The little lady of Xuanmen has become popular in the sixth palace by fortune-telling

Chapter 94 Flop
The scene suddenly froze.

Shen Shensi was a little anxious. She wanted to stand up and say a few words for Xu Anan, but Xu Anan gave her a calm look. Shen Shensi could only sit and look at her worriedly.

Seeing Xu Anan slowly kneeling on the ground, Queen Mother Cen slightly raised her lips. Her back was straight and she did not lower her head while kneeling.

But Empress Dowager Cen didn't care whether she was convinced or not: "Today you will kneel for four hours. You are not allowed to get up without Ai Jia's order."

Four hours is eight hours. If she doesn't kneel down, the root of the disease will fall on her legs.

Meng Jiayi looked expressionless from all directions, Yu Ruoxi drank tea calmly and was not worried at all, Shen Shen was anxious while thinking, Hu Cairen frowned slightly, Li Bi's gloating about her misfortune was barely written on her face, Lan Jieyu remained indifferent, Liu Meiren lowered her head to reduce her presence.

Xu Anan looked around and then looked away. Empress Dowager Cen turned to talk to Meng Jiayi: "It's better that you understand the general situation and go to find the emperor so late."

Meng Jiayi's expression was calm: "This is what I should do as a concubine."

As soon as she finished speaking, the eunuch's announcement came from outside.

"The Emperor is here!"

The people inside immediately looked towards the door, and Cheng Huai, wearing a black gold dragon robe, also strode in.

Before Xu Anan turned around, her arm was pulled by Cheng Huai. She stood up and Cheng Huai stood in front of her. His expression was cold: "What does the Queen Mother mean?"

Empress Dowager Cen narrowed her eyes slightly, her face changed quickly, and she became friendly again towards Cheng Huai: "It's just that Concubine Ming's behavior was a little unruly. The Ai family wanted to give her a small punishment to make her remember. Unexpectedly, this person has not yet How could I be punished? The emperor came first, and the wind was blowing very fast."

Empress Dowager Cen was just rounding the corner and saying that Xu Anan was complaining.

Xu Anan pinched her thigh, her eyes instantly turned red. She looked at Cheng Huaiye with grievance: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. The Queen Mother said that I took you drinking last night. It was disrespectful. Wow. , I just said that you also need entertainment, the Queen Mother said that I have charmed the monarch, and I will be punished by kneeling for a day, I am unjust!"

Cheng Huai also lowered his eyes to look at her. Xu Anan's charming eyes were filled with tears, which fell down her cheeks in a blink of an eye, looking very charming.

Maybe it's already charming, but she doesn't know it?

Cheng Huai also stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, and then looked at Empress Dowager Cen: "Drinking was suggested by Erchen, and it was Erchen who asked Concubine Ming to go to the lotus pond to accompany Erchen. This punishment by the Queen Mother is not fair, and it is not as good as you." Punish me first?"

Meng Jiayi's pupils shrank, and the calmness she had pretended to be cracked when she came to Xiangning Palace. How could he, how could he protect her to such an extent? He made it clear that Queen Mother Cen wanted to punish Xu Anan and anger her. Got him.

Meng Jiayi's hands hidden in her sleeves closed tightly, she lowered her eyes and stopped looking at him.

Empress Dowager Cen smiled: "The Ai family did not expect that the emperor has the opposite temperament to your father." She changed the topic: "The Ai family also cares about the emperor, fearing that you will indulge in beauty and delay the government. Moreover, the matter of the emperor's heirs should also be mentioned. It’s on the schedule, you have been guarding the late emperor for three years, and he came to you in your dreams to blame the Ai family for not supervising you properly and not drafting properly for you.”

"There are still a few people in the emperor's harem. Tomorrow the Ai family will hold a banquet to select your concubines. I guarantee that they will all be gentle, virtuous and beautiful."

Cheng Huai also frowned at her and said nothing.

Empress Dowager Cen then sighed again: "In ordinary people's families, if you are as big as yours, your children will run everywhere. You are the king of a country. You must have heirs to stabilize your foundation and have heirs so that the courtiers can assist you with peace of mind." On your side, please start turning over the names of the concubines and concubines tonight, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

Empress Dowager Cen's words were like a sudden thunder, causing the calm pond to become turbulent.

Meng Jiayi looked at him with slight expectation.

Xu Anan raised her head slightly and looked at his profile. His expression was dull and his thin lips parted lightly: "Okay."

Yu Ruoxi looked at him with some surprise, and then ignored the matter again. The expressions of the other concubines were even richer, ranging from joy to worry.

Queen Mother Cen's agreement with him was expected. If he disagreed, she would use filial piety to suppress him until he agreed. Cen Xingluo must have a legitimate child.

Fortunately, he was decisive, which saved her some words. "If there is nothing else to do, I will leave first."

Empress Dowager Cen nodded, and Cheng Huai took Xu Anan and left.

As for Xu Anan, she couldn't move for the time being, so she turned a blind eye to Cheng Huai's behavior of taking her away.

Outside the temple
Fuling was relieved to see her come out intact, it was really scary.

She and Eunuch Yu followed at a distance.

Xu An'an praised Cheng Huaiye shamelessly: "Your Majesty, you came too soon, otherwise my body and legs will be destroyed."

Cheng Huai also looked at her: "Are you afraid?"

Xu Anan shook his head and smiled: "I am not afraid, because I know that the emperor will come, and I am not afraid when I think about you."

Cheng Huai also raised his lips imperceptibly: "What if I didn't come?"

Xu Anan frowned: "You can't be so cruel, right? I am being punished because of you. You can't burn bridges by crossing the river."

"I keep my word and won't let her hurt you."

Xu Anan looked at him, hesitating to speak, thinking about the bargain he had just promised. Yes, he was a king. Unlike ordinary people, the three palaces and six courtyards belonged to him.

This is a normal thing. The moment he agreed, Xu Anan felt a little disappointed.

She opened her red lips slightly and whispered: "You..." She just uttered one word and realized what position she wanted to take.

The relationship between her and Cheng Huaiye was hazy, but no one was willing to break this barrier. She shook her head, just eat and wait to die. Why did she think so much? It would be natural for the boat to reach the bridge. .

"what do you want to say?"

Xu Anan shook his head: "It's nothing. Does the emperor want to go to my concubine's palace to sit for a while?"

"I won't go. I still have to deal with government affairs. You can go back by yourself."

Xu Anan watched him get on the chariot, and then he got on the chariot and returned to his palace.

"Host, I just noticed that the target of your attack is not in a high mood. In fact, you can comfort him appropriately."

Cheng Huai also propped his head and slightly raised his eyebrows.

Feeling down?

He thought about it carefully and it was true that the back of his head was drooping a bit.

"Why?"

After all, Zero Zero Seven comes from modern times, and its concepts are relatively avant-garde. It coughed lightly: "Is it because you are going to marry another woman? That's why she was sad. In our place, we don't like three wives." The four concubines are all monogamous."

This was also the first time Cheng Huai had heard of this kind of system. In Daqi, three wives and four concubines were the norm. There was no wealthy family in Qi Jing who did not have several concubines.

Even his noble aunts also had concubines at home, and they raised them themselves for the sake of Quan's reputation as a virtuous woman.
