Chapter 120: When My Concubine

  Daughter, after eating, you have to acknowledge 120 chapters as my concubine! (text)

  Looking at Han Xi's eyes filled with confusion and entanglement, it seems that she is still confused about her relationship with Gui Mie Zhen and Gui Mie Chen.

  Xiao Ran's heart was half joyful and half worried about this.

  Fortunately, since Tong'er still doesn't know how they are defined in her heart, this means that they actually haven't taken the position of a lover in Tong'er's heart yet.

  Unfortunately, perhaps Ling'er is unclear for a moment now, so he must capture her heart before she is uncertain about her own heart!

  After making up her mind, Xun Xiao Ran calmed down and immediately said as Han Xi Tong was still in doubt.

  "Jing'er, since you don't blame me, can we go back to how things were before..."

  "What? Which one?"

  Hanhee's still dazed eyes met with a puzzled gaze, but unexpectedly, she was met with Jang Tae-oh's bright red face!

  Actually, Xiang Xiao Ran wanted to say is, go back to the previous relationship.

  Can hold her hand, can be coquettish to her, when moved, can kiss her sweet little mouth, and then, can push her down, do something loving...

  Heaven knows, he had never paid attention to those things between men and women before, so he always wondered why all the men in the world were so fond of that sort of thing.

  Sometimes he even despises his fourth brother, saying that he always flirts with women, what's so good about them anyway.

  Still just a pair of eyes, one nose and a mouth, if they have anything special, it's that they have an extra pair of big round things compared to men.

  However, later on, when he was in the bathtub and saw Tsubaki for the first time, he knew that he was done for!

  The woman in front of me is so beautiful.

  Although at that time she looked at him with a gaze like a hungry wolf seeing its prey, as if it was going to pounce on him and devour him completely. However, his heart still couldn't help but violently thud.

  What a feeling, so wonderful!

  It's as if something has taken root in his heart, sprouted, and his heartbeat accelerates, his mind is racing...

  Moreover, in his heart there was an impulse calling out to him, she was his, he must have her!

  It was this impulse that made him realize that this woman would be the most precious thing in his life, and he must cherish her well and love her deeply.

  After experiencing that kind of life-and-death struggle, he became thoroughly infatuated with that sort of thing. He often thought that from then on, he would spend his days and nights in bed with Tong'er.

  Unfortunately, it is very difficult to win her heart.

  After his investigation, he finally found out that Tong Er had a very close cousin brother, and the two of them were childhood sweethearts, almost to the point of getting married. If her cousin brother hadn't been murdered, she might have already become someone's wife by now.

  Perhaps, Tong Er's heart is loving her deceased older male cousin.

  So she didn't love him, and he knew it.

  But at the time he was willing to wait.

  After all, he didn't believe it, thinking that as the sixth prince of the Tianxuan Empire, he couldn't even compare to a dead person!

  However, while he was waiting for her, peach blossoms bloomed one after another by her side, which was something he absolutely would not permit!

  So Xing Xiao Ran thought that he should take advantage of the current situation to ask Ling Er clearly, and then slowly turn her heart towards himself, which is the right thing to do.

  Xing thought of this, and her phoenix eyes flickered for a moment, staring tightly at Han Xi's pupils, with such seriousness and determination in her eyes.

  "Pupil, I like you, don't you know?"

  "Uh..."

  When Xing Xiao Ran said this seriously, Han Xi's face slightly froze, and then she heard Xing Xiao Ran continue to say.

  "What I mean is, we start anew, whatever you want, I can satisfy you, I want you... as my queen! One and only! You want a lifelong love of one pair, I can also give it to you!"

  Crystal clear, every word and sentence, so firm!

  And his words were undoubtedly very tempting!

  For a prince like him who is talented and handsome, as long as he crooks his finger, there are many women who would throw themselves at him. Not to mention being his official wife, even if it's just being his concubine or maid, serving tea and pouring water, there are still many women willing.

  And what he gave to Han Xiuxiu was something that all the women in the world had been longing for, if it were another woman, she would definitely nod her head and agree without hesitation, some might even be overjoyed to tears!

  But as for Xiang Xiao Ran's words, Han Xi Tong only felt like a thunderstorm on a clear day, and she was completely stunned.

  "What!?! Be your concubine!?!"

  Good heavens, here we go again!

  It's already the second one tonight!

  Is she really that charming? How come she never realized it.

  Actually, she just thinks she's still pretty good-looking, but in other areas like music, chess, books and painting, she's not skilled at all. Why do people look at her as if they're looking at a delicious pastry?

