Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

The two of them drank tea in the pavilion, and Concubine He picked up a pen to write a letter and immediately sent it to Jizhou.

'The Queen handed in her Phoenix Seal, Concubine Die was deposed, the people were in turmoil but the palace was not in turmoil, and Master Liu and the Imperial Concubine were having a leisurely tea.'

When Tan Qianhuan saw the second half of the sentence, his eyes sank and he calmly burned the letter.

"Good Xier... I miss you every day..."

Ever since these things happened, everyone in the harem has been quiet for half a month.

Ran Qianxi was as favored by the emperor as ever. Even during her menstrual period, Baili Yong accompanied her day and night.

"Your Majesty, would you like to accompany someone else?"

On that day, Baili Yong was holding her while reviewing memorials, looking like a despotic ruler.

"Will you be angry if I go?"

"I'm not angry..."

Baili Yong smiled, fed her a plum, and took care of the memorials.

"Okay~ Then let's go to Concubine Wan's palace tonight."

Ran Qianxi suddenly sat up from his lap.

"Are you really going? You didn't go when Yue Xin was with you, but now you want to go after Yue Xin is gone!"

Although Baili Yong was reviewing memorials all the time, he still couldn't help but smile with joy.

"Didn't you let me?"

"I said this on purpose, but to prove the fact that I am the favorite..."

Baili Yong naturally knew her little trick, and just when he wanted to respond, he came to ask for an audience with the prince.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince would like to see you."

Baili Yong raised his eyes to look at the palace gate, then looked back at Ran Qianxi.

"Say I'm busy."

Ran Qianxi just couldn't stand him summoning the concubines, but she never had any hostility towards his children.

"You can't even see my own son, you really want to be a tyrant..."

Baili Yong smiled faintly.

"If I become a tyrant because of you, when the country is destroyed and my family is ruined, you might abandon me and run away."

"I will live and die together with Your Majesty in this life! We will advance and retreat together!"

Ran Qianxi's serious expression successfully made Baili Yong laugh. No matter how serious she was, in his eyes she looked like she was joking.

"You are not allowed to lie~"

Ran Qianxi raised three fingers above her head with confidence, and before she could say anything, Baili Yong leaned over and kissed her.

The huge meeting hall was shrouded in the emperor's favor, and just like that, an absurd act took place in the hall.

Half an hour passed and Ran Qianxi put on her clothes leisurely.

"This is truly a demon concubine and a tyrant..."

She put on her clothes and stood up to leave, but was stopped by Baili Yong, and the ambiguity and tenderness in his words were still there.

"Where is my beloved going~"

Ran Qianxi gave him a perfunctory smile and pushed him away.

"Should I say, the king is here to arrest me..."

Baili Yong's face was filled with even more smiles. She could always easily make herself happy.

"You can say that."

"Can I have fun with you tonight?"

"You are truly my beloved concubine, so you are going to abandon me?"

Ran Qianxi couldn't help but smile, as if she was coaxing the ruler of the world as if she was coaxing a child.

"The queen has been locked up, and the prince is quite young, so the palace servants are always careless about him. I'm going to the East Palace to see him."

Baili Yong let her go with relief.

"Okay."

The East Palace was as quiet as usual. Ran Qianxi was surrounded by a peaceful atmosphere, and her every frown and movement seemed a little unnatural.

The prince was sitting at his desk copying a book, with Liu Xun supervising him beside him. Although he was young, he had the calm temperament of an adult.

"Little Prince~"

Baili Ji and Liu Xun looked up at the same time. Ran Qianxi's eyes were all on Liu Xun. Her uncle's beauty was fully visible.

"Your son pays respect to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

"Haha, you're quite sensible. Get up."

"I am naturally sensible. Because of my mother's negligence, I almost harmed the Imperial Concubine. I feel uneasy."

Ran Qianxi smiled and helped him sit back.

"It's not your fault, don't feel guilty. I got you something delicious, do you want to try it?"

