Zhan Beihan never cared about these things and didn't bother to worry about them.
But as the great steward, Uncle Zhou knew it well.
Just the various invitations that Prince Yi's Mansion receives every year are all packed in sacks, one bag after another, of all types.
As long as it's not too important, Uncle Zhou can push it, and at most a gift will be enough.
But there are always some special invitations that Uncle Zhou cannot and cannot push.
Just like this time.
Prince Yi’s Palace must have a copy of Concubine Shu’s birthday banquet invitation.
Zhan Beihan will definitely not go.
In terms of seniority, Concubine Shu is considered half of Zhan Beihan's elder. With her status and status in the harem, Uncle Zhou cannot refuse this kind of invitation directly.
then what should we do?
If Zhan Beihan hadn't gotten married and there was no princess in Prince Yi's palace who could really make the decision, Uncle Zhou could still use this as an excuse to pass on a birthday gift.
But Zhan Beihan is already married and has a family, so this reason cannot be used.
He doesn't have to go, but someone from Prince Yi's Mansion must show up.
Originally, it was Princess Yi who should have attended such an occasion on behalf of Prince Yi's Mansion, but that's not possible now.
The only candidate is the concubine Xie Yurui.
therefore.
Since several years ago, Xie Yurui has attended the banquets that are difficult to recommend and must be present as the hostess of Prince Yi's Mansion, and everyone inside and outside the palace has become accustomed to this.
The reason why Xie Yurui, as a concubine, is highly respected and envied in the circle of ladies in the capital, and is even on an equal footing with other princesses, is inseparable from the fact that she can represent Prince Yi's palace every time.
These things.
Zhan Beihan never knew, and he was impatient to deal with the communication between these women.
But Uncle Zhou knew it very well.
When the prince asked about it, Uncle Zhou briefly explained all the details here.
After saying that.
Uncle Zhou sighed again: "Your Majesty, don't blame me for being arrogant. Originally, these things should be taken care of by the princess, but our palace is in a special situation and the position of the princess has been vacant. There is really no way.
There is only one concubine in the palace, so the old slave is not qualified to make a decision in such a matter.
Your Majesty, you may not have time to take care of it.
Therefore, the old slave can only let the concubine make the decision.
The Concubine is also willing to do so. After she entered the palace, all the external interactions of our palace have been conducted by the Concubine.
Not only did she have the management rights of the inner courtyard of the palace, but externally, the concubines also always exercised the rights of the royal princess.
If according to the rules, the concubine is just a concubine, but if she uses the rights of the head wife, she will be laughed at.
It's just because it's Prince Yi's Mansion and because of you, Prince, that no one in the capital dares to gossip.
The side concubine is respected and supported everywhere outside, so for this birthday banquet in Jinhua Palace, Concubine Shu will directly send her an invitation."
to be honest.
Although Xie Yurui is only a concubine, Luo Li is just a concubine.
But in the eyes of outsiders in the capital, she was no different from the mistress of Prince Yi's Mansion.
Everyone regarded her as Princess Yi.
After living like this for a long time, Xie Yurui, even though she was cautious at first, gradually became ambitious and began to set her sights on the position of princess.
She is no longer willing to be just a concubine, but wants to sit on the position of Princess Yi openly and openly, so that no one can laugh at her behind her back for occupying the magpie's nest, and the villain will succeed.
