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

Ji Chuhe looked at Princess Ning Xi, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

Did Princess Ning Xi also notice this?

"Let's not talk about these boring things." Princess Ning Xi suddenly looked at Ji Chuhe with interest, "I have always wanted to ask you a question, but I'm afraid it would be too abrupt."

"Princess, just ask. If it's a question I'm not comfortable answering, I won't answer it."

"Now that you mention it, I don't have any worries anymore." Princess Ning Xi really felt very comfortable getting along with Ji Chuhe.

"Chu He, you really didn't consummate your marriage with the prince?" Princess Ning Xi asked the question in her mind.

"Yes, we haven't consummated the marriage yet." Ji Chuhe answered truthfully.

"Oh my God! I thought I was being willful enough, but I didn't expect that you are even more willful than me! Are you going to stay like this forever? You will never consummate your marriage with the prince."

"Yes, I plan to keep going like this." Ji Chuhe's tone was light, but one could hear the determination and resolve between the lines.

"Chu He, there are some things I can't help but tell you. Although you already have three children, one of them has no blood relationship with the prince, and the other two were born to concubines. Moreover, their biological mother is still in the mansion. The children are still young and call your mother mother in a very affectionate way, but they will grow up sooner or later."

"When they grow up, they will naturally love their mother. You can dislike men, but you cannot give up your own children. Although childbirth is hard and extremely detrimental to your health, you still have to give birth to one yourself, whether it is a son or a daughter."

Ji Chuhe was unable to explain the matter of You'er to Princess Ning Xi.

She has a child, and this child has been with her for two lifetimes.

"Chu He, think about it again. In the future, no matter how the situation develops, someone will have to inherit the family business, right? Don't you want to leave everything you have worked hard for to your children?"

"Princess, life is too short. It is not difficult to give birth to a child, but I can only take care of him for half of his life, not for his whole life. Besides, a child who can be raised by me and inherit the family business, even if he is not close to me, his character and ability are all good. Even if he is my own child, so what? If he is not capable of bearing the heavy responsibility, leaving the family business to him is the most versatile."

Princess Ning Xi was stunned for a moment.

Originally, she wanted to persuade Ji Chuhe, but Ji Chuhe's words left her speechless, and she even felt that there was some truth in them.

She loved her daughter to her core, and felt sad when she thought that she couldn't be with her daughter throughout her life.

"Yeah, after all, I can't be with her forever."

"Princess, I just said it casually. Don't take it to heart. Even if we can't be with our child for the rest of her life, when she grows up she will have her own life. We should let her go and live her own life." Ji Chuhe quickly comforted her.

She had given birth to a child and knew the feeling of being a mother. At this moment, she could completely empathize with the princess.

After Ji Chuhe said this, Princess Ning Xi felt better.

"Life is short and will eventually die. As long as you don't let yourself down, your life will be fulfilling no matter how you live it." Princess Ning Xi said again.

"Princess, look." Ji Chuhe pointed to a tree in front of him.

A breeze blew by, and the withered yellow leaves fell with the wind.

"This fallen leaf can also represent the passage of time. One moment it was still hanging on the branch, and the next moment, it was drifting down with the wind. It is impossible for it to not return to the branch, and no one knows where it will be blown to in the next moment. The moment we just saw, even if it was short, was the time it wanted to seize. It does not need to be in a hurry, but can just drift leisurely with the wind."

Princess Ning Xi listened to Ji Chuhe's words and thought, "I understand what you mean. You mean that people can't live in the past, nor can they live in the future. They only need to care about the present."

"That's right. Live in the present moment and have a clear conscience. Your life will not be in vain."

Princess Ning Xi suddenly understood, "It seems that I was still too much influenced by the secular world. Now I understand it again."

Ji Chuhe picked up the teacup and raised it towards Princess Ning Xi.

Princess Ning Xi picked up her cup and clinked it with hers.

"Chu He, next time, let's not drink tea. How about drinking some wine?"

"Okay." Ji Chuhe replied with a smile.

……

After Ji Shuangshuang entered the palace, the emperor favored her for several days.

When someone is favored, someone else is out of favor.

Wei Yan, who was so glorious a few days ago, seems like a frost-bitten eggplant these days.

“Then the Japanese princess shouldn’t have left early! If I had kept my eyes on the emperor, how could I have given Ji Shuangshuang the opportunity to seduce the emperor! I’m so angry, how could there be such a shameless person!” Wei Yan punched the pillow in anger, “Even those prostitutes in the brothel are not as cheap as her!”

"Your Majesty, calm down. Be careful, there are ears behind the walls."

"Why! I'm not afraid of her!"

"It's not that I'm afraid, but I want to avoid her for the time being. Your Majesty has already had a conflict with her once, so it's not good to have another conflict. The Duke has said that what we need to do now is to regain the Emperor's favor as soon as possible, and also to get pregnant with a child."

Wei Yan took a few deep breaths and calmed down.

"Are the chrysanthemums I requested ready?"

"Your Highness, as soon as the Duke's Mansion heard your message, they immediately sent someone to prepare it. It should be delivered to the palace tomorrow. They are all precious species."

"When the chrysanthemums are ready, I will invite the emperor to appreciate them together. By then, I will make some preparations and will surely make the emperor favor me again!"

The next day, the chrysanthemums prepared by the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion were delivered to the palace.

This attracted many palace ladies to come and watch.

"I heard that Concubine Shu likes chrysanthemums the most. In previous years, Duke Weiguo's Mansion would prepare a chrysanthemum banquet for Concubine Shu to enjoy the flowers."

"Madam Shufei is so loved by her family that even after she entered the palace, the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion took her preferences into consideration and sent chrysanthemums to the palace."

"These chrysanthemums are really beautiful. I have never seen them before."

"After all, they are all rare species, and we are also feasting our eyes on them."

Wei Yan came to the Imperial Garden surrounded by the crowd.

The flower delivery craftsman had just brought the flowers down and arranged them neatly.

In previous years, these flowers had to be arranged in other styles for viewing. This year, Wei Yan plans to design the arrangement style himself.

After she looked at the flowers, she began to draw.

Suddenly, a red figure jumped over from the eaves, and several tiles were broken by her and rolled down from the roof.

Wei Yan was startled and immediately looked towards the source of the sound. When he saw the red figure, a strong feeling of disgust welled up in his eyes.

"Is she a savage? She jumps around every day and has no rules at all!" Wei Yan couldn't help but curse.
