Chapter Seventy-Seven: Are You Okay?
Toya still vividly remembers that at this time last year, she left the grassland she loved and came to this strange country alone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At that time, she was a kind princess, and Chu Yichen was just a prince at that time.
But in just one year, Chu Yichen has changed from a prince to the monarch of a country, and he has also changed from a princess to an imperial concubine.
Toya had no intention of participating, but she couldn't resist her identity, and she couldn't come like ordinary concubines.
Shen Mirou sat on the phoenix chair, and the palace people below brought waves of young women to them.
Shen Mirou listened to the palace people reading the names and family backgrounds of these women, without the emperor's participation, the entire draft process became Shen Mirou's master.
picked up some passable-looking ones with simple family backgrounds that would not bother her, and pointed out twenty-four people.
In fact, according to the regulations, picking sixteen people can be filled, but Shen Mirou felt that picking too few people seemed to be narrow-minded, but more was not what she wanted to see, so she simply picked twenty-four people, no more, no less, no less decent.
Although the number of people selected was not large, the time spent was not short, and it took a whole day to finalize all these twenty-four people, and according to their backgrounds, they were assigned to various palaces for training.
Although Toya was not interested, she couldn't help but look at these women who came to the show, after all, there are many people, unevenness is always unavoidable, and there are no lack of one or two who are stunning, but unfortunately they were directly skipped over, and the ones picked out can only be regarded as medium women, not good, not bad.
Shen Mirou's thoughts naturally can't be hidden from the people present, but everyone understands their identity, and no one will break it, let alone raise any objections.
However, there is one thing that makes Tuoya feel that it is still worth being happy about, that is, for many days to come, Shen Mirou did not think of her again, but spent all her thoughts on these new palace maids.
It is said that the emperor went to every newcomer with rain and dew, but he did not stay at a newcomer's place for the night, he just sat down and left.
Since then, I'm afraid that there have been a few more resentful women who want to wear them.
However, even the princesses of the Northern Underworld and the dignified imperial concubines were snubbed by the emperor, not to mention staying overnight, even if they went to the Fanghua Hall to sit, these people had nothing to be angry about.
In the mouths of these boring women, they gave Fanghua Hall an additional title, "Living Cold Palace".
Naturally, they didn't dare to make fun of it in person, after all, there was a difference between respect and inferiority, but there were not a lot of rumors behind the scenes, and some people even talked about the "adultery" of the imperial concubine when she was in the palace, and it was falsely rumored that Toya lost the queen's throne because of this incident.
Of course, more statements are still unanimous that Shen Mirou's beauty is the well-deserved master of this harem.
A draft didn't change anything for Toya, except that there were a few more people in the harem to eat and gossip.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
"Your Majesty, the monarch of the Northern Netherworld sent someone to send two letters, one for Your Majesty and one for the imperial concubine."
The subordinate presented the letter to Chu Yichen, who took the letter and opened the letter from the emperor himself, "Emperor Qingyan: Since Princess An Ning of the Northern Underworld married into the Qingxuan Kingdom, the two countries have made good friends, the border is peaceful, and there is peace in the prosperous era. In order to continue the friendship between the two countries for a hundred years, I hope that Emperor Qingyan will get the dragon heir, and at the same time add a grandson of the emperor to my northern darkness. The Book of the King of Northern Yan. ā
Chu Yichen looked at the handwritten letter of Halbara in his hand, and the intention on the letter was very obvious, just like Halbara himself, straightforward and not beating around the bush.
It's been exactly a year since he got married to Toya, and so many things have happened in this year, so much so that Chu Yichen has forgotten that he and Toya have never been husband and wife, let alone thought that the two of them could have a child between them.
"A child!" This word made Chu Yichen feel a trace of warmth and expectation.
Chu Yichen picked up another letter on the desk, held it in his hand, and walked out of the Showa Palace. Chu Yichen counted the time, this time Toya should not be in the Fanghua Palace, according to her habits, it should be in the Library Pavilion!
Chu Yichen didn't let people prepare a sedan chair, but strode towards the library by himself, he had been on the throne for so long, and finally had a reason to see her.
Gonggong Qin stood outside the library pavilion with a very eye-catching look, Chu Yichen gently lifted his clothes, and stepped over the threshold of the library with his feet.
Through the open door, a gentle ray of sunlight shone into the library, shining on the figure that could only be seen occasionally from afar.
Dressed in a dusty white dress, there was still no embellishment from head to toe, and the silver mask on her face made Chu Yichen feel a little dazzling.
took a deep breath, thinking that Toya was too fascinated by it, but she didn't hear Chu Yichen's footsteps, and still stood motionless by the bookshelf, reading the contents with all her attention, occasionally turning the green jade fingers on the page, as if telling others that she was alive, not just a sculpture.
Chu Yichen quietly looked at Toya's delicate and flawless face facing her, which beautifully reminded him of the scene when he first saw her, and he was secretly amazed because of the half of her face that she had just revealed, but he only forgot the original beauty because of the other half of his face that was exposed in an instant.
Chu Yichen looked at Toya quietly until she closed the book in her hand and gently put it back in its place.
At this time, Toya turned her head slightly, and with a casual glance, she saw a figure at the door that she had always wanted to forget.
Chu Yichen's body was pulled out of a long shadow, and the bright yellow dragon robe revealed a majesty that could not be violated.
His fingers still habitually twisted the jade pendant on his waist, which was a small action he liked to do every time he had something to say and didn't know how to speak.
It turns out that he still remembers such small details.
Tuoya sighed softly for her idiocy, put her hands on her waist, and bent her knees slightly, "The concubine has seen the emperor." ā
Hearing this, Chu Yichen knew that he was not only missing her person, but also her soft voice, like a spring slowly flowing out of the mountains, with a different kind of sweetness when it slid through his throat.
"Are you alright?"
