Soon her worries were overshadowed by her vanity.
That idiot Bei Yutang can be favored without any problems, so why can’t she? With her own intelligence, she was helpless against those women. (T/N: Idiot, of course, because she has a good family background, but you are not. Stop dreaming!)
Xia Yuwei is very confident in herself.
No longer needed to hide behind, no longer needed to live by looking at other people’s faces. She could finally come up to people and tell everyone that she was Emperor Nan’s favorite.
Xia Yuwei was very excited and happy. When she thought of this huge harem, all the women were jealous and envious of her, her supreme vanity completely satisfied her desires.
Xia He was still here worrying about what to do, completely unaware that her master had let herself go.
“Your Majesty, what should we do now? Should we tell the Emperor about this?”
Tell Nan Shaotian? He will definitely divert his attention and dote on Concubine Chen. Xia Yuwei could not help but think of the beautiful singing and piano music that she heard under the palace wall that day.
A person who can sing such a beautiful voice can also play the piano with a higher level of attainment than her. There is no guarantee that Nan Shaotian will not develop a liking for her and fall in love with her after spending time together day and night.
No, absolutely not.
She did not want to take the risk, and she did not want to hide behind her all the time. After enjoying the feeling of being looked up to and envied by others, she no longer wanted to hide behind Concubine Chen.
“No need.” Xia Yuwei made a decision.
Xia He was stunned and looked at her in astonishment, “Your Majesty, you will get hurt if you do this.”
At the same time, a bright yellow figure walked into the inner hall. The servant outside was about to salute, but he stopped him.
As soon as he walked to the door, he stopped in place before taking a step, just because…
“Do you think I am inferior to that idiot Bei Yutang? A stupid woman who can’t even tell whether she is really favored, a fool who doesn’t even know her own situation. Such a person can always stand safely in the harem and enjoy the honor and favor given to her by the Emperor. Do you think I will be inferior to her?”
Xia He immediately knelt down to plead guilty, “This slave deserves to die. This is not what I meant.”
“I had been hiding behind that woman for long enough. I also want to have a taste of standing in front of others. Okay, get up. You don’t need to tell the Emperor about this matter, I will handle it on my own.”
“Yes.”
Outside the hall, Nan Shaotian almost wondered if his ears had heard it wrong. Was the person who spoke in that contemptuous and vicious tone just now the gentle and kind-hearted Xia Yuwei he knew?
Xia Yuwei’s words really gave Nan Shaotian a big blow. Nan Shaotian looked into the hall with a complicated expression, but he never took another step forward with his raised foot.
Nan Shaotian turned around and said coldly to the person waiting at the door before leaving: “Don’t let Concubine Liang know about my coming here. If even half of it is revealed, everyone will be put to death.”
“Yes.” The servant standing at the palace gate was trembling with fear.
San Dezi looked at the gloomy Nan Shaotian and could not help but shake his head at Concubine Liang. Concubine Liang was really unlucky. When she said such words, the Emperor accidentally overheard her.
“There is no need to do what I just told you.” Nan Shaotian said coldly.
“Yes.” San Dezi responded carefully.
The Emperor knew that the people in the harem knew about his stay at Hanxuan Palace these past few days. He had already ordered the people below to investigate the matter thoroughly. Now the Emperor did not care about it. The meaning was self-evident.
