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

Xu Yan'er felt as if her heart was stuffed with cotton.

She could never have imagined that Ji Chuhe would come up with such an idea!

In order to stay in the palace, he has to work hard enough.

She actually said that she didn't want the prince's favor!

What surprised her even more was that Ji Chuhe actually caught the princess's eye.

The princess probably had no other choice. She had gone through so much trouble to marry the person, and even if he was a fake, she had to accept him. She had no choice but to vent her anger on Ji Chuhe.

"Yan'er, we can finally be together! Yan'er, I will never let you down in this life! Believe me." Xiao Yan'an excitedly held Xu Yan'er's hand.

"Yan'er and the prince are definitely in love." Xu Yan'er seemed to say this deliberately for Ji Chuhe.

She only temporarily gave up the identity of the Crown Prince's wife.

Ji Chuhe is not loved by the prince. Without favor, there will be no children. She wants to see how long Ji Chuhe can stay in the position of the prince's wife!

She had heard that some powerful families in the imperial capital had promoted concubines to become their principal wives.

She believed that she could do it too!

Although the princess did not agree to this matter from the bottom of her heart, she couldn't help feeling relieved when she thought that Concubine Xu would find out that Xu Yan'er was going to be the prince's concubine.

At this time, Concubine Xu was listening to the servants' report in the inner room.

"My Lady Dowager, the Crown Prince just had a conflict with the Princess again. This old servant saw it with his own eyes."

"Humph! Rong is so stubborn that she wants to marry a woman from outside to the prince. I also have ways to make things difficult for her! Let's see who will have the last laugh."

"Her Highness the Concubine said so. The Crown Prince's heart is with Miss Yan'er. Even if the Princess marries a wife, it will not shake Miss Yan'er's position in the Crown Prince's heart at all!"

"When the time comes, the prince will marry Yan'er, and the Rong family will never be able to raise their heads in front of me again! If birth is so important, why don't those noble ladies in the imperial capital become concubines!"

"That's right, Madam Dowager, your status is so noble now!"

……

Ji Chuhe and the princess walked into the main hall together.

Several concubines had all arrived and stood up to greet her and the princess.

The princess introduced these concubines to Ji Chuhe one by one.

Seeing the princess' attitude towards Ji Chuhe, the concubines also became more respectful to Ji Chuhe.

Last night, Prince Huaiyang rested at the concubine's place, and soon he came in with the concubine.

The only protagonist not present was Concubine Xu.

Everyone waited quietly.

I waited for several cups of tea before I heard any movement from inside.

Concubine Xu came out supported by a maid.

As soon as she came out, everyone stood up and saluted.

Concubine Xu loved this scene the most, as it especially satisfied her vanity.

How humble she lived in the palace, how proud she is now.

Ji Chuhe quietly glanced at Concubine Xu.

Concubine Xu was dressed in luxurious clothes, with the hairpins on her head swaying with her steps. She was nearly sixty years old, with a head full of white hair, and her clothes were still bright green.

It only cares about beauty, but lacks the necessary connotation and dignity.

Concubine Xu was once a palace maid of lowly status. The late emperor visited her on a whim while strolling in the imperial garden at night.

During this time, Concubine Xu became pregnant with the emperor's heir and was conferred the title of a sixth-rank noble lady.

Later, after giving birth to King Huaiyang, she was no longer favored. When the late emperor passed away, she was only promoted to the fifth-rank concubine.

She has always been bullied in the palace.

Now he is extremely powerful in Huaiyang.

"Everyone, please stand up." Concubine Xu raised her hand, full of dignity.

As soon as he sat down, his eyes were fixed on Ji Chuhe.

"Princess, such a big thing happened in the palace, and you actually kept it a secret from me. You really don't take me seriously!" Concubine Xu did not give the princess any face at all and scolded her in front of so many people.

"The Concubine Dowager is old, and she came to Huaiyang to spend her remaining years in retirement. I will be in charge of the affairs of the palace, so the Concubine Dowager should work less." The princess responded directly, without any politeness.

Ji Chuhe: Is there no foreshadowing at all between this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

Just choked up?

