rich concubine

Chapter 2284 Greedy Ambition
Two more days later, there was finally movement in Xiang Xiyuan. According to the person who brought the news, Ruan Chuyin got up quietly in the middle of the night, lighting only two or three candles in the room, and was sneaking around inside, chanting: Something came out vaguely, but I couldn't quite understand it, and I didn't know what it was doing.

On the day she learned the news, Rong Yi reprimanded Lu Ruyi and asked her to stay in the room and reflect on her past. In the afternoon of the same day, Ruan Chuyin came over.

She smiled as soon as she came in, covered her lips and said, "I heard that the Crown Princess was very angry today. The Cuju competition ended with great fanfare not long ago. I heard that there were many rewards from the palace. Why did the Crown Princess still do this? What kind of temper?"

Rong Yi glanced at her and cleared out the servants in the room, leaving only Yu Heng by her side. After the room was clean, she said, "If you are here to see a joke today, then hurry out."

Ruan Chuyin's smile faded, she coughed slightly, and said, "These days, when the prince comes to my place, he seldom thinks about the eldest princess. I think the prince concubine should accept my affection."

Rong Yi's eyes darkened, she stretched out her hand to bring the tea to drink, smiled, and said, "I don't know, what kind of love is this? You are my father-in-law's son, and it is your duty to serve my father-in-law. You can catch my father-in-law." Your heart is also your ability, and you are the one who benefits from it in the end. What kind of love do you want me to owe you?"

Hearing this, I thought she didn't want to admit her fault. Ruan Chuyin's face was not as carefree as before, and she frowned. She said, "Is the Crown Princess joking with me? This move kills two birds with one stone. It benefits me and makes it convenient for you. How can I forget it? Is it possible that the Crown Princess has forgotten what she said to me last time?"

Rong Yi's face was demure, motionless, and her tone was indifferent: "I have not forgotten it, but now I have just accomplished such a thing, so don't think about taking credit for it? I thought you were more or less sensible. This kind of thing is important to you." You still come to me to ask for credit and reward for something that happened inside, hehe..."

At this time, Ruan Chuyin blushed. She took a deep breath, suppressed the sullen feeling in her heart, and suppressed her emotions again and again, and then said: "It is indeed my responsibility, but the Crown Princess is afraid I don’t know, but after the eldest princess left this time, the prince became very angry. If I hadn’t been there to comfort him and extinguish the anger in his heart, I’m afraid that the princess, the daughter-in-law, would have been scolded by her father-in-law. "

Hearing this, Rong Yi's expression darkened, she straightened her body, frowned and said hesitantly: "Dad is angry? How could I not know about this? Could it be that you are trying to trick me?"

Seeing that she was anxious, Ruan Chuyin felt reassured. He took a deep breath, pursed his lips and smiled, with a cunning light hidden in his eyes.

"Why should I use this kind of thing to deceive the Crown Princess? The Crown Princess will know if it is true or not just by asking my servants in Xiang Xiyuan."

After that, his tone became tactful again, and he said: "It's normal for the Crown Princess not to know about this matter. The prince got angry at me. If I hadn't persuaded and stopped him with good words at that time, I'm afraid he would have killed the Crown Prince right now. The concubine has no face."

Rong Yi looked surprised for a while, then snorted coldly and said, "It's the eldest princess's decision to leave. What does it have to do with me? I have never brought shame to the palace, whether at home or outside, so why wouldn't my father-in-law not give me any help?" face……"

Ruan Chuyin sighed and said, "I don't know about that. It's just that the prince was a lot dissatisfied when he mentioned you. I just guessed it was because of the eldest princess. Maybe it was because of other things."

Rong Yi sank completely. After a long while, he looked at her and reluctantly said, "What do you want?"

Seeing her giving in, Ruan Chuyin showed a satisfied look, and said with a embarrassed expression, "I have a humble status, so I don't dare to ask for anything from the Crown Princess, but... money is a little tight recently."

Want money?Rong Yi was slightly stunned. It was really a simple and unpretentious request. Did he think that what she wanted was something extraordinary, just money?

He sneered and said, "I didn't expect my wife to make such a request. Why, my father-in-law didn't give you enough?"

Ruan Chuyin said: "I'm going to make you laugh. I was born in a humble way. Nothing is as valuable as money. Money is yours if you hold it in your hands. It's naturally a benefit to ask for more." Rong Yi smiled, He raised his head and glanced at Yu Heng. Yu Heng nodded and went to get something.

What he brought was not money, but a gold hairpin. Ruan Chuyin held it in his hand and looked at Rong Yi in confusion.

"This is a hairpin, enough for you to exchange for a lot of money."

Naturally, the hairpin is an excellent hairpin. Even an ignorant person can tell by taking one look at it that it is not just a ghost thing to fool him.

Ruan Chuyin accepted Chai Zi and heard her say: "In that case, please speak kindly to me in front of my father-in-law. If you can relieve my worries, I can protect your wealth."

Ruan Chuyin smiled, sincerely. At this time, the atmosphere between the two became much warmer, and they were no longer hiding their swords in secret like before.

She said: "Then I would like to thank the Crown Princess in advance. Hey, I heard other people chatting today that it was the Crown Princess who scolded the second lady. I don't know what mistake the second lady made. She just came back to Beijing and she was scolded by you. ”

This is the purpose of her coming. She wants to know how the show is performed today.

Rong Yi had a cold face and disdainful eyes, but said, "It's not your place to ask. You'd better not ask more questions."

Ruan Chuyin bit her lip and said in a soft tone, "I have surrendered to the Crown Princess. Could it be that the Crown Princess can't say this in front of me?"

Rong Yi looked at her for a while, then calmed down and said, "There are people who don't open their eyes and think they have a backer, so they want to fight for power with me. What I'm doing today is also a warning to the people below, it's best to Please be honest and don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have."

Ruan Chuyin was surprised: "You are the eldest daughter-in-law and the crown prince's concubine. How dare these two ladies fight for power with you?"

"Why doesn't she dare? Because her aunt and mother-in-law are the eldest princess, she feels arrogant. The eldest princess also said it herself, asking her to come back and take care of the family affairs with me. Well, I am also a legitimate royal concubine. , the daughter-in-law married to the son of the original wife of this family, yet she has to suffer such idleness... What is coordination? She clearly wants to divide my power and pave the way for her son and daughter-in-law."

Ruan Chuyin listened, sighed, and said to her: "This is indeed too disrespectful of you. I think the second lady has a mountain behind her, so she is disrespectful to you..."

Rong Yi's eyes were cold and her ambition gradually revealed: "I have never shared a man with anyone, and don't even think about taking your rights away from me!"

Seeing her appearance at this moment, Ruan Chuyin's eyes trembled slightly. Only today did she clearly see the terrifying greed and ambition in the eyes of this princess.
