Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress
Chapter 4: Guessing the Heart and Gaining Trust
Before Prince Huaiyang was granted a fief, he had no sense of existence as a prince in the palace.
Later, its presence was so low that it was forgotten during the struggle for imperial power.
Currently, the princess is in charge of the entire palace.
The Prince of Huaiyang also had a concubine, several concubines, and several illegitimate sons and daughters.
The princess has only one son, the prince, who is also the only legitimate son in the palace.
There is also a big Buddha in the palace, which is the statue of Concubine Xu, the biological mother of Prince Huaiyang.
The relationship between the princess and Concubine Xu is like fire and water.
Ji Chuhe had already stood in line, and the person she was standing with was her mother-in-law, Princess Huaiyang.
As for the prince, he can like whoever he wants.
In his previous life, Ji Chuhe had heard Ji Qingyuan return to the Ji Mansion and cry about what happened on her wedding night.
On the night Ji Qingyuan got married, the prince did the same as the night before, dragging a woman to the bridal chamber in front of Ji Qingyuan.
Ji Qingyuan could not stand such humiliation and made a big fuss, accidentally injuring the prince in the scuffle.
Concubine Xu punished Ji Qingyuan by making her kneel in the ancestral hall for three days.
The princesses who were in the same camp did not speak up for Ji Qingyuan.
Ji Qingyuan was bent on gaining the favor of the prince, so she took out all her anger on the maid and caused a death!
The princess no longer tolerated her and gave her a severe lecture.
What made Ji Qingyuan even more disillusioned was that she had mistakenly identified the wrong person.
The woman the prince liked was not that maid at all, but Xu Yan'er, the great-niece of Concubine Xu.
That maid was just used to stimulate her.
After Ji Qingyuan identified her enemy, she fought with Xu Yan'er over and over, but she didn't gain any advantage and even made Xu Yan'er her co-wife!
The prince didn't even look at her.
With Xu Yan'er and I, we have two children in three years, and the family of four lives happily together.
Later, the princess fell seriously ill, and Prince Huaiyang took the princess away from the palace to recuperate in another courtyard, and Xu Yan'er took over the management of the palace.
Ji Qingyuan ended up being neither favored nor powerful.
Later, the princess died, and Prince Huaiyang was somehow implicated in the struggle for imperial power, and ended up with his entire family being executed.
Ji Chuhe was already the wife of a powerful official at that time and heard some secrets.
The case of Prince Huaiyang seems to be related to Concubine Xu.
Even the princess's death was suspicious.
In this life, she became the Crown Prince's wife, and she had to find a way to escape unscathed.
Ji Chuhe was led by Qingluo into the inner room.
The room was filled with a faint scent of pear. The princess was still dressing herself, looking more approachable and gentle.
"The daughter-in-law pays her respects to the mother. I pay my respects to the mother." Ji Chuhe stepped forward gracefully and saluted.
The princess turned around and said with a faint smile, "Excuse me, why are you up so early?"
"My daughter-in-law asked Aunt Qingluo what time my mother got up, so I came to help her wash and dress."
"I know how filial you are. Mother has someone to serve her. From now on, just come and greet her."
"Yes." Ji Chuhe responded softly.
"Prince didn't return to his room all night?" the princess asked knowingly.
"Not only did the prince not return to his room last night, but my daughter-in-law also did not see him this morning."
"The prince is angry with his mother about his marriage. Mother is not afraid of making you sad, so I'll tell you the truth. The prince actually already has someone in his heart." After the princess finished speaking, she looked at Ji Chuhe's reaction.
"I see. Then, mother, can you tell me who the prince likes? I can take the prince's beloved as a concubine and let her accompany him every day."
"Pfft!" The princess chuckled.
Just thinking about making Xu Yan'er a concubine made her unable to resist.
There is nothing that can humiliate Xu Yan'er and slap the concubine's face more than this.
What is a concubine?
It's a slave!
It just fits the lowly status of Concubine Xu!
It's not that she disagrees with taking Xu Yan'er as a concubine.
Since her son likes her, why should she cause the mother and son to be separated!
Xu Yan'er was determined to marry the prince, and had always been aiming for the position of his wife.
With Concubine Xu's support, she felt even more confident.
The prince was so fascinated by Xu Yan'er that he insisted on marrying her. The princess then married the daughter of the Ji family, blocking Xu Yan'er's way!
