Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

The three of them lingered for a while longer before leaving the pavilion together and heading to Yuan Mengli's courtyard.

As for what will happen after they go to Yuan Mengli's house, it's obvious without even thinking about it.

Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince were not about to eavesdrop on the three people's bedchamber talk. They stood up from under the artificial hill with expressions of lingering interest.

Instead of going to the pavilion where they had stayed, they wandered around the courtyard.

Yuan Yingshuang looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Ying Yufu looked at Yuan Yingshuang with a smile and said, "Madam Yuan and Madam Yuan are truly two good sisters-in-law."

Yuan Yingshuang: "..."

Yuan Yingshuang forced a smile upon hearing this blatant mockery.

She looked at Ying Yufu meaningfully and said, "What Princess Anguo said is very true. As a woman, being generous and virtuous is a virtue."

Ying Yufu: "?"

Ying Yufu's eyes widened instantly, as if she had smelled excrement.

The Crown Prince also glanced at Yuan Yingshuang with surprise, his expression rather indescribable.

Yuan Yingshuang was overjoyed; the Crown Prince had taken notice of her!

The Crown Prince must have been moved by her virtuous and generous words!

What man in this world doesn't hope to meet a sensible and considerate woman?

Yuan Yingshuang seemed to have grasped something; she immediately became confident. She smiled slightly and said, "Princess Anguo, I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Would you mind if we stepped aside?"

Ying Yufu looked at her, and she had a gut feeling that Yuan Yingshuang probably wouldn't say anything nice.

But she's like a curious cat; the more she knows, the more curious she becomes.

She wanted to hear what other explosive things she could say.

The Yuan family is full of oddballs!

So, Ying Yufu followed Yuan Yingshuang to the artificial hill not far away.

The crown prince graciously refrained from following, but he couldn't help but prick up his ears.

"What do you want to say to me?" Ying Yufu asked Yuan Yushuang curiously.

Yuan Yingshuang looked at Ying Yufu. This Princess of Anguo was truly beautiful and lovely, and also had a lively and otherworldly charm.

They seem easy to mess with.

With no more reservations, Yuan Yingshuang spoke softly, "Princess Anguo, in the future, besides you, the Crown Prince will also have concubines, mistresses, and maids."

Once he ascends to that throne, his harem will be filled with countless beauties.

Ying Yufu looked at her in surprise, "Miss Yuan, you called me here just to talk about this?"

Yuan Yingshuang said, "Princess Anguo, I know you may not be happy to hear this from you."

But isn't that the truth?

"so?"

Yuan Yingshuang revealed her purpose: "Princess Anguo, since the Crown Prince is destined to have more than just you as his woman, why don't you start planning for yourself now?"

The Yuan family and the Shangguan family are related by marriage, and you and I are also relatives. Why don't we help each other and join forces to become the most favored woman in the Crown Prince's palace!

Ying Yufu stared at her in shock.

"You want to enter the Eastern Palace?"

"Yes, I want to be the Crown Prince's concubine, Princess Anguo. I promise I will get along with you peacefully; in fact, we're in the same boat. In the future, I will be your greatest asset!"

Ying Yufu remained silent.

She looked at Yuan Yingshuang and said, "First of all, I will not be on the same boat as you."

Secondly, you will not be my best help; you will only scheme against me, just like now.

Furthermore, what makes you think that someone like me, with His Majesty and the Crown Prince, as well as the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and the Mu family as my backers, would need your assistance?

Yuan Yingshuang was stunned.

She never expected that Ying Yufu would reject her kindness.

She shook her head and smiled helplessly: "Princess Anguo, I know you have the right to be proud. In your eyes, I am just the daughter of a fifth-rank official."

But the Crown Prince will eventually marry a concubine, won't he?

Why can't he marry someone else? Why can't he have me?

Princess Anguo, if you can help me get the Crown Prince to accept me, I promise you, I will definitely become your ally!

[Host, I heard everything Yuan Yingshuang was doing in the system space.]

Ying Yufu largely agreed: "Right? It was incredibly loud!"

Ying Yufu looked at Yuan Yingshuang with a sincere expression and said, "Miss Yuan, I don't know whether the Crown Prince will take a concubine or not, but before that, I will definitely not keep male favorites."

Yuan Yingshuang: "?"

What did she hear?

Was she hallucinating because she was so shocked by her father and second uncle?

The crown prince vaguely heard the words "male concubine".

His relaxed expression immediately turned serious.

What's going on? Is that Miss Yuan going to introduce a gigolo to Fu'er?

This won't do!

Could any of the male concubines she introduced be as good as him, the crown prince?

The Crown Prince's expression changed instantly. He could no longer restrain himself and strode forward, possessively pulling Ying Yufu into his arms.

He glared at Yuan Yingshuang with hostility: "Miss Yuan, give up your idea!"

"Between me and Fu'er, not just anyone can interfere!"

After saying that, the Crown Prince domineeringly took Ying Yufu's arm and left.

Yuan Yingshuang stood there, stunned, her face pale.

The Crown Prince... was so heartless and cold towards her.

Was he telling her that he wouldn't take a concubine?

Yuan Yingshuang's eyes reddened. The dignified Crown Prince was actually so infatuated with Princess Anguo.

The more she discovered his good qualities, the more she couldn't control her feelings.

After enjoying the spectacle, Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince returned to the banquet hall.

Yuan Fuhai expressed his concern once again.

After the banquet ended, Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince returned to their respective courtyards.

Just as Ying Yufu was about to push open the door and enter, Princess Mingluan walked over with a group of servants, sneering.

"Ying Yufu, don't be so smug. So what if you have the Crown Prince protecting you? This is Yuzhou, not the capital."

A blatant threat.

Ying Yufu narrowed her eyes slightly and replied, "Yes, Princess Mingluan, this is Yuzhou, not the imperial city."

She returned the words to her.

Mingluan's eyes immediately turned cold and sharp.

"Hmph, just you wait and see." Mingluan glared at Ying Yufu with a sinister look, then stepped into the house.

Ying Yufu was not afraid of her and calmly entered the house.

Chong'er was with Xue Fengjun, and the people serving Ying Yufu were all servants from the Yuan family.

After washing up and resting, Ying Yufu quickly fell asleep.

But she woke up again not long after.

There's no other reason than that she possesses exceptional senses, and is particularly acutely aware of danger.

The incense burner inside smelled unusual, and there were footsteps approaching very quietly.

Ying Yufu closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

She suddenly remembered that Mingluan had told her earlier that there were flower thieves in Yuzhou.

Could he be a womanizer?

The person reached out and gently pushed her.

It seemed like he was trying to test how soundly she was sleeping.

Seeing that she showed no signs of waking up, the person boldly pushed her twice more, this time with more force than before.

Ying Yufu remained unconscious, her breathing steady.

The newcomer was relieved, scooped her up, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and broke through the window to escape.

Ying Yufu was thrown into a carriage, which left the Yuan residence and headed into the city.

After traveling for a short while, the carriage arrived at a manor, where someone quickly came out to greet them.

"Did you get the person?" the man asked in a low voice.

"Got it. Where's Master Wen?" the person carrying Ying Yufu asked.

"Master Wen is talking to the young master. Take him to the east wing. The young master will be there in a moment."

"it is good."

The door creaked open, and Ying Yufu was thrown into a room.

After everyone left, Ying Yufu opened her eyes and looked around the room.
