Long Live the Empress

Chapter 252 Concubine Enters the Back Door

Just like that, Yue Jinghong arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion in disgrace, carrying three loads of worthless dowry and enduring the curses of the people.

The gate of the Prince's Mansion was closed, and only four soldiers were guarding the door with long swords. "Who is it?"

"Sir, today is the day my young lady enters the Prince's Mansion. Please let her in!" Zhenzhu took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and stuffed it into the hands of one of the soldiers.

Unexpectedly, the soldier not only did not accept it, but also pushed Zhenzhu aside. "Go away, didn't your master teach you the rules? A concubine wants to enter through the front door? There's the back door!"

back door?

Yue Jinghong walked out of the sedan chair despite Zhenzhu's attempts to stop her, "I want to see the prince!"

The officers and soldiers were as motionless as wooden men, let alone reporting.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" All of Yue Jinghong's grievances poured out and she cried out to the Crown Prince.

"squeak!"

After a long while, the door finally opened. Yue Jinghong looked up in surprise and said, "Your Highness knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be reluctant to leave..."

Yue Jinghong's words stopped abruptly, and there was disbelief in her eyes.

Fan Ronghua, dressed as a woman, appeared at the door. She held a snow-white silk handkerchief in her hand, which was very dazzling in the dark night. "Sister Jinghong, what's going on?"

Yue Jinghong pursed her lips and said nothing.

Fan Ronghua shouted, "What's going on?"

The guard at the door clasped his fists and saluted, "Madam Fan, Madam Yue refused to enter the mansion through the back door and insisted on seeing His Highness. Your subordinates did not dare to stop her..."

Fan Ronghua said "Oh" as if she had suddenly realized something, and walked down the stairs. She personally helped Yue Jinghong up from her kneeling position, and wiped the dust off her face with a handkerchief while saying, "Sister, I'm not saying anything to you as your elder sister! We concubines have to leave, and we know that this main entrance is reserved for the future Crown Princess. We are not even concubines, so how can we be qualified to enter the same door as the Crown Princess?"

Yue Jinghong knew about this, but she was unwilling to give in. She also thought that since she was the most talented woman in the capital, the prince would at least take her into consideration. Unexpectedly...

Seeing Yue Jinghong's pale face and speechless face due to anger, Fan Ronghua felt secretly happy: "Sister, are you feeling better? Someone came to report last night that you had abdominal pain, and the prince was worried sick. But when he came back from your house, he said that you had lied to him. What happened? But now that I see your face is glowing, I can rest assured!"

"You!" Yue Jinghong was upset when she saw Fan Ronghua going too far. "Sister, don't forget what day it is today! From now on, you and I will see each other again!"

Fan Ronghua patted his forehead as if he had suddenly realized something, and said apologetically, "Look, it's all my fault. I delayed my sister's marriage. Come, bring Aunt Yue into the mansion. You guys count out Aunt Yue's dowry and carry it to her courtyard!"

"Replying to Aunt Fan!" A servant came forward holding a booklet, "I have just finished counting. Aunt Yue's dowry is three loads."

"Hahahahaha..." Fan Ronghua covered her mouth and laughed. "Don't get me wrong, sister. I'm definitely not making fun of you! Hahaha, quickly... quickly carry it to her yard. One person can steal such a small thing! Make sure to hide it well! Hahaha..."

The onlookers also laughed and pointed at Yue Jinghong.

Yue Jinghong was already feeling resentful, and now she was being humiliated in public by Fan Ronghua. She felt a fishy and sweet taste in her throat, and a stream of bright red blood gushed out.
