"Miss, don't cry yet. The prince will definitely marry you. You are the prince's favorite! Look at the jewelry the prince sent to you, as well as the clothes from the Jinyi Pavilion. The prince will be fascinated by the young lady wearing them. You are so dazzled, this slave has never seen a woman as beautiful as the young lady in your life, how can the prince bear to make the young lady sad?" The little maid held up the gorgeous clothes at hand to Yun Yiqiu, whose eyes were red from crying. look.
"My cousin is going to marry that woman." Yun Yiqiu's eyes were red from crying, and she couldn't wipe away the tears. Although she had known that her cousin was going to marry that woman, she went to see that woman specifically for this reason, but It was really his turn, and his heart ached so much that he couldn't even say anything, so he could only hide in his room and cry.
A jade-like face was crying like a person in tears, and it looked more and more beautiful. How could the prince not like such a beauty? The maid secretly felt resentful.
"Miss, how can you and the prince's childhood sweethearts be replaced by those foreign women? Moreover, the prince has promised that when that woman comes in, the prince will marry you and make you an equal wife, the same size as that woman. This house is where you grew up, my wife is your aunt, and the prince loves you very much, how can that woman compare to you? To be honest, apart from her reputation, that woman has nothing to hold you back."
Seeing Yun Yiqiu crying non-stop, the maid put down the jewelry in her hands, made a cup of tea for Yun Yiqiu, brought it to her, and consoled her smartly.

These words struck Yun Yiqiu's mind, thinking that this morning her cousin was still holding on to her soft-spoken assurance that he would only love her. The woman he married was just because her net worth was in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion. What is needed, when this need disappears in the future, I will never wrong myself again.
When he was talking, his cousin's eyes were as gentle as water, as warm as the clear moonlight. At that time, he was moved and fell into his arms. When he held him and cried silently, he gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips. She still kisses her passionately, which all proves that her cousin really cares about her.
When that woman is gone, I will be my cousin’s real wife from now on! Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a sense of joy. No matter how good my family background was, it didn't matter. My cousin only liked me, and he would even let her give up her position as the main wife.
Seeing that Yun Yiqiu's sobs had slowed down, the maid realized that her words were useful, she smiled and supported Yun Yiqiu and said: "Young lady is such a beautiful and gentle woman, how can any man not care about her heartache? Not only the prince in this house feels pain in her heart" You, even the wife puts you first, just like the second lady. You have a share of what the second lady usually has, but doesn’t it mean that the old lady wants to be her daughter-in-law." The maid said cheerfully.
"But, my cousin is getting married..." Yun Yiqiu felt heartbroken at the thought of her beloved cousin getting married to another woman. She covered her handkerchief with tears and felt sorry for herself. When she fell down, she couldn't figure it out. She and her cousin were obviously in love, but they couldn't live together openly. She had to wait for the woman to come in before marrying her, and they were equal wives.
An ordinary wife, to put it nicely, is a wife, but compared to a regular wife, she is not a concubine!
She was unwilling to give in. Her cousin was hers, how could she allow other women to occupy her position.
"Miss, why can't you turn around? The prince married that woman for the sake of the Zhenguo Hou Mansion. When the situation of the Zhenguo Hou Mansion improves, he can just let the prince divorce the woman. Then At this time, you still don’t have the final say in this mansion. Even if you tolerate it now, the future will not be entirely yours. The prince thinks about the prince’s mansion and your future. The prince has been so wronged. You can’t make the prince sad anymore, right? ?" The maid understood from Yun Yiqiu's hesitant and crying state. Her young lady was still staring at the position of the Crown Prince's wife and tried her best to explain.
What these words said really touched Yun Yiqiu's heart. Indeed, as the prince of the Zhenguo Marquis, his cousin naturally could not watch the Zhenguo Marquis's house fall and marry that woman first. Then it would not be him who wanted to do whatever he wanted. After all, when that woman has no use value anymore, just ask her cousin to abandon her. From now on, she will be the real Madam of Zhenguo.
I really can't hold my cousin back at this time. Not only can I not hold him back, but I also want to make my cousin feel that I am generous. Then my cousin will feel even more guilty about me, and my goal of becoming the wife of the Prince of Zhenguo is not that far away. .
I made up my mind, wiped my face with a handkerchief, and freshened myself up under the service of the maid. No matter what, I couldn't let my cousin see a decadent and stingy version of myself.
"Has the soup been heated again?" Yun Yiqiu couldn't help but feel reassured as she looked at the pretty figure with curved eyebrows and eyes in the mirror.
"Miss, it's already warmed up. She's sulking on the stove nearby, but isn't it too late to go over now?" The maid asked hesitantly as she looked at the sky outside. The sky gets dark early in winter, so outside Has hung up the lantern faintly.
This soup was stewed before, and I wanted to give it to the prince before dinner, but because the young lady heard the news that the prince was going to marry a new man, she came back halfway. As soon as she came back, she fell on the bed and cried. The maid only comforted Yun Yiqiu. , I didn’t have time to deliver it, so I just put the soup on the stove to warm up. It was not suitable to deliver it at this time, but the time was not suitable.
There have been rumors in the house for more than a day or two because of the incident between the young lady and the prince!
Especially now at this juncture, if something really happened, Madam would probably break her legs.
Thinking of Madam's methods, the maid shivered involuntarily.
