"Yan'Er!"

Liu Yuanzhan was the first one who noticed the inklings. He subconsciously stood up and worriedly looked at his daughter who was dancing on a piece of paper.

Liu Ruyan gave her father a comforting smile as she continued stepping on the plum blossom with her bleeding jade legs.

The branches on the Plum Blossom Tree had already appeared on the paper. Everyone did not know that the Plum Blossom was drawn out with her blood, so they were astonished, thinking that Miss Liu Family had some sort of special trick to make the ink red.

Lian Chengming who was on the dragon throne did not say a word, his eyes staring deeply at the dancing figure.

Use blood to draw a Plum Blossom Diagram?

This frail and weak girl could actually hold onto her injured legs and dance and draw with an indifferent expression. Was she trying to show her loyalty to him on behalf of Liu Family?

However, was this action of hers she was thinking of, or was it the arrangement of her Liu Family?

Lian Chengming's mind moved, he shot a glance at Liu Yuanzhan, only to see that his face was filled with worry, and he did not take the chance to show his loyalty.

So, all of this was the little woman's own thoughts?

The man's cold eyes that contained a trace of inquiry and surprise was seen by Liu Ruyan one by one. She knew that she had endured the pain of drawing this Plum Blossom Painting and had finally succeeded.

The music changed from lively to passionate, Liu Ruyan's body spun as she finished drawing a Plum Blossom Painting. She then swung her sleeves and started to draw on the top right corner of the paper.

As the last drum beat down, her body gracefully performed a salute, her voice melodious and clear, "Your servant's daughter, Liu Ruyan, wishes to God the Emperor good fortune."

Her face was so beautiful that even her plain makeup was suffocating. Lian Chengming's mind moved, her sharp eyes stayed on her blood-stained embroidered shoes for a moment, and her tone was extremely calm:

"Liu Aimin has given birth to a good daughter. Someone, come and sit!"

When he was dancing just now, he didn't feel anything, but now that he could sit down, the pain in his leg was heart-wrenching.

However, she could not allow herself to be the slightest bit lacking, and continued to endure while suffering from the pain. Lian Chengming indifferently swept his gaze over her and looked at the Plum Blossom Painting.

The blood and ink was bright and exquisite, the branches were strong and powerful. It could be said that it was a supernatural work of art. Especially the line of delicate handwriting in the upper right corner, it showed the painter's knowledge and thoughts.

"To become an official in body and to become a wise man, one can do nothing to them even in times of times." "The Son of Heaven has a kindness as tender as water. Liu Yin, who died because of Xu Shen, is now dead."

It was a very obscure loyalty poem.

She knew that Lian Chengming was a talented person who cultivated both martial arts and martial arts alike. Hence, in the short span of an hour since his rebirth, he had racked his brains to come up with this poem.

Not knowing how Lian Chengming would react, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but feel anxious in her heart. She could only hold onto her handkerchief tightly and quietly observe Lian Chengming's expression.

When Lian Chengming saw her perturbed expression, he felt a strange sensation in his heart.

Why, he wasn't afraid when dancing and he wasn't afraid when composing poems. But now, he knew how to be afraid?

Lian Chengming stared at the small face with interest, and spoke with an indifferent and low voice:

"General Liu Yuanzhan's daughter, Liu Ruyan, intelligent, virtuous and virtuous, even to the extent of my heart, has been conferred the title of a genuine third grade Concubine Hui.

It was a third grade weapon!

It had to be known that Lian Chengming had only just ascended the throne, so there were not many concubines in the harem.

The one with the highest position was the concubine in the crown prince's residence, a second stage Consort Lee. This Liu Ruyan, not only is she a third rank young master, she also has the title which the Emperor has personally bestowed upon her.

Liu Ruyan lowered her eyebrows and looked down, watching everything silently.

She had long thought that with today's adventure, if Lian Chengming didn't kill her, he would definitely let her become his concubine. Only, she hadn't thought that he would receive such a high position and honor!

"This subject thanks Your Majesty for his love!"

"beloved consort doesn't need to kneel down and thank us. We have already ordered people to prepare a sedan. beloved consort and Liu Aiqing, we will sit in it together and return to our residence."

Liu Ruyan was startled for a moment, only to see Lian Chengming giving her blood-soaked embroidered shoes a meaningful look under his skirt, her eyes deep.

Thus, he was … Are you concerned about me?

The reason why Lian Chengming gave her the title of Concubine Hui might not necessarily be because he liked her, but it could also be because he valued the power behind Liu Family and the intelligence she displayed today.

But at least, Liu Ruyan was certain that Lian Chengming had intentions of winning over his Liu Family.

As long as she was cautious and prudent, her Liu Family would definitely be able to prevent the annihilation of her clan in this lifetime.

Thinking about it, Liu Ruyan's eyes filled with tears. She bowed to Lian Chengming who was sitting on the dragon throne, turned around and followed Liu Yuanzhan and Mrs. Liu back to the General's Mansion.

On the carriage heading back home, Liu Mengdia's eyes could not hide the jealousy and hatred in her eyes.

"Congratulations, sister. I was just kind today and almost ruined your plans!"

Was he being kind at the moment? Liu Ruyan covered the disdain in her eyes and sneered.

"Sister must be joking. I would really like to thank that dumb servant who clumsily hid the broken porcelain in my shoes. He let me profit from this disaster. When I return, I will definitely find that servant and reward her well!"

The implied meaning was that she already knew who had done it. In her eyes, that person was nothing more than a servant.
