The next afternoon, Shen Wei was practicing calligraphy in her room when Cai Ping brought news that Zhao Yang Princess had arrived at the Prince of Yan's residence and was being personally received by the Princess of Yan. At that moment, Zhao Yang was in the Kunyu Courtyard of the Princess of Yan.
Although Shen Wei was favored, she was still a lowly concubine with no children or backing. Zhao Yang Princess, on the other hand, was a royal daughter of the imperial family, and Shen Wei didn't even have the right to greet her at the door.
"Master, Zhao Yang Princess is clearly here to visit you. Why is she staying so long in the Princess of Yan's courtyard?" Cai Ping was a bit puzzled.
Shen Wei continued practicing her calligraphy calmly, the ink leaving neat rows of strokes on the rice paper.
"Zhao Yang Princess knows her place," Shen Wei explained. "If she were to bypass the Princess of Yan and come directly to visit me, it would be seen as a slight to the Princess."
