Chapter 476 Princess Shuyi
"Your Majesty, Miss Tumi has gone to the harem to meet the Empress."
Eunuch Qin walked lightly into the imperial study and whispered to Yan Qiao who was still reviewing memorials.
"Well, has Prince Han come?" Yan Qiao's mind was on the memorial in his hand at this moment. After hearing the report, he just continued to ask indifferently.
"Your Majesty, Prince Han brought Miss Tumi here personally. I heard that she is still waiting outside the palace." Eunuch Qin bowed and replied.
"It's strange. I have never seen my second brother cherish a woman so much." Yan Qiao couldn't help but sneer and sighed when he heard it.
Eunuch Qin also smiled but said nothing, continuing to serve by his side.
After a while, when Yan Qiao finished reviewing the memorial in his hand, he suddenly couldn't help but ask out of curiosity:
"Is that Miss Tumi really stunningly beautiful?"
"I have never seen it, so I dare not speak nonsense in front of His Majesty, but I heard that as soon as Miss Tu Mi appeared, many people in the palace went to the Imperial Garden!" Eunuch Qin bowed slightly and replied with his brows lowered.
"Really? Is there no one in my harem who can compare with her?" Yan Qiao raised his eyebrows and smiled disapprovingly. He has never been greedy for beauty, and it was only because of the suspicious identity of that woman that he paid attention to her.
"A little girl cannot be compared with the ladies in the palace." Eunuch Qin also bowed and smiled.
Yan Qiaofeng narrowed her eyes slightly, suddenly stopped the cinnabar brush in her hand, and then ordered Eunuch Qin: "Go and invite King Han."
Eunuch Qin did not understand the emperor's intention, and did not dare to ask more questions, so he just responded and left.
"I, the servant Tu Mi, pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
In the imperial garden of the harem, Luoying pretended to be terrified and came before Queen Rong, kneeling down to pay her respects.
"Stand up." The queen was graceful and elegant, and waved her hand and smiled at her.
At this time, in the pavilion, the queen had already dismissed all the concubines and only spoke to Luoying alone. However, the concubines and palace maids and eunuchs in the other palaces still admired this peerless beauty from afar. When they heard that she was the woman of King Han, the concubines secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she did not enter the harem, she would not be a threat to them.
"How old are you? Have you ever been to school?" Queen Rong liked Luoying more and more as she looked at her, so she stood up, took her soft and boneless hands and asked in a gentle voice.
"Your Majesty, I have just reached the age of marriage. I have read a few books and know a few words." Luoying lowered her eyes slightly and replied respectfully.
"You are as young as a flower, but you are more beautiful than any flower in the world. Everyone who sees you is happy. Prince Han is so lucky to have a wonderful person like you." Hearing her clear and romantic voice, Queen Rong was so delighted that she quickly pulled her to sit down.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am so lucky to meet the prince." When Luoying saw the kind and amiable Queen Rong in front of her, she couldn't help but think of her own sister-in-law and felt extremely melancholy.
"You are good-looking, you are good at speaking, and you are good in every way, except for your identity..." Queen Rong continued to stroke Luoying's delicate hand and smiled. After hesitating for a moment, she continued without beating around the bush: "Today, I feel very close to you, and I would like to take you as my sister. What do you think, Miss Tumi?"
“This…” Luoying was so surprised that she didn’t know how to respond.
Become the adopted sister of the Queen of Xiyue Kingdom?
She sneered in her heart, thinking that as a princess of a fallen country, she had approached Yan Han with a heart of revenge, but now she was walking step by step into the Yan royal family. This was indeed beyond her expectations.
Luoying also knew that Queen Rong did not really want to acknowledge her as her sister. It was only because the royal family saw that Yan Han was determined to marry a lowly maid as his princess, which brought shame to the royal family. That was why they asked the Queen to acknowledge her as her sister so as to elevate her status. At least it would not be so embarrassing to be called that by others. Moreover, it would also help to win Yan Han's heart and pretend that the brothers were in harmony and the relationship was closer.
"Miss Tu Mi, why don't you thank me quickly?" Seeing that the girl was in a daze for a while, a maid standing next to Queen Rong hurriedly reminded her.
"Tu Mi thanks the Queen for her kindness!" Luo Ying then knelt down in front of Queen Rong again.
"Didn't my royal brother angrily denounce the idea of asking the royal sister-in-law to recognize Tu Mi as her sister-in-law as absurd? Why did you agree today?" In the imperial study, Yan Han said with a teasing smile after being told about the queen's intention to see Tu Mi today.
