Chapter 81 Concubine
Everyone in Qingpu Residence was silent, except for an old man standing in the hall and speaking righteously.
"Although the final result is good, you really shouldn't put yourself in danger. Your life concerns the entire Beilin. You should think twice before doing anything."
Chang Liu tiptoed to the door and quietly asked Xi Feng: "Where were we talking about?"
Xi Feng looked straight ahead, "The substitute was killed."
"Ah..." Chang Liu sighed and said, "It's still too early. If we talk about all these things one by one, how long will it take for him to finish talking?"
The old man's voice continued, "The prince is in Beilin and misses the prince very much. When I came here, the prince told me..."
Chen Yu walked in with steady steps, and seeing Chang Liu and Xi Feng standing in front of the door like green pines, she asked, "Why are you two standing there?"
Xifeng and Changliu gave her a look at the same time: You're finished.
The old man in the house was interrupted, frowned, and asked sternly: "Who is making noise outside?"
Chen Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is it?"
Chang Liu reminded quietly: "The housekeeper of the palace, Lord Zhong."
Chen Yu said "Oh" and stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I am on duty today."
He then bowed to Uncle Zhong and said, "Hello, Uncle Zhong."
Zhong Bo looked Shi Yu up and down and asked, "Are you the child that His Highness picked up on the battlefield?"
What does it mean to be an adopted child? If you don't know, you might think Xie Tingzhou is her adoptive father.
Chen Yu glanced at Xie Tingzhou and said uncertainly, "It should be me."
After saying that, he prepared to sit down on a chair nearby.
Before his butt touched the chair, he heard Zhong Bo's scolding: "You are so presumptuous before His Highness has spoken!"
Chen Yu was so shocked by the roar that she couldn't move forward or backward. She bent over and was stunned for a moment before she stood up straight.
She usually behaved like this in front of Xie Tingzhou. No one said anything wrong when she sat down. She had long been used to it.
Zhong Bo said solemnly: "The palace cannot be without someone to manage it. Guarding the palace is Xi Feng's responsibility. I shouldn't have overstepped my authority. But now it seems that Xi Feng has not managed it well."
Xi Feng answered yes under the eaves, but what he was thinking in his heart was that His Highness had warned him from the beginning that he could not control this man, and how could he control him now that His Highness was protecting him?
Xie Tingzhou covered his lips and coughed twice, saying, "Mr. Zhong has worked hard all the way.
I am tired. It won’t be too late to deal with the affairs in the mansion after resting for a few days.”
Zhong Bo immediately said, "Your Highness is not feeling well right now, so I will not disturb you any more. I will go and take care of other matters first."
Xie Tingzhou nodded slightly.
"You all, follow me and retreat." said Zhong Bo.
Chen Yu wondered whether she was included in this "you guys". Seeing that everyone in the room was retreating, she followed them out.
"Shi Yu, stay." Xie Tingzhou suddenly spoke.
Zhong Bo glanced at Shi Yu and did not comment.
Only Xie Tingzhou and Shen Yu were left in the room.
Xie Tingzhou seems to be in better spirits today than yesterday. It seems that he is recovering slowly.
"Zhong Bo is an old man in the Beilin Palace," Xie Tingzhou said slowly, "He came all the way from Beilin and will stay in his palace to manage things. He is a little rigid, but kind-hearted. Xifeng and Changliu are orphans, and he brought them up."
What Xie Tingzhou didn't say was that, in fact, he was also raised by Uncle Zhong.
That is a secret of the palace that cannot be told to outsiders.
Chen Yu nodded, "I said I'm likable, he will definitely like me within three days."
Xie Tingzhou curled his lower lips slightly.
He didn't mention what else Zhong Bo said. No matter how likable she was, it was probably impossible for Zhong Bo to like her this time.
Chen Yu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Were those 'Ladies and Sisters' also brought by Uncle Zhong?"
"Madam?" Xie Tingzhou was confused.
"Oh," Chen Yu said, "It was Erya who gave them the names. Those girls live in the yard next to mine. From what I can see, they don't look like maids in terms of their dress."
Xie Tingzhou's face froze slightly, "Uncle Zhong arranged them to live next to you?"
"Yes." Chen Yu asked again: "Who are they?"
Xie Tingzhou was silent for a moment, "He is just an insignificant person, no need to care about him."
Chen Yu always felt that Xie Tingzhou's eyes were not so sincere, and was afraid that he was not telling the truth. After talking to Xie Tingzhou and leaving the room, she pulled Chang Liu to ask again.
Chang Liu spoke out loud and clear, "Those, those are the concubines that the prince sent to His Highness."
Chen Yu: "Concubine?!"
"Yes, concubine," Chang Liu said as a matter of course, "Your Highness is already twenty-two years old.
But there are concubines. "
Chen Yu felt as if she had been hit on the head with a club, and it took her a long time to recover.
Yes, which prince or nobleman at the age of 22 does not have many wives and concubines? Isn’t it normal to have several concubines?
Chang Liu looked her over and said, "You don't know what a concubine does, do you? You are not much older than me, and I guess you haven't tried it yet."
A strange feeling welled up in Shen Yu's heart, which was a bit sour and bitter.
She thought quietly for a moment. It seemed that in her previous life, when Jiang Lianzhi said he wanted to take a concubine, she had vaguely had the same feeling, but it was not as strong as it was now.
Shen Yu's heart was immediately filled with alarm. Could it be that she was...
Chang Liu came over and said aggrievedly, "Actually, I haven't tried it either. His Highness gave me one before. I was scared when I saw that sister. She came up and stripped my clothes, so I chased her away. I heard that... well... when a man and a woman are at their best, they will sleep together at night. I didn't get along with her, but she stripped my clothes. It was too much."
…
Chen Yu was on duty at Qingpu Residence when a guest came to the front of the palace. Although he did not mention his name, he gestured to the servants for a long time, and the servants knew that the visitor was looking for Shi Yu.
When Chen Yu went to the front hall, she heard Uncle Zhong speaking respectfully in the hall.
"I wonder if Shi Yu has offended the young marquis in some way?"
Pei Chunli said: "That's not the case, but she and I are old acquaintances."
Shen Yu wondered when she met the young marquis, why didn’t she know about it?
He looked into the hall and saw Pei Chunli just looking up from his teacup, and their eyes met.
Pei Chunli's eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother!"
Chen Yu really didn't know when she had such a brother, and hurriedly entered the door and saluted, "Young Marquis."
Pei Chunli put down the teacup, stood up and walked around Shen Yu, and suddenly said, "It's been a year, why haven't you grown taller?"
Zhong Bo looked at the two of them from the side.
Pei Chunli saw her puzzled expression and explained with gestures: "Have you forgotten? Last spring, we met in a... in a room. I was lying on the couch and you were on top of me... um... um... "
Chen Yu hurriedly covered Pei Chunli's mouth, fearing that he would say something unbelievable again.
Looking at Zhong Bo again, I saw a look of disgust on his face.
