Descending Phoenix- To be Emperor - C294
Duan Huayin was sensible and knew better, the imperial concubine was very satisfied, and continued.
“Your majesty has been obsessed with the Dao of longevity all these years, so you don’t have much of an interest towards your concubine in the harem …” Since the beginning of the talent show, only Su Caijun and Li Wanshu had gained the favor … However, if the princess is willing to stay in Fragrance Palace forever, and accompany me. I will naturally treat you as my younger sister.
These words were tactfully spoken, but the meaning behind them was very straightforward.
The imperial concubine had clearly told Duan Huayin that the Emperor, who had no desire to be a woman and become a concubine after entering the palace, would likely face a fate of not being able to be favoured or promoted for a long period of time.
But if Duan Huayin did not mind this point, then the imperial concubine would naturally bring her along to become his trusted aide. Regardless of status or materials, she would not treat them lightly.
Even when Duan Huayin heard it, he still kept his head down, and didn’t even move his eyelashes.
Seeing Duan Huayin not moving, the imperial concubine knew that she had no intention to be the imperial concubine. In that case, she really wanted to be the imperial concubine.
Imperial Concubine lightly furrowed her brows. Could it be that she was really afraid of something? Why?
After Duan Huayin entered the capital, she was escorted by Shen Youhuang. They had met a few days ago, and the two were chatting outside the Qianyuan Palace.
Could it be that after everything that had happened, Duan Huayin had really been tempted?
The imperial concubine laughed and said: “The princess is seventeen years old. Although she is not much younger than me, she is still young. “Which young lady doesn’t want to have a husband who’s about the same age and has an outstanding appearance …”
After Duan Huayin heard this, his face flushed red. He was so embarrassed that he did not know how to reply.
The imperial concubine continued, “I, the three princes of Grand Moon, Prince Cheng, am 21 years old and have yet to have a main wife. As for the youngest, Yu Su, he is already 15 years old. There was also the His Highness King Yu. Even though he already had a main wife, but with his title of being the prettiest man in the world, there were many noble families looking on helplessly. These three are the same age as the princess. May I know if the princess has noticed them? ”
Duan Huayin lowered her head, still acting “as per imperial concubine’s arrangements”.
But when the imperial concubine mentioned King Yu Shen Lingjue, Duan Huayin’s face suddenly turned as red as a budding red rose, becoming more and more charming, even her gaze had turned slightly blank, as though she was lost in thought.
The Imperial Consort was extremely puzzled.
This Duan Huayin actually liked the King Yu?
Could it be that in the Nanyong Pass, she had heard of Shen Lingjue’s heroic and dashing fighting on the battlefield, so she fell in love with him at first sight? It was also possible.
The Imperial Concubine revealed an almost imperceptible smile. The feeling of looking up to a hero, she was also a woman, of course she understood.
However, the King Yu already had a main wife, and she was on good terms with Feng Ningyan, so their relationship was much better than gold. Between them, they might not even be able to get a needle in.
If the imperial concubine arranged for Duan Huayin to enter the Prince Yu’s Mansion, wouldn’t Feng Ningyan resent the imperial concubine? This was going to be tricky.
But as long as you know where Duan Huayin’s heart is, your imperial concubine is confident of holding onto Southern Frontier Princess.
As for Feng Ningyan, she was still the daughter in law of the imperial family, how could she be a pampered? Sooner or later, they would have to accept the fact that King Yu had three wives and four concubines, right?
Thinking of this, the Imperial Concubine felt more at ease.
After she finished probing Duan Huayin’s intentions, the imperial concubine changed the topic and brought up something else. “Speaking of which, since His Majesty has been so ill lately, the empress dowager has no intention of taking care of things.
