Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

Shen Yanyan personally watched the city gate close in front of her, and instantly felt her whole body go cold. She was only seconds away from leaving the palace. How could it be so bloody? Just a few seconds. The plot was just like a drama of a domineering president and his little wife chasing each other, and in the last few seconds, the domineering president finally caught up with the little wife.

I was speechless, completely speechless. I stared blankly at the closed door, my heart dead.

In her previous life, Shen Yanyan was a social animal. She loved to read some books after get off work every day, especially those about domineering CEOs. In this life, the only entertainment she has is storybooks. After two lifetimes together, her brain has been damaged by reading so many books.

Does the emperor have a white moonlight or a cinnabar mole who wants to escape from the palace in the team? Listening to the eunuch's heart-wrenching screams, it seems that his life is about to end. Shen Yanyan's mind was in a mess, and she was thinking nonsense.

The young eunuch who was sitting looked at Eunuch Li and quickly stood up and walked forward to salute.

"Your servant greets Eunuch Li," the young eunuch knelt down and saluted. Eunuch Li was the emperor's close friend and the immediate superior of all the eunuchs and palace maids. If he could be so flustered, there must be something important.

"Get up. I want to ask you, how many people have left the palace? Is there anyone named Shen Yanyan from Yangzhou among them?" Eunuch Li asked hurriedly after taking a breath.

The young eunuch looked at Shen Yanyan who was standing next to him, and immediately replied, "About 700 people have left the palace, but there is no Miss Shen. There is a Miss Shen Yanyan who is also from Yangzhou, but she has not left the palace yet." After saying that, the young eunuch pointed to Shen Yanyan who was standing next to him. His memory was pretty good, and there was no Miss Shen among those who left the palace.

Shen Yanyan, who was standing next to him, was confused when she heard her name. What did it mean? They were targeting her. What had she done? She didn't know any emperor or empress dowager, and she hadn't offended anyone. Why did they come to her?

After listening to the eunuch's words, Eunuch Li looked at Shen Yanyan standing beside him, and felt a little relieved. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "The girl is Shen Yanyan, the daughter of Shen Jingwen, the governor of Yangzhou."

"I am Shen Yanyan. Father-in-law, what do you want to talk to me about?" Shen Yanyan asked cautiously. What's going on? She couldn't think straight. Could it be that the Shen family hired someone to bribe the nanny? That's not the case. The Shen family is not the only one doing this.

Eunuch Li breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the person was still there.

"Miss Shen, please follow me. His Majesty is looking for you." Eunuch Li stood beside Shen Yanyan and said in a low voice.

"Go on," Eunuch Li said to the young eunuch beside him, and then took Shen Yanyan away.

After the two men left, the palace gates opened and the remaining beauties continued to leave the palace.

Xia Zhu, who was outside the palace, saw that the young lady was about to come out, but at the critical moment, the gate was closed. Then he looked at Shen Ting'an and said, "Master, why is the palace gate closed? What should we do with the young lady? She hasn't come out yet." Xia Zhu said anxiously.

Shen Ting'an didn't know why the palace gate was suddenly closed. He thought for a moment and said, "Wait and see."

After a while, the city gate opened, but Shen Yanyan, who was standing in front, disappeared. Xia Zhu panicked instantly, "Master, where is the young lady? Why is she missing? Has she been taken into the palace? Will something happen to her?"

Dongxue on the side also looked at the city gate seriously without saying a word.

Shen Ting'an didn't say anything, just watched the concubines come out one after another.

After a moment, he looked at the two maids beside him and said, "I think she can't come out today. Let's go back to the Shen Mansion first." After saying that, he walked towards the carriage with a serious expression.

The two did not dare to say anything more and followed Shen Ting'an back to the Shen Mansion.

Shen Yanyan followed Eunuch Li in confusion. After thinking for a moment, she took two steps forward and looked at Eunuch Li and said, "Eunuch Li, did you find the wrong person? I don't know His Majesty. Why would His Majesty find me?" She still wanted to ask what was going on. She had a plan to deal with it.

"Miss Shen, you are right. His Majesty is looking for you. As for the rest, we will talk about it after we see His Majesty." Eunuch Li looked at Shen Yanyan with a smile, with some respect in his expression.

His Majesty has never been close to the ladies in the harem, and has never been like this to a woman except for Concubine Lan. This time when he went to Yangzhou, the first thing he did after returning to the palace was to instruct him to add Shen Yanyan's name to the list of beauties. Now he has abandoned the Queen Mother, the Imperial Concubine, and a group of beauties for this Miss Shen, which shows how important Miss Shen is.

I’m afraid that things are going to change in this harem.

Back at Chuxiu Palace, the empress dowager frowned slightly as she watched the emperor walking away.

Why is this child in such a hurry?

He looked at the noble ladies in the palace again. Forget it, just choose it yourself. It's better than letting him choose it himself. If he chooses it himself, there won't be many left.

Now, the dragon heir is the top priority, and we need to select more people to enter the palace to serve.

The Queen Mother looked at the daughters of the royal family below her and called to Concubine Gao, "Concubine, come and take a look."

"Yes, I obey your order."