  Han Xi's eyes were puzzled, and she was now extremely headache.

  It turned out that she had known before that Xiang Xiao Ran liked her, but unexpectedly, they had already been apart for more than half a year, and he still liked her.

  But to him, she just treated him as a little brother, perhaps, had some affection for him, however, if she were to marry him and become his concubine, even with the temptation of being the only one in life, she still...

  "Uh, this, Xiao Ran, listen to me!"

  Han Xi hesitated for a long time before opening her mouth to say something.

  Because she knew Xun was a good person, so she really didn't want to hurt him, it's just that...

  Thinking of this, Han Xi's eyes seemed to have made up her mind, and she bit her silver teeth tightly before opening her mouth to tell Xuan Xiao Ran clearly.

  But before she could say a word, her lips were immediately covered by a slender finger.

  "Your eyes, you're also tired, take a rest first!"

  "Huh?" But she hadn't even said anything yet!

  Han Xi blinked her big round eyes, wanting to say something, but in fact, she didn't know that Xun Shaoyan had already seen through her thoughts from the expression on her face just now.

  My heart is even more panicked and disordered, in unbearable pain.

  He had thought he and Tong'er could start anew, full of hope. But now he realized that it was all just his own wishful thinking.

  Is her heart still in it?

  Could it be that she had never seen his true feelings for her, or...

  What was in Tong Er's heart, he wasn't clear, but he knew that up until now, Tong Er had never thought of him.

  He is sad, he is pained, he is grieved...

  But he didn't want to hear her refusing him, because if she did, he would die!

  So, even if it's just self-deception, he'd rather continue on his own accord...

  She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and smiled lightly at Han Xi with a hint of a smile.

  But heaven knows, he looks uglier when smiling than when crying at this moment.

  What's more, the desolation and disappointment in his eyes are even more heart-wrenching.

  Seeing Xuan Xiao's current appearance, Han Xi's eyes seemed to know something, so she didn't say much.

  But in my heart, I often sighed.

  Alas, Xiao Ran, what's wrong with you again!?

  I'm an innocent person, I don't deserve to be treated like this...

  In her heart, she felt a sense of foreboding. However, when Han Xi's gaze fell on Xun Xiao Ran's gloomy and handsome face, looking at the dark circles under his eyes, she knew he must be tired.

  After all, he had been exhausted for several days. Seeing this, Han Xi's eyes suppressed the words she wanted to say earlier and simply nodded at him.

  "Alright then, Xiaoran you should get some rest too!"

  "Alright, goodnight, my child..."

  "Good night."

  After saying goodnight to Xiang Xiuran, Han Xi left Xiang Xiuran's room.

  The faint smile that had been on Xiang's face all along remained until the moment he left through the wooden door, when it suddenly faded away.

  "Little one, after all, do you still have a heart..."

  The night grew darker. Outside, the cold wind howled, northwest winds constantly whistling by, sweeping away the remaining clouds, the gusts of wind like invisible knives, blowing painfully against people's faces.

  Inside the house, the stove was burning vigorously, warming up the whole room. However, at this moment, Xue felt as if she were in a cold and icy place, her heart frozen into ice...

  It wasn't until much later that Xiang Xiao Ran let out a sigh, lying in bed, unable to fall asleep...

  Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night...

  ……

  However, how could an insomniac be like him?

  Watching that small and familiar figure leave Xun Xiao Ran's room, on the second floor opposite Xun Xiao Ran's room, a carved flower window was lightly opened.

  The dim candlelight in the room stretched the shadow of the man standing by the bed into a long, thin line.

  The cold wind kept pouring in from the open carved window, and even though there was a burning stove inside, the warm air would be swept away by the biting wind in an instant.

  A cold room...

  The cold wind kept blowing in, rolling up the man's snow-white sleeves, and his long hair set him off as quiet yet aloof, warm but with a hint of desolation...

  The man stood by the bed for a long time, knowing that Han Xi's figure was gradually disappearing from his line of sight. It took him a long time to come back to himself, and he let out a faint sigh...

  "Dear eyes, dear eyes, is it really so hard to get you?"

  After sighing, the man smiled wryly.

  That elegant and gentle face, that smile, was like the March sunshine, warm but with a hint of melancholy...

  ……

  Until Han Xi's eyes returned to her room and turned off the lights to sleep, a hurried figure rushed towards her room.

  However, when he saw that Han Xi's room was already pitch black, he couldn't help but stomp his feet and muttered in frustration.

  "Damn it, I'm late!"

