Chapter 73
Qi Tanying stayed at her mother's house for a total of five days. After Madam Qi recovered from her illness, she packed her things and returned to Yan's house.

Unexpectedly, she had to be free, but Yan Li got busy, sometimes she would go out before dawn, and not return until midnight, and it was not uncommon for her not to be home for several days.

The old lady Yan complained in front of her from time to time, saying that Yan Li was so desperate that sooner or later he would burn out.

Yan Li was busy for a month, during which he uncovered a serious case of ink corruption by a courtier, and confiscated 3 taels of silver as evidence of the crime, as well as some jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings.After the silverfish was executed, all its greedy things were filled into the treasury.

As a result, Yan Li was officially appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the prince also gave him a four-entry house in Xingqingfang.

The prince gave it happily, and Yan Li accepted it happily, so it was confirmed that he belonged to the prince's camp.

So on the first day when Yan Li was officially promoted to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the censor impeached the prince for forming a party for personal gain and colluding with courtiers.After reading the impeachment memorial, Emperor Yuanhe summoned the prince directly to Jiaotai Hall.

Knowing that someone impeached him, the prince didn't take it seriously.Yan Li is his man, and he has already passed the bright road with his father.

Emperor Yuanhe glanced at his eldest son, and was so angry that he threw the memorial on the ground and threw it out, "Did I remind you not to make it too obvious? It's good for you, I promoted him in the front foot, and you will send him off in the back foot." A big house, I'm afraid that others will not know your relationship."

The prince stepped forward to pick up the memorial, and said calmly, "Father, please calm down."

Emperor Yuanhe has always been helpless with this son. He looks gentle but actually has his own ideas. If something is determined, he will do everything possible.

If another son were to be the prince, he would have been deposed countless times if he went against him like this.However, he was the only grandson who was brought and taught by his father since he was a child, and he was even asserted by Qin Tianjian that if he was deposed without reason, it would affect Dayong's century-old national fortune.

After Yuan Hedi figured it out, he became angry.

Today he called the prince over, not all because of the impeachment of the prince.Since the investigation of the low-quality timber case of the Tangshan Palace last year, the Tangshan Palace has become an abandoned palace.

The treasury received 3 taels of silver not long ago, and Emperor Yuanhe planned to use the money to rebuild a palace as a new summer resort.

The prince disagreed. It took a very long time to build the palace, and it required a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources. A mere 3 taels was just a drop in the bucket.

"I feel that there is no need to spend a lot of time choosing a site for another construction. It is only necessary to push the houses and palaces that used inferior wood in the Tangshan Palace to rebuild."

The prince didn't know that Emperor Yuanhe once had a nightmare about the collapse of the Tangshan palace.Although what the prince said was very reasonable, he was still determined to choose another site for the building.

For this reason, King Qian and King Yu were specially summoned to ask them who would take over the matter.

King Qian didn't want to get involved at all. After all, his uncle Gui Zhiyao was implicated in the case of inferior wood in the Tangshan Palace, and his uncle Wu Anhou was still punished at home to think about his mistakes, and he didn't know when he would be able to come out.

If he really takes over and builds another palace, if he does well, he will atone for Uncle Yao’s crimes, if he does not do well, Uncle Yao’s previous crimes will be revealed again, and then he, Concubine Shu and Wu An The Hou Mansion will become the target of public criticism again.

King Qian didn't say a word, but King Yu was eager to try and volunteered to take over the task.

Coming out of Jiaotai Hall, King Qian stopped King Yu and asked bluntly, "Brother Erhuang, do you have no money to buy Tuhuo Pill?" He even dared to ask Ying to build a palace, maybe it was because of greed for ink?
King Yu smiled slightly and said: "My brother is serious, brother Yu just wants to share the worries of my father." You work together."

"No need." King Qian glanced at King Yu contemptuously, "After all, this is the first serious errand for the emperor, so I won't argue with the emperor. I hope the errand will go smoothly."

After finishing speaking, regardless of King Yu's expression, he turned and left.

The expression on King Yu's face gradually disappeared, and he stared at his back for a few breaths before leaving.

Le'an Square, Yan's House
The house that the crown prince gave to Yan Li was located at the end of Xingqingfang Street. It used to be the residence of the former minister of the Ministry of Industry.

After changing hands several times, this house became the private property of the prince, and now it is given to Yan Li by the prince.

The layout of the house is very good. There are four entrances in total, which are as follows from south to north: inverted seat—the first entrance—the vertical flower gate—the second entrance—the main room or the hall——the third entrance— ——Main room——Fourth courtyard——Back room.

There are five main rooms in the second entrance courtyard, one side room on each side, seven in total, and three east and west wing rooms.The house here is not an inner house for family members to live in, but is used for discussing affairs, receiving and staying foreign guests.

The open room of the main room is the hall, through which you can enter the third courtyard.The third entrance courtyard is a courtyard that is long and narrow from east to west, and only four or five meters from north to south. The room in the middle is Yan Li's study, and the two rooms on the side are the residences of Du Yu and Yan Wei.

In the middle of the north is the vertical flower door to enter the inner house.After entering the vertical flower gate is the fourth courtyard, which is the inner house.

The main house of the inner house has three fronts and four ears, and there are four east and west wing rooms on both sides and four wing rooms on each side. There are corridors connecting each room.

Although this house is not comparable to the house that the Jiang family lived in for several generations, it can be regarded as a deep house.

The house is well maintained and can be moved in after a simple repair and cleaning.After discussing with Qi Tanying, Yan Li decided to move in on the first day of April.

Mrs. Yan has lived in Yan's house in Le'anfang for 20 years, and she is very reluctant to part with every plant and tree in Yan's house. "A Tan, why don't you and Brother Li go live in the new house, and I'll just stay here."

Qi Tanying said: "Mother, if you don't move, my husband and I won't move either, we will stay with you."

Mrs. Yan waved her hand quickly, "Don't, I'm just joking."

In fact, she knew that no matter whether the prince gave him the house or not, they would have to move sooner or later.The son's official is getting bigger and bigger, and he has to entertain his colleagues every day, so it is somewhat inconvenient to live in Le'anfang.

On the first day of April, the entire Yan family moved into their new house neatly.The second time after moving, Mrs. Qi came to visit her daughter and son-in-law's new home, and she was very satisfied after seeing it.

"The main room of this new house is very spacious. There is room for the Babu bed in your dowry."

It is not without reason that Mrs. Qi said this. The Yan's house in Le'anfang is compact, and Qi Tanying's large dowry is all placed in the newly bought house next door.Among those large dowries was a Babu bed, which was personally made by Qi Heming for his daughter during his lifetime. Yan's house was small, and the Babu bed was never used.

It's good now, the new house is magnificent, and the room is spacious, and it doesn't look crowded at all with a babu bed.

Originally, Mrs. Yan was reluctant to part with the old house, but she was very satisfied after moving in and visiting it. She even teased Qi Tanying and said: "With a big house, seven or eight of him are enough to live in."
