Chapter 185 Charm 5

But when she really arrived at the Imperial Garden, Shiyao was greatly disappointed.

It's just so-so, about the same size as a modern small park, but more exquisite.

It was already dark, and those rare and exotic plants seemed to be covered with a layer of black gauze, appearing gray.

A breeze blew, and Shiyao smelled the scent of damp earth. She looked up and saw that the night sky was pitch black with only a hazy moon hanging high in the sky, but no stars were visible.

It will rain tomorrow.

She thought firmly.

Sure enough, the next day, it drizzled continuously.

Today, Shiyao went to a different place to slack off.

It's much more comfortable than yesterday. The cushion under my butt and the back is also soft. It's not as uncomfortable as a solid wooden chair.

Like the previous emperor, his grandfather and all the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, after Xuan Ling ascended the throne, he mostly handled government affairs in the Qianqing Palace and rested in the Yangxin Hall on the west side of the Qianqing Palace.

It was a rainy day and Xuan Ling also wanted to take a break, so after court was dismissed, he went straight back to the Yangxin Palace.

Shiyao naturally goes wherever her boss is.

So this scene happened: Xuan Ling and Shi Yao were sitting on the couch separated by a small square table.

Xuan Ling continued reading "Li Jun Shu" which he put down after seeing Shi Yao yesterday, while Shi Yao held her chin and looked out the window at the drizzle outside.

One person is reading and the other is daydreaming, it seems so harmonious, but it is not so.

It was raining outside the window, and the sky was gray and unclear, which made Shiyao feel even more depressed.

What's this?

She was a palace maid, but she sat on the same bed with the emperor.

Why don’t you reveal your true identity yet?

Shi Yao admired the emperor for his acting skills and for being able to get along with her calmly until now.

If it were the case with the perverts in the past, what would the two of them do after being alone together for so long?

Either hurt yourself or hurt her.

Anyway, I will never be able to sit here quietly and read or drink tea like this person.

She was prepared to get hurt or even die. After all, this was not a harmonious society and there was no safe uncle for her to ask for help.

As the ruler of the highest class in feudal society, the emperor could do whatever he wanted to a palace maid of low status like her.

Imprisonment, torture, persecution...

But she waited and waited, but the sharp blade never came.

Shiyao didn't understand, but she was unhappy.

In fact, Xuan Ling was not as calm as Shi Yao thought, but he was not as cruel as she thought.

Under Shi Yao's unconcealed gaze, Xuan Ling was so excited that he got goosebumps.

Shiyao is looking at herself!

Xuan Ling became excited whenever he thought that Shi Yao's eyes were focused on him.

Why does Shiyao keep looking at me?

Could it be that you have fallen in love with me?

Yes, I do look pretty good.

Xuan Ling was smug, not at all like he was disgusted by those superficial women who only liked her face.

Just as Xuan Ling was about to speak, Su Peisheng came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the Queen is here."

Queen?

Xuan Ling frowned. What was she doing here? She had disturbed his time with Shi Yao for no reason.

But since we have already arrived at the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, let’s just meet him.

But what about Shiyao?

If the vicious Queen saw this, there's no telling what she would do.

But before Xuan Ling could figure out how to tell Shi Yao, Shi Yao spoke first, "I'll take my leave first."

After that, he withdrew.

She was in a bad mood and was too lazy to follow the palace rules. The worst that could happen was her life, and she could be a brave man again eighteen years later.

Xuan Ling didn't say anything. He was keenly aware that Shi Yao was in a bad mood.

He was even more impatient to deal with the Queen, and he wanted to try to cheer Shi Yao up.

But Yixiu had already come in, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

(The TV series integrates the original work and is more drama-oriented, so most of the characters are based on the TV series.)

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Facing Xuan Ling's urging, Yi Xiu smiled gently, "I came here for the selection of concubines."

In fact, her heart was bleeding. Who would be willing to take a concubine for her handsome husband?

The emperor is extremely handsome and his dragon-like majesty is intimidating. Which woman would not like him?

But as the queen, it was her job to organize the selection of concubines for the emperor.

"Needless to say, the matter of the talent show is entirely up to you," Xuan Ling said straightforwardly, leaving all matters concerning the talent show to Yi Xiu, so don't bother him with this matter anymore.

Yixiu looked embarrassed, "It's just that the treasury is empty..."

Xuan Ling had only been on the throne for three years, and the national treasury had already doubled, but after all, little was left by the previous emperor, and there was still not much left.

However, it is definitely enough to hold a talent show. However, if it is held in a shabby manner, it will damage the reputation of the royal family; if it is held in a lavish manner, there will be little left in the treasury.

