My Lady is well

Table of the rank of imperial concubines in the Jin Dynasty

The yard looked particularly crystal clear after being washed by rain, and the colors of the broken chrysanthemums scattered on the ground were also very bright, like an embroidered painting.

I would rather die by holding the incense stick, and never blow it down in the north wind.

The proud chrysanthemums could not withstand the continuous ravages of the cold wind and sparse rain, and finally fell down.

Shen Yueyao was wearing an autumn-colored jade brocade dress, sitting lazily on the swing in the pavilion, charming and beautiful. A long tassel pearl hairpin with two flowers on the side of her hair was like a smart butterfly, swaying gently by her ear.

These past few days, her heart had been like it was hanging by a thin thread, being up and down in anxiety and unable to find peace.

She didn't know what trick Li Ning had to save her. She hated the feeling of having her fate controlled by others, but now she had no say in it.

After pondering for several days and still having no clue, she decided to stop torturing herself.

She let out a long sigh, freed herself from her thoughts, and when she heard a cat meowing, she asked softly.

"Where's the big fat ball? Why haven't I seen it these days?"

Jin'er stood behind her dejectedly, gently pushing her back and pouting.

"Master, it's already this late. Do you still care about that fat cat? I don't know where it has gone, and I don't know if it will come back. It's like a wild cat all day long. Next time it comes back, find a cage and put it in."

"It's just a cat, why are you so mean to it? It likes freedom, just let it run. Don't worry, it will come back sooner or later."

Jin Er said in a low voice, "Master, is that the cat's fault? I am worried about you. Look, now the Crown Princess has become the Queen, Master Li has become the Imperial Concubine, even Master Yang and Master Song have been crowned as Concubines, and Master Li is also a Concubine. Why did you get left out? I really don't know what the Emperor is thinking. He should at least give you a position."

Position?

She didn't dare to imagine that in the original novel, Shen Yueyao was made a concubine, but before she could move into her own palace, her crimes were exposed and she was tortured to death.

Shen Yueyao smiled helplessly: "Jin'er, you really dare to think so. I just hope that the emperor can have mercy on me, spare my life, and drive me out of the palace. It would be best if we never see each other again in this life."

Jin'er paused and blinked twice in panic.

"Master, what are you talking about? The emperor shouldn't... punish you, right? I saw that the emperor liked you very much in the past. Shouldn't...?"

Thinking of the arrow that took her life that day, she smiled coldly and said with a hint of sarcasm.

"I hope not, but he will not show mercy. If he does, he cannot be the emperor."

Jin'er didn't care, always feeling that the emperor would not be willing to punish his master.

He smiled and asked, "Master, if the emperor really lets us go, what position do you think the emperor will give you?"

Shen Yueyao thought about it and said casually.

"I don't know. Being his woman won't end well. If we are lucky enough to escape this disaster, we can live a good life, enjoy the snow and rain, and drink tea in our spare time. Isn't it leisurely?"

Jin Er nodded happily, then asked again with a turn of her eyes: "What about the Emperor?"

"What does it have to do with him? Why should he be in my plan?"

"Don't you like the Emperor at all?"

like?

She seemed to have heard some terrible joke. In the storybook, the one who could fall in love with the hero must be the heroine.

As a villain supporting character who is hated by the hero, she has been struggling to save her life.

Falling in love with him, in the end, you lose your life, your heart, your body and your soul, that is the true cruelty.

Shen Yueyao frowned and shook her head firmly, "I don't like it."

A cold voice came from behind, intimidating without even being angry.

"A traitor is worthy of this?"

Shen Yueyao felt a chill on her back and held onto the swing rope tightly with both hands, her heart sinking.

Ruined!

I accidentally told the truth, and Jin'er was really screwed by her this time.

Why does he always like to appear behind people quietly? What is this habit?

When did he come? How much did he hear?

Shen Yueyao pursed her lips tightly and comforted herself in her heart, "Calm down, calm down."

She slowly stood up and turned sideways, and saw Jing Ruzhang wearing a bright yellow brocade robe embroidered with a pattern of a soaring dragon over the sea. The corners of the robe were golden waves, and the golden dragon was leaping, looking magnificent.

His handsome face reflected the faint sunlight, his eyes were like a cold pond filled with broken ice, and his whole body exuded a cold kingly aura.

Shen Yueyao's heart trembled. After the last arrow, she no longer had any hope of begging for mercy from him, but she still maintained politeness on the surface.

She knelt down and kowtowed to Jing Ruzhang, but due to her current embarrassing identity, she refrained from introducing herself.

"Greetings to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

Jing Ruzhang narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of anger in them, and asked her coldly while staring at her.

"Shen Yueyao, do you admit your guilt?"

Shen Yueyao lowered her head and thought about it. What did he just say? Traitor? Of course, she couldn't admit this crime. This was a crime of confiscating the property and exterminating the clan.

Besides, she didn't commit treason. She just did what he said. How could she become a traitor now?

She just wanted to escape.

Shen Yueyao said calmly, "I admit the crime of fleeing the palace without permission, but I don't admit that I am a traitor as your majesty said."

Jing Ruzhang hated her indifferent and distant look at this moment. He breathed heavily and spoke in a cold and joking voice.

"Really? What happened to the token?"

"... at most it is... concealment."

"Deceiving the emperor is also a capital crime."

Shen Yueyao fixed her eyes on the ground, her thoughts in a mess, her eyes slightly red, and there was a crystal clear light in her eyes, filled with a pool of sadness.

She clenched her hands and bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, trying hard to suppress the sourness that spread over her heart. Her shoulders trembled slightly and her voice was low and a little hoarse.

"If I plead guilty, can you let the Shen family go? They know nothing."

The light in Jing Ruzhang's eyes became increasingly cold and deep. In the past, she would show weakness, beg him with tears in her eyes, make up some excuses, or simply seduce him.

It was never like this, he saw something breaking in her.

Everything before was an illusion. Only what she just said about not liking him was real.

A hint of mockery suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was laughing at her, and also at him.

Did he really come to confront her?

If he wanted to punish her, when had he ever punished her cruelly? But she didn't know how to appreciate it.

When he heard those three words, his heart seemed to be tightly gripped by something. Besides anger, there were some other emotions, he couldn't tell which one was which, he just felt extremely uncomfortable.

How could he be disturbed by such feelings? Was she really guilty of such a heinous crime?

She just doesn't like you and wants to escape.

Jing Ruzhang cursed himself in his heart. He was the emperor, how could he indulge in love affairs?

He clenched his fists tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning blue and white, and after a moment, he slowly released them.

He turned around and spoke in a deep voice, gritting his teeth.

"Go to Yingxiu Palace, and don't let me see you again."

Shen Yueyao was startled. When she looked up, he was gone. She was stunned for a long time before she suddenly realized what was going on and asked Jin'er.

"What is Yingxiu Palace?"

Jin Er frowned and said, "That's where the concubines live. The emperor is...giving you the position of concubine."
