They had received word that a woman had arrived at the palace.
This was an extraordinary matter.
To think that there would be a woman in the palace, what was there to be proud of?
Nangong Ao had never been close to a woman in all these years. Even when ministers and Nangong Jue repeatedly asked him to marry the empress, Nangong Ao never took this matter to heart. Now, he was actually letting a woman into the palace, which forced the four of them to make some guesses.
"Young Master Xiao, you're the oldest one among the four of us. What do you think about this matter?"
The one who spoke was Luo Feifan, and out of the four of them, Luo Feifan was the youngest. He was very cunning and always liked to listen to the thoughts of the other three, and then he would choose the one that was beneficial to him.
But now, Nangong Ao allowed the woman to enter the palace, this matter was no small matter to them.
None of them liked being a man of Nangong Ao's harem, but once they entered the harem, no matter how pure they were, they were still contaminated by the miasma of the harem.
The harem had always been a place where women fought for power. Now, the harem had become a place where men like them played tricks.
"Luo Feifan, don't try to get close to me. What does this have to do with me? It's not perfect for that person to have a woman. We might be able to leave the harem. "
Xiao Ziyi was already tired of staying in the palace. In the palace, it was fine if he didn't have any freedom, but he still had to endure a group of men framing him. He didn't want to argue with them, but he had to protect himself, so he had to take out his weapon.
Xiao Ziyi was the son of the Military Department's Minister. He knew that Nangong Ao had only brought him into the palace to obtain power from his father. And his father was close to King An. He had repeatedly advised his father not to go against the emperor. Although the emperor didn't live up to his name, he could see that this man would one day stand up. If he regretted it by then, it would be too late.
However, his persuasion had no effect on his father at all. King An had promised to give him the position of Prime Minister. That position was above everyone else, so he was tempted. He didn't even hesitate to send his son to the palace.
He hated all of this. Why would he have a father like this?
Currently, these people were all waiting to watch a good show. How naive, how could he allow these people to stand to the side and watch a good show?
To go to heaven and go to hell, these people all had to follow him.
Luo Feifan didn't expect Xiao Ziyi to say such words. He usually knew that Xiao Ziyi would pass the news from the palace on behalf of the Military Department's Minister. He thought that since the Emperor had a woman, he would be the most nervous. He did not expect that his words revealed his desire to leave the palace.
"Young Master Xiao, are you serious? So what if the rest of us go out? Do you think we can still get married and have children? No one will believe that we are clean. We will be despised wherever we go. "
Luo Feifan was not wrong about this point. Moreover, he was speaking in the hearts of others. If they left the palace, it would be equivalent to losing their backers. But even so, the other three still had their own ideas.
Lu Qian, the Minister of Rites' son, had always had a gentle personality. Although she sometimes had to do things that went against her will in order to protect herself, she rarely did things that went against her conscience.
To Lu Qian, the palace had already become his home. When he first entered the palace, his father had already told him that they would no longer be father and son.
He had never imagined that one day, he would become a member of the imperial harem.
He was already very familiar with the emperor. When he was young, he often followed his father to the palace, and moreover, he was the emperor's reading companion. Thus, the relationship between him and the Emperor was no small matter.
His father had always been a very upright man, and although Prince An had hoped in every way that his father would stand by his side, none of this had worked. In the end, his father had stuck to his position.
The Ministry of Rites was a big deal, but his father had always been a clean and honest man. Moreover, his family was the Queen's family, so even though Prince An wanted to bring down his father, he didn't carry out the plan.
It was also Prince An's idea to have him enter the palace.
Therefore, even now, he still had no way to like King An.
As long as they didn't provoke him, he definitely wouldn't take the initiative to provoke them.
Just like now, when he sat here, he didn't understand why he would side with these three people.
Since he had nothing to do, he came.
"Young Master Lu, do you really want to leave the palace?"
Luo Feifan pointed his spearhead at Lu Qianqian. Lu Qian smiled, looking extremely gentle. He did not answer Luo Feifan's question, which angered him.
His gaze shifted to the last person, the Cloud Swallow Manor's manor lord, Yun Fei Xiang.
This person always liked to put on a cool face. Although his disciple was not as good as the Azure Sword Villa, he was still the richest under the heavens. It was no wonder Nangong Ao had thought of all means to get hold of this person.
Although he didn't know how he had gotten his hands on such an unfathomable person, he gave off an unfathomable feeling. The other three people had their reservations about this man.
Sure enough, when Luo Yuan looked at Yun Fei Xiang, Yun Fei Xiang's gaze coldly glanced at him, and said in a lukewarm tone, "Don't ask me."
These few people usually seemed to be very good with him, but in the end, they were all clean and honest.
