The Reborn Peasant Woman

Chapter 12 The First Step in Seizing Zhongfu

"Since you are the concubine of this king, you should abide by women's morals and don't hook up with outsiders." Xuanyuan Haofeng immediately felt that he had lost face when she retorted, so he loudly reprimanded.

"I haven't hooked up with any outsider. If you insist on putting a beautiful colored hat on yourself, I don't mind!" Xia Jinyan smiled calmly, without any hint of anger.

"You——when did you become so eloquent?" Xuanyuan Haofeng felt that he had a feeling that a scholar met a soldier, and he couldn't explain why.

"I'm always eloquent, but the lord's thoughts are not on me." Xia Jinyan's eyes flashed, and she curved her lips and smiled.

"You look so pretty when you smile." Xuanyuan Haofeng wanted to reprimand her a few times, but when he saw her charming smile, he forgot to reprimand her.

"Thank you, my lord, for your compliment." Xia Jinyan's expression was indifferent, and she sneered in her heart, "If you fuck me earlier, I will thank you, hum."

Freedom, when will you be free?

Xia Jinyan looked at the scenery outside the window, the sunset was gorgeous, and people on the road hurried home.

"What is there to see outside?" Xuanyuan Haofeng asked Xia Jinyan.

"The outside world is huge, and everything is beautiful." Xia Jinyan smiled as if nothing had happened, and sighed.

"You mean to say that you were confined in the palace and envied the people outside?" Xuanyuan Haofeng had a bright mind and immediately realized.

"You're right." Xia Jinyan chuckled.

"I still remember the time when I went hunting with my father at the Mulan paddock..." Xuanyuan Haofeng's thoughts seemed to return to his childhood.

The two chatted in the carriage like this, and they got along quite happily.

After getting off the carriage, Xia Jinyan walked towards Haitang Court where she lived, and did not invite Xuanyuan Haofeng like other women, or coquettishly ask Xuanyuan Haofeng to accompany her.

Xuanyuan Haofeng looked at Xia Jinyan's back at this time, feeling a little depressed for no reason.

When Xia Jinyan returned to Haitang Garden, Caidie had already stretched her neck at the door and waited for her for a long time.

"Princess, you are back." Cai Die breathed a sigh of relief, she was still worried that the concubine would not know the way back home.

"I came back in the prince's carriage." Seeing Caidie's worried face, Xia Jinyan felt warm in her heart.

"The servant asked the kitchen to prepare dinner." Cai Die said cleverly.

"Okay, remember to tell them to do it lightly." Xia Jinyan ordered.

"Yes, Wangfei." Cai Die nodded immediately, then turned and walked out.

Xia Jinrou's residence in Plum Blossom Pavilion.

"What did you say? The lord really came back with Xia Jinyan?" Xia Jinrou was still enjoying the good Yunshan Yinzhen tea leisurely, but now she spit out a mouthful of tea.

"Yes, concubine concubine." Fendie replied cautiously.

"Bitch, you hooked up with the prince once you went out! If you want the prince to treat her differently, it depends on whether the concubine agrees!" Xia Jinrou angrily threw the teacup she was holding on the ground, and said angrily.

"The side concubine, please calm down, side concubine, please calm down!" As Xia Jinrou's dowry maid, how could Fendie not know the twists and turns between Xia Jinrou and Xia Jinyan?
"Then tell me, is there any good way?" Xia Jinrou was annoyed in her heart, she was afraid that her goal would not be achieved, her greatest wish in this life was to bring down her sister-in-law Xia Jinyan and get her princess throne.

"My concubine, this method is a bit dangerous, but I don't know if you dare to use it?" Fen Die rolled her eyes, and she immediately thought of a bad idea.

"There's nothing you dare not use. As long as I can bring her down, I'll do whatever it takes." Xia Jinrou sneered while holding the brocade handkerchief tightly.

"Please listen to the side concubine." Fendie said. "..."

Xia Jinrou nodded and told Fandie to start making arrangements as soon as possible.

The weather was very hot, after Xia Jinyan had dinner, she ordered her servants to go to the cellar to get ice cubes.

But an hour passed, and the maid who went to get the ice reported that all the ice had been taken by the side concubine.

"Is she really courageous?" Xia Jinyan was furious in her heart, but because of her timidity and cowardice, she didn't have the right to be in charge of the mansion.

"Princess, what should I do now?" Cai Die asked anxiously while helping Xia Jinyan with a fan. She was sweating profusely watching Xia Jinyan.

"Forget it, it's natural to be calm!" Xia Jinyan smiled lightly.

"By the way, Caidie, why don't you send someone to find out which room the prince is staying in tonight?"

"Yes, this servant will send someone to inquire." Cai Die nodded.

After Xia Jinyan waited for a cup of tea, finally came the news that Xuanyuan Haofeng stayed in the study overnight.

"Why is it a study?" Xia Jinyan was taken aback for a moment.

"Does the concubine want to deliver supper to the prince?" Cai Die guessed.

"Thank you Caidie, you have a good idea." Xia Jinyan nodded.

It is true that he has to negotiate with Xuanyuan Haofeng to obtain the power that belongs to the main family——to take charge of Fuzhong Zhongfu.

She hoped that life in the palace would be better, at least there would be ice cubes available when it was hot.

"Caidie, go and bring me a bowl of mung bean soup, I'm going to show my heart." Xia Jinyan said with a twitch of her lips.

In the palace, without power, it is difficult to move an inch, even asking for an ice cube is so difficult.

Xia Jinyan sat down in front of the mirror on the dressing table, and neatly combed herself into a brilliant Liuyun bun.

After washing and dressing up, Xia Jinyan took a bowl of mung bean soup and walked towards the study of the palace.

"My lord, the wangfei is asking to see you at the door." The confidant of the lord's bodyguard chased the wind to report.

"It's so late, what is she here for?" Xuanyuan Haofeng frowned, but after a while, he raised his hand to signal for Zhuifeng to call Xia Jinyan into the room.

At this moment, the night is like water, and the breeze is blowing, mixed with the fragrance of lotus, and blowing a strand of blue silk in front of Xia Jinyan's ears. She is like a fairy who has just descended from the mundane world. Slightly slender, but also slim and charming.

so late?Did Xia Jinyan come to seduce her?
A trace of contempt flashed across Xuanyuan Haofeng's eyes, but then he became a little complacent, which showed that his masculinity was still very strong.

"My lord, it must be hard work for you to be working in the study at such a late hour!" The alluring face is softer under the moonlight, the black eyebrows are slender and long like emerald feathers, a pair of black eyes are bright and clear, and the nose is full. Underneath is a pair of small cherry mouths, slightly seductive, and her facial features are simply perfect.

Xuanyuan Haofeng nodded, and said, "Are you here?" Suddenly he wondered how Xia Jinyan was coddling?
