The Concubine of a Famous Family: Reborn as a Empress

Chapter 83 Weighing the pros and cons


Seeing her father's indifferent appearance, He Yan took a deep breath, her eyes bursting with solemnity.

"I don't know if my father has ever heard a saying that a tree is more beautiful than a forest, but the wind will destroy it."

Xu felt that He Yan had never been so serious, and He Qixiong suddenly felt a little weird, and couldn't help but put down the cup in his hand, and looked at her seriously.

"What do you want to say?"

"The emperor personally made an order to appoint our two young ladies from the He family to enter the palace. It is naturally a supreme honor, but it is because it is too special that it will attract the jealousy of others. The land of the harem is not an ordinary harem. The concubines represent the power of the family behind them, and the He family has two candidates for the election, what does father think Prime Minister Gu will think of you?"

When Prime Minister Gu was mentioned, He Qixiong's expression became tense, and he took a deep breath, remembering the balance of power in the harem.

The empress and the queen mother are both members of the Gu family. In the previous dynasty, there was Prime Minister Gu who had power in the court, and the harem had a queen who was the mother of the world. Even the queen mother was a member of the Gu family.

"Even Prime Minister Gu dare not refute the emperor's will."

"Yes, Prime Minister Gu doesn't dare on the surface, but what about in private?" He Yan said suddenly, with a little sharpness in her eyes, "The Gu family will never allow anyone to shake their power in the harem, and the emperor is already dissatisfied with Gu. The prime minister has been prime minister for many years, and now the power in the court is clearly divided, Father, if both of our He family daughters enter the palace to run for election, do you think that with the current momentum of our He family, we might be able to compete with the Gu family?"

"Prime Minister Gu's power over the government, of course he can't." He Qixiong's voice was a bit deep.

"The Gu family is all over the government and the public. If our He family becomes the target of public criticism, it will only bring endless trouble." He Yan said what was in her heart, carefully observing He Qixiong's expression, "Father, the emperor intends to let me enter the palace with my eldest sister." Gong is running for the election, do you know the intention behind this?"

If you know the emperor's intentions, maybe you can use it to avoid entering the palace.

The emperor's face appeared in his mind, and He Qixiong looked at He Yan opposite with meaningful eyes. Naturally, the matter of the emperor's attack when he was out of the palace cannot be revealed.

After thinking about it, He Qixiong comforted her, "You don't need to think too much. Although you and Xi'er are running for the election together, whether you can stay in the palace is still unknown. You don't need to worry too much. As for the emperor's intentions behind it... the emperor's thoughts Deep, how can I guess through it?"

Knowing that her father deliberately concealed it, He Yan knew that it would be useless to ask any more, so she simply stopped asking.

Containing the deepness in her eyes, He Yan smiled, "Then my daughter understands, and she can safely accompany her elder sister to enter the palace to participate in the election, but I'm afraid the result will disappoint my father."

He Qixiong understood what He Yan meant by these words, and nodded slightly, "It's okay, no matter whether you are selected or not, you will have no loss, once you enter the palace, it will be considered an eye-opener."

I had hoped that the emperor would take He Yan into the palace for the sake of saving his life, but obviously this girl has no intention of entering the palace. Things can be troublesome.

Seeing that her father understood what she meant, He Yan got up with a smile, exchanged a few words with He Qixiong and left the study.

As soon as she left the study, He Yan withdrew the smile on her face, a deep look covered her face, she was thinking a lot, and always felt that something was wrong with her father's expression.

"Father clearly understands what the emperor's will is, but why didn't he tell me?"

He Yan muttered in a low voice, but she really couldn't figure out the intention behind it. After thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out. She simply gave up and led Xiao Ruo back to the yard.

Anyway, she had already told her father in advance that asking her to enter the palace was a no-brainer, but it was still possible to go to the palace for a while. She was not interested in the intrigue behind the high walls of the harem.

Thinking of this, He Yan's heart relaxed a lot, and she jumped up and down in the yard happily.

He Lanxi, who had just come out of her mother's yard, was very happy to see He Yan bouncing around in the yard, and opposite her was her father's yard, so she immediately thought of the imperial decree.

Clenching the veil tightly, she walked slowly towards He Yan, with a warm smile in her eyes.

"Sister, what are you talking about with your father?"

Knowing that He Lanxi was asking her about her feelings, He Yan smiled and held her hands, her face full of joy.

"It's okay to tell my sister. I just told my father that I was just going through the motions of entering the palace. I will let the people in the palace cut me off. In this way, I can go back to the house and live a free life." It's time!"

Seeing that she was as happy as a child, He Lanxi shook her head helplessly, but felt a lot more relaxed in her heart.

"You are still so frizzy at an age, no wonder grandma wants you to learn the rules from Mama Wang."

"Oh, I'm happy!"

Seeing He Yan's happy appearance, He Lanxi looked at her seriously, and asked tentatively: "You really don't want to enter the palace at all? How big does it have to be to enter the palace and become the emperor's woman?" Glory is what every woman wants."

"They are them, I am me." He Yan didn't take those things to heart at all, and walked to the flower garden with a smile, looking into the distance, "What's wrong with the emperor's women? Think about it, once you enter the palace, you will live forever." They will all be locked in high strength, unable to see the outside world."

"This mountain, this water, I will never see them again, let alone go out to buy things. How much less fun will be lost, and there will be intrigues. I can't live through that kind of life."

Turning around and looking at He Lanxi with a smile on her face, "It's better to be at home, I can go wherever I want, and I can have long talks with my grandmother, and I don't have to follow so many rules."

Looking at the smile on He Yan's face, He Lanxi smiled, with a lot of envy in her eyes.

"My sister is still open-minded. However, if the two of us enter the palace to participate in the election, no matter what, one of us must stay." The position in the harem is not what one person wishes for. Someone needs to support it in the harem, otherwise, it will be manipulated arbitrarily in the future."

He Yan naturally thought about this question, and walked over to lean on He Lanxi's shoulder.

"Isn't there still you, sister? I am a concubine, so I am not favored by my status, and I grew up in the countryside since I was young. Don't worry, sister. You are known as a talented woman, and you have such a beautiful face. You Definitely can stay!"

He Lanxi is gentle and dignified. If she is not selected, then He Yan really can't imagine what kind of person can stay in the harem.

People like to praise, and He Yan's words hit her heart. He Lanxi couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, and poked her forehead coquettishly with her fingers, "No wonder grandma said you are sweet, my sister is really good at talking."

As she said that, He Yan raised her chin proudly, "There is no way, who will let my sister be as beautiful as a flower, and you have learned a lot of money!"
