.

It was very fulfilling, although there were some twists and turns, but fortunately they were all resolved. I secretly made up my mind that next time I go out, I must wear men's clothes and be fully prepared.

She was very sleepy, and just when she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly felt someone was staring at her, and she was awakened by the shock.

She opened her eyes and saw a dark figure standing in front of the bed. She was startled and asked tremblingly:

"Who?!"

The man sneered: "I thought you were fearless."

"Your Highness? Why are you here?" An Muxi quickly sat up.

In the darkness, Li Rui's face could not be seen clearly, but the sense of oppression from a superior still made An Muxi feel her scalp tingling.

How did she get into the room in the middle of the night? There was no sound at all. She remembered that she had specifically told Xiaoqin to lock the attic door before going to bed at night.

Did Xiaoqin forget?

At this time, Li Rui walked to her bed and sat down.

An Muxi was so scared that she quickly shrank back. Although there was no candle in the room, the moonlight shining through the carved and hollow doors and windows still provided some light in the room.

Now the two were very close, and Li Rui saw that An Muxi was only wearing a thin nightgown with a wide open neckline, revealing the light pink bellyband underneath.

His eyes shrank, and he looked away a little unnaturally: "I heard that you got into a lot of trouble when you went out today?"

An Muxi didn't know what his purpose was, but she didn't expect that he knew her whereabouts so well. It seemed that he had sent someone to follow her.

I could only reply obediently: "I left the house today and didn't cause any big trouble.... It's all been resolved."

Li Rui pinched her chin, looked at her face, and said coldly: "Crashing into the carriage of the Duke's Mansion and meeting King Cheng are not big troubles, so I wonder what is a big trouble for you?"

An Muxi was secretly shocked. It turned out that the one in the restaurant was King Cheng. This dog prince had sent people to follow her since who knows when. He actually knew everything about her.

It seems that it will be very difficult to escape in the future. But for now, I still have to appease the Dog King and not let him restrict my freedom.

An Muxi grabbed Li Rui's wrist that was pinching her chin with one hand, then broke free from his hand and smiled: "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I will be careful when I leave the house next time."

Li Rui didn't expect this woman to be so bold as to grab his wrist and talk to him with a joking face.

He felt a little uncomfortable. Except for the princess, all the other women in the palace observed etiquette when they saw him, and no one dared to speak to him like that.

After feeling the slightly cool temperature of her little hand, he decided not to pursue the matter and just said coldly, "From now on, you only need to go out once a week to avoid causing more trouble for the palace."

An Muxi was so depressed when she heard this. She was restricted after just going out once? She was only allowed to go in and out once a week? If something happened again in the future, wouldn't she be locked up again and not allowed to go out?

An Muxi was unwilling to give up, and hurriedly said, "Is it okay to go out three times a week?"

Li Rui laughed angrily. Did this woman think he was negotiating with her? "No!"

An Muxi threw herself into Li Rui's arms and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, please agree to me, please?"

Li Rui was just about to leave when suddenly a soft body fell into his arms. He froze for a moment and his hands unconsciously wrapped around her waist.

This was the first time a woman dared to do this to him, and the feeling was a bit strange, but not unpleasant.

The woman's waist was slender and soft, and she leaned against his chest. He could smell the faint fragrance again. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his chest. It became difficult to breathe.

He pushed the woman in front of him away and said, "I agree." Then he disappeared in the room in the blink of an eye.

An Muxi felt that something was wrong with Li Rui just now, but when she thought about the fact that he had agreed to do it three times a week, she was in a good mood and didn't bother to care about the Dog Prince's affairs.

As long as he didn't take the initiative to look for her, she was determined not to see Li Rui. So she lay down and fell asleep quickly.
