Chapter 17 The tyrant's shocking news!
The concubines quickly stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, your servants are here to see you!"
"No need to be polite."
Sikong Yan didn't even glance at the concubines when he passed by them.
Shen Chaoyan was standing in a relatively remote position. When she looked up, a tall figure in a bright yellow dragon robe flashed past her.
The man was very tall, at least 1.85 meters tall. He stepped into the hall with long legs and walked towards the empress dowager without looking away.
[Wow! Nice legs! ]
Shen Chaoyan was attracted by the man's long legs at first sight.
She looked up along the man's legs.
[Tsk tsk tsk... nice waist! ]
[I didn't expect the tyrant to have such a charming figure! 】
In the hall, Sikong Yan, with a stern face, was about to
pay his respects to the empress dowager, but his body suddenly paused and he stopped without warning. The next moment, he turned his head, and his eyes as dark as the night examined the concubines in the hall.
Did he hear someone talking just now?
Not sure.
Listen again.
【Wow! 】
【From behind, his back is already a killer! I didn't expect this face to be even more amazing! He is so handsome that it abhors both humans and gods! It's so tragic! 】
When Shen Chaoyan saw Sikong Yan's face clearly, a high-pitched woodchuck scream came out in his heart.
This face is very young, with handsome features, slender eyebrows and eyes, and a high nose bridge. It is a 360-degree appearance without dead ends.
[Sikong Yan, 21 years old, young emperor, suspicious by nature, cruel and tyrannical.]
After reading the character profile, Shen Chaoyan couldn't help but sigh.
[Who would have thought that this handsome guy with a wolfish and cute appearance is actually a tyrant without any humanity!]
[What's worse is that he was killed by his third brother before he had been emperor for a full year. His head was hung on the city gate and was cursed by the world!]
[When the crisis in her family is completely resolved, she will find a way to get away, and her family will leave the capital and live a carefree life!]
Who is talking nonsense?
Sikong Yan's sharp eyes scanned the hall, and saw that the concubines all stood with their heads bowed in obedience, and the maids and eunuchs serving in the hall were motionless, and there was nothing unusual.
Strange, where did the sound come from?
"What is the emperor looking at?"
Sikong Yan was trying to find the source of the sound when he heard the Queen Mother's question from behind.
His eyes narrowed, and he looked away as if nothing had happened, "I am naturally looking at the beauty. Thank you, mother, for taking the trouble to organize the selection for me, which has made the harem more beautiful."
"The emperor is diligent in government affairs, so I naturally have to worry more about the affairs of the harem. I hope the emperor can get closer to the concubines and give birth to a prince as soon as possible."
Sikong Shen nodded in agreement, then pointed to the concubines standing next to him and said to the queen mother, "Mother, since everyone is here, shouldn't we start the feast?" The
queen mother nodded and said to everyone, "Sit down and serve the food."
"Yes."
With the queen mother's order, the dinner officially began.
The palace maids presented delicious dishes one after another.
Quail cooked with flowers, stir-fried lamb tongue, braised geese tripe, bird's nest duck, pearl tofu, crab meat bamboo shoots, cuttlefish soup...
the table was filled with delicious dishes, exuding an alluring aroma.
Shen Chaoyan was of low status, so how could her meals be so rich?
She rubbed her hands and was about to start eating when she heard the sound of turning pages of the heavenly book in her mind.
[Ding! Host, I just detected a super big melon about the tyrant. Do you want to eat it?]
Shen Chaoyan: [Of course, I'm waiting for dinner! Hurry up!]
Heavenly Book: [The tyrant is impotent.]
[!!!]
Shen Chaoyan didn't have time to swallow the meat in her mouth and almost choked herself.
Is it fake?
The king of a country can't have sex?
I don't believe it!
Heavenly Book: [Host, this Heavenly Book is absolutely professional in gossip. As long as the information provided by this Heavenly Book is absolutely true and reliable. ]
[As an emperor with three thousand beauties in the harem, he can't enjoy the gentle countryside. The original author is really lacking in virtue! 】
"Sister Shen," just when Shen Chaoyan was concentrating on eating the tyrant's big melon, Xie Cairen invited her, "Let's also toast to the emperor and the empress dowager!"
Shen Chaoyan refused, "I can't hold my liquor, so I won't join in the fun." Xie
Cairen didn't quite believe it, "Don't you want to see the emperor up close?"
Shen Chaoyan replied, "We are all in the palace now, and there will be many opportunities to see the emperor in the future."
Seeing that she was so passive, Xie Cairen rolled his eyes at her, "Then you continue to rest, I'll go find Wanpin together!"
The Wanpin she was talking about was Shen Qingwan.
Shen Qingwan was indeed quite capable. She had just entered the palace not long ago, and she seemed to get along well with every concubine in the harem.
Shen Chaoyan had no interest in competing for favors. Now that she knew the tyrant's secret, she could only sigh when she saw the concubines trying their best to attract the tyrant's attention.
What good would it do them?
The tyrant is good-looking but useless!
As expected, Xie Cairen dragged Shen Qingwan to toast the empress dowager and the emperor.
Other concubines followed suit, hoping to show their faces in front of him so that they could be called to serve him in bed as soon as possible.
Huifei and Shufei were both sitting beside the empress dowager. As the two concubines who had been in the palace the longest, they did not show any jealousy on their faces when they saw the newcomers entering the palace. Instead, they chatted and laughed with the empress dowager in a friendly manner.
Lipin, the daughter of the Grand Tutor, had not been able to get a word in, but finally could not sit still any longer, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, I have learned to play the zither since I was young, and I would like to play a piece of music for you, Your Majesty, and wish you good health and happiness."
Xianfei, the daughter of the Prime Minister, was the most senior among the young ladies selected to enter the palace.
She knew Lipin outside the palace.
At this time, she stood up, unwilling to be left behind, "Just listening to the music is too monotonous, I will dance with you."
Sikong Yan replied casually, "Okay."
Both of them had prepared their talents long ago, and a palace maid immediately brought the zither, and soon they started to dance vigorously.
Sikong Yan had been silently paying attention to these new concubines since he heard the strange female voice floating in the palace.
Unfortunately, the sound of stringed instruments in the palace continued, and the concubines were talking to each other enthusiastically, and the noise in his ears made him unable to find out who had just said that he was impotent.
"Emperor, what do you think of Concubine Xian's dancing and Concubine Li's playing?"
Sikong Yan heard the Queen Mother's question and regained his composure, "Of course they are very good."
The Queen Mother smiled gently, "Since the Emperor likes them, choose one of them to sleep with him tonight."
Sikong Yan raised his eyelids, glanced at the two women who were performing hard, and said lightly, "Concubine Xian's dancing is beautiful, you will sleep with him tonight."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian thanked him with a face full of joy, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The
faces of the other concubines present changed, some were envious and some were jealous.
The Prime Minister was already highly valued by Sikong Yan, so Concubine Xian's position was higher than others when she entered the palace.
If she gave birth to a prince first, I'm afraid the position of Empress would belong to her!
Shen Chaoyan looked at the concubines' sour eyes and sighed softly, "What's there to be happy about being picked by an inhumane tyrant? These stupid women! 】
But she was really curious, when the virtuous concubine was sleeping with him, how would the tyrant hide the truth? Would he use his hands? Use the jade ancestor? Or find a substitute to help him do the favors of the concubine after the lights were turned off?
No matter which method it was, it seemed very exciting!
I don't know if the heavenly book can be broadcast live, even if there is only a text version, she doesn't mind!
After all, she has a rich imagination and can fill in the pictures in her mind based on the text!
