Wang Huan spoke cautiously, trying to express Shen Guidi's intention that day carefully and with careful wording.

"Heh..." He Qingchen laughed sarcastically.

For some reason, at this moment, he only felt that the depression in his heart had become even stronger, as if something was blocking his heart, and every breath was difficult and painful.

He looked quietly into the distance and couldn't help asking himself: Ah Yi, are you really in love with him?

Why could she push him in front of another woman so openly, even give up the yard without a care, and keep mentioning those things to him?

Ye Feng and Wang Huan took a step back tremblingly, fearing that they would be affected again.

They had never seen their prince in such an emotion.

He clearly looked very angry, and even his laughter was filled with cold sarcasm, but he did not vent his anger like he had in the past. He just... remained silent?

why?

It seems like the princess did nothing wrong?

Wang Huan rarely left the house, so he knew Shen Guicui's recent situation and movements best. He was sure that their princess had not left the house in the past few days, and had not associated with any messy people.

Every day is very quiet and monotonous.

Why did the prince keep arguing and getting angry with the princess when the princess hadn't made any mistakes at all?

Is the prince getting angry too often recently?

He Qingchen was very angry and doubtful, but he did not leave. Instead, he held back his anger and reminded himself again and again that in his previous life, his Ah Yi must have slowly fallen in love with him during those three years.

Now that they have just met, it is normal that his Ah Di does not have deep feelings for him.

understandable.

She didn't dare to disobey her mother's wishes, but was worried that he would think she was jealous. She could only endure it and pretend that she didn't care about him taking a concubine. She must be unhappy in her heart.

Nothing.

He should deal with all the people as soon as possible and go back to comfort her.

After some self-persuasion, He Qingchen finally suppressed the irritability in his heart and quickened his pace to the backyard.

Qingfeng Courtyard and Linfeng Courtyard.

The four women appointed by Queen Gu were bored and embroidering purses in their own rooms.

He Qingchen stepped into Qingfeng Courtyard.

There were more guards from the mansion behind him, and they quickly dispersed and surrounded the two courtyards.

The two servants in the left yard noticed the noise here, and hurriedly asked people to close the doors and windows, pretending to know nothing and hiding in their own yards. As a martial artist, He Qingchen had much better hearing than others, so he naturally heard the noise next door.

He glanced at it expressionlessly, and then winked at Wang Huan.

Wang Huan understood and immediately asked someone to invite the two girls from Qingfeng Courtyard and the two girls from Linfeng Courtyard on the right.

These four people were selected by Queen Gu.

After being selected, they were trained for several months in a farm outside the city, and were not brought into the palace until that day. Therefore, they had never seen He Qingchen.

now.

Seeing this handsome, tall and dignified man in front of them, they all blushed at the same time.

For a moment, several people even forgot to salute.

Wang Huan coughed impatiently, and they finally came to their senses and quickly knelt on the ground to pay their respects.

He Qingchen didn't shout, but just said lightly: "Everyone raise your heads."

The four of them opened their big watery eyes, raised their heads shyly, and then lowered them again. Wang Huan's eyes twitched as he watched from the side.

The women he saw these days were not behaving like the ones he saw now.

The prince's damn charm really made these women unable to resist seducing him in public?

He Qingchen glanced at them indifferently and said in a cold tone: "I heard that you were all specially selected by my mother for me. Are you all willing to enter my Yanwang Mansion as concubines?"

The four women looked at each other.

Finally, it was the woman surnamed Li who took the initiative to speak up and said, "Your Highness, we have admired you for a long time, and the Queen is kind-hearted, so she sent us into the palace..."

He Qingchen raised his hand and interrupted what she was about to say.

The woman didn't understand what was going on. She opened her eyes and looked at He Qingchen in confusion.

"You admire me, and my mother is kind and supportive. So, may I ask, has anyone among you asked for my and the princess' opinions?" He Qingchen's eyes were cold, and these words were like an ice pick, cutting into them.

They were stunned and subconsciously knelt down to apologize.

He Qingchen said coldly: "This king will only give you one chance? Tell me honestly, why did the Queen Mother ask you to come here? Tell me honestly, and this king can consider arranging a good place for you. If not, Wang Huan, you can sell all of these."

The four women were dumbfounded.

Sold them out?

They are all good girls!

Moreover, they are not women without any family background. Their fathers and brothers are officials in the court, of varying degrees. How could they be sold away at will?

Wang Huan was also shocked by He Qingchen's decision.

Can't you?

Your Majesty would not do such a stupid thing, right?

However, he really didn't dare to gamble, so he could only quickly persuade the women: "Girls, just tell the truth. The prince is kind and magnanimous, as long as you are honest, he will not punish you casually."

The four women seemed not to hear anything and refused to answer.

"Why don't you say anything? Come on, tell me."

Wang Huan was very anxious and kept urging them.

Firstly, he was worried that these women had clean family backgrounds and if they were really sold out, it would cause a lot of trouble.

Secondly, she was also afraid that the Queen Mother in the palace would hold her accountable. As a mother-in-law, she might not hold the Prince accountable for anything, but she would probably hold the Princess accountable. After all, this matter was too embarrassing for the Queen Mother.

at this time.

The woman surnamed Li glanced at the people beside her, hesitated for a while, gritted her teeth, and said to He Qingchen, "My Lord, please leave us here. The Queen only told us to serve you well and try to give birth to a little prince as soon as possible.

You may not know that the Queen Mother chose us because our mothers were good at giving birth to children.

Don't worry, we will stay in the backyard and won't run around or cause you any trouble.

We were chosen by the Queen Mother and brought back to the palace by the Princess herself. If you sell us all out and dispose of us, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the Queen Mother?

Without us, there will be others in the future. The Queen will never give up until you give birth to a prince.

Instead of this, you might as well keep us here, even if it's just for show. As long as you come over to sit with us occasionally, and stay overnight occasionally, the Queen will not say much, and the Princess will not have to watch you bring some women back to the palace again and again, and she will feel more relaxed.

Keeping us here is a win-win situation, don't you think?"
