Chapter 886: Tricks
Seeing this, Cai Mushi said to the servants, "Go and invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over."Fearing that the prince would not come, she added: "Just tell him that I have prepared a great gift for him. I guarantee he will like it very much."
The servant said he was leaving.
More than a quarter of an hour later, the prince arrived.
When he saw a young woman sleeping on the dining table, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Your Highness." Cai Mushi stood up and grabbed the prince's arm. "She is my sister, her name is Muge. I am not feeling well today, would you mind letting her serve Your Highness?"
The prince was startled for a moment, then quickly smiled: "Are you learning how to be magnanimous like the Crown Princess?"
"I am more generous than the Crown Princess, am I not? She is my own sister." Cai Mushi lowered her eyes and sobbed softly, "I have His Highness in my heart, but I will not be like the Crown Princess, who casually uses a woman like Yan Yan'er to please His Highness."
The prince lifted Cai Muge's chin and looked at him for a moment.
The woman in front of him had a pretty face and was indeed good-looking. Her figure was also much better than Cai Mushi's.
He immediately said to Cai Mushi in a friendly manner: "Your starting point is good, but I am not that kind of person."
Cai Mushi cursed in her heart, he was clearly a lecher.
Why are you still pretending at this moment?
She didn't show it on her face, and said delicately, "I'm just afraid that Your Highness will be deceived by that kind of woman. I sincerely hope that Your Highness will be well, and I also hope that Your Highness can put his heart on me."
The prince nodded, but then said, "If Concubine has nothing else to do, I will go to work on my official duties."
What kind of woman would he not want to sleep with?
Cai Xiang's daughter has already slept with one man, so there is no need to sleep with another one.
Cai Mushi complained in her heart, he is still under house arrest, where does the official business come from?
With a clever smile on her face, she said, "Your Highness, my sister has a fiancé."
"Oh?" The prince raised his eyebrows noticeably.
Cai Mushi nodded: "Yes, they have a good relationship and will get married before the end of the year."
Hearing this, the prince became interested.
Seeing his expression, Cai Mushi said gently, "I have already decorated the room. The bed sheets and quilts have all been changed to festive colors. Your Highness, is this okay?"
"Yeah." The prince finally nodded.
Cai Mushi ordered the maid to send Cai Muge to the room in the next courtyard.
That night, Cai Muge woke up in pain.
When she saw that the person on her body was the prince, she became extremely flustered and cried bitterly.
The prince said in a cold voice: "It was your elder sister who gave you to me, why are you crying?"
Cai Muge finally realized that she had been tricked by her stepmother and stepsister today.
But now that things have come to this, and the person on her body is the prince, what should she do?
She had heard that the prince was vicious and cruel, and she was afraid that she would lose her life if she was not careful.
Although my father was the prime minister, in his eyes, a concubine's daughter was far inferior to a legitimate daughter.
Now there is only one way to go, and that is to follow the prince.
The prince was satisfied with Cai Muge's transformation and doted on her overnight.
When she woke up the next day, he rewarded her with a lot of good things.
In the following days, the prince stayed overnight in Cai Muge's room.
When Yan Yan'er heard the news, she quietly went to the prince's study.
At this moment, the prince had already eaten at Cai Muge's place last night. Seeing that Yan Yan'er had no interest, he spoke in a rather unfriendly tone: "The study is a restricted area. You are not allowed to come here unless it is important."
Yan Yan'er said: "Your Highness, is there anything I did wrong?"
"If you're in a bad mood, go out and relax." The prince said in a rather cold voice.
He took out a few banknotes and said, "Buy whatever you like."
Now that he had said so, Yan Yan'er thought to herself, what else could she say?
She entered the Prince's Mansion only after she had a miscarriage, so she could not be compared with the Prime Minister's concubine's daughter. She had no choice but to accept the gift of silver notes and leave.
She wanted to go talk to the Crown Princess and see if there was any solution, but she didn't expect the Crown Princess to refuse to see her.
If she could not be favored in the future, she would have no one to rely on. She was in a bad mood for a while, so she took her maid out to relax.
Fortunately, the prince was quite generous, so she bought some new clothes and jewelry. Only by dressing herself up beautifully could she gain more favor.
Who would have thought that just after getting off the carriage and before visiting any shop, the maid following behind her was knocked unconscious.
Even she herself was knocked unconscious by a club.
When I woke up again, everything around me was in tatters. I looked up and saw a big hole in the roof.
Yan Yaner yelled: "Help, help!"
Who would have thought that a few beggars would suddenly appear.
"Where did this young lady come from? She's really pretty." A beggar drooled, wiped the corner of his mouth with his dirty hands, and slowly approached Yan Yan'er.
Yan Yan'er was terrified and shouted, "I am the prince's woman. If you dare to touch me, you will die."
Another beggar laughed and said, "You must be kidding, right?"
"Why would I lie to you? Who is so bold as to bring out the Crown Prince?" Yan Yan stood up. "Look at the way I'm dressed. Am I an ordinary person?"
The beggars looked at each other.
"Look at his clothes. He is indeed a rich man."
"Prince, we can't afford to offend you."
Yan Yan'er snorted, "You can't afford to offend me, that's right. I have some banknotes on me. If you let me out, the banknotes will be yours."
"Will you really give me a banknote?" a beggar asked.
Yan Yan'er was extremely panicked, but she still calmly took out a silver note and threw it over.
The beggar picked it up and saw that it was indeed a fifty-liang silver note. He immediately said, "We can send you out. This area is full of beggars. Only with us leading the way can you get out smoothly." Thinking that she had other silver notes, he stretched out his hand and said, "Give me some more. There are more brothers."
Yan Yan'er gritted her teeth and gave another silver note.
Several beggars led her there.
On the way out, many dirty beggars around her blew whistles at her and called her "young lady".
Fortunately, after walking for nearly quarter of an hour, I finally got out.
But unexpectedly, the coachman came with the guards from the Prince's Palace.
When they saw Yan Yan'er with a group of beggars, they looked at each other in confusion, but still sent her back to the Prince's Mansion.
After entering the Prince's Mansion, Yan Yan'er was still in shock.
She walked with unsteady steps, and a woman came towards her. It was Cai Mushi.
"I heard that Miss Yan'er was kidnapped. Such an important matter should be reported to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Cai Mushi raised her hand to invite him, "Please come in, Miss Yan'er."
"That place is very dirty. I want to go wash myself first." Yan Yan'er said.
How could Cai Mushi agree to this? She just gave the maid behind her a look and ordered her to carry her to the prince.
When the prince saw Yan Yan'er, whose clothes were stained with dirt and smelled a strange odor, he frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"Your Highness, Miss Yan'er was abducted by a beggar. I'm afraid she was defiled by the beggar." Cai Mushi said, "Your Highness, please make a decision for Miss Yan'er."
"Concubine, you are talking nonsense. I was not defiled. I gave the beggars a banknote and they sent me out."
Yan Yan'er tried to pull the prince's robe, but the prince dodged her.
The prince frowned and said, "Someone, send her away."
"Your Highness, I still want to serve you and don't want to leave!" Yan Yan'er knelt down, "I was not touched by the beggar, please believe me!"
"The coachman and the guard saw you coming out talking and laughing with the beggar, and you said you weren't touched?"
Cai Mushi covered her nose and shook her head.
