Chapter 544: Chapter 546: He Will Have a Multitude of Wives and Concubines
Shao He nodded slightly, "I’m sorry, Miss Wan, I still have patients to see, it’s not convenient for me to chat right now."
Her words clearly meant she was dismissing her, and Wan Rong’s face remained calm as she stepped aside.
"I can wait here until Doctor Shao finishes his appointments and then we can talk in detail."
"I don’t think there is anything we need to discuss, if you want to inquire about the Crown Prince, you can ask him directly."
Shao He had lost his patience and wanted nothing more than for her to leave immediately.
Wan Rong took a deep breath and put on a rigid smile, "Doctor Shao, you misunderstand, I didn’t mean to offend you, I just genuinely wanted to be your friend."
"I am not blaming you, nor do you need to overthink it."
Hearing Shao He say this, Wan Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
For three days, Wan Rong persisted, "Doctor Shao, we meet again."
Suddenly, a maid appeared next to Wan Rong, her face like a peach blossom and eyes like autumn waves, radiantly beautiful and charming as a blossoming peony.
The maid kept staring at Shao He, making him uncomfortable, he indifferently said, "I apologize, but I have patients to see."
Wan Rong, undeterred by Shao He’s rejection, cheerily said, "Doctor Shao, don’t be polite. This is my personal maid, she knows some medical skills, and her skills are very good."
Shao He raised an eyebrow, feeling as if Wan Rong was showing off something.
"I hope Doctor Shao won’t disdain her, this girl has always wanted to meet Doctor Shao but hasn’t been fortunate enough, and now she finally has the chance."
"Doctor Shao, although my medical skills are not exquisite, I hope to assist by your side, I hope you can allow it." Lv Luo hastily added, her words sincere and her demeanor humble.
"No need." Shao He outright refused.
Lv Luo’s face turned awkward as she looked up, not expecting such a straightforward rejection.
Shao He got up to let Yun Qian see the patients, while leading the master and servant toward the back courtyard.
Shao He called out, "Have some tea."
Wan Rong smiled, sat down, and picked up a teacup, her gaze burning into Shao He.
"Do you truly like the Crown Prince, Doctor Shao?"
Seeing her ask this question, Shao He was not surprised at all. Likely, this was the question she had been bottling up inside.
Shao He nodded, "Of course."
Wan Rong pursed her lips, "What if, what if the Crown Prince wants to take a concubine?"
Shao He raised her eyebrows, already understanding her intention and quickly extinguished her hopes.
"The Crown Prince once promised me that there would only be one mistress in his mansion, no other women." Shao He said with a light smile.
"Impossible."
Shao He calmly asked, "Why would that be impossible?"
"Even commoners have three wives and four concubines, let alone the exalted Crown Prince." Wan Rong exclaimed urgently.
Upon hearing this, a hint of mockery appeared on Shao He’s face, "If he truly loves me, there can only be one woman for him, that is his promise to me, and The Emperor has implicitly agreed."
Shao He’s undisguised mockery made Wan Rong flush with shame.
"I understand now."
She bowed her head, daring not to look at Shao He again, "I apologize for interrupting your consultation, I will take my leave."
She quickly walked towards the front hall, her back revealing a hint of disarray.
After Wan Rong left, Yun Qian put down the herbs, "Aren’t you worried that she will seek revenge on you for rejecting her like that?"
Shao He shrugged, "What reason does she have to seek revenge on me? And by what right does she think I would fear her retaliation?"
"You have a point there..." Yun Qian laughed, "But by doing so, I’m afraid the Crown Prince might not be pleased."
Shao He glanced at him lightly, "If letting him have a harem pleases him? A lecher."
"Well, that last remark seems a bit pointed. I’m just kindly reminding you. After all, he is presently the Crown Prince and might someday become the Emperor. Do you really think it’s possible for there to be only one woman by his side?"
Yun Qian said this out of concern, hoping she would soon accept Pei Huaian’s current standing, as well as the eventuality of his having multiple wives and concubines.
"Of course." Shao He chose to believe.
Seeing this, Yun Qian could not say much more, merely clasped his hands and said, "May your hopes be fulfilled."
"Thank you."
...
At the Prime Minister’s Mansion,
Lv Luo jogged to catch up to Wan Rong, gently reminding, "Miss, calm your anger, though she is the Crown Princess Consort, she cannot sway the Crown Prince, and don’t forget about The Emperor."
Wan Rong stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and smiled slightly at Lv Luo, "Right, I can’t just give up."
Since her childhood, her grandfather had always told her that with her beauty, she would surely become the Crown Princess Consort,
Since then, her father had hired people to train her in etiquette, skills in needlework, and virtues, all aimed at preparing her to become the Crown Princess Consort.
She never imagined that something she had long coveted would end up in the hands of another, not even sparing her the position of a concubine.
"I must go to see my grandfather!"
Lv Luo quickly held her back, consoling, "Miss, have you forgotten? The Prime Minister has been summoned to the palace by The Emperor."
Wan Rong deflated, "Then what should I do?"
Lv Luo suggested, "Perhaps, Miss, you could return to your room and wait, meanwhile thinking of other plans."
