Chapter 69: An Emperor Explains the Origin of His Male Concubine

As for Xie Chuyue, Emperor Mingde personally sent her to Changle Palace.

The palace maids and guards were frightened again. How come they didn't know when the little princess went out? Shouldn't the little princess be so scary?

But the Mingde Emperor and Empress who were traveling with them all bowed together, "Your servants, your servants, pay their respects to the Emperor."

Emperor Mingde raised his hand and followed Xie Chuyue in.

Xie Chuyue originally thought that Emperor Mingde would leave after sending her there, but Emperor Mingde sat on a stool beside her and showed no intention of leaving.

"Father, do you have anything else to say? If not, please go back and have a rest early." Xie Chuyue felt uneasy when Emperor Mingde stared at her. She didn't do anything bad, but she just felt a little guilty.

After much deliberation, Emperor Mingde decided that it was necessary to say something.

So he sighed, cleared his throat, and then explained to Xie Chuyue, "This Lu Mingyue is a man, Yue'er should stay away from him from now on."

Xie Chuyue showed a shocked expression on her face, but she said to the system in her heart: [Why did Father tell me this? Are you trying to confess to me? This is totally unnecessary. ]

Emperor Mingde: It is necessary, necessary, very necessary, I will not explain it to you clearly. Tomorrow the whole capital will know that I have taken a male concubine.

This statement also confused the system, [Host, is there a possibility that your father simply doesn't want men to get close to you? ]

Xie Chuyue also nodded in understanding. So far, this was the only reason that could convince people.

"Father, are you taking a male concubine?" Xie Chuyue asked with a shocked expression.

Emperor Mingde: “………………”

What should he say? No matter how I put it, it was wrong. I didn't want to favor those women in the harem, so I found a safe place for myself. How could I tell my daughter about my sexual life?

If he said that he really had a male concubine, this little girl would probably treat it as a joke and tell it to the people in the court.

Finally, a certain emperor thought of a clever idea and started to make up a lie, "Yuer, this Lu Mingyue is a man's affair, Yueer, you must keep it a secret, he is your father's best friend. This time he was in trouble and was hunted by his enemies, and there was no way to hide, so he could pretend to be a concubine and enter the palace. I hope your father can protect you.

After all, he is my best friend, so my father kept him. Whenever he was upset, he would stay in his yard for a night, and we would chat to relieve his boredom.

We are close friends, brothers. If a brother is in trouble, father, you have to help him, right?"

Xie Chuyue looked so obedient and serious when listening to this.

I kept complaining in my heart, saying, "What a high-sounding thing to say. It was clearly a male concubine that I had no intention of marrying.

But speaking of the statement of summoning the emperor, it should be that nothing happened between her and the man, but why did the man say that he wanted to sleep with her? Was it for his position in the harem? 】

Emperor Mingde was so angry when he heard the first half of the sentence that his brain was congested. He gradually calmed down after hearing the second half. This girl is not that stupid.

System: [Host, you know what? Maybe they are just innocent and just want to drink tea and chat at night. In fact, every emperor has the thought of not wanting to sleep with the emperor. After all, who wants to struggle every day to pass on their family line? ]

Xie Chuyue: [What you said makes sense, so father doesn't want to favor those concubines, so he rests in Lu Mingyue's courtyard? ]

System: [Yes, host! ]

Emperor Mingde: ………No one knows a father better than his daughter. His daughter is really his sweet little cotton-padded jacket, caring but also warm and thoughtful.

After Xie Chuyue figured it out, she nodded seriously, "So he is your father's best friend. I understand. From now on, I will never cause trouble for him, nor will I say a word about him. Don't worry, father."

After hearing his daughter's satisfactory answer, Emperor Mingde finally relaxed. "Then Yue'er, please rest early. You still have to attend the morning court tomorrow. Your Majesty will go back first."

Xie Chuyue nodded, "Your Highness, I respectfully send you off."

After the emperor left, Xie Chuyue returned to her bedroom and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, a strange wind blew throughout the capital city.

The underwear of the courtesan in Piaoxiangyuan is actually sold at a high price? The young masters in the capital are selling them at high prices.

This thing was being sold like hot cakes at takeout, and of course, the news soon reached Xie Yunshen's ears.

Xie Yunshen didn't think much of it at first. Just taking a few pieces of underwear, did he think they were his? No one could take his clothes.

But when he accidentally caught a glimpse of the bellyband on the stage, his eyes widened in horror. Is this true?

He couldn't believe it, so he ran back home quickly, then ran into his yard to look around. Nothing was missing, so he went to his secret passage.

When he opened the closet, he found that many of his clothes were gone. He must have been robbed.

After that he looked around again and found that a lot of things were missing, but they were not very obvious. Wow, his silver, ahhh, the silver he earned with great difficulty was stolen again. It’s okay if you stole the silver, after all, it’s normal, but why did you also steal underwear, panties, bellybands and other undergarments? Is this thief a pervert?

Originally, Xie Yunshen planned to buy back those clothes, but the prices were too high and he couldn't bring himself to buy them, so he decided to go to a clothing shop and order a few pieces custom-made.

The prices have been driven up so high that he can buy hundreds of them, so he has to learn to be frugal.

After Xie Yunshen had prepared everything, he returned to his house and began to study mechanisms and locks, and decided to lock up his own small treasury.

Meanwhile, poor Xie Chuyue was being impeached in the court for a while.

It was rare for her not to gossip with the system, but to impeach all those who impeached her. After all, she had all the evidence against them.

In the end, everyone in the court was silent and kept away from Xie Chuyue. If they couldn't afford to provoke them, they could at least avoid them.

The emperor also allowed Xie Chuyue to do what he wanted. This group of people deserved to be punished. From time to time, he would let his daughters out to fight against them for a while, and they would behave themselves.

After the court session, Xie Chuyue wanted to go out and see how much money he had earned, but Emperor Mingde pulled him into the imperial study and asked him to review memorials. Xie Chuyue cursed in his heart.

She reviewed memorials? What the hell was she reviewing? She was not a king, not a prince, not a crown prince, but just a 14-year-old kid.

His Majesty the Emperor felt so happy when he heard someone talking.

"Chun Yang, as long as you approve these memorials, your father will increase your monthly salary."

Hearing that she could get silver, Xie Chuyue almost jumped up. "Father, do you mean that you will give me a little more from my monthly salary?"

"Yes, I am a gentleman and my words are as good as gold!"

Xie Chuyue nodded, smiling heartily, and looked at the memorial in front of her with a bit more familiarity.
