The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Chapter 293: Cai Lian Surrenders

At this time, Cai Lian came to Xinrong's room late at night.

He knelt down as soon as he entered the room, which startled Xinrong for a moment.

After realizing what was happening, Xinrong didn't rush to call out, but told Suihong to go out and close the door, then asked, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Cailian bowed her head to express her loyalty. "Cailian is here to express her attitude to you, Fujin. You also know that Cailian has no parents and no one to rely on. All she wants is to live a stable life. Cailian dare not have any greedy thoughts."

Xinrong looked at the woman kneeling on the ground with a somewhat sincere look, and waited for her to continue.

Cai Lian was also a little nervous. She could clearly feel the kindness of the concubine towards her before, but she was just a little palace maid at that time. Now she suddenly became the so-called concubine. Cai Lian was not sure what Xinrong was thinking.

"Fujin, you can see how Cailian feels about the Fifth Prince. I know the Fifth Prince is not a man worthy of trust, so I have the courage to surrender to you. Cailian does not seek the Fifth Prince's favor, but only asks you to give me a meal."

"Cai Lian is willing to be your wife's wife. I hope your wife will not despise my stupidity."

Xinrong didn't expect Cailian to go to such lengths. In fact, as long as Cailian didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, Xinrong would naturally treat her well. But by doing this, Cailian was telling her that she was not the Fifth Prince's person, but her, Xinrong's person, and the meaning was naturally different.

Xinrong sighed, "What are you doing? Since we are all in this backyard together, as long as you don't cause trouble, we can live in peace."

But Cailian didn't want these. Looking at the Fifth Prince's suicidal spirit, she knew that she would never have a good life following him. Who knows, one day she might make the emperor angry because of Xiaoyanzi again.

Following such an immature person will only bring you fear and no benefit.

"This servant is sincere, Fu Jin, please let this servant follow you."

Cai Lian kowtowed heavily, and this time, her feelings were very sincere.

Now, Xinrong no longer refused and personally stood up to help Cailian up. "Alright, alright, stop knocking your head and get up quickly. It will be your big day in a few days, so you should look pretty."

Cai Lian then smiled and nodded, then stood up following Xinrong's hand.

"Our Fifth Prince is so infatuated with Xiaoyanzi, and he even takes you as his concubine. This proves that you still have a place in his heart. You must hold on to it." Xinrong winked at Cailian.

Hearing this, Cai Lian smiled bitterly, "Fujin, to be honest, the Fifth Prince really doesn't have any other thoughts about me. If it weren't for Concubine Yu's pity, the Fifth Prince wouldn't have seen me."

Although Cai Lian said this, Xinrong, as a bystander, could naturally see some of it.

Especially today when the Fifth Prince told her that he wanted to marry Cai Lian, the look he gave Cai Lian clearly showed some concern.

If it was just to fulfill Concubine Yu's instructions, there would be no need to do so.

But Xinrong would not tell Cailian this. She just smiled and said, "It's normal for men to be fickle."

Cai Lian understood Xinrong's intention. She wanted her to take this opportunity to win the heart of the Fifth Prince. Even if she couldn't win him completely, she had to at least leave a trace in his heart.

"The servant understands."

"Cai Lian, from now on you will be the Fifth Prince's concubine. We should address each other as sisters. Never refer to yourself as a servant again."

Cai Lian understood that Xinrong accepted her, and nodded happily.

After seeing Cai Lian off, Xinrong rubbed his forehead and thought of his mother's words again.

For a moment, he completely gave up the idea of asking Cailian to give birth to a child and raise him.

Cai Lian is very smart, but her mind is too active, which is not good.

Xinrong knew that a few days ago, Xinrong went to Xiaoyanzi to talk about her family affairs, but Xiaoyanzi complained to Yongqi instead.

She didn't know the specific details, but she was not as easy to fool as the Fifth Prince, so she naturally considered whether Cai Lian had gone to Xiaoyanzi to surrender.

It seems that this possibility is very high.

She should thank Xiaoyanzi for pushing Cailian to her side.

After choosing a suitable day, Xinrong went to the palace to inform Concubine Yu that she was going to marry Cailian as her concubine.

Cai Lian did not lie. Concubine Yu did know about it. She was not surprised at all and was even a little happy.

"Xinrong, thank you for your hard work. Leave this matter to mother. I will talk to the emperor."

After saying this, Concubine Yu mysteriously took out a letter and handed it to Xinrong, "This is a letter from Mother to Yongqi. He is recovering from his injuries now, and Mother is really worried. There are some instructions that I can only tell him in a letter. Please give it to him on behalf of Mother."

Xinrong looked at the letter and somehow felt that the content was related to him.

"Mother, the Fifth Prince is doing well now, you don't have to worry too much."

When this was mentioned, Concubine Yu sighed. How could she not be worried? She had been looking forward to her son getting married so that she could have a grandson. But now things had turned out like this. Her son even refused to consummate the marriage with his daughter-in-law. This made her unable to sleep day and night, and her hair was almost turning white.

"Xinrong, mother knows you are a good child, it's Yongqi who is wrong."

Xinrong didn't say anything. She couldn't praise Yongqi against her conscience, and she couldn't say anything bad about Yongqi in front of Concubine Yu. She better keep her mouth shut.

Seeing Xinrong like this, Concubine Yu thought and thought again, and finally did not take out the thing she had prepared in advance.

Xinrong is a lady from a noble family, she can't be so rude to her.

We still have to think of a way.

After seeing Xinrong off, the palace maid helped Concubine Yu into the room.

"Your Highness, why did you only give Concubine Fujin the letter and not the medicine?"

Concubine Yu sighed, "I can't lose face. How could I have given birth to such a useless son? It really makes me die of anger!"

The palace maid cautiously suggested, "Your Majesty, why don't you keep this secret from Fu Jin?"

"what do you mean?"

"As long as we start this, my brother won't be too resistant in the future."

This makes sense. "But now I can't leave, and Yongqi can't come in. If I don't hand it over to Xinrong, what else can I do?"

"She should have entered the palace when Cailian was appointed as a concubine, right?"

Yes, if it was Shang Yudie, Cai Lian would come to pay her respects to her.

Concubine Yu was still a little hesitant, "Wouldn't this be too unfair to Cailian?"

"Cai Lian is where she is today because of your love and care for her, Your Majesty. How could she possibly feel wronged? Besides, she should have listened to you, Your Majesty."

The palace maid's suggestion really moved Concubine Yu. Yes, it would be best to leave this matter to Cai Lian. Even if the Fifth Prince made a fuss, he would only hate her as his mother, and it would not affect his relationship with Xinrong.

"Then we must hurry up and talk to the Emperor about Yongqi marrying Cailian."

It would be better if this day came soon. Concubine Yu seemed to have already seen her eldest grandson waving to her.
