Chapter 17 Tyrant Emperor Yu'an
When Liang, the butler who was serving outside, heard this, he hurried in:
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Just as he was worrying about how to convince the emperor to give up this idea, Chief Steward Liang saw the little emperor suddenly flick his sleeves and sit back on the bed:
"Forget it, I won't go."
Liang, the steward, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took a handkerchief and went forward. He squatted down and prepared to wipe the little emperor's feet, but the little emperor frowned and stopped him:
"Alright, alright, put your things down and get out! I want to be alone!"
Manager Liang did not delay and stood up and said:
"Okay, Your Majesty, but you have to take care of yourself. Although it's hot today, the ground is still cold. You can't stand like this without shoes!"
The little emperor muttered "noisy" casually, but didn't say much more.
After Manager Liang left, he wiped his feet with a handkerchief, threw the handkerchief aside, and lay down on the bed.
He doesn't need to go out, he just needs to call people over.
As for what name...
It has been a while since the palace held a banquet. Perhaps...
The little emperor's name was Di Yu'an.
His biological mother was once the empress, but she was plotted against by the emperor's favorite concubine, which weakened her health. She gave birth to him after being bedridden for a long time and feeling depressed.
Emperor Yu'an has been sickly since birth, and it was all thanks to the Queen's family who found all kinds of miraculous doctors and medicines to help him recuperate.
When he was seven or eight years old, the imperial concubine, who had worked hard for so many years and finally had the good news, secretly bribed her maid to drug him, hoping to get rid of Di Yu'an, the legitimate prince, and make room for her future child.
Thanks to the timely discovery, Di Yu'an did not die on the spot, but his body was greatly affected.
The emperor doted on the imperial concubine. No matter whether she was plotting against the empress in the past or poisoning the prince now, he had no intention of dealing with her.
The queen endured it for several years, but when she saw her child being harmed like this and the culprit still living a glamorous life, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and died with the vicious concubine and the eccentric emperor.
This royal scandal was covered up, and the only news from the palace was that the emperor, empress, and imperial concubine suddenly became malicious and unfortunately passed away together.
The emperor has been obsessed with the imperial concubine for many years. Apart from the empress and the imperial concubine, there are few concubines with official titles in the harem. After the birth of the legitimate prince Di Yu'an, the harem was in name only. Only the imperial concubine was favored, so the only heir left by the late emperor is Di Yu'an.
He naturally inherited the throne.
They all thought that this sickly man would soon become a puppet, but unexpectedly, the young emperor taught them a lesson.
This young man is extremely intelligent and good at manipulating people's hearts. In his hands, everything that happens in the court is nothing but a game.
Emperor Yu'an came to the throne at a young age, and soon took control of the court with the help of the people left by the Queen. His intelligence and methods were much more powerful than those of his romantic father.
Just when everyone thought that Da Qi was about to produce a famous emperor, they discovered a fatal flaw of this emperor - he got angry too easily.
Once provoked, rivers of blood will flow.
Many officials in the court were replaced, and even the eunuchs and maids in the harem were replaced. Naturally, those who were replaced died miserably.
Di Yu'an's reputation as a tyrant gradually spread, and almost no one dared to look him in the eye. It was truly like living with a tiger to serve the emperor.
That is Liang Dehai, the chief steward left by the late queen. He had watched him grow up since he was a child and therefore felt somewhat close to him. Others, let alone approaching him, would shudder even when they heard his voice.
This Majesty is notorious for having a devilish heart. He has a face as white as jade, but his hands are covered in blood.
Because of his poor health and uncontrollable emotions, after Emperor Yu'an came to the throne, he simply cancelled all banquets in the palace, big or small. He was simply impatient to see those who he considered idiots.
The officials who used to talk a lot about etiquette and laws did not dare to argue much about his decision, and they all acquiesced to his orders like timid quails.
After so many years, Emperor Yu'an actually had the rare idea of holding a banquet in the palace.
As soon as he thought of this idea, he could no longer sit still and shouted again:
"Liang Dehai, come in!"
Manager Liang was shocked.
Your Majesty, do you want to leave the palace again so late at night?
Not to mention the safety issues after going out, the wind is still a bit cold at night, and Your Majesty's body cannot withstand the tossing and turning.
Chief Steward Liang hurried into the room, racking his brains to think of how to persuade the emperor to stay in the bedroom.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came in, he saw the emperor sitting over there, and asked with great interest:
"Liang Dehai, is there anything you need to celebrate recently?"
"Ah?" Liang, the usually eloquent steward, couldn't keep up with the emperor's jumping thoughts and uttered a puzzled sound.
The people in the palace didn't sleep well, but Ye Qiongying outside the palace slept until dawn.
There is no need to worry about the trivial matters in the Marquis' Mansion, no need to go to the West Garden to pay respects to the old lady, and no need to run around for Yin Xu's future. These days are so comfortable.
After getting up and having breakfast, Ye Qiongying checked the dowry list with Wenping.
Then, people from Jinxiu Pavilion and Bingwu Pavilion arrived.
The craftsmanship of Jinxiu Pavilion is really good.
Especially the summer-themed flagship model. As soon as I got it, even the maids in the house were fascinated by it and couldn’t take their eyes off it.
The red was different from the pure red one worn at a wedding. It was a little darker, but no less bright. The dark patterns on it were even more luxurious and beautiful, even more stunning than the promotional pictures in the store.
However, this skirt met a special owner.
While the maids were fascinated by the skirt, Ye Qiongying was also muttering:
"It's so beautiful! It's really good craftsmanship, and the money was well spent!"
Yeah yeah.
Wen Ping nodded repeatedly and was about to say a few words of agreement, but she found that her master was not talking to the skirt at all, but was holding a sword with an admiring look on his face.
The compliment just now was obviously directed at the Bingwu Pavilion.
Wen Ping did not find it strange. Instead, she seemed to see her master from her childhood. She covered her mouth and smiled before walking forward.
"Master, this skirt?"
"Put them all away. Just leave me a set of training clothes outside. I want to change into them and play with this treasure."
She touched the sword in her hand, and couldn't help but touch the whip on the other side, and the nunchaku next to it...
That expression was like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman.
Wen Ping and her maidservants collected the skirts from Jinxiu Pavilion and helped her master change into training clothes.
Ye Qiongying actually took her weapons and went to the backyard to practice.
After three years of wasted time, when she held the hilt of the sword in her hand, she realized that her former self was not dead yet, and those familiar moves and body reactions were all still there.
Wen Ping stood in the corridor with a smile on her face, watching her master practicing with the sword. A group of maids kept clapping and cheering, stunned by this other side of their mistress that she had never shown before.
The main courtyard is full of vitality, and in another small courtyard in the marquis's mansion, Leng Qianqian has also embarked on her entrepreneurial journey.
"For my first shop, I'm going to open a ready-made clothing shop!" Leng Qianqian was full of confidence. "Let me set a small goal first. I want to surpass Jinxiu Pavilion within a month and become the most famous ready-made clothing shop in the capital!"
