He Ying saw Sang Yan shrinking and said nothing, thinking that she was timid, so he added: "Even if it is an offense, I will forgive you."
He has never been so generous.
Sang Yan didn't think so. On the contrary, she felt that he had bad intentions.
She knew that this feudal emperor liked novelty, so she tried her best to pretend to be an ordinary woman: "Back to the emperor, the idea just now was just a foolish opinion that the courtier came up by chance. Is there any other idea?"
He Ying inexplicably didn't believe this: "Really not?"
Sang Yan lowered her head and said weakly: "Really not."
Seeing this, He Ying's eyes were full of disappointment: "You were quite famous when you were in the boudoir. If I hadn't been unable to get close to women, you would have entered the palace long ago. Now it seems that it is nothing more than that."
Sang Yan: "..."
She was looked down upon, but she felt relaxed: It's just that, okay.
Mulberry and weak water are different.
She was hearing the emperor's words - If I hadn't been forbidden to approach women, you would have entered the palace long ago.
His heart suddenly became heavy: It's all right, why did the emperor say this? Is it a pity that Sang Yan did not enter the harem?
Some words are said unintentionally but by those who hear them.
Including Yu Huaide, the chief eunuch, also felt that the emperor's move was abnormal.
He looked at Sang Yan from the corner of his eye, and saw that she was indeed a good-looking girl. Compared to her younger sister Sang Ruoshui, who was pure and smart, she was gentle and elegant, and had a cold and charming beauty.
Very contradictory beauty.
It turns out that the emperor likes such a woman?
"The emperor came to see me in spite of his busy schedule. I am very moved. I am willing to sing a song for the emperor to express my feelings. I hope the emperor will give me your permission."
Sang Ruoshui wanted to attract the emperor's attention by showing off his talents.
He Ying heard this. Although he wasn't very interested, he didn't want to offend her. He nodded: "Then I'll do my best, my dear concubine."
Sang Ruoshui immediately asked her confidant palace maid Xiang Xiu to bring her qin and played the song "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix".
She is a noble girl who was pampered by thousands of people, and her piano skills are naturally good.
Sang Yan listened and felt that the sound of the piano was smooth, natural, and touching.
Even in modern times, he is still at the level of a master.
Thinking about Sang Ruoshui being sixteen or seventeen years old, still a female high school student, it is quite impressive to be able to achieve such a level.
"It seems that the Crown Princess likes this song very much."
He Ying casually drank tea and listened to the music, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at Sang Yan - the woman listened carefully, squinting her eyes slightly, smiling at the corners of her lips, as if she was immersed in it, looking innocent and cute.
Sang Yan might as well be called by name. She felt nervous and quickly apologized: "Concubine Sang has superb piano skills, and I will naturally like her."
He Ying also smiled: "Since the Crown Princess likes her, then Concubine Sang must have contributed a lot, and she will be rewarded in many ways."
He looked at Yu Huaide, the chief eunuch beside him, and ordered: "Send ten lychees donated by Minzhou."
When Yu Huaide heard this, he was stunned: Those lychees traveled thousands of miles to the imperial capital, and were damaged a lot along the way. There were only thirty lychees left. The only ones who were rewarded in the palace were ten for the Queen Mother, six for the Queen, and the rest of the concubines.
There is not a single one for the concubine.
Now, Concubine Sang played a piece of music, and the emperor rewarded her with ten pills. What a great favor!
"yes."
After Yu Huaide was stunned, he quickly asked the young eunuch to get it.
"Concubine...Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty."
Sang Ruoshui was naturally excited and happy when he received the reward, but as the emperor said - since the Crown Princess likes it, then Concubine Sang must have contributed a lot, and she will be rewarded in many ways.
It sounds like she was rewarded for playing the piano to please the Crown Princess.
That’s not true!
Sang Ruoshui had a smile on his face, and his hands in his sleeves clenched into fists, almost breaking his nails.
Sang Yan also felt the malice in the emperor's words - was the emperor sick? He was putting her on the fire to roast her! He also intended to destroy their sisterhood! Is it just because she was like this? What a psychopath.
!
She couldn't stay any longer, so she said: "Your Majesty, I drank too much tea and want to go..."
Going to the toilet or changing clothes?
She didn't have much knowledge about ancient times, and she was embarrassed to speak out to an adult man and an emperor.
His face was burning.
He Ying understood what she meant and deliberately refused to let her go. He also misinterpreted her meaning: "Do you want to go for a walk in the Imperial Garden?"
Sang Yan: "..."
She wants to drain the water, but it’s not appropriate to move around!
This emperor is really sick!
She didn't want to talk too much to the sick emperor and make mistakes, so she simply stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I want to go to the toilet, but I can't help it anymore. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
After saying that, he hurriedly left the main hall and went to the side hall.
He Ying watched her flee, a little smile unconsciously appearing in his eyes.
This smile made Sang Ruoshui feel like he was facing a formidable enemy—did the emperor fall in love with Sang Yan? No! Absolutely not!
"Your Majesty, I am not very talented. I would like to hear your opinions on the music so that I can improve it."
She once again tried to attract the emperor's attention.
But the emperor said coldly: "Not bad."
He didn't seem to want to talk to her.
Sang Ruoshui's face was stiff and he couldn't laugh for a while.
He Ying was bored and drinking tea.
He waited for a long time and saw that Sang Yan did not come back. Knowing that she would not come again, he stood up and said, "Have a good rest, my beloved. I will come see you another day."
His voice was cold, indicating that these words were just for the occasion.
Sang Ruoshui wanted to stay, but when faced with that cold face, he lost his courage.
She sent the emperor out and saw him glancing at the side hall, but did not stop.
The emperor is interested in Sang Yan.
This realization hurt her heart.
Yu Huaide, the chief eunuch, also had this understanding, but he did not show it.
A widow who lives in poverty is definitely not worthy of the emperor.
I believe the emperor also knows this and will not let himself become a laughing stock inside and outside the palace.
Yuesang Hall side hall
Sang Yan paid attention to the movements in the main hall, and when he saw the emperor leaving, he went to the main hall.
She mentioned leaving the palace again.
This time Sang Ruoshui didn't try to stay.
"My sister's fate is good or bad."
Sang Ruoshui has a strange yin and yang attitude, and is a bit gloating about misfortune.
In fact, she envied Sang Yan for being able to get Prince Jiangling's proposal to marry her despite her husband's fate. Now that the emperor had met her, he was also interested in her.
If she didn't have a husband, I'm afraid she would be a disaster!
Sang Yan could naturally hear the ridicule and contempt in Sang Ruoshui's words, but she didn't care. The sister of the original owner was just a girl with no wealth, and she was also attracted to the emperor. In this harem that eats people without spitting out bones, it is also
Poor, why bother with her?
There are only some things I still want to say.
"I know you are young and lively, and you love the emperor and are hostile to me, but Sang Ruoshui, I hope you can control your heart and stop being in love. The emperor is cold-hearted. If you want to survive in the harem, don't be emotional.
, otherwise, you will be the one who suffers."
That’s all.
She walked out of the palace door and looked back at her: "Sisters, take care of yourself."
Seeing this, Sang Ruoshui felt regretful and felt that he had said the wrong thing again.
But thinking about the way the emperor looked at her, she felt jealous: "Hypocritical!"
