A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace-Chapter 1031: Too Late for Regret

"What are you talking about? You’re nothing more than the Prince’s concubine!"

"Look at you, all serious in that outfit, wearing bright red. Do you really think you’re the Princess Consort? It’s so laughable!"

The two maids yanked off her bright red wedding dress without a word.

Xia Ruyi hadn’t yet come to her senses when she felt a sharp tug on her body.

Looking down, she saw that her wedding gown had been stripped away, and the phoenix crown on her head fell off.

The carefully styled bun from an hour ago.

Now scattered messily across her shoulders, as if mocking her.

The two maids took away the bright red phoenix crown and red robe.

They tossed her a set of pink-red joy garments embroidered with magpies and a few pink peach blossom pins before leaving.

As they left, they coldly reminded her.

"Dress properly. You need to meet the new Princess Consort tonight!"

"Don’t embarrass yourself!"

With that, they left without looking back.

The custom of the Chu Dynasty.

Any concubine entering with the first wife must immediately set rules with the mistress, not a second less.

Which means...

From tonight, she is no longer the young lady, but a... penniless concubine?

Xia Ruyi showed no expression, her silence prolonged.

After a long while, she suddenly laughed.

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha ha!"

"Pan Zhu, this must be a dream, it must be a dream!"

"Isn’t the new Princess Consort me!"

"Where do I go to meet the new Princess Consort??"

"Those damned maids are really wicked!"

"When I, the Princess Consort, take charge, I’ll make sure someone rips their mouths apart!"

While she spoke, she seemed possessed, tossing the pink-red joy robe onto the ground and stomping on it.

"It’s not mine! This is not mine!"

Pan Zhu hurried to stop her.

"Miss!"

"Miss, wake up, be clear-headed Miss!"

"We... were deceived!"

"You’re not the Princess Consort, not even a Consort, but the lowest-ranking concubine!"

Pan Zhu, full of regret, had red-rimmed eyes!

Though the Miss was carried in on a palanquin.

It was only through the back gate, how high could her status be?

Unless she bore a child early and was highly favored, only then would she rise from concubine to Consort.

Otherwise... a concubine for life.

In the future in the Prince’s Mansion backyard, it’s almost a life at others’ mercy!

With Miss in such a low position, what fate does she, a concubine’s maid, have to speak of?

Thinking of this, Pan Zhu became terrified.

This could lead to losing one’s life!

"Impossible!"

Xia Ruyi glared angrily, fiercely grabbing Pan Zhu’s collar, eyes appearing to spit fire.

"I am the Princess Consort! I am the Princess Consort!"

"I..."

Before finishing her words, she rolled her eyes and fainted.

Pan Zhu was so frightened she lost her soul.

"Miss!"

"Miss, wake up, don’t scare me, Miss!"

Pan Zhu was so anxious that she was sweating all over.

"Someone! Someone, our Miss has fainted!"

"Someone!"

Pan Zhu helped her to the bed then rushed out to find someone.

However, she was unfamiliar with the place.

After stumbling around for a long time, she finally found a maid, and rushed forward without a care.

"Quick!"

"Please call a doctor, our Miss has fainted!"

Too frantic, she couldn’t complete her sentences.

The maid looked at her with disdain.

"Where did this crazy fat woman come from, we don’t have a Miss in our Prince’s Mansion!"

"Stop going mad here, go back where you came from!"

With that, she was about to leave.

Pan Zhu gasped and blocked her way.

"We, we just entered the Mansion today! Please, sister, please have mercy and get a doctor for our Miss!"

She clung tightly to the maid’s sleeve, begging.

The maid, curious about her words, sized her up.

"Your first day in the Mansion?"

"Are you one of the people of Maternal Aunt Xia?"

Pan Zhu immediately widened her eyes.

"Maternal Aunt Xia?"

"Yes!" the maid nodded.

"Today there was a concubine entering with the Princess Consort, don’t you know?"

Even though the truth was already known.

Pan Zhu’s body swayed.

She paused for a moment and then admitted.

"Yes! I belong to Maternal Aunt Xia, our... aunt has fainted, please, sister, could you kindly call a doctor!"

When she said ’aunt’, she hesitated, extremely reluctant to admit it.

Yet there’s no choice, it’s already a fact.

The maid sneered at her words.

"An aunt wanting a doctor, have you gone mad?"

"But it’s not surprising, new people not knowing the rules is normal!"

"You look familiar, let me point you the way!"

"There’s a female doctor in the backyard, she only treats servants, aunt is considered a servant, you can go to her for consultation!"

With that, the maid pulled out her sleeve and left.

Leaving Pan Zhu standing there, dumbfounded.

"Servant?"

"Miss... became a servant in this Mansion?"

"Then, what am I?"

In a daze for a while, noticing people coming and going looking at her.

Pan Zhu suddenly felt uncomfortable, quickly lowered her head and left hastily.

...

Returning the same way.

Upon entry, she found the Miss had woken.

Pan Zhu, delighted, approached.

"Miss, you’ve finally awakened!"

Xia Ruyi’s eyes were vacant, red and swollen, it was clear she had cried.

Pan Zhu too started to cry.

"Miss!"

"Things have come to this, you must take care of your health!" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"There’s truth in the saying, better a bad life than a good death, isn’t it?"

Xia Ruyi’s originally vacant gaze suddenly turned fierce, she abruptly sat up.

"No!"

"No!"

"It’s not over yet!"

"I won’t give up, I absolutely won’t give up!"

"Pan Zhu, pack up, we’re leaving!"

She spoke as she hurriedly began packing.

Pan Zhu urgently stopped her, begging with tears.

"Miss!"

"We have nowhere to go!"

"A married daughter is like water splashed out, you’ve been carried out of Xia Residence in a bright red palanquin, you absolutely can’t go back!"

Xia Ruyi’s gaze suddenly turned cold.

"Can’t go back, then we’ll run away!"

"I absolutely refuse to be a concubine!"

"Miss!"

"Wake up please!" Pan Zhu continued to weep.

"This is the Prince’s Mansion, heavily guarded, how could the two of us weak women possibly escape!"

"Besides, under heaven, all land is the king’s, where could we flee!"

Xia Ruyi’s gaze dimmed a bit more.

She stubbornly held onto her resolve, gritting her teeth.

"The Chu Dynasty won’t accept us, then we’ll flee abroad!"

"I would rather die than ever become a concubine!"

Pan Zhu shook her head and advised.

"Miss, you’re right, we could flee abroad!"

"But don’t forget, the master and madam are still here, the third young master too, if you leave what about them?"

One sentence, Xia Ruyi was left speechless.

Yes, if she leaves what happens to them?

The betrothal gifts have been received, the items taken.

If she escapes, would the Royal Family not retaliate.

Would Hai Feng be pleased.

Right, Hai Feng!

Her sight suddenly sparked, her body turned instantly cold.

"It’s her! So it was her!"

"It’s all her doing!"

"She conspired with Empress Dowager Zhen, they’re the ones who set me up!"
