Rebirth: The Two-Faced Cook Meets the Cold-Faced King Qin

On the day of the re-examination for the imperial concubine selection, the morning light was just breaking, and the golden sunlight shone through the gauze-like clouds, spreading to every corner of the palace☆

It seemed as if even the heavy palace walls were covered with a thin layer of golden gauze☆

Su Qianqian got up early. Even though she didn't want to marry Ye Hanxing, in this dynasty, she could only obey first, and then she would find another way☆

She was wearing a light pink long dress, the hem of the skirt swaying gently☆

A ribbon of the same color is tied around her waist, outlining her slender waist☆

The skirt is embroidered with delicate plum blossom patterns, each of which is lifelike☆

Su Qianqian's hair was carefully combed into a flowing bun☆

A jasper hairpin in her hair made her face look even more beautiful☆

She lightly applied a light rouge and a touch of vermilion on her lips☆

Her lips are red and her teeth are white, which makes her look more beautiful. Her eyes are as clear as water☆

It seems to be able to see into people's hearts, and it seems to hide endless stories and deep feelings☆

Su Qianqian slowly walked into the re-examination hall. Her figure was even more glittering against the golden sunlight☆

Ye Hanxing, this name is just like him, cold and profound. He stood there quietly, his eyes as sharp as torches☆

Watching Su Qianqian intently as she walked into the hall step by step☆

Ye Hanxing's eyes moved along with Su Qianqian's movements☆

His eyes were deep and burning, as if he wanted to see through everything about her☆

The gaze of Concubine Yao was like a sharp icicle in winter, piercing and cold☆

She stared at Su Qianqian, her pupils shrank into a thin line, as if she wanted to pierce through Su Qianqian's soul☆

The corner of Yaopin's mouth curled up into a cold smile, which was filled with endless viciousness and sinisterness☆

Her eyes wandered back and forth on Su Qianqian☆

Under this vicious gaze, Su Qianqian felt an unprecedented sense of oppression☆

It was as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe☆

Gu Peng and Gu Yuan chose to guard her silently☆

Although this kind of protection is not ostentatious, it is full of deep emotions and firm determination☆

In the hall of the re-examination, the atmosphere was frozen and then broken☆

It's all because of the "outstanding" performance of Su Qianqian, the daughter of the prime minister and a "painting genius"☆

Su Qianqian stood in front of the easel, thinking: "I don't know how to draw. I had to force myself to learn the dance last time. Never mind, let's just do it this way!"☆

The brush in her hand seemed to have self-awareness and just didn't go in the direction she expected☆

Every stroke seemed to be a merciless mockery of her painting skills☆

"Time to start painting." The voice of the eunuch beside the emperor sounded like a death warrant to Su Qianqian☆

The air around her seemed to be watching the show, quietly waiting for her "masterpiece" to come out☆

The brush is freely swiped on the canvas, but the result is - well, it can only be said to be unique☆

Just as everyone was trying to hold back their laughter and their eyes wandered between Su Qianqian and her "work",

Yaopin walked over with a graceful step. She looked up and down at Su Qianqian's painting, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Oh," Yaopin deliberately raised her voice to ensure that everyone present could hear her words clearly☆

"Suning, what is this painting of yours? Is it a landscape? Flowers and birds? Forgive my poor eyesight, I really can't make out what it is."☆

Su Qianqian's face turned red and white, she knew that Yaopin was deliberately mocking her☆

She clenched her teeth and tried to squeeze out a few words to respond☆

But in the end, I chose to remain silent. After all, it was futile to argue in front of everyone☆

When Concubine Yao saw that Su Ning did not respond, the sneer on her face deepened a little☆

She continued, "But then again, Miss Su is a talented person for being able to paint to this level☆

But...if the people outside knew that there was such a "painting genius" in our palace, they would probably laugh their heads off. "☆

Hearing this, the people around couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter☆

Su Qianqian just felt so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into☆

Ye Hanxing, the prince of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, is known for his stern face and unfathomable temperament: "I think it's very good!"☆

Yaopin's charming face was full of provocation: "Your Highness, do you really think this painting is worthy of such praise☆

In our Great Zhou, there are more outstanding painters and works. "☆

Ye Hanxing glanced at her coldly, and his voice revealed unquestionable majesty: "Yaopin, what do you know☆

This painting contains the endless freedom and wildness that our Mongolian Yuan Dynasty yearns for. How can a shallow person like you understand it? "☆

Yaopin was so excited by Ye Hanxing's words that her eyebrows were raised☆

She retorted, "Your Highness, you are too arrogant.

I thought that only your Mongolian art was supreme☆

Our Great Zhou's culture is not inferior to yours at all!"☆

Ye Hanxing laughed in anger, and his laughter revealed a chilling chill:☆

"Yaopin, if you really understood art, you wouldn't be talking nonsense here.