Concubine Gao looked at the people below and saw two familiar people, a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.

Next it is time for the daughters to show their talents.

After a fierce competition, there were only twenty people left in the hall.

The Queen Mother was also tired. She looked at everyone and said, "That's it for today. You all performed very well."

After saying this, he left with all the concubines.

"Farewell, Her Majesty the Queen Mother." Everyone said in unison.

The nanny standing by looked at everyone and said, "The future fate of each of you ladies depends entirely on the favor His Majesty will bestow upon you tomorrow. Today, each of you ladies should have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow."

Shen Yanyan followed Eunuch Li to a palace, feeling increasingly uneasy. When they entered the palace, they saw a man standing with his hands behind his back and his back to them. After Eunuch Li reported quietly, the man slowly turned around. Shen Yanyan looked up, her eyes wide open.

"Yanyan, nice to meet you again." The man said in a deep and magnetic voice.

Shen Yanyan quickly knelt down and saluted, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

The emperor looked her up and down, frowned slightly, and said, "Get up." He didn't like her being so respectful to him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Yanyan stood up and stood aside with her head down. All the questions in her heart were answered.

I'm really impressed. How could he be the emperor? If I had known, I wouldn't have provoked him, and I got myself into trouble. Two lifetimes of courage in exchange for a lifetime of introversion. In two lifetimes, the first time I flirted with someone, I got into trouble. I will never drink casually again. Drinking harms people. What a crappy drink. I'm quitting.

When Shen Yanyan was lowering her head and thinking about what to do next, Xiao Jingzhan's voice came from above her head.

"Yan Yan is unhappy, why?" Xiao Jingzhan had a smile in his eyes, but it made people feel a little cold.

"No, I'm not unhappy. Your Majesty, what do you want to talk to me about? If nothing else, can I go home first?" Shen Yanyan's smile was a little forced, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She felt a little guilty after saying this, and she still wanted to go out.

"Yan Yan, do you think you can still go out?" The smile on Xiao Jingzhan's lips paused for a second. She really didn't want to enter the palace, even though she knew her identity.

"You teased me in the Lakeside Villa, Yanyan, don't you remember it? If you don't remember, I don't mind letting you recall it." Xiao Jingzhan walked up to her and said, looking at her with his eyes and smiling gently.

Shen Yanyan looked at the smile and felt a little creepy for no reason.

"Your Majesty, please don't talk nonsense. When did I tease you? You might have had an illusion because you drank too much that day. Let me tell you, this is what happens when you drink too much pear blossom wine. You must have drunk too much." Shen Yanyan refused to admit it. She had blacked out anyway.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at the little girl who was blaming others for something else and laughed out loud. He laughed heartily and wantonly.

As expected, only she could stir up the throbbing in his heart.

Watching the conversation between the two and how they get along, Eunuch Li was secretly shocked. This Miss Shen was truly extraordinary. She was the first one to treat His Majesty like this.

"What are you laughing at? You're laughing because you're drunk. Anyway, I've never done such a thing." Shen Yanyan said desperately.

"Well, I remembered it wrongly and wronged Yanyan." Xiao Jingzhan spoke gently and looked at Shen Yanyan with a doting face.

This already extremely beautiful face was looking at her so tenderly that Shen Yanyan felt that she could hardly bear it. He had finally touched upon the lifeblood of a beauty lover.

Shen Yanyan suddenly felt her face getting hot, and she said shamelessly: That's right.

"I have issued an edict to confer you the title of Concubine Yan and move into Yaohua Palace." Xiao Jingzhan looked at the little person with his head lowered in front of him, with a slight smile on his face.

He went to the city gate to stop her with such fanfare today, which would definitely arouse suspicion. Now he could only give her a title first, so that everyone would think that he was attracted by her beauty and forced her to stay in the palace. This behavior would definitely bring her trouble, but with him around, no one could hurt her.

Shen Yanyan suddenly raised her head and widened her eyes, "Your Majesty, this is probably not appropriate. Can we discuss whether we can stay out of the palace?" Shen Yanyan said boldly. She was still fighting for a chance of survival.

"Besides, I don't know the rules of etiquette, I don't look like a lady from a noble family, I can't play the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting, and I don't know anything about poetry or songs. I am not worthy of you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Jingzhan walked up to her and looked down at her, "If I say you deserve it, then you deserve it."

Shen Yanyan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Jingzhan, "Yanyan, don't forget how you lost the election. It's your choice whether to pursue it or not."

Shen Yanyan laughed dryly twice and said, "Don't pursue it, don't pursue it. We are all friends, don't be so serious. I will stay." The damn man actually threatened her. Shen Yanyan had cursed him countless times in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face.

What is this called? She stole the chicken but lost the rice. She is in big trouble for provoking this black-hearted person.

"That's good, Yanyan, go back and have a good rest. I'll have someone send your maid to the palace tomorrow." Xiao Jingzhan looked at Shen Yanyan's forced smile, but he was not annoyed. He then ordered Eunuch Li to send her to Yaohua Palace.

Eunuch Li responded and left with Shen Yanyan. After the two left, Xiao Jingzhan murmured to himself: "Yanyan, you are mine, you can't run away."
