Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

During the banquet, the emperor looked around with his eyes, and Eunuch Qi beside him also kept an eye out for him, but there was no sign of Shen Nanyue. Instead, Mrs. Lu kept appearing beside the emperor, as if she had something to say.

Shen Zongyuan pulled Lu aside without leaving any trace.

"Why aren't you going to greet the female guests? What are you wandering around here for? What do you want to do?"

"Of course I'm asking the Emperor about Lingxi. The Emperor came to the Shen family today, but he didn't bring Lingxi with him. Aren't you curious?"

"There are no rules. Lingxi is just a promise. How could the emperor take her out?"

"But this is the Shen family's business after all. The emperor should at least keep some consideration for us."

"You are truly ignorant of the depths of heaven and earth. You dare to talk about favors with the emperor. Don't you know your own worth? If you can't go and greet the guests, then get out of here and stay in the courtyard. Don't be an eyesore!"

Shen Zongyuan left with a flick of his sleeves. Mrs. Lu was about to turn around and leave angrily, but she didn't expect to see Eunuch Qi when she turned around. A trace of embarrassment flashed across Mrs. Lu's face, but Eunuch Qi didn't ask anything and just chatted with her.

Mrs. Lu also took the opportunity to chat with the other party and inquire about Shen Lingxi's news.

"Shen promised that everything will be fine in the palace."

"Then...may I ask, sir, has Shen promised her that he will sleep with her?"

"That hasn't happened yet."

"This child, after entering the palace, why doesn't he serve the emperor well? I am sorry to make you laugh."

"No, the reason he didn't sleep with her is because the Emperor doesn't have much in mind right now. If the Emperor is in a good mood, he could directly make Shen a noble concubine."

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she was delighted. This matter seemed to be something that could be done!

So he hurriedly took out a bag of silver and stuffed it into Eunuch Qi's hand. Eunuch Qi did not refuse and stuffed it into his sleeve.

"I hope you can give me some advice, sir."

"Oh, it's not really a suggestion, we were just chatting for a while."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"Why didn't I see the fifth young lady of the Shen family today?"

While Eunuch Qi was speaking, he glanced at the emperor not far away, and Mrs. Lu understood instantly!

"A girl who hasn't reached the age of marriage and is also a concubine's daughter, naturally, it's not convenient for her to go out. Oh, there's a lotus pond in the backyard of our mansion, and it's in full bloom right now. If you have time, you can go and take a look."

"Oh... since Madam said so, she must be very beautiful. It's worth a look."

The two of them were talking, but the expressions in their eyes were unusual. After a while, they dispersed.

Not long after, the nanny beside Lu pulled a little maid and whispered a few words in her ear. The maid nodded and ran towards the backyard. Shen Nanyue was chatting with Princess Chunxi in the bridal chamber. The maid came hurriedly to report that Aunt Su had somehow run to the front and was being punished by the old lady. Shen Nanyue became anxious when she heard it, and without thinking much, she immediately got up and rushed towards the front hall.

But when Shen Nanyan saw the bright yellow, she knew she had been deceived, so she pushed Caifu into the flowers and told her to go find Shen Zongyuan quickly. Caifu did not dare to delay and crawled away.

At this time, the emperor was already walking towards Shen Nanyue with a cheerful pace, with a happy look on his face that was rarely seen on ordinary days.

"My daughter pays homage to the Emperor."

Just as Shen Nanyan was about to kneel down, the emperor grabbed her wrist.

"Stop being polite."

Shen Nanyan took a step back unnoticed and retracted her wrist.

"The Emperor is lost. Following the lotus pond..."

"I came to see you."

After all, it happened in the minister's house, and the opportunity was rare, so the emperor did not hide it.

Because he felt that he was the emperor, and it was a blessing for Shen Nanyue to fall in love with her, so it was best to be straightforward. After explaining it to her, he could bring her into the palace directly.

At this time, the emperor's eyes were already filled with desire. Shen Nanyan was anxious and secretly looked around, but it was strange that on such a busy day, there was not even a servant passing by. She could only bite the bullet and continue to deal with it.

"Your Majesty, do you have anything to tell me?"

"Follow me into the palace."

"Ah? Your servant... your servant has no virtue or talent, and has not been selected. I'm afraid this is against the rules."

"I am the rule. With me here, you can rest assured."

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"I'll make you a noble lady and let you live in Yongfu Palace, so you can be closer to me and I can dote on you every day..."

The emperor approached Shen Nanyan as he spoke, and the expression on his face was extremely obscene. Shen Nanyan stepped back step by step, but behind her was the lotus pond, and she had nowhere to retreat.

Just as Shen Nanyan was about to take out the sleeping pills, a big hand suddenly appeared on her slender waist, and then Lu Jiusi's icy voice sounded above her head.

"Do you dare to touch her?"

"Old Nine, why are you..."

The emperor did not expect Lu Jiusi to appear suddenly, and he did not expect that he had a close relationship with Shen Nanyue.

"Stay away from her!"

"What do you mean? This world belongs to me. I just want a concubine. What's wrong with that?"

"you sure?"

Lu Jiusi stared at the emperor with eyes as deep as the abyss, as if he was looking at a dead person. The emperor gritted his teeth and looked at him, but could not utter a word.

"I am the Son of Heaven!"

"I can also make you a prisoner!"

"You are so arrogant! With your poisoned body, even if I don't do anything, you won't live long."

"Then we'll see."

Shen Nanyan was pulled away by Lu Jiusi, and the emperor was naturally displeased.

"Lu Jiusi, are you really going to go against me? Don't forget, I am the emperor, the king of Nanling Kingdom!"

Lu Jiusi paused and turned around.

"How did you get to sit in that seat? Do I need to remind you?"

"Lu Jiusi, don't force me!"

Lu Jiusi looked at him with contempt, and without speaking to him, he pulled Shen Nanyue and turned around, leaving the emperor with only a pair of extremely well-matched backs, which made the emperor even more furious.

The two returned to Qingzhiyuan together. Lu Jiusi didn't say a word, but the coldness on his body had quietly disappeared. Shen Nanyue looked up and carefully observed his expression. Unexpectedly, their eyes met.

A smile appeared on Lu Jiusi's lips, and his expression softened instantly. He was only so gentle when facing Shen Nanyue.

"do I look good?"

"very nice."

Hearing this, Lu Jiusi picked up Shen Nanyan and placed her on his lap, letting her get closer to him.

"Will you be able to see more carefully this way?"

"I'll be detoxifying you in two days, so don't do anything drastic."

"Hugging you doesn't count."

"You had a falling out with the Emperor today. Will there be any trouble?"

"It's just that I've torn off that fig leaf. It's nothing. He's been wanting to kill me for more than a day or two."

"You must detoxify as soon as possible. You've already torn your relationship apart, and I'm afraid the Emperor won't let this go."

"Don't worry, I'm here!"

Shen Nanyue leaned on Lu Jiusi's shoulder, rubbing her little head against his neck, causing Lu Jiusi's ears to turn red instantly, and he held her hand even tighter.
