Chapter 59: Concubine Feng
After a few more days, there was no movement from Long Yuechen's side, Xia Qiqi gave up completely, slumped on the bed, and was inexplicably irritable, and when he was at a loss, a holy decree suddenly came.
Concubine!
When Xia Qiqi heard that she was sealed, she was in a trance, if it weren't for Yang Chun even if she ran over and patted her on the shoulder, she would probably be stupid.
Concubine!
When she saw boxes of gold and silver jewelry being carried into her yard, she finally affirmed that Long Yuechen was not joking this time, but really wanted to make her a concubine.
Just, why?
Looking at the happy and excited faces of the people in the courtyard, Xia Qiqi's heart was full of doubts.
These days, Long Yuechen has never come to see her, nor has she summoned herself, even Wei Heng and Jing Yi have not appeared, she almost thinks that Long Yuechen has forgotten her, why do you want to make her a concubine?
Xia Qiqi's head has been groggy for the past few days, Long Yuechen is sealing her concubine, but this is not like sealing the concubine.
According to the general situation, the concubine in this world is a very grand thing, not only to change the courtyard, but also to visit the emperor and queen, thank them for their kindness, and even on the day of the concubine, you have to do that kind of indescribable thing with the emperor.
Xia Qiqi didn't want to do that kind of thing with Long Yuechen, but he was the concubine, and the seal was so simple, no matter what way it was, it was very weird.
Xia Qiqi was very puzzled in his heart, and he was also puzzled by the concubines in the harem.
They were also guessing what Long Yuechen meant by doing this at this time.
Obviously, they haven't encountered this situation either.
Long Yuechen named Xia Qiqi as a concubine, but many things about sealing concubines have not been done, they don't know whether this matter is deliberately done by Long Yuechen, or if they originally wanted to seal Xia Qiqi as a concubine.
Everyone was speculating in their hearts, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while, so they brought up the matter in a roundabout way every morning when they asked the queen to say goodbye.
Early the next morning, Long Yuechen went down to the morning court, and when he returned to the Jinluan Palace, he saw the queen.
The queen used the excuse that she was looking for him, and the two entered the Jinluan Hall together.
At the beginning, the queen took out the pastries she had prepared with a smile on her face, let Long Yuechen eat them, and talked about some inconsequential things, until she felt that the time had come, so she began to ask Long Yuechen.
"Your Majesty, the concubine heard that you made the former prime minister's concubine a few days ago, I don't know if this is true."
The queen said very vaguely, after all, she is the queen of a country, the mother of the country is gentle and gentle, and the image of kindness and consideration should still be paid attention to.
But the meaning of her words is also very clear.
First, I hope that Long Yuechen will understand that Xia Qiqi is the daughter of the former prime minister, to put it bluntly, that is, Xia Qiqi is the daughter of a traitor, and it is really inappropriate to be named a concubine.
The second is to hope that his thoughtfulness and concern can go deep into Long Yuechen's heart.
"This thing, it is."
Long Yuechen nodded, since he had decided to announce the holy decree, he had not thought of denying it.
"Then why doesn't the emperor tell his concubines, and the concubines should be prepared, lest people say that our royal family is stingy and arrogant, and we don't even see a sealed concubine, and we don't even give a gift."
The queen smiled again. Long Yuechen frowned.
The queen is only twenty years old, she is the daughter of General Zuo, and her temperament is still too eager, Long Yuechen has been in power for many years, so she can naturally guess a little bit of her intentions, but she herself is too arrogant and thinks that what she said is seamless.
In fact, from the very beginning, Long Yuechen guessed her intention, but he didn't say it for a long time, he had just sealed Xia Qiqi's concubine, and the queen came, and the answer was naturally very clear!
"No, she's just the daughter of a criminal minister."
Long Yuechen's eyes flashed sharply, and he followed the queen's words.
A trace of consternation flashed in the queen's eyes, but it was only for a moment, and she quickly returned to the demeanor of the mother of the country, and said empathetically.
"Your Majesty, although she is said to be the daughter of a criminal minister, but now she has become the emperor's concubine and the sister of the concubine, please don't be too mustard."
The queen lowered her head and glanced at Long Yuechen with her peripheral vision.
When she said this, it was naturally impossible for her to really think about Xia Qiqi, she just wanted to earn a good image for herself.
"Queen, don't worry about this matter for the time being, I have my own plans."
Long Yuechen's attitude was a little tough, and the queen had already sensed that she was unhappy with him, so she stopped talking more, and after saying a few irrelevant words, she left.
Long Yuechen looked at the back of the queen leaving, and his eyes were indifferent.
……
On the way back, the queen was not happy.
One is because she didn't get the answer she wants today, and the other is because she has already felt the difference between Long Yuechen and Xia Qiqi.
Concubine, concubine.
The word 娪 itself has a beautiful, beautiful meaning, and it is the same as the word "I", and people who are a little careful can guess the meaning.
