The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Chapter 290: Just a Concubine

Because the Fifth Prince was recuperating from his injuries, Xiaoyanzi was confined to the house, and the Fifth Prince's mansion was quiet for a long time.

Xinrong drinks tea and illustrates illustrations every day. When she has nothing to do, she plays the piano and reads books. When she has nothing to do, she goes home to eat and chat with her mother. Her life is quite comfortable.

That day, Xinrong asked Jingyan and Qing'er to go shopping.

"Xinrong, we were worried about you when we got married, but now it seems like you're doing pretty well lately."

Hearing this, Xinrong smiled and said, "Yes, although there were some troubles when we first got married, fortunately I didn't have to deal with them. Now I feel relieved."

This is the advantage of having a small house. Xinrong said that he was in charge of the household expenses, but the Fifth Prince didn't have any money to manage, let alone any business. It was really boring to rely on that little salary every day.

Seeing that Xinrong was living a happy life, they were also happy for Xinrong.

"Xinrong, do you still remember the brother and sister who were beaten when Xiaoyanzi and the Fifth Prince were punished that day?"

Xinrong had an impression of them, and she had a good impression of anyone who didn't get along with Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi.

"Their shop has reopened. A few days ago, they sent me an invitation inviting us to try it when we're free. Why not wait for a better day?"

"Okay, let's go to the theater after dinner. It's boring for me to watch it alone."

The Huibin Building does look much better after the renovation, and the plaque has also been replaced with a more upscale one, which really looks very presentable.

The two siblings are usually very hospitable, so they have accumulated a lot of old customers. Now that the business has reopened, they naturally want to come and support it.

When they arrived, there were already quite a few customers in the store.

Liu Qing was the first to discover Jing Yan and the other two.

He was a little surprised. After all, when he first sent the invitation to Prince Guo's mansion, he and Liu Hong struggled for most of the night, but they still managed to send it.

The two of them thought that the post might not even reach the princess, but then the princess came today!

But before Liu Qing could get excited, he turned around and saw the Fifth Lady behind the princess.

Liu Qing's heart skipped a beat again. He stepped forward cautiously, "Princess."

Jingyan smiled brightly: "Your store is nice, much better looking than the last time I came here."

Liu Qing scratched his head and said, "As long as Princess likes it, I will take you to the private room."

The decoration of the private room is more exquisite than that of the hall, and the tables and chairs are all made of high-quality wood, which shows that a lot of thought has been put into it.

Even the shelves have been decorated with a lot of beautiful ornaments. Although they are not expensive, they are novel.

Xinrong took a look around and sighed, "It's a very elegant place. I didn't realize Xiaoyanzi's friends were so creative."

There is ambiguity in this statement. Why can't Xiaoyanzi's friends be elegant and clever?

The two looked at each other and didn't respond.

Qing'er changed the subject, "The food here is also good, you can try it later."

Xinrong nodded and waited for the food to be served.

After having lunch together at Huibin Building, the three of them went to see a play. After the play, they were still not satisfied, so they went shopping.

Xinrong warmly invited Jingyan and Qing'er to her home and have dinner together.

Xinrong now really hopes that Qing'er and Jingyan can see how comfortable she is living at home.

You can't just say it with your mouth, you have to let them see it.

She is in charge of all matters big and small in the family. She is not a poor person who married poorly.

Unable to refuse Xinrong's kindness, Jingyan and Qing'er had no choice but to agree to go back with her and sit for a while.

Passing by a jewelry store, Xinrong also bought a few jade hairpins for Cailian.

After all, Cai Lian and the Fifth Prince are now in the critical stage of developing their relationship, and Xinrong is very much looking forward to Cai Lian occupying a place in the Fifth Prince's heart.

But what she didn't expect was that Cai Lian had already successfully seized the opportunity and melted Yongqi's heart without her assistance at all.

Perhaps Cailian was indeed caring, or perhaps Yongqi finally remembered his mother's instructions when he had some free time.

Xinrong had just returned home with the two of them when the servant came to report that the Fifth Prince wanted to see them.

Xinrong frowned slightly, but thinking that the Fifth Prince wouldn't dare to be too rude to her now, she simply smiled and said, "I don't know what the Fifth Prince wants to do. It's just the right time for me to take the hairpin I brought for Cailian. Sisters, why don't you come with me to take a look?"

Jingyan and Qing'er looked at each other. If this happened in someone else's house, they would never speak so presumptuously. They were guests and should not interfere too much in family affairs.

"Xinrong, if the Fifth Prince has something private to tell you, let's wait here."

Unexpectedly, Xinrong waved his hand nonchalantly, "The Fifth Prince and I don't have any personal matters to discuss. We are all on official business. Let's go."

At that time, Xinrong didn't know that the Fifth Prince wanted to talk to her about taking Cailian as his concubine.

The Fifth Prince did not expect that Xinrong would actually bring Jingyan and Qing'er home, but the Fifth Prince was not the kind of person who would give Xinrong face, so he directly stated his purpose.

"Xinrong, it's like this. You know Cailian, she's a good girl, and she's the one my mother chose for me a long time ago. I see that there's nothing much going on in our house right now, so why don't you try to give her a proper status?"

When Xinrong heard this, her first reaction was shock, her second reaction was regret that she shouldn't have brought Jingyan and Qing'er back directly, and her third reaction was happiness that Cailian was more capable than she expected.

A variety of emotions intertwined, Xinrong smiled brightly: "How could it be a coincidence? I was just looking for an opportunity to tell you about this. Cailian is a good girl, and it is what she deserves. I wonder what position the Fifth Prince wants to give her?"

When it came to the position, the Fifth Prince did not hesitate at all. After all, the position was not important to him. "I have discussed it with my mother before, and we will just be the concubine."

Hearing this, not only Xinrong, but also Cailian and Jingyan Xinrong who was watching the show outside were shocked. Does the Fifth Prince favor Cailian so much?

In this way, wouldn't Cai Lian be stepping on Xiaoyanzi?

Fifth Prince wouldn’t understand, right?

The fact is, the Fifth Prince didn't really think so much. It should be said that the Fifth Prince didn't care at all. After all, in his eyes, Xiaoyanzi was the greatest, and status was not important at all. Besides, how could his love for Xiaoyanzi be measured by status?

As for Cai Lian, she is just a dodder who can only rely on him. What's wrong with him taking care of her a little?

After all, Cai Lian has always been taking care of him. How could the Fifth Prince let such a kind person be a maid for the rest of her life?

Xinrong quickly realized what was happening and said with a smile, "That's great! It just so happens that while we were shopping today, I picked out a few jade hairpins that are perfect for you. I'll give them to you as a gift for my sister."

Cai Lian was a little flattered, but to be honest, she was still a little nervous. After all, she was the one who wanted to curry favor with the mistress. What if the mistress thought she was scheming?

After taking the jade hairpin handed over by the maid, Cai Lian was completely relieved, because this gift was very suitable for her style, which meant that Xinrong was really going to give it to her.

"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness."

Xinrong smiled and helped Cailian up, "But this matter still needs to be reported to the Emperor and Mother."

"This is what we should do, Xinrong. Thank you for your concern."

The Fifth Prince now has to trouble Xinrong with everything. Thinking of how badly he treated Xinrong before, he felt a little ashamed for a moment.

I guess he will have to bow down to Xinrong from now on.
