The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Afraid that Shahanhan would be too worried, Yan Muxi explained guiltily, "Don't look for me, my head is not hurt."

"If his head isn't injured, then why doesn't he remember anyone? Could it be that he was too frightened and his brain isn't working properly?" Gu Yuelan was full of worry and confusion.

Yan Muxi: “…”

Facing the other person's silly and pure tearful eyes, she couldn't bear to explain any further.

Well, I was afraid that if I explained it too clearly, I would get beaten up.

The yard was not a place for private conversation. After entering the house and sending the servants away, Yan Muxi picked out what he could say and briefly recounted his experience after encountering the wolf pack.

After being immersed in the deep palace for several years, Gu Yuelan is no longer the naive little girl who knows nothing about the world. She can understand the hardships and helplessness involved without having to explain some things clearly.

After talking about himself, Yan Muxi asked Gu Yuelan, "What about you? What are your other plans for the future?"

Gu Yuelan shook her head. "What plans can I have? Although I haven't fallen to the point of following Yu Jintang and Yan Muqing, I am not free now. I can only count the days in this cage, living one day at a time."

Yan Muxi glanced outside and lowered his voice and said, "I think it's better for you to make plans early while the situation is not tense."

Currently, the Northwest Army is taking advantage of North Vietnam's weakness and marching northward. It has captured nearly half of the cities in North Vietnam, but has not yet made any moves to attack Dafeng.

If Gu Yuelan wants to escape, she can do it as long as she plans properly. If the two sides really come to war, no one in Dingbei Marquis Mansion will escape punishment.

Gu Yuelan was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood what she meant, "I'll think about it carefully."

Madam Gu only cares about Gu Yuelan, her only direct bloodline, so she had already prepared a way out for Gu Yuelan early on. Gu Yuelan was reluctant to leave her grandmother and go far away alone, and was still making a difficult decision.

Seeing that she had a plan, Yan Muxi stopped trying to persuade her, "We haven't seen each other for several years, so we must have a good chat tonight. Just talking is a bit boring, how about having a couple of drinks?"

Gu Yuelan nodded, "Okay! I'll send someone to prepare wine and food. But since we're going to drink, let's not try it lightly or deeply, just drink to our heart's content and don't leave until we're drunk."

Yan Muxi readily agreed, "Okay, I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight."

The so-called "not going home until drunk" seemed too easy for the two of them. Yan Muxi's alcohol tolerance was poor, and Gu Yuelan's was even worse. After three cups, they began to talk nonsense, and sometimes sang a few lines. The two of them chatted about irrelevant things.

From how big and blue the sea is, to how green and vast the grassland is, to how beautiful the small bridges and flowing water in the Jiangnan water village are...

It was almost dawn when Yan Muxi was carried back to the mansion by Dong Yu.

Naturally, everything that happened in Yan Mansion and Dingbei Marquis Mansion could not be hidden from Yu Jinzhou's eyes and ears.

Upon learning that Yan Muxi had climbed over the wall to the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion to drink and had been drinking all night while he himself had been busy with government affairs all night, Yu Jinzhou felt angry and indignant at first, but after he had calmed down, he felt extremely itchy.

He couldn't wait to see what she looked like when she was drunk. Would she be more beautiful with a blush on her face than usual?

Three days later, knowing that Yan Muxi had gone to drink with Gu Yuelan again, Yu Jinzhou took advantage of the short break before the grand court meeting and broke into Jinyuyuan again, and saw the drunk beauty as he wished.

Yan Muxi's drunken appearance was very different from what he had imagined. Her hair was askew and messy, and she was lying in a rather casual position. To be exact, she didn't look very good, but he just thought she was inexplicably cute and wanted to hold her in his arms to coax her and knead her.

But thinking of his previous plan, he held back and just looked a few more times before leaving the room.

After that, every few days, Yan Muxi would go to Gu Yuelan to drink and chat. As they drank and talked, a hundred days seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye.

