"However, the result is obviously very good; my beauty is still unmarried."
He was indeed somewhat surprised when he heard the news brought back by An Er.
After all, he had no good feelings towards the Prime Minister's mansion. He looked down on a man who favored his concubine and suppressed his wife.
If that old man hadn't been his emperor brother's man, he would have killed him long ago.
Although he has no interest in that position, he still needs to be able to protect himself.
"Your Highness is very much to my liking." Xunmi chuckled softly, her eyes crinkling, so beautiful.
"Want to hear my story?" She took a sip of the tea in her cup, and although it was bitter, she tasted a sweet flavor.
Zongzheng Mufeng rested his hands on the table, exuding a lazy and leisurely air: "I couldn't ask for more."
Xunmi glanced at the man sideways before slowly speaking.
"I am Wenren Xunmi, the second young lady of the Prime Minister's family, and also the ugly legitimate daughter who is rumored to be nothing but a hollow shell."
"I don't remember when things started to turn out this way."
"My father no longer doted on me, nor did he pay attention to my younger brother. He even made my mother hand over the management of the backyard of the Prime Minister's residence."
"I have never left the Prime Minister's residence. If it weren't for the maids and servants constantly talking about things outside, I wouldn't have known that I had become such a despicable person."
His gaze was distant, as if he were recalling something.
"Last year, my father came to my yard, and I thought he had finally remembered me."
"But little did I know that my father had come to tell me about my marriage to the Crown Prince. I knew that this was a responsibility that I, as the daughter of the Prime Minister's family, had to bear."
"I agreed, but what I didn't expect was that it was all a conspiracy to humiliate me and destroy me."
"From that day on, I could hear the sounds outside that I had stolen my older sister's lover away."
"You even said I was jealous of my elder sister's talent and beauty, ha..." He sneered twice, hiding the disdain on his face.
"I can't understand why they would come to my door to ask for my hand in marriage if they were already in love."
"Later I understood that power is really tempting. As the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family, I naturally have a noble status."
"Even though my reputation is ruined now, I am still more noble than a child born to a concubine."
"And the Emperor would certainly not agree to the Crown Prince marrying someone who is not good enough for him, so that's how I, the unlucky one, came to be."
"I also admire my eldest sister and the Crown Prince, who openly come and go in the Prime Minister's residence."
"Heh... I don't know if those people are blind or brain-dead, they actually think that what the two of them did was normal."
"What about the Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Virtues, virtue, and chastity? It's ridiculous that they're criticizing me instead."
"Over the past two years, I've become numb, but I never imagined that they would plot to drive my mother to her death the moment I stepped out the door."
"There's no other way. I can only save myself. My eldest sister has always wanted to marry the Crown Prince and also wants to get the Phoenix Pearl that I have."
"I have no choice but to grant their wish." She lowered her eyelashes, concealing the pain and glimmer of light within.
The baby just told her that Xiao Jing is here, and her dear husband hasn't found out yet.
Such a good opportunity, of course I have to take advantage of it and divert my dear husband's attention.
She also wanted to let Xiao Jing hear her story so that his values could be corrected.
Zongzheng Mufeng tenderly pulled the person into his arms, his eyes filled with darkness, and his smile chilling.
The people hiding in the shadows, including An Yi and An Er, felt they had never seen anything like it before.
This eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion is quite cunning; first, she ruined the reputation of the legitimate daughter.
Then get rid of her, and kill her mother, so that as the eldest daughter, her mother can become the official wife.
Tsk tsk tsk, women really are all venomous snakes, you must stay away from them.
"My beauty, don't be sad. I will avenge you."
He gently patted Xunmi's back, coaxing him, "If you bully someone, you have to pay back a hundredfold or a thousandfold."
Xunmi looked up, her eyes still glistening with tears: "Does Your Highness believe me? Aren't you afraid I'm just making this up to deceive you?"
"A beautiful woman's eyes are the most beautiful in the world; they can bewitch everyone."
Stroking those silky smooth hairs, I felt a sense of contentment.
Xiao Jing, who was squatting on the roof, nodded silently. He would never forget those clear eyes.
He originally wanted to thank his benefactor, but before he could even leave the alley, he saw his benefactor being carried away by a man.
I followed them secretly, never expecting to overhear such secrets.
He probably wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't met the person involved in the rumors that were so negative.
After all, the entire capital knew that the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family was exceptionally talented, incomparably beautiful, and kind-hearted.
He would naturally lean towards the young lady, but now he felt that she was really cunning.
Her benefactor's beauty was probably unmatched by either of the two young ladies, not to mention the refined aura she exuded.
They are one in a million, unmatched by anyone, so why be jealous of someone inferior to yourself?
It is clear at a glance who is right and who is wrong.
That woman actually hurt his benefactor like that; he must do something for him.
It's best for our benefactor to stay by this prince's side now. Prince Anguo, as the owner of the First Pavilion, knows this very well.
For him, wanting the throne is no big deal; he can also protect his benefactor well, even when facing the crown prince.
He took a deep look at the figure that had captured his heart, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.
When asked about the man's words, Xunmi simply chuckled and nestled in his arms.
"It feels good to have someone believe me, Your Highness. Can I trust you?"
The answer is yes, she knows it herself, she just wants to ask.
He tightened his grip on his waist, his voice domineering and awe-inspiring: "Yes, in this world, you can only trust me."
He lowered his head and approached her fair ear, gently rubbing it: "My beauty, I told you, once you enter my palace, you are mine."
Open your mouth and hold it in, gently licking it until the delicious flavor is stained crimson before letting go.
"My beauty, I will accompany you back tomorrow and visit your mother while we're at it."
As for my father-in-law, that old man, what right does he have to be qualified?
He'll hold someone accountable for treating his beauty this way.
Xunmi reached out and patted the man's head, then propped herself up from his embrace.
"Your Highness, would you mind playing a part with me?"
She's laid all the groundwork; how could she let it go to waste?
He took the small hand in front of him and kissed it: "Whatever my beauty says goes."
"It's getting late, my beauty, let's go have dinner."
He picked up Xunmi and strode toward the front hall, not caring how many servants he startled along the way.
It was already quite surprising to see their prince carrying a woman wearing a veil back.
Seeing this scene again that evening, everyone still found it hard to adjust.
However, upon glancing at the face of the person in his arms, he gasped in surprise: What a beautiful person, is she a fairy?
After discussing the arrangements for the next morning with her husband, she went back to her room to rest and recharge.
