There wasn't much emotion on Zi Qing's face, but the hands hidden in his sleeves couldn't help but clench and tremble uncontrollably. He tried his best not to lose his composure. His mouth moved and he asked,"Where is the Emperor now?"
The servant lowered her head even more and finally stammered,"Your Majesty…Your Majesty…This servant heard that…you haven't woken up yet and are still there.”
"Alright, bengong understands. Get out!”Zi Qing stood up, trembling. He stood there alone for a long time, then turned around and walked out of the house. The trees were still green, and the snow-white, pink, and yellow flowers were still in bloom. They looked even more charming under the sunlight. The sunlight was warm, but he felt cold all over.
The scenery of the Mystic Phoenix Palace had always been beautiful, but at this moment, Zi Qing felt that they were particularly dazzling and ironic. They seemed to be laughing at him.
She said that she would not marry anyone else. Even though she already had ten concubines, she had never doted on any of them. Although he knew that it was inappropriate, he was secretly happy. But she went to Changhuan Palace…
At this moment, Lanyi was sleeping. He looked at her quietly, then gently picked her up and pressed his face against hers. Lanyi's small body moved, but she was still sound asleep. Suddenly, drops of water appeared on Lanyi's tender face. One or two drops, more and more drops of water appeared. Soon, they flowed into her neck. The next moment, the little girl pouted and cried loudly.
Only then did Zi Qing realize that he was actually crying, and it even flowed into Lan Yi's neck. He quickly wiped away the tears on Lanyi's face and gently patted her back."Lan Yi, don't cry. It's daddy's fault. Daddy has disturbed Lan Yi's beautiful dream. From now on, Daddy only has Lanyi…"
The struggle within the harem had a long history. As long as there were people, there would be a struggle. Moreover, it was in such a situation where there were many people. In the past, when she saw a group of women fighting on television, she had interpreted it as women being petty and jealous. Now, it seemed that it was not only women who would be jealous and use tricks. When men fought, their methods and schemes were even more unheard of and she could not catch up with them. She was starting to have a headache.
For example, when she was seriously flipping through the information, when she was resting, or when she was taking a walk and drinking tea, Xiaosi would always find an opportunity to talk about some things about the harem's young masters. He would say that a certain concubine was very beautiful, that someone had some talent and wisdom, and that someone was always thinking about what gift she wanted to give her. If she remembered correctly, the most he talked about was Shui Luo. This Shui Luo, sigh, why is he still haunting me? She used to be afraid of him, but now, he had become her Water Concubine. This piece of sticky candy could not be pulled off no matter how hard she tried.
She understood what they meant. Who asked her to be the emperor? Who asked them to be her harem? Wei Ziqing, this is all your fault! Let's see how this ends now?
However, even though he was thinking about it, he still had to resolve the matter. "Xiaosi, you accepted Consort Shui's bribe, right?”Xue Lin knocked on the table and asked.
Xiaosi was so scared that she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Xue Lin said expressionlessly,""Zhen does not wish for a next time. You have been following me since last year and have done many things for me, so has Xiaomei. But why do I feel that he is more loyal than you?”
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This servant was just muddle-headed for a moment. There will never be a next time. This servant is loyal to Your Majesty. That time, in order to invite Li Qi, this servant almost lost his life. I beg the emperor not to chase this servant away on account of our past relationship!”
"You have indeed made a great contribution in that matter, so this one has said that we will not pursue this matter. You are very smart. You have to know what to say and what not to say. Alright, get up. You're right. Let's go to Water Consort's tonight. It had been more than twenty days since he entered the palace. It was time to go and see him.”Sigh, men are so troublesome.
Shui Luo's residence was located in the north, and from Yonghe Palace, they had to pass by the residences of several concubines. This trip to Shui Luo was undoubtedly a provocation to the world. It seemed that although this man was young, he was very scheming. When she passed by Xuanhuang Palace on the way, she happened to meet Zike enjoying the shade on the long corridor. His exquisite face looked even more crystal clear and gentle under the moonlight, like a little fairy boy who walked out of a fairy tale. However, at this time, there was a faint sense of loss and melancholy on his face, and she once again felt self-reproach and guilt. Thinking back, if it weren't for Zike, she would have lost her life long ago. Zike even helped deliver Lan Yi…He should have been happy. He was so beautiful and pure. Why did he fall into this harem?