“Imperial Noble Concubine has worked hard,” Duan Huayin said with a gentle smile, following her words. “However, this is also because Imperial Noble Concubine is capable. Just by looking at how organized the palace is, you can tell that the Imperial Noble Concubine is not simple. ”
The Imperial Concubine was pleased by her flattery as she patted Duan Huayin’s hands, “Girl, your words are really like the spring breeze. How is there anything amazing about me?
“However, there are too many things to deal with in Departmant Six, and today the empress dowager is going to hold a Plum Blossom Meet. I heard that before, the princess was also in charge of matters of the palace in Southern Frontier, so why don’t you help me handle some matters of Departmant Six?”
Duan Huayin never thought that his imperial concubine would trust her so much, and was overjoyed in his heart. She nervously said, “Since the Imperial Noble Concubine has something to entrust, Hua Yin will naturally do his best to help the Empress share her worries.”
The imperial concubine nodded her head in satisfaction. “Princess, you should get used to Da Yue’s life at the palace. When the emperor’s body is fully recovered, I’ll advise the emperor to propose a marriage for you. I’ll definitely make a good husband for you.”
Seeing that the imperial concubine did not say who she planned to betroth her to, Duan Huayin’s heart was filled with mixed emotions.
The two of them reached Xiang Yi Hall in the midst of their conversation, and with the palace maids and eunuchs surrounding them, the two of them walked into the hall and settled Duan Huayin’s luggage. When the imperial concubine was thirsty, she asked Jiang Tao to boil some tea to serve her.
At this moment, young eunuch outside the hall reported in a hurry, “Reporting to Imperial Noble Concubine, Princess Hua Yin, Prince Cheng requests an audience.”
The imperial concubine frowned, she knew that Shen Youhuang was well-informed, the moment Duan Huayin entered the palace, he had heard of him and came over.
“Send him in.”
Shen Youhuang had originally been going to the imperial court, but after entering the palace, he heard that Duan Huayin had entered the palace and was being placed in the Yi Xiang Palace.
The Yi Xiang Hall was very close to the imperial concubine’s Chen Ming Palace, the meaning behind the imperial concubine’s roping in was self-evident, so Shen Youhuang naturally had to come over to express his “concern” and “stance”.
Seeing Shen Youhuang coming over with a smile, the imperial concubine asked in a kind tone: “Prince Cheng is a rare guest, why did you greet me today?”
Shen Youhuang laughed coldly in his heart: “When I passed by during the imperial court meeting, I heard that Southern Frontier Princess entered the palace, so I came to visit as a form of friendship.”
The Imperial Consort glared at him in displeasure and did not reply.
In front of the imperial concubine and the palace maid, Duan Huayin could not help but keep quiet.
Shen Youhuang suddenly went cold, and could only find the right words to say: “So many days have passed, I wonder if Imperial Noble Concubine has finished preparing the items needed for the King Yu couple’s funeral?”
The imperial concubine’s expression turned cold and the anger in her heart started to surge. However, it couldn’t be said that the King Yu and the imperial concubine weren’t dead yet, so she could only look towards Duan Huayin:
“There are so many things to do in this palace, how can I possibly be busy? Right now, with the help of Princess Hua Yin, I believe that everything will be ready soon. Prince Cheng need not worry. ”
Shen Youhuang also looked at Duan Huayin, she was dressed in crimson palace uniform today, her face was pretty, but it was redder than usual, making her look even more charming.
That peerlessly beautiful face flashed by in front of Shen Youhuang’s eyes. He couldn’t help but become absent-minded for a moment, and his smile had also become a lot gentler. “So it’s actually been arranged by the princess. The Princess is so intelligent that these trivial matters must not be a problem. ”
Duan Huayin put down his tea cup and replied with a light smile, but his eyes did not make contact with Shen Youhuang. “Hua Yin is foolish.
Shen Youhuang got the answer he wanted, and the people around him reminded him, it was time for the assembly.
However, his heart was lacking as he gently said to Duan Huayin, “Princess Hua Yin, this king is going to leave, aren’t you going to send this king off?”
