Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Chapter 490: The Little Cannon Fodder in Ancient House Fighting Novels 49

"Sister, although our relationship is not very good, we have been sisters for more than ten years after all. How can you not stand my good fortune and ruin my reputation on the day I return home?" Although the Tenth Prince had said before that she could sell some information for pocket money, she would not accept such a disgusting way, as she was not short of money.

"You're talking nonsense! How could I possibly ruin your reputation?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. You clearly know that a woman's reputation is more important than anything else, so why did you bring the letter from the man outside your family to me? If the prince finds out, will I still have a way to survive? Aren't you putting me in an irretrievable situation? You really have bad intentions." After saying that, he glared at her and left quickly.

"Cui Xiaoxiao, stop..." Cui Ningning felt like she was going crazy and wanted to tear Cui Xiaoxiao into pieces.

She also discovered that she hadn't completed her mission this time, and she couldn't report to the prince. She shuddered at the thought of the prince's methods...

It was only after entering the palace that Cui Ningning realized that life could be so difficult!

She didn't see the prince for the first few days after she entered Prince Kang's mansion. The servants in the mansion also knew that this man was probably not favored, so they started to serve him according to the dishes. He ate cold rice, and the dishes were not only cold, but also inconvenient in many ways.

The place she lives in is not even as big as the courtyard she lived in before she got married, and there is another concubine living in that small courtyard with her. Every day she has to listen to the other person's indirect criticism and slander.

After finally meeting the prince, she was stunned by his outrageous actions before she could even begin to unleash her charm! The prince came to her to inquire about Cui Xiaoxiao's daily habits, hobbies, and strengths. What were her special qualities?

How could she know all this about Cui Xiaoxiao? So she just said a few words casually. The prince was not satisfied and even questioned her, "Aren't you sisters? Why don't you know Cui Xiaoxiao as well as he does?"

Cui Ningning was also unhappy. This was her wedding night, why did he keep mentioning the person she hated the most? In the end, the prince slapped her in the face. Even the intercourse was extremely violent. She was in great pain that night, and it left a shadow on her about intercourse.

She didn't dare to hate or blame Prince Kang, but she blamed it all on Cui Xiaoxiao, saying that it was this bitch who seduced the prince.

She never saw the prince again after that. She was almost bullied to death by the concubines and maids in the palace. As for those with higher status than madam, they were too lazy to pay attention to her and did not even bother to attack her.

She was at the bottom of the social ladder among the women in the palace, and anyone could bully her. She had to bow to everyone she met, and if she didn't do it properly, she would be punished by kneeling, and sometimes even beaten.

I can't even rely on the prince, I can't eat well, and I can't sleep well. These days are so hard!

This was completely different from the luxurious life in the palace she had imagined. All the things she had learned were of no use. In just one month, all her ambitions were almost shattered.

Two days ago, the prince suddenly found her and gave her a letter asking her to come back to attend Cui Xiaoxiao's homecoming banquet. He also instructed her to hand the letter to Cui Xiaoxiao personally, and then rewarded her with a night of violent sex.

She felt like she was going crazy.

She thought that she could see her aunt when she came back and talk to her, so she agreed! In the end, it was just a small matter, but the prince personally agreed to let a concubine return to her parents' home. This was a great grace and honor!

This incident led to a new round of bullying, and one of the ladies even beat her up. The reason was that her aunt died and she wanted to go back to attend the funeral but was not allowed to do so. So why should she, a concubine, have the chance to return home?

So she had been having a very hard time these days, but when she saw Cui Xiaoxiao dressed up beautifully and returning home, and that she was the only mistress in the entire Prince Jing's mansion, the entire backyard was her world, and His Highness Prince Jing treated her so well, every bit of it was what she had dreamed of but could never get despite her best efforts, how could she not hate him? How could she be willing to accept it?

Cui Ningning's eyes turned red with anger, but she had to suppress her anger. If she didn't send this letter, she didn't know what would be waiting for her when she returned!

But until they finished their meal and got on the carriage to leave the Marquis' Mansion, Cui Xiaoxiao didn't have the chance to deliver the letter to her!

After returning to the palace, His Royal Highness Prince Kang thought that she was jealous and deliberately did not deliver the letter. Otherwise, why didn't she deliver the letter for a whole day? Don't say that there was no opportunity, that was an excuse. She had missed his big plan, so he slapped her twice.

