Harem: Luo Chen's Resentment

"Get up. I'm tired. I'm going to rest." Qin Muyun stood up and went to the rear hall.

"Your majesty, chenqie is also sleepy." Luo Chen stood up and followed Qin Muyun to the rear hall.

"Chen'er, aren't you physically …"

"Your majesty, chenqie is fine." Luo Chen replied embarrassedly.

Qin Muyun knew what Luo Chen meant, so he carried Luo Chen and went to the rear hall.

Luo Chen knew that her occasional distance from Qin Muyun would only make him want to get closer to him. After all, what she wouldn't get was the best. But Qin Muyun was also a Monarch, he could not be excessive.

And after Li Zai Xiang found out that Luo Ning had been released, he was so angry that he didn't sleep well the entire night. In the morning of the next day, a letter was delivered to imperial concubine Yao's hands. The letter mentioned this matter, and also ordered the imperial concubine Yao to get the emperor's favor as soon as possible. The women in the palace could only bring benefits to their family if they received the emperor's favor. If imperial concubine Shu blocks her way, we'll get rid of her!

imperial concubine Yao thought that Luo Chen's brother would leave the imperial court this time without losing her life, but after seeing her father's letter, she knew that Luo Ning had been released. Who would have such great ability? It seemed like Luo Chen was the only one who could do so.

"Hmph, Luo Chen, I want to see just who the real future master of this harem is between you and me!"

When Luo Ning returned home, he found out from his father that the one who had saved him was actually his elder sister who had entered the palace. His father also told Luo Ning how difficult it was for the Imperial Concubine Su to stay in the palace. On one hand, it was because of the Emperor's suspicions, and on the other hand, it was to deal with the framing of the imperial concubines.

Luo Ning did not receive much damage in the prison, but his father took care of him while he was in there. But after spending half a month in jail, he had come to understand many things, including the clan's mission.

"Elder sister, since your life in the palace has been so difficult, and little brother dotes on you, little brother will use his own power to help you sit in the palace's most respected position!" An idea formed in Luo Ning's mind, and this idea prompted the emergence of an outstanding prime minister.

With the arrival of the full moon, the palace's annual Mid-Autumn Festival began.

"Chen'er, for tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival, your father and younger brother should come back. You should have a good talk with them!" Qin Muyun reminded Luo Chen.

Luo Chen nodded. In the past, Qin Muyun would never remind him about such a small thing. Had she discovered the letter between him and her father? No, if she found out about Qin Muyun, she would have already come to capture him, but the Third Marquis was not someone as petty as that, she would need to find an opportunity to test the Third Marquis!

Inside the Supreme Harmony Hall, Qin Muyun finished processing the report and called for the Eunuch Zhang.

"Zhang Shengpei, keep an eye on imperial concubine Shu tonight. Pay special attention to the movements of imperial concubine Shu and their forces." Qin Muyun instructed the Eunuch Zhang.

Qin Muyun couldn't explain his feelings for Luo Chen. Did he like her or love her or suspect her? In fact, even he himself felt that his care and love for Luo Chen had a purpose. He might as well be like his other concubines and treat her as an accessory, but he couldn't bear to part with Luo Chen!

As night fell, the banquet would begin. A palace maid dressed in neat palace attire, wearing makeup that would brighten the eyes of anyone who saw it, carrying delicious food through the great hall. She could really be described as more delicate than a flower.

The officials who had come to attend the banquet were led to their seats by a palace maid. imperial concubine Yao's father had arrived along with his wife. Li Zai Xiang had accomplished a great service in dealing with the disaster, and there was no doubt that the Emperor would reward them today. Everyone knew of the Prime Minister's achievements as they all came to congratulate him. At that moment, the hall was filled with the sound of wine being drunk.

"The emperor has arrived, the Esteemed Empress Rongfei has arrived, the Imperial Concubine Su has arrived." A loud voice rang out, and only then did the officials realize that the emperor had arrived. They quickly dispersed from the Prime Minister's side, finding their respective seats and paying their respects to the emperor.

"Everyone, please rise." Qin Muyun said to the official. Looking at the peaceful and prosperous world under his rule, Qin Muyun was extremely happy in his heart.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. We will enjoy the full moon together with our beloved officials. We will experience this peaceful times." After Qin Muyun finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank to his heart's content. Only then did the officials below moved their chopsticks.

Luo Chen and imperial concubine Yao followed Qin Muyun and sat down, one on Qin Muyun's right and one on the left. Coincidentally, the right seat was occupied by Luo Chen's father, Luo Tan, and the left seat was occupied by Li Xiaowan's father, Li Jin.

Qin Muyun looked at Luo Chen, who was to her right, and felt that Luo Chen was exceptionally moving tonight. Luo Chen was dressed in a blue brocade dress, with a light blue muslin like smoke. She had a light fan belt tied around her waist, and her black hair was tied up high in the air. Luo Chen's dressing couldn't help but attract Qin Muyun's attention, and even the Third Marquis who had entered the palace with the empress dowager.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager is thousands of years old." The greetings from the ministers and officials brought back the emperor's heart, as well as the Third Marquis' heart.

Qin Muyun stood up and took the empress dowager's seat, while the Third Marquis also took his seat.

"Third brother, didn't you say that you don't want to come today?" Before the banquet, Qin Muxuan had told his that he wasn't coming because he was sick, so he didn't come.

The empress dowager opened her mouth before the Third Marquis could speak. "It was Wailing Home that had Xuan'er accompany him here, he always runs far away, and Wailing Home can't even see him a few times a year. Naturally, we have to put him in front of our eyes."

Qin Muyun smiled, and listened to the empress dowager's advice.

Qin Muyun turned his head and saw that Luo Chen was drinking. Thus, he urged Luo Chen to drink less.

Luo Chen nodded to Qin Muyun while smiling, saying that she wanted to go for a walk, seems like she drank a bit too much.

Qin Muyun was a little worried. He wanted to go out with her, but he would have to reward his with some rewards later on.

When imperial concubine Yao saw the Emperor gently questioning Luo Chen, the gentle light in her eyes became unconcealed. She was so angry that she was about to stand up, but she still restrained herself ruthlessly.

Once Luo Chen left, the Third Marquis could no longer sit still. When Luo Chen walked out just now, she glanced at him. He understood the meaning behind that glance, but should she really go out? The dashing Third Marquis had become a man of the mortal world!

Luo Chen walked to a hidden fake mountain and stopped, ordering Lan Er to stand guard nearby.

"Imperial Concubine Su, what business do you have with This King?" The Third Marquis' voice sounded from behind Luo Chen. He still couldn't stop herself from worrying, and still couldn't let go of Luo Chen.

"Chenqie, today I am here to thank Third Marquis for helping out with my younger brother's matter." Luo Chen bowed and thanked the Third Marquis.
