Seeing that Yun Sheng was being looked down upon, Dugu Xiu couldn't help but get angry.
"Second Brother, Sheng 'er is my woman. She doesn't need to know magic or martial arts. Or do you think that I can't even protect my own woman? "
"Your Highness, don't misunderstand. I was just curious. With Your Highness around, the Crown Princess naturally doesn't need to learn anything. However, compared to the women Your Highness took in earlier, the Crown Princess is really different. "
Dugu Qian smiled and didn't say anything else.
Dugu Xiu frowned at the side.
Dugu Qian's intentions were really vicious.
He didn't have the slightest intention of going tit for tat when he spoke. In fact, he had figured out the background of the future Crown Princess with just a few words.
Since her adoptive parents were dead, she had no one to rely on. There was no need to worry about any power behind her.
If she didn't know martial arts or magic, she would be the biggest good-for-nothing.
Not only that, Dugu Qian also pointed out that there were many women in Dugu Xiu's mansion with ulterior motives.
As a woman, she couldn't change her nature of being jealous.
As the Crown Prince of the Later Qin, Dugu Xiu had many women in his mansion. Many of them were snatched from Dugu Qian and other princes and important officials.
Although these women were not important, to the princes, they were like family assets that could be used to show off. Dugu Xiu had always been domineering and arbitrary, snatching other people's women. Dugu Qianke had always held a grudge against him in his heart. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he could take revenge.
Yun Sheng, on the other hand, looked as if she did not fully understand. She did not interrupt the conversation between the two of them from beginning to end. She only cared about eating her pastries and drinking her tea. Only when she heard Dugu Qian's final words did she pause.
"Dugu Xiu, you have many women?" As Yun Sheng spoke, her eyes flashed like the sparkling surface of a river. Her voice was soft, but it was rare for her to have such a good tone.
But Dugu Xiu felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard it.
He couldn't help feeling guilty and said stiffly, "Those were sent by others. Don't worry, I'll take care of them."
Dugu Xiu didn't forget that Yun Sheng's first reason for rejecting the marriage was that the man she wanted must have no one else in his heart and be with her for the rest of his life.
Many of the women in the Crown Prince's residence were related to Dugu Xiu. It would be difficult to deal with them.
Dugu Xiu's original intention was to settle Yun Sheng in one of his other courtyards first. He would wait until he had cleaned up the women in his residence before taking her over.
"Oh, it is the Crown Princess' fortune that the Crown Prince is so considerate of the Crown Princess. However, Crown Prince Consort, the Crown Prince is the future heir apparent of the Later Qin. The women in his residence all have status and background. Crown Prince Consort, you should get along well with them. "Dugu Qian was still fanning the flames, wishing for the world to be in chaos.
"Second Prince is right. Why don't Second Prince introduce them to me so that I won't offend them and embarrass the Crown Prince?" Yun Sheng put down the pastries and asked in a tone of asking for advice.
It had to be said that Yun Sheng's feminine side was extremely lethal. Even Dugu Qian's heart fluttered when he saw it.
He thought to himself, This little girl is a natural seductress. When I defeat Dugu Xiu, I'll capture you and vent my anger.
Dugu Xiu saw the lecherous look in Dugu Qian's eyes, and his gaze turned cold.
"As the future mistress of the Crown Prince's residence, Crown Princess should know more about your sisters. There are more than two hundred concubines and maids in the Crown Prince's residence. Among them, there are ten who have titles. Of these ten, three have the most important status, "Dugu Qian said.
Speaking of the beauties in Dugu Xiu's residence, Dugu Qian was a bit envious.
"Imperial Brother really knows about the matters in the Xiu residence. You don't even remember me. So I've already taken in more than two hundred concubines." Dugu Xiu's tone was so cold that it could freeze someone to death.
Dugu Qian felt a chill in his heart.
They were only women. Was there a need for Dugu Xiu to be so angry?
"Second Prince is a male guest. Let this servant explain the matters in the Crown Prince's residence one by one. It's also this servant's fault for being busy during this period of time and not being able to explain to the princess. "Madam Chi Bi held a cup of warm wine and considerately poured wine for Dugu Xiu and the others.
As Madam Chi Bi spoke, she leaned on Dugu Xiu's side in an ambiguous manner.
Although Dugu Xiu had brought back Yun Sheng as he wished, it was a pity that he could only watch and not do anything.
Just by looking at such a living and fragrant beauty, he was naturally very angry. It was inevitable that he would find someone to vent his anger on.
Although Madam Chi Bi was happy to cater to him, when she thought of how Dugu Xiu had called out Yun Sheng's name when he was aroused, she already hated Yun Sheng to death.
However, Madam Chi Bi naturally wouldn't reveal these women's little tricks on her face. On the surface, she still treated Yun Sheng with respect.
As soon as Madam Chi Bi appeared, the look in Second Prince Dugu Qian's eyes changed.
He had mentioned earlier that there were three women in the Crown Prince's residence that he needed to pay attention to, and one of them was Madam Chi Bi.
Madam Chi Bi's identity and background were unknown, but her body was full of flirtatious bones. Whether it was in the hall or on the bed, she was a rare beauty.
On the surface, she was given to Dugu Xiu by the left prime minister of the eastern capital, but in reality, she was the one who led Dugu Xiu and the left prime minister to cooperate.
If not for the left prime minister's matchmaking, Dugu Xiu wouldn't have been able to marry the princess of the East Royal Dynasty.
Dugu Xiu's marriage would undoubtedly strengthen his position as the Crown Prince.
With Madam Chi Bi's introduction, Yun Sheng had a general understanding of the women in the Crown Prince's residence.
The number of women in the Crown Prince's residence that the second prince had mentioned earlier was more or less correct.
Dugu Xiu had a total of 238 concubines and maids. These women were all under the age of 23, and all of them had outstanding looks and good family backgrounds.
As for the three women that the second prince needed to pay attention to, other than Madam Chi Bi, there were two other women. They were Dugu Xiu's concubines, Madam Li and Madam Qing.
The first concubine, Madam Li, was a member of the imperial family of Tang Yuan. She was the second prince's half-sister.
Madam Li's birth mother was Li Shao's wet nurse, and she had been taking care of Li Shao and his mother for many years.
One day, when the Emperor of Tang Yuan was drunk, he favored Madam Li's birth mother and gave birth to Madam Li.
Although Madam Li was born from a palace maid, she had been raised by Li Shao's mother, so she had always been treated like a princess. When she got married, she married into the Later Qin Dynasty under the name of Princess Tang Yuan.
As for Madam Qing, her status was higher than Madam Li's, because her surname was Qing. Her aunt was the niece of Dugu Xiu's birth mother, Empress Qing.
In terms of status, both of them were above Madam Chi Bi. Madam Qing had married into the Crown Prince's residence early and already had a son. Madam Li had married into the Crown Prince's residence half a year ago. She was young and beautiful, so Dugu Xiu doted on her.
