My wife kills me because she has me in her heart!

Chapter 13 Rejection of Marriage
  Concubine Yao's flower banquet will be in three days.

At the gate of the palace, Yan Conngling removed the long sword from his back. But the guard at the gate still carefully brought a black dog, circled her three times, and sniffed her three times.

Swords and weapons are prohibited in the palace.

But compared to this, what the Holy Emperor is most afraid of today is demons.

I don’t know if I listened to the words of those warlocks, but the reason is that I have taken too many pills in the past two years, and I often dream about monsters.

But the Demon Suppressing Department has come several times, even the Demon Suppressing Chess has been brought in, but there has been no response.

"We're here, Miss Yan."

The leading maid bowed her body and stepped back cautiously.

From a distance, you can see several figures in the palace, with their clothes and temples floating.

Concubine Yao, who is wearing heavy makeup and is sitting in the top position, is in her prime, with tassels hanging from her temples, adding to her charm.

"I have met the imperial concubine."

Yan Conling stepped forward and bowed, then greeted several princes and ladies beside him.

There are many dignitaries in the imperial capital, but there are not many young ladies here today. It is obvious that the drunkard is not interested in drinking.

She glanced over briefly and found that they were all young girls of marriageable age.

I suddenly had a clue in my mind.

"Come here, give Miss Yan a seat."

These days, there are generally only two ways to become a noble concubine. One is from a prominent family background or is favored by the emperor, and the other is to have a prince by his side to complete the equation.

Concubine Yao prefers the latter, while the current queen and former concubine are the former.

Yan Conngling was not interested in the old emperor's intimate affairs, but he could also hear some rumors about Concubine Yao's arrogance.

Therefore, her current politeness is even more frightening.

"If I remember correctly, Miss Yan is eighteen years old, right?"

Concubine Yao's eyes fell on her plain clothes, which were incompatible with those of other noble ladies. There was also a difference between her and her hands, which were calloused by sword practice.

"If I tell you, it's eighteen."

Yan Congling could feel the glances from the ladies behind her, which were more out of curiosity than envy at being favored by Concubine Yao.

How can a prince or prince be as interesting as standing in front of a living person in a book?

"It just so happens that my Zhang'er has already reached the age of starting a family."

Concubine Yao was straightforward and seemed to be quite eager to get straight to the point, "I asked someone to do a fortune telling a few days ago, and it was said that Miss Yan and my Zhang'er are a match made in heaven, and the horoscopes couldn't be more suitable."

"Hua Yanzhang'er is here today."

She pointed at her son.

A young man in a blue shirt stood up from his seat and greeted her uncomfortably.

"Miss Yan."

Unlike Ning Fengli, who was pale and feminine, Ning Mozhang was gentler and approachable.

But at this moment, his eyes were evasive, and he saw that he was the mandarin duck whose neck was strangled.

Yan Conngling can understand.

After all, not everyone likes women who appear outside every day. Moreover, the demon catcher is wandering among the dead.

Ominous.

Concubine Yao didn't look at her son at all, she just smiled and said to Yan Conling, "When I met Miss Yan the year before last, I liked her from the bottom of my heart. I was wondering why I didn't have such a daughter who could stay here. Be happy to be around!”

Yan Conngling thought about it.

The old locust tree in the Yao family's backyard suddenly became infected with a yin energy for some unknown reason, and many servants were hanged to death. The Yao family was so frightened that the elderly Mr. Yao couldn't even breathe and almost drove away from Hexi.

In the end, she took the ax herself and chopped down the old locust tree. He chopped it into firewood and burned it, and then the matter was settled.

"The empress' blue eyes are a blessing from the spirit."

The girl has a sweet mouth and her words are like the spring breeze.

The smile on Concubine Yao's face became even bigger, and she hurriedly hit the rails while the iron was hot, "In that case, what do you think of Zhang'er? When you become Zhang'er's concubine, you can come to the palace every day to talk to me."

She specifically emphasized the concubine.

She still has confidence in her son. Ning Mozhang was talented, handsome, of noble birth, and had a mild temper among the princes.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is close to the throne... so there are still a lot of noble ladies from aristocratic families rushing to get closer.

"Your Majesty has extraordinary appearance and graceful demeanor..." Yan Congling still had a smile on his face and his words were soft and pleasant, but the next moment he refused without hesitation, "But Congling cannot agree."

Before long, Concubine Yao's smile froze on her face.

She added, "The noble concubine should not have refused her kind offer, but it's a pity that Cong Ling has already been engaged. And after taking people back to Yunshan to meet Master and Uncle in a few days, they will officially get married."

Such a coincidence?
  Concubine Yao didn't believe it.

In order to arrest people accurately this time, she had done some research and checking locations in advance.

It turned out that Yan Congming had a life of hard work and could just forget about running around on weekdays. Every time Mu Xiu would go to patrol the city and never go home!

Such people suddenly say that they want to start a family.

Everyone has doubts.

Yan Conling naturally knew this, "If the empress doesn't believe in Conngling, you can send someone to call him. He is at home now. But he has a bad temper. It's best to make it clear to him that I am here to find him." of."

Lou Qixue's demonic aura is pure, and he is not the kind of demon who practices evil ways.

But rabbits can bite people when they are anxious, let alone foxes?

These people in the palace are used to being pampered and have high self-esteem. It is hard to guarantee that there will be any offense in their words...

Concubine Yao raised her hand.

The confidant aunt retreated.

The hall was quiet for a while, and only the sound of tea being poured and served could be heard.

Yan Conling was not embarrassed. Her good professionalism prevented her from paying attention to the subtle atmosphere. Instead, she paid more attention to the princes and ladies around her... her eyes passed over them imperceptibly.

Just as he was about to take it back, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the blood-red beads on the wrist of the lady sitting on his left out of the corner of his eye.

Those beads should look like garnets, and they are polished round and even, very beautiful. When the light shines through, you can still see the exquisitely carved Bodhisattva with closed eyes above.

She stared at it for a long time.

The lady had also been paying attention to her for a long time. She had been unable to talk to her before, but now she finally had the chance to speak.

"Miss Yan...are you looking at this?"

The girl was about the same age as her, with a pair of round eyes, and she came closer with hidden excitement.

Yan Conngling smiled and nodded, "My lady has fair skin, and the red color goes well with her."

The conversation between the girls always started very quickly. Once she said something like this, the other party suddenly became less nervous and started chatting with her.

"I have been suffering from a cough. My mother went to the temple to ask for it for me a few months ago. But surprisingly, it did get better and better after I put it on, and I don't cough much anymore."

The famous temples in the Imperial Capital can all be counted on one hand.

This lady from Shangshu Mansion is probably lucky. Her mother probably met some reclusive eminent monk, which is why she got such a string.

Before I could ask further questions, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the palace...
