The Big Landlord - Chapter 113.2 – Lin Family Matters

Chapter 113.2 – Lin Family Matters

Mei Yu Palace (Beautiful Jade Palace)

When she heard the news, Mei zhao yi’s stunningly beautiful face twisted in a split second. Right in front of the eunuch and the servant girl who were trembling with fear and trepidation, Mei zhao yi angrily swept the tea set on the table to the floor. The tea set broke into many fragments upon the floor.

“The emperor really conferred the title of Yan fei upon that cheap slut*?”

[*T/N: 贱人 jian ren – slut, cheap person, or b*tch]

Mei zhao yi tried hard to make her face look less fierce, but still failed. The formerly gorgeous face was flickering with malicious color. She looked just like a female ghost that had crawled out of the underworld.

The maidservant, Ning Liu, nodded hesitantly, “It’s true. The emperor has already passed the decree this morning and bestowed Zhao Zi Palace (Bright Purple Palace) to Yan fei niang niang*.”

[*T/N: 娘娘 niang niang – a respectful suffix for the empress or imperial concubines.]

Mei zhao yi’s face became more and more distorted. The emperor not only made that cheap slut Yan fei, but also gave her Zhao Zi Palace. This showed how much he valued that slut.

Obviously the title Yan fei and Zhao Zi Palace should be hers!

Mei zhao yi had always thought that both would be in her pocket, but this decree shattered her ambitions.

It was not only her was shocked. Those most respected noble ladies were also alarmed. If it were just the title Yan fei then that would be fine, but Zhao Zi Palace had a great meaning in the harem, and the specific meaning could be seen just from the name of the palace.

Zhao Zi was a homonym for zhao zi*.

[*T/N: 招 zhao – to beckon; 子 zi – son, child]

This decree of the emperor’s clearly showed his extreme favoritism for this Yan fei niang niang. He liked her to the point that he wished for her to give the imperial family a son, an heir. This was an unprecedented favor. What virtues and capabilities did this Yan fei have to actually make the emperor favor her this much?

The whole harem was turbulent because of this decree.

Chong Ming Emperor was unlikely to have any peace in the upcoming period of time because of this, and would not have the time to pay attention to Fu Wu Tian’s whereabouts.

Imperial Cheng Palace

The news that Fu Wu Tian and An Zi Ran left Jun Zi City soon reached Fu Yuan Cheng’s ears. His first impression of An Zi Ran was good, although An Zi Ran was very estranged that day.

“Where are you going?”

The person who told him the news was Zhao Yi. He came to the main door of the Imperial Cheng Palace early in the morning. These two grew up together. After Fu Yuan Cheng’s palace was built, Zhao Yi would come over every so often. His visits were more diligent than anyone else’s.

Zhao Yi replied, “I heard that they’re going back to An Yuan County. An Yuan County is the hometown of Fu wang fei, and the An family business is there.”

Fu Yuan Cheng had also heard of this. Although he did not attend Fu Wu Tian’s wedding reception, he still paid attention to Fu Wu Tian for a period of time because of the military power that he held. He also knew a little about the An family. He, like other people, thought that An Zi Ran was as fat and ugly as rumors said.

Fu Yuan Cheng had sent someone to inquire about An Zi Ran, but at that time, the person that he had sent went directly to An Yuan County to poke around. At that time, An Zi Ran had lost weight, but he was definitely not as slender and handsome as now. This was the real reason for his interest in An Zi Ran.

However, unlike the emperor, he always felt that things could not be so simple. His impression of An Zi Ran was not only that of a fat and ugly person, but also those things he did in An Yuan County, which also impressed him.

Zhao Yi seemed to know what he was thinking, so he stepped forward and whispered something in his ear.

Fu Yuan Cheng smiled suddenly, “Are you sure?”

Zhao Yi nodded. “I also found out that that person is already relying on the first prince’s help.”

“A pity. What a pity!” Fu Yuan Cheng suddenly shook his head and sighed. His tone and voice seemed to have a touch of regret.

Zhao Yi knew what Fu Yuan Cheng felt was a pity. He also felt that it was a waste of opportunity.

After a day and a half, An Zi Ran and Fu Wu Tian finally reached An Yuan County. In order to get to Ali Xiang, they must pass through An Yuan County, but in order to pull the wool over other people’s eyes, they decided to stay in An Yuan County for two days.

The horse carriage stopped in front of the An family’s new house. Steward Su, who had received the news of their return, took Dong Lan and Xia Lan, who were left here by An Zi Ran, to wait by the main door of the new house early in the morning.

Fu Wu Tian lifted the curtain of the horse carriage. He held the two hands that stretched out from the interior of the carriage, and helped the person get off the carriage.
