Prince Pampers the Escaping Consort

From the flowers, one could see the sadness of the women in the palace. No matter how beautiful they were, in the end, they still needed the pity of the beauties, and no matter how brilliant the flower blossomed, there would always be a day when they would pass away.

Yan Xiaoxi held onto Liu Zhixue as they walked in the pavilion, followed by two rows of palace maids.

"Is the secondary wife tired? I might as well go to the pavilion and rest. " With that, Yan Xiaoxi ignored Liu Zhixue's opinion and pushed her towards the pavilion.

Behind him, the palace maids looked at Yan Xiaoxi in astonishment. The imperial concubine was pregnant, so what if Princess Lin hurt the child with such a crude action?

"Alright." Liu Zhixue did not have any intention of blaming Yan Xiaoxi, showing her understanding of the situation to the fullest.

The moment she sat down, Yan Xiaoxi picked up the pastries on the table and started eating.

"Is little sister wangfei very hungry?" Liu Zhixue asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Yan Xiaoxi continued eating her food without even glancing at Liu Zhixue. She wanted to sit here quietly and wait for Nangong Lin to arrive.

"Eat more." Liu Zhixue pushed all the plates in front of her to Yan Xiaoxi.

Yan Xiaoxi was no longer polite. She ignored Liu Zhixue and continued to eat.

"Little sister wangfei, are Miss Liu and I really that similar?" Liu Zhixue did not mind Yan Xiaoxi's apathy as she took the initiative to find a topic to talk.

"Yeah." Yan Xiaoxi agreed.

"Other than his appearance, what other things do he look like?" Liu Zhixue continued to ask.

"Shameless." Yan Xiaoxi said softly.

Face? Liu Zhixue looked at Yan Xiaoxi in astonishment. She did not understand the meaning behind her words? "Can it be that his face is referring to his appearance?"

Yan Xiaoxi gave a faint smile, then added, "It's just as thick."

"You …" Liu Zhixue was just about to lose her temper when she clenched her fist tightly. She suddenly realized her current status and could only forcibly swallow all of her anger into her stomach.

She continued to wear a faint smile as she said, "Little sister wangfei sure knows how to joke around."

"Does the side concubine think this joke is funny?" Yan Xiaoxi was not planning to expose Liu Zhixue either. She wanted to see what tricks Liu Zhixue was trying to play.

"Hur hur, it's quite funny." Liu Zhixue let out an awkward laugh.

"The secondary wife's laughing point is really low." Yan Xiaoxi teased.

"Yeah." Liu Zhixue suppressed the anger in her stomach and kept her calm as she looked at Yan Xiaoxi.

Yan Xiaoxi looked at Liu Zhixue who was trying her best to hold back her anger. She felt that Liu Zhixue was both pitiful and laughable. She suddenly asked playfully, "Does the imperial concubine think that the crown prince is using you as a substitute?"

"How could that be? His Highness the Crown Prince treats me very well." After saying that, Liu Zhixue rubbed her belly. Her expression and actions seemed to be showing off to Yan Xiaoxi. She was about to become a mother.

She had been married to Nangong Lin for such a long time, yet there was no reaction.

To women, children were a gift from heaven. In the royal family, they became a bargaining chip and a solid chess piece.

Yan Xiaoxi could imagine the future fate of Liu Zhixue's child, and she couldn't help but feel sad for her life. Whether it was luck or misfortune that was born into Liu Zhixue's stomach, glory and wealth might be endless, but it was also very arduous. In a commoner's house, coarse tea and light rice were filled with deep love, and all of these were things that could not be experienced in the Imperial Palace.

"It's getting late, it's time for the secondary wife to rest." Yan Xiaoxi was no longer in the mood to stay with Liu Zhixue.

"What is it? Did this wangfei prick the sore spot of this wangfei's sister? " Liu Zhixue blinked innocently, not knowing what to do.

When Yan Xiaoxi heard this, she immediately understood. Her lips curved up in a strange smile as she replied, "How could that be? Child, little Linlin and I will always have one."

