After Zhao Xiqing left, Du Yao instructed Su Jin to prepare a table to eat, she was waiting for Wu Epidemic to return home, and she wanted to have a good talk with Wu Epidemic.

The courtyards of the Prince's Mansion are known for their hierarchical division, with the main room being far away from the courtyards of the side rooms.

Zhao Xiqing's courtyard is a relatively good courtyard in the prince's mansion, but it's a pity that Du Yao's courtyard is slightly better.

"Mother, are you alright?"

The maid who accompanied her noticed that Zhao Xiqing's face had not been better since she came out of Du Yao, and she would inevitably worry about her master, if the master had the courage, she would definitely send it to these minions.

"Ruyue, you send someone to the palace to check what happened to Concubine Zheng last night."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, the maid named Ruyue did not dare to be sloppy, and immediately sent someone to do it. Although the person was sent out, Ruyue's heart was bottomless, she was very worried that this matter would be exposed, once the matter was revealed, her master was only afraid that she would be implicated, she didn't think that the third princess of the Qiyan country was a foolish master.

Noticing that Ruyue's expression was a little strange, Zhao Xiqing knew what this little girl was thinking when she thought about it.

To be honest, she is not worried, but now she has no way out, if she wants to gain a firm foothold in this huge prince's mansion, she must either be favored by His Royal Highness, or loved by everyone in the mansion.

Now she can only work in the second direction, she knows very well that Wu Epidemic is just playing tricks on the spot, and she is more used to deal with the urging of the palace.

When Du Yao had not yet married into the prince's mansion, Wei Zong would always urge Wu Plague to marry a concubine as soon as possible, and Wu Plague was respectful to her on the surface, but in fact, she knew very well what kind of role she played in this scene.

Now Du Yao is the rightful hostess of the prince's mansion, Du Yao's status is not something she can shake, and she has no such plans, she just wants to continue to take care of the affairs of the prince's mansion and continue her previous majesty.

Du Yao is her biggest enemy, and she will never give Du Yao a chance! Absolutely not!

"When will Your Highness come back?"

"The slave asked the housekeeper, and the housekeeper said that His Highness would have to wait a while before he could return home. Just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that Concubine Zheng has sent someone to pass down the message, saying that she is waiting for His Highness to return to the house for dinner."

Listening to Ruyue's words, Zhao Xiqing's face was as calm as ashes, and looking at Zhao Xiqing's appearance, Ruyue's heart also became afraid.

Her master hasn't been like this for a long time, she doesn't know what will happen next, she is more of an endless fear of this, she doesn't want to be cannon fodder, and she doesn't want to carry the black pot.

"This palace knows, since the concubine wants to invite His Royal Highness, it is not good for this palace to seize the opportunity."

Thinking of Du Yao's face, Zhao Xiqing's heart was not happy, everything that could have been easily obtained was lost like this, how could this not be a blow to her?

Now, there is no room for things to turn around, Zhao Xiqing knows her skills very well, but she will definitely not give up easily.

After Wu Bao returned home, he learned that Du Yao had prepared food, so he hurried to Du Yao, and in his subconscious, he felt that Du Yao must have something to say to him.

As soon as he entered Du Yao's courtyard, Wu Bao was attracted by the fragrance of tea in the house, strode into the house, saw the sumptuous food on the table, and saw the beautiful person in front of the table, Wu Bao's mood suddenly became relaxed.

"Your Highness."

gave a regular salute to Wu Plague, Du Yao poured wine for Wu Plague with a smile, and watched Du Yao's neat landing technique, Wu Plague couldn't help but ask.

"Are you feeling better?"

"It's okay, don't worry."

Du Yao's words sounded very bland, but Wu Bao knew that her body would definitely not be so good. That look last night made him tremble, wouldn't it be unreasonable if he got better too quickly today?

"It's okay if you're okay, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have already said hello, those old people won't bother you for the time being, and I won't either, you can live and recuperate here."

Wu Yao's words are very clear, he doesn't need Du Yao to worry about the pressure exerted by Li Qinhan, nor does he need to worry about the problem of the bed, he will not take advantage of the danger at this time.

understood the meaning of Wu Bao's words, and Du Yao didn't mean to go around in circles with him. Bringing a bowl of soup to him, he said casually:

"In the morning, the concubine also mentioned to me about the white cloth......

"You don't have to pay attention to that woman."

As soon as Du Yao heard Zhao Xiqing mention Wu Bao's face, his face was not very good, and the chopsticks that had just moved suddenly stopped.

Noticing Wu Bao's expression, Du Yao said:

"I've never taken her seriously, you know, she can't fight me when it comes to scheming."

After listening to Du Yao's words, Wu Yao was startled at first, and then regained his composure, he never thought that Du Yao would have no taboos in front of him.

"It seems that the third princess of Qi Yan Kingdom is really bold, aren't you afraid that I will fall to you because of this?"

"It's not the third princess of the Qi Yan Kingdom who is bold, but the main concubine of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Yi Owl Kingdom."

In the face of Wu Bao's joking questioning, Du Yao's clever answer satisfied Wu Bao.

"I drink this soup very well, you can taste it."

