"Hey, I've already made you empress, aren't you going to praise me?" Gu Qimu turned his head slightly to steal a glance at Shen Ye.
He was acting like a little kid, which made Shen Ye almost spit out his tea again. "What's there to praise? Didn't the Emperor say that we are just in a cooperative relationship, each getting what we need?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qimu suddenly turned his face, looked at Shen Ye with a sorrowful expression, his thin lips moved, but in the end he said nothing, got up and left.
Shen Ye scratched his head, wondering if he had offended him again.
On the eve of the investiture ceremony, Shen Ye was assassinated in the garden. If it weren't for the Sixth Prince Gu Qichen who happened to be there and saved her, Shen Ye would surely be dead.
It's all this lousy system's fault. It doesn't give me any skills and it lets me down at crucial moments. It's really too much.
The sixth prince, Gu Qichen, and Gu Qimu were born of the same mother, but their personalities were worlds apart. If Gu Qimu was a scheming and vengeful villain, then Gu Qichen was a sunny and cheerful young man.
I remember Gu Qichen looking at Shen Ye with a gentle expression, a smile spreading across his face.
Shen Ye was instantly captivated; he was incredibly handsome and mesmerizing.
This man made even a grown man like Shen Ye want to pounce on him and ravage him.
Oh no, how could I have such a shameless and perverted idea?
"Are you one of the Emperor's concubines?"
Shen Ye shook his head, then nodded, and said with a lovesick look, "Just an unfavored concubine."
"You're so handsome, Your Majesty is wasting such a gift." Gu Qichen smiled and scratched his head.
Hearing this, Shen Ye could hardly believe her ears. This man actually praised Shen Ye's looks? And dared to say that Gu Qimu was wasting his talent...
I wonder what Gu Qimu's expression will be when he hears this?
Angry? Exploding? Or calm and collected?
After chatting for a few minutes, Shen Ye had to return to the palace because of the strict separation between men and women in ancient times. That night, he was still thinking, why isn't this gentle and handsome man the male lead?
"System baby." Shen Ye looked around and, seeing no one, tried to call the system out in a low voice.
'Hmm? Why are you calling me?'
"Can we change the male lead now?"
At this moment, Shen Ye only had one shameless thought in her mind: to change the male lead to the sixth prince, Gu Qichen.
"No way! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Let me tell you, changing the male lead is impossible in this lifetime." After saying that, the system ran away again.
After the investiture ceremony, Shen Ye moved to the Lizheng Hall. The assassins from that day were also captured, but they all committed suicide by poison. The clues about who the mastermind was have been lost for the time being.
During the day, Shen Ye would change into light clothes and go to play with Gu Qichen. The two got along well and had fun together. Gu Qichen never knew that Shen Ye was Gu Qimu's empress because he didn't come to the investiture ceremony and no one told him.
Of course, Shen Ye never knew that this man was Gu Qimu's twin brother.
In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived. As in previous years, a family banquet will be held, and all the princes who have not been granted fiefdoms will come to attend.
Because Shen Ye had a bit of an upset stomach, the family dinner had already started when he arrived.
"Your Majesty, I have come..."
He didn't say it aloud because he saw that Gu Qichen was also there, sitting in the first seat below Gu Qimu.
Shen Ye felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his blood froze, and he stood there stunned.
What is he doing here?
Upon seeing Shen Ye, Gu Qichen was stunned for a few seconds, seemingly not expecting to see her here, as he had always thought Shen Ye was just an unfavored concubine.
And now? She's transformed into the mistress of the six palaces?
