"I don't know either?" Yesterday, after the prince changed into his wedding clothes, he heard the servants report that Wanrong was crying in the room. He felt so distressed that he ran to comfort her. Soon, his head became dizzy and he said, "Maybe she was too nervous about getting married and didn't sleep well at night."

"Who among those present would believe you? I think you have been bewitched by Aunt Li and have lost your soul."

If it were someone else, the prince would have lost his temper long ago, but facing the old lady, he did not dare to lose his temper: "I didn't mean it, and I've already married He Shulan, so don't dwell on this matter."

Seeing that there were still servants in the room, the old lady did not continue the topic: "Shulan has already married into the mansion. The power of the household has been handed over to Shulan. She is the princess of the county. Is she the one who is in charge of the affairs of the mansion?"

The prince did not refuse directly. He agreed to let Wanrong be the hostess of the Prince's Mansion, but her status was there, and she could not become the legal wife. He did not want Wanrong to be wronged: "He Shulan has just married into the Prince's Mansion and does not understand many things. Wait until she understands the affairs of the mansion clearly before taking over the power of the family."

The old lady thought this made sense: "You decide on the arrangements."

He Shulan who was standing there sneered. The prince didn't want to hand over the power of the family to her and was delaying it deliberately. She had just married in, so she could only take her time to seize the power of the family.

The two chatted with the old lady for a while and then left.

The prince came to Li Wanrong's yard and saw her sitting in front of the window in a daze. He went forward and hugged her waist: "I didn't lie to you. I promised you that I would not be with He Shulan. On the wedding night, I slept on the bed outside."

Li Wanrong's watery eyes were full of anger. Yesterday, she asked her servants to lead the prince to the room where she had lit aphrodisiac incense. She finally made the prince unconscious and did not allow her to go to the front hall to get married.

Unexpectedly, the plan was ruined by the old man. Seeing that the prince was wearing the wedding dress he wore yesterday, she knew that he did not sleep with He Shulan yesterday. She felt a little relieved and leaned in the prince's arms: "I have to serve tea to the lady later."

"Let's go tomorrow." The prince saw that Li Wanrong's eyes were red and he couldn't bear to see her suffer any injustice.

........

Chunxia glanced at the gate, her face full of displeasure: "No matter how favored Aunt Li is, she is just a concubine. At this time, why don't you come to serve tea to the Princess?" As she said that, she turned her head and saw He Shulan sitting in her seat, leisurely eating snacks, and muttered: "Miss, at this time, you are still in the mood to eat snacks."

He Shulan didn't care. Li Wanrong was favored by the prince, but she was the mistress of the house. Sooner or later, Li Wanrong would come to serve her tea. In her previous life, He Shuzhen didn't keep her composure and went to Li Wanrong's yard to cause trouble. She was severely reprimanded by the prince, and she ran back to the mansion in anger: "No hurry, help Qiu Dong clean up the dowry I brought and register it in the book."

Chunxia left the hall angrily.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Li Wanrong came to He Shulan's yard. She was wearing a blue brocade long skirt with a vest on the outside. The hem of her skirt was embroidered with exquisite peonies. When she walked, her skirt seemed to be blooming, which made her delicate face even more beautiful.

He Shulan clicked her tongue a few times. Li Wanrong was so beautiful. No wonder she was favored by the prince.

"I have to serve the prince, so I am late in serving tea. Please forgive me, sister."

Li Wanrong said this without revealing anything. If He Shulan punished her, it would seem petty. "Nothing. Serving the prince is the most important thing."

Seeing He Shulan's calm and composed expression, Li Wanrong became a little flustered. But when she thought of the prince's favor towards her, she slowly calmed down, held the maid's hand, and sat down at the lower seat on the right.

"How dare you! Who allowed you to sit down without the mistress's permission? And you are a concubine, so this seat is not for you to sit on." Chun Xia, who was standing next to He Shulan, accused Li Wanrong sharply.

Li Wanrong's face turned very ugly. She was not from this era, but from an alien planet. She fell into a time tunnel and came to Earth. She lived in the 21st century for decades. She finally found the tunnel back to her planet, but the tunnel collapsed and she fell here.

After living on Earth for many years where everyone values ​​equality, she couldn't stand the ancient rules. She hadn't found a way back yet, so she could only adapt to life here temporarily: "It's just a seat, there's no need to be so excited. Although I'm a concubine, I'm different from ordinary concubines. I'm a noble concubine and I'm favored by the prince. You don't need to be so fussy about me."

At this time, He Shulan realized that Li Wanrong was even more daring than what was said outside: "You mean that a concubine can be on an equal footing with me, the mistress of the house."

Li Wanrong was full of pride. The power of the Prince's Mansion was in her hands, so she naturally didn't take He Shulan seriously: "You can understand it this way."

The maids in the room all had changing expressions. They had never seen such an arrogant concubine. No matter how favored a concubine was, she had to bow her head in front of the mistress of the house. All pairs of eyes were fixed on He Shulan.

He Shulan looked calm. This Li Wanrong was very difficult to deal with. It would take some effort to take the power of the household back from her. If they offended her now, they would offend the prince. It was still okay to give her a small punishment. "Auntie Li comes from a small family and doesn't know the etiquette and rules of a big family. I won't bother with you this time. Later, I'll have the nanny go to your courtyard and teach you the rules."

"I don't need to learn the rules. The prince gave me this privilege when he took me into his mansion."

"You should learn it!" He Shulan would not let the unruly Li Wanrong off easily: "The prince is a man, how could he understand the affairs of the harem? Although you are a concubine, your words and deeds represent the prince's mansion. If your words and deeds are discussed by outsiders, the prince's mansion will lose face."

"You even dare to disobey the order of the prince." What Li Wanrong hated most was learning the rules. Before entering the prince's mansion, she was disciplined by her parents at home and was not allowed to run around. After entering the prince's mansion, there were even more rules: "I won't learn." She didn't continue the topic, took the tea handed over by the maid, stood in front of He Shulan and bowed: "Princess, please have some tea."

Chun Xia was almost pissed off by Li Wanrong. She stood to serve tea and didn't take the Princess seriously at all: "Auntie Li, I'm here to remind you that when you serve tea to the mistress of the house, you should kneel down, not stand."

Li Wanrong ignored him and said: "I will kneel to heaven, earth, and my parents, but not to anyone else."

"You are quite strong-willed." Nanny Chen, He Shulan's dowry, was completely enraged by Li Wanrong's arrogance and rudeness. She stepped forward and pressed Li Wanrong's head: "Today I will teach you some rules."

The teacup in Li Wanrong's hand fell to the ground. She kept struggling: "You old witch, if you don't let go, I will tell the prince."

"The prince has no right to interfere in matters in the backyard."

He Shulan curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and did not stop Nanny Chen. Nanny Chen was the nanny in charge of her dowry arranged for her by her aunt Bai Fei. She had been in charge of the rear house for many years and was very capable.
