Chapter 59: Concubine Feng
A few days later, there was no movement from Long Yuechen. Xia Qiqi completely gave up and collapsed on the bed, feeling inexplicably irritated. Just when he was at a loss, an imperial edict suddenly came.
Visit the concubine!
When Xia Qiqi heard that she was blocked, she was in a daze. If Yang Chun hadn't come over and patted her on the shoulder, she would have probably been stupid.
Concubine!
When she saw boxes of gold and silver jewelry being carried into her yard, she finally confirmed that Long Yuechen was not just a joke this time, but really wanted to make her a concubine.
But, why?
Looking at the happy and excited faces of the crowd in the yard, Xia Qiqi was filled with doubts.
These days, Long Yuechen has never visited her or summoned her. Even Wei Heng and Jing Yi have never appeared. She almost thought that Long Yuechen had forgotten her, so why did she still make her a concubine?
Xia Qiqi's head has been drowsy these days. Long Yuechen has been granted her concubine, but this doesn't seem to be granted a concubine.
According to general circumstances, it is a very grand thing to be granted a concubine in this world. Not only do you have to change the courtyard, but you also have to pay homage to the emperor and thank them for their kindness. Even on the day of the concubine, you have to do such indescribable things with the emperor.
Xia Qiqi didn't want to do that with Long Yuechen, but she was so simple that she was a concubine, and it was very strange in any aspect.
Xia Qiqi was very confused, and even the concubines in the harem were also confused.
At this time, they were also guessing what Long Yuechen meant.
Obviously, they have never encountered this situation.
Long Yuechen conferred Xia Qiqi as a concubine, but they had never done many things to confer Xia Qiqi as a concubine. They didn't know whether this matter was done on purpose or they wanted to confer Xia Qiqi as a concubine.
Everyone was guessing in their hearts, and they couldn't make up their minds for a moment, so they mentioned this matter in a roundabout way when they greeted the queen every morning.
The next morning, Long Yuechen got off the morning court and met the queen when he returned to the Golden Palace.
The queen went to the Golden Palace together on the grounds that she had something to come to him.
At the beginning, the queen took out the pastry she had prepared with a smile on her face and let Long Yuechen eat it. She talked about some irrelevant things, until she felt that the time had come, so she began to ask Long Yuechen.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you named the former prime minister's legitimate daughter a concubine a few days ago. I don't know if this matter is true."
The queen said it very obscurely. After all, she is the gentle and gentle mother of a country, and she should pay attention to her kind and considerate image.
But what she meant was very clear.
First, I hope Long Yuechen understands that Xia Qiqi is the daughter of the former prime minister. To put it bluntly, it is inappropriate to say that Xia Qiqi is the daughter of a traitor and is named a concubine.
The second is to hope that my considerate and care can penetrate into Long Yuechen's heart.
"This is indeed the case."
Long Yuechen nodded. Since he had decided to declare the imperial edict, he had never thought of denying it.
"Why didn't the emperor tell me that I would be ready, so as not to say that our royal family is stingy and arrogant, and would not even see a concubine who was granted or even give a gift."
The queen smiled again. Long Yuechen frowned.
The queen is still twenty years old and is the daughter of General Zuo. She is still too eager. Long Yuechen has been in power for many years, so she can naturally guess her intentions, but she is too arrogant and thinks that she is talking perfectly.
In fact, from the beginning, Long Yuechen guessed what she was going to do, but he didn't say it out for a long time. As soon as he granted Xia Qiqi's position as a concubine, the queen came. The answer was naturally clear!
"No, she is just the daughter of a sinner."
Long Yuechen's eyes flashed sharply, and he continued to speak as the queen's words.
A trace of astonishment flashed in the queen's eyes, but in just a moment, she quickly regained her style as a mother of the nation and said understandingly.
"Emperor, although she is the daughter of a sinner, she has now become your concubine and your sister. Please don't be too jealous."
The queen lowered her head and glanced at Long Yuechen with her aftertaste.
She said this, naturally it was impossible for her to really think about Xia Qiqi, just to earn a beautiful image for herself.
"Queen, don't worry about this matter for the time being, I have my own plans."
Long Yuechen's attitude was a little tough. The queen had already realized that he was unhappy, so she stopped talking and said a few irrelevant words, and left.
Long Yuechen looked at the queen's back as she left, and his eyes were cold.
...
The queen was not happy on the way back.
First, because she didn't get the answer she wanted today, and second, because she had already felt the difference between Long Yuechen and Xia Qiqi.
Visit the concubine, visit the concubine.
The word "玉" itself has the meaning of beauty and beauty, and it is homophonic with the word "wu". Anyone who is a little careful can guess the meaning of this.
My beautiful concubine.
