She needs to sort things out and figure out what path to take in the future.
At this moment, the maid Bi Qiao walked in and said, "This servant greets Your Highness and Princess. The concubines are coming to visit Your Highness and are waiting outside."
Zhao Shu immediately perked up. She used to be extremely disdainful of these concubines and never took them seriously, but not anymore. When the emperor was reducing the power of the princes, these people had taken advantage of her misfortune. Moreover, if she remembered correctly, many of these concubines were from various powerful families and royal residences.
After the fall of Prince Yong's mansion, none of these concubines cried for him. They all quickly found new husbands and lived a life of luxury.
Thankfully, in Prince Yong's eyes, these concubines were just for fun. He didn't even remember their names, and after being beaten and taking medicine, he was drowsy and had no interest in seeing any concubines.
He waved his hand and said, "I need to rest, I won't see you." His refusal was quite decisive.
Bi Qiao was about to go back and get rid of the concubines when Zhao Shu stopped her, saying, "Take them to my place."
"Yes." Bi Qiao dared not disobey Zhao Shu, who was the tyrant of the mansion and often treated human life as worthless.
Zhao Shu returned to her own courtyard, Qionghua Courtyard, and sat on the swing in the flowerbed.
Before long, the concubines entered the most luxurious Qionghua Courtyard in the entire Prince's Mansion in a grand procession. They felt that there was not enough to see. In the past, the princess would not allow them to look at her even once, and if they did, she would gouge out their eyes. The concubines were afraid of this little princess from the bottom of their hearts.
Upon arriving at the flowerbed, Zhao Shu saw a dense cluster of beautiful women, each with their own unique charm, some plump and some slender.
I have to say, this is way too much! I wonder where they usually live, and how big the Prince's mansion must be...
"Bi Qiao, what are their ranks? Are the concubines here?" She was dazzled by the sight; if she continued looking like this, she would definitely develop face blindness.
"Your Highness, these are all the children the Prince brought back. They haven't been officially made concubines yet." Bi Qiao answered cleverly, but Zhao Shu understood: Prince Yong was too absurd, and no family of any status was willing to marry their daughter to him.
She sighed, thinking that with so many women, her father could sleep with a different one for three months straight. She worried that some fool might have an affair and cuckold her father.
What are your skills?
"Princess, a number of people have arrived outside, saying they've come to apologize." The head steward, Uncle Fu, interrupted Zhao Shu's thoughts.
"Apologize? By whom?"
"It's from the Duke of Ningguo's mansion, the Xie family has also sent people, and the Wang family too," Uncle Fu answered truthfully. He felt very relieved today; the Wang family had actually received apology gifts from others!
This is unprecedented. In the past, if a prince was beaten, he had to apologize.
Thinking of this, his chubby face beamed like a Maitreya Buddha.
Zhao Shu nodded. "Let them wait."
