Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

Yin Qingxuan followed Ye Jingyu out of the palace, looking at her toes along the way.

But in my heart, I was thinking that the emperor was indeed ruthless.

If a woman living in the harem does not have the favor of the emperor, no matter how high her position is, it will be of no use. As long as she does not get her way, everything will be lost.

Fortunately, she didn't foolishly choose to fight in the palace, which would be tiring and a waste of brains.

Seeing Concubine Xian being demoted to the rank of concubine, Yin Qingxuan couldn't help but yearn for life outside the palace even more.

With the fruits and food in her space, making money is not a problem. By selling cosmetics and farming, Yin Qingxuan seems to have seen her life of having maids in droves and spending money like water.

I was thinking wildly along the way, but when I came to my senses, I had arrived at the imperial study room.

Ye Jingyu strode into the palace, his handsome face gloomy.

Yin Qingxuan quickly followed in. It was extremely hot outside, so she simply stood next to the ice basin.

Li Defu had already hunched over the desk and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it's past noon and the matter has been dealt with. It's time for you to eat something."

Ye Jingyu said calmly: "I'm not hungry, take it."

Yin Qingxuan tilted her head and glanced. Sure enough, there were four plates of side dishes on the table, and none of them had been touched.

Li Defu had no choice but to wave his hand and have the dishes removed.

Ye Jingyu has turned his attention to Yin Qingxuan.

"I heard from Xiao Anzi that the seeds have sprouted. I wonder how many of them have survived?"

Yin Qingxuan quickly stepped forward and said: "If it exceeds [-]%, the water and soil will be no problem."

Ye Jingyu's face softened slightly, and he raised his phoenix eyes and asked, "How many seeds do you still have in your hand?"

Yin Qingxuan glanced at him secretly and said, "Uh... there are some more."

Ye Jing looked at her and asked, "I wonder if you would be willing to donate the seeds?"

Yin Qingxuan rolled her eyes and said: "I am definitely willing, but I wonder if the emperor can allow me to leave the palace to see my family?"

Ye Jingyu's face suddenly darkened.

"No, but...I am willing to do a business with you."

Yin Qingxuan knew that he would not agree to her leaving the palace, so she did not feel too disappointed.

"I wonder what kind of business the emperor wants to do?"

Ye Jingyu said calmly: "I am willing to pay for your seeds. For one pound of seeds, I will give you 500 taels of silver."

Yin Qingxuan pursed her lips hard, for fear that she would laugh out loud.

A bag of seeds weighs a pound, but it’s just one point. This business is really a sure profit.

But he asked cautiously: "The emperor really wants to buy it with a slave?"

Ye Jingyu said: "Since it's not your own property, I can't take it by surprise."

Yin Qingxuan quickly knelt on the ground and said with a prostrate expression: "The emperor is so benevolent, I really admire you. My admiration for the emperor is like the endless river, and like the sea flooding out of control."

Ye Jingyu chuckled, feeling instantly happy.

"You little slave who is greedy for money, get up and don't run around again, lest you be arrested again."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yin Qingxuan got up and felt something was wrong.

Now Ye Jingyu wants to do business with her, but who knows if he will be punished for it in the future. People say that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and the emperor's thoughts are harder to guess than a woman's.

After much thought, Yin Qingxuan still felt that this business could not be done.

Immediately said: "The emperor bought the seeds for the benefit of the people. If the slave really sold it to the emperor, wouldn't it be equivalent to making a fortune for the country? Although the slave has not studied for a few years, he can't do such a thing that will last forever, so , I decided to dedicate all these seeds to the emperor."

"Oh?"

Ye Jingyu raised his head, the smile in his eyes getting a little thicker.

"You really think so?"

Yin Qingxuan knelt down and said: "Of course, it is the greatest honor of this slave's life to be able to solve problems for the Emperor."

Ye Jingyu laughed and said cheerfully: "Okay, from today on, you don't have to go back to the side hall anymore, just stay with me and serve me."

"what?"

Yin Qingxuan suddenly broke out in sweat. She really didn't mean that.

Ye Jingyu raised his eyes.

"Could it be that you don't want to?"

Yin Qingxuan quickly lowered his head.

"My slave is willing."

I couldn't help but express my condolences to his mother. After she had worked so hard, couldn't she be given a minor official position?

Who is willing to serve others and regards it as a gift? Isn’t this a disease?

Li Defu said with a displeased look on his face: "No thanks."

Thank you uncle, she doesn't want this favor.

But he pretended to be happy and said: "I thank the Lord for your kindness."

Ye Jingyu hummed and reached out to pick up the memorial.

Yin Qingxuan also subconsciously closed her mouth.

But seeing Li Defu waving his hand to her, Yin Qingxuan glanced at Ye Jingyu and followed Li Defu outside the hall.

"What are your orders, Eunuch Li?"

Li Defu's eyes widened and he scanned her face.

He clicked his tongue and said, "You really look like that master, but it's a pity that the master doesn't live long. If he endures it for a little longer, he might be in the spotlight."

Yin Qingxuan's heart skipped a beat. Li Defu indeed knew the original owner. He laughed dryly and asked pretending to be confused: "I wonder who the master Eunuch Li was talking about?"

"Who else could it be? Of course it's the one in the cold palace."

Li Defu sighed and said: "That's all, let's not talk about that. You were the one who made buns last time. Can you make some more?"

"Father-in-law, are you hungry?"

In the memory of the original owner, Li Defu had followed Ye Jingyu since he was a child and was one of the people he trusted most. It was still necessary to have a good relationship.

Li Defu rolled his eyes at her and said, "I'm not hungry, it's the emperor who is hungry. Didn't you see that the emperor didn't even eat a bite of food?"

Yin Qingxuan said: "Maybe it's too hot and I have no appetite."

"I see that the emperor has quite an appetite for those buns and dumplings. If you can do it, I will send you to the imperial kitchen. The emperor has approved so many memorials. If you don't eat a mouthful of food, your body will not be able to bear it."

Speaking of this, Li Defu glanced into the room with a distressed look on his face.

Yin Qingxuan also felt that Ye Jingyu was very hard-working. He got up earlier than a chicken in the morning, went to bed later than a dog, and had such endless work every day. No wonder not many emperors in the past lived long.

If we continue to be tired like this, we won't be far away from Karma.

After imagining the grand scene of holding the puppy egg and ascending the throne, Yin Qingxuan's lips suddenly burst into a smirk.

In an instant, he took it back.

At present, he is free from illness and disaster, and he estimates that he can still live for a while, but he still has to take good care of himself first, and then pursue his great career.

Then he nodded and said: "That's no problem, it's just that I gave all the flour to my sister in the cold palace. If I want to eat dumplings, I have to go over there to get it."

Li Defu frowned and whispered: "It's okay to get it, but you can't tell the emperor. He will definitely be taboo about things in the cold palace."

Yin Qingxuan rolled her eyes.

"The servant knows."

"Then go quickly, Xiao Anzi, come here and wait."