  Oh, let's not disturb Ling'er while she's sleeping!

  Staring at the dark room, Xuan Yang Lie thought to himself.

  Originally, he planned to get in touch with Han Xi Tong tonight and had a lot of words to say to her!

  Who knew, halfway through, the emperor summoned him to lecture, saying nothing more than asking him not to be so impulsive in the future, to restrain his temper, and also to get along with his brothers and sisters, not to fight...

  It's all just the same old talk, he's heard it so much his ears are about to grow calluses.

  Finally waited for Father Emperor to finish speaking, he immediately rushed towards Ling'er's side, even if he could say one or two sentences to her, he was already satisfied.

  After all, from the moment he met Ling'er until now, he had never been alone with her. He had a lot to say, but it was inconvenient to speak in front of many people. Now, even if he wanted to say something, it's too late.

  Thinking of this, Lie Yan's heart felt a bit down and lost, but he still sighed and turned to go back to his room to rest.

  However, just as Yang Lie was about to turn around, a tall and majestic figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

  As he looked clearly at the figure, Xuan Yang Lie's face sank even further.

  While Guimyeo clearly saw Hwang Yeon-ju standing at the entrance of Han Hui-tae's room, his icy face remained calm and unruffled, as if he didn't even notice Hwang Yeon-ju was there. His sharp eyes completely passed over him and looked towards Han Hui-tae's room instead.

  When he saw that Han Xi's room had already turned off the lights, he slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to leave, completely ignoring a certain person.

  Even if they share the same blood, it doesn't mean anything for a ghost.

  Moreover, the people he cares about are not this group of so-called brothers at all. He only needs Xiaoyu and that's enough...

  Compared to Gui Mei's indifference, seeing him turn around and leave without hesitation made Zhen Yang Lie feel like he was invisible, but it also made his originally gloomy mood even more irritable.

  "Damn it! How detestable!"

  Who does he think he is?! What's with the attitude?!

  And what did he come here for just now? Is he looking for Ling'er?!

  Hmph, Tong'er is his! Thinking of snatching Tong'er away? Not a chance!

  ……

  After several days, Han Xi Tong and her group finally returned to the capital in a grand manner.

  The Lunar New Year is approaching, and a new year is coming soon.

  Only in the streets of Beijing, it's more prosperous than ever!

  On the wide street, the snow had been swept clean. On both sides of the street, all kinds of shops stood in great numbers, including silk shops, rouge shops, inns and wine shops, everything was available.

  Among them were acrobatic troupes performing, drawing crowds of people bursting into loud laughter and applause.

  Looking at this familiar street, Han Xi's eyes were filled with emotion.

  At that time, when she left the imperial palace and left the capital, she had thought that she would never set foot here again in this life. Unexpectedly, it was only half a year later that she returned.

  Looking at this familiar street, familiar scenery, Han Xi's heart was confused...

  ……

  After returning to the palace, according to Xun Xiao Ran's intention, Han Xi Tong still lived in his own palace, but each of the men must have had an opinion!

  "No way, why does Ling'er have to live with you?!"

  Even if it's the weak and feeble Xuan Mei Chen, as long as it's about Han Xi Tong, he will absolutely not back down!

  Upon hearing Xuan Mei Chen's objection, Xuan Xiao Ran had an expression of "it's only natural".

  "Because in the past, Tong Er lived with me, oh, Sixth Brother wouldn't know, who in the entire imperial palace doesn't know that Tong Er is my woman?!"

  "That's all in the past, doesn't Seventh Brother know that Tong'er is living in a different courtyard, but she's still facing me every day, she lives in my pavilion, and my room and hers are only separated by one wall..."

  When Xuan Xiao Ran said those words, Xuan Mei Chen got angry!

  Even if he has a good temper, he will still be jealous!

  Especially recently, I just knew that Tong Er had a past with Xuan Xiao Ran, which made him excited and jealous. He hated the heavens for not letting him meet Tong Er earlier.

  It's false to say that he doesn't mind his beloved woman having a past with other men, but who hasn't had a past? So, he can forgive, however, if Tong Er continues to live in Xiao Ya Palace now, he absolutely disagrees!

  Must live in his Jinchen Palace!

  Hearing Xuan Mei Chen and Xuan Xiao Ran's argument, as the eldest, Xuan Tian Qi couldn't help but frown her beautiful eyebrows and spoke up.

  "Stop arguing, you two! If Father finds out about this, it won't be good for Tong'er!"

