After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Chapter 240 Too busy to take care of yourself

However, Cui Yunhe, who got off the carriage behind, was full of sarcasm in her words: "No ordinary woman would do such a thing. Who would be willing to shamefully show up in public like this? They are just some shameless women of humble origins."

Upon hearing this, Princess Xuan gently rebuked him. Although her voice was soft, it contained a hint of blame: "Mr. Xue, how can you be so mean? Not everyone is born into a wealthy family. Everyone has their own frustrations. Why do you have to use your own standards to measure others?"

Cui Yunhe's face flashed with embarrassment, and she reluctantly agreed: "My sister taught me a lesson."

However, the gloom and hatred in her eyes when she looked at Cui Rong became increasingly intense.

In her heart, it was this woman in front of her who caused her to lose her engagement with Song Yanyi. Why could she still be so successful?

She felt that Cui Rong must pay the price for this!

At this moment, Concubine Zhuo at the side snorted lightly, saying with disdain: "Look at your tolerance. You are so fussy about a merchant's daughter. You are a recognized talented woman in the capital."

Concubine Zhuo, as a concubine in Prince Xuan's palace who already had children, had a stable status.

Although Cui Yunhe was the new favorite, she also caused Concubine Zhuo to feel jealous. Especially since King Xuan had been staying at Cui Yunhe's place frequently recently, the undercurrent between the two of them became even more intense.

Faced with Concubine Zhuo's sarcasm, Cui Yunhe felt mixed emotions and her anger almost broke through the shackles of reason, but she knew very well that this was not a place to do whatever she wanted and any carelessness would lead to disaster, so she could only suppress her anger.

Cui Rongrong led everyone up the stairs and into the private room on the second floor.

Concubine Zhuo showed great interest in the pearl powder and beauty cream displayed in the store, and told the maid to order one of each.

Princess Xuan focused on selecting all kinds of nourishing herbs and exquisite medicated foods. On the surface, everyone seemed to be having a good time, but in fact, everyone had their own calculations and concerns in their hearts.

At this moment, Cui Yunhe took the opportunity to move and quietly walked to Cui Rongrong's side, with a cold smile on his face: "I heard that you were kicked out of the Xie Mansion. I thought you would choose a path of no return for your vanity, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless and continue to live in this world."

Cui Rongrong responded with a gentle but firm smile, and said in a calm and powerful tone: "Don't worry, I will definitely enjoy the fireworks of this world longer than you."

Cui Yunhe's teeth were clattering, and his words were full of hatred: "What do you have to be proud of? You are a poor abandoned creature. Your former glory has long been gone. Even Master Song has abandoned you like a piece of trash."

Cui Rongrong raised her eyebrows slightly and asked sharply: "Did he choose you in the end?"

This question hit Cui Yunhe's heart directly, and her face suddenly turned pale.

"You! Don't think I dare not make public the dirty things you did in the Song family. Let's see how you will deal with it when the time comes!"

Cui Rongrong's smile was tinged with a hint of sternness: "I have always been upright and have never done anything shameful. I am afraid that you are just anxious and making random guesses."

Although her voice was gentle, it faintly revealed a power that should not be underestimated: "The Xie family attaches great importance to reputation, so you should be careful with your words. The situation in the court is unpredictable now, but you are deliberately trying to discredit the Xie family. Aren't you afraid of angering them and causing unnecessary trouble?"

A layer of frost suddenly condensed on Cui Yunhe's face, and the originally soft lines seemed to be quietly covered by the first snow of winter, revealing an imperceptible coldness.

At this moment, Princess Xuan and Concubine Zhuo had completed their careful selection, followed by a group of maids, each holding various rare treasures in their hands. The glittering jewels and precious stones revealed the magnificence of the palace.

Concubine Zhuo's eyes moved among the dazzling array of merchandise, and then gently fell on Cui Yunhe. She raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and spoke slowly with a hint of imperceptible provocation.

"Sister Jiang, is there nothing here that you like?"

There is both exploration and banter in the words.

Cui Yunhe frowned slightly when she heard this, and her face became even more unhappy. She responded indifferently, with a cold and hard voice that kept people away, "Thank you for your kindness, Concubine. I don't need it."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhuo's smile deepened, and her words were mixed with subtle sarcasm, "That's right, Sister Jiang is in the prime of her life, and these vulgar things are naturally not worthy of her attention."

There is both praise and sharp comparison in the words.

Who would dare to object to the supplements personally selected by the princess?

Even though Concubine Zhuo was extremely unwilling, she had no choice but to obey.

Cui Yunhe saw all of this. She forced a smile, but the bitterness in it was hard to hide. "It really doesn't suit my taste, that's all."

"In that case, let's go back home first."

When Princess Xuan's voice sounded, a barely perceptible impatience flashed across her dignified face. She was obviously dissatisfied with the subtle atmosphere between the two concubines. She turned around and left, unwilling to stay any longer.

Cui Yunhe and Concubine Zhuo looked at each other, each with their own thoughts, and had to follow silently.

A group of maids followed closely behind in a hurry. Suddenly, one of the maids stumbled and the brocade box in her hand slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground with a thud. An exquisite scroll painting slipped out of it.

"Oh, how could you be so careless! This is a valuable item!"

The maidservant beside her scolded immediately in an anxious tone.

In the midst of the panic, Cui Rong quickly stepped forward, bent down and picked up the painting that had accidentally fallen.

Slowly unfolding, a magnificent ink painting comes into view, with magnificent mountains and rivers, and shrouded in clouds and mist, as if it can absorb people's minds into the world in the painting.

Upon hearing the voice, Princess Xuan turned back, showing some interest in her eyes. She took the scroll from Cui Rongrong and examined it carefully.

"This painting is extremely exquisite. I wonder which master created it?"

Cui Rongrong's questions were full of curiosity and admiration.

Princess Xuan's eyes were cold and deep, but at this moment, there was a rare warmth flickering in them, "This is what I painted in my spare time."

After saying this, her sight seemed to penetrate time and space and return to that long-lost memory.

Cui Rong was a little surprised after hearing this. She was stunned for a moment, then she understood some of the inside story.

Princess Xuan's eyes flashed for a moment, and she returned to silence. "That was a long time ago. I haven't written for a long time."

She gently rolled up the scroll again, and in a corner, beautiful small characters appeared on the paper - "Chen Qinghan".

The name is just like the person, fresh and elegant, which makes people admire him.

After the people from Prince Xuan's Mansion left, Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief, "I was really scared, I was afraid that Cui Yunhe would cause trouble for the girl again!"

Cui Rong retracted her gaze and smiled softly, "I think she is busy with her own affairs, so why would she bother to embarrass me?"