Looking at the bowl of soft and chewy cheese, Baili Ji was curious.

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine."

He picked up the jade cup and took a sip, and joy immediately appeared on his face.

"Haha, isn't it delicious?"

"Mmmmm...very delicious."

Ran Qianxi smiled proudly and brought a bowl to Liu Xun.

"Uncle~"

Liu Xun stood up and bowed.

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine."

Looking at his distant actions, Ran Qianxi felt lost again.

"Master Liu, you are so polite..."

"I dare not be rude."

Ran Qianxi glanced at him, feeling nostalgic, and turned back to the prince.

"Study hard and I'll take you to fly a kite tomorrow."

"My son, I obey."

After she left, Liu Xun felt sad looking at her back. This was clearly the woman who could accompany him in the study from noon to night, but now he couldn't even touch her.

The hour of Hai was approaching, and Ran Qianxi came to the palace again with cheese. Baili Yong was busy with government affairs, but he was accompanied by Concubine Wan.

"Humph, he really dotes on this Concubine Wan..."

If she hadn't disdained to compete for favor, she would have thought of a hundred ways to kill Concubine Wan.

"His Majesty."

She walked into the main hall in a bad mood, and Baili Yong looked up with joy.

"What did Xier bring?"

Ran Qianxi glanced at Concubine Wan. Having learned her lesson from last time, she immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Your Highness pays respect to the Imperial Concubine."

"Get up."

Baili Yong knew she was madly jealous just by looking at her expression. He smiled with relief, put down his brush and took the cheese.

"Is it made for me?"

"No, it's not... it's what the little prince left over... it would be a shame to throw it away..."

Baili Yong's face was full of smiles, but he was obviously still jealous. It was obvious that Cheese had made a special portion for him.

"That's just right for me to eat."

Ran Qianxi stared at Concubine Wan, wishing she could crush her with her eyes.

"Why are you still standing there? I'm going to sleep with His Majesty!"

Baili Yong glanced at her and smiled unbearably. His jealousy was terrifying and his possessiveness was so strong.

"Yes, the concubine is retiring."

After Concubine Wan left, Ran Qianxi sat down angrily.

“It’s really infuriating.”

Baili Yong put down the porcelain bowl, and the cheese was completely gone.

"Any more?"

Ran Qianxi stood up angrily again and took the bowl away.

"What a delicious treat! Wait!"

Baili Yong smiled, stood up and followed.

"But it's in your palace? I'll go with you."

The two of them walked along the long street, in peace and quiet. Without the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers during the day, there was only the dim candlelight, as if there were only the two of them here.

"What did you do with her?"

Baili Yong smiled at Zhu Yan, he must not miss this good opportunity to tease her.

"Good job."

Ran Qianxi stopped in an instant, with a murderous look on his face.

"What a wonderful thing! Can you smile like this?"

"Well... Concubine Wan is very gentle anyway..."

Since Baili Yong said so, it was impossible for her not to have some bad thoughts.

"Tsk! What's the point of being gentle? It's all in vain without interest."

"Haha, how did my beloved concubine know that she has no interest in romance?"

Ran Qianxi glanced at him.

"If they are interesting, can you like me?"

"Hahaha... No one is as interesting as Xier."

"Humph, why are you so eager to ask her to accompany you? It's just a routine matter."

Baili Yong smiled.

"Yes, how about I just keep you company tonight?"

"That's fine."

After favoring Ran Qianxi for more than half a month, the previous dynasty wrote letters one after another to inquire about the affairs of the harem, especially Xie Ying, who mentioned several times that the Imperial Noble Consort had no children and the Empress's virtue was overshadowed. There was also an important general of the country who cried about his sister falling out of favor, and a minister also spoke loudly to win favor for his daughter.

There is a close connection between the previous dynasty and the harem. Since ancient times, every king has racked his brains to weigh the pros and cons. There are always concubines in the harem, and the disputes in the previous dynasty will never stop.
