Chapter 19 of Volume 1: I still like living in a separate courtyard
Li Xiuxian sat in the main seat, with Wang Fei sitting beside her, and the two concubines also seated. The rest of the maids and servants were standing, including Ah Fu, who was standing to one side. The two concubines stood behind Wang Fei. As soon as Han Caiwei entered, she prepared to sit down, but Shuang'er hastily pulled her back, whispering in her ear: "Miss, your status doesn't allow you to sit, and since this is your first time returning to the palace, Miss should also serve tea to Wang Fei!"
As soon as Shuang'er finished speaking, a maid immediately brought tea and served a cup to each of the beauties. Han Caiwei slightly pursed her lips, thinking that while others were seated, she had to stand up and serve tea to the eldest wife - what kind of thing was this?
She let out a slight sigh, took the hot tea from the small serving girl's tray, lifted the lid and took a sip, smacked her lips, then smiled at the small serving girl: "Thank you, it's very good."
Han Chae-yi's words were not loud, but everyone in the hall was taken aback after hearing them, and then they all fell silent at the same time, staring at Princess Wang Qi-xiao with the corner of their eyes.
Ji Zhaohui's expression didn't change, but she smiled slightly and said to the maid beside her: "Qiuhua, go get the gift I prepared and show it to the young master."
Xiao Meinan was the first child in the Wang family, although he was born out of wedlock, but as the eldest son of the mansion, he couldn't be treated carelessly. The golden bangles sent by the queen were not something that others could easily match, so they all had to settle for similar ones. However, a small box of things was given, and Xiao Meinan being young, handed everything over to Han Caimei to take care of. Han Caimei looked at the pile of gold and silver in the box and her heart bloomed with joy.
"Xu'er, come here."
The young man walked to Li Xiuzhen's side, and Li Xiuzhen had Ah Fu call all the servants and maids in the mansion to come to the front yard. He said a few words, telling them to pay their respects to the young master. The young man also did it with ease, graciously accepting the bows of the crowd. After everyone dispersed, Li Xiuzhen turned around and said to the people in the hall: "Six years ago, Madame Han left the mansion, actually to pray for blessings for our king's mother. She was weak and had been resting in a separate courtyard for several years. The young master has always accompanied her. Recently, the king saw that the young master had grown up and shouldn't stay in the separate courtyard anymore, so he brought him back and had him live in the Haitang Pavilion."
Han Caiwei watched from the side and sighed in her heart. This Third Prince was also quite brazen when it came to spouting nonsense, not even turning red or gasping for air!
Li Xiuzhen revealed some other things, but Han Caixia didn't pay attention to them. She glanced around and sensed a lot of hostile atmosphere. Many people's eyes were filled with disdain, contempt, or even disgust. She had no intention of staying in the palace for long, but Little Beauty would definitely face many difficulties if he stayed here. Even that unknown mastermind behind the scenes would likely make a move against him. No matter how clever he was, he was still just a child, and being alone in this place made it impossible for him to cope. Thinking about this, her heart couldn't help but feel some worry.
"Your Highness, although there are people taking care of him in the Haitang Pavilion, after all, it's a change of environment and Xu'er must be having a hard time adapting. Moreover, he hasn't been with Your Highness for six years, he is still just a child after all. I suppose Your Highness wouldn't mind living together with him?"
Han Caiwei's words left everyone stunned once again.
In the Sanwangye Mansion, everyone knew that Wang Ye's plum garden was not allowed to stay overnight, and only the queen could enter and exit at will. Now, Han Caiwei's proposal made half of the people in the hall frightened, while the other half looked on with cold eyes.
Li Xiuzhen fell silent for a moment, his eyes narrowing slightly as he gazed at Han Caiwei with a hint of coldness. Then, when he looked at the young man again, his gaze gradually softened, and he nodded slightly. He turned to Ah Fu beside him and said, "Ah Fu, go prepare things. The young master will temporarily stay in my Plum Garden for now."
Ji Zhaohui was slightly surprised, but she covered it up well, only looking at Han Caiwei with a questioning gaze: "Sister doesn't live in the Wang Manor?"
Han Caiwei hugged a box of gold and silver, laughing sincerely: "I just sent Xu'er back, I still like living in the other courtyard." Who wants to fight for favor with you guys for no reason?
