Chapter 316 Generous as the Fifth Prince Concubine
It wasn't until the emperor's eyes wandered that he didn't dare to look at him. Ye Yibai then stared at Liu Xiangyun on the ground and sneered: "Even if I raise a foreign wife, why do you think you can get into the eyes of this prince?"
This sentence seals the throat with blood and is extremely poisonous.
What he said was clearly saying that they were not even qualified to be outsiders.
After hearing this, everyone except Liu Xiangyun, who was still kneeling on the ground, looked resentful.
What are these five princes talking about? Which one of them stands out and is not proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting? How can those outlying princes who are not on the stage compare with them?
If the selection of concubines this time was not authorized by the emperor, and the elders in the family wanted to please the emperor and let them participate in the election, many of them were just going through the motions and had no intention of being selected. But how could anyone bear to be ridiculed like this.
In front of the emperor, they naturally couldn't say anything treasonous and straightforward, but they still expressed their opinions one after another.
"Fifth Prince, what you said is wrong. It is your own business to raise a foreign wife. Naturally, we cannot comment on it. But it would be too much for you to compare a mere foreign wife with us. If there are sisters among us,
If you can be selected, it will also be the title of concubine, and you can enter the royal family tree."
"According to what the fifth prince's concubine said, the current expenses of the fifth prince's mansion are all paid by the fifth prince's concubine from her own pocket, but the fifth prince used the fifth prince's silver to support his wife. No matter what, it is not reasonable. Could it be that in the future, the sisters
To get started, do you need to be as generous as the fifth prince’s concubine?”
"Listen to Miss Liu, the Fifth Prince Concubine is an insider. She knew that you spent a lot of money for an unworthy outsider but still swallowed the bitter pill silently. We don't think we can be as generous as the Fifth Prince Concubine. If you are sincere
If you want to have a concubine, then please make a clean break with the foreign concubine, otherwise we will never accept it."
The girls were all talking to Ye Yibai, completely forgetting that Ye Yibai smashed the chair with his palm just now, and they were all filled with righteous indignation.
Ye Yibai's veins twitched when he heard it, and his expression remained unchanged.
But what could he say, that all the money was his, that the wealth of his princess was just a drop in the bucket compared to his, that the foreign wife was his princess?
No matter which one it is, no one will believe it.
After being a fool for so many years, where did the money come from?
As for the so-called concubine being his own prince's concubine, most of these people thought it was Hua Yanxi who cooperated with her in lying to cover up his ugliness.
Hua Yanxi's face was calm, but inside she couldn't stop laughing.
It was rare to see him so deflated.
Who would have thought that she could have such sequelae after losing her memory for just a few days.
She didn't say anything to help, just waiting to see how Ye Yibai would solve the problem.
The concubine was chosen for him, and he spent the money. Naturally, he had to bear the consequences.
The emperor looked at his son standing in the air-conditioning, without saying a word, so he kindly opened his mouth to save the situation and said: "Let the ones in the outer chamber go first. Today is the day to choose the concubine, so let's do this for now."
Ye Yibai glanced at Liu Xiangyun on the ground: "I don't need a talkative woman in my prince's house. You have been disqualified."
Immediately, he raised his head, looked at the others, and pointed at a few people: "And you, there is no need to compete anymore. As for the others, if you know that you can't be selected, you should withdraw early to avoid humiliating yourself."
poison!
There was only one thought in the minds of everyone in this congregation.
Who is willing to admit that he is inferior to others? If he quits, wouldn't it mean that he is really bad?
Those noble ladies who just wanted to go through the motions had only one thought left in their minds: they must be selected!
I still remember that being the concubine of a stupid prince is actually not a good thing. This damn desire to win actually made the remaining people not say anything about quitting.
If Ye Yibai knew what these people were thinking, he would probably blame himself for his bad words.
After the disqualified people left, Hua Yanxi began to explain the rules.
The rules may be said to be simple, but may be said to be difficult.
It is required to earn silver in the palace without any property. The time limit is before dinner. During this period, lunch at noon also needs to be taken care of by oneself.
This request is not undemanding, but it is difficult for these people to refute it now. If they refute it, doesn't it prove that they are incompetent? The princes and concubines have participated in it just like them.
So, everyone dispersed. Hua Yanxi was just about to lift her legs to leave when she was stopped by the emperor.
I saw the emperor waving to Hua Yanxi furtively, and glancing at Ye Yibai rather fearfully.
When Hua Yanxi approached, she heard the emperor ask in a very gossipy manner: "Have you seen the outer chamber? What is her character like? Is it appropriate to accept her as a concubine?"
Hua Yanxi rolled her eyes, and then said with a somewhat harsh tone: "My family background is not obvious, but my appearance is very good, and my personality is gentle and gentle. The fifth prince likes her very much."
The emperor was immediately excited when he heard this: "Family background is secondary, as long as Xiao Wu likes it."
Hua Yanxi looked troubled: "But..."
"But what, you won't tell me that you don't want to take the person back to your home because of jealousy, right?" The emperor looked like you dare to admit that I will fall out with you.
Hua Yanxi sighed: "It's not that my daughter-in-law has any objections, but that the woman is too delicate. She eats delicacies from the mountains and seas and wears silk and satin. Father, you have also heard that the woman is shopping around.
When you go to a jewelry store, you have to buy out all the items and buy some clothes.
Her clothes must be rounded, so it’s okay this time or twice, but if things continue like this, how can a family like ours afford to raise her? If she is raised outside, she will probably know how to advance and retreat and not be too presumptuous. If she is taken into the house, then every month
My daughter-in-law really cannot afford the expenses."
The emperor was startled when he heard this: "That woman, the cost is so huge?"
Hua Yanxi nodded: "The reason why people are willing to be a mistress is not for money. Could it be that they are also for others?"
The emperor was reluctant when he heard it and wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he really couldn't refute.
In terms of appearance, his Xiao Wu is disfigured and wears a mask all day long.
In terms of consideration, his fifth child is childlike and doesn't know how to be a husband.
It seems that all that is left is a prince title and a wealthy in-law family.
The emperor thought that the treasury had been much richer in recent months because of Hua Yanxi, so he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and decided: "In this case, I will order the Ministry of Accounts to allocate a sum of money to you later. You must take good care of this person. Listen to you
In this way, this foreign minister is ignorant. Xiaowu's interest in that person will fade over time. Before that, you can take him into the house and take good care of him."
Hua Yanxi nodded and asked, "Then do you want to make her a concubine or something?"
