Chapter 43 Prince Duan returns and a new concubine enters the mansion!
Su Ci didn't expect the Gao family's master and servant to react like this.

When she came to serve tea and have lunch before, she felt that Gao seemed very kind and did not act like a mother-in-law. She just thought she was a kind person.

Facts have proven that both Madam Gao and Nanny Ning looked down on her from the bottom of their hearts.

The slight good impression she had of Gao this morning disappeared without a trace at this moment.

Su Ci frowned and replied softly, "Mother is right. With your status, it is impossible for your wife to be the only one in the backyard. It is your wife's fault that Miss Bai lives in the palace without any status. Your Highness did not return to the palace on the wedding night yesterday, which shows that your Highness does not like your wife. Instead of hoping that your wife will give birth to an heir for your Highness soon, mother, it is better for your Highness to take in a few more concubines. What do you think, mother?"

Gao was secretly delighted when she heard this, and she subconsciously looked at Nanny Ning.

Nanny Ning's face suddenly wrinkled with smile: "Look, the princess is so wise and righteous, it is a blessing for your highness and the palace! Since the princess has married into the palace, she is now the mistress of the palace. The princess can make the decision on this matter. However, it is better to do it as soon as possible."

In case Your Highness returns home and is unwilling to take a concubine.

"Madam, you are right. I plan to get this done today. I have a few candidates in mind. Would you like to hear them first, mother?" The first name Su Ci gave was Bai Shuang.

Gao liked Bai Shuang very much, but Zhao Shizhu was unwilling to take a concubine, let alone a maid, and rejected her many times.

This time Su Ci is taking the lead, so she can be the hands-off boss. Why not?
"Miss Wen San from the prefecture is also a good person. Perhaps she can be taken into the palace. Of course, we have to ask Lord Wen and Miss Wen San for their opinions on this matter." Su Ci mentioned Wen Yan's name again. "Miss Wen's matter is not urgent. We can report this matter to the government today. What do you think, mother?"

Gao smiled from ear to ear: "You are really thoughtful. I will ask Aning to go to the government office and settle this matter later."

Zhuoqing wanted to take a concubine, so there was no reason for the government not to agree.

As a prince of Zhuoqing, it is no problem for him to take a few more concubines.

By the time Zhuoqing returned to the palace, Baishuang had already been carried in, and the matter was a done deal.

But Nanny Ning quickly thought of a question and whispered something to Gao, who frowned after hearing it.

Su Ci saw it clearly: "If mother has any difficulties, you can tell your wife directly. Your wife will definitely overcome all difficulties and help Your Highness get a beautiful concubine."

Gao was a little embarrassed for a moment and looked at Nanny Ning.

Nanny Ning felt that Su Ci looked very reliable, so she said, "Madam still doesn't know Miss Bai's origins, and His Highness doesn't allow outsiders to know that Miss Bai lives in the palace. I am afraid that Miss Bai's origins are unknown..."

Su Ci understood instantly.

So, Bai Shuang's background is suspicious. The identity of the concubine also needs to be considered. If she is a criminal or a fugitive, she will definitely not be able to become Zhao Shizhu's concubine, and she will not be able to pass the government's test.

It seems that the reason why Zhao Shizhu was reluctant to take Bai Shuang as his concubine was not because he didn't like her, but because he couldn't.

"This is easy. Just create an identity for Miss Bai. I see that Madam Ning likes Miss Bai very much, so why not call Miss Bai a distant relative of Madam Ning? Wouldn't that solve the problem?" Su Ci quickly thought of a solution.

Nanny Ning clapped her hands in approval, and Gao naturally had no objection, so the matter was handled by Nanny Ning.

When they walked out of Dingjing Hall, Sixue sighed. Su Ci saw her sad face and smiled: "Why are you sighing?"

"Miss, why do you have to make things difficult for yourself? It's only the second day after your wedding and you're already busy finding a concubine for His Highness. His Highness and the Madame Dowager will be happy, but your life will be miserable in the future." Sixue felt sorry for her master.

Originally, the girl was pampered in the Marquis's Mansion, but after marrying into the Prince's Mansion, not only was she abandoned by Prince Duan on her wedding night, she also saw the look on the face of the Lady Dowager just now.

After all, the girl was an outsider in the palace, and the lady-in-waiting never even cared about her.

"I don't feel it's hard. Life in the prince's mansion is more comfortable than in the marquis' mansion." Su Ci didn't care and comforted Sixue instead.

Early the next morning, the lady chose an auspicious time and carried Bai Shuang from outside the palace into the palace.

Prince Duan's mansion was located on Dongxiang Street. In the morning, neighbors heard the beating of gongs and drums in the mansion, but they didn't know what was going on. Later, they saw a green sedan chair being carried into the mansion from the corner gate, and everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Judging from the situation, could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Duan has taken a concubine?
Later, when someone with a curious mind asked, it was discovered that Zhao Shizhu had indeed taken in a concubine today, and that it was the princess who arranged for her to be brought into the palace.

The story of Zhao Shizhu abandoning his bride on the wedding night had spread throughout the streets of Liangzhou. Everyone felt sorry for Su Ci for being humiliated by Prince Duan right after getting married. It was only the third day of their wedding, and it was also the day when Su Ci returned home for the third time, but Prince Duan's mansion actually brought in a new concubine. Wasn't this a humiliation to Su Ci and the Xuanping Marquis's mansion?

If you say that it was the intention of Princess Su Ci, no one would believe it. It must be the lady dowager who put pressure on Su Ci, so Su Ci had to swallow this bitter fruit, right?

Just as everyone was surrounding Prince Duan's mansion and pointing fingers, Zhao Shizhu rushed back to the mansion exhausted.

Today is the day when Su Ci returns to her parents' home. It took him some time to finally get back to the palace, simply because he didn't want Su Ci to go back to her parents' home alone.

He originally wanted to rush back to the palace on the wedding night, but the situation at the ranch was serious, so he had to stay and take charge of the situation.

After finally stabilizing the situation, we wanted to rush back to the palace yesterday, but the mountain road suddenly collapsed. It was not until midnight that a path was cleared out of the blocked mountain road.

He knew that it was Liu Hu who was behind this, and he just wanted to worsen his relationship with the Marquis Xuanping's mansion and make the Marquis Xuanping dissatisfied with him.

All he could do was to rush back to the palace on the day of the third emperor's return, accompany Su Ci back to the marquis's residence, and apologize to Su Lian.

He rushed back to the palace and found that something was wrong in front of the palace. Especially when the neighbors saw him, they looked at him as if he was a heartless man.

Because of his status, no neighbor dared to point at his nose and curse him.

"What happened?" Zhao Shizhu hadn't slept for two nights. His eyes were bloodshot and his body was covered in mud. He looked haggard, but it still couldn't hide his dignified demeanor.

"It was wrong for Your Highness to abandon the princess on the wedding night, and he even took a new concubine on the day of the wedding. Your Highness is really going too far!" A neighbor was blinded by anger and did not care about offending Zhao Shizhu. He almost pointed at his nose and cursed him.

"The king is taking a new concubine? Please explain it clearly!" Zhao Shizhu thought he had misheard and asked in disbelief.

"The guards of the palace said it themselves before, that His Highness is taking a new concubine into the palace today!" Seeing Zhao Shizhu's murderous eyes, the man mustered up the courage to reply.

Hey fairies, I didn't catch it today, so I can only update one chapter. I can't bear it any longer...
