She entered the family before Yinzhi's wedding. Ever since her miscarriage on the day of the Fujin's return visit, Yinzhi had never stepped into her room again.
Oh, right, there were also concubines. The skinny horses that were sent when the mansion was established were all given away by Yinzhi. There was also the concubine who came with Lady Qian (the birth mother of the Fifth Prince). She died within a year. She died of her own sorrow. She was like Lin Daiyu, always shedding tears in the wind and composing poems while admiring flowers.
Concubine Cao and Concubine Dong have long since passed away.
The two new princesses who arrived last year, Wang and Gao, are not liked by the master for some reason, and they have not shared a room with each other yet. Because of this, the two of them have been unable to hold their heads up in the backyard and rarely go out.
So, besides the Fujin (Prince's wife), the only other people who could serve the Prince were Consort Ruan and, oh, the Fifth Prince's birth mother, Miss Qian, though they rarely did, maybe once a year.
Therefore, He Zhuo's current exclusive favor cannot be attributed to Yin Zhi's desire to remain chaste and live a monogamous life with her. While it is true that the two are deeply in love, the lack of servants in the inner palace is also a contributing factor.
In fact, He Zhuo wronged Yin Zhi. Yin Zhi's heart and eyes are now only on He Zhuo, his wife, and he has no desire to be with anyone else.
The reason Nalan was allowed to become pregnant was not only because she had been obedient and diligent in raising Xiao Wu Honghan and Liu Gege over the years, but also because he wanted to give her a biological child so that they would no longer share a room in the same room in the future.
As for Shumulu, she was still a teenage girl, indeed young and beautiful, with a somewhat fiery personality, which was actually to his liking.
However, he already had Hezhuo in his heart, so he couldn't reciprocate this affection. Yinzhi could sense that this young girl was deeply in love with him, so he decided to give her a child so that she would have someone to rely on in the future.
It can be said that Yinzhi was already considering living a good life with his wife in the future, just the two of them, not with a group of wives and concubines in the harem.
However, He Zhuo did not feel it, or perhaps He Zhuo felt some of it but did not believe it or was unwilling to believe it!
We'll see in the future; the princess will eventually understand the prince's heart.
The days passed by in this leisurely manner. By February of the 44th year of Kangxi's reign, the two concubines in the household had reached a certain rank and were about to give birth.
Su Mei came to report that Lady Irgen Gioro had arrived.
Seeing that his mother's expression was not right, He Zhuo dismissed the servants.
The lady, as if she had been injected with gunpowder, poured out the truth like a machine gun.
“Madam, this time, you must help your sixth brother. He is so wronged. He still doesn’t have a son or daughter and his family is empty. He is already 35 years old.”
“I told him to take a concubine before, but he refused, saying he wanted a legitimate son. Fine, then let’s wait for a legitimate son. After all these years, what have we gotten? Not a son or daughter, and your sixth brother is still… I don’t even want to talk about him. I knew this woman wasn’t a good person back then, and look at all these sordid things she’s done.”
Mother was furious.
Sixth Sister-in-law is a member of the imperial clan. She was the idle member of the imperial clan who was betrothed to Sixth Brother by the Emperor because Sixth Brother passed the imperial examination as a third-ranking scholar in martial arts.
Later, when he discovered that she was unwilling to share a room with him, Sixth Brother Jia Hui did not force her. After all, his younger sister, He Zhuo, had told him that he should not lose his virginity before the age of 30.
And so, Sixth Brother followed Sixth Sister-in-law.
Once he turned thirty, Sixth Brother also wanted to have an heir. He told Sixth Sister-in-law about it, but unexpectedly, she gave two maids to him as concubines.
