"Your Highness is so kind to our young lady on weekdays, how could he possibly accept these questionable women? Look at their appearance, not to mention that they don't have your abilities and martial arts, just based on looks, you can leave them far behind!" Qiao Se also complained.
"Shut up, everyone. Stop gossiping. In this world, the strong are respected. As long as you are strong, you won't be afraid of your enemies. Do you understand?"
"yes."
After entering the main house, Murong Xiao immediately spotted Qian Yeming sitting in the living room reading a book. For the first time ever, he wasn't staying in the study to handle his government affairs today.
Seeing Murong Xiao coming in, Qian Yeming immediately dismissed all the servants and personally poured a cup of lukewarm tea that had been prepared long ago and handed it to his wife.
Seeing the other person's cautious appearance, Murong smiled inwardly, but his expression was cold. He took the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp. The arrogance that had just risen up in his heart instantly subsided.
"Xiao'er, are you angry?" Qian Yeming asked pitifully.
"Shouldn't I be angry?" Ignoring someone's usual expression, Murong Xiao asked seriously.
Seeing that Murong Xiao was really angry, Qian Yeming's heart sank slightly. Without waiting for her reaction, he forcefully picked her up and carried her sideways. He sat down on the chair, placed her on his lap, restrained her with both hands, put away his pretended pity, and told her what happened today.
"This afternoon, Eunuch De's men delivered a letter, saying that the Emperor wanted to send me several concubines. Furthermore, these seven women came from quite a few backgrounds. They were either daughters of officials or wealthy merchants, all selected from the imperial court this year. After being selected by the Emperor, they were promised large sums of money, hoping to monitor every move in the Crown Prince's residence.
Sure enough, after noon, someone came to announce the decree. Without giving me the chance to refuse, the eunuch left the seven women at the Prince's residence and departed.
There are plenty of ways to deal with them, but I think you should know about this. Plus, I want to see how Zhang Wei performs, so I'll leave these women to him.
As you said, people do change.
"The secret guards reported that those women, hoping to become successful after entering the mansion, were very generous with their money to him. He accepted their money, and then he forgot my words and set his sights on you."
"Zhang Wei's rebellion is inevitable. Just keep an eye on him. We can still use him later. But this Eunuch De is really a sensible man. He informed us in advance of the last Jinyiwei assassination, and he is so righteous this time. You must not let him down when you enter the palace tomorrow."
Qian Yeming dotingly scratched Murong Xiao's nose: "I know! You promised him such a great benefit the first time you met him, how could his heart not be towards the Crown Prince's Mansion?"
Murong smiled and said, "Then... How does His Royal Highness plan to arrange for these seven beauties? Does he need a concubine? Does he need help from his wife?"
"Xiao'er, you insult me!" Qian Yeming said unhappily.
"How did I insult you?" Murong Xiao was puzzled.
"Hmph! I am the Crown Prince after all. How can I be attracted by just any wild flower or weed? Father is really too much. Even if he wants to send a concubine, he should at least send a woman who is a little more beautiful than you. If he wants to make her a concubine, he should at least send a woman who is ten times more beautiful than you!
