The prince told her that he had never taken any palace maids.
That seemed very unbelievable, too incredible to contemplate.
She had heard from her sisters' husbands. When they returned, they occasionally mentioned that they had concubines before marriage. After getting married, these concubines were all arranged by their wives.
Even the sons of ordinary officials have concubines. How could the prince not have any?
She should be happy, but she felt inexplicably sad for the prince.
It was the empress who arranged this. How could the crown prince trust the people who were arranged by the empress? Of course, he would not accept them.
Those without the protection of a mother have to think carefully about every step in this deep palace.
Although she had never met her father, both her birth mother and stepmother cared for her very meticulously. At least in these daily life matters, she never felt wronged.
"What are you thinking?"
