Hongyu returned to her room and felt a little disappointed, but more embarrassed, when she thought about what the princess had just said about the prince's reluctance to take a concubine.

The former prince was relatively gentle to her, and would occasionally call her "little darling" or "sweetheart"... Who could forget the name of their sweetheart!

"Sister Hongyu."

Hearing Cuiwei knocking on the door, Hongyu came back to her senses and quickly got up to open the door, "What's wrong, Sister Cuiwei?"

After Cuiwei sat down, she answered truthfully, "I just wanted to learn about the prince's temperament from my sister so that it would be easier for me to act in the future."

Looking at Hongyu's stunned expression, she smiled distantly, "Sister, in this mansion, the princess is my master. All I have to do is listen to my master and share her worries."

"I will not compete with my sister for favor, I will only join hands with her."

Hongyu paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "You are too direct, girl."

"Don't worry, the princess is also my master, and 'competing for favor' is just a matter of appearance."

Perhaps they shared the same pain, perhaps they were in the same camp, or perhaps it was because they both had the same goal, both wanted to rely on Xiao Yunxi to die peacefully.

The two of them looked at each other knowingly, and their relationship became much closer than before.

Cuiwei continued to ask: "What kind of person is the prince?"

Hongyu started serving Lu Jingting when she was ten years old, so she has some understanding of his temperament.

"The prince likes others to obey him and will not tolerate any disobedience."

"Originally, the prince had three personal maids: me, Wanyu, and Xiyu. Wanyu is now Lin Wan'er."

"Xiyu is the prettiest, and a bit spoiled. Originally, the prince liked her the most."

"But she told the prince, 'I'd rather be the wife of a poor man than the concubine of a rich man.' She would rather die than be the prince's concubine."

"The prince used every possible means, including threats and bribes, but failed to obtain her. Later, he found an excuse, beat Xiyu with a stick, and sold her off. I heard that she was sold to a brothel..."

Cuiwei cursed without any hesitation: "You bastard!"

Hongyu chuckled, "Yeah, you dog man!"

She recalled Xiyu's expression of despair and resentment when she was dragged away by the human traffickers, and could not hide her regret in her words, "The prince said that anyone who dares to plead for her will be punished with the same crime... I..."

"Sister, don't blame yourself. Even if you begged for mercy at that time, even if you hit your head, it would be useless."

Hongyu nodded and continued to talk about the past, "Wanyu, now known as Lin Wan'er, was the most ordinary-looking, but she was the best at pleasing others and acting cute. Slowly, she won the heart of the prince."

"The prince even threatened to 'marry no one but her', but was stopped by the old prince. The old prince originally wanted to beat Lin Wan'er to death, but she was lucky and got pregnant."

"Plus, the prince begged on his knees for a few days, and the old prince softened his heart and sent her to the farm to fend for herself."

"I never thought that the bitch could give birth to the child, and even deceived the prince and deceived the princess, turning it into a legitimate son or daughter!"

Hongyu spat bitterly.

Cuiwei pondered for a moment and said frankly: "The princess should have known the truth a long time ago. She is just keeping it to herself now, but the time has not come yet."

Hongyu was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it, she finally reacted.

"However, since the prince is willing to die to marry Lin Wan'er, why doesn't he give her a status now?"

She has been brought into the mansion and the child has become a legitimate son or daughter, so how come she is not even considered a concubine?

"The prince is like a donkey. He won't move even if you pull him. He even walks backwards. The old prince and his wife and the prince and princess didn't allow him to do so, but he insisted on marrying Lin Wan'er."

"The imperial decree granted marriage to the princess, but he insisted on ignoring her."

"After all, he doesn't like Lin Wan'er that much."

Cuiwei thought for a moment, "I know what to do now."

Hongyu was stunned, "What do you know?"

Cuiwei looked at Hongyu and smiled softly, "Sister, you have to stroke the donkey's fur, but you also have to whip it. Not only do you have to be both welcoming and resisting, so that he has the desire to conquer you, but you also have to be gentle and docile, so that he will indulge in the land of tenderness, thinking about you all the time, and finally lose his will for love!"

Hongyu frowned and fell into deep thought. After a moment, she suddenly understood, "I understand. I should take the initiative first, then find an excuse to refuse, and then half-heartedly agree to it when he comes to me."

"You come first or me first?"

Cuiwei....there's no need to ask so directly.

The two continued chatting for a while and then prepared to go their separate ways.

A few nights later, Hongyu dressed up carefully according to Lu Jingting's preferences, sprayed some wine on herself, and holding an empty wine bottle, sat down next to the rockery not far from Lu Jingting's study.

I heard the maid whisper that the prince had returned home and was walking towards the study.

Hongyu immediately gathered her emotions and began to sob softly.

"Who is making a noise here?"

After returning home, Lu Jingting went straight to Shou'an Hall to pay his respects. He was still wearing the armor of the Golden Guards and had a stern expression, like a general fighting on the battlefield.

He looked coldly at the beautiful woman in front of him, "Who are you?"

Why does this woman look so familiar? I feel like I have seen her somewhere before.

Seeing that Lu Jingting didn't even remember her name, Hongyu's peach blossom eyes flickered with anger, "She's just an insignificant servant."

After saying that, he glared at Lu Jingting fiercely, took a few steps back, turned around and ran away.

Lu Jingting was stunned at first. This look... Hongyu? !

He was about to chase after her, but he could no longer see Hongyu, so he had to give up.

A few days later, Lu Jingting met Hongyu again in the same place.

He trapped the man in a corner of the rockery and smiled coldly, "I've been out of the house for two years, and I don't even recognize my master."

Hongyu rolled her eyes coquettishly, "I remember the prince, it's you who don't remember me!"

"Maid?"

This is the self-proclaimed title of concubines and aunts.

Lu Jingting remembered that Xiao Yunxi had said before that she had given him two concubines, but he was so angry at the time that he didn't hear the names clearly.

Looking at Hongyu who was looking up at him angrily and timidly, Lu Jingting had an idea.

He stayed in Tingyuxuan that night.

Early the next morning, Cuiwei came to Feiyu Pavilion to pay her respects.

Chunxiao glanced at Cuiwei and continued to report, "Princess, the prince stayed in Tingyu Pavilion last night."

Xiao Yunxi nodded and looked up at Cuiwei. Seeing that her expression didn't change at all, she praised her in her heart.

"Send a bowl of pregnancy medicine to Hongyu so that she can have a good rest. She doesn't need to come to pay respects today."

Just as she turned around and was about to say something to Cuiwei, she heard the little maid saying that Hongyu came to pay her respects.

"Let her in."

After Hongyu came in, she knelt down immediately and said, "Princess, please give me a bowl of contraceptive soup."

Xiao Yunxi looked at her quietly. What happened?

Could it be that Lu Jingting is really not capable? !
