The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1533: Chapter 1528: The Secondary Consort Enters the Mansion

But he frowned and said, "The legitimate granddaughter of the Duke of Li’s mansion is married to my brother as a secondary consort, isn’t this a bit demeaning to her?"

Although he holds the honor of a prince, he already has a Princess; the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Li’s mansion qualifies enough to become an empress, and it is more than enough to marry her off to another prince as his main consort. Marrying her to him as a secondary consort seems somewhat unfair to the Duke of Li’s mansion and Li Yunshu.

Qin Rulie laughed and said, "Previously, I also considered bestowing her to Twelve Brother, promoting him to the rank of prince, but Li Yunshu said she would only wish to marry you as a concubine and not be anyone else’s wife. With such sincerity, it really makes it difficult for me to push her to someone else."

As they spoke, they had already reached the grand hall of Zhaoren Palace.

The Empress and Qin Ge were already seated inside. In the hall, on the right-hand side, sat a woman in a blue long dress. She was stunningly beautiful with a spirited air about her. Her dress slightly touched the ground, highlighting her graceful figure, and her shining eyes with a bit of assertiveness irresistibly drew attention.

Originally a woman capable of riding horses and wielding guns, upon seeing Qin Muyan, she immediately blushed, nodding her head, somewhat unsure of herself, and clasped her hands together to salute, "Nobleman’s daughter greets the Emperor, greets... Scarlet Flame King."

"Rise, no need for excessive formalities."

Qin Rulie was very affable.

Qin Muyan also nodded slightly, acknowledging her greeting.

When Li Yunshu raised her head, she glanced shyly yet timidly at Qin Muyan, her eyes brimming with admiration and love for him, similar to that of many women he had encountered over the years.

Qin Muyan didn’t find it amusing; he merely smiled politely at her and then sat next to Qin Ge.

Upon seeing Qin Muyan and Qin Rulie entering together, Qin Ge guessed that Qin Rulie must have persuaded him about taking on concubines and secondary consorts. She held onto Qin Muyan and earnestly said, "Yunshu is my deceased husband’s niece who has been capable both in literature and martial arts since young, a model among the noble ladies of the Great Wei Dynasty. She is fond of you, having waited till eighteen without being married. You should consider Yunshu’s feelings, plus, she is only seeking the position of a secondary consort."

Qin Ge spoke straightforwardly; any other woman would have shyly been blushing and lowered their head, but Li Yunshu was different. She gazed helplessly at Qin Muyan, hoping he would see her affection and aspiration, and accept her!

Qin Muyan furrowed his brows in deep thought, then said, "Your Highness thanks Miss Li for her affection. However, I already have a Princess in my mansion, we only have a vacant position for a secondary consort, I’m afraid it might be unfair to Miss Li. Even if she gives birth to children in the future, they will be considered illegitimate and would be raised by the Princess."

Li Yunshu did not expect Qin Muyan to speak so much to her; she could only hear Qin Muyan comforting her, fearing it would be unfair, hardly registering his latter words about the Princess and illegitimacy.

She stood up, slightly bending her knees, restraining yet restraining her voice, still somewhat excited, "Being married to Your Highness, this nobleman’s daughter does not feel it an indignity; never will in this lifetime."

Her words left Qin Muyan with no good reason to refuse, so he had to agree.

However, there was no joy on his face, and when Qin Ge suggested he should select a few more maidservants to serve him, he tactfully declined, saying his mansion couldn’t accommodate so many people.

Seeing his impatience, Qin Rulie also advised Qin Ge not to push him at this time, not to put too much pressure on him.

Qin Ge had no choice but to let it go.

However, Qin Muyan accepted Li Yunshu, and today he brought her back with him in the ceremony for a secondary consort, which was something she found comforting.

Li Yunshu, hand in hand with Qin Muyan, was led into the prince’s mansion, her eyes brimming with tears of joy. Qin Muyan cared deeply about her feelings, personally selecting a courtyard for her and escorting her there himself, mentioning that although the position of secondary consort might be unworthy of her, he would still treat her well.

These words seared themselves into Li Yunshu’s heart; she would never leave him, not even in death!

Tonight, was to be their bridal chamber night.

Rong Yun had wanted to sleep with Qin Muyan tonight, as the night air had been a bit chilly these past few days. She missed the warmth of his body, akin to a furnace; holding him, she wouldn’t even need to soak her feet in warm water at night.

However, she waited until dinner, and Qin Muyan didn’t come. Instead, it was Maid Yan, pale-faced, who came to tell her, "Princess... His Highness has taken a secondary consort!"

"Secondary consort?" Rong Yun’s mind reeled, "Secondary consort means... he has married another woman?"

Maid Yan felt somewhat suffocated, her complexion growing even worse, "Yes, the secondary consort has already entered the mansion and is staying at Frost Blossom Courtyard, located at the southeast corner. It’s the largest courtyard nearest to His Highness’s own, and she is also the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Li."

This was something Maid Yan had not expected at all!

Rong Yun’s adversary had arrived too swiftly!

She had not fully learned certain things yet nor had she completely won over Qin Muyan, and now a secondary consort of noble status had entered the mansion!

This was terrible news for Rong Yun!

However, Rong Yun herself wasn’t as tense as Maid Yan. Before her marriage, her mother had taught her that a man’s harem would never consist of just one woman. Her father had thousands of beauties in his harem, and in the future, her husband’s harem would also have many women to serve him along with her. She must learn to endure and mustn’t let jealousy cause her to lose her husband’s favor.

Therefore, Rong Yun had long accepted the inevitability of other women entering the mansion.

But today, she still wanted Qin Muyan’s company, so she had Maid Yan go to Frost Blossom Courtyard to ask if Qin Muyan could spend the night with her.

Maid Yan knew well that tonight was the new secondary consort’s wedding night; His Highness would not come to accompany Rong Yun by any means.

But following Rong Yun’s character and her cautious view of the secondary consort, she still went and asked.

She had thought she wouldn’t see Qin Muyan and would be turned away at the courtyard gate, but Wei Jue came out and said His Highness asked her to come in.

Maid Yan was delighted, entered respectfully, greeted Qin Muyan, and also paid respects to the new secondary consort.

Following her, a few maids carried trays, "Reporting to Your Highness, our Princess heard about the secondary consort entering the mansion today and specifically brought gifts. Please graciously accept them, Your Highness."

Li Yunshu, pampered from a young age and unimpressed by trivial gifts, was not particularly interested in Rong Yun’s offerings, but now as Qin Muyan’s secondary consort, it was inappropriate to disrespect the Princess. She immediately stood up and gave a slight curtsey to Maid Yan, "This humble one thanks the Princess sister for her generous favor. Grateful beyond words! After serving His Highness tonight, I will surely rise early tomorrow to express my gratitude to Princess sister."

After speaking, she commanded her personal maid Chun Xing to accept the gifts and also thanked Maid Yan.

Maid Yan returned the courtesy with a smile, knowing instantly that this secondary consort madam was not an easy one to deal with. Her own princess was simple-minded, hardly a match for such cunning.
