The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl
Chapter 269 The Emperor wants to make Qinghe his imperial concubine!
The guards dragged the eunuch in charge out again, and Xiaofeng was so scared that she trembled all over and dared not speak!
The emperor turned his cold eyes to her again and asked, "What's your name?"
Xiao Feng hurriedly knelt down with a plop and said, "Your Majesty, this servant... is called Xiao Feng..."
The emperor looked at her in confusion and asked, "Why are you shaking all over?"
Xiao Feng lay on the ground, trying her best to control herself from trembling, and replied: "I am... a little scared..."
The emperor suddenly changed his expression and said in a gentle tone: "What are you afraid of? You are different from those servants who bully the inferiors and flatter the superiors. Although you are young, your heart is much better than theirs! For people with conscience like you, I will reward you! From now on, you will be the head maid of Wutong Pavilion, responsible for taking care of Qinghe personally. No matter what she asks for, you should try your best to meet her. You don't have to go back and forth with me!"
Xiao Feng raised her head in panic and reminded carefully: "Your Majesty, I am just a little maid who does rough work. I am several levels lower than the head maid..."
The emperor waved his hand and said impatiently: "If I say you are, then you are! Bow down and thank me!"
Xiao Feng was so frightened that she dared not say anything more and kowtowed, "Yes!"
……
In the bedroom of Wutong Pavilion, the bed curtains are low and the air is filled with fragrance.
Qing He was lying on the bed and dreaming again. She dreamed of the scene when she and her mother parted...
In a luxurious courtyard in Tongcheng, a beautiful lady hurriedly stuffed the bag in her hand to Qinghe and whispered, "Qinghe, hurry up and go through the back garden! Follow those refugees to Yucheng in front. My grandmother and I will rush over to meet you there! Go!" After that, she pushed Qinghe out without giving her time to explain!
The young Qing He had no choice but to leave home crying...
The road was filled with disaster victims and beggars. Although Qinghe changed into simple clothes before leaving home and did not wear any jewelry, those people still looked at her with surprise. Everyone was wondering: In such a chaotic time, how could such a beautiful girl flee alone?
In order to avoid being targeted by bad guys, Qing He had to wrap her head with rags, leaving only her eyes exposed, and changed into ragged clothes. She smeared mud on her hands and face, took a stick as a walking stick, and walked with a hunched back, looking like she had caught a cold. She also coughed from time to time, and at first glance, one would think she was a sickly, frail old lady...
One day she came to the town and wanted to buy something to eat at noon, but she saw people selling children on the roadside. A dozen poor men with dusty faces were kneeling at the foot of the wall. They were all pale and thin, and their clothes were tattered.
Having seen too many scenes like this along the way, Qing He lowered her head and prepared to walk over...
Suddenly, a hoarse voice cried out, "Mom! Mom! What's wrong with you?"
Qing He couldn't help but look to the side: she saw a poor woman with patches all over her body lying on the ground, and next to her was a little girl with a big head and crooked neck, screaming at the top of her lungs, her voice was very piercing!
Qing He didn't want to get involved in this matter, but when she came out of the restaurant after buying food, she couldn't help but give some to the poor mother and daughter.
This made the eyes of those nearby light up!
These people looked at Qing He eagerly, stretched out their dirty hands and said, "Please be kind and give us some, too?"
Qing He was startled and turned to leave, but the little girl with a big head and crooked neck hugged her thigh and said, "Please don't leave! Please save me and my mother!"
Just when Qinghe dreamed of this, she was suddenly awakened!
She opened her eyes blankly, and saw a tall figure sitting in front of the bed, and said in a daze: "Mom..."
The man turned around and asked in a low voice: "Awake?"
Qing He took a closer look at the other person and was surprised to find that this person was actually the emperor!
She was so frightened that she quickly struggled to sit up, huddled in the corner of the bed and looked at him warily...
The emperor smiled faintly and asked gently, "Are you having a nightmare? Why do you keep calling me mother in your dream?"
Qinghe remained silent.
The emperor looked at her frightened expression and said softly, "I have killed all those maids and eunuchs who deceived the emperor! No one will dare to bully you anymore. No matter what you want, you can tell Xiaofeng that I have promoted her to the head maid of Wutong Pavilion."
Qing He raised her head and looked at him, and said softly, "I want to go home."
"What?" The emperor was stunned after hearing this, then frowned and said, "Go home? This will be your home from now on! I plan to make you a concubine..."
Qing He was so frightened that she immediately widened her eyes and repeated: "Royal Concubine?"
The emperor nodded and said, "Well, if you can give birth to a prince or princess for me in the future, then I will make you the queen! And make the child you give birth to the crown prince!"
Qing He was so shocked that she couldn't say a word...
Although the emperor in front of her was handsome, elegant, and well-maintained, he seemed at least older than her father...
Qinghe never thought that she would marry a man old enough to be her grandfather!
She lowered her eyelashes and remained silent.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the emperor thought that she was too happy and didn't react, so he said gently: "I keep my word! Because you are not from Hualu Kingdom, I am afraid that the ministers will oppose you to be the queen... But I plan to do it step by step. First, let the rich businessman Xi Changyuan adopt you as his daughter, and then send you to the palace to be a concubine. After a year, I will make you a concubine. This way, it will be more legitimate...!"
Qing He looked up at this moody tyrant and felt that she might not be able to go back alive and reunite with her mother and grandmother!
……
From then on, the emperor often came to Wutong Pavilion after the morning court.
Because of the bloody example of the palace maids before them, these eunuchs and palace maids were all very obedient and well-behaved later on, and served Qinghe with utmost dedication!
Rumors began to spread in the court that the emperor favored a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old and was planning to make her a concubine...
Only the worry on Qinghe's face grew deeper day by day, and she sat lazily in the porch all day long in a daze.
Xiao Feng secretly asked in confusion: "Miss Yao, don't you want to be a royal concubine?"
Qing He was silent for a moment, then murmured, "I want to go back, back to Shunzhao Country... My mother and grandmother are still waiting for me in Yucheng..."
Xiao Feng sighed and said, "I feel that the emperor will not let you go back... There are so many beauties in the palace, but I have never seen him show special favor to any concubine... Even the most powerful and beautiful Concubine Yun, the emperor has never said that he wants to make her a noble concubine! But he only wants to make you a noble concubine. This favor and deep affection are really rare in the harem..."
Qing He smiled bitterly and shook her head, silently saying in her heart: "No, he is not affectionate to me! He is affectionate to the white moonlight that he loved but could not have in his youth..."
Xiao Feng asked again: "Miss Yao, do you like the emperor?"
I heard a woman's mocking voice not far away: "She is so happy! How could she not like it?"
