Bab 40: A Cruel Husband

The next morning Yi Huiqing woke up as usual. Her maids had a very nervous expression on their faces. She could feel her personal maidservant sneaking glances at her as she waited upon her.

But she ignored everything.

'Ignorance is bliss. How true.' Yi Huiqing thought.

Till the time, she was ready for the day, the concubines had already gathered in the front hall to pay respects in the early morning.

The front hall of the Lantai Courtyard was bustling with chattering and snickers as everyone waited for the new concubine.

However, much to their disappointment, the person they had been waiting for never came even after the wangfei had arrived.

Sitting on the higher seat, Yi Huiqing looked at the fake smiles on every concubine's face.

Zhao Zhang Wei had two concubines before she had entered the Imperial Palace and three new concubines entered after her marriage. Counting the Concubine Shaolin, Xinhe Palace had a total of six concubines now.
