The Princess Of 100 Talents
Chapter #74
This morning the news about the emperor's leech that gave the title to the empress of prince Rong had spread very quickly, he said, and the news had been heard by Madam Xiao and mistress Xia who were sitting together inside the pavilion.
"The emperor's majesty was very wise, he gave Lin'er the title quickly, and the title of empress An was indeed very appropriate with the personality that Lin Yao possessed.
"I'm happy, Lin'er is so accepted and liked by everyone in this Chao country. Although somewhere there must be a handful of people who feel jealous, and dislike." Madam Xiao said.
"Yes, but even so they will still return to this pavilion, and I'm worried about this."
"Did his highness prince Rong really have decided on that?"
Madam Xia nodded, "One day before their wedding, some of the palace guards brought two large boxes. And those two boxes contained the belongings of the noble prince Rong."
"He has decided himself, and with the noble prince Rong's belongings here, we certainly can't say no to him."
"really. He once promised me and Lin'er, once they married his noble prince Rong would follow wherever Lin'er would stay, because Lin'er didn't want to stay inside the royal palace."
"It seems like our Lin'er has really made his noble prince Rong the notoriously ruthless one on the battlefield, being afraid of loss and not wanting if Lin'er was far away from him."
"You're right, I wish they'd always complement each other like that."
Madam Xiao nodded, "Yes."
Madam Xia looked at the tea she had in her hands, she felt a little relieved after Lin Yao had actually married prince Rong.
"Have you prepared their room?" Madam Xiao said.
"Tomorrow I'll ask some people to move some things, to make their room look more spacious."
"It's good that way."
"Yes, now Lin'er no longer lives alone inside that room. I don't want your highness Prince Rong to feel uncomfortable."
"You're right, even if we need to raise a little room."
"But that's impossible, there's only 6 days left they'll come."
"Yes, you're right."
The newly married bride will visit the bride's parents' house, to greet all family members and stay for a few days there.
But since prince Rong and Lin Yao were going to stay in that pavilion, and they came in the 7th day after their wedding, and so on they were going to stay there.

"Lin'er, drink this beef bone soup. Before it gets cold." Prince Rong said as they sat inside the palace hall of prince Rong for breakfast.
"Your highness, I have an allergy to both meat and beef bones. So I can't drink this beef bone soup."
"really? I don't know little things like that. I'll have the palace chef make you another soup."
"No need your majesty, I have asked Feng Ying to make a decoction of red ginger and some herbs."
"Well if so. You should tell me about anything you can't eat. So that I understand and tell the chef not to make the food."
"Okay, your honor."
This was the first day that Lin Yao stayed inside the palace, he saw so many servants walking around to do their work.
"Feng Ying, the garden inside the prince Rong's palace is huge and beautiful." Said Lin Yao as they were in the palace garden.
"Yes, your honor. The flowers that are in the garden are also very many and varied."
"Yes, I'm worried that if we go home and leave this palace, will noble prince Rong be bored in a pavilion that is even smaller than the area of this garden?"
"Your highness, your highness Prince Rong has chosen and married you. He has also promised you and your mistress that he will follow wherever his majesty lives."
"That's right, it's just that the people out there would definitely think if I was a woman who didn't think of noble feelings, she said, moreover, the prime minister must have wanted his majesty to have two or three concubines."
Feng Ying was speechless, she perfectly understood if the royal members would definitely have some concubines inside their palace.
Lin Yao looked straight at the flowers that were in the garden.
"Can I stand with your concubines later, Your Majesty? And do I also have to compete with them in getting your attention and kindness?"
The current Prince Rong was probably so interested and liked Lin Yao so much that he got married and did not want to part from Lin Yao. But that did not guarantee, whether he would be able to remain only with Lin Yao, or would have some concubines like the prime ministers wanted.
"Feng Ying, we go back inside the room." Said Lin Yao.
"Okay, your honor."
Lin Yao and Feng Ying walked back into the room, as they were there just to relieve the boredom.
While from behind the rocks not far from where Lin Yao and Feng Ying were, Xiao Bo hid and listened to what they were talking about.
"It turns out that the noble empress thought so many things about the noble prince Rong. I must immediately inform your majesty of this matter." Xiao Bo said.
Xiao Bo walked away from behind the rocks to the reading room where Prince Rong was.
"So my empress thought about it?" Prince Rong said after Xiao Bo told him about what Lin Yao had said.
"Yes your honor."
"All right, I get it. You can come back."
"Okay, your honor."
After Xiao Bo left, prince Rong stood up and walked towards the window of his reading room.
"We just got married, but you've been thinking about things I might never have thought of." Prince Rong.
Married to a prince would be a very extraordinary thing, but in the palace there must always be competition between concubines to get the love and attention of their husbands.
But for Prince Rong who had been on the front lines every time there was a war, and had never had a woman to allow his gaze. It was certainly not easy to create a harem palace like Lin Yao had thought of inside the palace.
"It seems that I have to tell the father of the emperor, to announce that I will stay outside the palace and will not have a single concubine to the prime ministers. After all, I'm not a crown prince." Prince Rong said again.
As a man who has married his woman, and reassures her seriously. Of course he would not take actions that would make his wife feel hurt.
