Yinzhen nodded. He was just curious why Fourteenth went to the concubine's place as soon as he entered the mansion. Now that he heard the reason, he no longer had any doubts.
"Is the concubine feeling better?"
"Much better. I think it's because you, Ninth Brother, have returned to the capital. She's so happy that her condition has improved a lot," said the Fourteenth Prince as he poured himself some tea and handed a cup to his Ninth Brother.
Hearing his words, Yinzhen was stunned, and the image of his concubine appeared in his mind.
Seeing him like this, the Fourteenth Prince said again, "Ninth Brother, although the concubine is not good-looking, she has a good personality and is quite nice."
"She has a stubborn personality and a strong tenacity. She looks stupid most of the time, but she knows when to advance and when to retreat. Most people are superficial and only see the surface, not the essence, so they often abuse her," Yinzhen sighed and said.
Listening to his words, Fourteenth Prince's eyes flickered, "Ninth Brother, since you know that the concubine is good, why are you so cold to her?"
Indifferent?
This word made Yinzhen slightly stunned. It seemed that he did not neglect the concubine. He treated most of the women in the mansion like this. Moreover, he seemed to be quite good to the concubine. If any woman in the mansion was sick, he would personally bring the imperial physician to visit her.
"Have I been cold to her? If so, she would be the same as those women. Would I still rush to the palace to find the imperial physician to treat her?" Yinzhen refuted the Fourteenth Prince's words.
Upon hearing this, the Fourteenth Prince nodded, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed true.
His ninth brother was known as a playboy who fell in love with every woman he met. There were countless women in his mansion, but that was all appearance. After those women entered his mansion, he almost treated them as nothing. So, by this calculation, his treatment of Jiang Ranli, the concubine, could not be considered as neglect.
"Then Ninth Brother, are you not so cold to her just for the sake of her mother's family?" Fourteenth Prince asked again.
Yinzhen looked at his own Fourteenth Prince unhappily. He found that he had a lot of questions today, and they were all related to the concubine.
"Although her maternal family is powerful and cannot be underestimated, do you think your ninth brother is that kind of person? In terms of the power behind them, Dong E's maternal family is more powerful. Have you ever seen me treat Dong E like this?"
"Then what do you like about her, Ninth Brother, that makes you treat her differently?" Fourteenth Prince spoke again.
This time, Yinzhen did not react immediately, but looked at him in confusion.
The Fourteenth Prince felt a little embarrassed when he was looked at by him. Realizing the reason, he quickly explained, "Ninth Brother, I'm just curious. There are many women in your house, all kinds of beauties, but I have never seen you look at them more. The only exception is that Concubine Xi, her appearance is... not so good, but you take good care of her, so I can't help but ask."
Listening to the Fourteenth Prince's explanation, Yinzhen felt helpless, thinking that if your curiosity could be used for serious matters, your brother would be much more relaxed.
"I can't say that I take care of my concubine, I'm just fulfilling my responsibility. After all, she is my concubine. Others ignore her because of her appearance. If I do the same, it will be inappropriate."
Speaking of his concubine, Yinzhen's mind emerged with her sturdy body and small head, and then the picture froze on her big and bright eyes.
Somehow, Yinzhen always felt that his concubine's eyes were very similar to Jiang Ranli's. They were both so big, bright and clear.