"The person the prince loves is the grandniece of the concubine, named Xu Yan'er. Back then, the concubine was favored by the emperor, and the emperor and the queen mother allowed her to live out her days in the prince's fiefdom. She brought her nephew's family to Huaiyang, and raised her grandniece Xu Yan'er in the palace."
"Xu Yan'er was born in a lowly family. Her grandfather was a beggar, and her father was a peddler who walked the streets of the imperial capital's West City. After she came to Huaiyang with the imperial concubine, the prince arranged jobs for them. How could a girl of such a family marry the prince and become his principal wife?"
"But Xu Yan'er is too ambitious to be my concubine! Because of this, the relationship between the prince and I is in danger. He'er, you must find a way to capture the prince's heart and snatch him back from Xu Yan'er!"
When Ji Chuhe listened to the princess telling the whole story, he knew that he had gained some of the princess' trust.
At the same time, the princess also gave her a task.
It is both a temptation and a test.
She was not sure about competing with Xu Yan'er for the prince.
If she can't handle this matter well, she will probably have no place in the palace.
She doesn't need the prince's favor.
She only wanted the princess's affirmation and trust.
She not only needs to have a foothold in the palace, but also has to have an important status and power.
What the princess wanted was not to win back the prince's heart, but she just didn't want the relationship with him to become more and more strained.
"Mother, please calm down. Your daughter-in-law has a way to resolve this matter. She will definitely not cause you and the prince to be separated." Ji Chuhe said softly.
The princess smiled and nodded, opened her dressing box and took out a pair of jade bracelets.
The jade bracelet was snow-white all over, like mutton fat, and it had a moisture-like luster that seemed to be dripping.
"This is mother's dowry when she got married. It has been with mother for many years. Today I give it to you." As she said this, the princess put the jade bracelet on Ji Chuhe's wrist.
"Thank you, mother, for the reward." Ji Chuhe quickly took a step back and knelt down to salute.
This bracelet is obviously very valuable. Even if Geng emptied her family's savings to prepare a dowry, there would not be a single precious item like this.
At the beginning of the last century, He was already the wife of a powerful official, but she did not have such good jewelry.
Shen Chengjing was so hypocritical that he almost had the word "integrity" engraved on his forehead.
She thought he was cautious and prudent, and that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger, so he must not show off. However, she did not expect that when he kept Ji Qingyuan outside, the luxury of their house was jaw-dropping!
It’s not that he has no money, he just doesn’t want to spend a penny on her!
In her previous life, she lived a whole life but was not as rich as she is now.
She will definitely be richer in the future!
"You sit and wait for a while. After your mother finishes her makeup, she will go with you to Changning Palace to pay respect to the Queen Mother Dowager. You can offer her tea in the Queen Mother Dowager's palace."
"Yes." Ji Chuhe sat on a stool nearby.
In less than an incense stick of time, the princess had finished her makeup and went to Changning Palace with Ji Chuhe.
Along the way, he was in a good mood and introduced the palace to Ji Chuhe.
It seemed as if he had already treated Ji Chuhe as his own.
As soon as Ji Chuhe and the princess arrived at Changning Palace, they saw two figures standing in the pavilion.
It was the Prince and Xu Yan'er.
Xu Yan'er had her back to the palace gate, seemingly crying.
The prince was coaxing him anxiously.
Looking from Ji Chuhe's position, he could see Xu Yan'er's dark black hair extending all the way to her waist, making her waist look even slender.
Just the back view is already adorable.
"Don't cry, Yan'er. You are the only one in my heart. I only love you in this life. The world can bear witness to my love for you! Even if I get married, I will never touch her, let alone treat her as my wife."
"Your Highness, Yan'er is destined to have no fate with you in this life. Yan'er does not want to let you down, so she is going to become a nun, and live out the rest of her life with a green lamp and an ancient Buddha."
"What do you mean by shaving your head and becoming a nun? Stop talking nonsense! Give me a little more time, and I will find a way to divorce Ji Chuhe! She is a fake in the first place!"
"The princess has arrived!" A message suddenly rang out.
The two people who were in love suddenly trembled.
Xu Yan'er quickly wiped the tears from her face and walked over to pay her respects to the princess.
Xiao Yan'an also walked over reluctantly.
