Chapter 136 Is he the kind of person who falls in love with every girl he meets?
Sikong Yu threw the problem of choosing a concubine back to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was also a shrewd person and did not make a decision immediately.
She looked at Lin Qianqian, then at Qiao Lingxuan, and said gently, "Since you can't choose one for a while, just eat well and think about it carefully. After all, it is a major event in a lifetime, and we can't decide our whole life at a glance, right?"
Then she said to the two girls standing there, "I ate too much and want to go digest the food. You two should accompany me."
"Yes."
Lin Qianqian and Qiao Lingxuan, one on each side, supported the Queen Mother and left the table.
Shen Chaoyan looked at their backs, and the gossip gene in his heart moved again: [Heavenly Book, come on, let's guess, who will become the Princess of Jing? 】
Heavenly Book: 【Host, guess first.】
Shen Chaoyan: 【I guess it's Lin Qianqian. She stole a few glances at Sikong Yu just now.】
In her previous life, she was an entertainment reporter. She has a keen sense of smell and is very observant of matters between men and women.
Lin Qianqian has been staring at Sikong Yu. She must be interested in him.
Qiao Lingxuan, on the other hand, kept her head down from beginning to end. She looks like a reserved and well-behaved girl.
Heavenly Book: 【This Heavenly Book's guess is exactly the opposite of the host's. I think Qiao Lingxuan should become the Princess of Jing.】
Shen Chaoyan: 【Okay, let's wait for the result.】
On the other side, the Queen Mother took Lin Qianqian and Qiao Lingxuan for a leisurely stroll in the garden of the Hot Spring Palace.
The Queen Mother did not beat around the bush with them, "I asked you to come here today because I want to choose a queen for King Jing. What do you two think?"
Lin Qianqian turned her head to look at Qiao Lingxuan, but did not respond immediately.
Qiao Lingxuan hesitated for a moment, with a shy look on her face, "Queen Mother, I am willing to marry King Jing."
Although her father is a great scholar, he is an honest official, and she is the youngest in the family, so she is not valued by her father.
Sikong Yugui is a prince, and if she can marry into King Jing's mansion, her status will suddenly be much more noble than her sisters. When she
returns home in the future, the elders in the family will also look up to her.
"Miss Lin, what about you?"
When the Queen Mother looked at Lin Qianqian again, her tone became a little more intimate.
Lin Qianqian's mother is a cousin of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager had intended to have Lin Qianqian enter the palace.
But at that time, Sikong Yan's foundation was unstable, and the court was in turmoil.
Duke Anguo was particularly concerned about this granddaughter, and let her claim illness and miss the selection.
However, the Duke Anguo's family was too picky, and they had been looking for a husband for her for half a year, but they had never found one they liked.
Now she is seventeen years old, and the marriage can no longer be delayed.
This time, Duke Anguo personally begged the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager remembered that she had missed the opportunity to enter the palace due to illness, so she took the opportunity to take a hot spring bath in the temporary palace and brought her over.
Lin Qianqian met the empress dowager's gaze and immediately expressed her opinion, "Empress Dowager, a gentleman does not take away other people's love. Sister Xuan likes Prince Jing, and I am naturally happy to help her."
The empress dowager was very satisfied with her answer, "Okay, Qiao is smart and lively, and she is indeed a good match for Yu'er. As for Lin, I like you very much. Why don't you come with me into the palace and stay in the palace to serve the emperor in the future. Are you willing?"
These words hit Lin Qianqian's heart, and she hurriedly thanked her, "I am willing."
"This matter is settled. In the next few days, you can rest assured to soak in the hot springs in the palace and get along well with each other. It would be better for you young people to communicate more and get to know each other sooner."
...
When Shen Chaoyan got the news, he was taking a nap in the villa of the palace.
