"Concubine?" Yin Mei had never heard of this matter.
She only knew that Prince Rui had not yet married, and the positions of the principal wife and concubine were vacant, but she did not expect that there were concubines.
She lowered her head indifferently, with no ups and downs in her heart.
Yes, isn't it normal for a rich family to have three wives and four concubines? Prince Rui is already 29 years old, and there is only one concubine living in the backyard. What's so surprising about that?
Taohua suddenly became mysterious, "Miss, I talked with the maids in the palace for an entire afternoon, and talked to all the men in the capital. Lord Shen is really the strangest man in the capital."
"Really?" Yin Mei felt curious.
She did think Shen Yunshu was strange, but she had never thought about how other people saw him. Yin Mei tugged at Taohua's finger and asked, "Tell me about it?"
"Lord Shen is past the age of marriage. I heard that he won the top three places in the imperial examinations that year, and the emperor wanted to arrange a marriage for him, but he refused." Peach Blossom became interested.
"And I heard that Lord Shen is extremely capable. He rose rapidly at a young age and solved countless state affairs that troubled the emperor. The emperor favors him very much, so even though he repeatedly refuses marriage proposals, the emperor can't do anything about it and still lets him sit firmly in his current position."
"The women in the capital all say that Lord Shen Yunshu is the only weird man who can marry whomever he wants, but doesn't want to marry anyone."
Yin Mei found it interesting.
"Then there's the story of him not being interested in women." Taohua said, "I heard that the Western Regions came to pay tribute last year and sent more than 30 Western beauties. The emperor wanted to tease Lord Shen, so he locked him up with ten Western beauties to see how Lord Shen would behave."
"Ten?" Yin Mei was shocked. "What happened next?"
"Later, no one knew what happened. They only said that after they entered the room, they saw a group of fainted beauties on the ground. Their clothes were all neatly dressed. Lord Shen looked normal, without any smell of powder on his body. He sat at the table and wrote a letter of leave. He did not attend court for ten days, which made the emperor so anxious that he personally came to the door to ask him to go back."
It seems like something he would have done, Yin Mei thought.
"The strange thing is that, even so, there are still many women in the capital who want to marry him. I heard that even the daughter of Grand Tutor Qin likes him very much." Taohua curled her lips and said, "Don't they worry that he is a homosexual?"
Yin Mei lowered her head and laughed.
The carriage arrived at Yin's house. Yin Mei's feet still hurt a little, so Taohua helped her get off the carriage. As she walked slowly inside, she suddenly seemed to feel something and turned her head back.
There is no one here.
The streets were empty, but Yin Mei inexplicably felt a chill on her back.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Taohua asked.
"Nothing, it's just a little cold, come inside quickly."
At this time, on the upper floor of the silver shop not far away, He Yong pointed at the disappearing figure at the door and said cautiously, "Your Highness, the woman I met in Yue Ningxuan that day was this woman."
