Hua Mujiao understood that she could not force a king's harem to have no concubine, even if she had to let down those women who lived in the harem, she still wanted to fight for nothing but her man.
"If you ever fall in love with another person, remember to tell me. I will leave you and never pester you again. Do you understand?"
When Hua Mujie mentioned the word "leave," Bai Zhan Ke's face sank.
He held onto the flower and hibiscus, speaking in a low voice.
"I will never allow you to leave. I am yours, and you must belong to me alone!"
"Yes."
Smiling knowingly, Hua Mujie stretched out her hand and held Bai Zhan Ke.
Sometimes, a single word from the other party could cause others to unconditionally trust him.
"Still angry?"
Pursing her lips, Hua Mu Jin shook her head.
"On the fifteenth of the next month, I am invited to the Southern Kingdom to participate in the Southern Kingdom's National Ceremony. At that time, you can accompany me there."
Bai Zhan Ke suddenly opened his mouth, and Hua Mu Jin frowned slightly.
Southern Kingdom?
She seemed to have heard of it somewhere.
After thinking carefully, Hua Mu Jin suddenly remembered and asked in a hurry, "Nan Guo, is it the country that produces blood coral like Nan Ge said?"
"Right."
Seeing Bai Zhan Ke nod, Hua Mu Jin was extremely excited.
"Really? So, I can investigate my parents' Blood Coral? "The Southern Kingdom sounds like a great place to be. Moreover, NanGe seems to have said that the Southern Kingdom is close to the sea. When that time comes, I'll have to go to the coast and have a good look."
It had been almost a year since she came to this foreign world. Other than often sneaking out when she was in Shang Shu Manor, she spent almost all of her time in the palace.
Furthermore, this otherworldly place was something she yearned for.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day that Nangong Qianhua was bestowed the title of Consort.
It was as Nangong Qianhua had said. Although it was a ceremony to seal the concubine, it was held according to the terms of the grand marriage. Red lanterns hung high in the harem, beaming with joy.
The palace that Nangong Qianhua was living in was the same Zhao He Palace that Xia Ha Xue was living in before, but because of the matter of Nangong Qian Hua being the imperial concubine, they changed Zhao He Palace to Zhao He Palace.
Before she had even been conferred the title of imperial concubine, Nangong Qianhua had already been flattered by the concubines of the various palaces.
The flower hibiscus became the most talked about person in many palaces.
"Princess, you are so beautiful today."
Inside a palace in the imperial palace, Nangong Qianhua was sitting in front of a dressing table, allowing the servants to dress her up.
Her blood-red wedding dress was extremely eye-catching.
"This princess has waited for this day for ten years. It wasn't easy for me to convince my father to come and marry her. If I want to marry, this princess will marry my big brother Zhan in all glory."
Nangong Qianhua pursed her lips as she looked at herself in the bronze mirror.
At the side, a female servant inserted the last hairpin into Nangong Qianhua's bun.
"The princess has a very deep affection for the emperor. Tonight, the princess will become one of his servants, and there will be plenty of time in the future. One day, the emperor will be moved by the princess and fall in love with her."
Hearing those words, Nangong Qianhua's eyes suddenly sunk. She had a strange expression on her face.
The servant girl seemed to have noticed that something was amiss and signaled the rest of the people behind her to withdraw.
"Peony, if royal father knew that I have violated him, would he start a war between the two countries?"
Squatting down, she caressed Nangong Qian Hua's hand and tried to persuade her.
"Princess, please be at ease. It's your wedding today, put aside these matters. It won't be too late to think about it in the future. Besides, this is only the beginning. Didn't the Empress Dowager not come looking for you yet? "As long as the empress dowager doesn't move, Princess, you can just peacefully make the emperor's Imperial Consort your concubine."
The words' Paoji 'made Nangong Qianhua feel a lot more at ease.
After taking in a deep breath and exhaling it, a smile appeared on Nangong Qianhua's face once again.
"You're right. This princess will first be the concubine of Big Brother Zhan in peace. Don't think about anything else, the more you think about it, the more agitated I become."
"This is the princess that this servant knows." She stood up and took the big red cap from the side and held it.
"Princess, the bridal sedan that came to pick you up should be arriving soon. This servant will cover your head first."
Seeing Nangong Qianhua nod her head, Peony used a red veil to cover her head.
Not long after, the bridal sedan chair came to pick up Nangong Qianhua and bring her to Zhao He Palace.
Although it was a grand wedding ceremony, there was no feast at all. It was as if the wedding had taken place.
However, this was already sufficient for Nangong Qianhua.
In addition, her consort ceremony was something that the other consorts couldn't ask for.
Within Zhao He Palace, Nangong Qian Hua was sitting on the edge of the bed, quietly waiting for the arrival of the White Battlefield.
"Creak …"
When she heard the sound of the door being pushed open, Nangong Qianhua instantly tensed up. Her hands began to tremble slightly.
"Princess, this servant has come to announce the decree. Princess, please lift up your head and step forward to listen to the decree."
The eunuch's sharp voice rang out. Nangong Qianhua widened her eyes in fear as she tore off the veil covering her head. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu
Outside the door stood Zhang Quan De, not the white warrior she longed for.
"Proclamation? What decree? Where is the emperor? Where's my big brother Zhan? "
After standing up and walking to the entrance, Nangong Qianhua angrily asked Zhang Quan De.
Zhang Quan De's face looked a little awkward, but he was also in a bit of a dilemma.
