The one with the largest number of concubines in the harem is undoubtedly the third princess. She has already taken in eight concubines before she has even decided to be the king. Not to mention that she always hangs around the flower house on weekdays. She is the one with the worst reputation.
If you marry the son of the prime minister's family, it's hard to say whether you will be rewarded or demoted.
After all, she was marrying into the royal family, and it was reasonable to say that she favored the powerful officials. However, except for the Crown Princess, there were only three His Royal Highnesses who were of the right age. This marriage was not an obvious punishment.
That's why the Queen has yet to make a decision.
The slightly better ones, such as His Highness the Fifth, only have two concubines in the house, which is quite satisfactory.
As for Gardenia, the harem is still clean so far.
She was unwilling to do so, and because she often worked out of town, the Queen was not in a hurry about this matter, so it didn't have much impact.
His Highness the Fifth raised his head subconsciously when he heard this.
"real?"
Gardenia blinked her eyes and asked honestly.
"Didn't you say that you have nothing to do with him?"
"..."
If it weren't for the fact that this was the eldest sister, His Highness would have wanted to ask her if she did it on purpose.
Seeing that she was choking, the little girl sighed in an old-fashioned way.
"Is it true? Do you need me to ask the Queen Mother to issue an order?"
His Highness the Fifth Prince was moved for a moment, but finally shook his head and shamefully found an excuse to leave.
"Since the things have been delivered, I will leave first so as not to disturb Sister Huang's rest."
Watching His Highness the Fifth Escape, and then seeing His Highness touching his chin and pretending to be mature, the maid couldn't help but speak.
"Your Highness has so much energy, why not worry about your own harem."
Gardenia pretended not to hear this.
"Well, it's really getting late. It's time to go back to the palace and rest!"
The maid standing behind shook her head helplessly.
But thinking about how special His Highness was to Mr. Yan, she couldn't help but look forward to it. Maybe His Highness would marry a husband soon.
…
The next day.
At the usual time, Yan Xi hadn't waited for the notice from the boss, so she couldn't help but look out the window, with a trace of expectation in her eyes that she didn't even notice.
The attendant on the side subconsciously glanced outside and asked doubtfully.
"Master, is there anything you want to eat?"
Yan Xi pursed her lips and retracted her thoughts.
"Just looking around."
The attendant said oh, thought about it, and then went over and pushed the window open.
"If the light is brighter, it won't hurt your eyes easily when you read."
After saying that, he thoughtfully poured him a cup of tea.
"Young Master, you might as well take a rest. You have been watching for a long time today. Can you take Qin over when His Highness comes over?"
The young man paused for a moment, looked at the tea swaying in the porcelain cup, and spoke softly.
"Your Highness, will you come back today?"
The attendant scratched his head and asked a little strangely.
"Why do you ask, Master? Is it because Your Highness couldn't come yesterday? I was still thinking of making the newly learned lotus cake for Your Highness to try today."
After saying that, he subconsciously looked at the sky outside and made a decision.
"Why don't I go ask the chief?"
Yan Xi took a sip from the teacup and nodded.
…
The attendant had been away for a long time, and Yan Xi couldn't stand reading while sitting by the window, so she simply stood up and opened the door.
After walking a few steps, I heard someone arguing over there.
"What? Your young master has finally been abandoned by the Crown Princess? As a servant, it probably won't last long. Besides, with our status, we don't know what he is doing."
"Yes, they are all young masters of Hualou. To put it harshly, apart from being praised for their reputation, what is the difference between them and the kind of little brats who come here just for the sake of it? It's not because of their charming face."
"Hey, they are different from us. We are still slaves, but someone has already fallen in love with a noble girl. How can we compare?"
