Chapter 263 Sooner or later, we'll all be the same
was a legitimate prince, and everyone knew that the late emperor had always wanted to pass the throne to his eldest son.He was restless, his mind churning with what would happen if the imperial edict...Lin'an Inner City, Gold-Painted Street
This is the most prosperous street in the Inner City. Unlike Shun Street's commercialism, it is more like a scenic view because it is the only road connecting the Inner City to the Outer City, and also the road that everyone entering the Inner City from the Outer City must take. 。Because it was important, this street was the quickest to be cleared. 。Not only has the rubble been cleared, but even the stones that were overturned when the earth dragon turned over have been replaced. 。Now, the Chén Wangfu carriage is dashing along Dàjīn Street, moving swiftly towards the city gate. 。Ye Chu'lian sat in the carriage, her eyebrows drooping, silent as a shadow. 。She didn't ask why the carriage was going so fast, nor why the Fourth Prince had deliberately led her away from her maidservant, nor where they were headed now. 。She only clenched a handkerchief tightly in both hands, her knuckles turning white, as if to relieve her tension. 。Quan Qinghua sat across from her, saying nothing, just staring at her. 。Until the carriage left the inner city, Ye Chulian heard the sound of the guards closing the city gates before realizing that it was indeed getting late. 。Finally, the carriage stopped, and the sound of the attendant stars came from outside the carriage: "Master, we've arrived." 。" He drew a bow and said, "En." He didn't rush to get out, but instead asked Ye Chulian: "If you are afraid, after this king gets off the carriage, I will let it send you back. " 。Although the inner city has closed its gates, one can still enter and exit with the king's jade pendant. 。"
Night Chu Lian didn't even think, she shook her head resolutely and said, "I'm not afraid!"
"Not afraid" He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Then do you know why I called you out"
"Tea"
She answered curtly, “Fourth Prince invited me for tea.” 。"What if" "There is no 'what if'. You drink tea, you drink tea." 。She spoke, and rose first to her feet. She raised the carriage curtain and walked out. 。Xing jumped, thinking that the one who came out first would be his master! As a result, Ye Si took the lead. 。He quickly arranged the footrest stool and helped Ye Chu Lian out of the car, then saw Ye Chu Lian glance towards the street and point to the teahouse in front of them, asking, "Is this it" Star glanced at Quan Qinghua who had also gotten off the car. Seeing his master nod, he said, "Indeed, the second-floor private room" 。" Ye Chu Lian, with her skirt held up, walked inside. The teahouse's staff were all stunned. 。Finally, the two sat comfortably in the private room. The waiter brought tea and several candle stands, and then Ye Chulian said again: "I know why the Fourth Prince called me out. My second brother caused trouble, and my elder sister helped him settle it, but Your Highness is angry..." 。So it was ostensibly an invitation to have tea, but actually a warning: Fourth Sister, you're angry. If Fourth Sister can't give me a way out, I might not be able to come back. 。It's fine, since I was born into the Ye family, I can't escape these things. I've been mentally prepared for this a long time. 。Your Highness need not burden yourself, I am but a single person, my life and death are of no consequence. 。She downed the tea in her hand in one gulp, her face a mask of grim determination. 。Quan Qinghua, seeing her like this, thought back to himself when he first learned he was going to be sent to the country of Guiyue. 。At first, he was reluctant and even tried every means to resist. 。But later, he gave it up. Whenever someone brought up the matter of Guiyue, he would appear indifferent, even able to discuss it with others as if Guiyue Country were his true home. 。Even as he was leaving, he was still smiling and talking to people. If he had the chance, he would go to Guiyue for a visit. That place is also very beautiful. 。But at that time, he truly had no choice and no strength to resist. 。But Ye Chulian wasn't like that. He wasn't cruel enough to directly abduct people. Whenever someone shook their head at Ye Chulian in the General's Mansion, he wouldn't take them away. 。Ke Ye Chu Lian got it right, the reason he brought her out of the inner city was indeed because he was angry with Ye Wen Yan. 。He never thought that he himself would do such a thing, transferring his hatred for one person onto another. 。At night, Yin Wen left his home in Lin'an's inner city with his daughter, Ju'er. The carriage driver was Jie Du. 。When they arrived, she found the gates of the Prince's mansion wide open. Pingyang, whom she had seen twice before, was waiting at the entrance. As soon as he saw Ye Jia's carriage arrive, he immediately stepped forward and respectfully waited for Ye Wenyan to get out of the carriage. Then, he bowed respectfully, without asking any questions, and invited them into the mansion. 。"It's as if they were waiting for us on purpose," said Zhuoer, adding her own comment. Pingyang then said, "Indeed, it was my master who sent servants to greet us at the gate." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。Your Majesty, the Fourth Sister will definitely be here, so please keep the door open for her no matter how late it gets. The servants will have to wait outside. 