Nalan Baiqiong immediately returned to Asahi Palace after the court session. When he saw Shen Yanxi standing in the corridor, he exclaimed,""Why are you up? Didn't I tell you to lie in bed for half a month?"
"I have been practicing martial arts since I was young, and I am not some delicate young lady. Your Majesty is worrying too much.”
Nalan Baiqiong was unwilling to comply and insisted on helping Shen Yanxi back to the side hall to lie down. Shen Yanxi could not dissuade her and could only lie down. However, she waved her hand and called for two maids. They were dressed in female official clothes and said,"His Majesty is also unwilling to let this subject help you undress. Fortunately, after Female Official Li left, this subject found a candidate to teach. From today onwards, let them serve His Majesty.”
The two female officials stepped forward and bowed."Xie Yi greets Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty.”"Chen Jingmin greets Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty.”
The one called Xie Yi looked older and was probably about the same age as Shen Yanxi. The other one was younger and was probably only sixteen or seventeen years old. She had a very beautiful face and would definitely be favored by the Emperor. However, she did not look like someone Shen Yanxi would choose to serve her. Her surname was Shen, so she was most likely a member of the Shen family. It was unknown what relationship she had with Shen Yanxi.
Shen Yanxi explained," Jingmin is this subject's sister. This child wants to be a female official. Your Majesty, don't look at her young age. Her behavior is considered steady. She has already stayed in Longsheng Hall for a year. This subject thinks that this child is clever and lively. Perhaps she can relieve your boredom."”
Nalan Baiqiong was of course indifferent. Shen Yan liked to pick people, so he could rest assured. He nodded and smiled at Shen Jingmin,""Your elder sister is this one's savior. This one also treats your elder sister as a biological elder sister. Moreover, she is a few years older than you, so you can also call this one elder sister.”
"Your Majesty, how can Jingmin bear such an honor?”Shen Yanxi hurriedly stopped him.
Shen Jingmin giggled and approached Nalan Baiqiong in a very familiar manner. She said respectfully,"There are rumors outside that His Majesty is a bad woman, but Elder Sister said that His Majesty is the best woman in the world and treats Elder Sister the best. Jingmin and Elder Sister were not favored when they were young and were bullied at home. It was only when Elder Sister became His Majesty's female official that no one dared to bully Jingmin anymore. Therefore, Jingmin had regarded the Emperor as her benefactor since she was young. No matter how the rumors spread outside, Jingmin had never believed them. Seeing the Emperor today, she knew that the rumors outside were 100% false. The Emperor was just as her sister had said, the best person in the world.”
Her words made Nalan Baiqiong, who was considered an old auntie in modern times and had been insulted by young girls countless times, burst into joy."Yanxi, your sister is really interesting. She doesn't look like you and her personality doesn't look like you.”
"Sister is like a father, Jingmin is like a mother.”
"Jingmin, don't spout nonsense in front of His Majesty!”Shen Yanxi's face darkened.
Nalan Baiqiong was still a little confused. Why was it that her sister's praise of her was nonsense? She also remembered that Shen Yanxi was a concubine daughter, and her sister should also be a concubine daughter. A concubine daughter could not call her biological mother. The wife of the first wife was the mother of all children.
Shen Jingmin, however, had a determined look on her face. She did not say a word, nor did she have any intention of changing her words. She was rather straightforward.
"It's fine. Zhen also can't stand those men having three wives and four concubines. They hurt the heart of the main wife and make the concubines suffer humiliation.”Nalan Baiqiong tried to smooth things over. Anyway, she quite liked Shen Jingmin.
However, when she said this, the expressions of the people present became strange. Nalan Baiqiong then remembered that she had a harem of male companions and could not help but feel a little embarrassed.
God could testify that she was really monogamy. She had been here for so long and there were so many handsome men. Which one of them was she interested in?
With Shen Jingmin around, the Asahi Palace was indeed much livelier. The female officials of Longsheng Hall were copying Buddhist scriptures all day long, and it was rare for her to stay there obediently for a year. It was obvious that she had ideas and was strong in her actions. No wonder Shen Yanxi brought her here at such a young age.
Although he had said those words to threaten Night Killer that night, he did not do anything about it. Especially when he saw that Shen Yanxi was really fine and was getting better every day, the anger in his heart quickly dissipated. He heard that Night Killer had been tortured by Tang Xue and even sent someone to talk to her. It was good that he was imprisoned. There was no need to torture him every day.
Nalan Baiqiong looked at Lou Chen's face and couldn't help but throw the teacup on the table beside his feet."Do you really think I don't know why you're going to the auction? You were the one who lured the Night Slaughter here, weren't you? I have had enough. These days, I have been giving rewards and talking to each other every day. I just want to let bygones be bygones. Can't you see the change in me? If you still insist on doing things your own way, even if I'm not willing to make a move, I can't keep you!”
Lou Chen's expression didn't change and he ignored everything."What does Your Majesty mean? Qingwu doesn't understand."
Nalan Baiqiong was silent for a while, feeling powerless in his chest."You don't understand? I know that you wanted to poison me that night, but I didn't drink that cup of wine.”
Nalan Baiqiong looked at Lou Chen as if he was looking at the South City. His eyes gradually became misty."Zhen also knows that you don't want to stay by Zhen's side at all, and you don't even want to say a word to Zhen. You stayed because Nalan Baiyao wanted you to stay and wait for an opportunity to attack Zhen. I know you don't like me. No, not only do you dislike me, you probably hate me the most. But I didn't say anything. I'll take it that you volunteered. Lou Chen, do you know that you're different to me? You don't know what I've entrusted to you. Go back to Nalan Baiyao's side. I wish you a happy life together.”
Lou Chen was still expressionless and did not even look at Nalan Baiqiong."What nonsense are you talking about, Your Majesty? I've said it before, if Your Majesty wants me to leave, then grant me death.”
However, there was clearly some hesitation in his tone.
"Are you really going to be stubborn?" Nalan Baiqiong walked in front of Lou Chen and felt a strange emotion in her heart. She was tall and was not much shorter than Lou Chen. She could easily lift his chin." Then do you know that Yaoyao is going to welcome Jinchuan's younger brother into the princess's manor and get married?"”
Sure enough, Lou Chen's eyes flashed with shock and pain. Nalan Baiqiong felt her chest tighten.
"Why? So Yaoyao didn't tell you? Really, if you don't go back now, it'll be too late. A person's life is so short. Don't always think that there's a future to speak of.”Nalan Baiqiong looked at him as if she was looking at herself who had collapsed on the bed and cried uncontrollably after learning that she was not the bride of the wedding in Nancheng.
No matter how good she was at pretending, she couldn't control her emotions.
However, Lou Chen quickly knelt down to hide his slight panic."What did Qingwu do wrong? Your Majesty can punish him as you please.”#
