Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

"However, you have to think it over carefully and don't rush to answer me. Because the prince is wholeheartedly in love with Miss Xu, and he has promised Miss Xu that he will only love her. After you are promoted to a concubine, it means that you will not be favored by the prince. You will just have a status like me, but you will definitely not be short of a penny in terms of food, clothing and other expenses." Ji Chuhe continued to reason with her.

"Madam! Don't think about it, I am willing!" Dong Ling agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, then the matter of taking you as a concubine will wait until mother comes back. I will ask for mother's permission and then start to arrange it. However, there is one thing I want to remind you. This matter must be kept secret for the time being, in case someone finds out and causes trouble." Ji Chuhe had some hidden meaning in his words.

"Yes, I understand." Dong Ling nodded immediately.

"You are still a little weak, so don't do anything for the next two days and take good care of yourself. Although you are a concubine, the day of serving tea is also an important day, so you should look bright and beautiful." Ji Chuhe said softly.

"Thank you, ma'am. I'll take my leave now." Dong Ling bowed and left.

Back in the room, I finally didn't have to keep my nerves tense anymore and couldn't help laughing out loud.

From the day she was assigned to be the prince's maid, she had always wanted to be his maid, and then be promoted to concubine after the prince got married.

She thought she would never have another chance in her life, but unexpectedly, she could achieve her wish so easily!

She is finally going to become the prince's concubine!

Only favor Xu Yan'er?

This sounds like a joke!

In this world, is there any man who would always keep his mind on one woman!

As long as she becomes the prince's concubine, she will definitely be able to share his favor!

Suddenly, the door opened and Lian'er looked into the room curiously.

"Sister Dongling." She called softly.

Dong Ling immediately put away the smile on her face and turned around, "Lian'er, you're here, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Lian Er walked in and said, "I'm a little worried about you. It's your first day serving in front of the Madam. Did she give you any trouble?"

"Madam didn't embarrass me."

"Oh, then sister, how come you came back so soon after you went there?"

Dong Ling forced a smile and didn't respond.

Lian'er secretly observed Dong Ling's expression and moved closer, "Sister Dong Ling, I think there is no future for us following the Madam. The prince is deeply in love with Miss Xu and only has Miss Xu in his heart. Sooner or later, Miss Xu will be the prince's wife."

"Lian'er, do you have any plans?"

"Let's go to Miss Xu. The Crown Prince's wife is a fake, and she has offended the Queen Mother. Even if she has the protection of the Princess, without the Crown Prince's favor, she can't keep her position at all. She might be divorced soon. It's better to go to Miss Xu to have hope. In the future, when Miss Xu becomes the Crown Prince's wife, she will immediately restore your status as a first-class maid, and you will be as glorious as before."

Dong Ling sneered in his heart.

A first-class maid? Isn't she a first-class maid now?

Xu Yan'er gave her a first-class maid.

I am half a master. Is she crazy that she wants to continue being a maid?

Besides, that night, the Crown Prince dragged her to humiliate the Crown Prince's wife. Who was the instigator?

After the incident, who instructed those people who used malicious words to drive her to despair?

She has been in the palace longer than Xu Yan'er. Although she is not very old, she knows the situation at the bottom of the palace very well!

Ji Chuhe also realized that Dong Ling was not a fool.

Get straight to the point and establish a solid relationship of interest.

People like this don't need her to teach them anything. Dong Ling will seize the opportunity on her own and know what she wants to do.

This is the art of controlling people that Ji Chuhe summed up in his previous life.

……

Xiao Yan'an stayed in Xu Yan'er's yard for the whole day, and only after having dinner with Xu Yan'er in the evening did he prepare to return to Mo Garden to rest.

When leaving, the two held hands tightly, reluctant to part.

"Yan'er, wait until I have dealt with the conscription, and I will let you marry me in style. In my heart, you are not a concubine, you are my wife."

"Yan'er understands the prince's feelings for her. As long as she can be with the prince, Yan'er doesn't care about anything else."

The two couldn't help but kiss each other again.

After finally parting, Xiao Yan'an left quickly, fearing that if he hesitated for a moment, he would be reluctant to leave.

Xu Yan'er was still savoring the kiss when footsteps were heard and Concubine Xu walked in, supported by Nanny Wang.

"Your Highness!" Xu Yan'er quickly got out of bed and went forward to pay her respects.

"No need to be so polite. I heard that you were ill. How are you now?" Concubine Dowager Xu looked Xu Yan'er up and down.

"I caught a cold last night, and I feel much better now after taking the medicine."

"The prince really cares about you. He comes back to accompany you even though he has important tasks to attend to, such as recruiting soldiers."

"My Lady Consort, Yan'er originally didn't intend to trouble the Crown Prince, but as soon as the Crown Prince came back yesterday, Ji Chuhe rushed to show his courtesy. Yan'er was worried that the Crown Prince was really bewitched by Ji Chuhe, so..."

"These are not important. What's important is that the prince has you in his heart." Concubine Xu interrupted Xu Yan'er's explanation, "This Ji Chuhe cannot be kept. She must be dealt with as soon as possible. Otherwise, if she stays in the mansion for too long, there will be endless troubles!"

"What are the plans, Her Majesty?" Xu Yan'er asked tentatively.

"If Ji Chuhe's reputation is ruined, she will naturally not be qualified to stay in the palace. Will you still be a concubine at that time? You will directly become the wife of the prince. Yan'er, you must clear the obstacles as soon as possible and take control of your own destiny."

Xu Yan'er was stunned for a moment.

Does the Concubine want her to take action against Ji Chuhe?

"What? You don't even want to fight for your own happiness?" Concubine Xu asked.

"I understand!" Xu Yan'er responded immediately.

Concubine Xu turned and left.

There was a gleam of malice in Xu Yan'er's eyes.

While the prince is at home, she will ruin Ji Chuhe's reputation tonight!

……

Ji Chuhe has the habit of taking a walk after dinner every day.

Usually only Mianzhu followed her.

Today, there is one more Dong Ling.

Xu Yan'er stood behind the rockery in the back garden, waiting for Lian'er to arrive.

Not long after, a figure walked over quietly.

"Miss, Ji Chuhe has already drunk the drugged tea, and Dong Ling is now walking around the garden with her."

"Okay, we'll see what happens later."

"Yes!"

Ji Chuhe had just walked a short distance when a figure suddenly rushed out and bumped into Mianzhu. The man was holding a basin of water in his hand and poured all of it on Mianzhu.

"I didn't mean it! Please forgive me, Madam." The little maid immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Get up and be careful next time." Ji Chuhe did not blame you.

"Thank you, ma'am." The little maid immediately stood up and left quickly.

Dong Ling glanced at Mian Zhu and said, "Sister Mian Zhu, your clothes are all wet. Why don't you go back and change your clothes? Madam, I'll be here to serve you."

"Go change your clothes, don't catch a cold." Ji Chuhe also ordered.

"Okay, miss, I'll be back soon." Mianzhu left quickly.

Ji Chuhe took two more steps and suddenly supported his head with his hands, looking dizzy.

Dong Ling quickly supported her, "Madam, are you too tired? How about I help you go to the pavilion in front to rest?"

"Okay." Ji Chuhe replied vaguely.

Dong Ling looked around and helped Ji Chuhe walk into the darkness.

From a distance, Ji Chuhe seemed to have lost consciousness and was completely dragged away by Dong Ling.
