In the next few days, Yun Yichen saw Xiao Yao busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel outside, and then he returned home and went into the prepared new courtyard and began to decorate their new wedding house according to Xiao Yao's preferences.
The things I brought back from the villa are good, but they are too old and not suitable for the new house. The things in the palace are too boring and will definitely not suit the little girl's taste. Besides, these things are my own and will not run away. I will use them sooner or later. Why rush?
Now it's time to settle accounts with certain people and collect interest.
The Emperor still didn't know he was being targeted. He'd been wondering why there hadn't been any movement from Prince Jing's Mansion these past few days. It shouldn't be that way! Given his nephew's temper, he'd definitely come to the palace to demand an explanation if things didn't go his way. Suffering in silence wasn't his style. Could it be that he'd already accepted those two people? Just say it yourself. The Yun family owns the vast empire of Tianyu, so why would they only guard one woman their entire lives?
"Your Majesty, Prince Yun is here." Chen He glanced at the emperor secretly. You've been talking about him, so he must have come to visit!
"Look at his expression. Is he angry, happy, or depressed?" The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and leaned over to ask the eunuch who was delivering the message.
The eunuch thought for a long time and finally shook his head. The prince had a cold face all day long, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.
"What expression does the Emperor want me to have?" Yun Yichen was indeed the son of King Jing. After coming in and paying his respects, he found a seat and sat down. Chen He tactfully poured Yun Yichen a cup of tea.
As soon as I heard Yun Yichen's words, I knew that he was up to no good. Come to think of it, the fact that this guy could fall for the most beautiful woman in Kyoto proved that he had very discerning tastes. How could a mediocre woman be in his eyes?
It must be that the person chosen by the Queen was not to his liking. Next time, find a younger concubine to do this, or let him choose himself. In such a huge palace, he can always find a few people who satisfy him.
"Don't be afraid, your nephew is here to thank you."
The emperor raised his eyebrows. From the tone of his voice, it didn't sound like he was here to thank him, but rather like he was here to cause trouble.
"Nephew, I am very grateful for your concern, uncle. Since you are willing to give me this person, you will definitely not be stingy in giving me other things."
"for example……"
"For example, my nephew is getting married in a few months, and his new house isn't decorated yet. It would be a waste to keep the things in your warehouse. Why don't you give some to him?"
He had just collected so many treasures from his own villa, and today they came to ask for them again. The emperor lowered his head and looked around for something suitable to throw away.
Chen He looked at the emperor with an expression that said "I knew this would be the result". Why did you pick on this young master when you could have provoked anyone else? He is much more difficult to deal with than the other princes.
"Hasn't what you've taken from me been enough? No more!"
"Is it really gone?"
"Yeah! That's all."
"My nephew has found twenty beautiful and talented women in the streets. I will have them brought to the palace and placed in this back hall to entertain you every day. These women are proficient in singing and dancing."
The emperor never expected that his nephew would come up with such an idea, to get a group of women to play music and sing every day in his office. Does he want the censor to report him?
"I already have enough concubines in my harem, you can take these people back with you!"
"They're already here, and I can't take them back. I promised the Xiao family that I would never take a concubine. I can't go back on my word!"
He absolutely could not accept these people. The emperor wanted to send Yun Yichen away but did not want to pay any price, so the two of them were in a silent stalemate.
"I'll let Chen He take you to the storeroom later, but don't go too far. You are not allowed to touch my treasures." The emperor compromised reluctantly. He was really afraid that this kid would bring more than 20 women to the imperial study.
"My nephew will come to your storehouse later. I still have to send twenty beauties to the Mu family. I'll take my leave now."
He was repeating the same act again. The emperor didn't understand Yun Yichen's intention and looked at him in confusion, waiting for a reasonable explanation.
"Aunt is always thinking about her nephew, so I have to return the favor. Since I've given it to you, it would be unreasonable not to give it to Duke Mu's Mansion."
This is clearly revenge! Not only did he extort a large sum of money from him, but he also wanted to bring the matter to the Mu family? The emperor believed that his nephew could do what he said. Even if the Duke Mu's mansion was not in chaos, it would be in chaos.
Can he go over and make trouble? Of course not.
"What else do you want?"
"Of course I want to thank the Imperial Aunt! How about I go to the harem to visit my aunt first, and then go to the Mu family?"
The emperor was so angry at his nephew that he sat there gasping for breath. Xiaojiu was right, this kid was too bad, it would be better to avoid provoking him in the future.
"What do you want!" the emperor asked through gritted teeth.
"You have all the wealth in the world, and my nephew only wants the most insignificant part of it."
Humph! Who would believe that? The emperor was too lazy to respond to his nephew's words, so he just let him talk on his own.
"Just give the villa that my father-in-law supervised to be built to my nephew. That's not too much to ask, is it?
The emperor was stunned for a moment, feeling even more frustrated. He had originally planned to gift Yun Yichen some manors and houses when he got married, but the ones he had chosen were completely different from the ones he had specifically requested. Not only did he like that manor, but he also liked it, okay?
