Chapter 106: Fighting on the bedside, fighting under the bed
“Wait!”
He Zhaojun grabbed her hand and said, "I'll change it for you, please don't make things difficult for Old Lady Bai." As she spoke, she stepped into the side hall, where the plain dress was already prepared.
"What? I won't take it off! Just put on my outer robe!" The third princess was very domineering. Maybe she didn't want to take off her gorgeous outer robe, or maybe she couldn't take it off?
Thinking of this, He Zhaojun took the opportunity to change her outer clothes to reach out and touch her back and shoulder blades, and then glanced at her neck and wrists. Sure enough, she found a not very obvious bruise under the collar of her outer clothes.
She sighed inwardly, once again lamenting the cruelty of fate. The glamorous Third Princess also had some unknown secrets behind her.
After seeing off the Third Princess, He Zhaojun had no time to think about the troubles she had faced from the other girls. Princess Ruyang would undoubtedly show up uninvited and cause a scene at the family banquet.
Thinking of this, He Zhaojun decided to inform Concubine Yue first. Concubine Yue looked at her with a smile and said, "Why, are you afraid that the old witch will bully Shao Shang, so you asked me to come to her rescue?"
He Zhaojun did not deny it: "Nothing can be hidden from Concubine Yue."
She followed Concubine Yue all the way to the family banquet and mentioned the unusual behavior of the Third Princess on the way: "Just now, I noticed a subtle bruise below the Third Princess's collarbone. I wonder what caused it?"
Concubine Yue paused when she heard this: "Why, she asked you to change her clothes, and you wouldn't refuse?"
He Zhaojun shook her head repeatedly: "I have no intention of complaining, I am just worried about the Third Princess and want to share your worries."
Concubine Yue shook her head. "That's because you don't understand Sanniang yet. To tell you the truth, have you ever seen Prince Consort Xuan? He only has a few days a month without scars on his face. Neither he nor his wife is a good man or a faithful woman. You don't have to worry about her."
He Zhaojun nodded in confusion, thinking it was domestic violence, but it turned out to be a mutual fight.
"You still have the mind to think about other people's affairs. Have you and Ziduan reconciled?" Concubine Yue looked at He Zhaojun with a smile. What happened between the two of them could be hidden from others, but definitely not from her.
He Zhaojun chuckled, "Your Highness the Third Prince and I have never quarreled, let alone reconciled."
"Really?" Concubine Yue didn't object. She didn't want to interfere too much in the affairs of her younger generation, but she was even more unwilling to watch two people who could support each other become a couple of grudges. "Then why do you like Ziduan?"
This question startled He Zhaojun, and many answers emerged in her mind. He was a prince, and he had never been entangled with any woman. He was a man of great decisiveness, and he was proficient in both civil and military strategies...
Apart from not liking himself, I can't find any other significant shortcomings of this person.
After hesitating for a moment, He Zhaojun stole a glance at Concubine Yue: "His face. The Third Prince is very handsome and has won my heart."
Even if this wasn't the correct answer, it certainly wasn't the wrong one. Sure enough, Concubine Yue smiled happily upon hearing this: "This is the same reason I chose Your Majesty. It seems many things are already predetermined."
At this point, she changed the subject: "I originally wanted to let you leave the palace, but even if you left, there's still the He family. You certainly wouldn't abandon your father and brother. I was inconsiderate and thought that this way, you could live freely."
He Zhaojun was deeply grateful that Concubine Yue dared to fight for her despite Emperor Wen's pressure: "This is the path I chose. No matter what, I will not give up."
Concubine Yue took her hand and said, "Since that's the case, why not try another approach... My father and brothers have their own battles, and you have yours to fight." As she spoke, she stood in front of the main hall door and turned to look at He Zhaojun. "Just look at what I'm doing."
