Chapter 232: The Evil Concubine (6)

If we talk about the major events that have happened in the harem since Emperor Ping ascended the throne, I am afraid that this is the only major event that has happened.

The noble concubine from Chaoyang Palace has actually risen eleven levels and has become the head of Weirui Palace. Now, everyone in the harem has to call her Gao Shurong when they see her.

But those in the harem who knew the ins and outs of the matter knew that the emperor had deliberately suppressed Chaoyang Palace before, so he gave her the title of "noble concubine". Now, she has been promoted eleven levels, which just happens to be in line with the status of Chaoyang Palace.

Wang Shuyi has always been the only one in the harem, and her position is the highest. Gao Shiyi has been on an equal footing with her in such a short time since he entered the palace. How can she swallow this breath! Moreover, because her appearance is not outstanding, she hates the same sex with delicate appearance the most. When she accidentally saw Shiyi's fairy-like beauty, she couldn't stand her. She took the initiative to provoke Shi Yi several times, but failed to get anything good, and hated Shi Yi to death. Maybe because she suffered too much and learned a little bit of wisdom, she has been pretending to be sick and closed the palace gates to discuss with her trusted palace maids how to overthrow her!

Wang Shuyi stayed indoors, and Shi Yi had a rare quiet time. He felt it was very interesting to enjoy the scenery and listen to music in the Weirui Palace.

As for the emperor, he was very irritable because of the sudden riot at the border, and he hadn't set foot in the harem for a long time.

When Prince Zhaoyang entered the palace to report the border war, he accidentally glanced at the woman standing under the tree when passing by the imperial garden.

With just one glance, he couldn't take his eyes off and couldn't move his feet.

The pomegranates on the tall trees were flourishing like fire, and the beauty stood under them in a light pink dress, which amazed his eyes and made him think of "The peach tree is young and bright. The daughter is married, and she is suitable for her family."

Shi Yi wore a pink dress today on a whim. She heard from Masako, who served her in the palace, that the pomegranate flowers in the imperial garden were in full bloom, so she came here to enjoy the scenery. But she felt the burning gaze behind her after standing under the tree for a while. She hesitated in her heart whether to turn back or not?

Then she turned back.

She clearly saw the surprise flash in the eyes of King Zhaoyang behind her, and then he bowed to her and hurriedly said goodbye.

She is not a cannibal! The way King Zhaoyang quickly pulled away, it seemed that she was a witch who would be bewitched by her if she looked at her one more time.

However, when she walked forward, she did not get King Zhaoyang's handsomeness, but today he was wearing a dark blue robe, which set off his body proportions very well, and the sense of heroic spirit came to her face, which made her feel bright.

King Zhaoyang's eyes were as bright as torches, and he was trying his best to control his steps and not to lose his composure.

He always knew that Gao Shiyi was extremely beautiful, but he claimed that he did not judge people by appearance, so although he cared about her life, he never judged her by her appearance. But now, he seemed to regret it a little.

Such a heart-warming woman was sent to the palace by him.

No, he was about to marry his sweetheart, how could he think of other women!

His sweetheart, lively and pretty, although occasionally spoiled, was very kind to him. If his grandmother had not accidentally discovered her mother's scandal and revealed her true identity, he would not have known the rumor that "whoever gets Xueyang Valley gets the world". But he only liked her who was with him day and night, but he was not moved by these rumors. At the beginning, he only hoped that his brother would be able to marry Shuang'er to him, but he was afraid that his brother would know the rumors and force his Shuang'er into the palace, which made him feel embarrassed. Who knew that Gao Shiyi had taken the initiative to enter the palace for Shuang'er after he hesitated. Now, there was no obstacle between him and Shuang'er.

It was just a pity that his grandmother had to suffer. For the sake of Chaoyang Palace, for him, and for the legitimacy of Shuang'er's identity, his grandmother specially sent the old servant who had served in the family to the countryside with a large sum of money, and also completed the identity information of Gao Shiyi, the legitimate daughter of Chaoyang Palace, and fabricated an identity of an orphan from her mother's family for Shuang'er. Fortunately, Shuang'er had been weak and sickly when she was young, and had never seen any people. When she was in better health and reached the age of marriage, she was detained at home every day, so there was no trouble until now.

These thoughts only passed through his mind for a moment, and he remembered the "displaced and hungry" in the memorial, and immediately sobered up.

The people on this border are suffering! Emperor Ping is still waiting for him to report on the border war in Dayang Palace! He shook his head vigorously and threw away the messy thoughts in his mind.

As soon as Emperor Ping waited for Prince Zhaoyang to come, he immediately took his hand and came to his imperial table to ask about the situation of the border war.

For decades, the border market has been prosperous, so he thought that the border would continue to be stable and prosperous. However, he had already attracted the attention of the surrounding small countries, and they even united to start a riot. Because the riot at the border was too urgent and dangerous, not to mention him who was sitting high in the court, even the generals guarding the border could not detect any movement.

Prince Zhaoyang was a little absent-minded. How long had he not been so close to his brother? It seemed that when he was ten years old, after his mother passed away, he and his brother had become estranged invisibly, as if there was an invisible barrier separating them.

Before the age of ten, they were obviously good partners who recited books together, wrote articles together, and flew kites together.

"Wei Zhao, think about it for me. The situation at this border is complicated. Which general in the court should be sent to quell the rebellion?"

Emperor Ping was really worried about the rebellion at the border. If he had not had little practical experience, he would definitely go to the border to quell the rebellion and flatten the land of those provocative small countries!

Prince Zhaoyang felt the force on his arm suddenly relax, and he suddenly came to his senses. He immediately knelt down and begged: "Your humble servant is willing to volunteer to fight!"

Where Emperor Ping could not see, his heart was churning several times. His royal brother had not called him by his name for many years.

"Good! Good! Good!" Emperor Ping patted his shoulders three times, his eyes flashing with emotion and joy, "The people at the border are entrusted to you!"

Everyone praised his royal brother for his noble character and ability to govern the country and quell rebellions, and he believed in this wholeheartedly. Otherwise, he would not continue to let him be in charge of most of the court troops. But the people in the Chaoyang Palace were ambitious, and he really had to be on guard.

"Your humble servant will not fail in his mission!" Prince Zhaoyang knelt on one leg.

Emperor Ping personally helped him up, patted the dust off his knees, and said with great force: "Return safely."
