Ever since Xu Ji and Lu Xin sat in the same carriage, Lu Xin felt like an extra-large light bulb and felt very uncomfortable. In addition, Xu Ji deliberately fell on Xuanyuan Rui's body from time to time when the carriage was bustling, and slowly became snuggled in his arms.

Lu Xin saw Xuanyuan Rui's leisurely appearance, and let Xu Ji rub against him, but kept his eyes closed and recuperated, as if nothing had happened. Lu Xin glanced at him, and she couldn't take it anymore, she either closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, or she kept looking out the window at the snowy sky until they reached the town.

After getting off the carriage, Lu Xin saw that there were few people on this street, and there were only passers-by in front of the shops on the street, which was really far from the town they had arrived in before.

Lu Xin couldn't help but ask Uncle De curiously, "Uncle De, why is this place so dilapidated and deserted?"

Uncle De respectfully said to Lu Xin: "Miss Xin'er, you don't know, we have come to the border pass, I heard that there are many villages and towns in the border pass that are often robbed by bandits, everyone is afraid of it, according to the old slave, this town may be sinned, so it will end up like this!"

Lu Xin asked in surprise, "Isn't there anyone who cares about this?"

Uncle De said: "The border pass has always been chaotic, and I heard that General Guo's army was stationed at the border pass a few years ago. One is to guard the border pass, and the other is to suppress bandits, but the border pass is vast, and it is inevitable that everything can be well maintained! ”

After hearing this, Lu Xin said, "I see." She thought that since ancient times, the border land has indeed been chaotic, and most of them belong to the "three regardless" zone, and some bandits have occupied the land here as kings, anyway, the emperor is far away, and the court does not have that gap to manage them.

Although Xuanyuan Rui and the others were already looking for the best and largest inn in the town, it still looked dilapidated and dusty compared to the past.

Xu Ji saw that the table top was full of dust, she carefully wiped the table with a finger, and called the housekeeper with a dissatisfied face and said, "Uncle De, how can you arrange for our Highness to live in such a place?" Isn't there a better inn than this? ”

Xu Ji now has the chips to be arrogant, and her tone of voice is much more arrogant, if it was in the past, how could she dare to accuse the housekeeper Uncle De like this? Even the most favored Liji has to pay three points to Uncle De.

Uncle De knew that Xu Ji was the most important person in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the moment, so he didn't dare to be snub to her, he hurriedly said: "Mrs. Xu, this ........., this is indeed the best." The old slave ........., and the old slave ............. ”

Xuanyuan Rui knew that Xu Ji was embarrassing Uncle De, so he immediately said: "Uncle De, it's okay to arrange the best room for Xu Ji, go and take care of it."

Uncle De knew that His Royal Highness was relieving him from the siege, so he hurriedly responded: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince."

Xu Ji suddenly smiled, and said angrily: "The concubine has thanked His Highness, as long as it is arranged by His Highness, the concubine likes it."

The other concubines standing on the side all saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was protective and pampered on Xu Ji, and they were very jealous, but they were helpless. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has doted on everyone, but only Xu Ji's stomach is angry, and it is not to blame that the prince will indulge her so much.

Lu Xin stood aside, and finally saw what it meant to be in a moment's power. She thought, it seems that Xuanyuan Rui is starting to get busy, and the struggle has just begun. She secretly teased Xuanyuan Rui in her heart, the more he doted on Xu Ji, the more dangerous she would be and make her the target of public criticism. However, that's his family affair, whatever, anyway, after arriving at Yuliguo after leaving the border of the new country, he will part ways with them and go to find his second brother.

When Lu Xin thought that she would soon arrive at Yu Liguo, her mood also jumped.

After nightfall, Liki tosses and turns in bed, unable to rest. Liji thought that Miss Xin'er was her number one rival, but she never thought that Xu Ji was pregnant at this time, and if she didn't eradicate it as soon as possible, she would eventually become her confidant. But right now, you must not do anything to Xu Ji, otherwise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely suspect several of them. Especially Xu Ji has always been aimed at herself, if she bites back, she will definitely let herself die without a place to bury. Liji pondered and pondered like this, and decided to show favor to Xu Ji.

She asked the maid Xiaocui to prepare a box of high-quality pearls and a box of superb bird's nest for her, and then walked to Xu Ji's wing.

When Xu Ji saw Liji, she didn't have to guess what she meant, she was secretly proud in her heart, and then she looked unconcerned.

Xu Ji opened his mouth and said, "Yo, what kind of wind is blowing today!" I'm almost leveling the threshold of my room. ”

Only then did Liji notice that there were already a lot of gifts piled up on the table in the room, presumably from several other concubines. Liji immediately smiled and said, "Sister, sister is here to congratulate my sister."

