Ye Chenchen knew that Mi Chong was a playful person and found it difficult to stay quietly in one place, so he did not blame Mi Chong too much for his hurried behavior. However, in two days, the Queen Mother (Empress Dowager Chen) would be here.

It was his birthday, and since Mi Chong returned to the Imperial City at this time, he should pay his respects to his mother on her birthday before leaving. Otherwise, he would easily be criticized.

There is another reason. Although Ye Chenchen is a domineering person, he is also a very filial person. When dealing with his biological mother, Queen Mother Chen, Ye Chenchen tried to be tolerant in other aspects except absolutely prohibiting her from interfering in government affairs.

Mi Chong has already been included in the royal genealogy as the Zhengyin Queen. Although it has not been announced to the public yet, that is because the time is not yet ripe. Ye Chenchen knows that his mother and Mi Chong are not on good terms, although he does not expect that through this birthday banquet, the two of them will be together.

People can shake hands and talk happily, but they also hope that the relationship between the two can be eased.

Ye Chenchen looked at Mi Chong seriously and said, "Just stay by my side obediently for the past two days, and accompany me to attend my mother's birthday banquet in two days."

As soon as Mi Chong heard the name of Empress Dowager Chen, she felt a headache. This person had a strong desire for power and control, but his IQ and ambition were obviously inconsistent. If it were anyone else, he would have died in the brutal battle in the harem. However,

, with the protection of the emperor's biological mother, she can dominate the harem.

If possible, Mi Chong would not want to deal with the Empress Dowager Chen at all. This kind of person is best at making nonsense and has no reason at all. The most powerless thing is that because she is the emperor's biological mother, no matter what she did in the harem

Anything that goes too far will end up being nothing, and the people she hurts can only consider themselves unlucky. This feeling of being able to only defend and not be able to fight back makes Mi Chong feel uncomfortable all over.

However, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, Mi Chong had no choice but to go to the birthday banquet. On the one hand, Queen Mother Chen was Ye Chenchen's mother after all. Since she had followed Ye Chenchen, she still had to show her basic filial piety.

There should be; on the other hand, Mi Chong was also Ye Chenchen's personal title to Princess Lan. During the Empress Dowager's birthday, she would be considered disrespectful if she did not go to the Imperial City to pay her respects.

On the day of Empress Dowager Chen's birthday, Mi Chong was supposed to arrive early to wait. However, she, who had been with Ye Chenchen all day long, did not arrive at the birthday banquet with Ye Chenchen until the last moment.

Because it was not a birthday banquet, Ye Chenchen did not invite officials and ladies from the Imperial City to attend. It was just a gathering of the royal family members in the Imperial City, which was equivalent to a royal family banquet.

Ye Chenchen's harem was really huge. Although Mi Chong had found excuses to clean up dozens of high-ranking concubines before, and implicated more than 10,000 ordinary palace people. But only four or five years later, the size of Ye Chenchen's harem became even bigger.

It has grown stronger, and many of them are seen for the first time.

When Mi Chong first entered the Chen Kingdom Palace as a palace maid, Ye Chenchen's harem numbered 17,000 people. Later, after several years of development, it quickly grew to more than 40,000 people. The last time Mi Chong cleaned it out

After one time, the number of people finally dropped to less than 30,000. But judging from today's situation, Mi Chong estimates that the number of people in Ye Chenchen's harem has once again exceeded the 40,000 mark.

Although he keeps reminding himself that this is just a number, Ye Chenchen only has himself in his heart. But no matter how generous a person is, he cannot remain indifferent to this situation.

Seeing that Mi Chong was unhappy, Ye Chenchen naturally knew what she was thinking. However, the imperial domineering attitude he had developed over a long period of time made him unwilling to explain anything, so he just silently pulled Mi Chong and sat down on the podium.

There are only three tables in total on the stage, and Ye Chenchen's position is naturally at the top. The two tables immediately below, Prince Ye Xi sits on the left, and the one on the right is empty. It belongs to today's birthday girl, Queen Mother Chen.

After Ye Chenchen and Mi Chong sat down, everyone present knelt down and worshiped under the leadership of Prince Ye Xi.

Ye Xi did not bring any of his concubines to the birthday banquet. After saluting his father, he glanced at Queen Mi Chong with a complicated expression, lowered his head silently, then sat down and began to drink wine.

After everyone saluted Ye Chenchen, Mi Chong was jealous and whispered in Ye Chenchen's ear: "Congratulations to the emperor, the harem has grown again. I don't know many people here. Why don't you introduce them to me?"

Ye Chenchen smiled bitterly and said: "You know, Chong'er, that I can't help myself most of the time. There are many people here, not to mention you don't know them, even I don't know them."

Mi Chong: "No way. Some of the women who have seats in this harem have their own titles. How could you not recognize them, Your Majesty? Didn't you personally canonize them?"

Ye Chenchen smiled and said: "You are really right. A large part of these concubines are really not canonized by me. Look at these concubines, are they clearly divided into four parts? This is the current politics of the harem.
