If the Prince truly favored a maid, he would, given his character, bestow a title, raising her to the status of a concubine.
Mrs. Zhao did not wish, because of her own involvement, to add another concubine to the Prince's harem and cause trouble for Princess Nanzhang.
After several tense days with no news, Mrs. Zhao finally felt at ease.
But just as Mrs. Zhao found peace of mind, another event occurred, causing her to be anxious again.
When the Prince returned from court, he passed by a zither shop and heard the sound of music flowing out.
He recalled Lady Chi's zither music.
Mistakenly thinking Lady Chi was his beloved, and he hadn't been slapped by Princess Nanzhang yet, the Prince always remembered that.
Although Lady Chi was his concubine, he felt no guilt, but the sight of Lady Chi's wounds was vivid.
The Prince felt moved, thinking that the quality of the zither Lady Chi played was ordinary, so he dismounted and entered the shop to choose an ancient zither.
