Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 251: Concubine Mei is looking for the reason why she fell out of favor

Concubine Mei had no choice but to say to the Ninth Prince: "You are my confidence. Only if you can surpass the other brothers can I stand firm."

The Ninth Prince was awakened by his mother's words. As a prince, no matter how young he was, he knew what path he would take in the future. He must not panic now. His mother was still the Imperial Concubine. As long as she did her job well, he would be fine.

What he didn't know was that someone had set up this trap specifically. Concubine Mei had stretched her hand too far. She had long controlled the palace, and many of the selected palace maids and concubines were hidden away, which angered many families.

Just like when Imperial Concubine Mei caught a cold and took a few days off, she let Concubine Rong see the Emperor. After a few days of warm conversation with the Emperor, she was promoted to Zhaoyi. Then she was promoted all the way and finally became Imperial Concubine Rong on par with her.

Imperial Concubine Rong's methods were no less than hers. Although she was promoted to the position of Imperial Concubine, she was very respectful to the Empress and often went to greet her. Her relationship with the Empress was much better than hers. She also asked other beauties to dance for the Emperor. This method was very unusual and was supported by some people in the palace.

Mei Guifei knew that she was a bit overbearing, otherwise how could she be favored for so many years. This was also an opportunity given by the emperor to her, otherwise how could she be like this in the palace. She felt that the emperor still loved her, otherwise he would not have favored her for so long.

There must be some reason why he began to ignore her. She also sent a letter to her brother outside the palace, asking him to help her find out what was going on. The emperor would not suddenly like Concubine Rong for no reason, and even if he did, he could not ignore her.

The Ninth Prince's largest property in the capital, Fu Man Lou, has always been a good place for major families to entertain guests. The dishes here are constantly updated and have unique tastes, which makes people unable to stop eating. This also makes many princes envious and jealous, looking at the bustling flow of people every day, all of whom come to give money.

This does not include the Fu Man Lou across the country. The Ninth Prince has made a lot of money in the past two years. He is also the most generous person in the palace, richer than his brothers. This is also on the surface, and there are several brothers who are definitely richer than him.

However, his brothers are not as rich as he is at his age, and the Ninth Prince does not hide it. How can this not arouse jealousy?

Except for the one in his arms and the two immature ones, few of these brothers have their own strength. It's just that the emperor is in his prime, so there won't be any disputes over the throne for a while. Everyone gets along peacefully, and usually only small groups of brothers fight with each other.

The Ninth Prince, a young man, was alone and did not form a group with his brothers. He was unwilling to associate with them. Only now did he realize that he was isolated in the Imperial College and had no brothers to help him.

Now he is not willing to go to class at all. Before, everyone was polite to him, but now it is totally unnecessary. Either no one pays attention to him, or they take the opportunity to ridicule him.

After the Ninth Prince, he took the opportunity to leave the palace and stay in the backyard of Fumanlou. Only here could he feel relaxed. No one was watching him here, and he was in control of everything.

Looking at the account book brought to him by the accountant and seeing the profits on it, he felt very comforted. He had money and this cash cow, which was no better than anything else. Only he knew how much money Fu Man Lou made.

In the past two years, he has not taken money from his mother. The money he earns here is enough for all his expenses. He has also bought several large manors and shops. He has also opened Fu Man Lou all over the country, which can make money and collect and organize information from all over the country.

He didn't know who would take the position in the end, so he should save more money. Who knew what would happen in the future? The prince was not young anymore, so as long as the emperor didn't abdicate, he would have to wait.
