Chapter 109: The Concubine in the Third Prince's Bedroom? Don't Leave
Concubine Yue shook her head. "If he didn't have you in his heart, he would have taken you away long ago. He wouldn't have let you leave at night, keeping you in his room. You only went there in the morning and attended court with him. This didn't violate etiquette. Don't feel bad about it."
"No matter what the reason, since you've already agreed to marry Ziduan, you'll be the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and naturally different from ordinary couples. I know you're a sensible child, but you have to find a way to keep this man, so that you can live your life from now on."
He Zhaojun opened her mouth. Is this what Wen Ziduan's mother should say? Before she even married him, she was already teaching herself how to hold Wen Ziduan.
Concubine Yue whispered to her, "Ziduan has always been obsessed with the idea that Your Majesty and I were childhood sweethearts, and we were incredibly close. He's always felt that if he couldn't find a partner like Your Majesty and I, he'd rather play around in the world."
"So, no matter whether it's true or not, you just need to pretend to be truly in love with him, and he will treat you well, just like His Majesty does." Concubine Yue smiled at He Zhaojun, "However, I still hope from the bottom of my heart that you can have a true relationship."
"By the way, since you're going to accompany Ziduan all the way to court, you can skip the morning greetings. I can't get up too early."
——
At 11:00 AM on the second day, at the Third Prince's Mansion.
"Young lady, you are here." The attendant Gu Guan had a bitter face.
This morning at Yinzheng, the honorable Third Prince began to make everyone in the mansion turn upside down. Those on duty had no way to complain.
Not only did he have to look like he wasn't awake, but he also had to look dignified and more imposing than when he was in court. Someone also had to be found to see how he looked when he was sleeping.
He Zhaojun gave him a strange look: "Why, His Highness the Third Prince hasn't woken up yet?"
The attendant remembered the Third Prince's instructions and shook his head like a rattle: "No, the Third Prince should still be asleep now."
He Zhaojun uttered an "oh" and walked all the way inside. Just as she reached the main house, she saw a teacup flying out of the house, heading straight for her face. He Zhaojun slightly turned sideways and pulled the dazed Gu Guan over. The teacup shattered behind them with a "clang".
Wen Ziduan's low curse came from the room: "What are you doing here? Get back to the backyard right now!" Then, a woman's whimpering and wailing were heard, accompanied by the sound of slaps.
He Zhaojun tilted her head to look at the attendant. "Your Highness has woken up. Ask for more tea... Ask for chrysanthemum tea to cool down your fever."
Gu Guan let out an "ah", and He Zhaojun seemed to feel something was wrong as well. She said hesitantly, "How about adding some wolfberries to replenish it?" After saying that, she stepped into the main house.
"Your humble servant pays her respects to the Third Prince." He Zhaojun pretended not to notice the concubine kneeling and crying beside her. She paid her respects to Wen Ziduan with a calm expression. In fact, her fists were clenched in her sleeves.
Why is this guy hitting people so early in the morning?
Wen Ziduan's face turned pale and blue, and he kicked the concubine: "Why don't you get out of here?!"
He Zhaojun reached out to stop her, lifted the concubine's face, gently wiped the tears from her face, and said in a kind voice: "What's your name?"
The concubine cried even louder and kowtowed repeatedly: "I was bewildered for a moment. I heard that the Third Prince was waiting for someone to serve me this morning, so I went to the front yard to try my luck. I have never seen His Highness before in my life since I entered the Third Prince's residence..."
Wen Ziduan's expression became even worse: "Shut up!"
He Zhaojun scratched her head. "Who asked you that? I've never helped anyone change clothes, let alone know how to wear the prince's court robes. I wanted to ask you, but it seems you don't understand either."
Without saying a word, Gu Guan dragged the concubine out of the room. Only He Zhaojun and Wen Ziduan were left in the huge bedroom, staring at each other.