"It's okay, it's not like I haven't been there before." A faint blush appeared on Yun Yiqiu's face. Thinking of the last time she and Sima Lingyun had passed by at this time, she felt warmth rush to her cheeks and lowered her head. , he spoke shyly.
That was before. In the past few days, Madam has issued a death order, telling you not to go to the Crown Prince's side if you have nothing to do. If you don't listen to the advice again, we little girls will be punished! Of course, the maid didn't dare to say this to Yun Yiqiu directly. With the madam's warning on one side and the young lady's urging on the other, the maid was also embarrassed.
His eyes glanced at the food on the table, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought about it, pointing to the unused food on the table and said: "Miss, would you like to eat some food first? You are weak and you just lost your temper." You are in a bad mood, and you will get sick again because you haven't eaten for a while. Last time you were sick, the prince was running around in a hurry. If you get sick again this time, you will have to punish the slaves again. , Miss, please feel free for me, slave, to eat first and then go over, okay? The soup is still hot on the stove anyway, so it won’t get cold."
It was dark at this time, and there were still many people walking around in the house. It was very likely that the lady would be seen when she went out at this time. It would be better to wait a little later, and there would be fewer maids and slaves before going out, so the lady might not know.
"Okay, let's eat first!" Yun Yiqiu didn't know what she thought of, and nodded with a red face. She was not stubborn. She walked to the table, picked up her chopsticks, sat down and started eating obediently.
The night was getting darker and darker, and the two lamps in front of the Zhenguo Hou Mansion could only illuminate a distance of ten feet. A gray sedan was carried from the dark intersection. Next to the sedan stood a girl in Tsing Yi. Huan lowered his head and couldn't see clearly who it was. He came to the gate of Zhenguo Hou Mansion. He didn't enter the gate, but walked to the side door.
Before the sedan arrived at the door, the side door was opened. A shrewd-looking woman in her forties or fifties half-opened the door and looked outside. When she saw the sedan approaching, she didn't step forward to ask. He only opened the side door and signaled the sedan to go straight in.
After entering the door, the old woman locked the door and walked in front. Two bearers carried the sedan behind, and the maid followed closely. The group was very quiet, with only the sound of footsteps and even breathing. light.
The sedan followed to the door of Sima Lingyun's study. As soon as the bottom of the sedan fell down, a maid in Tsing Yi helped out a person wrapped in a cloak from the sedan. There was no lantern in front of the study door, only some light yellow light could be seen faintly from inside. The light fell on the person wearing the cloak, creating a faint trace of yellow, but he couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl. He only estimated the height and the maid following him, and concluded that it was a girl.
The mother-in-law had already retreated with the two bearers and the maid in green clothes. When she went out, she carefully closed the door at the entrance of the courtyard. She also took away the two guards standing in the dark corner.
The study door suddenly opened wide, and Sima Lingyun, who was dressed in a Qionghua brocade robe, stood at the door with his hands behind his back. The light shone from behind him, making his long figure fall in front of the house. He just got off the sedan. The woman seemed to feel him and raised her head. Their eyes met each other, both filled with affection.
Afterwards, Sima Lingyun came over, gently took the woman's hand, and pulled her slowly into the study door. The door closed behind him. On the study window, the two figures slowly leaned together and embraced each other. Hugging each other, like mandarin ducks crossing their necks, cuddling together.
On the other side, Yun Yiqiu took a few mouthfuls of rice and couldn't eat anymore. The maid deliberately dragged her to reheat the soup and put the soup into the food box, then she took Yun Yiqiu and rushed to the prince's study in excitement. This place is not far from Sima Lingyun's study. Originally, it could only be reached by walking through a few paths. However, construction was going on over the past two days along the path. If Yun Yiqiu wanted to go to the study, he would have to take a long detour and make a big circle. Just fine.
"Miss, please walk slowly. The soup here is about to be spilled. The prince will be waiting for you. I said that the prince wanted to come to you as soon as he came to the house, but the madam stopped him because of something. Even if the prince can't come, I must also know that the young lady will be sad today, and will give the young lady an explanation. Not only does the young lady not complain now, but she also makes him soup. The prince cannot be so happy." The maid carried the food box and had to be careful. Don't spill the soup. Seeing Yun Yiqiu walking very fast, he couldn't help but joked.
"Damn girl..." Yun Yiqiu was in a good mood this time. She cursed and her steps slowed down. She suddenly felt sweet at the thought that her cousin must be waiting for her.
"That's right! The prince loves the young lady so much, how can he be willing to make the young lady sad? If nothing happened, he would have come to the young lady by now. So, young lady, you take care of yourself first. Even if you love the prince, who in this house I don’t know that the young lady is the one who is most important to the prince. The prince is happy only when the young lady is happy. Only when the young lady takes care of herself can the prince feel at ease." Seeing that Yun Yiqiu liked to listen, the maid became more and more energetic as she spoke, holding the food box tightly. He took two steps and said with a low smile.
Yun Yiqiu's heart grew sweeter as she said this. He glanced at the maid, took the handkerchief and twisted it a few times, his face red and speechless.
The courtyard of the study in front is already in sight, and it is as quiet as usual. In the past, if Yun Yiqiu came over at night, Sima Lingyun would always ask the servants to disperse, saying that he was afraid of ruining her reputation, and because he felt sorry for her, so he didn't When she heard others talking about her, these little things made Yun Yiqiu feel close to her heart, and a shy smile appeared on her lips.
As expected, her cousin was waiting for her, and even the entrance to the study was well arranged. (To be continued)
