Chapter 68: As the saying goes, when one person attains the Dao, their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!

Li Sining thought these words would make Chu Ruoyan feel ashamed.

Who knew Chu Ruoyan would ask even more outrageously: "What did I say last night? Why don't I remember? Can you repeat it?"

She had a kind of small obsession that made people stunned; she really wanted to know what she had said.

Li Sining was stunned on the spot; you still have the nerve to ask me?

The dirty words you said last night—are those things I can say!

And most of them were modal particles; how do you want me to say them!

Actually, Li Sining wronged Chu Ruoyan; at that time, Chu Ruoyan's consciousness wasn't very clear, so how would she know what she had said.

They weren't meeting for the first time, and now with the intimate status of Li Chen, they could naturally chat together.

The two beauties of the capital chatted like this in Li Chen's bedchamber.

If other young talents in the capital saw this, they would all shed tears.

Usually, just seeing these two once would make them happy for several days.

Many young talents dreamed of just seeing them one more time.

But their dreams were Li Chen's daily life.

"Sister, you are truly amazing; in just five days, you have already strengthened ten major meridians."

As a disciple of a cultivation family, Chu Ruoyan felt Li Sining's cultivation speed was truly terrifying.

If this news were released, it would probably cause a huge uproar in the bottom-level cultivation circle of the capital.

"Sister-in-law, don't comfort me; my brother said my speed belongs to the middle-lower level in our May Tian Ce Dynasty; just practice for fun, don't take it seriously."

Li Sining naturally believed Li Chen's words unconditionally, feeling that she was just a cultivator as ordinary as could be.

Chu Ruoyan was just about to explain, but thinking that Li Chen was already in the Sage Realm at such an age, if according to his standards, Li Sining indeed didn't count for much.

Seeming to remember something, Chu Ruoyan asked Li Sining what the process was after entering the palace.

Li Sining was a Princess and had received education in this area since childhood, so she told her that if she could move freely today, it would be best to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, as the Empress Dowager had a very high status in the harem.

Then there was organizing her own palace, which was so-called decoration.

A formal concubine certainly had a set of rooms.

There were many empty palaces in the Imperial Palace; Chu Ruoyan was the first to come, not only favored by Li Chen but also recommended by the Empress Dowager, so she was well-connected on both sides and could mostly choose for herself.

This made Chu Ruoyan very happy; her family used to be near the outside of the third ring of the capital, which was already considered quite good in the aristocratic circle.

It was only because of the relationship with the Empress Dowager's nephew that they had the qualifications to settle down in the third ring.

So for so many years, the Chu family had been working for the Empress Dowager's nephew.

Properties in the first and second rings couldn't be bought just with money; one also needed status and position.

At the very least, one had to be a first-class aristocratic family, or have someone in the family with a certain status in the court, to be able to live in the second ring.

As for the first ring, besides shops, they were basically imperial relatives and powerful ministers of the court.

Without some hard strength, there was no way to settle down in such a place.

The Chu family head's dream was to let the Chu family enter the second ring; then, looking at the family history of the Chu family, he could be considered to have made a great contribution.

But now, because of Chu Ruoyan, they skipped the second ring directly and entered the first ring circle of the capital.

Because when the news of Li Chen conferring Chu Ruoyan as an Imperial Concubine spread, the rewards for their family naturally came down.

This was the tradition of the imperial family, and Li Chen was also very generous, letting Eunuch Cui choose a mansion for the Chu family in a better area of the first ring.

In this first ring where every inch of land was worth an inch of gold, the Chu family mansion was ten times larger than the previous mansion!

This showed Li Chen's favor for Chu Ruoyan and his deep love for the Chu family.

The Chu family head moved in that very night; he carefully inspected every area of the new mansion, his heart so excited he couldn't sleep.

That night, he was planning to hold a big banquet.

He would invite everyone he knew from all over the world.

The purpose was to show off to them.

Let them see what the first ring of the capital is!

On the second day of Chu Ruoyan's conferment, the Chu family head had already started listing the names for the "Great Joy of Moving."

It would be best if he could invite Li Chen, this Emperor, but the Chu family head felt this was just an unrealistic idea; His Majesty was so busy, where would he have time to come.

If he really came, wouldn't the Chu family head be excited to death.

The first name on his list was Li Chen; he would let his own daughter ask casually. Anyway, he felt Chu Ruoyan would definitely come; after all, this was a happy event for her maiden family.

As she appeared as an Imperial Concubine, she was naturally a heavyweight.

The names behind were naturally the Empress Dowager's nephew and other great nobles he knew in the capital.

Before, the Chu family head had to bow and scrape when seeing them; these were all big shots he had to climb up to.

Now, when these people saw the Chu family head, they all had to call him Brother Chu.

Just by relying on the relationship between his daughter and Li Chen, the Chu family head could directly say he was ranked in the capital.

Because the entire relationship circle of the capital now centered on Li Chen.

It was just looking at who was closer to Li Chen.

The closer to Li Chen, the higher the status in the capital.

Chu Ruoyan's relationship with Li Chen now was more than just close distance; it was basically negative distance contact.

So even the imperial family with pure blood didn't dare to offend Chu Ruoyan.

!

It's just that Chu Ruoyan's mind was full of Li Chen now, and she didn't consider developing in other directions.

After listening to Li Sining's explanation, Chu Ruoyan was very excited.

But this was the center of the first ring of the capital.

Being able to have a house here was simply something she could only dream of.

Li Sining knew there were many relatively large palaces in the palace and could take Chu Ruoyan to see them.

But Chu Ruoyan was very smart; what was the use of being big? Only by being closer to Li Chen was there more value.

So she chose a relatively good palace nearby as her bedchamber.

This way, when Li Chen wanted to sleep with her, she could come over faster.

And this place was originally near Li Chen's bedchamber; she could wander around here from time to time, which was very reasonable.

Seeing the location Chu Ruoyan chose, Li Sining gave a thumbs up.

After choosing the palace, the next step was the configuration of palace maids.

As the saying goes, when one person attains the Dao, their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

The maids in Chu Ruoyan's family were all looking forward to entering the palace.

According to the harem's rules and regulations, a concubine could choose two maids with clean backgrounds to enter the palace.

These two maids were equivalent to having an official establishment, which was something countless people dreamed of.

Don't underestimate this establishment, because these two were the Imperial Concubine's personal maids.

Other palace maids were arranged by the palace.

Palace maids naturally didn't have much in the Imperial Palace, just doing some miscellaneous work.

But walking out of the Imperial Palace, some small officials with power had to bow when they saw them.

This was no joke.

Because small officials couldn't see the Emperor, but they could.

According to the status theory centered on Li Chen, the status of Chu Ruoyan's palace maids was naturally high.

If anyone dared to offend them, they would go to Chu Ruoyan to complain, and if Chu Ruoyan told Li Chen, wouldn't the small official be unlucky.

Sometimes Chu Ruoyan didn't even need to tell Li Chen; her status could make many powerful figures help.

These powerful figures needed a favor from a concubine like Chu Ruoyan.

Later, if they offended the Emperor somewhere, or if the May Tian Ce Dynasty had any good policies, they could let Chu Ruoyan put in a good word.

Many people didn't intend to offend Li Chen, but they also had to be prepared to please Li Chen.
