The Crown Prince smiled, "Prince Jin has a lot of beautiful women by his side, he himself has his own subordinate, Yu Zhu from before was just playing around."
"I know that too, but the Prince Jin and the Prince Duan have a close relationship, so I'm a little worried."
The crown prince comforted him, "mother doesn't have to worry. Although Prince Jin has always been a carefree person, he is still reasonable. Prince Duan is not a good place to go, one day, he will abandon everything and come out into the light."
Empress Chen nodded in reassurance, "It's better that he understands. It's just that you have to interact more with him, and let him know about your good fortune."
"This son understands."
"And that Xue Ronghua," the Empress Chen sighed, "are you sure you want to go and fight with the Prince Duan?"
"Of course, this benefit cannot be obtained by the Prince Duan."
Empress Chen focused and asked: "After you obtain Xue Ronghua, what rank do you plan to give her?"
"Of course it's my concubine," The Crown Prince smiled lightly, "Although I also value her, in the end, she was still a daughter born out of a concubine, so how could she lose her composure like the Prince Duan?"
Empress Chen nodded in satisfaction, "concubinage can't be an official wife, it's a good thing that you understand."
Xue Ronghua looked out of the window in a daze and joked: "You aren't saying that you look like the Empress Chen for me, right? You are thinking about it carefully, how about it, do you think that you look like them?"
Chu Zongge laughed involuntarily: "You're mentioning this again. If you say it like that, then wouldn't I also resemble the Prince Jin?"
"No," Xue Ronghua shook her head, "Prince Jin looks more similar to Noble Consort Kang."
Chu Zongge had a helpless look on his face, making it hard for her to continue playing jokes on him. " What did Empress Chen say to you? "
"Nothing, it's just the crown prince …"
Xue Ronghua was startled, "What's wrong with the crown prince, your fight is already on the surface?"
"The crown prince, he …" Chu Zongge looked at her deeply, "I'm afraid that the crown prince is interested in you."
"To me?" Xue Ronghua almost laughed out loud, "Do you think a dignified storage master would fall for a concubinage?"
"Didn't I like it?" Chu Zongge said faintly.
"You're not the real Prince Duan," Xue Ronghua said as she secretly laughed, "The one standing behind me is the Empress Chen, if her son is going to marry the concubinage, then wouldn't that mean he's strangling me?"
"If," Chu Zongge said, "he didn't want you to be the Crown Princess, but only wanted you to be his concubine, what would happen to you?"
"Become a concubine?" Xue Ronghua had a disdainful smile on her face as she leisurely said, "Even if I like another man, I still wouldn't be willing to lower myself to the likes of you."
"It's the same for me," Chu Zongge said with a smile. "Even if I'm thousands of times helpless, I wouldn't let the woman I love be my concubine."
"So you don't have to worry about this. If the crown prince is truly interested in me, I will not betray you and fall into his embrace."
Chu Zongge nodded his head in trust, but then he thought of something else, "Do you still remember the story that the Prince Jin told you? Don't you think that the crown prince had feelings for you?
Xue Ronghua paused, "Could it be that he knows that the crown prince would be interested in me? He wants to remind you that it's not about the Mrs. Heyi but that the crown prince would do that to you?"
"That could be the case," Chu Zongge thought again, "How could Prince Jin have predicted this, could it be that he has already experienced this before?"
Xue Ronghua laughed: "You might not have to think of a way to warn you, he knows about it beforehand."
"This Prince Jin is indeed sincere." Chu Zongge pondered.
"Hold him for now," Xue Ronghua said, "Don't let the crown prince find a chance to drag him over."
"Of course."
"Oh right, there's also the matter with the Mrs. Heyi," Xue Ronghua suddenly remembered, "I think the matter regarding the Mrs. Heyi is a very important issue between you and the Crown Prince. You should stay put for now, and throw the matter out when the time is most appropriate."
Chu Zongge hesitated: "After experiencing so much, I think Mrs. Heyi's move is a bit dangerous."
"Don't give up this strange move of yours just because the emperor is locking you in confinement." Xue Ronghua held his hand and said gently, "For the emperor to be angry at this, it means that his infatuation for the Mrs. Heyi is not at all."
Xue Longhu was in the study room flipping through a history book, when a servant suddenly ran in, and said with a trembling voice: "Master … Go and take a look... "Miss, she …"
Xue Longhu raised his head, upset, and asked impatiently: "Xue Liuhua? What about her? "
"Miss fainted."
Xue Longhu thought that Xue Liuhua was just pretending to be pitiful and lied to herself again. He waved his hands and said, "How could she faint that easily?
The servant quickly kneeled on the ground and pleaded, "Master, the eldest miss has really fainted. She is still at home."
Xue Longhu looked at him suspiciously, "Are you trying to fool me?
"The doctor said it was because Miss was so obsessed with blessing that she fainted because of overwork."
Xue Longhu understood that this was Xue Liuhua's stratagem, wanting him to release her from his home. But she was Xue Longhu's only direct daughter after all, and Xue Longhu was unable to display a cold expression on his face.
"Has Madame gone?"
The attendant nodded. "Madam has already arrived. She is crying sorrowfully."
Xue Longhu sighed heavily in his heart. Since his wife was already here, he should give her a way out of this predicament. His son had already passed away, but he and his wife's child was still by his side.
