Chapter 43: Chapter 43 For Concubine’s Use Only

Chapter 43 -43 For Concubine’s Use Only

“Hahaha, really? She knelt down?” Dong Yue’s voice rang out, delighted by the disaster.

“Exactly, the Prince didn’t indulge her at all, he firmly pushed her shoulders down to kneel. I saw it clearly from outside the courtyard gate, her face even turned pale.”

“Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter, it’s so satisfying, letting her bully our Princess Consort.”

Lin Fuying, listening from behind a screen, imagined Chu Nanli’s embarrassing scene, and her heart suddenly felt much relieved.

She glided out of the room and said, “Dong Yue, prepare the bathing supplies, I want to take a rose bath tonight before meeting the Prince.”

Upon hearing this, Dong Yue chuckled and said, “Rest assured, my lady. I will prepare the best rose petals and fragrances in the mansion to ensure you and the Prince have a delightful evening.”

Lin Fuying frowned slightly at her and scolded, “You girl, make sure not to talk too much.”

However, she didn’t deny that she was going to the Imperial Attendant.

“My lady is truly the apple of the Prince’s eye, there’s nothing I shouldn’t say. Even in front of that Princess Consort, I dare to speak this way.”

“Alright.”

Lin Fuying feigned displeasure and curtly chided her.

Dong Yue then fell silent, and along with another maid, left the area.

Once the two figures disappeared from the doorway, Lin Fuying’s gaze gradually darkened, her face shadowed with gloom.

It was fortunate that the vile child in Chu Nanli’s womb had miscarried. Otherwise, even if the Prince didn’t acknowledge the child now, when the child grew up… it might become a big problem for her.

Night fell quickly, and Chu Nanli decided to bathe, learning that there was a bathing pool in the mansion where she could clean herself more thoroughly, so she took some clothes and planned to head there.

Yanyan, aware of her intent, immediately gathered the few soapberries they had in their courtyard to guide Chu Nanli.

However, they were stopped by the Prince’s steward upon reaching the bathhouse courtyard.

“What is this for, Princess Consort?” The steward saw the clothes Yanyan was carrying but pretended not to know.

Chu Nanli felt a sinking feeling, sensing trouble on the way.

“The Princess Consort is here to bathe,” Yanyan answered.

“Oh,…” The steward’s face displayed exaggerated surprise, his voice rising slightly, “Princess Consort, didn’t you know? The Prince has ordered that your standard of living in the mansion cannot compare with before, and this bathing pool, it is now reserved solely for Concubine Lin.”

Chu Nanli’s eyes darkened.

Just as expected.

She then signaled to Yanyan to leave.

The steward, still smiling, said, “Princess Consort, how about this? Although the bathing pool is now reserved for Concubine Lin, since she and you are as close as sisters, I am sure if you ask her, she would be willing to let you use it.”

Indeed, of the two women in the mansion, it was Concubine Lin who had the skills and enjoyed the Prince’s favor the most; by siding with Concubine Lin, he could keep his position as steward smoothly.

Chu Nanli could clearly hear the underlying mockery in the steward’s voice, and seeing Yanyan about to confront him, she pulled her back and coldly said, “I see, the steward is being such a lackey for Concubine Lin that he might speak more effectively on my behalf with her than I, so why not you ask her for me?”

The steward’s face stiffened.

Disgusted, Chu Nanli withdrew her gaze and said to Yanyan, “Let’s go back.”

Yanyan nodded and immediately followed behind her.

Watching the master and servant leave, the steward’s face turned various shades of red and white, finally spitting softly once they were out of sight.

“Put on airs all you want, I’m just waiting for the day you become deposed.”

Back at her chambers, Yanyan suggested letting the kitchen heat some water for her bath and had a tub carried into her room, which was then enclosed by screens.

However, Chu Nanli wasn’t accustomed to the small bath tub, so she dismissed her attendants and went to her own quarters to bathe.
