It was in this long street with tall red walls that Qiya met Shan Guiren, who was decadent and frustrated with a hint of acrimony!

At first, Xiya didn't recognize her. She only thought that she was dressed a little more gorgeously than the palace maids, like the attire of a concubine. But compared with those young concubines, she looked very old, and she really didn't match the emperor. .

Later, Aunt Shu Yan told her that Shan Guiren was an old man serving the emperor. According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, a young prince would always take in a few concubines before getting married, and such concubines were often from low-born families, as was the case with Shan Guiren. Back then, she was just a maid doing menial work in the palace. Because of her gentle personality, she was taken in by the emperor, who was still five years old. After the emperor ascended the throne, although he did not leave Shan Guiren behind, he only ignored him for a few months. Later, the number of concubines in the harem gradually increased, and Shan Guiren did not have very amazing appearance and talents, and he was getting older, so naturally he became colder and colder.

No wonder she was so decadent when I saw her that day. Her gentleness and gracefulness had long been wiped away by the long night, and her whole person seemed like a pool of stagnant water drying up, gradually revealing its sharp edges. In fact, Shan Guiren is not that ugly. Although she is not as beautiful as Concubine Xin and the luxurious Imperial Concubine, at just over thirty, she is still in her prime! Qiya felt that it was more of despair, complete despair without any hope, hope or reliance! There is also a deep jealousy of the young concubines.

A few days later, the internal prison officer came to report that Mr. Shan wanted to see him.

Qian Ya looked at Aunt Shu Yan. She was really confused, so she couldn't refuse, so she invited Shan Guiren to come in. Shan Guiren bowed to Qiya Yingying, saluted, and said with a forced smile, "Miss dropped her earrings on the street that day."

Only then did Xia remember that she had indeed lost an earring. As soon as Shan Guiren raised her face, the little maid who followed behind took the tray and came forward, kneeling respectfully at Xia's feet and holding the tray high with both hands. Lying inside was the jade earring she had lost. Siya quickly asked Lingxiang to take the earrings and thanked her profusely.

But Shan Guiren lowered his head and said, "I have resigned."

Before Qia could let her have a cup of tea, she withdrew. Her absent-minded and despairing look made people feel heartbroken. At this moment, she turned around and ran into the emperor's arms.

The emperor reflexively stretched out his hand to support Shan Guiren, who almost fell, and then took a closer look and said in surprise, "Xue Xiang, why is it you?!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Ann!" Shan Guiren smiled brightly when he saw the emperor, and said happily, "I'm here to return Miss Qian's lost earrings."

When the emperor heard this, he looked up at Xia, who nodded slightly. Shan Guiren's eyes that seemed to be chilling also swept over. It seems that she still has many hopes and expectations for the emperor! As soon as he saw the emperor, the depression in his body seemed to be swept away. Facing Xia, she was like a female eagle ready to spread her wings and fight at any time!

"Mr. Shan, please stay and have lunch together." Qian Ya made her own suggestion. She just felt that the woman in the harem who longed for the emperor was really pitiful.

"Okay, then let you have lunch with Xuexiang! I suddenly remembered that there is an important document in Qianqing Palace that I haven't read, so I'm going back first." After the emperor said that, he actually waved and left, acting like a mischief before leaving. He glanced at Xiya.
