Chapter 254 The Harem is Terrible
Although he was sitting in the Shangbao Division early in the morning, he did not use the imperial seal at all because there was no important matter to deal with.
Moreover, after staying for a while, Nan Yan felt a little unwell, so she left Shangbaosi and returned to Ye Ting.
As soon as I lay down in the quilt, Ran Xiaoyu came back.
"Why are you sleeping so early?"
Ran Xiaoyu walked in and saw her changing clothes beside her. She immediately understood: "You, are you having your period?"
Nan Yan nodded weakly.
She hadn't felt it when she was at Shangbaosi, but she felt a stomachache after she came back. She had already drunk quite a bit of tea, so now she was curled up in pain.
Ran Xiaoyu sighed: "You are really something. You followed the emperor out and got injured all over. Now that you finally come back, you still can't rest in peace."
After that, he made her a bowl of brown sugar water and brought it to her mouth: "Drink it."
Although the warm brown sugar water did not immediately relieve the pain in her lower abdomen, it made Nan Yan feel much more comfortable. She said to Ran Xiaoyu gratefully, "Xiaoyu, thank you."
"Who needs your thanks? It's not like I'm willing to take care of you."
Ran Xiaoyu said coldly: "It was the Queen who asked me to take care of you today."
"The Queen?"
"yes."
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment - why did the Queen let Ran Xiaoyu take care of her?
She whispered, "Is this a mistake?"
Ran Xiaoyu glanced at her and saw that she was still confused, so she said, "Do you know that the Queen has been doing something these days, which is the selection of talents."
"Draft?"
"Yes, to enrich the emperor's harem."
“…”
For some reason, Nan Yan felt less pain in her lower abdomen.
But an indescribable feeling welled up in my heart.
It seemed like the pain had moved there.
Of course, this is the most normal thing. The emperor's harem does have too few concubines. When Emperor Wen was in power, he selected more than just these few concubines.
It is only natural for the queen to choose a concubine for him.
She wrapped the quilt around herself again and said softly, "That has nothing to do with me."
Ran Xiaoyu looked back at her for a while and said, "Have you never thought about becoming the emperor's concubine?"
“…”
Xia Yunting had asked a similar question before, but at that time, Nan Yan just thought it was a joke. Later, the sentence seemed more like a prophecy, which happened to Xia Yunting.
And this time——
She smiled faintly and said, "Don't even think about it. It's impossible."
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her: "Why?"
Nan Yan asked, "Have you forgotten our previous identities?"
“…”
"We are all concubines, the concubines of Emperor Wen."
“…”
"As the saying goes, a good woman won't marry twice. Although we are slaves without any status, there must be people watching us. If the emperor takes people like us as concubines, I'm afraid we will be scolded."
Ran Xiaoyu asked, "But wasn't Xia Yunting taken into the harem?"
Nan Yan said, "When Yun Ting was with him, he was still just the Prince of Yan. The previous dynasty was in chaos, and no one was paying attention to this matter, so the matter didn't become a big deal. Even so, I have heard people scold Yun Ting for 'bed climbing' more than once."
Ran Xiaoyu said silently in her heart: Isn’t it?
"But now, he is the emperor. If he wants to take Emperor Wen's concubines into the palace, he will be scolded."
“…”
"Besides—"
She thought about the red coral bead bracelet incident and how she almost fell into the hands of Wu Wan and Gao Yurong, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly.
“The harem is so scary.
