Little Xingxing had just gotten up and washed up, and before she had time to have breakfast, Eunuch Liu, who was next to Chu Yichen, came to announce Little Xingxing's entry into the palace.
Little Xingxing was so cold that she didn't want to move at all.
She went to Chu Yutian's house first, and as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by Yun Xiao.
"Uncle hasn't gotten up yet?"
"get up."
Yun Xiao's expression was a little strange, "The prince summoned my concubine last night, and it was inconvenient for the princess to go in."
"..."
Little Xingxing was stunned.
During the days she had been living in Prince Yu's Mansion, she had never seen Chu Yutian having sex with any woman, so much so that she completely forgot that Chu Yutian had countless concubines in his backyard.
Little Xingxing slapped her forehead and stopped.
She told Yun Xiao, "Then you tell your uncle when he comes out and tell him that the emperor has asked me to enter the palace. I will go to the palace first. There will be a palace banquet in the evening. When the palace banquet is over, I will come back with him."
"oh."
Little Xingxing was about to leave when she saw that Yun Xiao's expression was still weird, so she couldn't help but stop. She had become quite familiar with Yun Xiao in the past few days, and she knew that Yun Xiao was someone who never changed his face despite the collapse of the mountain.
What's going on here?
She poked Yunxiao with her elbow, "My uncle just loves this concubine, why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"
"..."
Yunxiao's expression was complicated.
He closed his mouth tightly, with an expression like "Don't try to get anything out of me."
Little Star rolled her eyes.
Not to mention pulling him down.
When she met Chu Li, she asked Chu Li, and she found out that there was nothing Chu Li didn't know.
Little Xingxing patted her butt and went to the palace.
…
Qianqing Palace.
Chu Yichen was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. He stared closely at the little star, "Anle, it's New Year's Eve today."
"I know."
Little Xingxing took out the explosive she had prepared from her sleeve and handed it to Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Liu handed the explosive to Chu Yichen. Chu Yichen's eyes brightened slightly, but when he saw something like a firecracker in his hand, he was a little suspicious.
"This thing can blow up an entire palace? Anle, don't lie to me."
"Of course this one is not that powerful. It requires many, many explosives bundled together to have that effect."
"Then why did you do this?"
"Your Majesty, do you think this thing is easy to make?" Little Xingxing glared and said exaggeratedly, "This thing is difficult to make, and the production process is also very dangerous. If you accidentally explode it, Anle can't be like this with all his arms and legs."
The one with legs appeared in front of the emperor."
"So dangerous?"
"Of course, if you don't believe me, just light the twister and give it a try."
"..."
I'm sorry she didn't dare to lie to him.
Chu Yichen put away the explosives, raised his head and asked Little Xingxing, "Can it be made in batches?"
"No, it's taken me so long to get this one out. I can't do it in batches. Your Majesty, please hire someone else."
She only promised to make explosives for him.
I didn't promise to do much for him.
It would be good to give him one. If he has the ability, find someone to copy it.
She doesn't care about the rest.
Anyway, she is about to get married to "Rong Heng" now, and Chu Yichen can no longer threaten her.
Chu Yichen also knows this truth.
He silently put away the explosives and asked Little Xingxing, "How is the progress with Uncle Huang?"
"How can it be so fast?"
Little Xingxing rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Thanks to you, I have to develop a relationship with that ugly guy Rong Heng during the day, and we only see each other for a while during dinner at night. My uncle is very vigilant, and Yuxi is very cautious.
The most important thing is that I dare not inquire rashly, so I can only figure it out slowly."
Chu Yichen knew that this matter could not be rushed.
He was also afraid that Su Xing'er wouldn't take it seriously, so he reminded her.
"I understand, please step back."
"yes."
Little Star exits Qianqing Palace.
After she completely left Qianqing Palace, she sneered.
This Chu Yichen.
His son had only died a few days ago, and he didn't look sad at all.
I don’t know if I’m not pretending.
Still don't bother to pretend in front of her.
"Pooh!"
Little Xingxing spat heavily and went back to Cining Palace.
…
There is a palace banquet on New Year's Eve.
The palace banquet is still held in Meixiang Hall.
Because it counts as half a family banquet, men and women sit together at the same table.
Little Xingxing was arranged to sit at the same table as Chu Li, Chu Yiran and He Lianyan. The ministers who came to attend the palace banquet also brought their wives to the banquet.
Chu Yutian also came.
He also had an ordinary-looking concubine with him.
That concubine looked to be in her early twenties and was wearing a green trousers. Her appearance was ordinary, and she was even more colorless when sitting next to Chu Yutian. But she had a charming temperament, which made me feel pity for her.
She seemed to have never participated in such an occasion. Her whole body was tense and her eyes were timid, looking like a little rabbit that could be frightened at any time.
On such occasions, everyone brings their wives, but Chu Yutian is not an ordinary person, and no one dares to cause trouble to him.
"Huh!"
Hearing Chu Li's voice next to her, Little Xingxing immediately looked at him. Seeing his eyes falling on the concubine, she frowned, "What's wrong?"
Chu Li said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Although the emperor has many concubines, he has never brought any of them to public places."
"Well……"
Little Xingxing suddenly remembered something strange about Yun Xiao in the morning, and she also lowered her voice, "Before Chu Yichen announced that I would enter the palace in the morning, I went to my uncle's room. Yun Xiao said that my uncle had summoned a concubine to serve in the bedroom. Is that okay? It will be this woman."
"..."
Chu Li suddenly narrowed his eyes, "You said that the emperor's uncle was in his room and summoned his concubine to sleep with him?"
"Hmm, weird?"
"It's more than weird."
Chu Li was very familiar with these things in the palace, and immediately said what was wrong, "The emperor's uncle has nearly a hundred concubines, but his concubines are just playthings to him. Those women are not allowed to step out of the backyard, and the front yard is even more dangerous." It is a forbidden place for concubines. As far as I know, the emperor has never made an exception and stayed in his house for one night...I think the emperor really likes that woman."
"..."
Confused.
No wonder Yun Xiao's expression is so strange.
It turns out that concubine is an exception to Chu Yutian's rules.
Little Xingxing couldn't help but look to the other side.
Bow down from your high seat.
Chu Yutian held the wine glass with one hand and hugged the concubine with the other. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was saying to the concubine. His expression was gentle as she had never seen before.
The concubine was probably very afraid of him. She froze and didn't dare to raise her head at all.
Even so, Chu Yutian didn't look angry at all. He took a piece of mung bean cake from the table and brought it to the woman's lips with a smile. The woman reached out to pick it up, but Chu Yutian wouldn't let her touch it and started feeding her.
The woman ate a piece of pastry in small bites.
Chu Yutian picked up the tea cup again and started to feed her a few sips of tea.
"Uncle... seems to really like her."
"Um."
Little Xingxing scratched her head, "He always has a cold face and looks so fierce that it's not easy to get close to him. This is the first time I've seen him smile so gently to a woman. It's pretty good."