After she got the news from the Heavenly Book, she was not too surprised: [You are the Heavenly Book, I shouldn't have bet with you. But I didn't expect that the Queen Mother also took a concubine for the tyrant. ]
Heavenly Book: [Lin Qianqian is very cunning. She was worried that the tyrant would not be able to sit firmly on the throne of the emperor, so she deliberately didn't go to the selection. Now that she sees that the tyrant is sitting more and more firmly on the throne, she has the idea of entering the harem again. After all, the Anguo Mansion is no longer as good as before with only her grandfather's support. And now the position of the queen is still vacant. Once she enters the palace and wins the heart of the tyrant and seizes the time to give birth to a dragon son, maybe she can enter the central palace. 】
Shen Chaoyan: 【Lin Qianqian is a person who knows how to choose the right time. The tyrant’s impotence had just been cured, and she caught up. 】
Tianshu: 【Host, won’t you be jealous? 】
Shen Chaoyan: 【The tyrant is the emperor. Even if Lin Qianqian doesn’t enter the harem, there will be Lin Shenshen in the future. I can’t be jealous. 】
She had this realization long before entering the palace.
The tyrant was impotent at the time, and she happened to be his shield, so everyone thought she was favored.
But! She must not have the illusion that the tyrant only likes her and belongs only to her.
Her most important task is to make money. If she can’t live in the harem in the future, she will take her sister Xue with her and escape.
When Sikong Yan walked into the villa, he heard Shen Chaoyan brewing her escape plan in her heart.
The man's handsome face darkened and he snorted sourly in his heart.
This woman, can't she have a little confidence in him.
Is he the kind of person who falls in love with every man he meets?
Moreover, if she wants to run away, she can just run away by herself, why should she take Xue Youran with her?
Could it be that in her heart, her status is not as good as that of Xue Youran?
"Cough!"
Shen Chaoyan heard the cough coming from the door and immediately stood up and saluted, "Your Highness."
Sikong Yan sat down in front of the bed and took her into his arms, "Take a hot spring bath with me tonight?"
"Okay."
Shen Chaoyan agreed without hesitation.
The hot spring pool where the emperor soaks is the largest and most spacious, and it must be very comfortable to soak in it.
Tianshu: [Host, don't be too happy too soon. When you soak in the hot spring at night, Lin Qianqian will secretly come to the tyrant's hot spring pool.]
Since the Queen Mother agreed to let her enter the palace, she certainly wants to attract Sikong Yan's attention before entering the palace.
Shen Chaoyan: [Okay, wouldn't it be more fun to have more fun when soaking in the hot spring?]
In the evening, after dinner, everyone began to have free activities.
Shen Chaoyan took Lugua for a walk in the garden for a while, and after digesting the food, she changed her clothes and prepared to go to the hot spring.
There are many hot springs on Tangshan Mountain, and there is at least one hot spring pool in each villa.
And in the main garden where Sikong Yan is located, there are a total of three hot spring pools, all connected together.
One hot spring pool is built under the rockery, and from a distance, it looks like a hidden cave.
The cave is surrounded by rockery on all sides, and it must be very warm to soak in the hot spring.
The other two are Chinese medicine hot springs with Chinese medicine added in advance and rose hot springs with rose petals added in advance.
Shen Chaoyan came to Sikong Yan's garden, and looking at the misty hot spring water, Shen Chaoyan's eyes lit up.
She squatted by the pool and stretched out her hand to test the water.
The water in the pool is warm and clear, and it feels comfortable just to look at it.
Shen Chaoyan thought about it, chose a pool sprinkled with rose petals, and sat in.
The temperature of the spring water was suitable. Shen Chaoyan sat in the water and felt comfortable after soaking for a while.
She squinted her eyes, leaned against the edge of the pool, and enjoyed it comfortably.
At this moment, a deep male voice came to her ears, "My beloved, why don't you ask me to soak with you?"
Shen Chaoyan was startled and instinctively raised her hand to cover her chest.
Sikong Yan stood by the pool, looking at her frightened look, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Don't block it, where on your body have I not seen?"
