"Hiss... Sister Zheng's hair and face look really good today. Did she wear it on the day when the prince chose his concubine?"
"Sister Zheng is seventeen years old this year, and His Highness the Crown Prince is nineteen. You and His Highness are quite suitable in age, but doesn't His Highness not like you? What's the use of being compatible? This is to choose a wife, not to marry. It doesn’t matter whether you match the lock or not. What matters is whether you like it or not. Sister Zheng, tell me, am I right?”
"you……"
"Sister Zheng, does she know what His Highness wants?"
Meng Yixuan's eyes were burning, and when she mentioned the prince, a strange light flashed in her eyes: "What His Highness wants is someone who can treat him sincerely. So if he is willing to choose me as the crown prince, he naturally sees that I have never Coveting the position of Crown Princess, all I want is Your Highness."
In other words, the prince has long seen clearly that Zheng Keren only wanted to be rich and prosperous and become the crown prince when he ran for the crown prince.
If today's prince was just the son of an ordinary family, Meng Yixuan liked him and would marry him without hesitation, no matter whether he was powerful or wealthy, she would marry him.
It was different for noble ladies like Zheng Keren. They wouldn't even give him an extra look.
I didn't understand anything else, but everyone understood Meng Yixuan's sarcasm about Zheng Keren wanting to be the crown princess.
There is a reasonable doubt that Zheng Keren is acting strangely here because he was not chosen.
"You and I……"
Zheng Keren couldn't admit it because she knew since she was a child that the prince liked Meng Yixuan, so he was jealous of her and targeted her, right?
Wouldn’t that make Meng Yixuan even more proud?
She originally thought that even if the Meng family rose to prominence and became a first-class official family, after all, Meng Yixuan had a mother who was not worthy of honor, and her status was not worthy of His Highness the Crown Prince.
It would not be shameful to lose to the legitimate daughter of a top family like Yan Qingqing, she would be convinced by the loss, but she could not swallow her breath when losing to Meng Yixuan.
How could His Royal Highness do this?
"Forget it, today is Keren's birthday. Let's not quarrel when we sisters are together. Let's go to the front yard to enjoy the singing and dancing!"
Jing Shuyi is the legitimate daughter of the third family member of the Jing family. She is about the same age as the third princess, but she is her cousin.
With such a senior person already acting as a peacemaker, it’s really hard to get entangled any further.
Meng Yixuan smiled disdainfully at Zheng Keren, turned around and walked towards the third princess and Yan Qingqing.
Yan gave a thumbs up: "Xuanxuan, you can do it! You finally showed off Auntie Magpie's courage. I think that Zheng Keren just needs to be dealt with."
The third princess smiled slightly: "Sister Qingqing is right, Xuanxuan, you should have fought back like today, but don't worry, the prince brother knows that she is always targeting you and will never let her enter the East Palace."
In addition to selecting the crown prince, the prince and the Queen of Heaven will also arrange several concubines and concubines for him.
However, the emperor and empress have always had a free and casual attitude towards their children's marriage. As long as their children do not find anyone who commits adultery or has low moral character, they are supportive of it.
They would not interfere in such a trivial matter as taking a concubine.
Therefore, not only could Zheng Keren not be the crown prince, she could not even choose the crown prince's concubine.
Because Shen Mingye would not allow someone who bullied his crown princess to appear in the East Palace.
Five days have passed, and Yan Jinhua still doesn't understand where she went wrong.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rescued her that day and was obviously interested in her. Why hasn't the Crown Prince transferred her to the East Palace after so many days?
He beat the goddaughter of the Chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that day. She had been bullied by them a few days ago and was bruised all over her body.
They eat the least amount of food but have to do the heaviest physical work. She goes to bed the latest, but has to get up the earliest to finish her work. There are always a lot of things waiting for her to do.
Manager Zhang is old, suffering from ailments, and will soon die. Sooner or later, the position of general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will belong to the deputy general manager. The trend here has long since changed, and no one dares to help Yan Jinhua.
The silent night was like a big net, overwhelmingly covering the large palace of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, making people feel a sense of helplessness from the inside out.
It seems that no matter how hard I try, I can't escape from this city, it's so suffocating and hopeless.
"Click!"
There were sneaky footsteps, followed by the sound of the door latch being pried open: "Are you sure nothing will happen to me if I do this?"
The woman glared at the guard: "What can be the problem? That old man Zhang took good care of her back then. He was afraid that I would bully her, so he specially arranged for her to occupy a room by herself. Humph! This is good, isn't it convenient for us today? ?"
"Don't worry. She is the daughter of a criminal. She has no relatives around her for a long time. Even if she is defiled by you, there will never be anyone to seek justice for her. Didn't you say that you have been coveting Yan Jinhua's beauty for a long time? This How can you get her if you don't have any courage?"
The guard then gritted his teeth and pushed the door ruthlessly in.
A pair of bright black eyes were exposed on the roof of the House of Internal Affairs. After the sneaky guard entered, the guard in blue who was hiding on the roof quickly ran towards the East Palace.
East Palace——
The silver fishing line swayed gently in the water, and Shen Mingye, who was wearing the West Claw Golden Dragon Prince's uniform, raised the corners of his mouth with a smile of satisfaction.
The fish bit the hook.
The fishing rod was pulled back, and a koi carp with flashing golden scales was dragged ashore.
Xiao Yuezi and several palace maids applauded. His Highness the Crown Prince is really powerful. He can catch fish with a fishhook.
Could this be "Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who wish will take the bait?"
The blue figure landed on the roof of the East Palace. Several secret guards were instantly alert, but when they saw the face of the visitor clearly, they all relaxed again.
The guard in blue landed silently, but when he was about to approach Shen Mingye, a plump koi fish hit him in his arms.
He hurriedly caught the lively koi carp and put it back into the man-made rockery pond: "Your Highness, Yan Jinhua... Yan Jinhua is in danger..."
Shen Mingye stood up and put away the fishing rod: "Then let's go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
He was not in a hurry, because it was the palace maid who plotted against him first. If she didn't even have the ability to protect herself and was just a good-looking idiot, it wouldn't be worth his trouble.
"Clang!"
"Uh... uh uh..."
A feeling of suffocation and inability to breathe came, and Yan Jinhua opened her frightened eyes.
A strange man was covering her mouth and tearing off her clothes: "Little beauty, I have liked you for a long time. Just obey me! I will be very gentle."
"Let... uh uh... save... uh uh..."
The man stuffed a sweat towel into her mouth, clasped Yan Jinhua's hands above her head with one hand, and unbuttoned her neck with the other hand.
Yan Jinhua struggled violently, but the guard was very strong. She, a weak woman, was no match at all.
