Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

Could it be that he had this precognitive dream because he had a lifelong regret towards Aqin in his previous life?

This is just a guess. A gentleman does not talk about strange things. Let's observe it first.

However, Xie Yun's gaze was too scorching, and it was hard for Jin Zhao not to feel it. He turned around to look, but Xie Yun had already withdrawn his gaze.

Jin Zhao followed the direction of Xie Yun's gaze and saw that the handsome man in navy blue robe sitting at Xie's seat was silently picking up the wine glass and drinking it all in one gulp.

His movements were graceful and natural, but his indifferent eyes seemed to hide a barely perceptible loneliness.

Jin Zhao looked at this scene and couldn't help feeling a little confused. He didn't understand why Xie Yun had such an expression.

He turned his head and looked at his charming fiancée sitting at the table with Cui's women. Cui Xianxian's gaze was glued to him, her eyes full of obsession and attachment.

Jin Zhao raised his lips slightly, revealing a polite and light smile. Seeing this, Cui Qianqian's cheeks immediately flushed, and her fox eyes were full of affection, sending her a wink, as if she wanted to seduce Jin Zhao's soul away.

However, although Jin Zhao had a decent smile on his face, he was irritated and annoyed in his heart. He did not have much affection for Cui Xianxian, an overly charming woman, but because their marriage was arranged by his father himself, he had to accept it.

Jin Zhao couldn't help but think of his sweetheart who was far away in Jingzhou. That little girl had cloud-like hair and beautiful face, graceful figure, and charming manners. She was like a fairy from the sky. That was what he had always dreamed of.

It would be great if Qin'er could also attend such a banquet.

Thinking of his sweetheart, Jin Zhao couldn't help but raise a gentle smile.

Last time, he sent Qin'er a lot of jewelry and wrote her a letter, expressing his love for her. But Qin'er hasn't replied to him yet. What's going on? Did she not receive it?

For some reason, Jin Zhao suddenly felt a bad premonition.

Could it be that Qin'er was really seduced by that pretty boy?

This is impossible! Qin'er treated him sincerely, and the relationship between them was so deep, how could Qin'er betray him? It must be because they had been apart for too long, and Qin'er was angry with him, so she deliberately acted like a spoiled child.

Jin Zhao kept finding various reasons for Luo Qin in his mind, but his hand tightly holding the wine bottle still couldn't help but reveal his inner tension.

It seems that I have to find a way to go to Jingzhou in person.

After the dinner, many guests began to leave the hall.

Outside the palace, the lights were still dim, and Guyu and Jingzhe always accompanied Jin Zhao towards his Yongshou Palace.

Just as Jin Zhao left, Xie Yun also walked out of the banquet hall. Looking at Jin Zhao's receding back, Xie Yun's eyes seemed particularly deep and distant.

According to old rules, except for the crown prince, other princes of the Jin Dynasty would be granted the title of king and a royal palace when they turned thirteen and moved out of the palace.

However, the Second Prince was different. His biological mother, Yang Guipin, died during childbirth. He had been weak and sickly since birth and had to take medicine all year round. The emperor took pity on him, so he made an exception and allowed him to live in Yongshou Palace. After he got married at the age of 20, he was conferred the title of prince and given a mansion.

But in his prophetic dream, the final ruler is indeed this reclusive and apothecary Second Prince...

The night was deep and the palace was brightly lit, like a cluster of stars falling to the ground.

The palace servants walked lightly between the palaces, their figures looking particularly graceful under the light. They were dressed in gorgeous court costumes and walked lightly, as if they were in a fairyland.

The palace servants held lanterns, and the flickering lights illuminated the way ahead of them. The faint candlelight reflected the handsome and mysterious face of the Second Prince. He walked lightly, as if blending into the quiet night.

After gradually moving away from the crowd, Jin Zhao asked his attendants Guyu and Jingzhe, "Didn't you receive Qin'er's letter today?"

"No, Your Highness," Guyu replied.

After hearing this, Jin Zhao's calm and handsome face showed a hint of disappointment.

For no apparent reason, Jin Zhao suddenly felt like the concubines in his father's harem waiting for the emperor's favor...

Jin Zhao couldn't help laughing at the strange thought that flashed through his mind.

How could he be a concubine? He could only be the emperor who controlled life and death.

When the plan is accomplished in the future, bring Qin'er to Jiankang and make her a noble concubine.

The highest level of rank in the Jin Dynasty's harem was the empress, the emperor's principal wife and the head of the harem.

After that came the three wives: noble concubine, madam, and noble lady, who were ranked below the queen.

Next are the nine concubines: Shufei, Shuyuan, Shuyi, Xiuhua, Xiurong, Xiuyi, Jieyushi, Ronghua and Yunhua, each of whom has different responsibilities.

Finally, there are countless beauties, talented people, and mediocre people.

Considering Qin'er's background, he had done his best to allow her to be a noble concubine. With him protecting her, how could Qin'er not have smooth sailing in the harem?

It's just that Qin'er always likes to take advantage of my affection for her and act like a spoiled brat. I have to teach her well in the future. In this palace, proper etiquette must not be abandoned.

Thinking of the future reunion with Luo Qin, Jin Zhao smiled. With his hands behind his back, he strode into the Yongshou Palace surrounded by a group of palace maids.

……

That night.

Muhua Courtyard of Xie Mansion.

In front of us is the crowded market entrance. On a square platform one floor high, girls dressed in their best clothes come on stage amid everyone's anticipation. They either play the strings of the piano, dance gracefully, or sing.

The audience below cheered and applauded continuously.

The women on the stage were full of affection, dancing with their sleeves, like fairies descending from the earth. The music was gentle, the singing was melodious, and the dancing was graceful, making people intoxicated.

This lively scene is like a gorgeous painting, showing the talent and charm of the girls.

Xie Yun's illusory body stood in the crowd, letting them move around. He saw five famous scholars sitting under the stage. He saw himself and Wang Zuo watching the performance of the girl on the stage intently.

Is this... the Flower Festival?

It's what's going to happen tomorrow!

Xie Yun's eyes slowly swept around, and sure enough, he found the Second Prince Jin Zhao, wearing a light green robe, in the crowd!

Next to Jin Zhao stood a woman named Cui Xianxian, who was wearing a bright red robe with a long hem and a long bun, and had her hair done in a double-knife bun and a lot of gold hairpins and step-shaking ornaments.

From a distance, Cui Xianxian seemed to be shyly talking to Jin Zhao, and their actions seemed extremely intimate.

Although Xie Yun was not aware of the entanglement between Aqin and the Second Prince, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Aqin in his heart. No wonder Aqin chose to sever her relationship with Jin Zhao.

After a while, after a woman's performance on the stage finished, Ah Qin, wearing a light cloud-colored dress with a long sash and a graceful low bun, came onto the stage with a guqin in her arms. Her beautiful face, even with a little makeup on, was still breathtakingly beautiful.

In an instant, the eyes of everyone present were as if attracted by a magnet, firmly fixed on this extremely beautiful woman.

Jin Zhao was also extremely shocked. He stood in the distance with his eyes wide open, staring at Aqin with sharp eyes, not moving at all.

Seeing this scene, Xie Yun realized that his previous guess was correct. Aqin did not tell the Second Prince about her arrival in Jiankang.
