The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Princess Rong Le’s Mansion.

"Is my husband still angry with me?" Princess Rong Le was twisting a lychee with her fingertips. The skin was dark red and the cracks were filled with plump, white and translucent flesh. However, there was no aroma of lychee wafting out, and no sticky juice stained the princess's slender fingertips. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that it was actually a stone toy carved by a craftsman with great ingenuity.

"The Prince Consort..."

After the commotion in Heyi Tower, some of the servants in the princess's mansion who hold certain positions now know that their husband is actually a woman.

The maid who came to report the situation looked a little embarrassed: "The Prince Consort still doesn't allow us to serve her. I have no choice but to leave my sisters outside the house to pay attention to what's going on inside."

"As long as the situation doesn't get worse, it's fine." Princess Rong Le looked worried, "She just values ​​her family too much..."

How could she value her family? Even though Princess Rongle's husband Qin Ruying, who was disguised as a man, once cherished his lost and found relatives, after she was cheated so badly by her so-called parents and brothers, all her family affection disappeared.

The reason why she could endure it all the time was that Princess Rong Le had already figured out the secret behind the Su family's case, and she used the nuns and villagers who had helped Qin Ruying when she was young to threaten her to continue playing the role of her princess consort.

However, no one else knew all this except the eldest princess and the chief historian of the mansion. Therefore, the maid assigned to take care of the prince consort was very confused - the Su family was only concerned with distancing themselves from the relationship and wished they had never had a daughter like the prince consort. So why was the prince consort so obsessed with them?

Our Princess is so nice. Not only has she taken in so many desperate and lonely girls, but she has also let the elders in the mansion teach them a skill to make a living... So what if such a good person is both a girl?

The maidservant thought so and couldn't help but reveal some of it in her words and actions.

Princess Rong Le became even happier when she saw this, and she thought that she didn't need to rush to change the consort... In fact, she thought Empress Xie's cousin was quite good, good-looking, and at the most delicious age, but it was a pity...

"Your Highness, someone from the Duke of Shen's Mansion has come to visit." Lan Changshi stepped forward to ask for instructions.

Princess Rong Le raised her eyebrows: "It's not a festival, why did you think of me?"

She waved her hand to signal them to bring the person in.

Chen Peiluan's trusted nanny brought "Mrs. Dong's former maid" in and took the initiative to explain her identity and the maid's origin. She also said that her young mistress could not bear to see the maid suffer, but the staff in her courtyard was full, and the Crown Prince's wife was watching, so it was not convenient for her to keep her. So she wanted to ask Princess Rong Le if she could take in the maid.

"So that's how it is." Princess Rong Le was not unhappy for a single day. She asked the maid to come forward and take a look, and said, "I understand what A Luan meant. This girl will stay in my palace for now, and you..."

Before she finished speaking, Princess Rong Le noticed that a little maid Xun Lan Chang Shi said a few words: "What's wrong?"

Lan Changshi turned around and saluted, saying, "Your Highness, Madam Chen and Second Master Tao are here in person."

"Oh?" Princess Rong Le stood up from the low couch and put down the lychee figurine she had been playing with. "It seems that this matter is very urgent. As usual, ask the male servants in the mansion to entertain Mr. Tao and ask Madam Chen to come directly to me."

Not long after.

Chen Peiluan followed the maid inside: "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"No need to be polite, please sit down." The eldest princess waved her hand lazily. The maids in the room very sensibly put fruits and snacks on the table and brought a cup of scented tea.

Then they retreated from the house one after another in a very well-trained manner, leaving only trusted people like Lan Changshi guarding the curtain at the door.

After taking a sip of tea, Chen Peiluan looked at Princess Rong Le's smiling face and asked, "Has Your Highness asked the maid?"

"It's too late. But you sent someone here in such a hurry, I believe she must be involved in some complicated matter. Tell me, which adult was corrupt this time, and which child was favored by his elders?" Although Princess Rong Le did not interfere in the government openly, she was a good rumormonger and had teamed up with Chen Peiluan, who once hoped that her husband would make progress, several times.

"The implications of this matter are indeed not small." Chen Peiluan raised her right hand and pointed upwards.

Princess Rong Le's eyes sparkled: "She almost never has any fatal handle."

"Her cousin, Lin Qiao." Chen Peiluan pursed her lips, "She's a girl."

Princess Rong Le was confused and her thoughts stopped for a moment: "Oh, what a coincidence, my husband is also a girl."

"Cough cough cough!" Chen Peiluan was so shocked by the news that she started coughing.

Princess Rong Le looked at her innocently and motioned to Minister Lan to step forward and hand Chen Peiluan a handkerchief.

Chen Peiluan wiped her mouth in embarrassment: "This news is not only known by me, I am afraid those maids are the means used by the queen to achieve something."

"Is that so? Then are you sure that Lin Qiao is a woman? Could it be that someone is trying to set someone up?" Princess Rong Le was not very familiar with Empress Xie, but she knew in her heart that the other party was a difficult one to deal with.

Knowing that Lin Qiao would be supported by Empress Xie in the future, Chen Peiluan, who was a woman serving as an official, felt her throat dry. She said in a hoarse voice: "I am sure that Lin Qiao is a woman. I guess the Empress... probably wants this woman to be able to take the imperial examination and enter the court openly, so..."

The two looked at each other.

Princess Rong Le could not help but lean forward slightly, "If that is the case, I am afraid that our movements are already under her control. You... two of the three dukes in our dynasty have been abolished, and only your family is left. The Marquis of Anguo... has obviously sided with the Xie Party."

"One of the maids went to General He's youngest daughter's place." Chen Peiluan reminded. "Another one went to the home of a doctor named Zeng in the Ministry of Revenue for some reason. His family is nothing special, but Doctor Zeng's wife used to be Madam Dong's lackey."

"Just cannon fodder, don't think about it for now. If our queen is really sure that she can fake this, then I..."

Chen Peiluan looked at Princess Rong Le with empty eyes and couldn't help but feel nervous.

The royal family of this dynasty, especially those closer to the main branch, are more difficult to approach and serve, and each one has a weirder temper than the other.

"Then I really envy those tender nieces. Damn it, why can't my brother be my father?!" Princess Rong Le complained shockingly, and immediately turned cold: "Aluan, if a woman could also be an official, would you be tempted?"

Chen Peiluan was silent, then nodded.

Princess Rong Le smiled again: "That's good, she has her own purpose, I have mine, thank you for telling me this good news, this is such an interesting thing, of course I want to give it a push!"
