Chapter 20: The Prince Requests an Audience
"Your Majesty, the prince wants to see you. Please remember our website."
Qianhe Liyou had just retired from the morning court and was sitting in the imperial study when Feng Ying came to report that although this Prince was a prince, he had no real power and did not participate in the morning court, so he could only seek an audience outside the imperial study.
"Announce." She didn't need to think to know the purpose of this prince's visit to her, but she wanted to hear how this woman would start.
Thinking of this, a bloodthirsty cold light flashed in Qianhe Liyou's eyes. As a person with a strong possessiveness, she would never allow others to covet her things, and this of course included "people".
"Your Highness, long live the emperor."
"What do you want to see me for?" Qianhe Liyou didn't want to waste time and asked directly.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, I haven't paid my respects to you for a while. I am here to pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."
"Then it's okay." After taking a sip of the tea brewed by Concubine Yun, he found that it had a faint medicinal flavor and tasted very good. While Qian He Liyou was speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Concubine Yun Yun Tailing who was standing beside him.
"Well, I do have a small request." Qianhe Zongya stopped here and looked at the emperor's expression carefully, but found that the emperor had no expression and no question, so she continued awkwardly: "Your Majesty, you made Qin Ning your concubine in order to repay her for saving your life. I heard from the palace servants that you didn't like Qin Ning very much and didn't favor him. You see, I like Qin Ning very much. Your Majesty, can you give Qin Ning to me? I promise that I will treat him well and will not let you down."
In this dynasty, it was very common to give one's husband, concubine, or male favorite to other people. The emperor had given his favored male servants to other people before, so Qianhe Zongya dared to make such a bold request.
After hearing the expected words, Qianhe Liyou was not surprised. Instead, Yun Tailing, who was serving on the side, looked up at Qianhe Liyou in surprise.
"Go and summon Concubine Qin." She now wanted to see how the man would react.
Everyone waited for a moment, and then Qin Ning came. With just a glance, she seemed to understand everything.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Qin Ning remained cold and arrogant.
"Prince Enzong, please say what you just said again and let my Concubine An hear it." Qianhe Liyou said to Qianhe Zongya meaningfully.
Qianhe Zongya didn't think too much about it. Ever since Qin Ning came in, her eyes had never left Qin Ning. Her heart and eyes were full of him.
"Ning'er, I have already told the Emperor to give you to me. I really like you. I have already said this before. Ning'er, please promise me."
After hearing Qianhe Zongya's words, Qin Ning looked at Qianhe Liyou in disbelief, and asked in a questioning tone: "Your Majesty, have you really promised the prince?" How could this be possible?
"If you are willing, I will consider it." She never said anything from beginning to end, and even this sentence was full of reservations.
"I refuse." Qin Ning was obviously in a bad mood. She didn't even call herself a concubine anymore. She said the word "reject" very straightforwardly. Qianhe Zong Ya, this woman, kept pestering him. He wished he could stay away from her. How could he possibly agree?
"Ning'er, don't be so stubborn. I have already said it before, this place is not suitable for you at all. Why don't you agree to go with me?" Qianhe Zongya was very annoyed by Qin Ning's stubbornness. What's so good about this palace? The emperor is simply a tyrant. She didn't believe that Qin Ning would be willing to stay here.
"Whether it is suitable or not is not up to you, Your Majesty. I will never be willing to go with someone else. Please remember what you promised me and don't break your promise."
"Your Majesty, Ning'er is just so stubborn. I really like Ning'er. Please grant my wish, Your Majesty."
Qin Ning and Qianhe Zongya looked at Qianhe Liyou with firm eyes. They were not ordinary people. Their words and meanings could determine the fate of many people, but their own fate was also in the hands of others.
"Qin Ning, you really don't want to go with him?" To these people, the palace is not a good place. If she puts herself in their shoes, she will not choose to stay here. However, she will not choose to leave with this woman either. Even if this woman really likes Qin Ning, how long can this sincerity last? She will not be foolish enough to entrust her life to someone else.
"Really" As early as when he chose to enter the palace with the emperor, he had decided to spend the rest of his life in this palace. This palace may not be a suitable place to live for other people, but the emperor had an agreement with him. He saved the emperor who was assassinated while traveling outside, and the emperor promised to marry him as a concubine and would not force him to do anything he did not like to do. After he came to the palace, the emperor always did as promised. He practiced sword and read books on weekdays, occasionally played the flute and painted, and lived a very quiet life, which made him almost forget the bad memories, the forced marriage by his family, the coercion of his parents, and that disgusting woman. All of this has become a thing of the past. He never regretted his choice and never thought about leaving here.
"Your Majesty" Qian He Zong Ya was unwilling and looked at the emperor anxiously.
"You, shut up, Qianhe Zongya, who do you think you are? What do you think my man is? You want it just because you want it. Do you really take me seriously?" Qianhe Liyou's suppressed anger finally erupted. No matter her stubbornness or possessiveness, she would not allow anyone to get their hands on what belongs to her.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I didn't know what was going on. I..." Qianhe Zongya was already confused by the emperor's anger and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
"I warn you, I can pretend that I didn't hear what you said to me today, but don't give me the chance to hear it again, otherwise I won't give you another chance. Besides, this man belongs to me. If I know that someone is thinking about my man, then don't blame me for being rude." Qianhe Liyou's angry tone made everyone present feel terrified, and even their breathing almost stopped. You dare to make any extra sound.
"And you, since you are my man, no matter in name or by any agreement, don't do anything that makes me unhappy. I don't need to teach you how to write the word chastity." She knew that this man was innocent and hadn't done anything out of line, but that didn't mean she wouldn't blame this man. She wouldn't punish him, but a verbal warning was still necessary.
Qin Ning had been keeping a cold expression since he came in. Even when the emperor warned the prince, he only showed a hint of surprise. But the emperor's last words really made him feel a little embarrassed, and his face turned pale instantly.
