Chapter 22 The Legendary Harem
"That...not...in fact, the prince didn't ask me to come here. I was just curious and wanted to come in and have a look, so...that's why I said that."

Yan Ruobing was a little embarrassed to explain, especially when she saw those expectant eyes, she suddenly felt guilty.

The eyes of the woman who knew the truth were filled with tears, and she covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and began to cry. The heartbroken look looked so lovable.

"You! How can you be like this! Make my lady happy, you are not welcome here! Get out!"

Seeing her master crying, the maid next to the woman in pink immediately glared at Yan Ruobing, and even asked to drive her out.

"Xiaoyun! Don't be rude!"

The woman in pink stopped her maid, then wiped away her tears with silk, looked at Yan Ruobing apologetically, and said in a very general way: "Xiao Yun is so blunt and impolite, girl, don't take offense."

Seeing that this person was easy to talk to, Yan Ruobing asked, "Who are the people living here? Why are you all closing your doors and not seeing anyone?"

The woman in pink took Yan Ruobing to the hall to rest, and ordered Xiaoyun to make tea before chatting with Yan Ruobing.

"The girl has just entered the mansion not long ago. The women who live in every courtyard here are brought back by the prince."

A simple sentence made Yan Ruobing suddenly realize that this is Huangfuao's harem.She had only heard that Huangfuao had a lot of women before, but she didn't expect that there were so many of them.

There are twenty or thirty courtyards here, large and small.There are twenty or thirty women around a prince, which can be regarded as a group of concubines.

"Then why don't you seem to be very happy and rarely go out for a walk?"

Yan Ruobing continued to ask curiously. She wandered around the palace several times, but she rarely met the women who were rumored to be Huang Fuao's, so much so that she always thought that those rumors were not true.

"Hey... Forgive Yinxue to ask one more question, how long has the girl been in the palace? Have you ever received the favor of the prince?"

Through the conversation, Yan Ruobing knew that the woman in pink was Yinxue, and she was the daughter of a merchant.Because of a business deal, Yinxue's father and Huangfu Ao got acquainted. In order to cooperate with Huangfu Ao for a long time, Yinxue's father married her to Huangfu Ao.

And Yinxue also fell in love with Huangfu Ao at first sight. She originally thought that she could live a happy life when she came to the palace, but unexpectedly, on the night of her marriage, Huangfu Ao was assigned to Yuexia Pavilion by Huangfu Ao, and she never saw Huangfu Ao himself again. .

Yan Ruobing knew what Yinxue meant by grace, although she didn't say anything, she shook her head to show her answer.

"Alas... In fact, all the women here are like you and me. They have never been favored by the prince, and many of them have never even seen what the prince looks like..."

Speaking of this, Yinxue couldn't help but shed tears again.

After Yan Ruobing roughly understood the situation, she knew what was going on, and was even more shocked by Huangfu Ao's strange behavior.

Since he didn't like it, why did he raise so many women in his palace?Is there really nowhere to spend more money?
The most important thing is that all the women locked up in these courtyards are young and beautiful, but Huangfu Ao is actually indifferent, keeping them all here, ignoring them, not even touching them once!

Is he still a man after all!Is it true that the third prince, Huangfu Ao, is not a womanizer and has a penchant for cutting off sleeves, as rumored?

Yan Ruobing cried out in her heart, feeling sorry for these women who were imprisoned and wasted their youth for nothing.

The angry look on Yan Ruobing's face suggested that the emperor might not have been so ruthless before.

"Girl, don't be angry. After a long time, you will naturally get used to it."

Seeing Yan Ruobing was very angry, Yinxue comforted her kindly.

She thought Yan Ruobing was the same as she was back then, just a new concubine Ji with no background.So I can understand Yan Ruobing's mood at the moment, and I can naturally compare with Yan Ruobing.

"You are so stupid! Don't you ever think about going home and remarrying?"

Yan Ruobing didn't listen to Yinxue's advice. For her, it was absolutely impossible for her to be like them, waiting day after day for Huangfu Ao to favor her, and finally looking forward to her old age, but what? Haven't got it yet.

"It's not that we are stupid, it's that your thinking is too naive. Do you think that the woman who became the prince will have no status, so we still have a chance to choose? Don't say it's going home to remarry, even if you want to leave the palace , is also difficult."

"Yes, girl, my lady and I have been in the palace for half a year, and we have never left the palace once. Even if the lady is sick, I can only endure it."

Xiaoyun on the side said with red eyes, as soon as the words fell, Yinxue couldn't help coughing.

"Xiaoyun, who told you to talk too much!"

Yinxue coughed and scolded her maid, Yan Ruobing saw that she was not pretending, so she took the initiative to feel Yinxue's pulse.

"Let me help you. I read some medical books when I was a child. Some simple ailments can still be cured."

As Yan Ruobing said, she stretched out her hand to check Yinxue's pulse. No wonder when she saw Yinxue for the first time just now, she didn't have much energy and looked sickly. It turned out that she was really sick.

"Girl, do you really know how to cure diseases? If you can cure my young lady, Xiaoyun will be very grateful!"

Seeing Yan Ruobing, Xiao Yun seemed to have seen a savior, and she kept saying nice things from the sidelines.

Yan Ruobing saw that the master and servant were pure and kind people, so she really wanted to help them from the bottom of her heart.

"Your lady just has a small cold, she will be fine after taking the medicine, and there will be no serious problems."

"A little cold? What kind of disease is this?"

Hearing Yan Ruobing say some strange words, even the gentle and quiet Yinxue couldn't help asking curiously.

Realizing that she had made a mistake, Yan Ruobing quickly changed her words, "I just got a not-so-severe cold, and I happen to have medicine at my place. I'll ask my maid to bring it to you later."

"Thank you, girl. After talking for so long, I still don't know what to call the girl?"

After talking for a while, the two gradually became acquainted. Yan Ruobing felt that Yin Xueren was not bad, so she was not wary of her.

"My name is Yan Ruobing!"

"Then I'll call you Bing'er from now on!"

Yinxue held Yan Ruobing's hand and smiled happily.But she didn't know Yan Ruobing's princess status, otherwise, I'm afraid they wouldn't be friends anymore.

Yan Ruobing was in a good mood, so she naturally agreed.
