Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 223: The Division of Changning Marquis's Mansion

Qiyun Hall.

It was the first time that the young Prince Fu blushed in front of these people. How could his adopted sister tell him the truth? Although he also thought that he was handsome, he would feel embarrassed when she said it.

The prince was tempted. His lifelong hobby was to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. Most importantly, his master said he was super rich, and he knew that only with money could he buy delicious food.

The prince jumped reluctantly from Huang Ye's arms to the arms of little Prince Fu. Forget it, as long as the master is happy.

The little prince held the prince and excitedly stroked his feathers: "From now on, you will follow me, your brother. If anyone dares to bully you, I will help you kill him."

The Emperor: Being the brother of an eagle, I don't know why he is so happy. He becomes unhappy when he thinks of the words Huang Ye used to praise him just now. Could it be that he doesn't look as good as his troublesome cousin? And yet he doesn't even know how to praise him? The Emperor is unhappy.

Huang Ye, who was blamed by the emperor, was cooking in the small kitchen of Qiyun Palace. She re-fried the vegetarian dishes brought from the imperial kitchen and put them in bowls, and asked Hongdou to serve them again.

The emperor picked up a piece of vegetable with chopsticks and put it into his mouth: "Hmm... this is the taste, delicious."

The little Prince Fu, who was communicating with the prince, curled his lips contemptuously and said, "Uncle Royal, you have never eaten the food cooked by my sister. This is considered delicious. Let me tell you..." He suddenly stopped talking. The three men put down their chopsticks and looked at him eagerly. How many delicious things did this kid eat without them knowing?

"Well... I also occasionally... occasionally went to my brother Huang's house a few times..." Little Prince Fu said embarrassedly: "I'm afraid you will laugh at me, just for a bite of food..."

Huang Ye, who had just finished cooking and walked in, felt embarrassed. She wanted to leave now, but she didn’t know if it was possible.

"Come in." The emperor held his anger. They didn't do anything to her, so why did she look like she wanted to escape? "It's none of your business. Sit down and eat." He said to Huang Ye in a gentle voice, and said to himself in his heart that he must not be too serious, otherwise Huang Ye would want to run away again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Seeing that the emperor looked fine, Huang Ye sat down with peace of mind and continued to eat. It must be said that the imperial kitchen was quite good and the dishes tasted very good. However, without spiciness, it always felt like something was missing.

"A big thing happened in the capital, you don't know about it yet, right?" The little Prince Fu knew how to liven up the atmosphere, and he said it mysteriously.

The emperor knocked on his head with the chopsticks in his hand: "If you want to say it, just say it. Who are you trying to keep in suspense by talking so mysteriously?"

Little Prince Fu touched his head and shouted, "Uncle, you hit me on the head with all the oil on the chopsticks. Are you angry because my sister said I'm pretty and you deliberately ruined my image..."

"Okay, tell me what's the matter?" The emperor interrupted his show. He couldn't stand hearing the word "sister" the most. It made him feel upset.

"That's right." Prince Fu immediately forgot about his uncle hitting him on the head with chopsticks. "That Xu Rou is Concubine Xu. Didn't she enter the palace? Do you know what she did before she entered the palace?"

Seeing that he was keeping him in suspense, the retired emperor picked up his chopsticks again. The young Prince Fu saw that something was not going well and immediately said, "Before entering the palace, Concubine Xu went to her sister-in-law to ask for money. She refused to leave unless she gave it to her. She managed to take five hundred taels of silver." The young Prince Fu stretched out his hand and slapped her.

"Her sister-in-law is from a merchant family. She doesn't care about the reputation of the mansion. As soon as she left the mansion, the news spread inside the mansion."

"You know what Concubine Xu is thinking. She says she is the queen in the palace, and before she leaves, she insists that everyone in the Earl's Mansion come and kowtow to her. Not even her parents are spared, not to mention the Earl's Prince and his wife." Little Prince Fu shook his head. Only a fool like the Queen Mother would treat such a fool as a treasure.

"What about the old uncle and his wife?" Huang Ye was also curious. Was Xu Rou so arrogant before she even entered the palace? You know, although she was the empress when she entered the palace, when she left, her family members had to kneel down symbolically. They all stood up in a hurry. They really couldn't let their elders kneel down to them.

"She wanted them to come out and kneel, but the old uncle and his wife claimed to be sick and couldn't come out, so she had no choice. She also sent someone to call back the eldest daughter who had married out, and wanted her to come back and kneel down with her. The eldest daughter married the emperor's teacher, Prime Minister Lin." The young Prince Fu clicked his tongue twice.

"This completely annoyed the old uncle. After Concubine Xu left, he proposed to divide the family. The second house naturally disagreed, but the old uncle was determined and the first house also strongly agreed."

"Did the lady of the lord make a fuss?" The retired emperor knew how partial the lady of the lord was to the second wife.

"This time, the lady really didn't make a fuss." Little Prince Fu picked up a piece of vegetable with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. After saying so much, it was already past mealtime and he was hungry.

"I don't know if the lady had given up on Concubine Xu and acquiesced to the old uncle's proposal to divide the family. The old uncle might have had this idea long ago and cut the Gordian knot and divided the family. The second house was separated out on the same day and moved into a five-courtyard house prepared for them in advance." said the little Prince Fu.

"How can the second branch be willing to accept this?" Huang Ye was very curious. If the second branch was a reasonable person, Xu Rou would not have been spoiled by them like that.

"Of course the Second Wife refused to leave and stayed in the Bo's Mansion. It was only after the First Wife paid a large sum of money that they were driven out." Little Prince Fu shook his head: "The Bo's Mansion is not a wealthy family. Now, the Second Wife has almost emptied the Bo's Mansion. The First Wife is also ruthless and wants to draw a clear line with the Second Wife no matter what."

"The old uncle and the eldest wife are both smart people." The emperor sighed, "They are afraid that Rou'er will cause trouble in the future and bring trouble to the uncle's house. Rou'er looked good when she was young, but how come she has become like this when she grows up?"