。>> 。"People who care Isn't it that Third Prince is going to marry a legitimate wife So after cleaning up the back house" Right, those noisy people have gotten very close now, almost ten steps away. With the help of lanterns, you can faintly see... Let me know if you need anything else translated!。As for the words spoken during the clamor, they seemed more genuine. 。The maids mostly just cried, at most they didn't want to leave, begging the Lord for mercy and to keep them. 。Yet only one person was the loudest and got the most. 。That woman was being escorted away by the guards, her arms pinned. She was screaming desperately, "I won't go! Why are we the ones leaving We are legitimate concubines of the Duke's mansion. Even if we aren't noble consorts, at least we are women. We can bear children for the Third Prince, give him an heir, and walk openly by his side on the streets!" 。Why should we give way to the Second Young Master that night Isn't his status in Prince Ren's Mansion enough Although he doesn't live here, from top to bottom, everyone listens to him. Even the Prince's guards obey him. This mansion, he comes and goes as he pleases, no corner is guarded against him, isn't this enough Now why are we being driven away Can't he tolerate us" Duier stroked her forehead, she really thought she had missed something... 。
As the person cursed got closer, the concubine looked up at Ye Wenyan. For a moment, she was stunned and subconsciously blurted out, "Could it be because of Young Master Ye Er Because of you It makes sense, you're so handsome, you do deserve to have this entire Wangfu all to yourself>>> 。She burst into laughter, laughing like a madwoman, “But you’ve got it wrong, this manor doesn’t belong to the King, but to the second young master of a first-rank General’s Residence!” 。The King's study is off-limits to you, but the second son of a First Rank General can enter. 。If you want to stand firm here, the first thing you need to learn is patience. Not patience for any woman, but patience for a man. 。Because our Wangye's heart, there is only that Second Young Master. He wishes he could give the entire manor to him, and even more so, he wishes he could give him his own heart. 。Look at us, we are living examples! Each of us has been favored by the King, all once his most beloved concubines. 。But we've lived in this house for so many years, yet not a single one of us has ever been free from his shadow. 。Perhaps she had stirred their emotions. The women behind her began to recount their supposed hardships over the years, each sentence mentioning the Second Young Master of the Night family and urging Night Wenyan to stay away from Renwangfu, warning that sooner or later he would end up like them. 。Pingyang couldn't stand it anymore and shouted at the guards, "Hurry up and take this person away! What are you doing here making a fuss You've disturbed Sister Night Four, and none of us can afford to take responsibility!"The concubines understood now. "You're not a newcomer to the mansion, are you You're Lin'an's number one beauty, Night Family's Fourth Sister! You're Night Second Young Master's sister!" Now that they had found the right person, they began to scold her relentlessly. The one who was scolding the most furiously jumped up at once and tried to rush forward, but she was held tightly by the guards and couldn't move an inch. 。She cried in anger, “I barely got into the palace and hadn't enjoyed a few years of wealth and prosperity before ending up like this! None of you Ye family members are good people!”
Zhuier was about to retort angrily, but Ye Wenyan stopped her. 。She shook her head, looking at the woman with heavy makeup and thin clothes. "A woman who can truly stand firm in a place like the Prince's Manor should never be like you. You shouldn't vent your anger on my second brother either. Even without my second brother, someone like you wouldn't be able to make anything of herself in the Prince's Manor, and it would be impossible for her to stay there forever." 。Although I don't have much of a relationship with Third Highness, his judgment isn't that bad. 。If you truly want to thrive in such a place, the things you should study are not how to wear thinner clothes or apply heavier makeup. Instead, you should start by looking for reasons within yourself. 。If you don't even understand this, even if my second brother wasn't here, when the official wife enters the house in the future, she would still send you all out. 。"It's impossible!" the woman exclaimed, "The King can have many concubines. Even if the legitimate wife enters, she can't control a man taking concubines." 。"Yes, I can't control men taking concubines, but I have the right to vet the quality of the concubines." 。After all, no princess could possibly bear to lose face like this, facing a woman like you all day in the inner courtyard. 。”
He was done, and then looked at those people behind him. One by one, they were all dressed in heavy makeup and showing off their seductive charm. 。She really couldn't understand the three young ladies' happiness. How could they bring women into the house like this, one after another, all with such character's generation. 。Although it's heavy and antique, giving off a sense of luxury, after all these years, it's fairly stable on normal days. But once the ground shakes violently, few can withstand the uph...
