Why build so many empty houses when no one lives in them?
As if aware of Bai Yuyue's doubts, Hongying said coldly:
"These houses were originally occupied by the prince's maids. About two years ago, the prince invited them all out. Only two concubines are left. I hope the prince can change his mind."
"Now, after the prince passed away, these two concubines also left, and the entire palace is empty."
"What about you? Are you also his concubine?"
Saihan was a little surprised to see Hongying being so familiar with the affairs of Prince Lanling's Mansion.
Isn't she the number one in Yulouchun?
"Princess, this slave is originally a maid of the prince's palace. She was sent to Yulouchun by the prince many years ago to work as an insider."
"After Fengmei, Yulouchun has long since calmed down, and there is no need for me to worry about it anymore. I have been following the prince these days, imitating his words and deeds, just in case of emergencies."
The three of them were silent.
Indeed, during the days when Cang Xiyao disappeared and died, Hongying had always regarded himself as the "King of Lanling" in front of outsiders, sitting in the army and stabilizing the morale of the army. He did not reveal his identity until the war was completed.
In such a large palace, there are so many empty rooms. You can imagine how many beauties there would have been for his entertainment in its heyday.
Whether these women were given by Cang Xilin, given by others to please him, or snatched by himself, he accepted them all with joy.
Cang Xi is nostalgic for the flowers, not only because she is free and uninhibited, but also for another important reason:
Cang Xilin needs him to become such an idle prince.
The more he messes around, the safer he is. As long as he doesn't violate the bottom line, Cang Xilin is happy to watch him cause trouble everywhere.
People say, "When you are full and warm, you can think about your sexual desires."
Cang Xiyao does not need to work at all, but can still get high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
