Hongxiu knelt on the ground, resting her head on Han Liner's lap. She listened quietly. Her current status is very ambiguous. She is not a concubine, but she is not considered a court lady either. She is like Han Liner's pet. that is to go.

But even so, Hongxiu didn't dare to show any impatience.

And when Han Lin'er came to her, what he often talked about was things about his childhood and adolescence.

At that time Han Shantong was still alive, he adored and respected his father, always thinking that one day he would impress his father.

But before he could impress his father, his omnipotent father died, and he escaped under the protection of his uncles and became the emperor.

But this emperor was not passed on to him by his father. Han Shantong did not proclaim himself emperor when he died.

After the uncles pushed him to this position, they tried every means to control him. Although he is an emperor, he is not even as good as a small official. He can only dominate the harem. Liu Futong was killed.

Killed more than one.

Han Lin'er's sense of frustration and humiliation increased day by day and never diminished.

But he is not a brave person in essence, he dare not fight against Liu Futong.

He didn't dare to confide in the concubines in the harem. Although he and them were lying on the same bed and had the closest relationship in everyone's eyes, Han Liner was not stupid. He knew that these concubines all had their own families, and their families, Depending on Liu Futong, Liu Futong is the only one who follows the lead. In the eyes of those people, he, the emperor, is not that valuable.

But Hongxiu is different, she is just a court lady who is not valued by the queen, has no outstanding family, has never received a good education, and is still illiterate. Besides, she has the same experience as him, a great father who died young, came from the outside world The pressure they are so the same.

Han Lin'er stroked Hong Xiu's hair, and he asked softly, "Xiu'er, only you understand me."

Hong Xiu's voice was very soft: "I understand."

Han Liner sighed, seemed to think of something again, and suddenly said angrily: "What else does he want? Now that all the military symbols are in his hands, I can't get in the way of dispatching troops and generals. He is also the one to say who enters the harem." Forget it, even in the court, I can't speak now."

"What's the point of being an emperor? He is so domineering, what kind of emperor do you want me to be? It's better to let him be, and let him be, than I am now suffering from such uselessness!"

Han Liner's expression was angry and helpless.

Hongxiu understood that this man is a cowardly man, he is not stupid, on the contrary, he is still very smart, but he dare not change, he is afraid that if he loses the battle with Liu Futong, he will not even be able to maintain his current status. He can't keep it, this throne is the only thing he owns now, without this throne, he is not as good as ordinary people.

It would be impossible for him to compete with Liu Futong for power.

Hongxiu let out a sigh of relief. She thought she could encourage Han Liner's ambition, but now it seems that he does not lack ambition, he only lacks courage, and courage cannot be encouraged. She can anger Han Liner, but the anger is short-lived. When the anger subsides, Han Liner will choose to remain silent after hesitating.

"Your majesty, the grand master also wants to share your worries." Hongxiu said softly, "Maybe it's just because the grand master is too nervous about you."

Han Lin'er sneered: "You don't know, I just appointed a small official before, and he ordered a team of people to hunt him down, and appointed himself as the grand master and grand protector. From the beginning to the end, no one asked me a word about my status As the king of a country, you can't even appoint an official, so what's the point of being an emperor?"

He tossed and turned, and said only a few words, either "it's boring to be the emperor", or "it's better to let the grand master be the emperor".

Hong Xiu could only comfort him non-stop.

"The emperor is the lord of the world, presumably the grand master is only on the tip of his horn." Hongxiu whispered, "There is no difference between a subject and a concubine."

Han Lin'er was amused by Hong Xiu's words: "What officials can do, concubines can't do."

Hong Xiu made a cowardly look: "But whether it is an official or a concubine, they all want to be favored by the emperor."

Han Liner narrowed his eyes: "What they want is the Grand Master's favor."

Hongxiu stopped talking.

Han Liner thought that Hongxiu was frightened, and coaxed softly: "I can only say these things to you, I know that Xiu'er is different from others."

He sincerely believes that Hongxiu loves him, not the throne under his ass.

"I want to make you my concubine!" Han Lin'er said suddenly, "I can't control the previous court, so can't the harem be too?"

Hongxiu was taken aback by Han Liner's magical writing. She wanted to persuade her. After all, although she has no status now, Han Liner always stays by her side. For her, this is better than staying in the bedroom and waiting for Han Liner to come.

Hong Xiu looked at Han Lin'er with tears in his eyes.

Hongxiu wept softly: "My servant doesn't want a place... I just want to be with Your Majesty. If I become a concubine, I can only stay in the bedroom. If my Majesty forgets my servant, what should I do?"