  Xuan Tian Qi is telling the truth. Xuan Xiao Ran, as princes, are the most favored sons of their father, the Emperor. If their father were to find out about their intentions towards Han Xi Tong, it would lead to discord among brothers and might make their father...

  When they heard Tian Qi's words, Mei Chen and Xiao Ran also felt a slight tremble in their hearts, suddenly awakening.

  Xiang Yang Lie, who was standing beside him, also had a worried look on his face.

  Today, they just returned to the palace, except for Gui Mei who had to deal with her mother's affairs, the others all gathered in Xiang Ya Palace of Xiang Shao Ran.

  Han Xi Tong was pulled out by You Er to chat about family matters that seemed endless. His brothers were discussing in the main hall where Han Xi Tong would live.

  Everyone naturally wanted Han Xi Tong to live in their own palace, so there was a dispute!

  After arguing for most of the day, Xuan Tianqi couldn't bear it anymore and spoke up.

  "Everyone stop arguing, if Tong'er were to live in anyone's palace, everyone would have an opinion. Why not let Tong'er live in the Chenghuan Hall instead!"

  Chenghuan Hall is a very elegant palace, which was used in the past to receive princesses from various countries.

  Upon hearing this, everyone felt a slight sense of disappointment that they couldn't stay in their own palace, but this outcome was actually the best.

  Seeing her several brothers having nothing to say, Xuan Tianqi, who had a gentle and elegant face, was actually secretly laughing in her heart.

  Because Tong Er lives in either Xuan Mei Chen's or Xuan Xiao Ran's palace, it is all unfavorable to him. If Tong Er were to live with any of them and promote their feelings for each other, what would he do?

  If Tong Er lived alone in a palace, he used to be able to find excuses to go see her...

  Thinking of this, Tianqi's heart felt sweet and pleasant.

  Not to mention his dark belly, for his own beloved woman, actually, also need to play a little trick...

  However, Han Hye-rim had no idea that several men were secretly discussing her residence. She was outside chatting with Eui-ri about interesting things, but most of the time, it was Eui-ri complaining about something.

  Because of getting along with Han Xi Tong before, I knew that Han Xi Tong had never treated herself as a maid, but rather as her own sister or friend. This made the originally strict and dignified Rong Er also become more casual when together with Han Xi Tong, saying whatever came to mind.

  "Oh my goodness, my aunt, you've really come back! Think about how I almost died when you left without a word. The prince was searching for you everywhere and the people in the palace had to endure his icy stare every day, it's terrifying..."

  You'er chattered on like a sparrow, and besides, You'er had no idea why Han Xi Tong left in the first place, so he just said whatever came to mind.

  Hearing Rong Er's words, Han Xi only smiled wryly and said a few interesting things to change the subject.

  Because of what happened half a year ago, she didn't want to say anything and didn't know how to say it.

  Youer was simple-minded and didn't notice when Han Xi Tong changed the subject. Listening to Han Xi Tong's interesting stories, he couldn't help but laugh with a blooming smile. Then, he thought of something fun and excitedly said...

  "It's great that you're back, girl! The New Year here is really lively. Many foreign envoys have come to visit and there are many interesting activities too!"

  "Oh, really?"

  What Youyu said was so exciting and vivid that it piqued Han Xi's interest.

  "Yes, yes, so I said it's good for the girl to come back, hehe..."

  You'er smiled and told Han Xi Tong all about the interesting things that had happened during the New Year's celebrations. Han Xi Tong listened quietly, smiling along with You'er whenever she heard something amusing. The clear, melodious sound of their laughter was so captivating that it carried all the way to the main hall, where several men were sitting. Their gazes followed the sound of the laughter and fell silently on the woman whose smile was as lovely as a flower, their eyes dazed with admiration...

  ……

  Chenghuan Hall, with carved beams and painted rafters, has an ancient charm. The halls and pavilions are arranged in a harmonious layout, with winding corridors and artificial hills, all exquisitely crafted!

  It's just the cold winter month, everywhere is covered with white snow, making the whole palace look like a fairyland, pure and transparent!

  At a glance, Han Xi's eyes liked this place, and her heart sighed even more.

  Who would have thought that a place as grand and luxurious as an imperial palace could also be so delicate and refined.

  Moreover, this place is far away from the hustle and bustle of the palace, showing a somewhat peaceful scene, but it has also distanced itself from the worldly disputes and ugliness.

  Later, Han Xi Tong temporarily lived here.

  Because You'er got along well with Han Xi Tong, Xuan Xiao Ran then gave You'er to Han Xi Tong and had her serve Han Xi Tong.