The Concubine Dowager wanted to interfere in all the affairs of the palace to show her status.

However, over the years, the princess has held great power and has not spoiled the princess dowager.

The concubine then set her sights on the princess' only son.

Xiao Yan'an was difficult to discipline to begin with, and Concubine Xu's doting and indulgence only fueled Xiao Yan'an's temper.

Xiao Yan'an also disliked his strict mother more and more, and instead particularly liked to be close to Concubine Xu.

Concubine Xu even allowed Xu Yan'er to seduce Xiao Yan'an, completely disregarding all propriety and morality.

The princess has always treated Xu Yan'er as a young lady, and has never neglected her food, clothing, and other expenses!

Who knew that he was actually a piece of shit from a brothel!

"Princess, what do you mean by this? An'er is my grandson, can't I ask about his affairs? It was a normal wedding, but the bride was replaced. How can you tolerate such a shameful thing? Do you still want to save the reputation of the Huaiyang Palace?"

"Even if the wrong person was carried up, she is still the legitimate daughter of the county magistrate. Although her status is not as noble as that of a noble lady in the imperial capital, she is worthy of the status of the prince's wife." The princess replied, every word was powerful.

"Humph!" Concubine Xu snorted coldly, "Status? Is status that important in your eyes? You don't care about An'er's lifelong happiness at all. Do you know who he likes and who he is willing to marry? You are forcing An'er like this, but it will chill An'er's heart!"

Concubine Xu used her usual tricks to sow discord.

"The most important thing today is for the newlyweds to serve tea. Let's put other things aside for now." The princess signaled for someone to serve the tea.

"Serve tea? What tea? Why would a fake serve tea to me?" Concubine Xu refused outright.

"He'er is now the Crown Prince's wife whom I recognize, Concubine Dowager, you have no idea how virtuous she is. She is a model of a mistress of the house!" The princess praised with a smile.

"As the mistress of the house, the most important thing is to be magnanimous and generous. When He'er heard that the prince and Xu Yan'er had secretly fallen in love, she asked me to make the decision and let the prince take Xu Yan'er as his concubine."

Concubine Xu's face suddenly froze.

"Mother, you are too kind. In fact, mother loves the prince so much that she plans for him silently. She has to consider the reputation of the prince and the palace, but she cannot let the prince suffer any injustice. How could she really disregard the happiness of the prince and break up the couple?" Ji Chuhe added.

Xiao Yan'an couldn't help but look up at the princess sitting in the main seat, a trace of shame flashed in his eyes.

The princess felt more comfortable in her heart. Ji Chuhe was such a talkative person.

Concubine Xu was so angry that she couldn't breathe.

These two people, singing and shouting, soon started breathing out of the same nostril!

"Is this how you treat Yan'er? I know it. You don't want to humiliate Yan'er, you just want to humiliate me!" The concubine slapped the table.

"Grandma, I will never treat Yan'er unfairly. Mother promised me that I will only favor Yan'er!" Xiao Yan'an spoke quickly.

"An'er, do you know that a wife is a wife and a concubine is a concubine? A wife is a master and a concubine is a slave. Their statuses are worlds apart! In the future, even if a child is born by Yan'er, he can only be a bastard! Isn't this unfair treatment?"

"Your Highness the Concubine is worrying too much. When Miss Xu and the Crown Prince give birth to a child in the future, it can be registered under my name and he will still be a legitimate son." Ji Chuhe quickly stated his position.

"You..." Concubine Xu was so choked that she couldn't speak. She could only glare at Ji Chuhe hatefully.

"Grandmother, I know that letting Yan'er be a concubine is really unfair to her. I will use all my savings to give Yan'er a formal ceremony that is no less than a wedding!" Xiao Yan'an was afraid that the concubine would not agree, so he promised under pressure.

The princess was about to get angry again, and Ji Chuhe spoke up quickly.

"My Lady Dowager, the Crown Prince is willing to give everything for Miss Xu. We, the bystanders, are all moved by this feeling. Could it be that the Crown Prince's infatuation is not as good as the status of a principal wife?"

Concubine Xu is used to sowing discord.

Today, Ji Chuhe returned the favor to him.
