Chapter 111: Ambiguity escalates! Even this can't win you over?
Gu Guanyi heard that the two were about to quarrel and knelt down immediately, taking all the blame on himself. "Your Highness, please forgive me. That girl was a dancer given by the Marquis of Xiaoyue. She entered the palace half a year ago."
"But His Highness has been busy with government affairs and has not summoned her. She has been in a panic all day, thinking that she has offended His Highness in some way, so she took the risk. It is my fault for failing to supervise her properly and disturbing His Highness's peace. I hope Your Highness will punish me." As he said this, he bowed to the ground.
Wen Ziduan didn't yell, "You should ask the mistress about the affairs of the women in this palace. Why are you asking me?"
"Please, please forgive me, Princess Third Prince." Gu Guan turned around and knelt in front of He Zhaojun.
He Zhaojun uttered an "oh," "I'm not even married yet, so don't call me the Third Prince's consort... You are indeed guilty and deserve to be punished. Let me ask you, how many concubines are there in this palace?"
Hearing this, Wen Ziduan put down his teacup and looked at He Zhaojun. He even said this little girl wasn't jealous? It was clear she was using this opportunity to sell off all the concubines in the palace. He was delighted.
Gu Guan was stunned: "My lady, there are two concubines, a total of five concubines of various types, and..."
"Cough! Cough cough!" Wen Ziduan coughed, interrupting Gu Guan's words. Gu Guan then realized that he had spoken out of turn and quickly shut up, not saying anything more.
I usually thought it was not much, but when I said it today, why does it seem like too much?
He Zhaojun nodded and glanced at Wen Ziduan with a smile.
Why was she still coughing to remind Gu Guan? Did she think she was the kind of jealous woman who would drive all the concubines out of his house?
"Go down and compile a list for me. Also write down her age, where she is from, any relatives she has, and what she is good at. Give it to me tomorrow." He Zhaojun waved her hand and let Gu Guan retreat.
Gu Guanru was pardoned and hurried out to prepare the carriage.
That day, Wen Ziduan returned to the prince's mansion after court, and called Gu Guan over to ask him how the list was prepared and what he should say if He Zhaojun asked about it tomorrow.
"By the way, the room is too big. It's inconvenient to change clothes. Put a few more screens here." Wen Ziduan ordered.
Gu Guan suspected he had misheard. The place was too big, wasn't it inconvenient?
"A big one is inconvenient, but a small one is convenient?" Gu Guan muttered. Do you want it to be convenient for changing clothes or for giving benefits?
"Oh... then, should I order someone to bring in some vases to decorate it?" Gu Guan asked tentatively.
Wen Ziduan nodded. "That's a good idea. Put a few more, even better, so there's just enough space for two people to move around. I want to see if she can still tie my belt like this tomorrow."
"Also, change the carriage for me to a smaller one. The original one is too big." He Zhaojun sat so far away from him every day that even the corners of their clothes could not touch each other.
Gu Guan was speechless. When a prince traveled, there were naturally etiquettes. How could the carriage be arbitrarily reduced in size?
However, the Third Prince's order had to be carried out, so Gu Guan simply asked people to pile up a lot of soft pillows in the carriage. The space suddenly became small, and the two of them had to ride shoulder to shoulder.
On the second day, He Zhaojun came to serve Wen Zidan again, but today she did not see the crying concubines.
"Why are there so many screens and vases in the room? Wouldn't it be restrictive to dress here?" He Zhaojun looked at Wen Ziduan in confusion, not understanding what was going on in Sandan's brain.
What's more, the court robes are really heavy. A complete set weighs at least more than 20 kilograms. Wearing them for years and months requires a lot of effort.
"Why is the belt so short today?" He Zhaojun lowered her head to study it. It seemed that yesterday's method was no longer applicable.
