The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

"This time, I will stay in the capital."

Princess Rong Le looked at the woman in men's clothing who was very familiar to her and said calmly, "The Su family sent news not long ago that your sister finally died."

The "sister" of Prince Consort Su was once Qin Ruying, but now she is her blood brother who tried to deceive Princess Rong Le and secretly took a concubine.

More than a decade had passed since the incident. When Qin Ruying mentioned this family again, she no longer had any unnecessary emotions left: "Really? It seems that he is quite tough. I thought that he should have been unable to bear it when he was beaten half to death, forced to wear women's clothes, and even bound his feet to atone for his sins."

"People who are not arrogant can always survive longer." Princess Rong Le smiled softly, covering her lips. "Of course, nothing is absolute. After all, although you and he have the same father and mother, your temper is much more stubborn and arrogant than his, isn't it -"

The phoenix eyes painted with golden red eyeshadow closed slightly, and the light brown eyeballs turned around, revealing a domineering look: "You haven't been tortured to death by your boring emotions, and you can still be so lively and cause trouble for me?"

Qin Ruying met his "wife's" coercive gaze without fear, but remained silent.

She was the consort of Princess Rong Le, and the last consort who made her change her mind and never marry again. But at the same time, she knew very well that she was just a fake man who dressed as a man to deceive everyone. In order to conceal her identity, she almost never left Princess Rong Le's residence. Even as her "wife" and the real owner of this house, Princess Rong Le never restricted her actions.

But is this Princess Rong Le's sincerity and kindness?

No.

Qin Ruying understood it better than anyone. He was helpless and had been mortgaged by his so-called family relatives as a form of compensation. No matter where he fled to, he would just be in the hands of this princess and the royal family's noble lady. His escape would not even anger the other party. On the contrary, it would add to her after-dinner entertainment.

She opened the door of the princess's mansion for herself, just to show that she was absolutely confident in the power at hand to control herself.

In Qin Ruying's view, this was another form of Princess Rongle's teasing and humiliation of her "female prince consort".

and so.

She tried to introduce forces from outside the mansion that were not under the control of Princess Rong Le to see if she could break the situation from within. Even if she couldn't, it would be a very refreshing thing to disgust her.

Thanks to Princess Rong Le's recognition of Qin Ruying's identity as the "prince consort", although her presence in the princess's mansion was not very obvious, she could still be considered half the master after all. It was not too difficult for Qin Ruying to secretly help the Hongyang Sect arrange pawns into Princess Rong Le's forces and place them in extremely inconspicuous positions.

Of course, she had anticipated that all her actions could not be concealed from her real master, Princess Rong Le, for too long. However, Qin Ruying had not expected that Princess Rong Le did not show much anger when facing the people from the Hongyang Sect whose identities were revealed and facing the big trouble that she had deliberately brought upon her.

Princess Rong Le was only anxious for a few days, and then she took away everything related to the Red Sun Sect from Qin Ruying, and also cut off all her ties with the Red Sun Sect...

What happened after that, Qin Ruying, who had returned to his original life of staying at home, had no idea.

But her life was not unchanged. Qin Ruying could clearly feel that after that incident, there were suddenly more people around her, and all her actions seemed to be somewhat restrained.

Faced with this change, Qin Ruying did not feel fear, instead she was very happy - Look, I succeeded in disgusting someone, didn't I?

Perhaps it was because Qin Ruying's desire to find out what kind of trouble Princess Rong Le had encountered was too obvious, or perhaps it was because her gloating when Princess Rong Le was in a state of anxiety was too glaring, that day, the other party finally couldn't help it and acted as if he wanted to talk to her.

Let’s talk.

Qin Ruying thought indifferently.

The conversation between the two was full of discomfort from the beginning. They asked and answered mechanically, and every sentence seemed to be mixed with a lot of ice chips.

"...I can actually cause trouble to His Highness?" Qin Ruying, who was already used to wearing men's clothes and using men's manners and etiquette, said in surprise, "That's really a great improvement. I just don't know if His Highness is willing to give me the opportunity to continue to improve."

"My Lord, do you mean to go against me?" Princess Rong Le narrowed her eyes slightly.

She really liked the stubbornness in Qin Ruying that had not changed in more than a decade, otherwise she would not have kept her as her consort. But when she finally decided to leave something in this destined glorious history, the existence of Qin Ruying who would secretly do something behind her back all the time seemed unpleasant to her.

"I have been acting as a go-between for Your Highness and that side...and Your Highness seems very satisfied with them. How can you say that I am against Your Highness?" Qin Ruying had a handsome face, but was more lively and charming than her deceased brother, the real Prince Consort Su.

Princess Rong Le couldn't deny that compared to the way Qin Ruying looked before when she was dead and only knew how to express her resistance with silence, she was now more interesting, handsome and touching when she took the initiative to cause trouble for herself.

However, Qin Ruying's next words made Princess Rongle wake up from her emotional state with some shame and anger: "I am clearly helping you, Your Highness."

help?

The Hongyang Sect is a heretical cult, an existence that will never be forgiven in the laws of Dasheng.

Princess Rong Le was well aware of how dangerous it was to be in collusion with them, and even to the point of wanting to do something even more unforgivable. Even if she just thought about it in her mind, she could almost smell the blood immediately.

But what can she do?

There was no longer any position that would satisfy her beside the next crown prince.

How could Princess Rong Le be willing to accept the status quo when she watched those royal women surpass her one by one?

She wanted so badly to do something.

The Emperor and the Empress were about to leave the capital for a tour. This was the only crack that she could see as she sat on the throne of the eldest princess and could not move an inch. Even though... even though she knew very well that what was hanging in front of her was a poisonous bait that would kill instantly with one strike of blood, she could not help but want to swallow it in one gulp.

Even if the road ahead is doomed to failure, she still wants to take a chance. This is the innate ambition and love of adventure that flows in her veins.
