"Really?" When Zhu heard this, she couldn't believe it as her son and daughter would be able to live in the capital in the future.
"Oh, madam, it's absolutely true! The eunuch who announced the decree is still resting in the government office!
In three days, our whole family will go to the capital together!"
Zhu was overjoyed, "Doesn't that mean Yan'er can find a family in the capital in the future?
Yunqi can also study in the capital!"
Then their family has finally made it!
"Of course. With Yi'er in the palace, our family's good days are still to come! This daughter has not been raised in vain!"
Zhu was making her own calculations in her mind. She knew exactly what kind of life Ping and her daughter had lived in the mansion before.
I'm afraid she is not lucky enough to enjoy this good life?
Judging from the master's current attitude towards Concubine Ping, it is very likely that Concubine Ping will be promoted to a concubine in the future. Fortunately, she had drugged Concubine Ping a long time ago, and the master's eldest son was born from her belly.
Zhu thought a lot and felt that no matter how you looked at it, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. She forced a smile.
"Master, get someone to clean up right away. Yunqi has been out for the past few days. I'll send someone to call him back."
What is Chen Yunqi doing?
He was at a loss amid the flattery of his friends, all of whom knew that his family was going to the capital, and they all tried to show their friendship to him.
In the eyes of everyone, it was only a matter of time before the Chen family became successful.
Chen Yunqi spent the whole day wandering around red-light districts, intoxicated by beautiful women, until he was found by his own servants and dragged home.
Zhu was quite helpless about this son. She only had this one son, but he was a troublesome one. He had never caused any big trouble, but he had never done anything important either.
"Yunqi, go back and pack your things quickly. We're going to the capital tomorrow, and our family will live in the capital from now on.
You can also enter a good academy, become an official in the future, and marry a daughter of an official family, then mother will be relieved."
Chen Yunqi was still drunk, unable to stand steadily, and his words were slurred. "Mom, if I had known earlier, I would have sent my sister to the palace. Now all the glory and wealth would be enjoyed by my sister!"
"We both have the surname Chen. How can my younger sister not compare to my younger sister? In terms of looks and temperament?"
He muttered, but Zhu listened to him. If it was Yan'er who gave birth to the eldest prince, she would definitely make plans for her family.
They both have the surname Chen, and Yan'er is younger, so there's no reason why she can't give birth to a son.
Besides, the position of Queen is vacant, so if she gives birth to a few more sons, she might become the Queen! Then she would be the Queen's mother!
A few days later, the Chen family arrived at the feet of the emperor.
Because they were Concubine Yi's family members, the eunuch first took them to the rewarded house.
"Sir Chen, this house is located on Zhuque Street, a prime location. The neighbors are all the residences of officials appointed by the imperial court. You will take up your post tomorrow."
The capital city was prosperous and its wealth was dazzling. Along the way, the four of them kept lifting the curtains to look around, and were all seen by the eunuchs.
Once you become rich, you don't care about your appearance.
Such a family, even if they are rich, cannot stay for a few years.
"Mom, Dad, is this where we're going to live? It's so beautiful!"
Chen Miaoyan walked into the house and saw that it was several times bigger than his hometown! The yard, the house, everything was beautiful!
"Okay, let's go in and clean up first!"
This time, they brought along the servants with indentures from their hometown, fearing that it would be too expensive to buy people in the capital.
Aunt Ping's carriage fell behind, with Aqiao and Mai'er following her side.
Looking at the prosperity of the capital, Aunt Ping looked around in confusion, not knowing which direction her daughter was.
In Acacia Palace, Chen Miaoyi clearly saw the reactions of the Chen family through the system.
Aunt Ping was like a wooden frame with silk and satin forced upon it; her rough hands could not conceal the kind of life she had led.
After making progress on the main quest, it's time to complete the side quests.
The Chen family can be considered as a new rich in the capital, and there is a high possibility that they will become extremely rich. There are many people watching them everywhere, and many people have been sent to approach their family.
The Chen family mother and daughter received a flood of invitations to banquets, like snowflakes.
Chen Yunqi soon made a lot of bad friends.
"Mom! Please make me some new clothes. Look at what the young ladies out there are wearing. These are the ones I brought back from my hometown!"
Chen Miaoyan attended several flower-viewing banquets, and after being bullied several times by the rich ladies from Beijing, she began to lose her temper with her family.
"We have a lot of expenses at home! Wasn't this dress just made this year? Why do you need new ones?"
"These are all old-fashioned products. I want them made in Beijing!"
Chen Miaoyan kept chattering and soon Zhu was annoyed.
"Tomorrow we will go to the palace. Your concubine sister asked us to go. When she gives us some silk and satin, mother will make it for you."
Enter the palace?
She has never entered the palace in her life!
She had only heard of the vermilion walls and bright yellow tiles in storybooks.
Even if she disliked her concubine sister before, she was full of anticipation this time to see what life in the palace was like.
Zhu was not happy because she had to bring Concubine Ping with her into the palace.
On the second day, Chen Miaoyi dressed up again and again, looking forward to meeting some noble person in the palace, and then falling in love with him at first sight and marrying him!
Young girls are always in love.
The spirit of forcing oneself was frightened away the moment one stepped into the palace gate.
The carriage could only go to the palace gate. After being checked, Zhu, Chen Miaoyan, and Aunt Ping had to get off the carriage and walk to Xiangsi Palace.
Aunt Ping was in a daze. Was she going to see her daughter? Did her daughter live in a place like this?
When I looked up, I could only see the palace walls, not even the distant mountains.
Chen Miaoyan's eyes were shining as he looked around. He saw the teams of palace servants and the royal guards holding weapons. Oh my God, how great it would be if he could live in here!
The nanny who led the way felt contempt in her heart several times, thinking that they were really worldly-wise.
"This is the Acacia Palace. Remember to greet Concubine Yi when you see her later."
The nanny brought the people in. The Acacia Palace was very large, with pavilions, towers, side halls, etc. It looked even bigger than the Chen Mansion.
Chen Miaoyan was shocked again. Since she came to the capital, she was always shocked again and again. Her sister-in-law lived in such a big place alone?
Isn’t it enough to live in a house? This is like living in a house!
The real shock is yet to come.
"Your Majesty, Madam Chen and Miss Chen are here." The nanny said outside.
"Bring it in."
Chen Miaoyi sat upright in a red silk gown with peony patterns, looking extremely luxurious and imposing.
Chen Miaoyan was stunned. Was this beautiful woman who made her jealous the Chen Miaoyi in the mansion who was beaten and scolded by her and worked as her maid?
She sat there without saying a word, with stern palace maids standing on both sides. Is this the empress in the palace?
"Hurry up and salute." Seeing that several people were stunned, the nanny hurriedly urged.