"Reporting to the princess and the emperor's whereabouts, this servant cannot casually speak of it. This servant has only come here on the orders of the emperor and is here to announce the decree."
Narrowing her eyes, Nangong Qianhua bit her lips and coldly asked, "Announce what decree!"
"Princess, please accept this decree."
Holding the bright yellow imperial edict, Zhang Quan De saw Nangong Qian Hua slowly kneel down and spread out the imperial edict, and began to read it out loud.
"In accordance with the wishes of the heavens, the emperor decrees: The Princess of Heaven's Radiance, Nangong Qianhua, is graceful and virtuous, is dignified and elegant, is intelligent and intelligent in nature, and will be bestowed with an official title of imperial concubine in the future. Here I come!"
"Imperial Concubine Yi, please accept the decree."
As Zhang Quan De's voice faded, Nangong Qian Hua extended her hand and received the bright yellow imperial edict from Zhang Quan De.
"The Empress' decree has been accepted, so this servant will take his leave first."
After kneeling on the ground for a long time, Nangong Qianhua was unable to get up.
As he looked at the words written on the imperial edict, his eyes began to ache and tear up.
"Princess, are you alright?"
After Zhang Quan De left, Peony who was waiting outside walked over, and helped Nan Gong Qian Hua up.
"Hoh, on the day of the grand marriage, he actually only sent eunuchs to announce the decree. This princess has waited bitterly for ten years for this peony. Could it be that I was waiting for him to disappear on the night of his wedding? "
Tears rolled down his eyes and burned his cheeks.
When she saw Nangong Qianhua crying, she felt endless pain for him.
After helping her sit inside the hall, he advised, "Princess, don't be sad. Your majesty is always busy. Perhaps he was delayed by some matter. Who knows, maybe his majesty will come later."
"If that's really the case, then this princess is not an unreasonable person. I've waited ten years for this day, but why hasn't he shown himself? Am I so boring to him? I'm so fed up with it that I'm not willing to see it! "
"Princess, the emperor …"
"Enough. Stop talking. Leave. Leave this princess alone for a while."
Paoyao was ready to open her mouth to persuade her again, but she was stopped by Nangong Qianhua. In the end, she still decided to leave.
At this time, on the other side, at the Hibiscus Courtyard.
Hua Mu Jin sat in the pavilion, looking up at the night sky, her face somewhat lonely.
"Empress, it's late at night. The sky is cold, so be careful."
To the side, Green Bamboo watched the hibiscus, somewhat worried.
"How can it be cold in the middle of the summer? Don't worry, I'm fine. Go in first, I'll sit for a while."
Although Hua Mujie really believed in Bai Zhan, but her man was currently spending the night with a woman, so she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.
"Then this servant will go and get a coat for you so that you won't catch a cold."
Shaking his head, the bamboo turned around and walked into the palace.
As soon as she had taken her coat, one foot on the threshold of the palace, she saw the figure of a white warrior not far away.
"The Emperor …"
Green Bamboo was about to kneel down and bow in panic, but he was stopped by Bai Zhan Ke's raised hand.
Walking forward to take off the outer garment in her hands, she gazed at the flower wood hibiscus in the pavilion not far away.
Afterwards, he slowly walked over and draped the outer garment over Hua Mujiao's body.
"Green Bamboo, do you think that he has already gone through the marriage ceremony with Nangong Qianhua?"
Hua Mu Jin didn't turn around, thinking that the green bamboo had brought the outer garment, so she asked. What she didn't know was that the person standing behind her right now was Bai Zhan Ke.
After a while, she didn't hear the green bamboo's reply. Hua Mujie's lips twitched.
"Forget it, I better not think about it. The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel."
As she spoke, Hua Mu Jin prepared to return to the palace to rest.
However, the moment she turned around, she was stunned as she looked at the man standing there with a faint smile, unable to believe it.
"You, you …"
"Why, are you unwilling to see me?"
After sizing up Bai Zhan Ke, Hua Mujiao was still extremely surprised by his appearance.
"No, why are you here? Shouldn't you be at Zhao He Palace?" Why are you here? "
Looking at the astonished Hibiscus vulgaris, Bai Zhan Ke stretched out his hand and caressed her head.
"On the side of Zhao He Palace, I ordered Zhang Quan De to go and announce the order. "I've come to you after reviewing the memorial."
"…"
For a time, Hua Mu Jin was somewhat speechless.
Bai Zhan Ke's unexpected appearance had indeed surprised and delighted her. However, in her mind, she thought of Nangong Qian Hua's face.
She asked, "This ceremony was originally in the form of a grand marriage. If you leave her at Zhao He Palace tonight, it will arouse criticism. What are you going to do next? "
She couldn't push her man to another woman.
However, as a woman, although the other party was ordinary, she also felt that such an ending was rather bleak.
"I have my own ways to deal with it, you don't have to worry."
Seeing that Bai Zhan Ke was extremely confident, Hua Mu Jin pursed her lips and smiled at him.
"Mm, I believe you. It's just that she's a princess after all. If this were to happen, her pride would definitely be thwarted. Since you married her … It's better to reduce the damage done to her. "
"Since she chose to enter the harem, she has made all the preparations."
Looking at the white battleship, Hua Mujiao kept feeling that there was something strange on his face, but he couldn't say it out loud.
"Go back to your room, don't catch a cold."
In the end, Bai Zhan Ke still ended up in the palace.
On the second day, the news spread like wildfire. Nangong Qianhua was left out in the cold, and not only did the emperor not go to Zhao He Hall to greet her as husband and wife, he even stayed in the palace.
