Lian Yiyi looked at the emperor's awe-inspiring appearance, her heart pounding, and she suddenly felt fear.
She gritted her teeth, took a deep breath and walked towards the emperor.
Just then, a strange wind blew in my face, and the osmanthus flowers on the tree fell down like rain.
Lian Yiyi's hairband was blown away by the wind, and she chased it all the way to the emperor before stopping.
"Who are you? How dare you disturb the emperor? You are so bold! Come and catch him!" The palace servant beside the emperor screamed.
Lian Yiyi knelt down several times in the direction of the emperor and said, "I deserve to die. I didn't mean to offend the emperor."
As soon as the emperor raised his hand, the guards who were about to capture Lian Yiyi stopped.
"Raise your head and let me see you." The emperor suddenly said.
Lian Yiyi lowered her head, her entire face buried in the shadows, and no one could see her expression clearly.
She curled the corners of her mouth quickly, it seems that this is a done deal!
When she raised her head and looked at the emperor, her eyes were bright and moist, like a frightened little rabbit.
When the emperor saw Lian Yiyi's face, he was stunned for a moment.
Looks like it, really looks like it!
The woman in front of him was just like Gu Wei back then. She came chasing a kite, but bumped into his heart and stayed with him for more than twenty years.
Although he felt strange, why would someone who looked so similar to Gu Wei suddenly appear in front of him and appeared in the same way as Gu Wei.
But he was completely distracted by the pitiful Lian Yiyi in front of him.
Concubine Gu Shu walked over and saw the emperor helping a woman up.
When she saw the woman's dress, she was stunned for a moment, then her eyes darkened, and she walked straight to the emperor and stopped.
The emperor looked at Gu Wei with some disappointment. He was so close to a woman who looked very similar to her, but it didn't even arouse the slightest jealousy in her.
"How dare this bold and unruly person offend the emperor? Come, arrest her for me." The queen shouted angrily.
Gu Wei alone made her life in the palace difficult. The emperor doted on Gu Wei too much, and even doted on Gu Wei's daughter.
All the concubines in the harem had to visit her every morning and evening, except Gu Wei and her daughter. However, she never dared to express any opinions in front of the emperor.
Now there's another person who looks like Gu Wei. Wouldn't that mean there's just one more person vying for her favor? She doesn't want that to happen!
The emperor turned his head and looked at the queen unhappily. This queen was very stupid. She could only yell and scream when something happened. Her methods of doing things were obviously and despicable. He disliked her very much.
But he still made her the queen, because among all his concubines, her family was the weakest and she was stupid, making her very easy to control.
"Shut up! Who told you to speak so loudly? You don't have the dignity of a queen mother at all." The emperor said unhappily.
The queen knew that the emperor was angry, so she knelt down and apologized to him.
The emperor snorted coldly and pulled Lian Yiyi forward.
Lian Yiyi wanted to pull her hand away: "Your Majesty, I didn't mean to offend you. Please let me go. If my father saw me like this, he would beat me to death when he got home."
The emperor looked at the panicked Lian Yiyi with pity and said, "Who is your father? I don't believe he dares to do anything reckless under my nose!"
It would be such a shame to kill such a beautiful lady.
Lian Yiyi did not dare to hide it and quickly told the emperor Lian Yan's identity.
Lian Yiyi thought to herself: Dad, you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. If anything happens to me or brings trouble to the family, it will be retribution. It was you who abandoned me in the Jingxin Nunnery and neglected me for so long. If I weren't smart, I'm afraid I would have died long ago.
Mrs. Lian searched for Lian Yiyi nearby for a long time but couldn't find her, and she couldn't help but get anxious. She wanted to tell Lian Yan but was afraid that Lian Yan would get angry and take his anger out on Lian Yiyi.
So she could only worry on her own.
"Didn't find it?" Xie Yunjiao's eyes flashed with sarcasm.
Mrs. Lian saw this and couldn't help but glared at Xie Yunjiao angrily and said, "What are you thinking? Yiyi is missing, and you are still acting so weird."
"You can't take care of people yourself, and you blame me?" Xie Yunjiao took out the cloak that Lian Yiyi had thrown aside from behind her. "I'm afraid she had it all planned, but it's hard to say what she did and whether it would endanger our family."
Mrs. Lian's expression suddenly changed when she saw Lian Yiyi's shawl: "How did Yiyi's shawl end up in your hands? What happened to Yiyi?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't ask you." Xie Yunjiao said.
"What's going on?" Lian Yan walked over when he saw that Xie Yunjiao and Mrs. Lian seemed to have some friction.
He saw the cloak in Xie Yunjiao's hand and his expression suddenly froze. He looked at Mrs. Lian and asked, "Where's Yiyi?"
"Yiyi, she...she..." Mrs. Lian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Suddenly, a scream was heard from the palace maids. The emperor and many concubines were about to come over. Lian Yan hurriedly stood up.
He straightened his clothes and said to Mrs. Lian in a low voice, "You didn't take good care of Yiyi. I'll settle the score with you when we get back."
As soon as Lian Yan finished speaking, the emperor and others came over.
When Lian Yan and the others finished their greetings and looked up at the emperor, many of them were visibly stunned.
"What... is going on?"
"Isn't that Lian Yan's daughter?"
Everyone looked in Lian Yan's direction.
Lian Yan almost lost face. The ridicule and envy in those people's eyes made him feel ashamed.
At this moment, he just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
The emperor sat down and let Lian Yiyi sit next to him. None of the concubines before him had received such treatment as her.
The queen sitting on the emperor's right was so angry that her eyes turned red and she couldn't utter a word.
The emperor first praised Xie Yunjiao, and then officially announced the status of Xie Yunjiao.
Xie Yunjiao stepped forward to express her gratitude and took the official uniform handed to her by the palace maid.
She thanked him again humbly and respectfully and returned to her seat.
The emperor suddenly ordered the palace servants to summon Lian Yan. Mrs. Lian's eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
Could it be that the emperor wants to settle accounts with them?
"Miss Lian Yiyi is a virtuous lady with a refined heart and great talent. The Emperor, by order of Heaven and Fortune, hereby proclaims that from today on, Lian Yiyi shall be appointed as Concubine Lian."
Lian Yan was a little confused and almost forgot to receive the order.
Lian Yiyi was named Lianpin as soon as she entered the palace, skipping the steps of selecting concubines and training, and was promoted to a high position in one step.
Although the people below didn't dare to say a word, their eyes were filled with shock.
The palace servant reminded him again, and Lian Yan said, "Thank you, my Lord, for your grace."
Mrs. Lian was ecstatic. If the emperor wasn't in front of so many people, she would have rushed over and hugged Lian Yiyi, screaming excitedly.
She had been worried for so long, and in the end Lian Yiyi succeeded overnight. How could she not be happy?
