Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 342: Concubine Ye has not been served in the palace for one year

Qiyun Hall.

At noon, with the food sent over from Ningyuxuan's kitchen, everyone ate with great enjoyment. The fifth prince touched his stomach and kept shouting that he was full, which made everyone laugh.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, everyone said goodbye one after another after agreeing on the next time they would come to see the emperor.

That’s right, a time was agreed upon. It was Prince Fu who suggested it.

He said that it was rare for the brothers to get together, so why not get together once in a while in the future to strengthen the brotherhood.

The Emperor wanted to disagree, but...

Seeing the third and fifth brothers, especially the approving eyes of his father, he consciously shut his mouth.

Let's get together, besides, he also likes this atmosphere of love between brothers.

Just think of it as his filial piety, as long as his father is happy.

"Brother Prince Fu..."

The Third Prince waited for the little Prince Fu, who was walking slowly at the back, to come up to him and call out to him softly.

"Is something wrong?"

Prince Fu didn't believe that the boy would wait for him outside in the cold wind for no reason.

"That's it..."

The Third Prince told Prince Xiaofu everything he had been holding back for a day and a half.

It turned out that a house in the capital was robbed yesterday, and the third prince was sent by his superiors to investigate the case.

This case is very simple. The silver bills hidden by the hostess were stolen. She hid them very carefully, in a place that ordinary people could not find.

The third prince is now a mature criminal detective. He went over to check the terrain and asked questions, and solved the case in less than an hour.

It turned out that the man of the house lost money in gambling and took out the banknotes to pay off his gambling debts.

These trivial matters happen every day in the capital. Once the Third Prince gets to the bottom of things, it will have nothing to do with him.

Seeing that it was still early, he did not rush back, but found a theater nearby and sat there to watch a play.

This is also a pastime for him in his spare time.

Suddenly, he was attracted by the whispers around him.

"Are you telling the truth?"

a muffled voice asked.

"Of course it's true. It's all over the capital now. The emperor doesn't like Concubine Ye. She's been in the palace for a year, and she hasn't served him yet?"

Another voice said smugly, this is big news, many people have known about it in the past few days.

"what are you guys saying?"

The third prince couldn't help but stand up and shouted, "How dare you gossip about the concubines in public? You must be tired of living."

The two men were shocked when they first saw the Third Prince. It was not a glorious thing to talk about someone behind their back.

The Third Prince also knew that this matter could not be discussed in public, so he took out the badge of the Ministry of Justice and motioned for the two men to follow him to the Ministry for questioning.

The man who told this story went to the Ministry of Justice and was so scared that he confessed everything.

It turned out that a big news suddenly came out in the capital these days.

That was the young lady who was sent to the palace by the most famous Huang Mansion in the capital. She was promoted in the harem from a concubine to a concubine.

The palace said to the outside that Concubine Ye was promoted because of her meritorious service in saving the emperor, but the matter was not that simple.

It turned out that Concubine Ye had been disliked by the emperor ever since she entered the palace. Even after a year in the palace, the emperor had never visited Ningyuxuan where she lived once.

Since I have never been to where she lives, then of course I have never served her in bed.

What does it mean that a beautiful concubine has never served the emperor in bed? It means that the emperor really doesn't like her.

The emperor promoted her to a higher position as a compensation for the ability of her father and brother.

Everyone who heard the news thought of the same question: this Concubine Ye might just end up being just a concubine.

You know, if you are not favored by the emperor in the harem, it is good enough to survive. It is simply nonsense to want to go further.

The Third Prince said this while looking at his little brother Prince Fu.

Little Prince Fu's face became increasingly gloomy, and by the time he finished speaking, his face was so gloomy that it was unbearable to look at.

"What should we do? Should we let the Emperor know about this? And... should we tell Concubine Ye?"

"This matter cannot be concealed. The emperor must know about it."

He didn't expect those people to be so bold that they even dared to spread things in the harem. If someone said that this was not intentional, Prince Fu would not believe it.

"Then... Ning Yuxuan..."

"Don't let her know yet."

Little Prince Fu narrowed his eyes.

Her adopted sister is such a nice girl. She would be very upset if she knew about this. It’s better not to tell her.

The third prince nodded in agreement. He thought so too. Concubine Ye was such a beautiful girl, and she should not be ruined by these gossips.

"Let's go to the Yangxin Palace together and see what the emperor says about this matter."

Since this news came from the palace, let the emperor solve it.

The third prince agreed obediently and followed the young Prince Fu to the Yangxin Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

After the emperor had eaten and drunk his fill, he saw the yellow leaves he had been longing for. He was in a good mood and decided not to take a nap.

He asked Eunuch Yu to send someone to bring the memorials from the Imperial Study, and he would review them in the Yangxin Palace.

"Your Majesty, Prince Fu and the Third Prince are here."

Eunuch Yu came in to report.

"Let them in."

The emperor thought to himself that these two were just having dinner together, why did they have to come over to say anything?

These two, maybe they want to come over and talk to their big brother...

The emperor only guessed half right. After he finished listening to the third prince's narration, the good mood he had accumulated for the whole morning disappeared in an instant.

"Your Majesty, you need to take good care of your harem. Rumors like this can spread..."

Little Prince Fu muttered.

Eunuch Yu was also very angry. There were only a few people in the harem who hated Concubine Ye. If the emperor was determined, he would definitely find out.

The emperor is further away than they thought.

"During this short six months, the Queen Mother was confined to her house, Concubine Wang was sentenced to death, and the Queen was deposed..."

The emperor said with difficulty.

"Do they have to wait until I convict everyone in the harem before they can stop?"

He looked at the two brothers in front of him.

The emperor thought that he was very good to everyone in the harem. As long as they didn't act strangely, he generally wouldn't care too much even if they did some small things.

"Your Majesty, where there are people there will be competition, especially now that the throne is vacant, it is understandable that those people have some thoughts."

Prince Fu felt a little sorry for the emperor's miserable expression.

So many things have happened in the harem in the past six months. It cannot be said that the emperor is soft-hearted. It is because those people are too greedy that so many things have happened.

The emperor acted so decisively, but these people have not been taught a lesson and are still challenging the emperor's bottom line.

No matter how they made a fuss, it was none of his business. They should never, ever step on his adopted sister.

If he didn't find this man and kill him, Prince Fu felt that he would be letting down the tea his adopted sister had given him.