On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the imperial court issued an edict to select women to fill the harem on the grounds that the new emperor had no children. All the daughters of officials who met the requirements were not allowed to marry during the election period.

On the same day, the imperial edict of enthronement also arrived at Yan's residence.

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: The Qian family has served the country with great integrity and deserves to be rewarded. Qian Sanniang, the daughter of the Qian family, is dignified, intelligent, and beautiful. She is hereby canonized as a concubine and given the title Yan. Concubine Yan is to enter the palace on a chosen day without delay. I decree this."

Everyone in the Yan Mansion had returned to Luodu three days ago, and Yan Yongchen led everyone in the mansion to accept the imperial edict.

After the eunuch finished reading out the imperial edict, Yan Muxi could hardly suppress the sneer in his eyes.

What a beautiful face! Yu Jinzhou canonized her as Consort Yan, and he wanted to announce to the world that she was the second daughter of the Yan family and the first wife of the King of Dingbei.

Qian Manman's body tilted, but Yan Yongchen who was standing beside her supported her in time, so she did not collapse to the ground.

Qian Manman suppressed her grief and anger as she sent the eunuch away. She collapsed again. She looked at her daughter with tearful eyes and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she didn't know what to say.

I thought that the emperor's death would bring about a turning point in my daughter's entry into the palace, but in the end, my daughter still had to enter the palace. Once she entered the deep inner court, I was afraid that she would never be able to leave in this life.

Fortunately, this was her second experience, and Qian Manman's grief and anger soon subsided. Knowing that she was powerless to change it, she forced herself to cheer up and help Yan Muxi prepare the items for entering the palace.

There was no need to go through a grand ceremony to welcome a concubine into the palace. She could just be carried into the palace on an auspicious day and time chosen by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department.

On the third day after the imperial edict was issued, Yan Muxi was welcomed into the palace with great ceremony in a five-wheel-drive carriage arranged by the Ministry of Rites.

Because she was a concubine, Yan Muxi did not need to wait until she had slept with the queen before paying her respects. The sooner she went, the more respect she could show.

Therefore, as soon as Yan Muxi entered the palace, he took Yu Shui to the Queen's Changchun Palace to pay his respects.

When the concubines in other palaces received the news, they all gathered in Changchun Palace to wait for a glimpse of Concubine Yan's beauty.

There are only five concubines in Yu Jinzhou's harem except Yan Muwan who has been crowned queen.

The highest ranking ones were Consort De, Consort Xian and Consort Jia, all three of them were noble ladies, their mothers either held military power or had a seat in the court. The other two were of humble origins and were given the title of Talented Lady.

If you think about it carefully, Yan Muwan's birth as a concubine's daughter is actually not as good as the legitimate daughters of noble families of Concubine De and the other two.

And that was indeed the fact. Several people looked down on Yan Muwan from the bottom of their hearts and did not take the so-called descendant of a country into their eyes at all, especially the virtuous concubine who came from the Dingnan Marquis Mansion. She was too lazy to even show her appearance to Yan Muwan on weekdays.

As early as when she learned that Yan Muwan's cousin from her mother's side was also going to enter the palace as a concubine, Concubine Xian had already played tricks on Yan Muwan several times, both openly and covertly. She had already thought of a plan and was waiting for the day when Concubine Yan entered the palace to teach the two sisters a lesson.

But when she saw the stunning beauty approaching her with her own eyes, Concubine Xian was stunned and forgot all the plans she had made before.

Not only Concubine Xian was stunned, but several other concubines also stared with their eyes wide open.

The beauty who caught the eye was wearing a peach-colored palace dress with dark patterns. She had her hair tied up in a flying bun. Her skin was as white as cream, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, her nose was delicate and her lips were red. Her pretty face was only the size of a palm. She walked towards them gracefully, like a flower fairy descended to the earth, charming and boneless, and extremely beautiful.
