Chapter 9 Summoning Concubine An
"Your Majesty, have some tea." Feng Ying carefully brought the tea in with the palace servants. She glanced at the emperor's face intentionally or unintentionally, hesitating whether to say something. Please remember our
“Just say whatever you want to say.” How come everyone has learned to be hesitant to speak? It’s annoying to see them.
"Your Majesty, were you the one who asked the Queen to kneel outside the door? I am being nosy. I just wanted to ask, it's almost lunch time, will you eat here?" Feng Ying lowered her head after she finished speaking, not daring to look at the emperor's expression any longer. Naturally, she did not notice that the emperor's already bad complexion became even worse.
Qian He Liyou glanced at the door unintentionally. What does it mean to kneel outside the door and say "Luo Weiqing"?
"Prepare lunch in half an hour. I will not see anyone during this time."
"yes"
Half an hour later, Feng Ying and her waiters prepared lunch and respectfully invited the emperor to eat.
"Is the queen still here?" Qian Heliyou asked intentionally or unintentionally while sitting at the table.
"In reply to the emperor, the queen is still here." What happened to the emperor and the queen? The queen knelt outside the door for half an hour. I guess the whole palace knows about it. This palace has the most secrets, but it is also the place with the least secrets.
Qianhe Liyou said nothing and ate a few mouthfuls of food slowly. She didn't need these things in the first place, she just didn't want to be too weird.
After finishing the meal and waiting for the servants to leave, Qianhe Liyou stood up and walked out the door.
"Your Majesty" saluted the palace servant guarding outside the door, and also reminded the people kneeling outside the door. Luo Weiqing was shocked, but still knelt on the ground without looking up.
"I didn't ask you to kneel here. What do you mean?" Qianhe Liyou walked in front of Luo Weiqing and said coldly.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have no intention of doing anything. I just hope that you can keep the child." In the past hour, he had already made up his mind. Even if it would anger the emperor or bring about his punishment, he would stick to what he insisted on. He had endured long enough in this palace, and he didn't want to endure this matter any longer.
"How dare you! Do you think I will agree if you kneel here?"
"Of course not, I am just asking."
"I have also said that I do not agree, so what is the meaning of you still kneeling here?"
Hearing the emperor's words, Luo Weiqing pursed her lips tightly, and was silent for a while before slowly but firmly saying: "I just want to insist on what I want, do my best and leave the rest to fate. I kneel here and ask the emperor to change his mind."
“What if I never change?”
"Then I will kneel here forever."
"Okay, very good, Luo Weiqing, my queen, I finally understand why you are not liked by others. Since you want to kneel here, I will grant your wish." Let him kneel if he likes. Does he think he can threaten her like this? It's ridiculous.
Qian Heliyou said this and turned back into the house, leaving Luo Weiqing kneeling on the ground and the frightened palace servants filling the courtyard.
"Queen, why are you doing this? Whatever the emperor says is what it is. Why do you have to argue with him? Besides, that man's child, just like what the emperor said, may not be the case if he is left behind..." Feng Ying finally softened her heart. Seeing the emperor go in, she could not help but say this in the queen's ear.
Luo Weiqing said nothing, just knelt there.
Soon it was night, and the sun left behind a dim shadow when it set. The palace servants who came and went prepared dinner. Qianhe Liyou sat alone at the table, and once again thought of Luo Weiqing. That man had been kneeling there, not eating or drinking for a whole day. Although he didn't ask, Feng Ying would always report it every once in a while, which made her upset.
"Feng Ying."
"Your Majesty, what do you want?"
"Arrange someone for me to sleep with you at night." In her memory, this should have been a very normal thing in the past. Although she had never thought about it, Luo Weiqing's actions today suddenly made her think of it. Maybe she should use practical actions to tell Luo Weiqing that he is not special, and he should not try to do anything special to test her.
"Your Majesty, which lady do you want to sleep with you?" Feng Ying asked quickly, although she was a little surprised.
"It's up to you." The concubines in the harem are headed by Queen Luo Weiqing, followed by Noble Concubine Ning Qin Ning, followed by Noble Concubine An Murong Xuanhe and the demon concubine Situ Hongyu who has been imprisoned in the Sky Prison. The above are noble concubines. In addition, there are three noble ladies, namely Noble Lady Yun Yun Tailing, Noble Lady Li Li Qujun, and Noble Lady Luo Luo Xingchen. Luo Xingchen and Luo Weiqing are cousins. She entered the palace two years later than Luo Weiqing. In addition to these concubines and noble ladies with titles, there are also several palace servants who have been favored by the emperor once or twice. Since she has no impression of them in her memory, she just knows about them.
"How about letting Concubine An come?" Feng Ying has always been serving the emperor. The emperor does not like the queen, and will not summon Concubine Ning to sleep with him. The evil concubine was imprisoned in the sky prison, so naturally he thought of Concubine An Murong Xuanhe.
"Yeah." Qianhe Liyou didn't have much objection.
Soon, Concubine An arrived. Feng Ying announced it and Qian He Li You just nodded without looking up from the book.
"Your Highness, long live the emperor." There was nervous fear in the clear voice. Qian Heliyou looked up when she heard it. This was not the first time she saw this petite man, but it was a time she looked more carefully. This man was about the same height as her. Men here are generally taller than women, and their physical appearance does not change because of the female dominance. However, due to the social system, many people also like this kind of petite man, and Murong Xuanhe should be the best among them. He is petite and delicate with a soft beauty, which makes people feel pity for him.
However, this man was probably the most miserable one among all the concubines in the harem. The softer and more sympathetic he was, the more people wanted to destroy him. She could understand why her soul would choose this petite man in front of her, but when she thought about those cruel scenes now, she felt a little bit unbearable.
"Yeah." She didn't want to embarrass the child. He was only eighteen and was really just a child to her.
Qianhe Liyou did not say anything, but Murong Xuanhe, who was kneeling on the ground, began to move with a pale face. He did not stand up, but began to take off his clothes while kneeling on the ground. The light green long gown slid down gently, revealing his snow-white skin. However, the scattered marks on the skin were shocking. These were the marks left when he was favored by the emperor in the past.
Qian He Li You watched the boy in front of him take off his clothes with trembling hands, and his face became paler and paler.
Without asking, she knew why he did this. In this regard, all she could say was that the previous emperor had educated her too well.
After taking off his clothes, Murong Xuanhe was left with only a pair of white underwear, half naked, with long hair loose, looking indescribably tempting. He glanced at the emperor with timid eyes, but found that the emperor was just looking at him with a cold face. He couldn't help but feel even more terrified, but then he remembered the emperor's "teachings" before, gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground, and crawled little by little to the emperor's feet.
"Your Majesty, would you like me to start serving you?" Murong Xuanhe asked in a trembling voice.
"Lie down on the bed and close your eyes." Qianhe Liyou said, pointing at the dragon couch beside him.
"Yes." Murong Xuanhe shuddered all over, but got on the bed very obediently, and lay down with his eyes closed. His half-naked body was not covered at all, and his long black hair hung down to the ground along the dragon bed.
He didn't know if he could make it through the night. Every time he went to bed with the emperor, he would lie upright and walk sideways. It would be impossible for him to get up without recuperating for half a month afterwards. There were several times when he almost couldn't get up forever. Sometimes he would think, how great it would be if he really couldn't get up. He wouldn't have to live here anymore, in this place that was like hell to him.