Yan Qiao glared at him, then sighed helplessly: "You insist on marrying that girl, what can I do? I can only try my best to make your wedding as grand and decent as possible!"
Yan Han did not say anything else, but a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Since you bought this girl with your own money, can you check her background?" Yan Qiao ignored the sneer in his evil eyes and asked with concern.
"Don't worry, my royal brother. I'm not foolish enough to invite a wolf into the house and keep the danger around me. I doubted her identity before but now it has been clarified. Moreover, since she has been with me, Tu Mi has always been well-behaved and has never done anything suspicious." Yan Han bowed slightly and replied lazily.
"In that case, big brother will be relieved." Yan Qiao said nothing more after hearing this. He just patted the other person's shoulder and smiled.
"Your Majesty, when the Queen learned that Prince Han was in the imperial study, she had Miss Tu Mi sent here." At this time, Eunuch Qin entered the imperial study again and replied.
"Please come in quickly!" Yan Qiao gave Eunuch Qin his instructions, and then smiled at Yan Han and said, "I heard that my second brother's future Princess Han is extremely beautiful, so I'd like to take this opportunity to see her."
As she spoke, Luoying followed Eunuch Qin in light lotus steps and came in front of the Yan brothers who were staring at her infatuatedly. She lowered her eyes and knelt down to Yan Qiao respectfully: "Your servant Tu Mi pays homage to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!"
The fairy-like figure comes from Penglai Island, with bright and beautiful complexion. One glance from her can conquer the whole city, and another glance can conquer the whole country. She is truly unique and independent, with an immortal appearance unparalleled in the world!
Yan Qiao has always sneered at kings who lost their country because of beauties, but when he saw Luoying's fairy-like appearance, he suddenly understood the longing for beauty behind the saying "It's hard to find a beautiful woman again."
As soon as Yan Han and Luoying returned to the palace, the imperial edict arrived. Luoying was recognized as the queen's sister and was given the title of Princess Shuyi.
Yan Han was also happy about this. Although he didn't care about these false names, he also thought that since Tu Mi became the queen's sister, no one in the royal family would dare to use her identity to make trouble in the future. His woman would not have to suffer those grievances in front of others.
However, when he heard the final decree that Tu Mi had to move out of Prince Han's Mansion before the wedding, Yan Han's face turned cold again.
"The emperor means that Prince Han and Princess Shuyi have not yet married, so according to the rules and etiquette, they should not live together. The queen is also concerned about the reputation of her sister." After reading the imperial edict, Eunuch Qin saw that Yan Han was unhappy about this, so he smiled and tried to persuade him kindly.
Luoying, who was still kneeling silently, felt her head buzzing and her heart was even more panicked after hearing the decree. She thought that it would not be difficult to get close to Yan Han and avenge her brother and sister-in-law with her peerless beauty. However, the reality did not go according to the plan. After all, she was too naive.
Now she seemed to have fallen into the abyss. If she moved out of Prince Han's Mansion, it would be even more difficult to get close to Yan Han. Her only chance might be until the day of her wedding, but then she would inevitably become Prince Han's Consort.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Is your wound hurting again?" Yan Han ignored Eunuch Qin and helped Luoying, who was standing there in a daze. Seeing that she looked pale and worried, he asked with concern.
"Tu Mi...Tu Mi doesn't want to be separated from the prince." Luo Ying then pleaded to Yan Han in a low voice with tears in her beautiful eyes.
"Oh, Princess Shuyi, you are now the Queen's sworn sister, so you should follow etiquette. You can't endure it for long. When your injury is completely healed, we will set an auspicious day for Prince Han to welcome you into the palace with great fanfare. From now on, you are the legitimate Princess Han, and you will be able to live happily with Prince Han and never be separated again!" Seeing that he had finally persuaded Prince Han, but Princess Shuyi started to act like a spoiled brat again, Eunuch Qin had no choice but to coax her in a soft voice.
"Girl, didn't you ask me to treat you according to courtesy before? Why are you disobeying courtesy today?" Seeing her so pitiful, Yan Han felt distressed, but after listening to Eunuch Qin's two persuasions, he felt that there was some truth in it. He now truly regarded this girl as his wife-to-be, and treated her differently from the concubines in the mansion before. Since husband and wife are one, he will definitely cherish her.
Yan Han's words left Luo Ying speechless for a moment. She felt depressed but had no choice but to agree. But then she remembered that Brother Chen Ming was waiting for her at Anxiang Temple, and she just heard Eunuch Qin mention that she was going to move to the outskirts of the city, so it would be convenient for her to see Brother Chen Ming in the future.