  Actually, Xing Xiao Ran also had his own motives here. After all, no matter what You Er said, he was his person. Usually, if Han Xi Tong interacted with those people, she would have to tell him about it, so that he could be mentally prepared.

  While Gui Mei, after entering the imperial palace, Xuan Huang announced his identity in court and let him recognize his ancestors. Because he was younger than Xuan Tian Qi, he was ranked second and titled as Second Imperial Prince, and was granted a prince's mansion.

  The name "Gui Mei" was actually taken by Ba Zhen Tian, but Gui Mei has now acknowledged her ancestors and naturally took the surname Xuan Huang, renaming herself as Xuan Mei!

  The mother of Gui Mei, Qing He, was also sealed as Concubine Qing.

  Because Gui Mie was recognized by Xuan Huang, and he was a talented and extraordinary person, when the construction of the imperial prince's mansion was completed, many officials in the court went to flatter and congratulate him.

  Because everyone didn't know that Gui Mie's other identity was Luo Sha Ge, the master of Luo Sha Pavilion who made the imperial court and Jianghu tremble with fear. So after learning that Gui Mie wasn't married yet, everyone started to have ideas, wanting to marry their own daughters off to him.

  Although the crown prince of Tianxuan Imperial Court has been decided, it must be Xing Tianqi! However, judging from Xing Huang's attitude towards Guiying in recent days, I don't know if he feels that he owes Guiying for so many years. As a result, whatever good things Xing Huang has, they are constantly being sent to the Second Prince's mansion.

  What silks, satins, and velvets, gold, silver, jade utensils, antique vases, mountain delicacies, sea treasures, rare treasures, etc., are all available, dazzling people's eyes, making them dizzy and envious of others!

  Guang is the darling of Gui Mei, so naturally everyone sees the wind and makes the rudder, going to curry favor.

  Unfortunately, the ghost is naturally indifferent, cold and proud, and has no interest in these flattering and fawning things.

  With a wave of his hand, all those people were shut out.

  Then all the ministers gradually shifted their target and went to Xun Xiangran and Xun Yanglie.

  After all, these few people were the princes that Xing Huan liked the most. Most importantly, none of them had yet to establish a crown princess.

  The original fourth prince, Yang Lie, is now the fifth prince due to the ghostly recognition of his ancestors.

  The fifth prince was elegant and refined, often lingering in the flower crowds. In the past, the high-ranking officials saw this and dared not to send their own daughters to Xiangyang Lie's side. However, now this fifth prince seemed to have changed into a different person, after wandering around outside for several months, his whole person became much more restrained.

  He was no longer seen strolling around the brothels, so the madam of the brothel was still complaining that with the fifth prince gone, her business had dwindled significantly...

  As for the prince, he has been clean and pure since childhood, never getting involved with women. However, in the past, some officials wanted to send their daughters to him, but they were all sent back, or became maidservants sweeping floors in the palace.

  After this lesson, no one dares to send anyone here again.

  After all, their own daughters are all refined and elegant, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. They wouldn't dare send them to be mistreated by the prince.

  However, the prince's side has become a sweet pastry.

  After all, the crown prince is the future emperor of the Tianxuan dynasty, who wouldn't want to curry favor with him?!

  Moreover, the crown prince was renowned for his gentle and refined temperament. In his mansion, there were also ten beauties, all of whom were gifts from the emperor. Although many people knew that the crown prince had never touched any of those ten great beauties, merely keeping them in his mansion as decorations, men are like this - who doesn't love beautiful women?

  Or perhaps those beauties just didn't meet his expectations, he didn't like them, but that doesn't mean his own daughter wouldn't meet his expectations either.

  If you are favored by the crown prince and give birth to a son or daughter, will you still be unable to secure the position of future empress?

  Everyone thought of this and they all went to send gifts and daughters to the Crown Prince's wife. As a result, the Crown Prince's mansion was bustling with people coming and going every day, without interruption.

  However, no matter how patiently Tian Qi refused, those officials were like they had taken an aphrodisiac, their hearts fluttering with excitement.

  In fact, Xuan Tianqi didn't know that there was another reason why the ministers were so enthusiastic.

  It's all because of Xing Huan's deliberate intention...

  Xuan Huang is a shrewd person, no one knows his son better than he does.

  These sons are all his most cherished and favored, and each one is so outstanding that it makes him feel extremely proud.

  After all, royal kinship is hard to come by. How many dynasties have been ruined because of a throne, with brothers killing each other and fathers being murdered? Therefore, Jing Xuan did not want anyone to make his sons not get along with each other.

  So he has to think of a way...
