He didn't want this woman to have any connection with Zhou Zeyun at all. He glanced at Zhou Zeyun who was watching the joke next to him. Her indifferent and nonchalant look made Zhou Beichen feel a lot more comfortable.
The woman in blue was named Liang Di. At this moment, she looked up, glanced at Concubine Liang, glanced at Zhou Beichen cautiously, and suddenly burst into tears in grievance.
"Your Majesty, this is all my fault. Ever since I came here, my elder sister has been very nice to me on the surface, but secretly, she doesn't like me. All this time, I've been doing the work of a servant by my elder sister's side. So, tonight, while my elder sister was out, I wanted to go to the Imperial Garden to relax. I stumbled upon His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. I... I was just too afraid to go back to my elder sister's place, so I resorted to this desperate measure. I wanted to stay by His Royal Highness's side and be a maid."
Zhou Beichen glanced at her calmly, his eyes narrowing dangerously. "Being a maid is fine, Concubine Liang, very good. You are clearly trying to trick my son. How did you know that if you stay with Prince Yan, you won't suffer?"
What is the status of Liangdi? Even if it is a small country, she is still a princess of a country. Now, she is a maid of Prince Yan. If this gets out, people will think that his son is abusing his power to bully others.
Liangdi couldn't help but tremble all over. She tried hard to look directly into Zhou Beichen's eyes, but was immediately defeated by his sinister and fierce gaze. Liangdi collapsed on the ground and shook her head several times.
"Your Majesty, I don't know. I really don't know what Your Majesty means."
This is pretending not to understand. Shen Nian'an sneered repeatedly from behind, "You grew up in the palace. I don't believe you don't understand why you intercepted my son in the Imperial Garden today."
Shaking his sleeves, Shen Nian'an stood up, and with the support of Aunt Xu, he slowly walked towards Liang Di, looking down at her condescendingly, warning her word by word.
"Liang Di, I'm telling you, whether the Prince of Yan is a concubine, a principal wife, or a concubine, it can never be you. Forget about that idea. Besides, the Prince of Yan's mansion has countless maids, and they don't need a precious princess like you."
Liang Di was in a dilemma. She had intercepted Prince Yan in the Imperial Garden today and wanted to strike while the iron was hot. She had chased him so anxiously and begged to be Prince Yan's maid. For the sake of Prince Yan's face, the Emperor, Concubine Hui, would give her a position as a concubine even if she was unwilling. In order to shut up the gossips of the world, she might even give her a position as a concubine. However, she didn't expect that.
Concubine Liang's face darkened early on. This silly Concubine Liang, what kind of occasion is this? Given Zhou Beichen's personality, would he allow her to make a scene here?
Liangdi lowered her head, her big eyes rolling around happily. When one plan failed, she came up with another. Her body tilted and she fell to the ground in pain.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Shen Nian’an said coldly.
Liang Di's eyes were still rolling violently. Then, she raised her head pitifully. A tear fell from the corner of her eye, leaving a trail on her fair skin. She collapsed to the ground powerlessly, looking extremely delicate, which inevitably aroused people's sympathy.
Liangdi desperately grabbed the corner of Shen Nian'an's clothes and spoke bitterly.
"Empress Hui, although I am a princess from another country, I am just a little maid in your sister's place. My life is really too hard. Today in the Imperial Garden, I fell in love with His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan at first sight. I beg Your Majesty, Empress Hui, to consider that I am far away in a foreign country and not favored by your sister. I am all alone and helpless. Please allow me to leave the palace with His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. I do not ask to be his concubine. Even if I am just a maid, I am willing and have no regrets."
After saying this, Liangdi straightened her body with a determined look on her face.
Zhou Zeyun: “…”
His brows twitched, and he really felt that this Concubine Liang must have some serious brain disease. He was only eleven years old, how could he have a concubine?
Shen Nian'an couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Although in this dynasty, boys had to have a maid at the age of twelve since ancient times, but subconsciously, she didn't want her son to harm other girls like that.
It is impossible to be a couple for a lifetime, and it is impossible to be alone forever, so it is possible to have only one wife and a few concubines.
"No, Father, Mother, I don't want to. I'm only eleven years old, how can I take a concubine? Moreover, I can't let Princess Liangdi down."
In desperation, Zhou Zeyun actually ran to Zhou Beichen and wanted to kneel down.
After a pause, Zhou Beichen helped his son up. He stood up, but scared Concubine Liang, who had been watching the show silently and calling her sister stupid. Fearing that Zhou Beichen would get angry and really punish her sister, Concubine Liang rushed out and knelt in front of Zhou Beichen, admitting her guilt and asking for forgiveness.
"Your Majesty, Liang Di's behavior today is all because I, as a sister, didn't do my job well. I made Liang Di think that I didn't like her and treated her like a palace maid. It was my fault. I was jealous that I had stayed here alone for so many years, so my parents sent my sister here. This matter was all caused by me. My sister has been spoiled by my parents since she was a child. She has a simple mind. This time she didn't want to fly up to the branches and become a phoenix. She just wanted to go out of the palace and live a carefree life. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and spare my sister for the sake of my years of careful service."
Zhou Beichen stopped where he was, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes. After a long time, he nodded lightly.
"Since that's the case, then, Liangdi will be given the title of Noble Lady and granted the residence of Qing'an Palace."
After hearing these words, Liangdi was distraught and her body could not help but tremble slightly. She felt resentful and dissatisfied in her heart, but under the majestic gaze of the emperor, she dared not say it out loud. She could only fall to the ground and kowtow to express her gratitude.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace. Long live the emperor!"
Why? The emperor is already an adult, with many children and concubines. She wants to stay with Prince Yan and slowly soften his heart. Her original intention is to bring down Prince Yan and kill him.
She suddenly became the emperor's concubine...
Not only Liangdi was dumbfounded, but also Liangfei. She also showed mercy with a forced smile.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness to my sister, but I would like to ask Your Majesty for another favor. I have realized my mistakes and should not have treated my sister so badly. Please allow her to live with me."
"this......"
Zhou Beichen's face darkened and he looked a little embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, please, I will definitely change my ways and never be jealous of my sister again."
"Well, then."
With a triumphant smile on his face, Zhou Beichen stretched out his hand and placed it in front of Concubine Liang.
