The Legend of Nanshan Jun

So the night passed, and I lay in bed for another day before going to the ground.

On the second day, I felt better and finally went out to bask in the sun with Dieyi's support.

Not far away, two young eunuchs were whispering something, their voices were shrill but not low, but they could be heard clearly.

"I heard that Mr. Nanshan had a big fight with the emperor a few days ago, and the emperor was very angry."

"That's right, Mr. Nanshan dared to disrespect the emperor. I heard that he said a lot of rebellious words."

"It's a miserable situation for Mr. Nanshan. He has been so ignorant not long after he was favored. The emperor will definitely not show mercy."

"Didn't you see that Mr. Nanshan hasn't been out of Donghua Pavilion in the past few days, but I heard that the emperor... couldn't get out of bed."

"So it seems that the emperor still treats Mr. Nanshan...ahem..."

"Of course, looking at the entire harem, the emperor would not be willing to give up anyone with Nanshan Jun's beauty."

"Indeed, if Mr. Nanshan dared to contradict the emperor, he naturally has the capital to contradict. If it were you and me, I would have died countless times."

It's not a good feeling to be someone else's gossip, whether it's good or bad.

"Cough cough." I coughed a few times, causing the two young eunuchs to turn around in unison, their faces pale with fright.

"My lord...a thousand years old."

"I have two supporters for my life, so it would be nice to have this year." I snorted.

The two quickly kowtowed and apologized to me.

I don't want to argue with them, the two of them are not the only ones talking about me in the harem, I can't bear to punish them, so I let them go with a few words.

"Be careful, Your Majesty, let's go." I nodded and followed Dieyi's footsteps to leave.

It was late when we arrived at Liyuan, and all the concubines were almost sitting in their seats.

After I saluted, I found a remote corner and stayed for a while but lingered by the colonnade.

Li Zhenrui looked at me coldly and didn't speak.

Fang Shengze smiled maliciously, "Mr. Nanshan, why don't you sit down?"

I glanced at the stage, and said calmly, "This angle is just right for watching the show."

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. The emperor didn't let you stand, how can you stand?" Fang Shengze's voice was quite loud, attracting many people's attention.

I took a look at Li Zhenrui, and had no choice but to ask him for instructions, "My Majesty, can I watch the show standing up?"

"Sit down." The one-word order is irresistible and firm.

Li Zhenrui clearly did it on purpose, and I almost died of anger inside, but I still sat down slowly under Fang Shengze's gloating eyes and everyone watching the show.

The moment I touched the chair, I gasped, closed my eyes and greeted Li Zhenrui's family again.

Dieyi wiped the cold sweat off my forehead in due course, and I sat motionless on the chair, pretending to concentrate on watching the drama in front of me.

"Mr. Nanshan is weak, the emperor should take pity on him." The queen mother said slowly and calmly.

"The queen mother is sympathetic, don't pamper him." The emperor said lightly.

"How could it be, the Ai family sees that this child is quiet, and he must have a very good temper." The Queen Mother gave me a gentle smile, but I couldn't bear it, so I had to turn my head to admire the wonderful performance on the stage.

If she knew what I did the night before, she would definitely take this sentence into account—no, everyone in the harem knows, how could the Queen Mother not know?

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't the queen mother reprimand me?I looked at the Queen Mother in some puzzlement, but she gave me an appreciative smile, which really surprised me.

"I heard that the new ruler of Beiliang is enthroned, and the emperor is sincerely invited to watch the ceremony. What's the emperor's plan?" The queen mother asked lightly, tapping the table with her fingertips.

The emperor glanced at the empress dowager, and the meaning in his eyes was unclear, "Of course I want to go."

"It seems that the emperor has made arrangements, so that Ai's family doesn't have to worry about it." The queen mother smiled knowingly.

"The affairs of the harem are left to the Queen Mother."

"Your Majesty, rest assured."

"Father, I haven't been to Beiliang yet, and I want to go too." Princess Yongning yelled with a small face.

"You are still young, so it is inconvenient to go so far." Li Zhenrui turned to Concubine Shu and said, "Concubine Shu, you take the princess with you in the palace, don't let her get into trouble."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yongning is the daughter of Concubine Xiao Shu.

The emperor has two sons and a daughter, but they were all when he was a prince, but since he ascended the throne, he has nothing to do with the harem.

The eldest son, Li Hong, is the son of Concubine Shu De; the second son, Li Yong, whose biological mother is unknown, was brought up by Concubine Wang Guifei;

"Your majesty, the concubine also wants to stay in the palace to share the worries of the queen mother." Wang Guifei said on the side.

The emperor glanced at her and nodded, "Yes."

"Then who is the emperor planning to take?" Sima Qingyan asked eagerly.

"I took the male concubine this time... Mr. Nanshan, what do you think of the Queen Mother?" Li Zhenrui glanced at me, and his words turned away, and what he said made me stunned.

"This...is really great." The Empress Dowager smiled clearly in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I want to go too." Sima Qingyan on the other side shouted.

"You know my rules, so you don't need to say too much." Li Zhenrui's face darkened, and Sima Qingyan had no choice but to stop talking.

I asked Dieyi suspiciously, "What is the emperor's rule?"

Dieyi said softly, the emperor is not easy to make public when traveling, usually he only takes one concubine with him.

"Oh I got it……"

The other concubines who wanted to go looked at me with knives in their eyes, which made me unbearable.

I didn't expect Li Zhenrui to take me with me, which surprised me too.

I stood up again and lowered my head, "I thank the emperor for your kindness, but I'm not feeling well, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to travel long distances."

Everyone was shocked, probably never expected that I would reject such a good opportunity directly.

"Mr. Nanshan, if the emperor tells you to go, go, don't be arrogant." The Queen Mother frowned displeased.

She said so, and I had to agree.

In the next few days, I was busy recovering from my injuries, but I was often treated roughly by him before the wounds healed, which made me quite annoyed, but I no longer contradicted him like in the past.

He was obviously punishing me by treating me like this, but the way he punished me showed that he didn't mean nothing to me.

In this contradictory emotion, my resistance was not as strong as before. In order to save myself from being hurt, I had to try my best to cater to him, otherwise I would be the one who suffered.

The only thing that makes me happy is that, in order to punish me, Li Zhenrui didn't pamper others.

And everyone in the harem knew that I was punished. Although they guessed the reason, they felt a little more sympathy. They didn't say that I was seductive and seduced the Lord like in the past. How could it be a blessing?
