Chapter 55: The King Grants You the Position of Concubine
He had to admit that Bai Qinghuan had lived in his heart.
But how much does Bai Qinghuan like him?
So far, all he had seen was exploitation.
This secret door explains everything.
If she really loved him, she could have shared a private room with him and created an opportunity to meet him in Beijing.
She had followed the Third Prince before, and everyone in the capital knew about it.
But she was always secretive towards him. She went through the back door when she went to the palace and also went through the secret door in Dianmo Pavilion.
There is no doubt that she would pretend not to know him in a crowded place.
She left room for him in everything.
How could he open his heart to her?
What he wanted was sincerity, for her to fall in love with him completely and to willingly offer her heart to him.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, but he was probably the only one who felt uncomfortable. That heartless woman only cared about flirting with him and didn't care about his life or death.
After staying in Haitang Pavilion for quarter of an hour, he went back.
Bai Qinghuan was unaware of his thoughts and was thinking about coming to Dianmo Pavilion tomorrow to leave a small gift for the Regent.
The next day, she went there in the morning and left a painting for Zizhu Pavilion. Under the purple bamboo forest, the girl was waiting eagerly, looking in the direction of a dark figure.
The Prince Regent went there in the afternoon. After seeing the painting, he wrote a few words on it: "Wishful thinking."
Shu Feng was puzzled: "Why, Your Majesty?"
"She desires this king."
Shu Feng: Your Highness, are you sure you are not secretly happy?
When Bai Qinghuan saw it the next day, the corners of his mouth twitched.
He mocked her for being wishful thinking, which was really vicious.
Then she drew another picture, in which a toad was eating swan flesh, and one of the swan's wings had entered the toad's mouth.
The regent replied with three words: "Dream on."
Bai Qinghuan became more and more courageous as she faced more setbacks. As long as the Regent responded, she would have a chance.
Then he drew a girl sleeping on her stomach with pink cloud-shaped circles on her head. Inside each circle was a small version of the Regent. Some had stern faces, some were smiling, a total of ten different expressions.
The meaning is very clear, it means that even in dreams, it’s all about you.
The Regent replied: "Daydream."
Shu Feng looked at the painting. He didn't know that the prince had so many expressions. His admiration for Miss Bai was as endless as the Yellow River.
The two of them interacted with each other, and Shu Feng found it quite lively.
But I was also a little anxious. Why didn’t Miss Bai meet the prince directly?
Speak of Cao Cao, here comes Cao Cao!
When they were in Zizhu Pavilion, there was movement in Begonia Pavilion next door.
Hearing the footsteps, the Regent knew that Bai Qinghuan had arrived. He remained calm and sipped the tea carefully.
Bai Qinghuan pushed the secret door and came in without any hesitation.
The beautiful face was delicate and charming, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, charming but not coquettish. Shu Feng took a look and quickly lowered his head. This was not something he could bear to see.
But he was extremely curious. Miss Bai was holding a scroll in her hand. What was painted on it this time?
"Meet the prince."
The Regent looked at the secret door and inexplicably felt ashamed that he was being kept as a mistress.
He didn't even put down his teacup, and said in a bad tone: "To see me, why don't you go through the main entrance?"
He looked her up and down; she was still so thin.
Bai Qinghuan grinned: "Isn't it more convenient to go this way?"
"What do you want to see me for?"
"Then Japan wanted to say goodbye to the prince, but the prince was in a hurry to go out, Qinghuan didn't have time to apologize to the prince, and thank the prince again for saving his life."
"How do you repay the favor of saving my life?"
Bai Qinghuan grumbled: "Promise yourself to me?"
"As expected, you are thinking of me."
His lips were thin to begin with, and when they were pursed, he looked particularly serious.
Bai Qinghuan lowered her head. The Regent thought that his words were too harsh. Writing on paper was not the same as saying it in person.
But he didn't know how to turn around, so he awkwardly covered his mouth with the teacup.
Shu Feng also thought that Miss Bai was sad. Women are shy, and after hearing what the prince said, Miss Bai must be ashamed.
Just as I was thinking about how to persuade her, Miss Bai suddenly raised her head, and it seemed as if thousands of stars were falling in her eyes, sparkling and terrifying.
She said with a smile: "Is it okay?"
Afraid that he didn't understand, I repeated it again:
"Can I have a crush on you, my Lord?"
Shu Feng almost bit his tongue. Isn’t this Miss Bai too bold?
The Regent felt that he had been deceived by her again. How could she be sad? Humph!
"Don't you know what happens to those who covet this king?"
"I've heard that women who come within one meter of the prince will be thrown into the street."
She took a few steps forward, and without stopping until she was one meter away, she walked directly in front of the Regent.
He asked stubbornly, "My Lord, is it okay?"
She wasn't thrown out, the Regent treated her differently.
That’s why we took such a bold move today.
She wanted her mother to divorce quickly so that she could live a leisurely life, and she also wanted to take down the regent as soon as possible.
Yun Yuyan is still watching with eager eyes.
If she acted too slowly, she would be embarrassed if an imperial decree granting marriage was given to Yun Yuyan and the Regent.
"You're quite courageous."
"That was also given by the prince."
The Regent saw the determination in her eyes, but he couldn't see much sincerity.
His voice became several degrees colder: "I will grant you the position of concubine."
The smile on Bai Qinghuan's face disappeared in an instant, and she looked at the Regent in surprise.
The Regent still had a cold expression, not showing any emotion at all.
He is serious!
A concubine is listed in the royal family.
Isn’t that still a concubine?
Yes, a high and mighty prince should have countless women.
There had been no woman around him for so many years. She thought she was a time traveler and always felt that she was special and could make his heart beat. However, she didn't expect that reality would give her a blow.
She overestimated herself.
Is this a failed plan?
It would be a lie to say I'm not sad.
This was a plan she had been planning for several days, but it was rejected ruthlessly.
If it were someone else, they would fight tooth and nail to be the regent's concubine.
But she didn't want to!
She came to the ancient times and wanted to survive, so she should accept that a man had three wives and four concubines and accept the ancient etiquette.
I know this will make my life better.
But she just didn't want to!
You can say she is being pretentious or that she is ignorant of the times, but she just doesn't want to do it.
I don't want to be inferior to others, I don't want to compromise, I don't want to be a concubine!
Her eyes were filled with sadness, as if all her energy had been drained away. Tears welled up in her eye sockets and she tried hard to control them from falling.
She knelt down and bowed, her voice hoarse and choked: "It was my imagination that brought trouble to the prince."
"I overestimated my own abilities and deserve death."
The Regent King did not speak for a long time. Bai Qinghuan closed her eyes in despair: "May Your Majesty be healthy and successful in everything! I will take my leave now!"
