Forced to marry as a concubine: the prince is too presumptuous

Chapter 67 Doubt

The heavy palace gate was slowly pushed open, and the guards who guarded the gate immediately let it go when they saw it was Yan Mo's carriage.

This is Ximo's first time entering the palace, and the scenery in the palace is really beautiful. Looking out from the raised curtains, there are green grass, colorful flowers, small bridges and flowing water, just like a fairyland, she can't help but imagine the people who live here Sometimes, it's a pity to look at the beauty, but it's a pity that it's dirty under the beautiful coat. She has heard that the women who live in this palace are rarely happy, because, the emperor There is only one, but there are countless concubines, and it is doomed that there must be a fight between the women, and it will never stop.

"My lord, it's still early, where is my lord going first?" Wangfu's voice came, and there was a fork in the road ahead, and he was waiting for Yan Mo to make a decision.

"Go to Guangyuan Palace, first go to see the concubine mother, and prepare the things I want to give to the concubine mother."

"Yes." Wangfu put down the curtain of the carriage and ordered the coachman to drive the carriage to Guangyuan Palace.

Inside the car, it fell silent again. Ximo didn't know much about Concubine Shu, but only knew that she was Yan Mo's biological mother, and even the emperor's biological mother, but occasionally she would have a strange feeling that Yan Mo was older than her. Yankang, however, it was Yankang who sat on the throne instead of Yanmo. However, these were not something she could figure out. The bloody storm in the harem was beyond the knowledge of outsiders.

The carriage stopped quickly, and when Yan Mo grabbed her waist, he carefully avoided her lower abdomen, and when he jumped off the carriage with her, a deacon aunt was already standing in front of the carriage, "Huan Yan sees the sixth prince, The concubine has invited the Sixth Prince and Lan...Little Lord Lan to come in." She hesitated for a moment, as if she had to think over and over before she knew how to address her.

Ximo nodded, smiled and followed Yan Mo along the long corridor to the hall of Guangyuan Palace. All the maidservants along the way were standing still like sculptures holding their breath. She is so majestic, she is the emperor's biological mother.

The door curtain was lifted, and Ximo came in slowly, directly opposite Concubine Shu was sitting on a carved wooden chair, watching her come in, and greeted her: "Huan Yan, serve tea quickly, the Ai family finally saw Ximo gone."

That call was actually kind, but Ximo's heart was still nervous, she prostrated herself and fell to her knees, "My concubine, Lan Ximo, sees the concubine."

"Get up." When Concubine Shu's voice floated, her people had already got up, and they came over to help her up.

Ximo hurriedly stood up, how dare she bother the concubine.

"Look, this appearance is really handsome, three points more beautiful than I imagined, Mo'er, did you bully others?" Concubine Shu looked at Ximo lovingly, that made her think of her own mother, In the past, her mother treated her like this, but now, she even has little hope of seeing her mother.

"Mother Concubine, no." Yan Mo said respectfully, with a more friendly tone in his tone, but it lacked his usual majesty.

"I don't believe it, I heard that Lan girl was injured a while ago." Concubine Shu took Ximo's hand and sat on the chair that was just prepared at the side, with soft cushions on the chair surface, As if afraid of her coughing.

Ximo was a little apprehensive. This Concubine Shu must not know her past experience in Qijiang, otherwise, how could she treat herself so kindly? Thinking of those things, she felt uncomfortable all over, as if she had said something Children who lie and do wrong things always feel guilty when facing adults, but why did she miss it?It was Yan Mo who was really wrong, not her.

After that, she didn't remember what Concubine Shu had said to her at all, but she responded when Concubine Shu asked, and soon after, Yan Mo's servants brought many rare treasures, all of which It was presented by Yan Mo to the concubine. Among them was a night pearl, which was the size of a quail egg. Concubine Shu couldn't put it down and played with it for a long time.

"Mo'er, today is the emperor's birthday, you don't give him presents, why do you give me so many presents, aren't you afraid that the emperor will be jealous and mournful?"

Yan Mo smiled, but his eyes were full of deep meaning and sent to Ximo, "Don't be afraid, Ximo will give Mo'er a big gift to the emperor."

At this moment, everyone's eyes in the hall fell on Ximo. Concubine Shu turned around and said with a smile, "Miss Lan, do you have any gift for the emperor? Why didn't I see you?"

Ximo really wanted to give Yan Mo a hard look. It turned out that he had asked her to prepare a gift but he didn't have any. She didn't know if her gift would be successful or not, but now she can only be hard-hearted. , "Returning to the empress dowager, yes, Xi's gift is a piece of qin music, and the qin is in the carriage right now."

"Oh, so it's playing the piano." The concubine was a little disapproving, looking at Yan Mo's expression as if warning, as if saying: This gift is a bit too ordinary.