My wonderful concubine.
At this moment, the queen clearly felt that the most dangerous person had been neglected by her.
She originally thought that Xia Qiqi was the daughter of a criminal minister, and she was in the cold palace, so she never had a chance to turn over, so she didn't care much about her.
I didn't expect that today actually gave her such a big turn, in addition to so many concubines in the harem, she provided a good opportunity for this little slut to take the opportunity to seduce the emperor!
The queen's long fingernails were almost embedded in the palms of her hands, but she didn't even frown, her face was hideous!
……
Xia Qiqi has been much more settled than before since she was made a concubine, not because she has finally settled down, but because she has been irritable recently, full of doubts, and if she doesn't solve her doubts, she can't calm down and play at all.
When she was bored, she would take out the pen, paper and ink left over from the last time Long Yuechen punished her for copying the national law, and the woman still had the pen, paper and ink to draw.
The technology here is not very advanced, although there has been the invention of paper, but it must still be a brush, not even charcoal, so I didn't toss for long, I wiped my face and hands.
After the last time he copied the national law, Xia Qiqi's experience of the female rule, Xia Qiqi is not ignorant of the use of brushes, and after painting for a long time, at least he still drew something decent.
For example, helokitty, blue fat man, she drew with the memory of her previous life, as for why she painted these, it was not that she liked these images in her previous life, but with her level, she could only draw these simple lines, and if she was asked to draw others, she might not be able to write the pen.
She thought that Long Yuechen should not come to her again, but she was wrong.
On this day, she was holding a brush, dipped in ink, and drawing the head of the blue fat man, suddenly, a black shadow covered her vision, she Xia Qiqi raised her head in confusion, looked at the black shadow, and then instantly "Ah! With an exclamation, he hurriedly threw away the brush in his hand and stood up, and the brush just fell on the snow-white rice paper, dyeing the rice paper into a puddle of black.
"Am I that scary?"
Long Yuechen did not wear that bright yellow today, but wore an elegant white, which made the whole person feel a little more elegant.
"You...... Why are you here......"
Xia Qiqi said in a trembling voice, and his body hurriedly blocked in front of the table, with his hands behind his back, to hide the rice paper.
She painted the blue fat man, a very classic anime in her previous life, but there is no anime in this era, those artists painted some character landscape paintings, even if Long Yuechen is the emperor of a country, it is impossible to see the image of the blue fat man. She was afraid that Long Yuechen would be suspicious of her if he saw it.
Long Yuechen has never believed in the theory of strange power and chaos, but if he really knows something strange, he will definitely think about it, maybe he thinks that he is secretly sending a message to her brother who has never seen her, and directly dragged himself out and beheaded him.
"Are you nervous?"
Not a question, but an affirmation, Long Yuechen's eyes were behind Xia Qiqi, and when she saw her holding a piece of rice paper in her hand, her eyes were cold, and she said.
"What's in your hand?"
Long Yuechen has been observing words and emotions all year round, and naturally saw Xia Qiqi's vision early in the morning, although Xia Qiqi is very good at stealing things, she is not good at lying, especially in front of Long Yuechen, as soon as she lies, she panics in her heart, and it is easy to find out the clues.
Xia Qiqi was frightened by Long Yuechen's sharp eyes, the hand holding the rice paper trembled, and the rice paper covered with black ink fell to the ground, Xia Qiqi hurriedly bent over and wanted to pick it up, Long Yuechen was already one step ahead of her, walked in front of her, and used internal force to directly grab the rice paper in his hand.
Because the rice paper just walked a large piece of ink, and now the ink has not dried up, Long Yuechen's big hand grabbed it, grabbed the ink that had not dried up, and his hand was also stained with ink, he frowned, and did not throw away the rice paper, but picked it up, walked to a position, sat down, and carefully looked at the rice paper in his hand, and Xia Qiqi followed him timidly, seeing that he was holding the rice paper seriously, he almost wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't say it.
Now that the things have arrived in Long Yuechen's hands, if she insists on finding an excuse to bring the rice paper, Long Yuechen will definitely be more suspicious, so she thinks about it, and when Long Yuechen finishes reading the rice paper, she will find an excuse to explain.
Long Yuechen looked at the image on the rice paper seriously, his brows furrowing more and more.
Although the rice paper had been accidentally dyed with a large piece of ink, which obscured the image somewhat, he could still vaguely see the general shape and lines of the image.
Unlike the famous paintings he had seen, the lines of these images were very rough and the curves were not graceful.
If the picture itself is not good, it is just a scribble, and Long Yuechen will only laugh at Xia Qiqi's painting skills are really vulgar.
But here's the problem, although these lines are very rough and not soft at all, but when they are pieced together, they are very complete.
Although he couldn't see what Xia Qiqi's painting was, he could see that it was definitely not a scribble.
If so, the question arises, what exactly is this painting painted and why he has never seen such a strange image!
