235 “(Quick Travel) Meat Eating Journey” Chapter 234
byChapter 234 Ancient times – Whoring Holy Monk (6)
The four young masters in the harem are not of high birth, and the world is still dominated by men. Although the emperor is a woman, he is willing to send his son to the palace and make a career by pleasing a woman. Even a family with a little respect cannot do it, let alone those nobles from aristocratic families.
However, the biological father’s background was too low, which was not a good thing for the emperor’s heir. After deliberation in the political hall, after Ye Xuan held a hairpin ceremony at the age of fifteen, he chose the sons of the Gengdu family with an innocent family background in the capital, and thus selected the four young masters Luo, Xue, Li, and Jiang.
These four people are not the eldest sons in their families. They are legitimate children. Although their father is white, he has the reputation of being a scholar, so he is naturally literate.It has to be said that the imperial court was worried about the invisible child in the emperor’s belly.When the original person learned about it, he was just confused and didn’t take the four people to heart at all.
She turned out to be a willful and wanton person. She just didn’t like to eat the food that others arranged for her and put it in her mouth, no matter how good it was.Therefore, it has been a year since those four people entered the palace, and they have not even seen the emperor’s face.
Ye Xuan felt angry tonight, thinking about Huai Yan’s cold expression. She was angry at the man for treating her like a worn-out shoe, and angry at herself for being so disgusted by others, yet she still couldn’t bear to hurt him.Humph, don’t you care about me?There are many people who seek my favor.
Thinking angrily like this, she quickened her pace and walked to Zhaoyang Palace.Luo Cheng received the notification from Xiaohuangmen early in the morning and got ready and waited outside the palace.Ye Xuan couldn’t help but be surprised when she first saw the man in the blue shirt.Men who are willing to enter the palace to serve the empress must be flattering people.However, although this Luo Cheng was handsome, there was no trace of makeup on his facial features. When he stood in front of Ye Xuan, he was neither humble nor arrogant. His slender figure knelt down, and there was a calmness in his behavior.
How could such a person enter the palace?
There was no expression on her face, and she just said lightly: “Get up.”
Zhaoyang Palace was also the palace where Ye Xuan’s mother lived when she was a concubine. She grew up in this palace when she was a child. She did not leave this familiar place until her mother was made queen when she was twelve years old.After that, no one lived in Zhaoyang Palace until Luo Cheng moved in.
Entering the hall again and looking at the surrounding furniture, the original consciousness resonated with Ye Xuan’s consciousness for the first time in front of someone other than Huai Yan.Perhaps it was because this place brought her too many memories. When she found that the furnishings in the room were still the same as before, the girl turned her head and couldn’t help but smile at Luo Cheng: “Luo Qing, you are interested.”
If Luo Cheng hadn’t deliberately preserved it, how could the furnishings in the room not be moved at all?Even if this was his way to please the emperor, it was enough to show how careful and considerate this man was.
Luo Cheng lowered his eyes and smiled: “The officials are ridiculous.” He saw the tired look on Ye Xuan’s face and said warmly, “The palace has prepared hot soup. If the officials are tired, they can relax.”
“Hmm.” Ye Xuan was exhausted both physically and mentally, so she undressed and took a bath under the service of the palace maid.She originally wondered if Luo Cheng was taking the opportunity to invite favors. She had seen too many of these tricks in the harem, and she felt irritated just thinking about it.Unexpectedly, after he stepped out of the bathroom, the bed had been tidied up and Luo Cheng’s clothes were neatly waiting aside.
“It’s getting late, please take a rest early.”
Ye Xuan had a good sleep that night. Dipterocarp was burned in her dormitory all year round. Even if the incense was removed, the faint smell still seemed to remain in the air.That was the scent she had smelled on another person, so she slept on the dragon bed and always dreamed of that person all night long, as well as many, many faces that were either cold, innocent or affectionate.
Sleeping in Zhaoyang Palace, it was probably the memory of her childhood that had affected her. For the first time, she was so peaceful, without dreaming until dawn.
After that, Ye Xuan became accustomed to staying in Zhaoyang Palace. Every time she went to Huaiyan and got angry, she felt that she could feel peaceful only by staying in Zhaoyang Palace.In fact, Huai Yan did not offend him. The man always responded respectfully and calmly, but it was this respectfulness that made Ye Xuan realize that she could not get close to Huai Yan no matter what.
She knew that even if she forced Huai Yan, she could not change the status quo.Huai Yan neither hates her nor blames her, he just regards her as a grain of sand in the world of mortals.The gravel will grind his feet and even his heart, but it will never teach him to stop following the Buddha.
From the beginning to the end, Ye Xuan’s anger and Ye Xuan’s anger were just her one-man show.
She thought that it was because of this that she liked coming to Zhaoyang Palace.Luo Cheng is a very attentive person. Before Ye Xuan arrived, her favorite Mingqian Longjing was already brewed in Zhaoyang Palace.She didn’t like burning incense, and even Luo Cheng’s clothes were light and tasteless.She didn’t like people around her when sleeping, so Luo Cheng ordered someone to set up a low couch outside. When she went to bed, Luo Cheng was the only one left in the palace, and he deliberately breathed softly so that she could sleep peacefully.
All of this revolves around Ye Xuan. Her joy and anger are the ropes that pull everyone in Luo Cheng, or in the entire palace, except Huai Yan.
Of all people, of all people in this world, you are the only one who doesn’t care about me.
“Official family.” The girl was holding a teacup. The tea in the cup overflowed without her realizing it. Luo Cheng had no choice but to remind her aloud.
“Oh.” Ye Xuan then put down the tea cup, took the handkerchief from Luo Cheng and wiped it. She really didn’t know who to talk to about her troubles, so she couldn’t help but said, “Luo Qing, you know the one in Jie Lan Zhai.”
Luo Cheng’s eyes darkened, of course he knew.The official fell in love with a man at first sight outside the palace and welcomed him into the palace. Everyone knew about it. Rumors in the harem were even more widespread. Everyone said that the man was the one the official held dear to his heart. However, he didn’t know how to praise him and kept scorning him every day.
There was nothing strange in the man’s voice, he just answered softly: “I… know.”
“He…” Ye Xuan considered, “Aren’t I bad? Why does he… don’t like me.”
She regretted it as soon as she said it. Don’t say that an emperor’s weakness should be shown casually in front of others. Asking a man who is considered his concubine such a question is not humiliating Luo Cheng.
But Luo Cheng’s expression remained unchanged, and he actually thought seriously for a moment: “I would like to forgive you for overstepping your bounds. If you are acting tough, would it be better if you… show some weakness appropriately?”
Showing weakness?
Ye Xuan had never thought of this method. Due to the influence of her original body, she was straightforward in everything she did and could not tolerate others saying no. Now, after listening to Luo Cheng’s advice, Huaiyan was a compassionate monk, and maybe showing weakness would actually have an effect.Regardless of whether it was useful or not, it was the way it was now, so it couldn’t get any worse. She decided that she would not stay in Zhaoyang Palace for the first time that night, but went to Xie Lan Zhai.
