Not long after the Fourth Prince and Qin Qianqian got married, the Emperor proposed to go on a trip and let the Crown Prince govern the country.
At the same time, he also issued an order to dismiss the concubines in the harem who had no children, allowing them to leave the palace and marry freely in the future.
This move went smoothly. The ministers all knew the prince's abilities and had no objections to it.
In fact, they all knew that even if they had objections, the emperor might not listen to them.
After so many years of fighting wits and courage, they have never defeated the emperor.
As for the issue of dismissing concubines, they had nothing to say. The concubines in the harem were useless, so just dismiss them.
Seeing that the ministers had no objection, the emperor felt much better. After the court session, he ordered people to start packing up and went to Concubine Xian's bedroom.
Empress Xian was teaching Yu Yiluo how to write. When she saw the emperor come in, she quickly put down her pen and stepped forward to pay her respects.
The emperor motioned her to stand up, walked forward to look at the words on the rice paper, and then looked at Yu Yiluo with a smile.
"Luo'er, Daddy is going out to travel. Do you want to go with him?"
Yu Yiluo shook her head without hesitation.
"Why?"
The emperor sat down on the chair and asked, "Don't you like leaving the palace?"
"I need to practice calligraphy and learn mechanical engineering. There are so many things to learn and I don't have time."
[Actually, there's nothing much to see outside. It'll be more fun to play with the little ones after my brothers have kids.]
emperor:"……"
"Okay," the emperor looked at Concubine Xian, "Would you like to accompany me, my beloved concubine?"
Concubine Xian chuckled and poured the emperor a cup of tea. "If your Majesty is worried that the journey will be too boring, you can bring Eunuch Cao with you to relieve your boredom."
【Hahaha, Daddy was rejected.】
[Mother and Aunt Shufei are waiting for you to leave the palace so they can play mahjong. How could they possibly leave with you?]
[Besides, my little cutie is still in the palace. How could my mother possibly go with you?]
When Empress Xian heard Yu Yiluo's thoughts, she subconsciously glanced at the Emperor. The Emperor just lowered his eyes and drank tea, and his expression could not be seen.
After a moment he put down the tea and looked at Concubine Xian.
"I invited you along just to have a chat. Since you, my beloved concubine, want to take care of Luo'er, let's leave it at that."
He invited Concubine Xian not because he had other thoughts about her, but because among Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu and Concubine De, he talked to Concubine Xian the most.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."
The emperor didn't stay long and pinched Yu Yiluo's little face.
"Study hard, and I will inspect your learning achievements when I return."
…
Yu Yiluo originally thought that the emperor's decree to dismiss concubines without children would cause a commotion.
But this time she was wrong.
Perhaps these concubines who had never been favored felt that staying would be useless except for wasting time, and after weighing the pros and cons, they knew that leaving the palace was safer.
The emperor's heart is not in the harem, no matter how persistent they are, the final result will be a pile of bones.
Rather than dying in the palace, it is better to leave the palace and find new fate.
Anyway, the emperor has issued an edict that they are free to marry from now on, so even if they find new partners, others will not dare to talk about it.
After Concubine Rou packed up her things, she brought her bag to Concubine Xian's bedroom.
Shufei and Defei arrived before her. When they saw her come in, they stood up and pulled her over to sit down.
"My two sisters, I won't sit down."
With a genuine smile on her face, Concubine Rou said softly, "I came here to say goodbye to my sisters. I've been so grateful for your care during my time in the palace. Thank you so much."
She bowed and made a graceful reverence.
"Stop these empty formalities."
Concubine Rou stood up, took the bundle from the maid, opened it, took out a box and walked in front of Yu Yiluo.
"This is for the little princess. I may not be able to give her gifts on her birthdays in the future, so consider this as an early gift for this year."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Yu Yiluo took the things from her hand and said sincerely, "Take care, auntie."
"You guys take care of yourselves too, I'm leaving."
Concubine Rou walked out of the palace, looked back at the towering palace walls, and got on the carriage with a relaxed smile on her face.
…
The Sixth Princess discovered that she rarely saw the man in red recently.
He is clearly her personal bodyguard, but he is nowhere to be seen all day long.
Seeing the Sixth Princess looking depressed, the maid whispered, "Princess, why don't you go out for a walk instead of staying at home?"
The Sixth Princess shook her head, "Where's the red dress?"
"I don't know either," the maid said, covering her mouth with her hands and laughing. "Princess, you wanted to pack up the young man in red and send him back to the emperor. Why are you paying so much attention to him recently?"
"Well, you're actually teasing me."
The Sixth Princess put on a fierce look and glanced at the maid.
The maid knew she wasn't really angry with her, so she thought for a moment and said, "But the young master in red has been acting a little strange lately. He often goes to bed very late and is always out of the house."
"Do you often stay up late?"
The Sixth Princess frowned, "How did you know?"
"I woke up very late last time and saw that the light in his room was still on and he seemed to be talking."
"Talk? Who are you talking to so late at night?"
Could it be that he brought a woman to her house for a tryst?
I chose to do it late at night because I was worried that she would find out.
Thinking of this, and considering what the maid said about him often leaving the house, the Sixth Princess became furious.
His hands gripped the edge of the table next to him.
While he was talking sweet words to her, he was secretly meeting with other women and making a fool of her.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?"
The maid saw that the Sixth Princess looked very unhappy and asked softly.
"It's okay. I'll go and see what's going on tonight."
She wanted to see what kind of girl could make him so impatient that he would risk being discovered by her and bring her to his house for a secret rendezvous.
At this moment, a voice sounded at the door.
"Young Master in Red."
The red-clothed man strode in, "Your Highness greets the Princess."
The Sixth Princess looked at him sideways, "Where have you been?"
"I went out to meet some friends."
"Yeah?"
Hongyi noticed the difference in the Sixth Princess and began to reflect on herself.
He hasn't gotten into any trouble recently, right? Why does the princess look unhappy?
"Replying to Princess, yes."
The Sixth Princess took Hong Yi's distraction as a sign of guilt, and felt even more unhappy.
But he said, "Okay, you can go down."
She couldn't alert the enemy, so she had to wait until she caught him tonight and then teach this scumbag a lesson.
"yes."
The woman in red retreated, and the Sixth Princess instructed her maid.
"Go and invite Sister Xue and the others over."
She is feeling depressed now and needs to find someone to vent her unhappiness.
Soon, the maid invited Mu Xue, Qin Qianqian and others over.
Seeing the Sixth Princess's behavior, several people were filled with doubts.
"What are you doing?"
Yu Yiluo, who came with Mu Xue, blinked.
[Sixth Princess called everyone here, is she trying to say that she and Hongyi are together? ]
The Sixth Princess waved her hand to let everyone leave. After they sat down, she angrily said, "That scumbag in red is making me so angry."
"Isn't that your guard? How did he become a scumbag? Did he betray you?"
