In a small courtyard of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, a woman's sweet voice could be heard continuously, making the maids waiting outside blush.
"Master, today is your big day, so don't drink alone, let's do something happy." Under the candlelight, a charming woman looked at Yinzhen beside her in a flattering manner. Although her words were full of doubt, her charming eyes were full of pride.
What did it mean that the master didn't go to spend his wedding night with the concubine who had just entered the mansion, but instead came to her? It meant that the concubine was really as ugly and vulgar as the rumors said, and that she was the one the master valued the most.
"Don't mention that woman in front of me."
When he heard the word "great joy", Yin'er frowned. He didn't understand why the emperor wanted to assign him a concubine for no reason. Did he think there were not enough women in his house?
Thinking of the various rumors about his concubine, Yinzhen's brows furrowed even deeper.
The next day.
Jiang Ranli stretched and woke up from her sleep, but she was startled as soon as she opened her eyes.
She saw two girls, Sidai and Sixian, standing by the bed, looking at her with red eyes, as if they wanted to cry but didn't dare.
"What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Ranli was a little puzzled. What happened so early in the morning? Could someone have bullied them?
"Miss, Master Jiu didn't come yesterday. Instead, he went to a concubine's place. Now, now everyone in the mansion is making fun of you," Sidai said as tears fell down her face.
So that's what it is.
After hearing what Sidai said, Jiang Ranli felt relieved. As long as no one bullied them, it was fine. As for being laughed at, although she didn't like it, it was nothing.
"Miss, how can you still be so calm?" Seeing Jiang Ranli's composure, Sixian said as another string of tears fell.
Seeing her two maids crying so sadly, Jiang Ranli grabbed her hair, not knowing how to comfort them. She couldn't tell them that the Ninth Master was a short-lived ghost and had a miserable end, so they should stay away from him. Not to mention whether Sidai and Sixian would believe it, she would definitely be regarded as a lunatic.
After finally calming Sixian and Sidai down, Jiang Ranli washed and dressed up before going out.
Regardless of whether the Ninth Prince came to her yesterday, today was her first day married into the Ninth Prince's mansion. She had to pay her respects to the Ninth Prince's wife and meet his concubines.
In fact, Jiang Ranli really didn't want to go there, but now she was under someone's roof and had to bow her head. Moreover, she also had to familiarize herself with the Ninth Prince's Mansion in preparation for slipping away later.
The Ninth Prince’s Mansion, the main hall.
Mrs. Dong E, the wife of the royal concubine, sat solemnly at the main seat. On either side of her sat five or six women. The scene was filled with colorful flowers and willows. If one didn't know better, one would have thought they were in a country of women.
"Fujin, look at the time now, and Concubine hasn't come to greet you yet. It's really outrageous," said a charming woman with a complaint.
"The lady hasn't said anything yet, why are you complaining? It's just that the master went to your place for a drink yesterday. The sisters already knew about it," said a woman dressed quite formally, rolling her eyes.
As soon as she said this, the charming woman lowered her eyes and smiled coquettishly, completely ignoring the resentful looks from all around her.
"What are you saying, sister? I didn't say anything. I'm just speaking up for the concubine. Look at us, there are so many sisters. Which one of us made the concubine wait for so long on the first day of entering the mansion? That concubine who just came really doesn't know the rules."
The charming woman responded indifferently to the unfriendly gazes from those around her.
