"Those two women are yours to handle. Just arrange a place for them anywhere." After saying that, Thirteen couldn't help but move his lips closer to her face.
He Yue was speechless. They're really just abandoning it?!
She pressed one hand against his face, then moved her face away, saying with disgust, "Go take a shower first, you stink!"
Thirteen grumbled unhappily, "You really know how to spoil the fun!" But he jumped up as instructed and loudly ordered people to bring hot water.
He Yue shook her head and chuckled, then took the opportunity to call Hai Lan over and instruct her to summon Li Shun'er.
Upon learning that the two women had entered the mansion, Heyue assigned them a small courtyard on the east side, giving each of them two maids, a nanny, and a eunuch, without even having a proper audience with them.
As long as they behave themselves in the future, Heyue will not bother with them and will treat them well.
If they are still greedy and cause trouble in the future, Heyue will not be polite.
After Thirteen came out, the maids served him a meal.
That night, Thirteen stayed in Heyue's room. Since Heyue was having her period, the two of them could only chat under the covers.
After holding back for so long, he was finally able to indulge himself, but suddenly he could only look and not eat. He was extremely frustrated, and Thirteen had a bitter face right now.
"You really are a troublesome little devil!" Why didn't you say so earlier? Why did you wait until we were in bed and everything was ready before you brought it up? It was clearly intentional.
The thirteenth prince angrily bit her ear hard.
He laughed heartily, his bright eyes hiding a sly glint, showing no sign of guilt.
The next morning, at Chunfeng Courtyard
Yu Yan smiled as she looked at herself in the mirror. Suddenly remembering something, she asked Qiao'er, the maid who was combing her hair, "Qiao'er, should I go to pay my respects to the Princess Consort later?"
Yu Yan was one of the concubines assigned to Chunfeng Courtyard yesterday, along with another woman, Tao Ying.
Because she came from the south, she had skin as smooth as jade, and her eyes, like autumn waters, held a captivating gentleness. Her figure was slender and graceful, like a willow swaying in the breeze, making her all the more endearing.
A friendly smile played on his lips, making him instantly likable.
Qiao'er, however, curled her lips into a disdainful smile at her words and said, "Miss, the Madam has long established rules that, except for the first and fifteenth of the month, you do not need to pay your respects to the Madam every day. You just need to stay in your room."
Considering that the person in front of me is someone I will be serving in the future, and that I will inevitably suffer if anything goes wrong, I have to say some things.
“Miss, don’t blame me for not reminding you.” Since the other maid, Ling’er, was not around, Qiao’er leaned closer to her and whispered a reminder: “You’ve entered the Thirteenth Prince’s residence, which is a great honor for you. Others can only envy you. You must not let this opportunity lead you to have unrealistic expectations.”
Seeing her eyebrows furrow in anger, Qiao'er didn't take it to heart and continued, "It's normal that you don't know some things since you've just entered the manor, but I have to remind you."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yan was taken aback. Could there be some other explanation behind this? She immediately began to listen attentively.
Qiao'er was very satisfied with her attitude and smiled slightly: "Everyone in this mansion knows that the master dotes on his wife the most. Apart from his wife, the master never goes to any other woman's room. This has never changed over the years. His wife is also someone who cannot tolerate any injustice. If anyone crosses his line, she will not be lenient. You should be prepared not to do anything wrong and make a fool of yourself."
At first, Yu Yan frowned as she listened, but after a moment's thought, she curled her lips in disdain.
What do you mean, "The master dotes on his wife, and she can't tolerate any dissent"? She's just a jealous woman.
Men, which one isn't prone to getting bored with the old and getting fickle?
According to the maid, the princess has been in the household for several years now, and even if she is still pampered, she should get tired of it by now.
The wife was such a domineering person, which man could stand her?
The reason why the master didn't favor other women in the past was simply because the other women were not pretty or smart enough, and were afraid of the tyranny of the Fujin.
I'm not bad looking either. As long as I persevere, and I'm still young, I'm sure I'll fall at your feet.
Qiao'er, seeing her expression, knew exactly what she was thinking. She felt increasingly disdainful, but remained respectful on the surface, and poured cold water on her without any politeness: "Miss, please don't be careless. Before the Fujin entered the manor, there was a Guarjia Consort in the manor. After the Fujin entered the manor, the Consort offended the Fujin and was punished by the Fujin to kneel in the snow and fell ill."
Later, the concubine went mad and attempted to assassinate the master, so he sent her to the estate to be cared for. Although she returned later, the master never visited her. Now, the room is empty, and she spends her days eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures, ignoring worldly affairs.
Yu Yan shivered, her face filled with terror.
Qiao'er ignored her expression and, while combing her hair, began to tell another story: "Later, a princess killed another princess's child in a power struggle, and that princess subsequently disappeared. The princess who lost her child did not receive any pity from the master because of this."
For many years, the master has never stepped into that princess's room, nor has he gone to the rooms of any other woman.
Some said it was the Fujin (princess) who forbade it, while others said that the princess herself had harmed her child and framed someone else. The prince saw through her true colors and, fearing other women might be as wicked and scheming, never went to any other rooms again.
Qiao'er had served in the mansion for many years and had felt envious and even jealous of the master's long-standing favoritism towards his wife. She also thought that the wife's behavior was too domineering.
Which man doesn't have multiple wives and concubines? Especially since you are a prince.
However, as a woman, Qiao'er admired the Fujin even more. Although such methods were frightening, not everyone could do them.
