Chapter Forty-Six: Unwilling to Be the King's Concubine
ehind the several people, couldn't help shivering. His gaze towards Qin Luo Yan gradually underwent a deeper change. This woman who could stand with Fu Zi Mo, wasn't an ordinary person after all.From...Everyone else had dispersed, but Yin Qi remained, still holding onto Qin Luo Yan's shoulders, seemingly oblivious to the ambiguous nature of his stance.
"My lord, will you please let me go" Qin Luoyan took a step back, maintaining a safe distance from him.
"Yin Qi sullenly put down his hand, a meaningful smile blooming on his face. 'Qin girl, you really don't recognize me after all this time' "
Qin Luoyan didn't speak, neither acknowledging nor denying knowing him.
Seeing her so indifferent, Yin Qi sighed and said, "Fine, you win. I know that hiding my identity when we first met was not what a gentleman should do, but please believe me, I did not intentionally deceive you. At the time, there were some unspeakable difficulties."
"Lord Yin, please don't be so humble. As the esteemed Left相, you naturally have important matters to attend to and would disguise yourself accordingly. This little one wouldn't dare complain in the slightest. Besides, Lord Yin just now came to my aid, and I am deeply grateful." Qin Luoyan spoke, bowing slightly.
Yin Qi raised his hand to stop her from bowing. "To be honest, it was you who did me a great favor, and this is nothing compared to that. By the way, how did Miss Qin come to be in Beijing"
Of course, he knew she had come to the capital with Fu Zimo, but for some reason, he couldn't help but ask that question. Perhaps he wanted to hear something from her mouth.
"I... I came to visit relatives. It's getting late, and I should head back." Qin Luoyan awkwardly lowered her head. She couldn't say she was someone's bed warmer, could she
"Oh…" Yin Qi's tone carried a hint of melancholy that he himself hadn't noticed.
Then Qin Luoyan bowed again, "Well, I'll take my leave. It was nice meeting you, Mr. Yin. Until next time."
"Goodbye." Yin Qi choked out the words, but when Qin Luo'yan gracefully turned away, he couldn't help but grab her arm.
Qin Luo'yan turned her head, looking at him with confusion, "Yin Da Ren, is there anything else"
Yin Qi was taken aback for a moment, and said: "Since we've met again by fate, I think we can be considered friends. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me for advice. Although I may not be able to solve them for you, having one more person to brainstorm with is always helpful."
For his sudden display of friendliness, Qin Luoyan was very surprised. In her eyes, Yin Qi's status was considered one of the most prominent among the aristocrats. She didn't believe he would just randomly befriend anyone.
"Miss Qin, don't think too much. It's easy to meet, but hard to keep. I'm just reminiscing about the friendship we forged over the flying snow and wine last time. I have absolutely no ill intentions towards you." Yin Qi couldn't help but explain her obvious vigilance, feeling helpless in his heart. If he were kind to anyone else, regardless of gender, they would all rush forward to please him. But this woman right before him remained unmoved, her face full of vigilance instead.
Qin Luoyan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Then thank you for your kindness, Lord Yin."
As the two were talking, the sound of galloping horses came from the end of the street. It turned out that Mu He had brought reinforcements.
At the head was Jinmu, leading dozens of guards from the Prince's Mansion. Seeing Qin Luoyan and Yin Qi standing together, he was taken aback for a moment before dismounting his horse and bowing to Yin Qi. "Lord Left Xiang!"
As Fu Zi Mo's personal guard, Jin Mu had been lucky enough to see Yin Qi a few times. This young left minister was truly someone that once you saw, you wouldn't easily forget.
Yin Qi responded with a nod, acknowledging Qin Luo Yan before turning to leave.
After Yin Qi walked away, Jin Mu asked Qin Luoyan, "Are you alright, miss"
"It's alright, thanks to Lord Zuo Xiang's timely rescue. He truly lives up to his title as the pillar of the court. Seeing such a forceful abduction of a woman, he immediately stepped forward." Qin Luoyan didn't mention her acquaintance with Yin Qi at all.
“Oh, it’s good that you’re alright, girl.” Kaneki had suspicion in his eyes, but he didn’t say anything. He simply gestured for her to get into the carriage behind him.
Qin Luoyan's first tourism trip to Fengqicheng ended abruptly. Seeing the wound on Mu He's face, she sighed.
When Qin Luoyan returned to Wuxuan Wangfu, it was already noon. She was concerned about Mu He's injury and prepared to accompany him to the private pharmacy in the mansion to get some medicine. However, just as they had walked two steps, someone came to summon her, saying that King Wuxuan was waiting for her in his study. Although she was puzzled, she still gave Mu He a few instructions before following the person to the study.
In general, the study rooms of wealthy families are not places where women are allowed to enter at will, let alone the Wuxuan Prince's Residence.
Therefore, the guide instructed Qin Luoyan to stand one zhang outside the study door and then went forward to knock on the study door.
After a while, Fu Zi Mo in black came out. He seemed to be dressed casually today. Upon seeing Qin Luoyan, he glanced at her slightly and said, "Sit with this King in the courtyard."
Qin Luoyan didn't speak, she just obediently followed behind him. The person leading the way knowingly stepped aside.
On the stone table in the courtyard, there was a teapot and some snacks. He sat on the bench and said, "Pour tea."
Qin Luoyan gracefully poured tea for him, but her heart was filled with discontent. He meant for her to stand and serve him while he sat and drank tea in the courtyard!
This damn sense of superiority!
"You seem dissatisfied" Fu Zimo asked faintly.
"No."
"If you want to sit across from this King and have tea, then serve this King well. If this King is pleased, perhaps I will let you become this King's consort. A consort in the royal palace is considered half a mistress, naturally you would then be served by others." He rarely spoke in such a long string of words all at once.
Qin Luo'yan couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth into a smile. Perhaps she had encountered too much injustice today, and her heart was already filled with anger. Seeing him act superior just made her even angrier.
"My Lord, I'll decline. I don't deserve such a fate. After all, I'm just a woman from a brothel. Please don't waste the Duke's silver on me. When I finish making the repeating crossbow, I will leave far away. A lowly servant like me should marry an ordinary peasant and live a hard life."
Qin Luoyan poured the tea and stood aside without saying a word.
Fu Zi Mo held the teacup, his gaze falling on her cheek. His brows furrowed slightly. This woman, so eager to leave After becoming his woman, she still thought about marrying someone else
The teacup was crushed in his grasp, and he reached out to pull her into his arms, "Who gave you the guts to speak to this king like that"
“Your Highness, have I said something wrong As a lowly slave, how could I possibly be worthy of being your concubine” She snorted coldly. Don't even mention being a concubine, even if she were offered the title of princess, if she had to live her life in this patriarchal world, she would rather never marry!
Fu Zimuo pressed her down onto his lap. The sunlight cast a hazy glow between them, and his fingers traced the line of her lips, "If you won't be my concubine, then do you want to be Yin Qi's wife Are you worthy"