"I thought there was something wrong with the princess' body, but her face suddenly changed when she heard this." As soon as Liu Zhixue found the opportunity, she immediately pressed on. She thought that Yan Xiaoxi was a taboo to her child, so she kept on talking about things like this.

However, how could she know that Yan Xiaoxi wanted to return home as soon as possible? She didn't even want to waste her time here.

"Your Highness, you are overthinking it." Yan Xiaoxi saw through Liu Zhixue's thoughts with a single glance. This woman would always fight against her.

"This consort is also worried about little sister wangfei." Then, Liu Zhixue did not forget to explain.

Yan Xiaoxi nodded and did not answer her.

When the two of them came out of the pavilion, they coincidentally ran into Imperial Concubine Xiao who had come to admire the flowers. Today, she was wearing a bright red peony chests and was displaying her well-developed twin peaks perfectly for everyone to see.

"Princess Lin, imperial concubine." Imperial Concubine Xiao called out to the two of them.

Hearing the familiar voice, Yan Xiaoxi had no choice but to stop in her tracks. She bent down slightly and greeted, "Imperial Concubine."

"It's been a while since I saw Xi Er, I miss him a lot." Imperial Concubine Xiao personally helped Yan Xiaoxi up.

Beside her, just as Liu Zhixue was about to bend down, Imperial Concubine Xiao took a step forward and said, "The secondary concubine is pregnant, there's no need for formalities."

Hearing that, Liu Zhixue stood up without any hesitation, thanking him, "Thank you, Imperial Concubine Xiao."

"I'm in a good mood today. Why don't you accompany me for a walk?" As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Zhixue immediately agreed. This way, even if Yan Xiaoxi wanted to leave, she would not be able to leave.

Since Liu Zhixue was pregnant, she had to give Imperial Concubine Xiao Xiao face, leaving Yan Xiaoxi no choice but to reluctantly walk with the two of them.

"It can't be that Xi Er isn't willing, right?" Imperial Concubine Xiao seemed to see through Yan Xiaoxi's thoughts as she straightforwardly asked this question.

Hearing Imperial Concubine Xiao's question, even if Yan Xiaoxi wasn't willing, she couldn't refuse. She smiled and said, "How could it be? Imperial Concubine Xiao knows that Xi Er likes you the most."

Since Nangong Lin was still in the future, Yan Xiaoxi could only accompany them as they continued to admire the flowers.

"Xi Er, what a considerate child." Imperial Concubine Xiao patted Yan Xiaoxi on the shoulder and glanced at Liu Zhixue beside her.

The two of them had smiles in their eyes, and their eyes were filled with the meaning of crafty plots. Yan Xiaoxi, who was looking around, missed the chance to interact with the two of them.

The three walked side by side, leisurely walking in the imperial garden.

"Xi Er, you and Prince Lin have been married for so long, why is it that you haven't seen any movements in your stomach?" Imperial Concubine Xiao didn't know why, but she also took this question as a difficult one for Yan Xiaoxi.

Yan Xiaoxi glanced at Imperial Concubine Xiao in astonishment. Why was she being questioned by this child today?

She smiled and stared at him with her watery eyes. She retorted, "Imperial Concubine Xiao hasn't had a child in the palace for many years. You're not in a hurry. If you have time to enjoy the flowers, then Xi Er is still young."

"You …" Imperial Concubine Xiao was speechless. Her child was her eternal pain. Within the Imperial Palace, there had never been anyone who dared to act so impudently in front of her. Yan Xiaoxi was the first and last person in history.

After all these years, whoever offended her would not have a good ending.

Previously, he wanted to curry favor with Yan Xiaoxi and become her backer, a big tree that could stabilize his position. However, there were some people who didn't know what was good for them and wanted to provoke her to be patient.

If a tiger did not show off its might, it would be easy for people to treat it as a sick cat. Imperial Concubine Xiao had long discovered that Yan Xiaoxi did not appreciate her kindness.

Now that Liu Zhixue had become the Crown Prince's secondary wife, it was equivalent to opening up another path for her.

Then, her former backer would become a hindrance in her advance. Since she would not be able to become friends, she could only be an enemy.