"Concubine Mu, Mo'er's piano is no worse than Concubine Mu's back then." Yan Mo looked at Xi Mo proudly and said with a smile.

"Hehe, is it? This has aroused Aijia's curiosity, Huanyan, let's see what time it is, the banquet is going to start early today, I can't wait to hear Lan girl playing the piano."

"Mother and Concubine, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Why is it getting dark? Tonight, there will be fireworks."

"Well, yes, I also told them not to make the noise of the fireworks louder, then it will be bad if you have a baby startled." Turning around, Concubine Shu looked at Ximo again, "Blue girl , you must stay close to Mo'er tonight, so that the Ai family can rest assured."

"Yes." Ximo replied lightly, but she didn't know if she could stay close to Yan Mo, at that moment, she only felt that Yan Mo would not protect her tonight, on the contrary, he would leave her alone in the palace The main hall, just because he wants to find the person who has been murdering his children.

That person was able to avoid him invisibly, which shows how capable that person is. Thinking about it now, he even has a lot of hands and eyes.

At this moment, a person's name flashed across his mind, and that was Yan Kang.

Is it really him?

It seemed that he was the only one who dared to confront Yan Mo.

But they are brothers.

Ximo didn't believe it, and she never believed that that person would be Emperor Yankang.

Maybe it was her feeling that was wrong.

From Guangyuan Palace to Qianxin Palace, there is Concubine Shu's phoenix chariot in front of her, and Yan Mo beside her. At this time, she seems to be majestic, but only she knows how disturbed her heart is. The babbling is not because she is afraid of something unexpected happening to her, but because she is worried about the fetus in her womb. One hand always falls unconsciously on the lower abdomen, as if, when there is a throwing knife or something, her hand can block it. everything.

But her hands are also flesh.

Quietly, neither of Yan Mo and her spoke, twisting the hem of their clothes with their hands, the time suddenly became unbearable.

"Concubine Shu is here..."

"The Sixth Prince and Young Master Yan are here."

The eunuch who reported the report involuntarily gave a pause when he read her identity. Perhaps, the people who came to the emperor's birthday banquet should be both noble and distinguished, and she was the only one who was just a concubine.

Slowly stepping through the high threshold of the main hall, Ximo's heart seemed to jump in her throat. There were so many people, even the emperor and empress arrived early. It seems that Concubine Shu didn't even think about arriving early. Afterwards, her prestige became more evident, and Yan Mo and her naturally took advantage of her prestige.

All the concubines in the palace were extremely beautiful under the heavy makeup, and the woman who belonged to the lower rank was extremely beautiful. She was dressed in a bright goose yellow palace dress but did not show the vulgarity of that color. On the contrary, she only let her It looks elegant, graceful and luxurious, and the emperor sitting beside her is even more graceful and handsome. On the emperor's right hand, a woman has already been seated, and she should be about the same age as Concubine Shu , that is the current empress dowager, unexpectedly, she also came.

Calmly following Yan Mo's side, Ximo forgot all her fears. Since she came, she would face it calmly. Concubine Shu slowly walked towards the empty seat on the queen's side, which was specially reserved for her. Let's go, and her next head is Yan Mo and Xi Mo.

Ximo carefully supported the maid's hand and sat beside Yan Mo. Behind her was the Qin that brought her. Sure enough, Yan Mo didn't prepare any presents for the emperor to celebrate his birthday. This is special.

But Ximo couldn't tell where it was so special.

Her eyes always glanced at the emperor and empress inadvertently. This was the first time she saw the emperor and empress, and she felt that the whole palace of Ganxin was brightened because of the beauty of the two of them.

The queen is so beautiful. Apart from these two words, she couldn't find any adjectives for a while.

Just when Ximo's eyes fell on the queen unconsciously, the queen suddenly smiled at her. In that gentle smile, a pair of big black and bright eyes seemed to be able to speak.

When she looked back at the queen, she suddenly found that the empress dowager sitting next to the emperor was also staring at her closely, as if she was a monster.

The Empress Dowager never cared about political affairs, nor did she care about the affairs of the harem. All the affairs in this palace were handed over to Concubine Shu. I heard that she only had the title of Empress Dowager, but in fact, she had no power at all.

Looking at the queen mother, Ximo suddenly became sad. The queen mother has nothing to do in her life, so she is doomed to be lonely all her life. Thinking, her hand fell on her belly again, her child must be fine.

There was a sudden warmth on the elbow, and Ximo suddenly came back to her senses, only to realize that it was Yan Mo's hand that seemed to have touched her inadvertently.

At this time, Yan Mo was raising the teacup on the low table in front of him, took a sip of the tea in the cup, but put it down immediately, then, without looking at her, he said in a deep voice: "You can eat or drink whatever you want. It won’t work until someone else has tried it.”

"Oh." He seemed to be kind, but thinking of the trauma that the vase fragments had brought to her body before, she would not believe his kindness.
