That day.
Mi Shan was walking in the E'er Garden when she encountered Ye Gucheng again.
To be precise, it should be the emperor.
"Your Highness, Consort Mi Hui, please wait."
"Who are you?"
Mi Shan stared at the unfamiliar face before her.
She knew he was an emperor, but because he always wore a mask in front of her, now that he had taken it off, she knew perfectly well what he was doing, yet still felt very distant from him.
A flash of displeasure crossed the emperor's eyes: "Has Your Majesty forgotten Gucheng so quickly?"
"A lonely city?"
Mi Shan was taken aback and frowned.
"You remember now?"
"Is there something you need?" Mi Shan didn't give a clear answer, but simply asked indifferently.
"I've heard that Your Highness has recently gained the Emperor's favor and has risen rapidly in rank. In a short time, you've ascended to a high position."
He sneered.
"But that emperor was just an old man."
He's old enough to be your father.
Don't you really feel resentful?
Mi Shan smiled, then her expression turned serious: "You've really grown bolder and bolder, daring to slander the Emperor in the harem. Aren't you afraid I'll punish you?"
"How could Your Majesty bear to part with her? Have you forgotten our first encounter?"
For some reason, Ye Gucheng boldly stepped forward and said, "I've heard that you're close to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is indeed stronger than the Emperor, but I'm not weak either."
Mi Shan frowned slightly, naturally understanding that this was a test from the emperor.
It seems he really cares about the possibility of being betrayed.
Mi Shan sneered, took two steps back to create distance between them, and immediately began shouting, "Someone come here!"
"There is a thief here who speaks disrespectfully to His Majesty."
Let me tell you, my heart belongs only to the Emperor, and nothing you say will change that! From the moment I entered the palace, I have been the Emperor's woman.
She'll only ever have eyes for one man!
Mi Shan finished speaking.
Ye Gucheng's anger was not seen.
Instead, he suddenly paused, then asked with a hint of certainty, "Really?"
"yes."
"My beloved consort! I knew you were loyal to me!"
Suddenly, Ye Gucheng burst into laughter.
Mi Shan feigned surprise: "You, who are you?"
"That's right, it's me, I am the Emperor." He took out a mask from his pocket, put it on, and sure enough, it looked exactly like Li Shengyuan's usual appearance.
He then beckoned Xu Ninghai over, further confirming his identity.
Mi Shan knelt down: "Your Majesty, please forgive my disrespect."
Her face was slightly pale, and she pretended to be a thin, weak little white rabbit.
"Your Majesty, I truly had no idea that Your Majesty was actually Ye Gucheng..."
"I know I never meant to blame you. This time, I'm just here to test your sincerity towards me."
Li Shengyuan reached out, without his mask for the first time, and pulled her into his arms, letting out a long sigh.
Even though I have you now, I still feel that our hearts are very far apart.
Don't blame me.
I'm just too afraid of being deceived.
I long for true love.
Fortunately, I finally found him.
Mi Shan lowered her eyes, looking pitiful, but a dark glint flashed in her eyes.
Lately, on several occasions, she has been served in bed by a fox.
The emperor was completely unaware that because of the E'er Garden incident, he even issued a special decree to confer the title of Consort De upon Mi Shan.
A more grand ceremony to appoint a concubine will be held soon.
Last time she was just an ordinary concubine, but this time she is one of the four imperial concubines, with a noble and glorious status, unlike before.
Originally, all the concubines in the harem went to congratulate Murong Wan on her pregnancy, creating a scene of sycophancy.
After hearing that Mi Shan had been conferred the title of Consort De, the winds shifted, and she frequently came to Yu Fu Palace to send gifts.
Murong Wan inquired about it.
It is learned that Mi Shan and the Emperor had a romantic relationship in the E'er Garden after she saved a bird.
She mistook the emperor for a guard, and the emperor, in order to maintain this mystery,...
He actually wore a mask for a very long time because of her.
Everyone finally understood why the emperor had always worn a mask before, but now he wasn't. "It was all for Mi Shan!"
Murong Wan slammed her hand on the table and sat down in a fit of jealousy.
"It's just saving a bird, what's with all the fuss? It must have been staged on purpose!"
"Please calm down, my lady. Be careful not to upset the baby."
"Someone, go outside and catch a wild rabbit..."
Murong Wan seemed to have thought of something, and a cunning coldness flashed in her eyes.
That day, when the emperor finished his court session.
A gentle woman was seen squatting under a tree, carefully tending to an injured rabbit, and with the help of a palace maid, bandaging the rabbit's injured leg.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Murong Wan.
"Consort Murong, you're pregnant, why are you still out and about?"
A gentle light appeared in Li Shengyuan's eyes. "You are so kind. Come on, get in my sedan chair, and I will take you back."
I heard that
That night, Li Shengyuan stayed overnight at Muqing Palace.
However, he did nothing; the child was more important, and Murong Wan naturally knew that.
However, this carefully maintained tenderness did not last long; Li Shengyuan only came for two days before stopping.
Murong Wan was so angry that she grabbed the rabbit out of its cage and pinched its ears hard.
They ripped one of its ears off.
"Useless thing,"
"Now everyone says that I'm just imitating Dong Shi!"
Even so, all I wanted was a little more attention. This useless rabbit is so annoying; it looks just like Mi Shan! Someone, bring me some scissors!
"My lord, what are you going to do?"
