"In the future, you will not only be Zhaoyi, I will give you a higher position."
If possible, the position of queen can also be given to her.
Qi Yun looked at her seriously and promised.
"Why is Your Majesty so kind to me?"
They had clearly just met not long ago, if it was just because of her looks, he clearly treated her without any contempt, and Qi Yun didn't seem to be that kind of pervert?
"Since I have let you into the palace, you will be my woman in the future. It is my duty to treat you well." Qi Yun sighed.
He couldn't tell her that he didn't have many years left to live.
If she follows him, she will become a widow at a young age.
Because he felt guilty about this, he was willing to give her a high position as compensation.
"Besides, with your looks, any man would be willing to treat you well."
Qi Yun looked at her face. She was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her.
That's why he wanted to be selfish for once.
Life is too short. If you are not selfish now, you will not have the chance later.

Early morning.
After Xu Lingyi entered the palace, the court officials soon learned the news.
So a new cycle began, persuading Qi Yun to participate in the audition.
"There's no need to mention this matter anymore. I won't be selecting candidates for the time being."
Qi Yun refused with a cold face.
If he had one more lifetime, he would hold a beauty pageant and, like the kings of the past, work hard to reproduce offspring and fulfill his responsibilities.
But Qi Yun only had three years, and these three years were given to him by the emperor's uncle.
Then he must cherish these three years and not spend too much time in the harem, but in the front court.
Besides, he has now met such a peerless woman.
With her, other women have become vulgar women.
He also looked down on it.
————
"Uncle, you have finally entered the palace."
Qi Yun stood up to greet him.
This is the first time Qi Yuan has entered the palace in these few months.
Today is a palace banquet, and he knew that the emperor's uncle should be here, so he has been waiting.
Besides him, the Empress Dowager is also one of them.
"Yeah." Qi Yun's voice was low.
"Uncle, please take a seat with me later."
Qi Yuan shook his head, "I can just sit down there."
He no longer cares about these things and just wants to find Xu Lingyi.
After this palace banquet, he planned to leave the capital, and he needed to explain things to his mother today.
Qi Yun did not refute, he had already taken the initiative to arrange Qi Yuan's seat next to him.
He always knew in his heart who the throne truly belonged to.
"Uncle, I finally understand how hateful those old stubborn people in the court are."
Qi Yun thought about these days, how these old guys had tested, manipulated, and threatened him overtly and covertly... and he couldn't stop getting angry.
Qi Yuan understood, "You can be a little more ruthless in your approach, combining kindness with force. You need to figure out the right balance."
"But be careful not to show even the slightest bit of weakness, otherwise they will seize the opportunity and climb over your head."
Qi Yuan knew that there were too many old foxes among the court officials.
In front of him, they did not dare to test him too much and had some concerns in their hearts.
Because he would really kill them.
But when facing Qi Yun, these old guys will become arrogant again.
"It's appropriate to arrest one person and make an example of him. Elder Sun is the most suitable person."
"Thank you for your teachings, Uncle." Qi Yun was moved.
He couldn't help but look at Qi Yuan secretly.
"What is it?"
Qi Yun had to admire the emperor's uncle's sharpness. Every time he peeked at the emperor's uncle, he would be discovered.
"My nephew just noticed that the emperor's uncle is in a slightly better condition than before, and I am happy."
Qi Yuan remained silent. He didn't feel that his condition had improved.
But knowing that he would be going to the palace to meet his mother in the near future, he didn't get drunk again.
But without alcohol to numb the pain, my mind was clear, but my heart was in agony.
He was thinking about Xu Lingyi all the time.
All these thoughts, pains, tortures and worries made him feel mixed emotions of love and hate towards her.
If he were to catch her... he would never give her a chance to escape in this life.
He would keep her by his side and they would be together for the rest of their lives.
————
Xu Lingyi had to show up at this palace banquet. She was the only one in Qi Yun's harem now, and she was also considered a high-ranking concubine.
Besides, even the Empress Dowager went, so she couldn't not go.
But just thinking that Qi Yuan would also attend the palace banquet made Xu Lingyi feel uneasy these days.
She told herself over and over again that Qi Yuan would definitely not recognize her.
Even her former mother-in-law, now the Empress Dowager, summoned her once.
She was just shocked by her beauty and didn't find anything wrong with her identity.
No one had ever thought that she was the same person as the former Princess of Yan.
After all, after being modified by the adjuster, these are two completely different faces.
Qi Yuan wouldn't find out either.
Xu Lingyi could only comfort herself in this way.
"Uncle, it's still early to leave the banquet. The Empress Dowager is still waiting for you. Would you like to go over?"
Qi Yun did not forget the task that the Empress Dowager had assigned him today.
Qi Yuan nodded, "I'll go over now."
"good."
Guessing that the mother and son must have something to say, Qi Yun tactfully did not follow them and handled state affairs on his own.
————
Qi Yuan's face was grim as he walked towards the Empress Dowager's residence.
But he suddenly stopped on the road.
"Who is that woman?" Qi Yuan's voice was cold.
He only saw a back figure from a distance, but inexplicably felt that it looked a bit like Xu Lingyi.
Qi Yuan quickened his pace, and the eunuch kept up and answered questions.
"Your Highness, judging by the procession, it should be Wu Zhaoyi, the concubine Your Majesty recently took in from outside the palace. She is the only mistress in the harem now."