At this moment, the queen clearly felt that the most dangerous person had been neglected by her.
She thought Xia Qiqi was the daughter of a criminal minister and was in the cold palace, so she never had the chance to turn over again, so she never cared about her.
Unexpectedly, today she actually brought such a big turn. In addition to so many concubines in the harem, she provided a good opportunity for this little bitch to take the opportunity to seduce the emperor!
The queen's long fingernails were almost embedded in her palm, but she didn't even frown and her face looked ferocious!
...
Since Xia Qiqi was named a concubine, she has become much more peaceful than before. This is not because she has finally become peaceful, but because she is irritable and full of doubts recently. If she does not resolve her doubts, she cannot calm down and play.
When I was bored, I would take out the last time Long Yuechen punished her to copy the national laws, and the woman would still have the pen, paper and ink left to draw.
The technology here is not very advanced. Although paper has been invented, it must be a brush, not even a charcoal pen. So I didn’t have a long time to do it, so I wiped all my face and hands.
After the last time copying the national laws and the experience of the girl, Xia Qiqi knew nothing about the use of brushes. After drawing for a long time, at least she still drew some decent things.
For example, helokitty, the Blue Fatty, she drew based on her memories of her previous life. As for why she wanted to draw these, it was not that she liked these images in her previous life, but based on her level, she could only draw these simple things with simple lines. If she asked her to draw other things, she might not be able to write them.
She thought Long Yuechen would not come to her again, but she was wrong again.
On that day, she was holding a brush and dipping it ink. She was painting the fat blue head. Suddenly, a black shadow covered her gaze. She Xia Qiqi raised her head in confusion and looked at the shadow. Then she exclaimed in an instant, "Ah!" and quickly threw away the brush in her hand and stood up. The brush just fell on the snow-white rice paper, dyeing the rice paper into a pool of black.
"Am I that scary?"
Long Yuechen did not wear that bright yellow today, but a light white dress, which made him look a bit more elegant.
"You...why are you here..."
Xia Qiqi said tremblingly, and her body quickly blocked the table, put her hands behind her back, and wanted to hide the rice paper.
She painted Fatty Blue, a very classic animation in her previous life, but there was no animation in this era. Those artists painted some landscape paintings of characters. Even if Long Yuechen was the emperor of a country, he would never have seen the image of Fatty Blue. She was afraid that Long Yuechen would have doubts about her when he saw it.
Long Yuechen has always not believed in the saying of the strange power and chaos, but if he really knew something strange, he would definitely think too much, maybe he would think that he was secretly sending messages with her brother who had never seen him, and dragging him out and beheading him.
"Are you nervous?"
It was not a question, but certainty. Long Yuechen's eyes were placed behind Xia Qiqi. When she saw a piece of rice paper in her hand, her eyes turned cold and she said immediately.
"What are you hiding in your hands?"
Long Yuechen has been observing his expressions all year round, so he naturally saw Xia Qiqi's vision early in the morning. Although Xia Qiqi is very good at stealing things, she is not good at lying, especially in front of Long Yuechen. As soon as she lies, she feels panic and is easily discovered.
Xia Qiqi was frightened by Long Yuechen's sharp eyes. His hand holding the rice paper shook, and the black ink-covered rice paper fell to the ground. Xia Qiqi quickly bent over to pick it up. Long Yuechen had already walked to her before, and used his internal force to grab the rice paper directly.
Since the rice paper had just wade through a large piece of ink, the ink was not dry yet. Long Yuechen grabbed the big hand and grabbed the ink that had not been dry yet. His hands were stained with ink. He frowned and did not throw away the rice paper, but picked it up, walked to a position, sat down, and looked at the rice paper in his hand carefully. Xia Qiqi followed him timidly, seeing him holding the rice paper seriously, he was about to speak, but in the end he still didn't say it.
The things have now come to Long Yuechen's hands. If she insists on finding an excuse to bring the rice paper over, Long Yuechen will definitely be even more suspicious, so she thought about it and wait until Long Yuechen finished reading the rice paper and then find an excuse to explain.
Long Yuechen looked at the image on the rice paper seriously, his brows getting tighter and tighter.
Although the rice paper was accidentally dyed a large piece of ink and blocked the image some, he could still vaguely see the general shape and lines of the image.
Unlike the famous paintings he has seen, the lines of these images are very rough and the curves are not graceful.
If this picture itself is not very good, it would be fine if it was made up and painted, but Long Yuechen would only laugh at Xia Qiqi's painting skills as vulgar.
But the problem lies here. Although these lines are rough and not soft at all, they are very complete if they are pieced together.
Although he couldn't see what Xia Qiqi was doing, he could see that this was definitely not a random painting.
If so, the question arises, what exactly is this painting, and why he has never seen such a strange image!
