The Enchanting Imperial Concubine (Book 2)

Chapter 400 - The Main Lady

As expected, in the afternoon, Yunxiu went to find the person in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect the supplies.

That person, following Ye Yun's instructions, retaliated with a sharp response.

Yunxiu was furious and scolded him, but there was nothing she could do; they were just following the rules.

After returning, Yi Zhaoyuan was once again infuriated to the point of fainting.

Fortunately, when they came from the palace, they brought along some tea sets and small ornaments; otherwise, Tao Hua Bay would have looked terribly shabby.

However, from now on, she wouldn't dare to smash things recklessly anymore. If she broke something again, she wouldn't even be able to piece together a complete set of teacups.

This is a story for another time, so there's no need to dwell on it. Back to the present, after Nan Zhi left, Ye Yun got up and wandered around the room.

Huiyue supported her and suddenly said, "Now that Your Highness is pregnant, you will surely be a first-rank consort, and it's likely you will have to start handling some affairs of the six palaces."

"The Emperor has long wanted me to take charge. Now that I've reached this position, I can't avoid it," Ye Yun sighed.

It's true that she didn't want to worry, but it's also true that she couldn't afford not to.

"This is inevitable. Your Highness must think a little about the young masters," Huiyue said gently.

When it came to children, Ye Yun remembered something.

"I've been so busy these past few days with the matter of leaving the palace for the garden that I almost forgot the letter my mother sent. Take a look; my mother has picked two good marriage proposals for you and Nan Zhi. See if you're satisfied."

Huiyue's face turned red. "Your Highness is pregnant; this isn't the time for me to think about such matters."

"Once I give birth to the twins, you two will have to get married. If you wait any longer, you'll end up as old maids. Is there anyone who doesn't marry by twenty-four or twenty-five? Go and get it," Ye Yun said with a smile, playfully poking Huiyue's forehead.

Huiyue had no choice but to go get the letter, feeling embarrassed.

Inside, given their differing personalities, different families had been selected for her and Nan Zhi.

The two candidates chosen for Huiyue were one who was three years older and worked in the city guard in the capital; he had previously married.

But that woman had a miscarriage after marrying and fell seriously ill; within a year or two, she passed away.

This man was kind-hearted; for this reason, he didn't take another wife for three years after his deceased wife failed to bear him a son or daughter.

Now that his late wife's family has gone out of town for business, they lost contact, and he finally started seeking a new marriage.

He is an excellent person, with only a father and a married sister at home, living off the court stipend, which is relatively stable.

The other candidate is of the same age as Huiyue; this person comes from a family of farmers and scholars. They are not wealthy, but they have some fields and shops that support the man in his studies.

Unfortunately, this individual lacks talent; now at twenty-five, he hasn't achieved anything notable and is only preparing to settle down and start a family.
