Chapter 1000: Reasons (2)Chu Yue was stunned.


    This piece of news… was not spread at all.


    And it was also the truth that the current Emperor was someone who liked beauty and gathered a lot of them in his harem. The position of Empress was not exactly strong as she couldn''t really control the Emperor''s demand.


    What she could do was to make sure that everyone followed the basic rules while enduring the humiliation.


    But it didn''t mean that she didn''t have any power at all. If her family was bullied and sheined to the Emperor, the Emperor would still take the matter into his hand. How could he stay still when his woman is bullied?


    He would be a joke.


    Even if it was only for the sake of his appearance, he would still make a move to help his Empress''s family.


    This was why the Empress'' family was doing quite well so far.


    "That means…"


    "This is why the guards are more tolerant to Chi Song Hui more than others. If he had wanted to, he could have changed his surname to Jian." Nan Hua dried her hair. She wanted to rest, so naturally she had to dry her hair first or she would fall sick.


    Jian was the surname of Zhang Xu Kingdom''s Empress.


    It was also because Chi Song Hui''s mother was the Empress'' sister that she could raise Chi Song Hui in Zhang Xu Kingdom. When General Chi lost the war and then exiled, he was originally nning on bringing both of his sons.


    But Chi Song Hui''s mother refused.


    With the help of the Empress, Chi Song Hui could stay in Zhang Xu Kingdom with his mother while Chi Song Lian followed his father. Ever since that time, the two brothers be sworn enemies.


    They hated each other.


    One followed the mother and one followed the father.


    "I see…" Chu Yue didn''t know that there was actually so much drama behind General Chi''s decision to move to Fei Yang Kingdom. And considering that Fei Yang Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom has been enemies for decades, it was quite something for General Chi to pick Fei Yang Kingdom.


    He could have chosen other kingdoms.


    But he still chose Fei Yang Kingdom.


    Probably one of the reasons was because Fei Yang Kingdom was Zhang Xu Kingdom''s bitter enemies. General Chi wanted to prove in front of those people that when he was with the enemy, he could win.


    The one who was weak was not him.


    But of course, that was nothing more than spection.


    "Have some rest." Nan Hua looked at Chu Yue. "Tomorrow''s journey will be a long one."


    "Yes, Miss."


    Chu Yue curtsied and then walked out of the room. Even though Nan Hua was assuming the identity of a mere embroidery girl, there was no way Chu Yue could treat Nan Hua as if she was nothing more than an ordinary girl.


    She would still treat her with extreme politeness as she should be.


    …

    "You actually want to take amoner girl to follow us to the Capital City?" Chi Song Hui''s mother was dissatisfied when she heard her son''s words. "Have you lost your mind, Song Hui?"


    "I''m not, Mother." Chi Song Hui pursed his lips. "I''m not talking nonsense but it''s actually a business opportunity. The embroidery had been very poprtely and I have asked to get a percentage of the profit by allowing them to start the business in the Capital City."


    After that, Chi Song Hui exined the details that he had discussed with Madam Han.


    Chi Song Hui''s mother was still feeling dissatisfied when she heard what her son had agreed upon. Though, she had to admit that this model was really good and captivating. Many other nobility was also using simr designtely because of how novel it was.


    She frowned.


    "Your Aunt wouldn''t be too happy if you bring amoner to her banquet."


    Chi Song Hui was stunned. He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. "Mother knows that I''m nning to bring her to the banquet?"


    In order to celebrate the Empress'' birthday, there was yearly banquet in the Capital City. It invited almost all women of nobility in the Capital City, which numbered in hundreds. This was the onlyrge banquet for women in Zhang Xu Kingdom that was personally approved by the Emperor.


    The Empress was happy because this was the chance for her to show her power.


    And other women were happy because they could use this chance to interact with other women whom they couldn''t interact with before.


    Normally there wouldn''t be anymoner.


    There was only some exception when they brought their servants alone.


    But this time, Chi Song Hui actually wanted to bring amoner who was unrted to him to the banquet.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll settle that first." Chi Song Hui pursed his lips.


    Chi Song Hui''s mother looked at Chi Song Hui for a moment before sighing. She waved her hand, indicating that she wanted to rest.


    Chi Song Hui cupped his fist and retreated.


    After Chi Song Hui had left, Chi Song Hui''s mother furrowed her eyebrows. This was not the first time her son asked to bring a woman to his aunt''s banquet. But everyone has been rejecting him from time to time.


    And the fact that Chi Song Hui would always look for women was something that everyone knew.


    There was even an incident where he was dragged out of the Red District after staying there for two nights. And Chi Song Hui''s mother was so ashamed that she punished her son severely.


    But in the end, she couldn''t bring herself to punish him that badly.


    "Do some investigation of this embroidery girl. I can''t allow my son to cause another mess after what he had done."


    "Yes, Madam Jian."


    Chi Song Hui''s mother, Madam Jian, took the teacup and sipped it slowly. She would never forgive anyone who dared to harm her son.
