Chapter 81 Concubine
Everyone in Qingpu Residence was silent, only an old man stood in the hall and spoke righteously.
"Although the final result is good, the prince should not have put himself in danger. The prince's life concerns the entire Beilin. He should think twice before doing anything."
Changliu tiptoed to the door and asked Xifeng quietly: "Where are you talking about?"
Xifeng looked straight ahead, "The substitute was killed."
"Ah..." Changliu sighed and said, "That's too early. If he talks about all these things one by one, how long will he finish talking?"
The voice of the old man in the house continued, "The prince is in Beilin and misses the prince so much. When I came, the prince told me..."
Shen Yu walked in with steady steps and saw Changliu and Xifeng 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 are finished.
The old man in the house was interrupted, frowned, and asked sternly: "Who is making noise outside?"
Shen Yu was stunned and asked: "Who is it?"
Chang Liu reminded in a low voice: "The housekeeper of the palace, Zhong Bo."
Shen Yu said "Oh" and stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, I am on duty today."
He bowed to Zhong Bo again, "Hello, Zhong Bo."
Zhong Bo looked up and down at Shi Yu and asked: "Are you the child that Your Highness picked up on the battlefield?"
What is a picked up child? Those who don't know would think that Xie Tingzhou is her adoptive father.
Shen Yu glanced at Xie Tingzhou and said uncertainly: "It should be me."
After that, she prepared to sit down on a chair beside her.
Before her butt touched the chair, she heard Zhong Bo scolding: "Your Highness hasn't spoken yet, how can you be so presumptuous!"
Shen Yu was yelled at and couldn't move forward or backward. She bent over and was stunned for a moment before standing up straight.
She usually behaved like this in front of Xie Tingzhou. When she sat down, no one said anything wrong. She was used to it.
Zhong Bo said solemnly: "The palace cannot be without people to manage it. The guards are 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 said yes under the eaves, but what he was thinking was that the prince had warned him from the beginning that he could not control this person. Besides, how could he control him with the prince's protection?
Xie Tingzhou covered his lips and coughed twice, saying: "Zhong Bo has been tired all the way. It's not too late to deal with the affairs of the palace after a few days of recuperation."
Zhong Bo immediately said: "The prince is not in good health now, so I won't bother you. I will go to deal with other matters first."
Xie Tingzhou nodded slightly.
"You all, follow me to retreat." Zhong Bo said.
Shen Yu wondered whether this "you" included her. 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 looked better today than yesterday, and he was probably recovering slowly.
"Zhong Bo is an old man in the Beilin Palace," Xie Tingzhou said slowly, "I 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 did not say was that he was also brought up by Zhong Bo.
That was a secret of the palace that could not be told to outsiders.
Shen Yu nodded, "I said I am likable, and he will definitely like me within three days."
Xie Tingzhou gently hooked his lower lip.
He did not mention what Zhong Bo said. No matter how likable she was, Zhong Bo might not like her this time.
Shen Yu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Were those 'ladies and sisters' also brought by Zhong Bo?"
"Ladies and sisters?" Xie Tingzhou was confused.
"Oh," Shen Yu said, "Er Ya gave them the names. Those girls are in the yard next to mine. I don't think they are maids because of their dress."
Xie Tingzhou's face froze slightly, "Zhong Bo arranged them next to you?"
"Yes." Shen Yu asked again, "Who are they?"
Xie Tingzhou was silent, "They are just insignificant people, no need to care."
Shen Yu always felt that Xie Tingzhou's eyes were not so sincere, and she was afraid that he was not telling the truth. After talking to Xie Tingzhou and leaving the room, she pulled Chang Liu and asked again.
Chang Liu said all at once, "Those, those are the concubines sent by the prince to His Highness."
Shen Yu: "Concubines?!"
"Yes, concubines," Chang Liu said as a matter of course, "Your Highness is already twenty-two years old. Naturally, there were concubines in the former Beilin Palace."
Shen Yu felt as if someone had hit her head with a club, and she didn't recover for a long time.
Yes, a 22-year-old prince or nobleman would have many wives and concubines, wouldn't it be normal to have a few concubines?
Changliu looked at her and said, "You don't know what concubines do, do you? You are not much older than me, and I guess you haven't tried it yet."
Shen Yu felt strange and a little bitter.
She thought for a moment, and it seemed that when Jiang Lianzhi said he wanted to take a concubine in his previous life, she had also had a vague feeling of the same, but not as strong as this moment.
Shen Yu's heart suddenly started to alarm. She said to Xie Tingzhou, could it be...
Changliu came over and said a little 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 drove her away. I heard... well... when a man and a woman are at their best, they will sleep together at night. I don't like her, but she stripped my clothes. It's too much."
...
Shen Yu was on duty at Qingpuju, but a guest came to the front of the palace. Although he didn't 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 Shen Yu went to the front hall, she heard Zhong Bo talking respectfully in the hall.
"I wonder if Shi Yu has offended the young marquis in some way?"
Pei Chunli said: "No, but she and I are old acquaintances."
Shen Yu wondered when she knew a young marquis, why didn't she know it herself?
Looking into the hall, Pei Chunli was looking up from his teacup, and their eyes met.
Pei Chunli's eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother!"
Shen Yu really didn't know when she had such a brother, and hurriedly entered the door to salute, "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.
Seeing her puzzled expression, Pei Chunli gestured to explain: "Have you forgotten? Last spring, we met in a... a room. At that time, I was lying on the couch and you were on top of me... um... um..."
Shen Yu hurriedly covered Pei Chunli's mouth, fearing that he would say something unbelievable again.
Looking at Zhong Bo again, he showed a look of disgust on his face.
