Although Emperor Zhu Yuanwu of Youwu does not love beauty, there is also a queen in the harem, three concubines, seven concubines, sixteen concubines, and hundreds of beauties.

Either from a family of gate lords or from a family of eunuchs, it is not that there are no people from the family of merchants, but the number is pitiful, and the status in this inner palace is even lower.

Only Emperor Youwu went out on patrol in a micro-suit, and he didn't bring any silver on his body, so he was detained by unscrupulous merchants, and waited until Jin Wuwei commanded Fan Sanjiang to bring people to kill, and prepared to kill people with a knife to relieve the emperor's anger.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Youwu Zhu Yuanwu not only stopped Jin Wuwei, but also paid 100,000 taels of gold to the merchant with a pleasant face, but when he returned to the palace, he packed and took away the merchant's second lady, Jin Qiaoshan.

Originally, I thought that the emperor was a fresh, and the daughter of a merchant couldn't become a climate, but she was shocked by the beads in her eyes.

In less than a month, Jin Qiaoshan, the daughter of a businessman, jumped several levels from a talented person to the only Xi Guifei who was the queen, and was envied, jealous and hated by countless beauties in the harem.

For many years after the incident, people were very curious, what happened in the Jin family firm that day, which made Zhu Yuanwu, who had never been a good woman, fall in love with him so much?

It's just that the few people who know about it are tight-lipped and put a seal on their mouths when they sleep at night.

Huang Gonggong, the head of Yanxi Palace, is one of the people in the know, at this time he was guarding the palace gate alone, standing on tiptoe and stretching his neck, his expression was anxious, and his mouth was still chattering: "Why don't you come yet, this is a hurry!"

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and when he saw the figure of the third prince Zhu Houxiao, he hurriedly greeted him: "Ouch, my third highness, how many times has the old slave told you, how many people in this palace are red-eyed, you must not offend people casually, why don't you listen?"

Come with me, Niangniang has a big temper, fortunately, Uncle Guo is here, and he can help you. ”

"Uncle Guo is here, that's good!" Zhu Houxiao was relieved when he heard this, and he walked briskly, and then said a little unconvinced: "Who offended, it's just that a concubine stepped on dog shit and was lucky, if it weren't for the help of his mother over the years, he would be where he is today?"

"Okay, I have a little ancestor, don't say it again, if you let the mother hear it, you won't have to get the family law!" Huang Gonggong was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand, Zhu Houxiao was taken care of by him since he was a child, and he had deep feelings.

"I don't believe it, my mother can still beat my own son for a nephew!" Zhu Houxiao didn't care at all, he felt that his mother had a great favor to Li Wenhao, and she was an aunt.

Even if he did something inappropriate this time, as long as the mother concubine said a word, Li Wenhao would still be honest and obedient.

Entering the gate of Yanxi Palace, Zhu Houxiao was taken aback, Yanxi Palace, which was very clean on weekdays, suddenly became lively.

The palace maids and eunuchs were all festive and busy, the eaves and pillars were draped in red and hung with colors, and the high lanterns were hung, as if they were celebrating the New Year.

What's even more surprising is that you can also see the palace maids of other palaces, holding gift boxes in and out.

"Three calls, what's the situation, is it the birthday of the concubine?" Zhu Houxiao asked curiously.

"Hey, Third Highness, Niangniang's birthday only passed last month, why did you forget?"

Huang Gonggong, nicknamed Huang San, couldn't cry or laugh: "Why else, it's not that the nephew and young master have made the marquis, not only the mothers of the palaces, but also the Huang family, the Xuan family, these ministers, and even the queen have sent people to send congratulatory gifts."

In the past, we didn't have strong reinforcements outside the palace, and how much we suffered, but now it's different, and finally there is a Hou Ye, and we minions feel a lot of hard luck!"

"No... Not really!"

Zhu Houxiao's face was a little embarrassed, and it was only at this time that he realized how important it was to have the support of a powerful marquis outside the palace.

Even these servants and eunuchs knew things, how stupid he must be, he didn't even do it for a while.

The current Li Wenhao is no longer the Li Wenhao who was submissive in front of him, but the Hou Ye who dominates one side, and can give him, and even his mother as a strong support.

"Mother, I know it's wrong!" Zhu Houxiao entered the living room and bowed honestly.

Concubine Xi was dressed in a cyan dress, leaning on a soft collapse, talking to her uncle Jin Mandou, and her every move was luxurious.

"The old minister has seen the Third Highness!" Jin Mandou, the son of the Jin family, was in his fifties, and the eldest group was reunited, and he got up and saluted Zhu Houxiao.

"Uncle is exempt!" Zhu Houxiao returned the salute, very polite, although this uncle has no other skills, but he can make money, he has spent a lot of money for so many years.

"Niangniang, I will send a caravan to Langya when I go back, our old Jin family finally came up with a Hou Ye, and my face as an uncle also has a light, asking for money for money, for grain for food, there is no ambiguity!"

Jin Mandou has been in the shopping mall for many years, and he knows that it is time to go, so he gives his leave.

"It's good that you understand!" Concubine Xi nodded, ignoring her son, and said softly: "Hao'er can be so promising, it is my sister's spirit in the heavens to bless you, you must remember, you have to help more after you go, don't just think about making money." ”

"I know!" Jin Mandou agreed with a fat face, but what he thought in his heart was another thing, how could the Langya area be the starting point for entering the Western Regions trade route, how could it be possible not to make money?

After Jin Mandou left, Zhu Houxiao thought that it should be fine, but as a result, Concubine Xi turned her head, and her face was like a layer of frost, which frightened Zhu Houxiao "Poof," and knelt down: "Mother, I know it's wrong, I'll go and write a letter to Li Wenhao to explain it clearly." ”

"Explain clearly, such a big thing as the marquis, how can you explain it clearly when you help outsiders target your own people?" Concubine Xi's chest rose and fell, and she almost cried when she learned that Li Wenhao was the marquis.

Looking at the scenery in the palace over the years, in fact, she is the only one who knows the sinister behind it, and she has almost been killed several times, and she is walking on thin ice every day.

The reason is not because she was born in a merchant family, and her mother's family has no power or power, so those people will be unscrupulous.

Now it's okay, God has mercy, and there is finally a Hou Ye in the family.

But the baby son played a good hand of cards to a pulp!

"Do you know why these concubines only sent gifts, but no one came to congratulate them in person.

Do you know that before His Majesty went to court, he said that he would come to Yanxi Palace for dinner at noon, but he went to the queen's Fuyuan Palace. ”

"This, isn't this just saying the wrong thing, as for it?" Zhu Houxiao opened his mouth, although he knew that he had done something wrong, he didn't expect that it would have such a big impact, and he looked incredible.

"One word?" Concubine Xi Guifei's face was very ironclad and steely: "A word from the Son of Heaven can ambush millions of corpses, even a sentence from an ordinary person may lead to death, your words today, plus a word from the prince, are likely to make Li Wenhao fall to the prince, do you know?"

"He dares!" Zhu Houxiao was very unconvinced, and stiffened his neck and said: "If it wasn't for the mother's concubine to take care of him all these years, how could he be where he is today."

Besides, Li Wenhao now has no family support, he must rely on his mother to take care of him, and the financial resources of the Jin family, he dares to try disobediently. ”

"Stupid, Li Wenhao beat Daha City, took Langya Wangcheng, and became the Hou Ye, did he rely on the support of the Li family?"

"This, this ......" Zhu Houxiao was dumbfounded, it seems that Li Wenhao did this, and he really didn't rely on any family support.