"Change the conditions."
"Then I'd better go to my uncle's storehouse and pick something out! I don't need anything else, just that piece of bloodstone and those two three-foot-tall red corals..."
"Stop, I'll give you the Royal Villa." If he continued talking, his treasure would be in danger. It would be better to agree to him and send him away!
Yun Yichen stood up, showing his four snow-white teeth, and said, "Then I will not disturb my uncle the emperor from reading the memorials. I will take my leave now.
As he reached the door of the imperial study, he seemed to suddenly remember something. He paused, turned back, and said solemnly, "Don't forget to register the villa in my junior sister's name. The gift for my niece's wife will definitely be repaired by my uncle, and even a pair of chopsticks will be there, right? Your nephew would like to thank my uncle on behalf of your niece's wife."
This time Yun Yichen really left. The emperor turned around and said to Chen He weakly, "If I meddle in this kid's affairs again in the future, don't forget to remind me."
I really can't meddle in other people's business anymore. I just gave him two women, but not only did I lose a villa, I also had to repaint it. Not to mention that this guy is still thinking about the treasures in his warehouse. It makes me sad just thinking about it!
"Your Majesty, Prince Jing has a letter to present to you." A eunuch walked into the imperial study holding a letter in both hands.
The emperor hesitated, fearing Yun Yichen would make another excessive request. He finally mustered up the courage to open the letter, and after reading it, he jokingly cursed, "You little bastard."
When Yun Yichen's men were searching for Luo Yan's men, they accidentally discovered a hidden arsenal in the suburbs of Beijing, where there were a large number of finished weapons and ores. He also followed the clues and found the mastermind behind the scenes, a foreign king.
The letter contained evidence, a list of relevant personnel, and proof of the Han family's sponsorship of a large amount of silver and money.
I didn't expect the Han family would still not give up. Since they have so much money and have no place to spend it, I might as well help them.
Chen He also admired Yun Yichen from the bottom of his heart. He could make the emperor so angry that his face changed, but nothing happened. In Tianyu, only King Jing and his son had such ability.
Yun Yichen returned to Prince Jing's Mansion and continued to supervise the construction of his new house. He had been living and eating here these days. He ignored Xiao Anzi when he came, and he basically never set foot in Jinhuayuan unless someone was sent to look for him.
Yin Qianhua couldn't get her son's forgiveness, so she took her anger out on her husband. King Jing had already slept in the side room for seven or eight days, and he now deeply understood what it felt like to be ignored.
At dinner that night, Prince Jing sent someone to look for Yun Yichen. Seeing his son walk in coldly, Prince Jing really wanted to ask him, "The emperor is about to cry because of your blackmail, what else are you not satisfied with?"
Except for Yin Qianhua and her daughter occasionally saying a few words, the dinner table was always very quiet. King Jing really didn't like this atmosphere. Although his son didn't like to talk before, at least his face was not so dark. His expression really affected his appetite!
"What are you still not satisfied with? The one who suffered the most losses was your uncle, the emperor. If your father had stopped those two women from entering the house, would you have received so much compensation?" She got the advantage but turned a cold face to her parents. She took all the good things.
Yin Qianhua didn't know what the father and son meant, and was worried that they would quarrel, so she put down her chopsticks and looked at the two men closest to her worriedly.
It had been several days, and his wife had finally looked him in the eye. It hadn't been easy! King Jing, his mood instantly improved, decided not to argue with his son. He decided to let everyone put aside their differences tonight and have some fun together.
"Your Uncle Lin is already on his way to Kyoto. He will be here in three or four days." King Jing saw his son's expression change from indifference to a smile and finally to ecstasy as he spoke.
Yun Yichen was not the only one who was happy to hear the news. Yin Qianhua and Yun Ruonan also had beaming faces. This was really good and exciting news.
Now you are in the mood to eat!
"I need to go to the Xiao family." Yun Yichen pushed his chair aside, stood up, and walked out. With this good news, he wouldn't feel hungry even if he didn't eat for three days. He also felt sorry for the old man and Xiao Jingkang. They were both elderly people, living a life that felt like a year. With this good news, they could sleep well tonight.
"I asked the sewing room to make two new sets of clothes for Ping'an. You can take them to him." Yin Qianhua also remembered that she had found two pieces of light and breathable plain brocade a few days ago and asked someone to make a close-fitting inner garment for Xiao Yao. It was just right for her son to take them to him.
"Mother, I will go with you." Yun Ruonan threw away her chopsticks and went after Yin Qianhua.
Watching the mother and her two children walk away together, King Jing felt like he had shot himself in the foot. He had thought someone would celebrate with him when he got good news! Alas! His treatment had already become like this before his daughter-in-law even entered the family. His status would probably decline even more after she did.
It's not a fear, but a certainty. Through what happened just now, King Jing has foreseen the inevitable result.
