Long Live the Empress

Chapter 132 Rong Hua Enters the Mansion

Three days later, there was no music or singing in the Fan Mansion, and there were no lights or decorations. Everything was the same as usual. Fan Ronghua was quietly carried away from the side door of the Fan Mansion in a sedan chair.

But now, Fan Ronghua was only wearing a pink high-waisted skirt and a peach pink brocade robe bought from a ready-made clothing store, which was not even made of Shu brocade. The headpiece on her head was also of the old style, making Fan Ronghua look shabby.

Fan Ronghua also felt very ashamed, so she did not inform anyone about her visit to the Prince's Mansion today.

The Prince's Mansion was as quiet as the Fan Mansion, and you couldn't tell at all that there would be a new arrival in the Prince's Mansion today.

Fan Ronghua had been practicing etiquette since she was a child, especially the etiquette of a prince's wife when getting married. She practiced it almost every day, so that she could face the royal family with the best attitude when she married the second prince. But at this time, she didn't need any etiquette. As soon as she got off the sedan chair, she was led into the room by the servants.

The yard that the housekeeper prepared for Fan Ronghua was not very big, but it was very exquisite, which gave Fan Ronghua some comfort.

The room was decorated in a very luxurious style, with an exquisitely carved couch and a dressing table filled with jewelry, all made of red sandalwood. The ornaments on the treasure cabinet were all priceless! When he opened the closet, it was filled with silk, satin, fox fur, and mink fur...

The prince really has her in his heart!

This realization made Fan Ronghua very happy. The prince was the person she would rely on for the rest of her life. As long as she could win the prince's favor, her days as a concubine would not last too long!

"Where is the prince?" Fan Ronghua hadn't seen the prince since he entered the mansion. At this moment, he was moved by the prince's arrangements, so he hurriedly asked the housekeeper.

The prince's steward was originally the most capable eunuch beside the queen, and later followed the prince to the prince's mansion to serve as a steward. "The prince is busy with government affairs, please wait a moment, Aunt Fan!"

Aunt Fan? It took Fan Ronghua a while to realize that the Aunt Fan the housekeeper was talking about was herself.

Aunt? This title made Fan Ronghua's heart ache. She was born in a noble family, but she became the concubine of the prince's mansion without knowing it... It was really fate's trick!

"Thank you, butler!" Fan Ronghua gave the little maid a look, and the little maid quickly took out a large purse and stuffed it into the butler's pocket. "Please take good care of me in the future!"

The housekeeper was not polite. He took the purse and bowed, "Madam Fan, you are too polite! If you are bored, you can walk around the mansion! I will take my leave!"

After the housekeeper left, the maids quickly packed up the dowry that Fan Ronghua brought.

When Fan Ronghua left the Fan Mansion, she brought with her two maids and two loads of dowry, nothing else.

It was said that there were two loads of dowry, but in fact one and a half of them were clothes, and the remaining half was also the jewelry that Fan Ronghua had used before and a silver note worth one thousand taels.

For an ordinary small family, ten taels of silver is enough for a whole year's expenses, and one thousand taels is simply an astronomical figure. But for a young lady from a noble family like Fan Ronghua who has to go to Wanjinxiang to buy rouge, one thousand taels is simply pitiful!

The little maid held the banknote in her hand, and finally couldn't help biting her lip and said, "Miss, Madam only gave you one thousand taels, you should save some of it! In the future, just give some change to the servants as a reward, don't be like just now..."

Fan Ronghua interrupted the maid impatiently, "This is the prince's mansion! If I give too little reward, I'll be laughed at! Besides, can the prince reduce my monthly allowance?"

When the little maid saw that Fan Ronghua was angry, she quickly shut her mouth. They had all seen Fan Ronghua's methods of punishing his servants, so it was better for her to keep quiet at this time!

......................................................

The prince, who was supposed to be enjoying the warmth of Yue Jinghong in the prince's mansion, was now having a secret meeting with Yue Jinghong in Jingxin Tea House.

Yue Jinghong's eyes were red, tears welling up in her eyes. "Today is... the day when Fan Ronghua comes to the palace. Why did the prince pass a letter to this servant?"

The prince put his arm around Yue Jinghong's shoulders and said, "The only person I want to see is you. She is just an accident! Even if she is granted as my concubine by my father, I will never touch her again!"

Yue Jinghong grabbed the prince's collar and looked up at that gentle face, "Really? But she is the granddaughter of the Minister of Revenue after all... If he treats her badly, the prince will have a hard time explaining himself!"

"I don't have to give an explanation to anyone! As long as Jinghong doesn't get angry with me, I will be satisfied!"

"I feel sorry for the prince, so how can I be angry?"
