Chapter 602

He Ying followed Li Chen's carriage and entered the forbidden area of the palace, which was as majestic as a divine realm, without any obstruction.

When she saw all the powerful and well-armored imperial guards kneeling down to Li Chen in unison, shouting "Welcome back to the palace, Emperor," she covered her mouth abruptly, widened her eyes, and looked at Li Chen, who was indifferent beside her, in disbelief.

Her voice changed: "Ah? Young Master Li, you... you..."

Only then did Li Chen turn his head and smile slightly at her, his tone casual: "That's right, it's just as you thought."

And the beauties from the Eternal Day Empire, Ophelia, Isabella, and others, were even more shocked beyond measure!

They had always thought that Li Chen was a high-ranking big shot of the Holy See, and never expected that he was actually the Emperor of the Tian Ce Empire!

Wengenis held the arm of her beautiful mother-in-law Ophelia, her voice trembling with nervousness: "Mother-in-law, what should we do?"

Ophelia was someone who had experienced storms, so she pretended to be calm and whispered: "Just remember the identity the Young Master gave us. If he is a Holy See personal guard, we are his believers; if he is the Tian Ce Emperor, we are his women. Keep your place, ask less and look more."

Although she was calm on the surface, her slightly trembling fingers exposed the panic in her heart.

However, from these words, one could also see how rich Ophelia's experience was.

In fact, she even thought that because she was blonde and blue-eyed, she was an alien in the Tian Ce palace.

But this belonged to thinking too much. In Li Chen's harem, there were people from various northern tribes, western exotic styles, and eastern sea races.

It's just that there were fewer sea races, and more of the others.

So even if they came in, it would only make other women take another look, and they wouldn't feel any sense of disharmony.

Entering the inner courtyard of the palace, He Ying was still in a dreamlike shock, but she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure—her daughter, Zhu Zhuying, who had already become a Tian Ce imperial concubine!

Zhu Zhuying didn't expect to see her mother here either. Besides surprise, she was also extremely puzzled: "Mother?! Why are you coming back with the Emperor? What happened?"

He Ying was so ashamed that her face turned red. After hesitating for a long time, she explained in a voice like a mosquito: "I am now following the Emperor in cultivation..."

Zhu Zhuying was startled at first, and then immediately understood.

With her mother's appearance and figure, following the Emperor in cultivation, she must have already conducted in-depth cultivation with the Emperor I don't know how many times.

Not only did she not have the slightest resentment, but she also showed a happy smile and hurriedly held her mother's arm affectionately: "So that's it! That's great, Mother! We can be together often in the future! Daughter will arrange a palace for you near mine immediately!"

She was clever and immediately began to arrange a residence for He Ying, arranging it near her own palace, which was convenient for the Emperor and also convenient for mother and daughter to gather.

Hua Rumeng, the Qinglin Empress Dowager, the Empress, and other new sisters were naturally also enthusiastically arranged by Zhu Zhuying in nearby palace gardens.

In this strange environment, having an acquaintance to take care of things was naturally much more convenient.

Thus, a somewhat wonderful scene appeared: Zhu Zhuying, who was a daughter and already a concubine in the palace, was earnestly explaining the rules of the palace, the Emperor's preferences, and the concubines who needed attention to her mother He Ying, who had just entered the palace and was still a bit uneasy.

He Ying was like a well-behaved student, listening carefully and nodding from time to time.

Just as the mother and daughter were talking in low voices and the atmosphere was warm and slightly awkward, Li Chen had already changed into a comfortable and noble casual outfit, walked over with a smile, and naturally stretched out his arms, holding the slender waists of He Ying and Zhu Zhuying, one on each side.

"What are you talking about so earnestly?" he asked with a smile.
