Chapter 193 Charm 3

I don't like it. Shiyao couldn't say the three words.

Someone who stays by her side, protects her and makes her happy when she is alone in a foreign place.

A man who holds a high position but is willing to lower himself in front of her.

A man who is as handsome as Pan An, and who doesn't mind that she has an ordinary appearance and no strengths.

Someone who is sincere to her and whose heart and eyes are filled with her.

Shiyao couldn't say the word "dislike".

But I can't say the word "like".

Yes, she could feel the emperor’s sincerity.

But it doesn't mean that she understands the emperor's true feelings and can accept being the emperor's concubine or royal concubine.

Therefore, faced with the emperor's questions, Shi Yao could only remain silent.

My mind was in a mess, with so many thoughts turning around and around, but my mouth seemed to be stuck with glue, I couldn't open my mouth or speak.

Xuan Ling promised anxiously, "I can assure you that I will never touch them."

Originally, Xuan Ling didn't take these two people seriously at all. They were just two more freeloaders in the harem.

If he knew that this would cause Shi Yao to retreat back to her original state, wouldn't he have just secretly gotten rid of the Zhen family's concubine?

Tsk, it's such an eyesore staying in the palace.

Xuan Ling regretted it deeply.

Did Shi Yao really just realize that the emperor has a harem?

of course not.

Who doesn’t know that the emperor has three thousand beauties in his harem?

It was just that in this talent show, these two contestants exposed Shiyao’s self-deception.

The beauty pageant is held every three years. In this round, two people enter the palace, in the next round, three people enter the palace, and in the next round, four people enter the palace. Don't forget that there are already several concubines in the harem.

How many women would she share it with?

Shiyao couldn't guess the number, nor did she want to guess.

She doesn't want to.

She is just an ordinary selfish person. She doesn't have an open mind and can't accept that her husband has another woman.

Facing Xuan Ling's anxious tone, Shi Yao intertwined her index fingers and thumbs tightly together, just like her inner struggle.

The emperor is different. For him, having three thousand beauties in his harem is the norm, but for Shiyao, being faithful to one man is normal.

The gap between the times lies between the two of them.

It’s not that it can’t be crossed, it just requires the bravest one to take the first step.

Shiyao always kept her head down, but Xuan Ling no longer had the patience to make her look up and smile as usual. For the first time, he held up Shiyao's face, wanting to see her heart clearly.

Looking into those misty eyes, Xuan Ling saw the entanglement and embarrassment in her heart and said seriously, "Yaoyao, tell me what you want."

Perhaps it was the determination and seriousness in the emperor's eyes that gave Shiyao the courage to try again, or perhaps it was the voice in her heart that made her want to give him a chance.

So she was willing to express her feelings and said, "I want you to belong to me alone."

The emperor who belongs to me alone, not the emperor of the concubines in the harem.

It belongs only to Shiyao, only to Shiyao, only to Shiyao.

Xuan Ling repeated this sentence three times in his mind. He felt excited and couldn't suppress a smile on his face.

"I promise you."

The next second, Xuan Ling offended Shi Yao again without her permission and kissed her long-awaited red lips.

Between lips and teeth, what is exchanged is the love between each other.

Although there are some difficulties, they are not a problem for him. For Shiyao, or rather, for himself to get Shiyao's wholehearted love, Xuan Ling is willing to do it and will not hesitate.

After the kiss, Xuan Ling leaned against her forehead, looked directly into her eyes, and said solemnly,

"Whatever you want, I will do my best."

Xuan Ling responded with tears, which flowed down Shiyao's cheeks and into his heart.

Bitter, yet mixed with a hint of sweetness.

------

Crying is a very energy-consuming thing. Soon Shiyao began to feel depressed and wanted to go back to her residence to rest.

The two of them just exchanged feelings, Xuan Ling couldn't bear to let her leave, so he let her rest in the Yangxin Palace, "I will accompany you by your side."

Unable to refuse the kindness, Shi Yao lay on the dragon bed shyly, covered with the emperor's quilt. She felt like she was in the emperor's arms, filled with the scent of ambergris.

Xuan Ling left the dragon bed only after she fell asleep.

Yixiu, huh, always disturbs his time with Shiyao.

"What can I do for you, Queen?"

Xuan Ling asked Su Peisheng in a low voice, suppressing his dissatisfaction in his heart, but Shi Yao was resting in the inner room and Xuan Ling didn't want to disturb her.

Su Peisheng leaned forward and handed over a piece of paper, on which was written the arrangements made by the Empress for the newlyweds. Borjigit from the Mongolian Army Banner was given the title of noble lady and was granted the residence of the Zhongcui Palace, while Zhen Huan from the Han Army Banner was given the title of a concubine and was granted the residence of the Chengqian Palace.

