Princess Xitala listened casually, but everyone present knew that the First Princess was telling the truth. If they caused trouble and couldn't behave themselves, they might lose their lives.
Although there is no evidence to prove that Concubine Gao and Concubine Dong were the ones who did it, they are not fools and have a woman's intuition.
After the Fujin made her move, the prince never entered Li Gege's room again. Two concubines died, and Cao Shi was crippled. In fact, if the Fujin hadn't given them the opportunity, they wouldn't have been able to harm Cao Shi.
Look at the hearts of these people; they were all restless at first.
However, they have a strong will to survive and are not fools. They know that they have no status in the master's heart. The princess hopes for a stable and peaceful harem, so she tries her best to be a well-behaved concubine and never steps into the minefield.
They even felt a little schadenfreude, watching to see if the newly arrived Manchu girls would behave themselves and step on a landmine.
The gifts He Zhuo gave were the same as those given to Fan Gege and the others.
A pair of white jade bracelets typically sells for around 12-15 taels, along with a bolt of palace silk.
He Zhuo began to introduce everyone one by one: "Princess Fan, she has given birth to the Third Princess and the Fourth Princess."
Guan Gege is currently more than five months pregnant.
Princess Li entered the Kangxi Emperor's household in the 27th year of his reign.
The concubines included Lady Chao, who gave birth to the second princess.
After watching them exchange greetings, He Zhuo dismissed them, too lazy to talk to them. He figured he'd rather spend his time playing with the children.
None of the princesses paid any attention to Princess Xitala. Princess Guan and Princess Li left, and Princess Fan even said she was going to see her daughter.
They were all a little uncomfortable, not only because they were all the man's women and there was an extra woman, but also because Xitala was a Manchu.
Their biggest discomfort stemmed from the fact that all the women in their backyard had been drinking contraceptive medicine for years. It was only after Princess Xitala's arrival that the contraceptive medicine had been discontinued.
This made them feel extremely bitter.
Consort Hui did not choose her son's concubines randomly. Lady Hitara was of above-average appearance, a graceful lady with a scholarly air. The concubines in Yinzhi's harem were all bestowed upon him when Hezhuo entered the family, and none of them were of this type.
Three days later, the days when Yinzhi would go to the new princess's room at night came to an end.
When a new concubine arrives, she is favored for three days; this is an old custom. Of course, "new concubine" refers to a princess, not a concubine or the like.
Yinzhi treated this new princess only so-so, giving her three days a month, the same as Consort Fan. However, she was not as fortunate as Consort Fan, who was entitled to five days a month before the Fujin (Prince Consort) entered the household.
After the Third Princess Consort suffered a major setback at He Zhuo's place last time, she had been thinking about how to trick the First Princess Consort, but she hadn't found the opportunity or the time.
What happened was that after that incident, Consort Rong chose two beautiful palace maids for her son. The Third Prince, Yinzhi, being a naturally charming and talented man, delighted in this pleasure of having beautiful women by his side and happily enjoyed it.
This got out of control. In the past two years, the Third Prince has taken in five pretty women from his household. In addition to the ones bestowed by Consort Rong, and the two concubines he already had in his harem, the Third Prince's household was quite lively.
The gossip queens Donghui and Chunfen often followed Hezhuo to the Third Master's backyard for a while. Today, what's wrong with this girl? That girl recited poetry to the moon and attracted the Third Master's attention. This girl and the Third Master went boating and sang songs.
The Third Prince's wife bullied our Prince's wife; she deserved to be in trouble!
Several people were thoroughly gloating!