That's why Yixiu had to remind Xuan Ling with difficulty about what standards the audition should be held according to.

In fact, if she were to say, it would be better to leave the matter to Concubine Hua. For the sake of the emperor's face, Concubine Hua would definitely pay for the luxurious and magnificent selection out of her own pocket.

Yixiu felt happy when she thought of Concubine Hua, who was always proud and arrogant and was trying hard to suppress her sadness.

But before she could hint, Xuan Ling made the decision first, "In that case, this year's talent show will be cancelled."

He was not interested in the beauty pageant in the first place, and the queen just gave him an excuse.

"You must not do this, Your Majesty." Although she did not want to have more people in the harem competing with her for the throne, she also knew that the selection of concubines had serious implications and could not be cancelled at will.

"That `s a deal."

Xuan Ling didn't care about her.

Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, Yixiu knew that she could not persuade him. In this case, she decided to discuss it with the empress dowager.

"Then I will take my leave first," Yi Xiuxiu bowed. The emperor must be impatient with her staying in the Yangxin Palace for too long.

"Ah."

Yixiu still has some foresight. She left happily, and Xuan Ling could go and coax Shiyao earlier.

"and many more."

Yixiu had already walked to the entrance of the palace when Xuan Ling suddenly spoke. She was delighted to hear his words. Did the emperor have anything to say to her?

"From now on, concubines in the harem are not allowed to come to the Qianqing Palace and Yangxin Palace without permission."

Xuan Ling thought about it and decided to set this rule. He was impatient to see those superficial women in the harem who only liked his appearance, and he didn't want anyone to come and disturb his relationship with Shi Yao in the future.

Especially in today's situation, he always felt that if the Queen had not come and Shiyao had not left, it would be a good opportunity for him to win Shiyao's heart.

Yixiu froze. Was the emperor talking about her?

Recently, only Yixiu came to the Yangxin Palace today, and the emperor said this.

"Yes..." No matter whether the emperor was talking about her or not, she had to listen.

As soon as Yixiu left, Xuan Ling immediately asked, "Where is she?"

Although no name was mentioned, as the chief eunuch in front of the emperor and a thorn in the emperor's stomach, Su Peisheng certainly knew that the emperor was asking him. He also knew that the emperor was asking about Miss Shiyao.

"Miss Shiyao has returned to her residence. Would you like me to invite her over?"

When Su Peisheng spoke, his face was as bright as a chrysanthemum.

Oh my, he was right about the Holy Heart today.

Xuan Ling was horrified, but when he thought of Shi Yao, he smiled again, "No need, I'll go see her."

……

Shiyao returned to her residence early and covered her head.

Only under the quilt and in the darkness did she feel safe.

Her heart is bitter and her eyes are sore. When will she no longer be afraid?

Why do those perverts come one after another?

She is not an object and does not want to be fought over.

All she remembered was that it was a very ordinary day, and someone suddenly ran up to her and gave her his hand as a gift.

From then on, nightmare-like experiences followed one after another. I thought that those who gave hands and hearts were the most terrifying, but in fact, those who gave money, flowers and meals were the real perverts.

Those who give their hands and hearts are trying to prove their seriousness to Shiyao by hurting themselves, while those who give money, flowers and food want Shiyao to hurt herself to prove something to them.

He was the one with the best disguise among them. If it weren’t for a kind security uncle’s warning, Shi Yao would have almost fallen into his trap.

Unfortunately, that person disappeared inexplicably.

Maybe she was murdered, Shiyao thought lightly. The only normal person who liked her is gone.

"Shiyao!"

Xuan Ling rushed in.

He arrived outside Shiyao's door, struggling for a long time as to whether he should disturb Shiyao or not. But Shiyao had just left with an expressionless face, so he finally decided to knock on the door.

But he knocked once, twice, and three times, but didn't hear any response from Shi Yao. If it weren't for the palace maid testifying that Shi Yao really was inside and hadn't come out, Xuan Ling would have thought that Su Peisheng was wrong.

But no one responded to Shiyao inside, which made Xuan Ling even more worried. He didn't know why, but he was very interested in Shiyao the first time he saw her.

So after knocking on the door several times, he broke in.

Fortunately, the door bolt was not locked, and Xuan Ling kicked it open.

In fact, Shiyao was too immersed in her own emotions and blocked herself from the outside world, so she didn't say anything.

However, Xuan Ling's intrusion made quite a noise and he had already pulled her out.

"emperor?"

Shi Yao curled up in the quilt, leaning against the corner of the bed, staring blankly at Xuan Ling, not understanding what he was doing.