Every stroke of this painting represents the wisdom and courage of our Mongolian people. How can you be so contemptuous? "☆

Yaopin was intimidated by Ye Hanxing's aura, but she still said stubbornly:

"Hmph, Your Highness, please don't be so confident☆

Art is a matter of personal opinion. Just because you like this painting doesn’t mean everyone will like it. ”☆

A dangerous light flashed in Ye Hanxing's eyes. He approached Concubine Yao and spoke in a low and powerful voice:

"Yaopin, I warn you, don't challenge my patience.☆

"I am not a citizen of your Great Zhou, and I don't know any rules. If you dare to speak rudely again, don't blame me for being rude!"☆

Concubine Yao was overwhelmed by Ye Hanxing's momentum and took a few steps back involuntarily. She knew that she had touched the reverse scale of this Mongolian prince and did not dare to provoke him easily. So, she could only shut her mouth in dismay and said no more☆

Ye Hanxing turned his attention to Su Qianqian☆

Then he said solemnly: "I said, you are mine!" His voice was deep and magnetic, as if it could attract people's attention☆

Before Su Qianqian could respond, the people around her started whispering☆

"Hey, look at this Mongolian prince, is he interested in Miss Su from the Su family?" Someone whispered to the person next to him☆

"I think so too. Look at his eyes. He keeps staring at Miss Su." Another person echoed.

"But isn't Miss Su very close to General Gu? How come the prince is so interested in Miss Su now?" Someone else interrupted out of curiosity☆

"You don't understand this, right? As the saying goes, a gentleman seeks a beautiful lady!" The first person shook his head proudly.

Su Qianqian tried to calm her inner panic. She turned to Ye Hanxing and said softly: "Ye Hanxing, I..." However, her words were interrupted by Ye Hanxing☆

Ye Hanxing looked at Su Qianqian again with a firm gaze. His voice was low and powerful, as if echoing in Su Qianqian's ears: "I found Xi Che. You must marry me and come with me."☆

After saying that, he raised his head, looked directly into Su Qianqian's eyes, and asked seriously: "Su Qianqian, you just need to answer me, are you willing to come with me?"☆

At this critical moment, Gu Peng suddenly stood up. His face was serious and his voice was firm: "She can't go with you!" His eyes were looking directly at Ye Hanxing, as if challenging his determination☆

Su Qianqian looked at the scene in front of her, feeling mixed emotions☆

She didn't know how to answer Ye Hanxing's question, nor did she know how to face Gu Peng's objection☆

"How dare you!" The emperor's voice was like thunder, echoing throughout the space, "How can a royal wedding be treated as a joke?"

The emperor, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, slowly walked into the hall surrounded by the crowd. ☆

He walked like a dragon and a tiger, his face was as handsome as jade, and his eyes revealed a noble aura without anger. The palace maids and eunuchs behind him held various treasures, shining with gold☆

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, and the hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone bowed their heads☆

Waiting for the emperor's decree. All I heard was a long, drawn-out "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees," followed by the high and clear voice of the decree officer echoing in the hall:

"Now there is Su Ning, who is of good character and appearance, virtuous and kind, and very much in my heart. I hereby confer her the title of Princess Xinzhu, and give her the honor of a princess. She will marry the prince of the Yuan Dynasty on a chosen date to establish friendship between our two countries. I decree this."☆

Ye Hanxing stepped forward and saluted: "This is the emperor's grace."☆

Gu Peng also quickly retracted his previous emotions and saluted to the emperor to show his respect☆

"Suning, you are so brave!" The emperor said coldly, "How dare you refuse the royal marriage in front of me? Do you know how serious this crime is?"☆

Su Qianqian's body trembled slightly, and she knelt on the ground and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I did not mean to offend the royal majesty. It's just... I just need some time to think about it."☆

"Consider? Humph, what else do you need to consider?" The emperor interrupted her coldly, his tone full of dissatisfaction and anger, "How can a small servant like you be allowed to consider a royal marriage?☆

I have decided that you must marry Ye Hanxing to maintain peace between the two countries. My will is not for you to consider! "☆

Su Qianqian felt a sense of despair, she knew that her request was not accepted by the emperor☆

She raised her head, trying to see a hint of relief in the emperor's eyes, but she only saw determination and coldness☆

"Your Majesty..." She wanted to push for it again, but the Emperor had already waved his hand impatiently☆

"That's enough! Suning, stop challenging my patience☆

Now, I order you to prepare for your marriage with Ye Hanxing immediately, without any mistakes!" The emperor's voice was full of majesty and unquestionable☆

Su Qianqian knew that she had no way out. She could only accept the order silently and then leave the hall.

She knew that her fate was firmly controlled by the emperor, and she could neither resist nor escape☆

And all this... just a few days ago☆

The night was deep, and Concubine Yao was wearing an exquisite emerald green dress.

Under the illumination of the bright palace lanterns, it looks like a dazzling emerald inlaid in the prosperity of the imperial palace.