From then on, Cui Ningning unilaterally decided to be irreconcilable with Cui Xiaoxiao and fight to the death.

After returning home, the Tenth Prince's wedding leave ended! He officially began to work, while Cui Xiaoxiao began to sort out her dowry. The dowry she brought over was less than one-tenth of her actual dowry.

Before she got married, the money the Tenth Prince gave her, plus the money she had exchanged for deeds to farms, shops, and houses, almost filled up a small warehouse.

So she is really not poor, and is much richer than the prince's wife in the capital.

These days, she and her maidservants sorted out and registered everything.

The palace's account books were quickly delivered. Since the prince had only recently moved into the palace and his staff had just been established, the process was relatively simple. With the help of Matron Zong Fang and Matron Ning, the prince's trusted advisor, everything was quickly sorted out.

Half a month passed in a busy manner.

The letter from the Fifth Prince had reached her through the Marquis's hand. She put the envelope aside casually, not even bothering to look at it. The Tenth Prince happened to come in at this time and saw the letter on the table!

"Who wrote this letter to you?"

"Your fifth brother has never given up on asking me to be a spy for him." Cui Xiaoxiao said in a bad tone.

"Seeing how good our relationship is, of course he won't give up. Especially after he knew that I took the initiative to propose to you, his interest in you became stronger." His fifth brother always regarded him as an imaginary enemy, thinking that anything that belonged to him was a good thing and he wanted to take it all back.

He would only feel a sense of accomplishment after retrieving it with great difficulty. If he did, he would think it was a trap. He didn't know when he developed this habit.

"Isn't his competitor you princes and dukes? Isn't he interested in that position? Why would he be interested in me, a woman in the harem, instead of recruiting soldiers and talents?" Cui Xiaoxiao was speechless. She had stayed in the Fifth Prince's Mansion for a few years in her previous life. How come she didn't realize that he had this kind of personality?

"You are not just an ordinary woman in the harem, but the only mistress of Prince Jing's backyard. He thinks that if he can get you, he can get me!"

"He really thinks highly of me. Why does he think you will be led by me?"

"He has good vision in this regard. I might really be led by you by the nose, really, willingly." After saying this, the Tenth Prince took her hand and placed it on his lips and kissed it.

"Then what should we do with this?" Cui Xiaoxiao pointed to the letter next to her.

"If you don't mind, just leave it to me. I'll help you make money from the cakes." The tenth prince smiled with ill intentions. The person he had married with great difficulty was targeted by someone. If he didn't find some revenge, he would not be himself!

What they didn't know was that the Fifth Prince valued Cui Xiaoxiao so much because he had discovered that the Tenth Prince had taken the initiative to ask for her hand in marriage and that he valued her highly. He had also investigated her but found nothing, so he believed there was more to this than meets the eye.

Secondly, according to Lord Le'an, she has a cousin named Hua who is elusive, very capable, and has a huge amount of money. Cui Xiaoxiao is his only cousin!

Thirdly, wasn't the Le'an Marquisate in his name? Moreover, she almost became his woman. So, wasn't it natural for Cui Xiaoxiao to become his pawn?

"Okay! By the way, Your Highness, do you have any ideas about that position?" Cui Xiaoxiao asked casually.

"What would you do if I had an idea? What would you do if I didn't have one? Xiaoxiao, do you want to be the queen?"

"What can I do? Husbands sing and wives follow. But even if you become emperor, I can't be empress." Those court officials were not just for show. However, she didn't dare to make any suggestions on such matters, lest she be blamed later.

But she didn't want to be a queen either. It was too tiring and the burden was too heavy. She came here to live a comfortable life, not to be a nanny managing the harem.

"I don't have any idea, but it can't be the eldest or the fifth, otherwise we won't be able to live well." The tenth prince did not hide his thoughts, nor did he hide his likes and dislikes!

"So what's your idea?" Cui Xiaoxiao was surprised. What happened in her previous life that led to the Fifth Prince's final victory?

But what she was sure of was that if it really was the Fifth Prince in the end, the man in front of her would definitely not have a good ending before the Fifth Prince ascended the throne. Otherwise, based on what he had just said, he would not have stood idly by.

But no matter whether it is the plot or the memories of the previous life, they are all about the inner house or palace fighting, and there are no words about the fight for the throne!

