Chapter 1108 - 18: Cuckolding the Prince

The box of pearls ultimately did not reach Tianmiao’s hands; instead, some other valuable items were sent. Prince Kang naturally knew about the farce of that day and that the Princess would certainly find out. Sending those pearls over would only make the Princess angry, so he replaced them with other things.

Tianmiao didn’t care about these things. Looking at several boxes of treasures sent to her, she casually selected a few pieces of jewelry and rewarded them to a few servant girls.

...

The Empress Dowager’s birthday was approaching.

Since Tianmiao was Prince Kang’s Princess, she naturally had to enter the palace to offer birthday congratulations, and according to the rules, she also had to bring the Concubine.

However, Prince Kang knew that the Princess would not easily agree, so he came to discuss the matter with Tianmiao, saying a lot of good words, hoping Tianmiao would bring the Concubine into the palace. Though Concubine Qin had successfully married into the Prince Kang Mansion, she had not yet entered the circle of noblewomen. This was a good opportunity. Because he liked Concubine Qin so much, he truly wanted others to acknowledge her. But due to Concubine Qin’s background, she didn’t understand the dynamics, so he had to handle it.

Tianmiao smiled, "No. I refuse."

Prince Kang frowned, "But according to the rules, the Princess must bring the Concubine into the palace."

"I don’t follow that rule, so what?" Tianmiao shook the fan in her hand, saying with a smile, "You better keep to your small household affairs, and we’ll remain peaceful. But if you disgust me, don’t blame me for being rude. You’ve perhaps been under the illusion lately that I’m easy to talk to?"

Prince Kang looked at the Princess, smiling yet speaking with sharp words, and suddenly felt that the Princess before him was somewhat unfamiliar.

"Tell your sweetheart not to provoke me. Otherwise, I don’t know what I might do. Don’t forget, my skills are better than yours." Tianmiao pointed at the door with her fan, "Now, leave."

"Are you threatening me? You actually dare to threaten me?" Prince Kang looked at Tianmiao incredulously. Did she intend to fight with him by that tone?

"Yes." Tianmiao replied with a smile.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open. Concubine Qin entered angrily, walked to Prince Kang’s side, and, holding his arm, glared at Tianmiao, "Prince, do not plead with her. Let’s go, I’ll enter the palace myself."

Tianmiao’s face turned somber.

"Is this a place you deserve?" Tianmiao stood up, coldly looking at the intruding Concubine Qin.

"Presumptuous!" Tianmiao’s four servant girls reprimanded in unison. A Concubine dared to barge into the Princess’s room, and shout too.

"A few servants dare to shout at me?" Concubine Qin looked at the four servant girls in disbelief. How could these servant girls dare to rebuke her, a concubine, in such a strict feudal world?

"Get out." Tianmiao sat down, saying coldly. But those words were directed at Prince Kang.

Concubine Qin watched the Princess completely ignoring her, furious inside. Having snatched her husband, what was she still so proud about? Just a cast-out wife! Now everyone knew she was Prince Kang’s favored one. How dare she speak to Prince Kang like this, not fearing even more aversion from him? A woman discarded by her husband, what could she possibly rely on?

"Let’s go." Surprisingly, Prince Kang did not get angry, he just said this blandly and turned to leave.

"Wait! These servant girls actually humiliated me, and you’re just leaving?" Concubine Qin shouted angrily.
