How embarrassing for them?
"Greetings to the Crown Princess..."
When they had just paid their respects to the Crown Prince, their voices had been uniform and in unison. But now, when they were paying their respects to the Crown Princess, their voices were extremely weak and uneven. Murong Xiao looked at these beauties coldly, without saying a word.
At this moment, the entire Prince's Mansion was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. Feeling the extremely low pressure emanating from Murong Xiao, everyone was silent.
"These beauties don't know the rules. Please forgive me, Princess."
Zhang Wei stepped forward and said with an apologetic smile, "Today, the Emperor issued an imperial decree, bestowing these seven beauties upon the Crown Prince. However, after receiving the decree, the Crown Prince asked me to handle it and told me not to disturb the Crown Princess."
"If that's the case, why did Chief Steward Zhang come to ask this concubine?"
Looking at the expressionless Crown Princess, Zhang Wei's heart trembled. The pressure from this Crown Princess was truly greater than that from the Crown Prince.
"I also want to deal with them casually, but these beauties were specially awarded by the Emperor through imperial decree. If I drive them out, wouldn't that be disobeying the Emperor's order? But if I leave them in the backyard, even if the Crown Princess doesn't find out today, there's no guarantee that she won't find out someday.
Therefore, I have the audacity to have these seven beauties stand in the courtyard to welcome the Crown Princess back to the palace, and leave it to the Crown Princess to decide her fate."
Seeing Zhang Wei's caring demeanor, Murong Xiao sneered inwardly. Did he think she had never been in the palace? He actually used the emperor's decree to pressure her.
He just wanted to tell her that these women were sent by the emperor. Even if the prince had only favored her before and had no intention of taking a concubine, she now had to accept the existence of these women.
The prince has already told him to deal with these women privately. Having followed the prince for so long, Zhang Wei must understand the prince's true intentions. If he really wants to deal with them, there are definitely many ways to make these women stay in the prince's mansion, unable to leave, and never be able to see her again.
But he insisted on letting these women stand at the door to welcome her, and even took the initiative to place these people in the backyard without even informing her.
What did he take Murong Xiao for? A good wife and mother, or perhaps a beautiful and intelligent woman? Did he think that if he asked these women to stand here for a while, bowed to her, and threatened her that it was the emperor's arrangement, she would relent and let these women live in the backyard?
Murong Xiao can do everything except being jealous! She can endure anything except being bullied!
But since some people want to force her to be jealous and forced her to suffer, she can only apologize.
Murong Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a brilliant smile, and said, "It seems that Manager Zhang is very caring towards these beauties!"
Although Murong Xiao was smiling, it made Zhang Wei shiver.
Having spent years in the imperial palace, how could he not hear the hidden meaning behind Murong Xiao's words? He immediately knelt and pledged his loyalty: "The Crown Princess has wronged me. I was thinking of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess! I am loyal to the Crown Prince, and heaven and earth can bear witness to my loyalty!"
Murong smiled and said, "What's wrong with Zhang Zongguan? I was just praising him for taking good care of the beauty. What does this have to do with your loyalty to the Crown Prince?"
"Slave..." Looking at Murong Xiao's smiling face, Zhang Wei felt cold all over.
It doesn't matter? How could it not matter? The Crown Prince had clearly instructed him to deal with the beauty privately and not to disturb the Crown Princess.
