Princess Ning glanced over the flock of beauties sitting around. These were all titled concubines of the Prince Ning Mansion. Today, each of them was dressed to the nines, their eyes practically glued to Rong Ruiyuan.
"Today is a joyous day," Princess Ning said, raising her cup. She stood up and bowed toward Rong Ruiyuan. "Congratulations, Prince!"
Following her lead, the women congratulated Rong Ruiyuan in unison.
Rong Ruiyuan's expression remained placid. He had gone to great lengths to bring these women into the mansion, and they brought with them a myriad of complex connections. No matter how much he disliked it, he forced a smile at this moment. "Thank you, everyone. From now on, we share in both glory and disgrace. I hope you all perform your duties well in the inner quarters and do not cause me any trouble outside."
