Metaphysical Talisman Wife Fortune-telling Spirit: Orion eats chaff and I eat meat

Concubine Xue was really outgoing and took the initiative to talk about her relationship with the Emperor.

After listening to Concubine Xue's words, Xiao Luoyi suddenly understood.

It turned out that the Emperor had drunk too much during a banquet for his ministers and favored Concubine Xue, who was still a palace maid. It was at that time that Concubine Xue became pregnant.

As a result, the new emperor had real concubines in his harem for the first time.

Although she was just a noble lady, given that the Emperor had no other concubines, she was pregnant with the emperor's heir.

He actually came out on top.

This is incredible wealth!
Concubine Xue's father was originally a ninth-rank official, and he was promoted because of Concubine Xue.

Speaking of this, Concubine Xue was full of gratitude, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she invited Xiao Luoyi to come to the palace more often to talk to her while she was in the capital...

Xiao Luoyi agreed perfunctorily and chatted with her for a long time. After Chen Huaiyu and the Emperor finished talking, he took his leave.

The moment Chen Huaiyu saw Concubine Xue, he was surprised, but then he concealed his emotions well and said goodbye to Xiao Luoyi and Lu Yingying and left.

Concubine Xue gave Xiao Luoyi some more things. When the group came out of the palace, Xiao Luoyi's back was wet with sweat.

Although Concubine Xue was smiling and talking, Xiao Luoyi did not feel her true closeness and kindness.

Instead, there was a hint of hostility between his eyebrows.

Xiao Luoyi was just thinking about it when Chen Huaiyu and Lu Yingying came over. As soon as they came in, they asked Xiao Huaniang, Yunying and others to leave as they wanted to talk.

Xiao Luoyi looked at Chen Huaiyu's tense face, puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Chen Huaiyu said gloomily: "That noble lady Xue looks like someone."

"Who?"

Lu Yingying and Xiao Luoyi both looked at Chen Huaiyu in surprise.

Chen Huaiyu said in a deep voice: "My mother."

He already knew his own life experience and knew that he and his three brothers were the biological sons of the Emperor.

But my mother had passed away for so long, and Yang Chenghou became the emperor, and suddenly found a substitute who looked like my mother to be a noble... Chen Huaiyu felt a little uncomfortable.

Even though his mind told him that there was nothing wrong with this, he still felt uncomfortable.

After all, in a child's heart, the position of the mother is irreplaceable.

Xiao Luoyi and Lu Yingying both widened their eyes in shock: "!!!"

After thinking about it, Xiao Luoyi told Chen Huaiyu and Lu Yingying what she heard from Concubine Xue.

After listening to it, the two of them thought about it and understood.

It's easy to understand why His Majesty the Emperor drank and slept with a palace maid who looked somewhat like Mu Yaohua.

After all, she was once the apple of my eye. It was normal for him to fall asleep with her when he suddenly met someone who looked similar to him and he had been drinking and was not very rational.

The coincidence of this matter is that Concubine Xue became pregnant overnight.

Now even if His Majesty the Emperor wanted to deny it, he had no choice but to confer the title of noble upon her.

Chen Huaiyu suddenly laughed: "He is His Majesty, the ruler of the world. What is a noble lady? Even if he has three thousand beauties in his harem, it is his due."

Xiao Luoyi and Lu Yingying were both speechless: they didn't know what to say.

After calming down, Chen Huaiyu took Xiao Luoyi and Lu Yingying to the Yihe Building.

In the Yihe Tower, Luo Hongzhang and Jin Yilin, who had received the news, were already waiting there, and Jin Hehua was also there.

As soon as I saw them coming, my eyes lit up!

"My Lord, Princess, have you eaten yet?"

Chen Huaiyu said no.

The food was served immediately. The dishes at Yihe Tower in the capital were different from those at Yongzhou Prefecture.

After all, the two places have different tastes, and the chefs tend to go in different directions.

However, this does not affect the daily income of Yihe Building.

Because Chen Huaiyu continued to use the previous management method: open kitchen and open counter, each chef makes his own specialty dishes, and diners order by looking at the dishes.

The chefs' income is directly determined by how many orders their specialties receive.

This has inspired the chefs to compete with each other, and they have all put their best efforts to show off their skills, just to attract more repeat customers.

Jin Hehua has a cheerful personality. She is engaged to Luo Hongzhang recently and is considered one of the owners of Yihe Building. She chats and laughs with Xiao Luoyi and Lu Yingying.

Xiao Luoyi and Lu Yingying enjoyed the meal to their heart's content.

During the meal, Luo Hongzhang and Jin Yilin also talked about Concubine Xue.

Ever since His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne, civil and military officials began to submit memorials from time to time requesting the selection of a concubine and a queen.

His Majesty the Emperor will not issue any orders.

The ministers became anxious and raised the issue in the court one after another.

However, His Majesty the Emperor said that he had three adopted sons and wanted to concentrate on state affairs, and asked everyone not to worry about the harem.

The ministers privately wondered whether His Majesty the Emperor had a hidden illness?
Then I thought again, if he didn't have any hidden illness, why hadn't he gotten married and had children at this age?
The first thing he did after becoming the emperor was not to choose a concubine, but to adopt three sons?!
If he wasn't ill, how could this be possible? !
After repeated evidence like this, all officials concluded that: His Majesty the Emperor is ill!
Girls from every household were also brought up in pampering. If they were destined to be childless, why would they be sent to the harem? !

Everyone just thought about it and that was it.

Just at this time, a palace maid became pregnant!

His Majesty the Emperor also conferred the title of noble lady upon her...

His Majesty the Emperor is not ill! ?
Then why didn't he get married and have children all these years? !
No one was busy trying to find out the reason.

At this point, Jin Yilin's expression was solemn: "Now the court is bustling with people arguing about asking His Majesty the Emperor to choose a concubine and a queen. Every family wants to send their daughter to the palace..."

When Chen Huaiyu and the other two heard this, there was nothing they didn't understand: the harem was connected to the previous dynasty.

Now the Emperor's first empress and four concubines are all vacant. If these officials can send their daughters to take up a position, wouldn't their families be prosperous? !

If she was luckier, she would become the queen and give birth to a legitimate son...

The whole family will soar to the sky!

No wonder these ministers were so excited as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Chen Huaiyu: "What is your Majesty's decision now?"

Jin Yilin explained: "His Majesty the Emperor did not respond, but he did not refuse either."

That means you might agree to it later.

Chen Huaiyu felt uncomfortable, but he knew he had no right to object, and he couldn't tell anyone about his feelings.

It feels like my dad has been stolen.

Luo Hongzhang didn't know why Chen Huaiyu suddenly became depressed, but he was good at socializing and naturally would not let the atmosphere become dull, so he directly asked the shopkeeper to bring the account book.

"This is the account book of Yihe Building during this period. You are the boss, take a look..."

Chen Huaiyu looked at Luo Hongzhang gratefully, took the account book, and forced himself to divert his attention.

It’s true that the business of Yihelou is really good. In just a few months, the net profit of Yihelou has reached more than 8,000 taels!

In total, the monthly income is more than one thousand taels.

Luo Hongzhang and Jin Yilin could not even imagine this before the opening.

The net profit of a restaurant can exceed more than one thousand taels a month!
Buying a restaurant in half a year?! (End of this chapter)
