Fang Xuan shook his head.
He was just a nobody before, how could he possibly have the money to buy a house in the capital? Besides, he always lived in a military tent, all alone, so what use was a house for him?
Shen Wangshu rolled his eyes and hurriedly said, "I have a house in the capital, it's especially nice and beautiful. If you don't have one, why don't you stay there?" This must be what they mean by keeping a mistress in a golden house, right? The Prince of Luan felt even more satisfied.
So this is what the emperor felt when he arranged for his wife to live in a mansion.
Fang Xuan nodded without hesitation.
He actually liked that this stunningly beautiful woman kept everything about him to herself. However, he was a reserved person and dared not admit it, so he could only continue to carry things for Shen Wangshu diligently.
The incredibly strong General Fang even took on the chores of the maids in the Prince Luan's mansion. Only after bidding a reluctant farewell to Shen Wangshu did he turn back towards the capital, looking back repeatedly. Shen Wangshu watched him walk away in silence, then sighed deeply and returned to the mansion with her own maids. Without so many handsome young men, the mansion felt empty and desolate.
Shen Wangshu actually thought that the Third Princess knew how to enjoy life.
They also know that the entire palace is full of eye-catching beauties.
“Your Highness, perhaps…” A maid who had served the Third Princess since childhood saw Shen Wangshu looking at the quiet garden in silence. After hesitating for a moment, she stepped forward to observe her expression and said softly, “If Your Highness does not like those beauties, our garden does not need to be so simple. Why not buy some good opera troupes and listen to operas from time to time? Wouldn’t that make it more lively?”
Knowing that the Third Princess had given birth, she naturally wouldn't advise her to buy more handsome young men. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "What Your Highness said makes some sense. Before the proper consort enters the palace..."
She didn't dare say anything more, fearing that the Third Princess would be offended by so much advice.
That's how the eldest princess and the third princess separated back then.
"There's no need for actors. Find more cooks, the best ones, bring in a few good ones from all over the country."
Shen Wangshu's words immediately stunned the maid.
"cook?"
"Ah Xuan endured wind and rain in the military camp outside, which was extremely hard for him."
"He's a man, and he's always been careless with himself. How can his body take it?" Shen Wangshu sighed, wincing in pain, as she leaned gracefully against the stone bridge in the garden. "He doesn't know his own condition, so I can only cherish him more, at least making sure he eats and uses the finest things."
Fang Xuan didn't mention his family, but judging from his long-term military service, it was clear he wasn't close to his family. Seeing him all alone, Shen Wangshu felt even more sorry for him.
In those previous worlds, Ah Xuan also had discord with his family, and therefore they never spoke to each other again.
However, Shen Wangshu felt that Fang Xuan in this life was even more heartbreaking.
Because this is a world that is particularly harsh on men, the fact that Fang Xuan, a man, was able to stand firm in this world shows how much hard work he has put in.
"I'm glad Your Highness likes it." The maid nodded, thinking the cook was alright, but couldn't help asking, "Do you really like General Fang?"
“Is there any fake affection?” Shen Wangshu snorted. “Hurry up and get the house tidied up, and send a few honest men over to take care of him.” She paused, then added pettily, “We need boys to go.”
Well... even if you call a maid to serve him, she wouldn't be able to bring herself to kiss General Fang, given his appearance. The maid was speechless and silently agreed.
"When I get married, you must treat General Fang the same way you would treat me." These maids were all disciplined by the eldest princess in the past. They were loyal and efficient. With just one word from Shen Wangshu, cooks from all over the country were gathered in the palace. The commotion was so great that even the empress was alarmed and ordered Shen Wangshu to come to the palace for questioning.
Shen Wangshu dressed herself up in a flamboyant and extravagant manner, making herself as dazzling as possible before entering the palace. Upon entering, she saw that the Empress's complexion was exceptionally radiant, and she seemed to be in a very good mood. She smiled and stepped forward to pay her respects.
The Empress also loved to look at her exceptionally beautiful daughter. Seeing Shen Wangshu's lavish attire, she nodded even more, but still smiled and said, "Too extravagant."
Unlike the eldest and second princesses who were tense in front of the Empress, Shen Wangshu smiled and sat to her left, saying, "As the Empress's daughter, wouldn't it be shameful not to be a little extravagant? You are rich enough to allow your daughter to be extravagant, aren't you?"
She heard the Empress laugh loudly, then said plaintively, "It is indeed a waste of money. As you know, some time ago I spent a considerable sum of money to send away all the beauties in the manor. Now I am just putting on a show." The Prince of Luan's ostentatious dismissal of all the servants drew attention from everyone.
The Empress heard about it and suddenly asked, "Could it be that General Fang can't tolerate it?" She hadn't realized that Fang Xuan was a jealous person.
Shen Wangshu knew Fang Xuan definitely wouldn't tolerate it, but she smiled and said, "Of all the waters in the world, I only need one. I've only seen General Fang once, and everyone else is unbearable to look at. They seem like vulgar, unappealing women. Since that's the case, why keep them in the palace as an eyesore? Sending them away also means keeping my surroundings cleaner." She smiled and turned her head to look at the furnishings in the Empress's palace. Seeing several pots of delicate, colorful flowers, her eyes flashed, and then a beautiful smile appeared on her lips, making her even more stunning.
It turns out these three women are quite the ladies' man.
The Empress found it extremely rare, but still cautioned, "He's just a man. Even if you love him a little, there's no reason for you to wrong yourself."
She naturally believed that kings were ruthless, as always; wasn't that why the Third Princess's father had died? Shen Wangshu smiled and nodded, saying, "You're right, but there's hardly anyone in this world whom I love as much as General Fang. If I didn't like him, why would I bring him in and pamper him? Only what I cherish brings me joy; others, even if they're by my side, will only bring me more trouble."