She grabbed her chest and couldn't stop the tears from flowing: "Every time I think about this, I feel the pain in my chest unbearably, and I can't sleep at night."

Han Lin'er believes that Hongxiu loves him. In this harem, Hongxiu has no foundation. After following him, it is equivalent to breaking with the queen, so Hongxiu will definitely stick to him. She is the only one in the harem. Ben is Han Liner's favorite.

Han Liner is very confident about this.

Hongxiu couldn't do without him.

This is the first time that Han Lin'er has experienced this feeling of being urgently needed.

His previous dynasty didn't need him, Liu Futong controlled everything. Since the officials he appointed were killed, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty no longer worked hard on him, but put all their energy on how to please Liu Futong.

And the harem...the women in the harem have their own way of life. They need Han Liner's love, but it's not that they can't live without the love. They were all selected by Liu Futong. It is their family.

Han Lin'er clearly knew how isolated and helpless he was in this palace.

The courtiers just want to snatch his power, and the concubines just want to give birth to his child smoothly.

Even Concubine Li Gui, Han Lin'er believed that even if he stopped visiting her and doting on her, she would still be able to live well in the palace.

This shows the preciousness of Hongxiu even more, this woman was born completely dependent on him, he is her heaven and her earth.

In front of her, he is more like a real emperor.

If he is gone, she loses everything.

Han Liner caressed Hongxiu's beautiful face, kissed her nostalgicly, hugged her, but did not touch her deeply.

Hongxiu also always wondered why Han Liner didn't touch her. She had a way to hide the fact that she was not a virgin. The women in the brothel knew these tricks.

After Han Liner left, Hongxiu sat at the table and poured herself a cup of cold tea. She hadn't messaged Mr. An and the others for a long time. Although she followed Han Liner, Han Liner didn't intend to compete with Liu Futong for power. The idea of ​​power, even if she has all-powerful ability, she can't make it out.

She was more anxious than anyone else in her heart, but she still had to cheer up to deal with Han Liner and the queen.

The queen was also in a hurry. She tried every means to send Hongxiu to Han Lin'er. The purpose was to make Hongxiu a concubine and live in Concubine Li's bedroom or nearby, so that Concubine Li's child could be aborted and she could continue to secure her seat.

But Hongxiu has not been named a concubine for a long time, and it is impossible for her to ask Han Liner.

After all, only if Han Liner believes that Hongxiu is not her person, can Hongxiu approach Li Guifei.

Hong Xiu unfolded the secret letter sent by the queen.

The queen was asking why she hadn't been concubine yet, why she hadn't approached Concubine Li Gui yet.

In addition to questioning, the queen was also emotional, expressing that she was worried that Hongxiu would not be able to sleep all night. She regarded Hongxiu as her own sister, and promised that as long as she gave birth to a child, she would let Hongxiu raise her with her.

In the end, she also thoughtfully asked if Han Liner didn't love Hongxiu, and if Han Liner had no intention of Hongxiu, she would continue to think of a way.

Looking at the letter, Hongxiu felt that although the queen was the mother of a country, she was so pathetic, and perhaps she was no different from a prostitute.

The queen begged her in the letter, begging for a little court lady, who pinned all the hopes of the queen.

Hongxiu burned the letter.

If this letter gets out, she won't have to gain a foothold in the palace.

What's more, her goal was never the queen, but Han Lin'er, and her eyes were not fixed on the harem, but on the front court.

The queen was just her springboard. She used the queen to get close to Han Liner. She had already achieved her goal, and the queen naturally lost all use value.

Hong Xiu bit her lip, she was in the harem now, and she was just a little court lady, she had no access to the front court at all.

It would be great if she was a man. Cutting off that thing and becoming a servant would be in a better situation than the current situation. After all, the servant can get in touch with officials, so she can think of more ways anyway.

At this time, Hongxiu knew that she should be calmer. She found a servant, and asked him who Han Liner had announced to meet as before. She would give him some benefits, no more, no less, more , Feed out the servant's appetite, and it will be more difficult to ask in the future.

She wasn't worried about what the servants suspected, after all, it was common for concubines to inquire about the emperor's movements, and everyone knew it.

The servant told Hongxiu: "The emperor has announced the affairs of Liu Yuan."

Hongxiu gave the gold bracelet to the servant.

Liu Yuanshi refers to Liu Liu, who was named Pingzhang Yuanshi and held real power.

He was awarded the title together with Du Zundao, but Du Zundao was killed by Liu Futong.

Hongxiu finally had a smile on his face.

She knew where to start.

She, a woman controlled by Han Lin'er, could not arouse his ambition.

But for important ministers who hold real power, they can.