Xuan Ling had no objection to the arrangement for Borjigit. Borjigit represented the Mongolian military flag, and she should be granted the title of noble lady when she first entered the palace, and then be granted the title of concubine in the future. That would be enough.

But this Zhen Huan of the Han army flag was given the title of Changzai and granted the residence of Chengqian Palace?

The name "Chengqian" means to follow the will of heaven, so Chengqian Palace is usually the palace where the emperor's favorite concubines live.

Zhen Huan, does she deserve it?

Furthermore, considering her family background, Zhen Yuandao was only a fourth-rank official, and the Zhen family had little background, so it was too late for him to be in a certain position.

Xin Changzai gave birth to the eldest princess for him in the Qiandi Palace, and her rank is still only Changzai until now.

As soon as Zhen Huan entered the palace, she became a concubine. How should the eldest princess cope with this?

The queen was still restless and took the opportunity to test him.

"Feng promised to live in Suiyuxuan."

Feng Danying also did so because her status could not be lowered any lower. Sui Yuxuan was remote and desolate. It was originally a run-down theater and was far away from the Yangxin Palace.

There is still a month before the new bride enters the palace, so it is enough for Zhen Huan to live in the Sui Yuxuan after some renovation.

(There is no Concubine Fang in the private setting, so the Suiyuxuan is still the unrenovated stage.)

Xuan Ling did not mention any name, but Su Peisheng knew exactly who the emperor was talking about.

One can't help but be shocked. Just because she made Miss Shiyao sad, the emperor even disliked Zhen Huan, who was similar to Queen Chunyuan.

In this case, he should pay more attention to Miss Shiyao, and as for Jinxi... he should give her a reminder.

Xuan Ling really disliked Zhen Huan and just wanted to drive her away. If he had the chance to do it again, he would never choose her to enter the palace.

Xuan Ling's murderous intent could not be eliminated, so it would be best if this person entered the palace and was an honest and decent person.

But unfortunately, the words "honest and dutiful" have nothing to do with Zhen Huan at all.

There was a noise coming from the inner room. It was estimated that Shiyao had woken up. Xuan Ling was impatient to continue dealing with these things, so he asked Su Peisheng to go to Jingren Palace to report, "The Queen's arrangement was not good, so the matter of the newcomers entering the palace will be handed over to Concubine Hua."

When I entered the inner room, I saw Shiyao curled up in the quilt with a hazy look in her eyes, and she had not yet fully woken up.

so cute.

Shiyao fell into a daze while sleeping.

Xuan Ling hugged her across the quilt and leaned against the head of the bed.

Wait until she wakes up.

Shi Yao was half awake and half asleep. She wanted to get up, but her body was too lazy to move. Her eyes were still sleepy and her head was dizzy.

She was picked up by Xuan Ling, and she showed no intention of resisting. She was limp and submissive.

Xuan Ling held her in his strong arms, wrapped her tightly in the quilt, and the strong embrace from behind gave her enough sense of security. In a daze, she fell asleep again.

The breathing of the person in his arms gradually became steady. What a cute little pig. Xuan Ling found it funny, and at the same time, he felt a sense of happiness in his heart. Shiyao slept so peacefully in his arms. Shiyao was no longer afraid of him.

Afraid that Shiyao would not sleep comfortably in this position, Xuan Ling hugged her and lay down flat again.

There was no one in the hall, only the sound of Shiyao's shallow breathing and his own pounding heartbeat in his ears. After an unknown amount of time, Xuan Ling gradually became sleepy and fell asleep with her.

……

Su Peisheng conveyed the emperor's decree, and one family was happy while another was sad.

There is only so much power in the palace, and Concubine Hua has more and more power. In contrast, Queen Yixiu's power is naturally getting less and less.

Yixiu was extremely angry, but there was nothing she could do.

After all, this is the emperor's harem. Although she is the queen and the emperor's legal wife, the emperor does not give her honor. She is unwilling to accept it but has no choice but to explain.

However, in this case, Yixiu could not vent her anger on the emperor, so she had to pick on the weak, such as Zhen Huan, who agreed to it.

Therefore, a month later, when the day to enter the palace arrived, Borjigit of the Mongolian army banner was still on her way and had not yet arrived in the capital. Only Zhen Huan herself, accompanied by her two personal maids Huanbi and Liuzhu, entered the palace through the side door of Shunzhen Gate.

As soon as he got off the carriage, he was greeted with a show of respect.

"Zhen Madam, according to the rules, as a concubine, you can only bring one maid into the palace."