Moreover, he was Zi Qing's younger brother, the son of the Prime Minister.
At this time, Zi Ke seemed to have seen her and was looking at her. She had to stop and greet him. Then, she saw an expectant and shy smile on his face. At that moment, it was as if a huge rock had pressed down on her heart. She hated this devilish face of hers to death!
Another man who was like a moth flying into the fire.
It was all her face's fault! Who could tell her what to do?
The results of the exam came out. There were not many surprises or surprises. Zi Ran won first place with an absolute advantage. She was 21 points higher than the second place. The rest of the people's results were not much different. Among the commoners, only two people passed the exam. Among the few men who came to take the exam, one passed. The rest were all women from the aristocratic families. Xue Lin didn't know what to do with these people. After all, it was far from what she had imagined, especially with regards to Zi Ran's arrangement.
After asking Suqin, she went to the Mystic Phoenix Palace.
On the left side of the palace was Zi Qing, while on the right side was Zi Ke.
When Xue Lin stepped into Zi Qing's bedroom, she saw Zi Qing holding Lan Yi and reciting some poems. She couldn't help but smile. She walked over and carried Lan Yi over. The little guy was smiling at her, and the haze in her heart disappeared by half. After a palace servant tactfully carried Lan Yi out, only she and Zi Qing were left in the huge hall.
"How have you been?" She broke the silence and asked.
"Then what do you think, emperor? With Lan Yi accompanying me every day, I dare not have any other thoughts. Your Majesty, you are busy with state affairs and haven't come for half a month. Why are you free to come today?”
Did she hear wrongly? Did this sound like something Ziqing would say? He seemed to be very dissatisfied with her and blamed her for going to someone else's place? Wasn't this all planned by him? Now, there were so many complaints! Fortunately, she had always been sensitive. His words meant that he was jealous, which meant that he still cared about her very much, so she pretended not to hear him and pulled him to sit beside her. At first, he resisted a little, but under her strong pull, he obediently sat down next to her.
"What about Ziqing? I don't feel happy at all now. I'm tired every day. I miss the days when I lived in the Snow Tide Palace. " At that time, the first thing I saw when I woke up every morning was your dreamy smile. At that time, you always played the piano for me and were always very gentle to me, but now…" As she spoke, she held his arm and leaned against his shoulder with her eyes closed. She sighed silently.
Ziqing was also troubled by the same thing. If he had known that this would happen, wouldn't he have done it without hesitation? He also wanted to stay with her forever and live happily with her, but reality didn't allow it. Yun Miao forced her to abdicate, and Ah Xue was about to give birth. If he didn't do that, how could he protect his lover and daughter? Was he wrong? Did he really shoot himself in the foot?
" Xue…" he murmured softly.
"Well, what should we do now? Ziqing, what should I do? I only want to love you and stay by your side. But what about those concubines?”
" Xue…Xue…" He hugged her tightly, tears welling up in his eyes. Can you not be so nice? You'll spoil me, you know? Why did you give me such a promise? Why did you tell me that you only want to marry me in this life? I'm the son of the Prime Minister, and I've known since I was young that my future wife would not only be loyal to me, so why did you give me such hope and promise? How do you want me to face you?
"Ziqing, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" She noticed that something was wrong with him and turned his face to examine it carefully. She reached out her sleeve to wipe his tears, but he grabbed her. She could only blink and look at him blankly.
"Xue, you can't be so good to Ziqing. Because you're the emperor, you can't only have me in your heart. Don't talk about monogamy anymore. If you do, my heart will go wild and I will be jealous because I love you, Xue! I don't expect the two of us to be together forever. I just hope that you can occasionally think of me when you are busy. When you are tired, you will think of Ziqing waiting for you in the Mystic Phoenix Palace to solve your worries and remove the obstacles on your path. Yes, I'm a man, so I can only love you and think of you humbly. Ziqing doesn't dare to think about anything else, really.“
Her heart throbbed again. She hugged him tightly, as if she was using all her strength to hug him tightly. Her heart was like a small sailboat in the sea, swaying in the wind and waves. Why were all these men like this? How could she bear this heavy and burning love? Why did it have to be her?