Seeing that Wu Fang was not angry with Du Yao, Su Jin on the side was also relieved, she knew very well about her princess's temperament that did not bow her head easily, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intended to blame, I was afraid that no one would be able to protect the princess.

"I boiled this soup, if Your Highness likes to drink it, I will boil more tomorrow."

Taking the soup served by Wu Bao, Du Yao took a few sips.

"Okay."

After sending Wu Epidemic away, Su Jin instructed the maid to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Du Yao changed into comfortable clothes under Su Jin's service, and lay on the soft step to close her eyes and recuperate.

"Princess, Your Highness went straight to the side concubine after going out of our place."

Hearing the maid's report, Du Yao's originally stretched eyebrows tightened suddenly, and then returned to normal.

"Got it, let's go down."

"Yes."

The maid hurriedly retreated, and Su Jin on the side was the first to say:

"It seems that His Highness is going to Xingshi to ask for guilt."

"Su Jin, how do you know that His Royal Highness is going to Xingshi to ask for sin? This Zhao Xiqing is the side concubine of the Prince's Mansion no matter what, and she has served by His Royal Highness's side for many years, and His Royal Highness will miss the old feelings to some extent. ”

"Then, according to the princess's words, wouldn't the preparations made by the princess today be in vain."

"The palace didn't do anything in the first place, just had a meal with His Highness. What this palace said, His Highness only heard it, why are you so serious? ”

"The princess doesn't feel wronged?"

Today, Zhao Xiqing came to Du Yao's dismount, which made Su Jin unhappy, Su Jin thought that Du Yao would fight back, but she didn't expect Du Yao to still have no intention of suppressing Zhao Xiqing, Du Yao made her more and more unable to see through.

"Zhao Xiqing is just telling the truth, kindly reminding the palace, the palace can't use this reason to let His Royal Highness punish her? No matter how this palace is said, she is the princess of Qi Yan Country, if she really cares so much, wouldn't it be a shame for Qi Yan Country? Su Jin, this palace knows that you are not used to Zhao Xiqing's style of acting, but no matter how bad she is, she is also a woman in the prince's mansion, and she is a concubine who is only one level lower than this palace. ”

"Princess, the slave and maid understand."

"Hmm."

"Princess, according to the etiquette system, tomorrow is the day when the princess enters the palace to ask for peace, the queen mother has sent someone to prepare a banquet, and the ladies of the capital will be present, and the queen mother tells the princess to prepare for a good life."

"When did this happen?"

"The will that came from the palace this afternoon."

"Since the queen mother is so carefully prepared, how can this palace spoil her interest?"

With that, a casual smile appeared on Du Yao's face.

Li Qinhan deliberately prepared a banquet on the day she entered the palace to ask for peace, you can imagine how much Li Qinhan wants to do in this banquet, although she doesn't know what Li Qinhan's heart is thinking, but she knows very well that this is mostly Wu Zhen's meaning, and Wu Zhen's instructions will come soon.

It was late at night, and the candles gradually dimmed everywhere in the prince's mansion, and only the courtyard of the side concubine was brightly lit.

Inside the house, Zhao Xiqing was wearing a light green dress, her black hair was scattered to her waist, and she was not half groomed.

The layers of curtains in front of the bed have been closed, and Wu Bao has bathed and gone to the inner room under the service of the maid.

Seeing that Wu Epidemic had been washed, Zhao Xiqing instructed the maid to leave and change Wu Bao's clothes by herself.

"Your way of serving hasn't changed at all."

Although Zhao Xiqing's temperament is not very good on weekdays, her ability to serve Wu Epidemic is first-class, and Wu Epidemic also likes to come to her, just because she is more convenient than others.

Hearing Wu Bao's praise, Zhao Xiqing's cheeks turned red.

"Your Highness hasn't praised your concubines for a long time, and your concubines are terrified."

"You are the most caring, don't be presumptuous."

Wu Xi said as he stroked Zhao Xiqing's cheek with his hand, and Zhao Xiqing lowered her head shyly.

"Your Highness."

Wu Plague has not come to her for more than a month, for her, Wu Plague's grace is the only guarantee to maintain her status in the palace, she can't do anything else, but in the matter of serving Wu Plague, she thinks that no one can compare with her.

Noticing that Zhao Xiqing's expression changed slightly, Wu Qi was not in a hurry to get close to her, but chatted with her.

"Xiqing, did you go to the crown princess today?"

"Your Highness, you know everything?"

As soon as Wu Epidemic mentioned this topic, Zhao Xiqing guessed that Wu Epidemic came to see her today, because she had a side meaning.

"The crown princess is arrogant, it is inevitable to be decisive in case of trouble on weekdays, you have a long time in the house, and you can let her do some on weekdays. She's just as much a woman as you are that Prince Ben doesn't want to hurt, you know? ”

has shared the bed for many years, and it is said that it is ruthless, and a few people will believe that it is true that Wu Epidemic does not want to hurt Zhao Xiqing, and it is also true that he does not want Zhao Xiqing to hurt Du Yao.

He will treat Zhao Xiqing as much as possible, but he will never allow Zhao Xiqing to do things that are unfavorable to Du Yao.

That's what men are, dividing everything so clearly.
