Long Qianyi was a little embarrassed by his question, but fortunately Lin Xiao did not pursue the matter further.
"Oh, that's how it is. My sister stays with Father Emperor most of the year and rarely comes to the Central Plains to play."
This time, upon hearing that the Emperor was selecting concubines, he said he wanted to meet you.
Long Xiyao's two slender hands were intertwined with each other due to nervousness. She dared not look at Tianyan.
"Brother, please don't praise Xiyao anymore, it's embarrassing. It's a pity that the Emperor has many beauties in his palace. Why would he care about a mere princess like me?"
"All I need is for my Emperor brother to know that Xiyao likes you, that's enough..."
Lin Xiao took a deep breath. The female supporting character was indeed impressive; she was incredibly powerful. But for the sake of his "heart-fluttering points," he had to take it on!
He composed himself, then winked at Long Qianyi with feigned delight: "Brother Long, your sister is exceptionally talented and also very beautiful."
"I don't know if she's interested in entering the palace as a concubine. I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me. I'll just say it directly."
"Silly sister, what are you still standing there for? Go thank your emperor brother!"
Although this palace selection is a major event, his main focus is on choosing Long Qianyi's younger sister.
Because he felt there was a way to make someone like him more.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile slightly.
"When the few of us are together, there's no need to call me Emperor Brother anymore. It sounds too formal. Let's just call me Brother Lin Xiao."
"It's Brother Lin Xiao."
Lin Xiao secretly felt a sense of satisfaction, thinking to himself that being the seme (top) was really easy, being liked by so many people without having to suffer.
No wonder so many people are eager to do it; I'm sure he'll do a great job! He'll spoil his little wife rotten; she must have had a really tough time before!
The arrival of the Yuezhi princess into the palace was truly a major event for the harem, and Empress He Yunshang, of course, could not afford to be negligent.
Despite feeling unwell, she went to find Lin Xiao, even though she was heartbroken that her husband had married another beauty.
But she automatically assumed that this was done for the sake of improving relations between the two countries, thus comforting herself.
From afar, she saw Lin Xiao talking to the new princess, seemingly enjoying himself. This sparked a pang of jealousy in her; how could a complete stranger make him so happy?
Why couldn't she just give her one child...?
Lin Xiao turned his head and said, "Hmm, isn't this the Empress? What are you doing hiding here? Come on, we're discussing something. Come on over."
Perhaps she made too much noise, attracting their attention, so she felt embarrassed and continued pretending.
"Ah, Your Majesty, I just wanted to make some stew for you. I saw that Your Majesty has been very busy lately, and I wanted to nourish you."
Lin Xiao gave a captivating laugh: "The Empress is so considerate. We were just talking about you. After bringing Princess Xiyao into the palace, she said she wanted to learn from you, her older sister, what women should do."
"Could it be that His Majesty's main focus this time is Princess Xiyao? It is said that Princess Xiyao is a beauty of unparalleled grace and is the most beautiful woman in the Yuezhi Kingdom."
"Sister, you flatter me. Actually, you are the most beautiful woman in the world. Even Xi Yao is quite jealous."
"Alright, you two, stop with the formalities. You've both forgotten about me. I'm the one who's jealous! Now that the Empress is here, there's something I need her to do."
