Chapter 93: Treatment as a Favored Concubine

When saying her own name, Yun Qin was a little hesitant.

After all, she is now considered "famous" in the palace, and perhaps Shen Che has heard of her a long time ago.

She wasn't worried about anything else, and wasn't afraid of cold stares. She was just afraid that Shen Che would refuse to repay her kindness and refuse her to get close to Shen Danying.

In Yunqin's anxiety, Shen Che smiled, his eyes clear of gloom, "Yunqin, I remember it."

Looking at his hearty and clean smile, the smile on Wen Shi's face also became more genuine.

But she also understood that even if Shen Che didn't know it today, he would know it one day.

By then, I don’t know whether he will still be able to smile at me, or whether he will call me “Miss Yunqin” like everyone else.

As he had official business to attend to, Shen Che did not stay for too long.

He said goodbye and left, then turned back after a few steps and said, "I'm mostly working for Yu. If you have anything, you can come find me." As he said this, his face turned a little red.

According to palace rules, guards are not allowed to have close contact with palace maids. He shouldn't have said these words, but he still wanted to see her.

"I understand." Yun Qin nodded to him.

Seeing her nod, Shen Che's heartbeat suddenly quickened. He subconsciously looked away, but stared at Yun Qin again the next second.

"Well, I'll be leaving first then."

"Go slowly, General."

Shen Che looked at her again, nodded to her, turned around and walked away in big strides.

Yun Qin watched him walk away, and the smile in her eyes slowly faded.

Although she agreed, she knew in her heart that if she really went to Yuqian, there was only one man she could find, and that was the emperor.

What's more, the emperor doesn't allow her to go to the front now.

Yun Qin showed a sarcastic smile and gently adjusted her sleeves.

Now is not the time to think about these things. She still has to go back and report to Concubine Su, and also tell her that the Queen Mother is about to leave, so as to give her some comfort.

Just as I was about to leave, a group of people came from the distance on the palace road.

It is the emperor's carriage.

Yun Qin subconsciously pinched her sleeves and leaned forward to salute.

Summer had arrived, and the shoulder strap had long been replaced with a thin gauze curtain, so Huo Jinchi saw Yun Qin at a glance.

Before he realized it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She never liked going out, so it was rare to meet her on the palace road.

Huo Jinchi raised his hand and lifted a corner of the veil, allowing him to see her more clearly.

After not seeing her for a while, she seemed to have become much thinner. She stood in a windy place. The not-so-strong summer breeze blew the hem of her slightly wide clothes, as if it wanted to blow her away.

Huo Jinchi frowned slightly, remembering that Xiao Dezi had come twice before. He knew that Concubine Su and the Queen Mother were making things difficult for her, but the Queen Mother was about to leave the palace in the next few days, so she didn't send anyone to come again. Life should be better now.

In a word, after the Queen Mother leaves the palace, the court officials will be more obedient, and then there will be no need to treat her unfairly anymore.

Whether she wants golden melon seeds or status, it’s up to her.

The smile on Huo Jinchi's lips deepened a little, thinking of the woman's always coquettish look. He thought that when he passed by, she would look at him with a wronged or tearful look.

But unexpectedly, until the imperial carriage passed by, she only said, "Your servant pays homage to the emperor," without even raising her head.

Huo Jinchi's fingers holding the curtain tightened involuntarily, and he couldn't help but whispered, "Stop!"

Yun Qin did not hear the sound, but she saw the imperial carriage passing by and then stopped.

She lowered her eyes a little, thinking that the emperor would pretend not to see her.

Isn't it good to stop and do something? She doesn't really want to see him.

After a while, Xu An came over and said to Yun Qin, "Miss Yun Qin, the emperor wants you to come over for questioning."

Yun Qin stood up obediently and followed him to the imperial carriage.

Xu An naturally noticed something was wrong, but he didn't dare to go over. He waved his hand and asked everyone who was accompanying him to move away.

"Your servant greets His Majesty."

Seeing her lowered eyes and obedient look, Huo Jinchi suddenly remembered how she looked when she first saw him. This made him subconsciously touch his wrist, and when he found nothing, he remembered that his bracelet was with her.

Huo Jinchi's eyes darkened slightly, "Are you angry with me?"

Yun Qin was stunned by this question, and she couldn't help but ask herself: Is she angry?

No, she was not angry, nor did she dare to be angry.

And there was no need to be angry. His meaning was clear: she had to deal with the affairs of the harem on her own.

It was she who had placed high hopes on him, so she had to bear the consequences of her disappointment herself.

If she was really angry, she would probably be angrier at herself.

"Don't think about it, just say it out loud!" Huo Jinchi leaned forward slightly and tapped her lowered forehead with his finger.

He didn't know, but who knows what outrageous things were going on in her little head!

The cool touch on her forehead made Yun Qin raise her head subconsciously, and her eyes met Huo Jinchi's indifferent eyes.

His upper body was leaning on the armrest, his face still showing that nonchalant look, and he looked so leisurely that he didn't look like an emperor.

Seeing his expression, Yun Qin realized, "I am not angry."

"So you're blaming me?" Huo Jinchi moved a little closer to her, staring into her eyes, not giving her any chance to dodge.

Yun Qin resisted the urge to look away and said, "I don't have any!"

Huo Jinchi snorted softly, stretched out his slender but bony fingers, and said in a commanding tone, "Give me your hand."

Yun Qin didn't know what he wanted to do for a moment, so she extended her hand over. When she saw that he was about to touch her wrist, she reacted and wanted to pull her hand back, but he grabbed her wrist.

Ignoring her struggles, Hawking put his fingers into her sleeves, touched her slender wrist, and slowly stroked the place where she usually wore a bracelet.

"You mean you don't blame me?"

Yun Qin was a little disturbed by him, and finally couldn't resist. She lowered her eyes slightly, but said in defense: "I just think it is precious. I dare not take it with me when I leave the palace, for fear of losing it."

"Little liar!"

Huo Jinchi pulled aside the veil and pulled her closer, saying in a low voice, "Come up!"

Yunqin took a moment to react before realizing that he wanted her to get on the sedan chair.

She was startled at once and tried to hide backwards, but was pulled back by Hawking Chi.

He looked at Yun Qin, his tone becoming a little more vicious, "Don't make me say it a second time."

Yun Qin looked at him and realized that she couldn't refuse, so she stopped struggling and, using the strength in his hand, stepped onto the shoulder pole.

She didn't know if it was because she was some distance from the ground or because the mat under her feet was too soft, but she felt her legs were a little weak.

Before Yun Qin could stand firmly, Huo Jinchi exerted force on his hands, and Yun Qin's body leaned forward involuntarily.

She screamed, but was caught steadily by a pair of hands, and her whole body sat in Hawking's arms.

Yun Qin tried to hold back, but couldn't help it anymore and glared at Huo Jinchi.

After being glared at, Huo Jinchi couldn't help but chuckle and tapped her forehead with his finger, "This is more like you."

Yun Qin lowered her eyes and couldn't help but move her body. She just felt uncomfortable all over.

This is on the emperor's shoulders, and there are so many people watching outside. This is the treatment only given to the favored concubines who bring disaster to the country and the people.

If this gets out, social ruin is the least of the problems. The bigger problem is whether the Queen Mother will kill her directly!

But as soon as Yun Qin moved, Huo Jinchi grabbed her waist. His voice was a little hoarse, "Don't move!"

Yun Qin raised her eyes and met his dark eyes, then she realized something and her face turned red in an instant.
