C93 Yan Wan's depression

When Shen Qi was wondering about this result, the Yan Nation's Duke Palace was not calm either. The one who had always been hoping was the young miss, and the Second Miss was only there to make up for it. In the end, the carefully groomed young miss was not selected, and the Second Miss was the one who was selected.

As long as a girl from the Palace was chosen, it didn't matter whether she was a young miss or a Second Miss. It was a pity that his own daughter was not chosen. Although they were all young ladies of the Residence of the Duke of Guo, their niece and daughter were still separated by a level.

Yan Wan had always liked Prince Xian, but now, she was going to be the imperial concubine of the emperor. How could she feel good about that?

Who would dare disobey the emperor's decree? If it were anyone else, she would be able to speak with the empress dowager's aunt and complain, but what about now?

She dared to say that if she dared to find the empress dowager and say that she wasn't willing to become her concubine, the empress dowager could tear her apart! He dared to despise her son. He was simply tired of living!

Even though the empress dowager had always wanted her to be Duke Xian's lateral consort, at this time the emperor had chosen her to serve the emperor. She definitely hoped in her heart that she could treat the emperor well and forget about her cousin, but if she were to show her displeasure, the empress dowager would probably make her see it for herself.

So there was nothing she could do about it now. She had to force a smile at the congratulations of others. How come she had suffered so much in her entire life? For a moment, he was very dissatisfied.

However, the imperial edict had already been issued, so what could he do about his discontent? She had to go back to her mansion and prepare. She had to avoid even meeting Elder Cousin Duanren Emperor in the future because she was spoiled and not a fool. She knew this better than anyone and was even more desperate because of it.

Different from her unsatisfied despair, Yan Rui was now surrounded by a huge surprise. When she was carefully nurtured by her father to send him to the palace, she had been resentful, but she knew that it was useless complaining, because the clan had raised her. Because the clan had raised her, she had to contribute to the clan, and this was equivalent to repaying her father for raising her.

She had silently built up her mental state to deal with this situation. She had to protect herself even if she had to enter the palace. However, she hadn't expected that such a change would occur just as she was resigned to her fate. How could she not be pleasantly surprised?

Although he felt slightly sorry for Yan Wan, he couldn't deny that Yan Rui was rejoicing at this moment. Fortunately, it was not him, but fortunately there was Yan Wan.

Even when she returned to the mansion, the disappointment in her father's eyes did not affect her good mood. She did not need to enter the palace, she did not need to enter the palace gate that was as deep as the sea.

No matter what, the Duke Palace was still a joyous affair. Faced with the congratulations of the bystanders, his face was filled with happiness. Shen Qi had also sent someone over to send a present, so she didn't need to provoke Yan Wan.

She couldn't believe that the emperor really didn't know Yan Wan's thoughts and the Duke of Guo's thoughts. So since he knew, why did he still do this on purpose?

So when he returned at night, he asked Prince Xian, "Prince, was it your intention for Yan Wan to enter the palace?"

King Xian hadn't expected her to ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment before reacting. "The Duke of Guo's estate wants their daughter to enter the palace." This king will help them. As for which one of them is going in, it's not something the Duke's Palace can say.

"Then what does the emperor mean?" Shen Qi still couldn't help but ask. After all, Yan Wan's heart had never been hidden, so it wouldn't look good if something were to spread in the future.

"Allowing Yan Wan to enter the palace is royal brother's intention." King Xian nonchalantly said.

Shen Qi, "..." Alright, I was just thinking too much. I've already discussed it with him, so why should I be worried?

Seeing Shen Qi's contemplative face, Duke Xian immediately pressed the person down below him, looked at her with deep and serene eyes, and said: "Princess should be thinking about this duke, so there's no need to bother with the other matters." This King will take care of it. You just need to be at ease under this King's wings.

Yan Wan's entrance into the palace had already become a foregone conclusion, and the State Duke's estate could only respond. They happily sent their men in. No matter what everyone thought, nothing went wrong.

After Yan Wan entered the palace, Xie Shihan smiled meaningfully at Shen Qi at a gathering. Shen Qi felt her teeth ache when he saw her, "What kind of expression is that?"

Xie Shihan looked around Shen Qi for a bit, then clicked her tongue, "It's not the same, a woman who has experienced love is different. Look at you, your face is currently rosy, and your eyes are filled with spring. She emphasized the word "love" in particular.

Shen Qi was about to roll her eyes, those who did not know what was going on would think that she, Xie Shihan, had worn it.

"What's wrong with you?" "My second cousin can't satisfy you. His expression is so unsatisfied with his desires, and even his words carry a sour taste." Shen Qi immediately pushed him back, facing Xie Shihan, if you're shy, she can bully you to death.

Xie Shihan curled her lips in amusement, then casually sat down, "Right now, I'm really a bit envious of you." After which, he shook his head.

Shen Qi looked at her and laughed, "What do I have to be jealous of?"

Xie Shihan looked at her and snorted, "Don't tell me you don't know how Yan Wan entered the palace." I will look down on you.

Shen Qi laughed and shook her head, "Just this?" Seeing her nod, he continued, "Is it even worth your soreness?"

