Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved
Chapter 255 Concubine
Qiu Fuqiu shivered even more violently. A Ci's words today were really scary. Every word shocked her for ten thousand years.
If Yan Ci wasn't a girl, she would have thought that Yan Ci wanted to be the emperor herself.
This kind of confidence and courage, not every man can compare to Yan Ci.
Looking at Qiu Fuqiu who kept drinking water to calm herself down, Yan Ci felt that he might have scared her a little.
Thinking about how he wanted to bring Qiu Fuqiu and his second brother together a few days ago, Yan Ci relaxed his expression.
"Miss Qiu, I have something else to ask."
Qiu Fuqiu was startled, and her pounding heart almost stopped.
She pretended to be calm and said, "Aci, go ahead and say it. I can hold on."
I even heard that the emperor was going to be replaced. Is there anything bigger than this?
Yan Ci smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Miss Qiu. It's just a small matter. I wonder if you still like Yongding Hou now?"
When Qiu Fuqiu heard Yan Ci mention Xie Chengyi, her face suddenly darkened, and the tension that had not yet completely faded from her face was instantly replaced by coldness.
Qiu Fuqiu looked indifferent and said, "I haven't liked it for a long time."
Why would she still like a man who is already married?
Her mother said that three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged men are plentiful.
Yan Ci saw the evasive look in Qiu Fuqiu's eyes when she said she didn't like him. It seemed that it was true that she didn't like him, but it was also true that she hadn't forgotten him.
As for her brother's matter, she didn't know whether she should pull the trigger or not.
If I don't do it, I'm afraid of regret, but if I do it, I'm afraid it will end in a miserable way. After all, it's hard to say when there's someone in my heart.
Seeing Yan Ci's sudden silence, Qiu Fuqiu curiously stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Yan Ci, "Is that all? Why, are you not satisfied with my answer?"
Yan Ci said: "No."
"No, that's fine."
Qiu Fuqiu felt relaxed, as she had thought it was no big deal, which had made her very nervous.
She picked up the tea and took a big sip. Before she swallowed it, she heard Yan Ci say another sentence.
"My second brother likes you."
Qiu Fuqiu's mouth was bulging with tea and she almost spit it out. She took great effort to swallow the water and it choked her so much that her chest hurt.
"What did you say, your second brother?"
Qiu Fuqiu searched for Yan Ci's second brother in her mind. Since he was Yan Ci's second brother, he should also have the surname Yan. Second Brother Yan...
Qiu Fuqiu scratched her forehead, wondering why she had no impression of it at all.
Looking at Qiu Fuqiu who was in a dilemma and frowned in deep thought, Yan Ci sighed and said, "To be precise, my second brother should like Soul Painter. He is a loyal fan of Soul Painter."
Qiu Fuqiu nodded, smiling a little shyly, and her tone was obviously relieved. "So you are my fan. That's easy to say. With our friendship, if I draw a few more pictures for him, he will definitely be happy."
Hearing that Qiu Fuqiu's first thought was to send a painting instead of meeting someone, Yan Ci realized that Qiu Fuqiu was rejecting him in disguise.
Yan Ci did not mention anything more about wanting his second brother to meet Qiu Fuqiu.
It is a blessing in life to let your idol live in your heart and live the way you want him to.
Yan Ci recalled the look of joy and admiration on Yan Cheng's face when he mentioned the Soul Painter, and eventually gave up the idea of matchmaking.
The two of them sat for a while, then left Songyaji together and returned home.
At this time in the palace, Xiao Yizhen, the Empress Dowager, had not seen Shen Zhaoyan for three days.
Shen Zhaoyan, who used to be able to be polite to her, began to avoid her every day after he ascended the throne, claiming that he was busy with government affairs.
Even when she took the initiative to go to Yongyan Palace to see him, she was turned away.
In Xiao Yizhen's heart, the reason she wanted to see him was not because she liked him so much, but because she needed a child.
As the queen, she no longer expected to get something as illusory as love from Shen Zhaoyan. She just wanted to hold on to her position as queen.
Only by giving birth to a legitimate eldest son as soon as possible can she secure her position as queen. Otherwise, if her harem is filled in the future and someone else gives birth to a child before her, she will only end up with a vicious reputation if she gets rid of that person.
Nanny Sun walked into the Qiluan Palace with light steps, looked at Xiao Yizhen who was sitting in front of the dressing table and combing her hair, carefully took the silver comb from the little palace maid's hand, and gently combed Xiao Yizhen's hair.
Xiao Yizhen noticed the change of people. Nanny Sun was her wet nurse and had been by her side since she was a child. She was most familiar with her hair-combing technique and was used to her service.
Xiao Yizhen opened her slightly closed eyes and looked at the middle-aged woman in the mirror who was carefully combing her hair, a relieved smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Mammy, you don't have to do everything yourself. There are many people in the palace."
Nanny Sun looked up at Xiao Yizhen in the mirror, her face full of kindness, "I'm used to it."
Xiao Yizhen saw that although Nanny Sun looked calm, her frown hid a hint of worry, so she couldn't help asking, "Nanny, is there something wrong?"
Nanny Sun paused while combing her hair. Xiao Yizhen looked at the palace maids standing behind her and ordered, "All of you go out."
After sending the maid away, Nanny Sun stopped her work and said, "Your Majesty, the people who were assigned to Yongyan Palace just now sent a message saying that they saw the imperial edict on His Majesty's desk to make him a consort."
Xiao Yizhen's heart skipped a beat. What she feared was bound to come true.
It has only been two months since he ascended the throne, and he couldn't even wait for the general election to appoint a concubine.
"Can you see clearly who is the one who sealed it?"
Nanny Sun shook her head. "I didn't see the whole thing. I only saw the character for female in the lower part."
"Female character?"
What word has the character "女" underneath it?
安?
姜?
Or is it Yan?
Xiao Yizhen's head suddenly buzzed.
晏!
Shen Zhaoyan had thought of marrying Yan Ci in the past. Now that he is the emperor and wants to take a concubine, the first one he wants to take is definitely Yan Ci.
Xiao Yizhen's heart was beating wildly, "Quick, send someone to take another look, and make sure to see clearly who is written on the imperial edict!"
What should she do if it was really Yan Ci?
There is already a Yan Ru in the palace. If there is another Yan Ci, her position as queen will be in jeopardy.
She would never allow that to happen.
In Yongyan Palace, Shen Zhaoyan put away the written imperial edict and placed it in a brocade box, then stood up and stretched his tired body.
Being an emperor was indeed not as easy as he had imagined. Not only did he have to review piles of memorials every day, but he also had to compete with those old guys in the court who once supported him.
Why didn't he realize before that those old guys were so difficult to deal with? Their noises almost drove his head to pieces.
He stood up and was about to go out for a walk when he suddenly heard a muffled "bang" coming from the door.
Dao Ji's eyes tightened and he immediately walked over to check. Although Zuo Chun stood still, he stretched his neck and looked over curiously.
After a while, Dao Ji walked in with something in his hand.
As a pungent smell of blood came, when Zuo Chun saw clearly what Dao Ji was holding in his hand, he suddenly felt a surge of blood in his chest. He quickly covered his mouth and turned his head away, so as not to vomit on the spot.
Shen Zhaoyan also froze in place, looking at the familiar face with murderous intent in his eyes.
