After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power
Chapter 170 Self-indulgent
In the palace, the Queen Mother wanted to see him, so Shen Zhaoyan had no choice but to come, holding a hand warmer in his hand.
As soon as he entered the Cining Palace and knelt down to greet her, the Empress Dowager immediately and lovingly had him helped up and said, "The older you get, the more distant you become from me."
When he was young, his father and brother fought for the royal family on the battlefield. In order to show the royal kindness, he went to the imperial study with the princes and princesses in the palace and was considered a frequent visitor to the palace.
Shen Zhaoyan smiled weakly, "I am weak and sickly, and I don't want to infect the Queen Mother with my illness."
The Queen Mother asked about his health for a few more words, and then told him the real purpose of summoning him to the palace this time.
"Jiu'er's eyes are swollen from crying because of the rumors outside the palace. I hope you can persuade her for the sake of our past friendship."
"This isn't appropriate."
"There's nothing inappropriate about it." The Queen Mother sighed, "That child has a stubborn temper. She can't bear to hear such rumors."
Shen Zhaoyan went there in the end. He just wanted to find out clearly when he and her developed feelings for each other and why he didn't know about it?
When he went to the palace where the Ninth Princess lived, he refused to go in. He insisted on meeting her in the courtyard and keeping a certain distance.
Helian Qing looked at him with red eyes and tears in her eyes, "Am I a bird of prey? Why are you so wary of me?"
"I'm engaged, it would be bad if people misunderstood me." Shen Zhaoyan smiled, "Besides, some people's hearts are more poisonous than snakes. Once you get entangled with them, it will be troublesome."
Helian Qing's expression froze for a moment, and then he said pitifully, "I didn't mean to faint in Weiyang Palace that day. I was just too weak. I never expected that such rumors would spread."
The rumor was so vicious that no matter who she married in the future, the other party would find it hard not to feel uncomfortable.
What made her most uncomfortable was that not only did she fail to successfully alienate the two people's relationship, but she was instead splashed with dirty water.
She has always been the most competitive, but now she has become a joke among her sisters.
Shen Zhaoyan said calmly, "It's no use for Princess to explain this to me. After all, I can't possibly marry you, let alone comfort you."
He was so ruthless that Helian Qing felt that his sincerity had been wasted.
"Don't you really know how I feel about you?"
"It doesn't matter if you know or not." Shen Zhaoyan said bluntly, "I am just a bargaining chip chosen by the princess. Why does the princess have to say how deeply she loves me?"
Helian Qing was shocked and naturally would not admit it. He said hurtly, "You saved me when I was a child, and I have wanted to treat you well since then."
At that time, the favorite concubine of the late emperor had a pet dog. When he skipped classes and strolled in the palace, he met Helian Qing who was attacked by the dog. He picked up a stone and rushed over to hit the dog away.
Shen Zhaoyan said speechlessly, "Actually, you think too much. I just simply hate that dog."
He had a strange temper at that time. The dog barked at him several times and he always disliked the dog.
The truth was so cruel that Helian Qing's eyes flickered. "Just think of it as my misunderstanding, but the rumors outside are too unbearable. The person who spread the rumors deliberately wanted to destroy me."
Shen Zhaoyan said impatiently, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I hope the prince can help me clarify the rumors. The facts are not like that."
As a princess of a royal family, she didn't want to bear the reputation of a "nymphomaniac" and become a laughing stock in the capital.
"No." Shen Zhaoyan refused decisively, "The princess is still too out of touch with reality. The more you clarify this rumor, the more people will think about it."
"I'm afraid by then the princess will become obsessed with me and will never change her mind."
Helian Qing's chest was heaving with anger, but on the surface he had to maintain his composure and looked at him with resentment, "If the prince is willing to help me, there must be a way."
"I do not want to."
Shen Zhaoyan flatly rejected her and politely said goodbye.
Helian Qing looked at his back with a vicious look and swore in his heart that he would never let them have an easy time.
Having been pampered for a long time, she was careless for a moment and fell into the trap of that bitch Jiang Xue Ning.
Whatever she endured today, she will definitely take revenge double in the future!
Not long after she calmed down, Helian Xuan called her to the imperial study to talk.
She put on makeup again and went to the imperial study. After paying her respects, she said to Helian Xuan in a very intimate manner, "I wonder why my brother called Jiuer here?"
Helian Xuan looked up at her, smiled and praised, "Jiu'er has grown into a big girl without knowing it. It's time to pick a good husband for you."
Helian Qing felt a chill in her heart. The reason why she had been trying to conquer Shen Zhaoyan was that she didn't want to be sent out for marriage by Helian Xuan.
Since he came to power, several princesses who married out of the royal family almost all became stepping stones for the imperial power and had a bad end.
She didn't want to follow in others' footsteps, so she took precautions and chose Shen Zhaoyan.
Unfortunately, I failed in the end.
She forced a smile and said coyly, "I still want to stay in the palace and accompany the Queen Mother for a while longer."
"Girls should get married when they grow up. Jiuer is at the age of 15. How can my brother be willing to delay you?"
Helian Qing could hardly hold on to the smile on his face, and asked softly, "My Royal Brother, do you think you already have a candidate in mind?"
Helian Xuan nodded, "Jiuer, what do you think of the King of Wei?"
Helian Qing's knees went weak and he looked a little frightened.
King Xiao Linfeng of Wei is not interested in women and is ruthless. He is known as the "Smiling Tiger". The more gently he smiles when he is angry, the more miserable the fate of his enemies will be.
She was in the harem and knew more news. Over the years, no matter if it was the queen mother or the queen who bestowed beauties, they all had a miserable end and would not live more than three months.
Although he is not interested in women, he plays big and uses cruel methods.
There were too many rumors surrounding Xiao Linfeng, and Helian Qing felt that marrying him was not a good thing. She would have a hard time with such a man.
She covered her chest and said softly, "I'm afraid I don't have the luck to be with someone like the King of Wei."
"It's okay. You are a princess of the royal family. He dare not treat you badly." Helian Xuan said arbitrarily, "The imperial decree granting marriage will arrive at the Prince of Wei's mansion soon. You can wait for your marriage with peace of mind."
"Jiuer knows."
It was the emperor's order, and even though she was a princess, she had no right to refute it.
Everything happened too fast. Helian Qing felt dizzy and had no sense of reality at all.
Helian Xuan said, "I hope you and the King of Wei will give birth to a baby boy soon."
Helian Qing had an inexplicable ominous premonition in his heart. This marriage was too strange.
"When is the wedding scheduled?"
"It will be on the day of the coldest winter day. This is a good day calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. The palace will definitely marry you off with a grand ceremony."
It was a bit too hasty. The more he said this, the more uneasy Helian Qing felt, but he couldn't question him.
"Go back."
Watching Helian Qing retreating unsteadily, a meaningful smile appeared in his eyes.
The show is about to begin...
