But he disregarded the title of Crown Prince and directly asked the beauty to wait for the Crown Princess at the gate. Then, this intention of taking care of the beauty was not just a mockery of his disregard for the Crown Prince's orders?
But then he thought about it. He had served the Crown Prince for over a decade and was one of the few people he trusted. Although the Crown Princess was favored, she was ultimately from the Zhennan Palace. The Crown Prince's current favor might just be a tactic of playing hard to get.
He was loyal only to the Crown Prince, not the Crown Princess. Whether she was happy or not had nothing to do with him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wei became much bolder. He didn't believe that the prince would punish him, his confidant, because of a woman.
"What I mean is that His Royal Highness is now over 20 years old, and most young men of His Royal Highness' age would have already married and had children. Although the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are a loving couple, these beauties were, after all, gifts from the Emperor. His Royal Highness does not want to displease the Crown Princess, but I think the Crown Princess should carry on his wife's style, treat these beauties well, and expand the royal family!"
Zhang Wei finished speaking and immediately felt the temperature around him drop a few degrees. He tried his best to control his trembling hands, waiting for Murong Xiao to lose his temper.
What a problem with her work style! She doesn't accept these mistresses, and yet it becomes her work style that is problematic! And the person who says her work style is problematic is actually a dog slave!
She glanced at Zhang Wei who was kneeling on the ground. She was too lazy to waste words on this dying man and just left.
The expected outburst did not come, and I only felt a wisp of pleasant fragrance drifting by. I watched Murong Xiao walk away and just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that I had finally fulfilled the beauties' trust and could send them to the backyard, but then I heard Murong Xiao's cold voice:
"Since they have been sent to the Crown Prince's Mansion, they will belong to the Crown Prince's Mansion from now on. However, I haven't figured out how to accommodate them yet, so let them wait there."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned a corner and disappeared, leaving behind the steward Zhang with a sullen face and the beauties with angry faces.
What do you mean by "haven't figured out how to accommodate them?" The Prince's Mansion was so large, even seven hundred beauties could easily fit in, not to mention seven of them. What was going on now? Just letting them stand here and wait? Could it be that if she didn't figure it out tonight, they would have to stand there all night?
"Butler Zhang, why is the Crown Princess like this?"
"That's right! Even if we don't have her noble status, we are still the emperor's gift. Why should we stand here?"
"Butler Zhang, aren't you the Crown Prince's confidant? Go and try to persuade His Highness. My legs hurt from standing so much."
…
The seven beauties surrounded Zhang Wei, chatting one after another, pushing and shoving him until he was dizzy.
Finally, because he could not bear the entrustment of the beauties anymore, based on the idea of taking money to help others get rid of disasters, he finally agreed to let several beauties try to persuade the prince.
"Mr. Zhang has become more and more regressive over the past two years. He's become arrogant due to the Crown Prince's kindness and trust in him. Now he doesn't even listen to the Crown Prince's words. The Crown Prince clearly told him to quietly deal with these women and not let the Crown Princess see them, but he still brought these women to her. Isn't this deliberately irritating?"
Kou Zi, who had been completely intimidated by Murong Xiao's erudition and skill, felt sorry for his master.
"This steward is really blind.