She walked lightly to the emperor, and a faint fragrance wafted away, like a spring breeze blowing through the branches, bringing a bit of freshness and tranquility☆

She whispered softly in the emperor's ear, "Your Majesty, look at that child, Suning, he is the same age and appearance as the prince of the Yuan Dynasty. They are truly a perfect match made in heaven☆

Although it was found that the last treason incident had nothing to do with Prime Minister Su,

☆But his reputation in the Great Zhou Dynasty is at its peak, and everyone praises him. If this continues, the royal family may lose face..."

Yaopin's words were as graceful as silk, and every word was like a carefully selected pearl, strung together to form an ingenious painting☆

She continued, "If we marry Su Ning to the prince of the Yuan Dynasty, it will not only calm Prime Minister Su's restless heart, but also let him know the royal family's love and respect. Secondly, it will also be an opportunity to make friends with the Yuan Dynasty and consolidate the peace of the border of the Great Zhou."☆

There was a flash of deep thought in the emperor's eyes. Concubine Yao's words were like a gentle breeze, blowing gently across the lake in his heart, creating ripples.

He nodded slightly, expressing his approval and consideration of the proposal, but in his mind he was weighing the pros and cons☆

Concubine Yao stood quietly by with a smile of success on her face.

She knew that her words had planted a seed in the emperor's heart, and when the time came, it would take root and sprout, and bloom into the flower she wanted☆

The emperor groaned for a moment, his eyes wandering over Concubine Yao, as if trying to see through her true thoughts☆

He was well aware of Concubine Yao's intelligence and her influence in the palace☆

"Yaopin, you are right." The emperor spoke slowly, with a hint of appreciation in his voice, "Staying Prime Minister Su in good terms and making peace with the Mongols is indeed a strategy that kills two birds with one stone☆

Upon hearing this, Concubine Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that the emperor had accepted her proposal, and the next question was how to put it into practice☆

She smiled slightly and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise and will naturally be able to weigh the pros and cons and formulate the most comprehensive plan.

I am only trying my best to help His Majesty. ☆

That's why the Emperor issued an imperial decree today and granted the marriage without waiting for Su Qianqian to speak☆

Su Qianqian walked out of the hall, her heart was shrouded in a haze, the will of marriage made her feel extremely heavy☆

She suddenly looked for Gu Yuan eagerly, as if only he could give her a little comfort☆

When she finally saw Gu Yuan, her inner emotions burst out instantly. She ran to Gu Yuan desperately and hugged him tightly☆

Gu Yuan was slightly surprised by Su Qianqian's behavior. He looked down at Su Ning in his arms, who was always laughing but was actually as fragile as a child. A complex emotion surged in his heart☆

Gu Yuan didn't know how to control his inner emotions. He could feel Su Ning's embrace getting tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to merge himself into her body☆

However, he also knew that his second brother Gu Peng also loved Su Ning and could give her better protection☆

He didn't want Suning to become the second Feng Lingxue and suffer the same pain and harm☆

Gu Yuan's heart was full of contradictions and struggles. He wanted to respond to Su Ning's hug, but he also wanted to push her away and keep her away from him.

Gu Yuan finally chose to stand still and let Su Qianqian hug him tightly☆

He knew that any words were superfluous at this time, and only silent companionship and protection were the best comfort?

Gu Yuan looked up into the distance, his heart filled with helplessness and bitterness. ☆

This scene happened to be seen by Gu Peng. He stood not far away, looking at the two people hugging each other with complicated eyes☆

Gu Peng did not make any noise to interrupt them, but just quietly observed their reactions☆

Under Gu Peng's complicated gaze, Su Qianqian suddenly loosened her arms that were tightly hugging Gu Yuan. She took a step back and looked at him firmly.

There was a hint of unquestionable determination in her voice: "Gu Yuan, from now on, call me Su Qianqian."☆

Gu Yuan was stunned and looked at her in confusion. He didn't understand why Su Ning suddenly asked him to call her Su Qianqian.

Gu Peng was also confused. He looked at Su Qianqian, trying to find the answer from her expression. But Su Qianqian just looked at Gu Yuan calmly, waiting for his response. ☆

Gu Yuan's heart was filled with confusion and puzzlement. He didn't know how to answer☆

He looked at Su Qianqian's determined eyes and knew that this was not a request that could be easily rejected☆

But he also understood that this change meant a certain transformation in their relationship☆

Finally, Gu Yuan nodded: "Okay, Su Qianqian." His voice was a little trembling, but his tone was firm☆

Gu Yuan knew that no matter what Su Qianqian asked him to do, he would respect her choice☆

Su Qianqian was very relieved to hear Gu Yuan's answer. She could finally be with Gu Yuan as Su Qianqian☆

On the other side, Gu Peng was thoughtful.

At this moment, Su Qianqian felt that her body was suddenly out of control, and the uncontrollable power in her body was running rampant☆

Ye Hanxing, who had been watching from the other side, lowered his head and said, "Are you a fool?" Then he flashed in front of Gu Yuan and Su Qianqian and took Su Qianqian away.

Leaving behind Gu Yuan who was puzzled
