Although she was scared, she had no choice but to face the fact.
"Madam, please slow down!" The maid supported Shuzhen's hand, afraid that she might lose her balance and fall.
"How can I be slow? What's wrong with Prince Hongshi? Why is he treating me like a servant girl?" Shuzhen said angrily. She wished she could stand in front of Hongshi right now and ask him what was going on.
In no time at all, the master and servant had reached the door of the study in the front yard.
"Madam, the Prince has ordered that he will not see anyone at this time," said Hongshi's personal servant, who was guarding the door, upon seeing Shuzhen arrive.
"You insolent thing, how dare you stop the Princess Consort from seeing the Prince?" Cuiyu, Shuzhen's personal maid, scolded.
"This servant wouldn't dare, it's just that His Highness gave the order, and this servant is only following orders." The servant lowered his head, not daring to look at Ulanara Shuzhen's face.
"Get out of the way!" Upon hearing this, Shuzhen reached out and slapped the servant across the face.
"Smack!"
A loud sound rang out. The servant was surprised that the princess consort would hit him so suddenly. In fact, Ulanara Shuzhen was just full of anger and had nowhere to vent it. This servant was just unlucky.
Shuzhen pushed open the study door and went in, where she saw Hongshizhen standing at the table writing with a woman's arm around her waist.
That posture, that expression, was so maddening.
Hongshi had never treated him like this before, even though he was raising the son of the Irgen clan for him!
"Your Highness!" Shuzhen managed to call out calmly, suppressing her immense bitterness and anger.
Hongshi then released the maid and said rather awkwardly, "Shuzhen, I've already sent someone to deliver the message, why did you come in person?"
Shuzhen glanced at the woman standing next to Hongshi and saw that she was indeed quite beautiful. She had never known that Hongshi had such a beautiful maid. If she had known, she would never have put such a vixen in the front yard.
"Your Highness, I find it utterly inappropriate to take Linlang as your princess. Miss Linlang, what is your background? How can you be Your Highness's princess?" Shuzhen said to Linlang, barely suppressing her raging anger.
“This matter has nothing to do with her. It was the master who wanted to make her a princess.” Hongshi naturally saw Shuzhen’s hostility towards Linlang and quickly defended her.
Shuzhen suppressed her bitterness and said, "Your Highness, the princesses of the princes must be women personally chosen by the Emperor and the Empress. Miss Linlang is just a palace maid from a tenant farmer's family. How can she be Your Highness's princess? Please reconsider!"
Hongshi was taken aback, and after a moment of thought, he said, "What the princess says makes sense! Linlang, then you will have to be my concubine."
This concubine's status was far inferior to that of a princess, but for a palace maid like her, it was still a stroke of luck.
"This servant thanks Your Highness and Your Highness!" Linlang bowed her head and greeted you.
"You may step back now. I will discuss this with my wife," Hongshi said.
After Linlang left, tears welled up in Shuzhen's eyes. However, Hongshi had already favored Linlang, so she had no choice but to accept it. Fortunately, due to her persistence, Hongshi only took her as a concubine.
Ulanara Shuzhen had no choice but to arrange a courtyard for Linlang to stay in. To the outside world, she had to put on the appearance of a magnanimous mistress, but in secret, Linlang had become a thorn in her side.