Xu Ji turned her face to the side arrogantly, and Li Ji immediately took the gift from the maid's hand and handed it to Xu Ji and said, "Sister, this box is a high-quality South China Sea pearl, which was brought to me by my father, and if it is used to concentrate on the fetus, it is definitely a treasure that is difficult to find."

When Xu Ji heard such a good pearl, she was immediately moved. But on the surface, he still said lightly: "How can you give me such a good pearl?"

Listening to Xu Ji's words, Liji knew that she was tempted by the gift. So, he continued to tout and said, "What is my sister talking about? Many of our sisters have to be exposed to the rain and dew of His Royal Highness, but only my sister is pregnant with the emperor's heir, which is still fate in the end, and my sister is a good fate. So, if such a good pearl is not given to my sister, who else can I give it to? If my sister doesn't dislike it, my sister and I can be regarded as doing a little bit for His Royal Highness. ”

Xu Ji listened to these words, not to mention how happy she was, her former hated rival in love, but now she shook her head and tail to herself like a pug, relieving hatred, really relieving hatred!

Xu Ji said nonchalantly: "For the sake of His Royal Highness, then I will accept it!" After finishing speaking, Xu Ji's maidservant took it and put it on the table.

Immediately, Li Ji brought over a box of superb bird's nest and said to Xu Ji: "Sister, my sister also brought a box of superb bird's nest to give to my sister, I hope my sister will accept it with a smile."

Xu Ji was extremely satisfied with Liji's great dedication, and she pretended to be surprised and said, "Yo, my sister really has a heart."

Liji smiled warmly and kindly and said, "As long as my sister likes it."

Xu Ji was very satisfied with Liji's answer, so she also soothed her tone and said to Liji: "I'm not afraid to tell my sister the truth, I did have some grudges against you in the past, and now I am not what I used to be, so I have no intention of competing with you for favor, you don't have to bother me so much."

After hearing this, Liji said with sorrow: "Why should my sister hold a grudge against me? As a woman of Her Highness, who will not be replaced one day? Even if you can stay young forever, you will never be able to maintain a man's liking for the new and hating the old for a woman. If I am as blessed as my sister, then I don't need to worry about it anymore. Sister, I'm just a poor person among many concubines, and I don't deserve my sister's hatred! ”

Xu Ji was also touched when she heard this, if she didn't conceive an heir, she wouldn't be a poor concubine. She replied with emotion: "That's too, everything is fate!"

Liji said again: "His Royal Highness is fascinated by Miss Xin'er, and my sisters will be even more favored by His Highness." Even if my sister has an heir, she is just on an equal footing with her. If he let Miss Xin'er get the grace and rain dew in the future, once she is pregnant with an heir, she may not be able to compete with her sister, and she will rest easy! ”

Liji's words made Xu Ji suddenly wake up like a dream, and suddenly felt like a great enemy. She thought that she had gritted her teeth with hatred when she didn't kill Miss Xin'er before, and now when she heard Liji say that she was not as good as Miss Xin'er, she still intended to belittle herself. She suddenly felt angry in her heart, and then said, "Sister means that I can't catch up with that little slut?"

Liji suddenly pretended to be speechless, and quickly explained: "No, sister, no!"

Then she changed her words and said sharply: "Whether my sister can compare with her depends on who has more in His Highness's heart."

When Xu Ji heard this, she didn't need Li Ji Ming to say it, she also knew that His Royal Highness's heart must be only Miss Xin'er. This is almost a well-known thing, judging from the fact that when she watched His Royal Highness order someone to prepare pastries for Miss Na Xin'er, and then gave her a cloak, apologized to her, and slapped her mouth, Xu Ji knew that if she was not pregnant with an heir, she would not even be as good as an inferior maid.

Li Ji saw that Xu Ji was wandering at this time, and then fanned the wind and said: "Sister, the so-called life-saving benefactor is like regenerating parents, if in the future, when he and Miss Xin'er give birth to an heir, the status of my sister and the future little prince will be in jeopardy." Besides, if His Royal Highness inherits the throne and wants to make her queen, then .......... ”

Xu Ji listened to this, and couldn't help but start worrying, if Miss Na Xin'er was really pregnant with His Royal Highness's heir, wouldn't she be bullied again?

Xu Ji said, "Then what should I do?"

Li Ji knew that her goal had been achieved, so she said to Xu Ji: "While my sister is still the most important person in His Highness's heart, and while Miss Xin'er has not yet become His Royal Highness's person, we will cut the grass and eradicate the roots, the sooner the better, and then you will benefit the most."

Xu Ji listened to Liji's words and felt very reasonable. She knows that in order to survive in the women's pile, she must be able to eradicate the other party quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly. She must prepare for her own children, who will soon become the eldest prince and more likely to become the future crown prince of Yu Liguo. If anyone becomes a stumbling block to his own children, he will not be merciful.
