Chapter 114: Knowing Yourself is the Most Important Thing
Dong Ling took advantage of the victory and did not give Xiao Yanan any time to react, breaking the last obstacle.
At the same time, the severe pain made her want to escape.
Xiao Yan'an suddenly grabbed her wrist and stood up.
"You got into trouble, and you still want to escape?"
Dong Ling bit her lip, tears in her eyes. The look of wanting to refuse but holding back made Xiao Yan'an suddenly interested. Her eyes were like those of a deer in the woods, even more touching than those of Xu Yan'er.
The burning heat that was making him uncomfortable was now out of control!
……
Xu Yan'er sent Ping'er to inquire about the situation in Dongling Courtyard.
Ping'er walked up to her with her head down.
"How is it? Is there any news from over there?" There was still a glimmer of hope in Xu Yan'er's heart.
She couldn't believe that the prince's promises and love for him would be so fragile!
"Auntie, actually, this is normal. You should be more open-minded. Every man has three wives and four concubines. Dong Ling is already the prince's concubine. It is only a matter of time before she is favored by the emperor."
"What did you say?" Xu Yan'er's voice was trembling. "Tell me, is the prince favoring Dong Ling? Is he?"
Ping'er nodded heavily, "Yes, Auntie, I've called for water twice. Now, the lights are still on in Auntie Dong's yard."
Xu Yan'er was struck by lightning, "Xiao Yan'an! How could you do this to me!"
Suddenly, she felt dizzy and as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy and passed out.
However, she soon came to her senses. Seeing Ping'er's panic, she did not wake up and continued to pretend to be unconscious.
If the prince knew that she had fainted from anger, he would come back from Dong Ling and be with her.
Her fainting did not alarm the prince, but did attract Ji Chuhe.
After the court doctor treated Xu Yan'er, he reported to Ji Chuhe who was sitting outside.
"Madam, Aunt Xu was just too anxious. I gave her a few injections and prescribed some medicine and she will be fine."
"Yeah." Ji Chuhe nodded.
The court doctor went to write a prescription, and Ji Chuhe went to the inner room.
She saw Xu Yan'er's hands clenched into fists.
"woke up?"
Xu Yan'er couldn't pretend anymore, so she opened her eyes and propped herself up to sit up.
"Ji Chuhe, you are really good at this!"
"Mrs. Xu, can you please tell me in detail what good tricks I have? I would like to hear them in detail."
Mianzhu pulled a chair behind Ji Chuhe and helped Ji Chuhe sit down.
Xu Yan'er was so angry that her whole body was shaking, "You asked Dong Ling to seduce the prince just to share my favor! You were nice to Dong Ling just to suppress me!"
"Mrs. Xu, have you ever heard that anything that can be taken away is not yours? No one forced the prince to go to Dong Ling's courtyard, and no one forced him to favor Dong Ling."
Xu Yan'er couldn't listen to any of this. "You guys are the ones who set this up together! The prince loves me! He can't possibly go back on his promise to me."
Ji Chuhe said calmly: "I believe that the prince was sincere when he made a promise to you, but sincerity is not permanent, and the validity period is shorter than I thought. Aunt Xu, I came here today to tell you that in my backyard, concubines can compete for favor, but it depends on their own abilities!"
"If you have the ability, let the prince come to your place for a few more nights. If you don't have the ability, just stay alone in the empty room. I will never allow concubines to use vicious means to harm each other for favor! You can't use means to snatch someone when the prince favors someone else! You can't do this, and Dong Ling can't do it either!"
"Ji Chuhe, don't be too proud! Don't think that just because Dong Ling succeeded today, she can take my love away from the prince. Don't even think about it! The prince has me in his heart! Only me!"
Ji Chuhe shook his head helplessly.
Her words were just to the point.
As for whether Xu Yan'er would listen or not, that was Xu Yan'er's own business.
From now on, if you fall into her hands, she will never let you off easily!
Ji Chuhe returned to Liuhua Palace, and Mianzhu waited on her again to let her rest.
"Mianzhu, ask the nanny to pick some rewards for Dong Ling tomorrow. She has worked so hard." Ji Chuhe couldn't imagine how hard Dong Ling had worked tonight!
"Yes, Miss, you should take a rest. Let me and Mammy take care of these trivial matters."
The news that Xiao Yan'an favored Dong Ling spread throughout the mansion.
A few days ago, there was a heated discussion about how favored and enviable Xu Yan'er was, but reality slapped her in the face.
Several maids and servants were gathered together chatting. When they saw the servants from Concubine Gao's palace passing by, they immediately swarmed over them.
"What are you doing? Instead of working, you are chatting here. If your master finds out, you will be punished!"
"We are not on duty now. Weren't you very enthusiastic when you saw us a few days ago? Why are you acting like this again today?"
"Yes, a few days ago, she argued with me until her face turned red! Last night, Aunt Dong was favored! This shows that an aunt is just an aunt, just a toy to amuse people. The prince and the prince can have many aunts, but there is only one principal wife!"
"That's right! I don't know if you have shit in your head, but you envy a concubine and even shamelessly pity the lady. You are unworthy!"
"Why are they unworthy? If they can become concubines, it would be a dream come true, right?"
"Yes, yes."
The people in Concubine Gao's palace did not refute. After being ridiculed, they left in disgrace.
When Concubine Gao woke up in the morning and heard the news, she almost vomited to death!
"That's all Xu Yan'er is capable of!"
"Concubine, this Xu Yan'er is too stupid. She is no match for the Crown Prince's wife!"
"It doesn't matter. Stupidity has its uses." Concubine Gao sneered.
……
Xiao Yan'an felt ashamed at first, but after waking up, he saw Dong Ling leaning against him, looking extremely tired, and a trace of pity welled up in his heart.
He reached out and stroked Dong Ling's cheek.
Suddenly, he remembered that day when he touched Ji Chuhe in the same way, and Ji Chuhe was like a cat with its fur standing on end.
Her reaction hurt him.
Dong Ling pushed Xiao Yan'an's hand away, turned over and continued to sleep.
I did the work of a cow last night and was really tired.
Later, Xiao Yan'an let her be on top, which was quite fresh and exciting.
Xiao Yanan gradually advanced from an ignorant and reckless novice in this matter.
Dong Ling turned around, and Xiao Yan'an saw a patch of red on the bed sheet under them, and his eyes dimmed.
This touch of crimson formed a sharp contrast with the white beneath Xu Yan'er's body.
Dong Ling was born a family slave. She was first Xiao Yan'an's personal maid, and later she was promoted to concubine and favored by Xiao Yan'an. Unlike Xu Yan'er, who was brought in from outside, there were not so many rules for her.
Xiao Yan'an stood up without waking Dong Ling.
The clothes Dong Ling made for him were hanging on the rack, and he picked them up and put them on himself.
The feeling of being remembered and loved is always wonderful.
Xiao Yan'an was in a good mood. After leaving, he went directly to the government office.
Dong Ling slept until dawn before waking up, and a nanny also came to check the room symbolically.
"Auntie Dong, congratulations, you are finally favored. The prince even reminded us not to wake you up and let you sleep a little longer."
Dong Ling looked at the bloodstains on the bed and felt indescribable.
This is what she has always dreamed of.
Finally got what I wanted.
However, it seems that it is not as happy as imagined.
