"Men, take her away!" The governor ordered.
"What does Governor Song want to do to her?”Before they could come up, the man beside them stood up and said. Mu Xiyan did not expect the man beside her to stand out, and she felt a little gratified.
"Ah! You…you…this humble official…this humble official kowtows to the emperor!”When the magistrate heard the voice, he turned his head and saw the person who was most unlikely to appear here at this moment. He quickly pulled Fatty to kneel on the ground. The people who followed the governor also knelt down after hearing the governor's words.
He was actually the emperor? Was it the emperor who was going to choose a consort that day? Mu Xiyan looked at the man next to her in disbelief. What kind of dumb luck did she have? A prince, a palace master, and then the emperor!
"Governor Song, you've been the governor of Phoenix City for many years, right? I think it's time for a change of scenery.”The Emperor mocked coldly.
"Your Majesty! I didn't know that the emperor was here. I was just punishing the woman who was presumptuous in Phoenix City!”Governor Song said fearfully, hurriedly wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Oh? I don't know what crime my imperial concubine has committed that requires Governor Song to punish her personally.”The blue-robed man asked.
Imperial Concubine? Governor Song said incredulously. He knew that the emperor did not have any concubines and would only choose a concubine five days later.
"Emperor, this humble official is stupid, may I know who this empress is?”Governor Song asked.
"Governor Song is very concerned about my harem. Then I will make her a concubine and give her the name Zhen. Enter the palace today and live in Zhenhe Palace!" After the Emperor finished speaking, his expression turned cold. He looked straight at Governor Song's son and said,"Song Geng taught his son badly, bent the law for personal gain, and snatched the imperial concubine. He was punished for a year and demoted to Yuzhou Prefecture Magistrate.”With that, he took Mu Xiyan's hand and left.
"Thank you, Lord!" Song Geng gave his thanks with a sad face. He only dared to stand up when he could no longer see the Emperor's figure.
"Emperor, where are you taking me?”Mu Xiyan asked when she saw Situ Chengyan walking with her.
"Weren't you making a wish just now? I promised you that I would do it. Just now, zhen had already conferred you the title of zhen fei, of course my beloved fei will follow zhen back to the palace.”Situ Chengyan smiled gently.
"I don't want it." Mu Xiyan shook off his hand and said with a gloomy expression.
"Why?" Situ Chengyan did not expect to be rejected. He was surprised. There were many women who wanted to enter the harem but did not have the chance. Why did the woman in front of him look down on them?
"When I think of a man with three thousand beauties in my harem, no matter how good he is, I am not willing to give myself to him. Because, the man I want, he will be my everything, and I must be his everything.”Mu Xiyan said softly. Situ Chengyan was very gentle and did not put on airs like an emperor. However, even if he was very good, she would not share him with many women. She definitely did not want him!
Situ Chenyan looked at her determined and sincere eyes and liked her a little.
"Consort Zhen, return to the palace with Zhen. Even if you are unwilling, Zhen has already issued an edict. You have to return to the palace as a consort. Otherwise, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor and a great crime of beheading.”Situ Chengyan said calmly.
This time, Mu Xiyan did not resist and allowed Situ Chengyan to pull her into the palace.
After entering the palace, Mu Xiyan realized that the palace was very big and beautiful, but none of the palaces were as luxurious and beautiful as the White Jade Palace. Perhaps only the White Jade Palace was like that, and only he had that kind of ability...
Mu Xiyan patted her head. Why did she think of him again? Ye Mingjin. She didn't know what he was doing.
"Stop patting. Your face is already swollen. Don't add more scars to yourself. Otherwise, if you become ugly, how can you be my concubine?”Situ Chengyan looked at Mu Xiyan, who had been silent all this while. He had seen every expression on her face since she entered the palace. Every time her eyes changed, he would feel worried. In order to make her happy, he had to ease the atmosphere.
"Who wants to be your concubine? I haven't agreed yet. Don't be happy too early.”Mu Xiyan muttered in a low voice, ignoring the fact that the Emperor had already heard her.
"Emperor, you're finally back!" A eunuch ran over from afar and said to Situ Chengyan anxiously,"If you didn't come back soon, this servant would have been beaten. The Empress Dowager went to Xuanyang Palace and has been waiting for the emperor for a long time.”
"Zhen Fei, whom Zhen has just conferred, let's go.”Situ Chengyan walked in front, and Mu Xiyan had no choice but to follow him to Xuanyang Palace.
After entering the palace, he saw a woman in her thirties sitting in the main seat. She was slightly serious but did not lose her noble beauty.
Situ Chengyan approached the woman and knelt on one knee."Your son greets mother."
Mu Xiyan also learnt the way she saw the servant maids bow in the residence of Prince Rui and bowed to the Empress Dowager,"Greetings, Empress Dowager."
"Mother, she is the consort that your son has just conferred.”Situ Chengyan said to the Empress Dowager. Then, he turned to Mu Xiyan and said,""Beloved Consort should call herself ChenQie."
"My son, how can you make me a concubine? It's a good thing that you're willing to choose a concubine, but to give such a high position just entering the palace is against the ancestral system. Giving a noble just entering the palace is already a great grace.”The empress dowager reprimanded.
"Mother, since your son was able to give her the position of consort, she has something your son likes. Your son's imperial edict cannot be changed. Wouldn't it be a good thing for Consort Zhen to help Mother pay more attention to the consort selection five days later?”Situ Chengyan said.
"Forget it, if the emperor likes it, then seal it. As long as the emperor is willing to spread the branches and leaves, it's fine.”the Empress Dowager said to Mu Xiyan.
Mu Xiyan looked up at the Empress Dowager, neither servile nor overbearing.
" Why…why are your eyes…" The empress dowager's first reaction was to wonder why her eyes were two different colors.
"Replying to Empress Dowager, ChenQie was born with two colored eyes.”Mu Xiyan replied, depressed. Was he that surprised? I'm a special case of mixed-blood. Why is everyone so surprised to see my eyes when I come here?
"Get up, Consort Zhen. You are the first concubine in the harem. Five days later, there will be no consort position. Your position is the highest, so you must set an example for the concubines. If you can give the imperial family a prince, this widow will let the emperor confer you the title of empress and will not treat you badly.”the empress dowager said.
"Mother! Thank you, mother!" Situ Chengyan was shocked. He never thought that the empress dowager would have such a good impression of her. But the Empress Dowager remembered a lot that the abbot had untied for her a few days ago.”He actually appeared so quickly! Nan Yu Nation was still at war. If what the abbot said was true, then this woman was Nan Yu Nation's lucky star. She could help Nan Yu Nation stand firm and not fall. The emperor also liked her. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Thinking of this, the empress dowager's lips curled into a smile.
