Underage princes and princes who have not yet opened a palace and are crowned kings can freely enter and leave the harem, but if they want to enter the palace, they must be notified.
But the so-called rules are meant to be broken.
If Ye Yan wants to enter Ninghua Palace, no one will stop him. This is something that Concubine Xian tacitly agrees to.
Ye Yan didn't know this. No one stopped him all the way, so when he entered Ninghua Palace, he walked in directly.
This can be considered an accident.
Ninghua Palace is very big. After arriving here, Mingyu can't lead the way. She can only follow Ye Yan, otherwise she will be convicted of breaking into the palace.
After learning this rule, Ye Yan didn't want to embarrass this timid palace maid too much. He took the lead and walked in front. Although he didn't know the road, he was right to keep walking in.
After walking for a while, he saw several palace maids carrying exquisite copper utensils on their way. The leading palace maid was obviously older.
Ye Yan stopped and waved to several people.
The older palace maid noticed Ye Yan's presence and immediately stopped, turned around and walked towards Ye Yan's location. The palace ladies following her stayed there quietly and waited.
"See His Highness the Seventh Prince." The older palace maid bowed. She was currently the most calm palace maid facing Ye Yan.
Ye Yan nodded subconsciously in response, and then said, "I came to visit my mother-in-law. Where is she now?"
The older palace maid smiled and said, "Your Majesty, she is in the back garden, receiving the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."
Hearing this, Ye Yan was slightly startled and said, "Are the Queen Mother and Brother Huang here too?"
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has returned from his service this time, and the Queen specially brought him to visit the Queen."
At this point, the older palace maid changed the subject and said, "My queen, she has been talking about you, Your Highness, recently. She will definitely be even happier when she sees you soon."
Ye Yan wanted to retreat. He was not prepared to face so many familiar people at once.
But in this situation, he is already riding a tiger and is unable to get off.
If he turns around and leaves now, who knows what rumors will spread in the palace, which is also disrespectful to the Queen.
The most important thing is that he doesn't want his royal brother, whom he has yet to meet, to think too much.
Given the choice between the two, Ye Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and meet a few people.
"Then it's a good time to come today. I haven't seen Brother Huang for a long time, and I have many questions that I want to ask him for."
Ye Yan found a point in the older palace maid's words and followed it.
With the appearance of the older palace maid, Ye Yan no longer needs to worry about finding the way.
Under the guidance of the older palace maid, he walked into the back garden.
As soon as he entered, he saw several people laughing and chatting in the central pavilion.
From their clothes, he could tell their identities at a glance.
Needless to say, the only man who can sit in the pavilion must be the emperor's brother who has returned from meritorious service.
The beautiful woman with a plump figure is the most luxuriously dressed, and she must be the Queen.
Sitting opposite the Queen, wearing a light green palace dress and looking demure and pleasant, she was the main target of his visit this time - Concubine Xian.
After Ye Yan thought for a moment, he quickened his pace, passed the older maids in front, and was the first to enter the pavilion.
"I've met the queen mother, the concubine, and the emperor brother." Ye Yan bowed and saluted.
As the master of the harem, the queen acts as the host wherever she goes, without being a guest.
Taking titles as an example, Ye Yan could only call his biological mother "Mother Concubine", but when he called his biological mother "Queen", he had to call her "Mother Queen".
You know, if there is no queen, the queen mother is actually the title the prince calls his biological mother.
Fortunately, Ye Yan is an online novel author and has done some research in this area, otherwise something would definitely happen here.
The Queen looked at Ye Yan and laughed softly: "Seventh Prince, please sit down and talk. No need to be polite."
Hearing this, Ye Yan sat down.
After he sat down, Concubine Xian on the side said in a reproachful tone: "Yan'er, you are so old, but you are still so impatient in doing things.
If you didn't know that your mother and the imperial brother would be here this time, when would you remember to visit your mother and concubine? "
It was said that he was blaming, but in fact he was saying good things to Ye Yan, defining Ye Yan's purpose of coming to Ninghua Palace this time as coming for his brother and the queen.
Ye Yan is not a fool, he can naturally hear it.
He looked at his imperial brother who had not spoken yet and said, "I haven't seen your imperial brother for a long time, so I left in a hurry."
These words were a bit cheesy, but Ye Yan had already made up his mind and hugged the thigh of his royal brother tightly.
There is no need to be so clear-cut between brothers, and a few compliments are not shabby.
Ye Chen and Ye Yan looked at each other, smiled and said, "Seventh brother, please come to my palace more often to chat."
"That's natural. I have a lot to learn from Brother Huang."
The Queen and Concubine Xian on the side covered their mouths and chuckled when they saw how harmonious the two were.
As the conversation started, the topic gradually turned into a normal daily conversation.
Of course, Ye Yan mainly communicated with Ye Chen. The Queen and Concubine Xian had a tacit understanding of each other for many years.
Occasionally, both parties would get involved in each other's topics and chat for a while.
From the conversation with Ye Chen, Ye Yan had a certain image of Ye Chen in his mind.
In addition to being lucky enough to be adopted by the queen since he was a child, Ye Chen is also very hard-working and self-motivated. He is one of those so-called second-generation rich people that Ye Yan envies, who work harder and are smarter than you.
Logically speaking, Ye Chen is the best candidate for the crown prince. This is a fact recognized by the entire Daqian Dynasty.
Why has there been no crown prince for so long?
Ye Yan didn't mention this topic. In addition to the sensitive topic, he actually made some guesses.
When the emperor wants to have a successor, he also doesn't want to see his successor be too strong.
Ye Chen is so popular that he has the support of the family behind the Queen and Concubine Xian.
Once you become a prince, even an emperor will feel pressure.
To put it bluntly, Ye Chen was suppressed by his father.
At the same time, Ye Yan also felt that there was some intention to put pressure on Ye Chen.
While suppressing, it is also tempering.
This is the emperor's mind.
Ye Yan smiled. He found that he seemed to have become much smarter after coming to this world. He could find the answer to many things immediately if he just thought about it.
He is a street writer, but he can actually guess who will be the emperor.
It was as if he already knew the answer in advance.
At this time, the Queen and Concubine Xian didn't know what topic they were talking about, and the Queen suddenly mentioned Ye Yan.
"The Seventh Prince is about to reach adulthood. Since, Sister Xian, you are unwilling to let him become the king and leave your side, why not arrange a marriage for him among the three ministers?"
Concubine Xian's eyes lit up and she said, "Does the Queen have anyone to recommend?"
The queen thought for a while and said, "Teacher Lin has a daughter named Lin Xianyu. She is extremely beautiful, well-educated, and she is at the age to start a family.
How about I tell the emperor and grant them a marriage? "
Hearing this, Ye Yan's smiling expression suddenly froze, and the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground.
He looked at the queen and said anxiously: "Queen mother, is there another woman named Lin Yuyu in Taifu Lin's house?"
The queen nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, but she is a concubine. Mrs. Lin even said a few days ago that she should come to the palace and follow me. How do you know her, Seventh Prince?"
Ye Yan didn't answer, he was already stupid now.
Ye Chen is the male protagonist and Lin Xianyu is the female protagonist. Lin Ranyu is the female villain who chased him all night and made him sleep restlessly.
Right, everything is right.
Ye Yan looked back at the people and things he had experienced since time travel, and now everything made sense.
This scene in the pavilion in the back garden is clearly the first chapter of the novel he wrote.
"Why did I use my real name to act as a supporting actor in the book?" Ye Yan asked himself.
