Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Sitting outside, Liu Shimei nodded, thinking, ‘This Xia He really has ambitions and calculations. It’s a pity she chose the wrong master!’

However…

Who knows if Xia He has her own plans?

A pretty girl like her, easily climbing up to high branches with her master. When Liu Yan’er became the Crown Prince’s consort, as a maid accompanying the marriage, wouldn’t Xia He have the chance to climb into Huangfu He’s bed?

Climbing into bed would make her a concubine. If she’s lucky enough to get pregnant, even if it’s the worst-case scenario, she would become a concubine, breaking free from servitude!

Being a prince’s concubine is different from an ordinary person; if she gives birth to a boy, her status rises. In the future, when the Crown Prince ascends the throne, she might even be titled as a consort!

Scheming, such scheming!

Of course, Liu Yan’er was also jealous of Xia He’s looks. This girl, dressed plainly but exuding a blossoming beauty, made Liu Yan’er feel threatened.

But at this moment, she has no choice but to use her.

Liu Yan’er said, “Xia He, I’ll follow your lead. Let’s stay a while longer in front of the Crown Prince. Then, I’ll use the excuse of feeling unwell due to the strong summer heat to leave Yuebin Pavilion. You send someone to stay and observe, then report to me every detail of what happens here tonight.”

“Yes,” Xia He agreed, finally putting Liu Yan’er at ease.

However, Zhang Wan’er tilted her head, deep in thought.

At this point, Liu Shimei’s initial shyness had been erased by the actions of these two sisters, and her face was no longer flushed.

She wanted to leave but found herself trapped here.

In anticipation, hoping that the foolish puppy wouldn’t search for her everywhere, Liu Yan’er planned to leave when the Crown Prince arrived. She was sure to go and greet him, naturally departing.

As for why Liu Yan’er, not a royal heir, could enter the Riverview Pavilion, it was not hard to understand.

She was the alternative candidate for the Crown Prince’s consort!

Now, let’s talk about Huangfu Lingyao. After pushing Liu Shimei out of the room, he secured the door latch and lay down on the small couch.

Tossing and turning, he couldn’t suppress the restlessness within him. He wished he could jump out of the window into the river; soaking in water might help!

Several times, he reached out to move himself but felt it wasn’t quite right. There were still two months left, to be saved for his wife!

After much contemplation, he gritted his teeth and forcefully pinched his thigh, the pain clearing his mind a little. He dared not think about Liu Shimei; the more he thought, the more he wanted to burn himself!

After who knows how long of tossing and turning, he heard other voices outside. He started listening to the chaotic footsteps, trying to figure out who these people were and where they were going. Shifting his focus, he finally felt a bit better.

Not long after, he judged from the voices that Liu Yan’er and Zhang Wan’er had arrived!

Thinking of these disgusting sisters, Huangfu Lingyao wished he could throw them into the river, but without provocation, he could only think about it.

Finally, his restless body calmed down, and he broke into a sweat. Huangfu Lingyao sniffed his clothes and frowned.

What if my wife finds me stinky?

But on second thought, no matter how disheveled, smelly, or foolish I am, she has never despised me. She is the best girl in the world!

No, I have to find my wife. Otherwise, when the Crown Prince comes later, what if he finds an opportunity to be alone with my wife?

With determination, he opened the door.

Unexpectedly, he met Zhang Wan’er at a glance!

Zhang Wan’er also froze for a moment, then immediately put on a smiling face and excitedly shouted, “Your Highness!”