Xie Shihan shook his head, "You don't understand, this is a question of attitude. You don't know Yan Wan's conflicted expression back then! But Yan Rui was happy, my uncle's plan failed in the end. "

"It can't be said to have missed. He should be a lot more at ease with the mansion's young lady in the palace." Shen Qi felt that entrusting the prosperity of a family to a woman was not very reliable, and it also made him rather disgusted.

Xie Shihan shook his head first, "That might not be the case, do you know who else entered the palace with us?"

Shen Qi looked at her. Who made her feel threatened? With the empress dowager in the palace, as long as Yan Wan didn't court death and infuriate the emperor, no matter what, the emperor wouldn't treat her unfairly on account of the duke's estate and the empress dowager's face.

"When Prime Minister Qin's daughter, Qin Xiang, entered the palace, she was immediately bestowed the position of fourth rank official, which was one head higher than Yan Wan's fifth rank. There were barely any concubines with any background in the palace, and which one of them did not rise after accompanying the Emperor for a long time or because they had Long Si?! This time, Qin Xiang was bestowed with such a high position the moment she arrived, it can be seen that the Emperor truly likes it. " Although Xie Shihan didn't believe that the emperor had any true love left either, she still treated Qin Xiang quite specially, and couldn't help but cause him to think deeply.

Speaking of which, Shen Qi remembered that Shen Fei had completely offended her. Slap her in front of so many people, wouldn't she hate Shen Fei? What kind of sparks would the emperor's new and old love strike together this time?

Shen Qi could already predict that the palace would be bustling with noise and excitement. She didn't know what the emperor was thinking, was it on purpose? She didn't believe that he didn't know anything about what had happened.

So at that moment, there was someone in the palace who was both worried and resentful, and Qin Xiang was actually left with a plate?! And why did she suddenly confer the title of emperor? That fake woman, why would she want to force someone else under her?

She was fuming and cursing inside the palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs did not even dare to breathe out, afraid that their master would notice that they were being dragged down for no reason. When she was tired of cursing, they would sit there clutching their stomachs, still thinking about how to suppress them before she could take action.

Hmph, where in the palace did people get along with each other? Don't just look at how intimate the older sister and younger sister are usually. I don't know how they think about scheming against others, other than the Tender Consort who doesn't fight over it.

When the Prime Minister's estate's Qin Xiang found out that she was bestowed the title of his concubine, she was also pleasantly surprised. In the future, who would dare to bully her?

Prime Minister Qin was not as optimistic as her, he looked at her daughter with a complicated expression. He didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but he didn't believe that his daughter would be so kind to him because he trusted her. A distraction?

It had to be said that a person who could become prime minister wasn't stupid. He could always see through the phenomenon.

The Shen Fei had been rather depressed over the past two days. On the first day the newbie entered the palace, the emperor had already flipped open Qin Xiang's name.

And the other reason for Shen Fei's depression was because she could not recall what Qin Xiang had done in her previous life. When she got married, Qin Xiang was just like Shen Qi, a little girl. Even if she met her, she wouldn't know what would look like when she grew up.

Furthermore, after she got married, her life became unwell due to illness, and she busied herself with the struggles in the backyard, thinking about how to fight for the rights and not pay attention to what was happening outside. This was the reason why she did not recognize Qin Xiang when she first met him.

At this time, she was a little regretful. If she paid more attention, she might be able to understand more about who Qin Xiang was.

But it was too late to say anything, so he could only send someone to investigate about Qin Xiang's situation in the palace. The palace maids reported that Qin Xiang had always been very low profile before she entered the palace, and rarely came out.

Furthermore, with Prime Minister Qin's protection, it would not be an easy feat to find out about Qin Xiang, so the only thing Shen Fei could do was to sulk.

Although Shen Qi did not know about the situation in the palace, she knew that Shen Fei would definitely not have it easy going. She did not want to get involved, but facing Shen Fei, this type of person who only wished to court death if she had nothing to do, Shen Qi was extremely annoyed. And just based on what the Shen Fei had done to her before, Shen Qi felt that it was enough for him not to take revenge on her.

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was about to arrive, there was the sound of being harassed by the barbarians at the border. During the past two days, King Duanren got busy again, only returning after Shen Qi had fallen asleep, but when Shen Qi woke up, he had already left.

So she hadn't seen the Prince for a few days, because she knew that he was busy, she told the kitchen to prepare some food that the Duke would like to eat at all times. When he came back, she let him fill his stomach, and if Prince Duanren got busy, he would forget to eat, while the others wouldn't dare to persuade him. Shen Qi was more worried that his body would have to be arranged by itself.

The servants in the mansion now all knew that the best way to curry favor with the prince was to make the princess happy. As long as the princess said something, there were few who would object to it.

This day, Shen Qi was discussing some matters with a few servants when she suddenly heard that the Duke had returned. Shen Qi was stunned for a moment, and looked at the sky outside, it was not dark yet, why is it so early today?

Zi Zhu and the others backed away with a meaningful glance. Then, they saw King Duanren walk in with a solemn expression. When he saw the wangfei, his stern expression softened and he quickly walked in front of her.

"My lord, why are you so early?" Shen Qi wanted to help him change his clothes, but Duke Tai stopped him.
