Dong'er couldn't persuade him, as his Majesty used to come once a month. They all saw clearly that his Majesty was reluctant.

I went in only after I had prepared myself, and came out after more than a quarter of an hour.

Cry, cry, His Majesty won’t feel sorry for you even if you cry.

……

——Yaohua Palace——

Concubine Qin and Concubine Zhang are kneeling and receiving punishment!

"Idiots!" Concubine Wan didn't even look at Concubine Qin and Concubine Zhang. "What use do I have for you? You can't even fight for my favor."

Concubine Qin and Concubine Zhang were so frightened that they kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy, "I know I was wrong. Please calm down, Your Majesty!"

Concubine Wan snorted coldly and said, "Concubine Zhang, Concubine Lu entered the palace with you. Not only was she promoted to a noble lady, but she is also a noble lady with a title. I'm afraid you can't even see what His Majesty looks like! The people in the harem will definitely compare the two of you. It's not just me who will be embarrassed, think about your family." There was a threat in her words.

After the two left, Wanpin's personal maid Cuiyu said, "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. I heard..."

She whispered a few words in Wanpin's ear.

Wanpin couldn't help but glared at her fiercely: "That's the way of the brothels. How can you keep a man with your beauty for long?"

Cuiyu: "But men just fall for this kind of thing. If she has more tricks, will His Majesty still remember you?" Although he might not remember you in the first place.

Wanpin frowned and said, "In that case, we can't let Lu Zhihuan become more favored. If we don't get rid of him soon, he will become a serious problem. Cuiyu, what are your plans?"

Cuiyu rolled her eyes and leaned close to Wanpin's ear to whisper something. After hearing this, Wanpin smiled shyly. Do all men like this?

"You are right. What use is a county magistrate's daughter to Your Majesty? She is nothing more than a toy."

There had never been too much intrigue in the harem for so many years, and this balance had never been broken. His Majesty treated everyone equally, so was there something truly extraordinary about her?

The two people who had just been punished were supported by palace maids and walked to their own residence. Their faces looked a little gloomy, as if shrouded by a layer of dark clouds. Concubine Qin bit her lip tightly, her brow furrowed, and her hands trembled slightly.

Lady Zhang lowered her head, her eyes wandering, as if she was thinking about something important.

She walked a long way before she stopped and looked back, her eyes full of resentment.

The Empress Dowager chose her to enter the palace because she had many brothers and sisters.

Zhang Qingyan thought that the emperor would come to the harem one day, and it was only a matter of time before she would serve him in bed.

Concubine Zhao is just a bit pretty, but the Empress Dowager will not let her monopolize Your Majesty's possessions.

There is a long way to go, and who knows who will be favored in the future!

She was young, unlike Concubine Wan and Concubine Qin who had been in the palace for several years and were several years older than her.

She snorted coldly, "Why is it that the older you get, the more unstable your mind becomes!"

……

Lu Zhihuan handed over all the affairs of Yongle Palace to Hongyou, and asked Eunuch De to take Hongyou to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to select palace maids.

Hongyou slipped a silver ingot into Eunuch De's pocket and said, "Eunuch De, we have to give you face wherever we go in this palace. Our noble lady said that you are knowledgeable and have a unique vision. Please lead Hongyou and let me learn from you."

This action made Eunuch De very happy. Concubine Zhao really trusted him!

——After dinner

Lu Zhihuan went to wash his hands, and when he came back he saw Qi Yan leaning on the couch, reading a book in his hand, turning the pages with his slender fingers.

Every movement of his seems to contain endless charm, and his every gesture reveals a unique temperament.

She didn't move closer, reluctant to disturb the tranquility and beauty. His profile, illuminated by the candlelight, was even more captivating. Thirty-two years old, mature and steady, he exuded the aura of a superior. His expression was calm and composed, his eyes deep and resolute, revealing an otherworldly aura.

To be honest, she felt that she was not worthy of him.

At this moment, Qi Yan seemed to feel her gaze and raised his head to meet her eyes. He smiled slightly, put down the book in his hand, and waved to Lu Zhihuan.

Lu Zhihuan walked over to Qi Yan and sat down. Qi Yan gently stroked her hair and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"

She said: "I'm a little sad. I'm not worthy of you, such a good person." Her words were half sincere and half tentative.

Qi Yan seemed to have not expected her to say that and paused. If someone else said that, he would think it was a compliment, but she...

But her next sentence was: "Please don't grow a beard too early."

996 [I almost thought the host was going to be sentimental.]

He asked, “Why?”

"Because kissing pricks my mouth, I don't like it."

He choked a little, thinking that they disliked him because he was old.

996【Host, are you allergic to romance?】

Lu Zhihuan narrowed his eyes: [Just now when I said I wasn't worthy of him, he didn't deny it right away.]

996【Unreasonable women are the hardest to deal with. So, could you tell me your reasoning? I'd like to learn from you.】

He pinched her delicate little nose and said, "You are the only one who would say, why is my Zhizhi so naughty? Then Zhizhi, can you sing a song for me, um... a special song like that?"

Qi Yan held her in his arms and said, "Eunuch De, have someone bring the zither up."

Hearing his order, she quickly stopped him: "Eh? Don't bother with that. I only know that one song. But I can sing it a cappella, that's all."

She pinched Qi Yan's fingers awkwardly, she loved this hand so much.

【Tongtong, show the lyrics! 】

996【Alright! Host.】

Lu Zhihuan cleared his throat: "Ahem... I'm about to start!"

She sang "Red Horse" a cappella.

Then she sang another song called "Marry".

"Change to another song. The first part is pretty good, but the lyrics at the end are not good." Qi Yan frowned as he listened.

Lu Zhihuan frowned and asked, "What's wrong with it? It's quite good..." She closed her mouth.

Why are you suddenly so angry? It's like being with a tiger, right?

[He's still unhappy? Tongtong, let me show you Qi Yan's transformation...]

996【? (expect)】

Lu Zhihuan deliberately sang with a trembling voice: "I may not meet you again in the next life, so I cherish you very much and dare not be careless. I use all my strength to love you carefully, for fear of losing you and being too late..."

Qi Yan suddenly reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to look up, "Do you want to piss me off to death?"

He wouldn't allow it if we might meet again in the next life.

996【He transformed, no, he was heartbroken.】

The next second the screen went black——

He kissed her suddenly, without any gentleness.

A pair of eyes stared at Lu Zhihuan, how could she act so innocent!

"It really deserves to be punished!"

He was not as gentle as last night, but strong and overbearing.

The mist obscures one's vision and confuses one's senses. The ambiguity is so unbridled that it makes one feel suffocated!

She thought to herself: Don't make me beg you.

The next second he just gave in.
