Love In The Palace's
Episode 23
Xiao Lie did not bother to see the horrendous behavior of two important women in the empire
Even the emperor also apologized for the attitude of his wife and daughter who were reciprocated by the headband and the sweet smile of Xiao Lie
" I heard recently, you just broke into the Eastland imperial trade market, is that really Miss?"
Xiao Lie who had finished eating turned to the emperor and nodded his head
" Your honor, I also have a formal agreement and several shops there"
" What are you selling there?"
" Today it is only noble clothes and kitchen utensils"
" At this moment, is there any effort you're developing again little lady?" asked the Emperor with a small smile
He was proud that his son could be close to the one and only most influential person in the empire
Even thanks to the trade of the Xiao family, the economy of the Neverland empire was much better
No more unemployment in the capital, not even slaves now almost never existed
Because the Xiao family accommodated and hired them all
With this all the emperors no longer need to worry about the future of his people if it is in the hands of his son
" There is a noble one, currently it is still in the testing stage
If everything is completed, the palace will definitely be the first to get "answer Xiao lie
" Thank you little lady, your work is second to none" the emperor praised with a small laugh
" What's wrong with your face?" the Emperor suddenly asked the sour-faced Xuan Yi
Xuan Yi did not answer his father's question he turned his face away unwilling to look at the father
" What is Gege.....?" xiao Lie asked with a sweet smile
And Xuan Yi's defense collapsed, he could get angry if faced with his girl
" Don't ignore me Lilie"
Xiao Lie chuckled" Sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you Gege"
The moment Xuan Yi was about to reply his mother suddenly interrupted and irritated him again
In his mind he had planned all sorts of ways to monopolize his girl for himself
" Don't mind this ugly boy xiao lie, can you make me a dress too?" ask the empress expectantly
" Of course, your majesty, tomorrow let my officers come to measure your clothes and brother
What noble has chosen his model ?"
The Empress nodded and followed Shan Shan as well
They both showed the model of clothing they wanted
And of course xiao lie wholeheartedly complied with the request of the two
He doesn't even want to receive any payment at all
By late afternoon, Xiao Lie was returning home but was escorted by crown prince Xuan Yi
The emperor and empress did not allow Xiao Lie to go home alone
In the middle of the palace corridor, Xuan Yi and Xiao Lie met the first and second concubines among them, a girl the same age as Shan Shan's daughter
" crown prince greetings" they said in unison
Xuan Yi nodded his head in a sign that he was receiving greetings from them
While the two concubines and the girl in the middle were staring at Xiao Lie with a probing and judging look
Xiao Lie also stared at them, in his mind had planted various ways to eradicate the seedlings of the actors in front of him
Xiao Lie was sure that the girl liked the crown prince when she saw the look in her eyes that was staring full of longs
Actually she is quite beautiful even though not as beautiful as her jiejie, but according to xiao lie her makeup is too excessive
" Who is the little girl next to you, your majesty ?" ask the first concubine named Rong yan
" My girl" replied the crown prince concisely densely and clearly
Especially the girl in front of him
" I've never seen him in a gathering of noble nobles
Is he just a commoner ?" ling Sun asked, second concubine
His tone was gentle, but anyone would understand that he was insulting
" I am indeed not the noble mistress " replied Xiao lie flatly
Rong yan and Ling sun growled in restraining anger hearing the indifferent tone of Xiao lie
" It's worth not having a Krama system, don't you know who is in front of you this is the concubine of the glorious emperor ?" yu Hua asked, the girl that the two concubines carried with a sarcastic tone
" Oh, can we go home now
I'm tired" said Xiao Lie ignoring yu Hua's words
" Of course, let's go home" Xuan Yi replied as he held Xiao Lie's hand and left the group of concubines staring in disbelief at the crown prince's attitude
" Aunty how is this, it seems like the crown prince is taking great care of the commoner ?" yu Hua said to Rong Yan
Rong Yan is the younger sister of the finance minister's wife
And the finance minister has a daughter named Yu Hua
From here the ministers of Yu and Rong yan worked together to match Yu Hua with the crown prince
" be calm, even if the crown prince likes it he will not be able to get the position of crown princess
Didn't you hear yourself, he is just a commoner" said Rong yan to calm his nephew
The second concubine remained silent, as she was not on the crown prince's side
The second concubine had two sons while the first concubine had two daughters
" Well, then does aunt have any plans to bring me closer to the empress
I need to get her blessing so she can help me become the crown princess "
" How about you find the most beautiful gift for Shan Shan's daughter
The empress will be impressed with you if you can please her beloved spoiled daughter" said Rong yan
Rong yan and Ling sun hated the empress very much because she got the throne and the heart of the emperor
Even the emperor greatly loved his sons and daughters and empresses
Although the emperor had tried to be fair, of course, the other two concubines and children still did not feel enough
While on the other hand the horse carriage that Xuan Yi and Xiao Lie rode on was filled with silence
" Are you mad at me Lilie?" xuan Yi asked as he looked at the girl who was looking out the window
xiao Lie did not answer Xuan Yi's question
He was still irritated by the incident in the corridor
Not to mention anything there are already seedlings of actors, especially later if Xuan Yi has become an emperor
" Are you angry at the words of both of my concubines, I will have you punish them
Don't get angry again lilie" whined Xuan while pulling Xiao lie's arm
While Xiao lie was indifferent, he did not get angry at Xuan Yi
It's just that the mood is bad
Due to not getting a response from his girl Xuan Yi pulled Xiao Lie's arm tighter
Until finally Xiao oreng and
Cup.....
