Chapter 162 Men are fickle
Mo Cangyan stood up and looked at her with eyes so cold that it seemed as if he wanted to freeze her to death.
He squeezed out fiercely from between his teeth: "Feng Xiyao, you can do it!"
After saying that, he turned around and left without mercy.
"Mo Cangyan, please listen to my explanation!"
Feng Xiyao also stood up quickly and hugged him from behind.
The man had been suppressing his anger ever since he heard the news from Xiao Feng. Now this slap woke him up, and he couldn't control his murderous urge at all.
He broke free from Feng Xiyao's tightly embraced hands and threw her away.
"You don't want me, but there are people waiting for me!"
Feng Xiyao staggered after being pushed, and when she looked up again, he had already walked out of the bedroom. She ran out after him, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say...
After Mo Cangyan returned to the Purple Gold Palace, Eunuch Hai felt the fatal pressure head-on.
Knowing that the person who could have made him so angry must be the Queen, he could not help but sigh. Are these two people competing to see who has a harder heart?
Mo Cang's temples were throbbing with anger and he pinched his eyebrows.
"Bring the things over here, I want to flip the cards!"
Eunuch Hai was a little slow to react: "Ah?"
Mo Cangyan looked at him with cold eyes, murderous intent flickering in his eyes.
"Do you need me to say it again?"
Eunuch Hai nodded quickly and went back to get the things.
He didn't know how the empress had pissed off the emperor that she was about to flip the cards.
The emperor has hardly ever turned over the cards since he ascended the throne. Before, he would only go to have dinner with Concubine Li from time to time, and he didn't care about the other women in the harem.
After the Empress Dowager was born, she had no idea what a name tag was. She stayed in Fengchun Palace every night, and the names of the concubines in the harem were almost gathering dust in the Ministry of Internal Affairs!
Eunuch Hai brought the sign over, and Mo Cangyan just glanced at it and flipped over one at random.
…
Inside Chuxiu Palace.
Zhang Shen would never have thought that the emperor would turn over his card today.
After receiving the news from Eunuch Hai, she began to bathe and dress herself, and the entire Chuxiu Palace was extremely busy.
After a long time, the emperor slowly arrived at Chuxiu Palace.
Zhang Shen had been waiting there for a long time. When she saw the man's deep eyes glancing at her, she couldn't help but blush, his eyes full of admiration and love.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
Seeing that she was wearing a thin purple dress, Mo Cangyan subconsciously thought of Feng Xiyao's sweet smiling face. She seemed to like wearing purple clothes as well.
Realizing that he was thinking of her again, he frowned slightly in annoyance.
"Purple doesn't suit you!"
Zhang Shen didn't expect the emperor to say this as soon as he arrived. He had finally come to her bedroom and didn't want to miss it, so she nodded immediately.
"I won't wear it again next time!"
Mo Cangyan didn't look at her and walked in.
After sending everyone in the room away, Zhang Shen sat shyly on the bed, looking at the man expectantly.
The emperor is handsome, with a face so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off him. His figure is incomparable. He is tall and strong. He looks thin when he is dressed and has muscles when he is undressed. There is no woman in the harem who does not secretly admire him.
Zhang Shen fell in love with him after seeing him from afar a long time ago, and insisted on participating in the talent show despite his father's dissuasion.
She thought that although she was not as beautiful as the queen, she was not bad looking either. With her scheming, she would definitely get used to the pampered harem once she entered it.
But she didn't expect that when she happily entered the palace, what greeted her was not the favor of a man, but staying alone in an empty room day after day...
Fortunately, when she was in despair, the emperor finally turned over his card.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but curl her lips and smile. Thinking of what was going to happen next, her eyes looking at the man became a little nervous.
Mo Cangyan looked around the room, walked to the bedside, approached Zhang Shen, lifted her chin and took a look.
Zhang Shen's face was blushing and alluring, and she called him tenderly with charming eyes.
"Your Majesty~"
There was no emotion in Mo Cangyan's eyes as he let her go.
Just as Zhang Shen was about to start taking off her clothes, the man suddenly asked her.
"Can you play chess?"
"ah?"
…
The next morning.
After Mo Cangyan walked out of Chuxiu Palace, he issued an edict to confer the title of Concubine Shen on Zhang Shen and gave her Anle Palace to live in.
After receiving the imperial edict, Zhang Shen was not very happy, but he still tried to put on a smile.
"Congratulations, sister!"
"Congratulations, sister. Anle Palace is where the late emperor's favorite concubine lived. It seems that the emperor really likes sister!"
"The Emperor finally sees my sister's recovery. Congratulations!"
“…”
Zhang Shen was the first person to be favored besides the Empress, and because of her father, everyone came to curry favor with her.
Her face froze with smile as she listened to everyone's compliments.
What's the point of congratulating her? She played chess with the emperor all night last night and is now tired and sleepy. Only she knows the pain in her heart.
“…”
Soon, the news that Zhang Shen was named concubine reached Feng Xiyao's ears.
When she heard that Mo Cangyan had turned over Zhang Shen's name card last night and made her a concubine this morning, she was stunned for a long time.
“…”
Looking at the palace maids busying about in the room, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was a society where men had three wives and four concubines, and she actually hoped that Mo Cangyan would only have her!
As she laughed, she couldn't help but shed tears, which dripped onto the rice paper and blended with the black ink...
Nan'an Palace
Zhang Luoyi thought about the last time she saw the emperor and the empress, she felt something was wrong with their relationship, so she couldn't help but ask about it after Mo Lingyun came back from court.
"How are the Queen and the Emperor these days?"
Mo Lingyun came in and played with his daughter in the cradle.
"I don't know what my brother is thinking recently. Because of a conflict between Song Qianxue and the emperor's sister-in-law, he directly turned over a noble lady's card last night and made her a concubine early this morning!"
"The ministers didn't want the emperor to favor his wife alone, so they are so happy to hear that he has started to pick the best candidates."
Zhang Luoyi stopped rocking the cradle. She felt sad when she thought that someone as good as the empress would be neglected.
"What can I do? Why don't you help mediate and persuade the emperor?"
Mo Lingyun was helpless: "Luo'er, you have to understand that my brother is the emperor of Daxia. How could he have only my sister-in-law as his wife? You are making it too difficult for me!"
Zhang Luoyi glared at him angrily: "This is unfair. Women can only have one husband, but you men can have three wives and four concubines!"
As she spoke, she thought of something and stood up: "Mo Lingyun, do you have the same idea?"
Not knowing how she brought this up, Mo Lingyun suddenly panicked.
"How is that possible? I'm not the emperor's brother. You are the only one in my life, and I only want you!"
"Oh, really?"
Zhang Luoyi stared at him in disbelief, his face puffed up with anger.
"Of course, if you don't believe me, try Luo'er!"
As he said this, he took her hand and touched his abdomen. Zhang Luoyi blushed and shook his hand off, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Men are fickle and frivolous!"
"Baby, let's go. We don't want your daddy!"
Zhang Luoyi carried her daughter and left the room.
Mo Lingyun looked at her leaving back, and then realized that he was abandoned, and shouted loudly.
"No, I wasn't wrong!"
