Chapter 72 Imperial Concubine

"So this time we should live in the place arranged by the master or in the manor." Liu'er said.

"Let's live with my father first. After Manager He arranges the master's affairs, we can move into the manor." Given the current status of the Xia family, no one would force their way in.

She is not afraid even if someone forces their way in, but don't underestimate the Xia family's martial arts.

After three months of travel, Xia Yutong and his group finally arrived at the imperial city.

When Xia Yutong arrived at the courtyard arranged by Xia's father, she liked it very much.

I guess it was Xia's father who bought it for her in the imperial city in the past few years.

Every blade of grass and every tree was arranged according to her preferences.

"The master is so kind to the young lady." Liu'er sighed as she entered the yard.

"That's right, he is my father. If he doesn't treat me well, who else can he treat well?" So arrogant.

"Okay, go and make the arrangements, and then take a good rest." I was so exhausted from the long journey.

There were already servants in the house, but they were few in number.

They were all very happy to see their master coming.

They are all members of the Xia family, and especially after knowing that the eldest lady has arrived, they have become popular.

Some familiar brothers want to switch positions with them.

But are they stupid?

Of course not.

There are many benefits to following the eldest lady.

After resting at home for two days, Xia Yutong asked Manager He to find a store.

I originally wanted to find Wen Li, but I guess he didn’t have time.

Chao Shang is also very nervous now, so she won't cause him any trouble.

Manager He is a capable man. In less than three days, he found a store that was very suitable for Xia Yutong.

It is much better than the one in South City, but of course, the price is also shockingly expensive.

It cost tens of thousands of taels.

I don’t know if Manager He was lucky, but he found this shop which happened to be a courtyard house facing the street, which is better than having it upstairs or downstairs.

It was previously used as a restaurant by the previous owner. Now it would be easy to transform it into Yuyan with just a few modifications.

Manager He is quite capable, so Xia Yutong handed the task over to him after taking a look.

Manager He did not bother to be polite with his young lady and took over the important task directly.

Xia Yutong used her free time to inquire about the news of the imperial city.

Wherever there is fun, wherever there is delicious food, she is having a lot of fun.

Wen Li in the palace hadn't received any letter for several months and was very anxious.

Thinking that I had said something out of turn again, I didn't know if she would be angry. If she was angry, I thought that's why I didn't reply to her letter.

The freshmen and sophomores who had been serving him noticed their master's impatience.

I don’t know how to comfort him, so I can only go along with him in everything, otherwise I will be the one who suffers.

It wasn't just Wen Li who was restless, but also his restless second brother.

The Imperial Noble Consort lived in the North Palace, the largest palace in the harem.

It is many times larger than the one where the previous queen lived.

"Mother, how long do we have to wait?" It has been three years, and he has endured for another three years. Now, every time he sees Ouyang Li wandering in front of him, he wants to kill someone.

The Imperial Noble Consort was born into the Yuwen family. She entered the palace at the age of fifteen and became pregnant at the age of twenty.

She is now thirty-eight years old and her appearance is still pretty good.

But you can tell from his face that he is not someone who is easy to get along with.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" The imperial concubine put down the teacup in her hand heavily. "I have tolerated him for more than 20 years. I am not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry?" If the old man had not written a will long ago, she would have taken action long ago.

Humph, if she is unwilling to hand over the advice to her son until her death, then no one else can get the Great Yan Dynasty.

There were many things that the Imperial Concubine did not tell her son, but as she saw that he looked more and more like that man's son, she became more patient.

"Well, since he has been staying in the Imperial City, we have nothing to worry about. If you have this intention, you might as well try to please your father."

Humph, her son is also his son, why treat him like this.

"Mother." What Ouyang Chen feared most was his father. From childhood to adulthood, he had never given him a good face, not even a sincere smile.

When he was a child, he once saw his father smile at Ouyang Li, and he will remember it for the rest of his life.

This is also the reason why he hates Ouyang Li so much.

Among the princes, it is either he or I who will die.

"The emperor doesn't like me. No matter what I do, he won't like me." When Ouyang Chen said this, he felt very aggrieved.

After all, I was raised under the protection of adults.

"Then go and fight for it yourself. What you win back will be yours forever."

After the mother and son talked for a while, Ouyang Chen left Beigong.

Looking towards the East Palace, his eyes were filled with hatred. If it turned into substance, I'm afraid the people in the East Palace would have died long ago.

That’s right, the current emperor was so cruel that he moved Ouyang Li, who had not yet been named the crown prince, to live in different places.

This will only bring him hatred.

Ouyang Li was able to survive thanks to Uncle Feng and others.

After the second prince left, the imperial concubine sighed, "When will Chen'er grow up?" She wanted to hand over Dayan to him, but could her Chen'er be capable of doing it?

The Great Yan Dynasty had five major families to check and balance the power, one of which was the Ouyang family. Now that the Ouyang family was the royal family, they would definitely stand on the side of the royal family.

But the other companies are different. They have been looking for opportunities to move up for many years.

Unfortunately, the ancestors of the Ouyang family were too capable and had controlled the entire court for hundreds of years. Now, the descendants of the Ouyang family have finally become useless. Aren’t the Li family, Wei family, Zhang family, etc. all eyeing them covetously?

Even her family coveted the throne.

Fortunately, I gave birth to a son, otherwise...

I'm afraid it wasn't just Empress Yuan who died that year.

"He has to walk his own path in the future, and I can't support him all his life." She has seen how dark the outside world is since she was a child.

Even though there aren't many people in the harem, there are still many dangers.

Although the Emperor of Yan appears to be an honest man, he is actually very vicious in his heart.

Otherwise, why didn't he save Empress Yuan and the weak and helpless eldest prince?

It’s all because of the throne. He can’t bear to give up the chair under his butt.

All the people who could serve her personally in the Bei Palace were her personal servants. After hearing her master's words, an aunt who served her personally came forward.

"Your Majesty, why are you so anxious? The Second Prince is still young. He will be sensible after the wedding. There will be no time left then."

"That's what you say, but do you think the emperor will find a good wife for him?" She said last time that she wanted to give her niece to Chen'er as his wife. She would remember the look in the emperor's eyes for the rest of her life.

"What's the difficulty? As long as the Second Prince likes her, the matter will be settled. In addition, considering the status of the uncle, His Majesty the Emperor can still make the young lady a concubine, right?" She knew what the Empress was thinking.

In fact, she didn't think much of the Empress's family. That family was full of vampires, and none of them were useful when it came to real work.

It would be better to find a few people in the court who are popular with the emperor to marry into. This might help the second prince.

Unfortunately, she couldn't say these words.