"Alright," Xue Longhu let out a sigh of relief, "Send someone to take the young miss back to her room, and send a few doctors over to take a look. When she wakes up, there will be no need for her to go to the temple."
"Master," the valet said hesitantly, "don't you want to see the young lady?"
Xue Longhu pursed his lips, stayed silent for a while, and then said slowly: "I won't be going, let her rest well."
"But …"
"Don't 'but'," Xue Longhu interrupted him coldly. "I'm not going."
Little Zhui secretly saw a few servants carrying Xue Liuhua who pretended to be unconscious to the East Garden Tower, and immediately went home to report to Miss.
Xue Ronghua lazily leaned on the bedside. After hearing Little Zhui's indignant narration, she asked slowly: "Are you done talking?"
Little Zhui saw that Xue Ronghua did not seem to care, and anxiously said: "Miss, the First Miss is coming out from her home."
Xue Ronghua shrugged helplessly, "I know, didn't she already come out?"
Little Zhui pulled her sleeves, and said tenderly: "Miss, didn't Master say to lock her up until the beginning of spring? Why did she come out before the summer was over? "
Xue Ronghua's lips curved into a disdainful smile, "Xue Liuhua is the old master's only direct daughter, how can the old master do anything to her?"
Little Zhui was a little sad, "Then Miss, our hard work has been wasted?"
"That's not true," Xue Ronghua muttered to herself for a moment. "The old master did not immediately go to see Xue Liuhua, which means that he still harbored a grudge in her heart."
Little Zhui immediately laughed: "Then can we also be considered to have won half the battle?"
Xue Ronghua caressed her head and said: "There's still a long way to go, what we want is to win all of them."
"Then what does Miss intend to do next?"
Xue Ronghua thought for a bit, "No matter how stupid Xue Liuhua is, she would have guessed that I was behind this, so she would probably come with Madam Ye to harm me."
"What do we do now? Such a beautiful fake pregnancy isn't enough to take down our eldest miss. What kind of plan do we have to come up with in the future?"
Xue Ronghua smiled, "Don't be in such a hurry, we will turn around and watch. Let's see what kind of moves will use."
Little Zhui looked at her in admiration, "Miss, if I hadn't grown up together with you, I would have thought that you had fought in the battlefield with your men before."
Xue Ronghua raised her chin proudly, "Your young miss is smart, smart, brave, kind-hearted. Even if she wasn't there, she would still have the air of a general." Besides, she had been there countless times.
Little Zhui covered her mouth and laughed: "Young miss is really … With just a few words of praise, you're already in heaven. "
Xue Liuhua slightly narrowed her eyes on the bed, but she discovered that her mother was the only person in the room, and her father was not there.
"Mother, why hasn't Father come?" Xue Liuhua propped up her upper body as she asked.
Madam Ye let out a faint sigh, "Your father was busy with important matters and did not come over."
Xue Liuhua felt extremely bitter in her heart, "Is father still blaming me? He's still blaming me for pushing the Aunt Min out of his reach and letting his child pass away?"
Madam Ye immediately patted her daughter's back and comforted her: "Master, he told you not to stay at home. You can go back to your own room."
When Xue Liuhua heard that she could leave the temple, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, she was still a little afraid, "Mother, do you think father will still treat me like before?"
"Of course, your father dotes on you the most. Upon hearing the news of you fainting at home, he immediately had the servants send you back to East Garden, afraid that something might happen to you, and immediately let go of the prohibition."
Xue Liuhua nodded her head, but why did she feel that her father did not love her as much as before?
Madam Ye saw the worry in her heart and immediately comforted her: "Your father is very warm-hearted. You have to let him go slowly, at the moment he is still putting on airs and not coming to see you.
"What about that bitch Xue Ronghua then? In the few days that I was gone, did she not want to take the opportunity to cause trouble for her mother?"
The Madam Ye said: "Xue Ronghua hasn't made any movements in the past few days, perhaps she harbored a hidden motive, afraid that we would come knocking on her door."
Xue Liuhua said sinisterly: "That slut, she actually made me stay in the monastery for a month. After I recuperate for a period of time, I will definitely discipline her."
Madam Ye immediately advised: "Don't be impulsive, I have already sent people from Ye Residence to investigate.
Xue Liuhua said anxiously: "That bitch is very cunning, I'm afraid that before I even got the news, she had already killed me." In her excitement, her eyes turned red.
"You should first calm down for a few days. You still have to consider the matter of counterattack."
Xue Liuhua did not care about all that. She wanted Xue Ronghua to die in her hands right now.
Madam Ye continued, "Also, rest for a few days. Go to your father's study room and have a talk with him. Don't be unfamiliar with him."
When Xue Liuhua heard her father's name, the arrogance on her body weakened somewhat. "Alright."
Madam Ye sighed slightly. "The most steady backer the both of us had in the Xue Manor wasn't Ye Residence, but your father. Against Xue Ronghua, his love for you was the most advantageous, but luckily, your father still cared a lot about you."
Xue Liuhua's eyes were moist as she called out hoarsely, "Mother …"
Madam Ye pulled her into her embrace lovingly, "Alright, alright, you are the person I love the most in this world."