In the distance, a group of people were walking towards them. The other three people saw this, but only Luo Feifan did not.
"Do you all think it's good for you to be saints? Alright, I'll go take a look myself. I really want to see what kind of trash that woman is!"
Luo Feifan turned around and bumped into Jin Xiaoyi, who had already arrived at the pavilion.
Luo Feifan raised his head to look at Jin Xiaoyi, only to see that she was wearing a golden robe, which looked shiny. Her facial features were good, her face was not big, and her facial expression was quite intimidating. She didn't look like someone to be trifled with.
This is the woman that the Emperor summoned into the palace?
Originally, Nangong Ao was unwilling to bring her to the so-called harem. However, because she insisted, Nangong Ao could only bring her here. As soon as he arrived at the imperial flower garden, he saw four people sitting in a pavilion.
The distance was too far, so she couldn't clearly see their faces, so she headed straight for the pavilion.
The moment he came over and saw the faces of these four people, he realized that they were all incomparably handsome. In the modern world, they were a combination of all sorts of beautiful men.
She had no resistance against handsome men. Seeing these four handsome men, she imagined these four handsome men wearing modern clothes and singing modern songs in her mind. How many people would be enchanted to death by this?
Sure enough, the palace was still the palace, and even the beautiful men were first class.
"Are the four of you willing to sign with me?"
Jin Xiaoyi said with a sly smile.
With a single sentence, he stunned the four beautiful men. What was this woman talking about? Why couldn't they understand her words?
This way, she could get them to form an idol group and then perform in the Moon Pavilion. Just thinking about it made her drool. At that time, wouldn't those resentful married women and mistresses come bounding over? I'm not sure about that.
Look at these four beautiful men with different temperaments. The one dressed in green seemed cold and detached, with no other expression on his face. The man dressed in blue beside him looked gentle, and his eyes were brimming with sunlight.
There were two others standing to the side. One of them was dressed in purple and had a devilish appearance, but the look in his eyes made Jin Xiaoyi feel uncomfortable. The last one was dressed in green and looked unfathomable.
The four of them did not understand Jin Xiao Ai's words, but when they saw Nan Gong Ao behind them, they immediately kneeled down and bowed.
"Greetings, your Imperial Majesty."
Nangong Ao waved his hand and let the four people stand up.
The four of them looked at Nangong Ao. Nangong Ao's gaze was still fixed on Jin Xiaoyi. His eyes were filled with love.
The four of them could tell that this woman was the woman who was about to become the master of the harem, and was also their enemy.
The first to step out was the purple-robed Luo Feifan. When this woman appeared, he already knew that their path had come to an end. This woman's appearance could not be considered first class, but she seemed to be brimming with vitality. Moreover, she could have acted so arrogantly in front of the emperor, but the emperor didn't blame her. This meant that the emperor doted on her.
Luo Feifan's first impression of Jin Xiao Ai was naturally not good. However, even if it was bad in front of Nangong Ao, he could not display it too much.
He smiled faintly, his expression gentle, but his eyes were sharp.
"I heard that the Emperor allowed a woman to enter the palace. I've always wanted to see what she looked like, but I saw her today. She's truly different from the masses."
It sounded like flattery, but Jin Xiaoyi could hear something else in his words.
She didn't believe that these men really liked being bent men. If they hadn't been forced to enter the palace, they might have already gotten married and had children.
These people looked pretty good. Not only could they sign down and arrange to enter the Listening Wind Listening Pavilion, but they could also sneak into more useful places if necessary.
But now was not the time.
"Young Noble is too polite, you are the pillars of the Heavenly Imperial Palace. I hope that you will all be able to assist the Emperor in the future. Don't worry about what I just said. I'm just a professional. "Your majesty, this humble woman is a bit tired. Why don't we go back and rest first?"
Since she had other plans, Jin Xiao Ai was not prepared to continue. Just by looking at these four men, she already knew that the men in the harem were definitely not ordinary people.
If she wanted to enter the main imperial harem, she would definitely arrange a good place for these people.
However, right now, she really wasn't in the mood. The most important thing was to find the Vermillion Bird Stone.
Even the city was the same. Even he did not know what such an important thing looked like, yet he continued to search for it. Wasn't that like looking for a needle in a haystack?
What a troublesome matter, it was just as she had thought. Even if he entered the palace, he wouldn't relax at all.
Fortunately, her body was still able to sense the Vermilion Bird Stone, so she could only hope that her senses were sharp enough to find the stone as soon as possible.
This palace was too big and too stuffy, she didn't want to stay too long.
"Mother, why are we staying here? Although this place is big, they are still bored." You said fun, but it's not fun at all. Mother, tricking children is not right. "
The little girl grumbled in dissatisfaction.