"I want to live a comfortable life, but I don't want to bear too much responsibility. The best way is to support one person." The burden of being an emperor is too heavy. He doesn't want to work so hard, but he also can't bear to watch his ancestors' foundation being destroyed by those two people.

"Oh, then... who does Achen favor?" This idea was somewhat similar to hers; they were on the same page. She was just curious, who would the Tenth Prince obey?

"Guess?" The tenth prince kept the secret!

"I don't know all the princes well, so I can't guess." This is true. I don't know much about them, whether in my past life or this life.

The Tenth Prince did not tell her the answer, but only said, "You will know."

Cui Xiaoxiao also knew what the Tenth Prince was thinking, and the two of them ended this dangerous topic.

During her time at the palace, Cui Xiaoxiao had to attend some banquets, pay her respects to the palace twice a month, and manage the palace and her dowry. Overall, she felt comfortable and relaxed.

What made her very satisfied was that she didn't have to go out in person for shopping. The merchants would personally deliver the goods to her for her to choose. She didn't even have to give any instructions, as the money would be directly billed to the palace. It was said that it was the order of the Tenth Prince!

The Tenth Prince would sometimes bring her some food, or if he found any precious or beautiful jewelry, he would bring it back for her!

Cui Xiaoxiao would also return the favor by taking over the Tenth Prince's food, clothing, housing and transportation. She would send someone to deliver nutritious lunch to him every day, and occasionally send some cakes or something to the imperial concubine.

When life is comfortable and pleasant, time will pass quickly. Cui Xiaoxiao has been married into the palace for two and a half years, and now she is almost eight months pregnant.

At this time, the crown prince died of illness. The emperor suffered the loss of a son in middle age and was heartbroken. He fell seriously ill and his health was not very good. The beauty pageant that was originally planned for this year was cancelled, and the plan to appoint a wife for the tenth prince was also lost.

Therefore, Cui Xiaoxiao is still the only concubine in Prince Jing's Mansion. Even when the Empress Dowager wanted to appoint two wives to serve the Tenth Prince, he refused. The reason was that the concubine was in the late stage of pregnancy and he was afraid of jealousy and trouble!

Because Cui Xiaoxiao was pregnant and afraid of being bumped into, she escaped the disaster by not going to mourn for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince except for burning a few incense sticks!

After the Crown Prince's funeral, the capital began to calm down. Cui Xiaoxiao, who was nine and a half months pregnant, finally went into labor and gave birth to the first child of the Prince Jing's family!

However, because of the prince's matter, there was no third-day bathing ceremony, and even the child's full-month banquet was celebrated in a low-key manner!

The prince and Concubine Zhao both gave the child many good things as compensation! The tenth prince was also very distressed and said frankly that the child had been wronged and would only give him a big one on his first birthday.

She didn't feel wronged at all.

In fact, giving birth to a child for the royal family was quite kind to pregnant women. There were six wet nurses for the child alone, not to mention the maids and nannies who served the child. When they grew up, they had special tutors for their studies.

From the moment a child is born until he or she grows up, she basically doesn't need to take care of the child, and there is no need to worry about the child growing up abnormally. Children from large families in ancient times were mostly very filial to their mothers.

She is no less impressive. After her belly is repaired after childbirth, she eats nutritious meals every day, and a professional massages her belly to help her shrink her uterus and lose weight. If she feels bored, she can ask someone to come and tell her stories.

There are also generous rewards from the palace. What is there to be wronged about? Not at all!

Now that there is no crown prince in the palace, it means that everyone has a chance to take that position. Since the emperor's health is not very good, the fight for the throne has become fierce, and the court officials have begun to take sides, either openly or secretly.

After more than two years, Cui Xiaoxiao finally understood who the Tenth Prince had his eyes on!

She didn't have any objections.

Although she was aware of these major events, she rarely intervened and left them all to the Tenth Prince to decide!

Besides being a housekeeper and taking care of the children, she also quietly exchanged the banknotes she had collected in her space for exquisite sets of head ornaments and stored them in her space. She even took out several pieces of jadeite raw stones she had collected in the future to make jewelry!

The things stored in time and space can support a jewelry museum. They are so exquisite that there is no girl who doesn't like them.

The emperor's health has finally improved. In order to prove to everyone that he is still in good health, he announced that an autumn hunt will be held this year!

It was also because of this autumn hunt that all the doubts that Cui Xiaoxiao had previously had were resolved.
