C254 Fighting in the Harem
It was almost the same.
Lee Wanning began to feel curious, how did Ann Hua distinguish between the two faces?
Moreover, they were clearly two identical faces, so why did he have such a soft spot for Consort Wan?
Just as Lee Wanning was thinking this, Consort Lan had already sat down beside her.
"Are you all right, sister?"
Lee Wanning shook her head and said, "It's fine."
Consort Lan smiled wryly and said, "In the past few days, the Emperor wasn't even willing to have people come to see you. Consort Lan smiled bitterly and said," In the next few days, the Emperor wasn't even willing to have people come to see you.
Lee Wanning nodded. "I'm fine. Elder sister, you don't have to worry."
Only then did Consort Lan smile.
Although her face showed that she was trying hard to control her emotions, Lee Wanning could still see the bitterness between her eyebrows.
Lee Wanning suddenly remembered what Consort Wan had told her earlier.
She had to stop this year's events and break the history of this place. Then, Zhou Qu would still be fine after a dozen years.
Even if, he would forget himself.
Just as Lee Wanning was thinking this, Consort Lan suddenly spoke up, "Oh right, Brother Jun has been sending someone to bring you some gadgets these past two days. Do you want to take a look?"
Lee Wanning turned her head to see that Consort Lan had already taken out the item in her hand. It was a red silk bag.
Lee Wanning's eyebrows jumped up.
"When I was young, you always told me that you wanted to see the vast amounts of yellow sand." When I was young, you always told me that you wanted to see the vast amounts of yellow sand.
Lee Wanning's hands shook.
After looking at Consort Lan for a long time, he slowly extended his hand to receive her.
The brocade sack was sealed, but Lee Wanning felt that it might be a troublesome object.
Even though she was thinking like this, Lee Wanning still calmly took it from him and said, "Brother Jun, you're really considerate."
"That's true. Ever since I was young, Big Brother Jun has always been very considerate towards you. No matter what you want, he will always satisfy you."
Lee Wanning could hear Consort Lan's insinuating tone, but her expression remained unchanged. She only said, "We grew up together with Brother Jun, and he treats us the same."
Consort Lan's eyes looked at her and said, "That's true. The Emperor said just now that he would not disturb you if I let you take a good rest."
Lee Wanning nodded with a smile.
After seeing Consort Lan walk out, Lee Wanning immediately opened the embroidered bag.
There was indeed a piece of paper inside.
Above it was a letter full of love, and below it was the name Jun Fei.
He should be Zhou Qu's father.
Regardless if the letter was real or fake, Lee Wanning directly tore it up and burned it under the candle flame.
While he was doing this, Ann Hua walked in.
Lee Wanning was looking at the yellow sand inside the silk bag. When Ann Hua saw it, his expression changed slightly. "This is …"
"Oh, General Jun dragged big sister here with him. When I was young, I had always wanted to go and have a look at Haohang's Yellow Sand. I didn't expect that General Jun would remember this and have someone bring it with him."
Lee Wanning didn't hide anything from him, because she knew that even if she lied, Ann Hua would find out. Instead of this, it would be better if she said it herself.
After hearing what she said, Ann Hua's face showed obvious displeasure. He said, "This General Jun is not at ease in war, why is it so useless?"
Lee Wanning's brows twitched as she said, "This is also someone's intentions. However, what I want to see is the sky filled with yellow sand. I don't know if I will have the chance to see it again …"
Just as Lee Wanning finished speaking, Ann Hua held her in his arms and said, "Don't worry, as long as we win this battle, I will bring you to see it!"
Lee Wanning smiled.
Although it was Lee Wanning's first time here, she was still familiar with a character like Consort Wan. However, she was still not used to Ann Hua's intimate actions.
She calmly pulled the distance between them further apart and said, "Alright, since the emperor says so, I'll keep it in mind."
Ann Hua smiled and was about to kiss her, but Lee Wanning pulled away.
She said, "Your majesty, I've just recovered from a serious illness. Your majesty's dragon body is more important, so it's best that you don't get too close to me."
Ann Hua immediately frowned. Just as he was about to say something, Lee Wanning said, "Oh yeah, I haven't been out for a few days. Can you accompany me for a walk, Your Majesty?"
Ann Hua naturally agreed.
Ann Hua didn't do anything to her after Lee Wanning's words. He was still considerate when it came to taking care of her.
Lee Wanning tried her best to appear calm, accepting Ann Hua's care with a smile. What she could see was the envious eyes around her.
According to what Ann Tan had told him before, when Consort Wan was beaten into the cold palace, only Consort Lan could speak up for him. Lee Wanning didn't know if it was because Consort Wan usually offended too many people or because there were too many people around.
In the evening, Ann Hua was also in Lee Wanning's bedroom.
Of course, he didn't do anything.
Lee Wanning heaved a sigh of relief inwardly, but she was still a little vexed.
She could still be used as an excuse for her initial recovery, but what about after a while?
She had to think of a foolproof plan that would not only prevent Ann Hua from doubting her, but also help him protect himself.
Although this body wasn't his, and he had already given Ann Hua a child, Lee Wanning still couldn't bear to have a child in her heart.
Two days passed like this.
Right now, the harem couldn't compare to Ann Tan's harem from before. Although Ann Hua liked Consort Wan, but the people in the harem were still increasing.
Just as Lee Wanning was about to be sick, she heard an invitation from a palace maid, saying that Empress had arranged a banquet in the pavilion for her to pass through.
Lee Wanning knew that such a banquet would be a Hongmen Banquet, but she still went.
Only by going there would she be able to understand the situation inside, and only then would she know the path she would take in the future.
Lee Wanning didn't dare to dress too arrogantly either. She was wearing a blue dress and had a simple stride on top of her head.
When Lee Wanning arrived, most of the people were already there.
Lee Wanning's eyes were filled with a myriad of emotions when she looked at her. The only thing that didn't change was jealousy.
Lee Wanning bowed to the empress.
The empress when she was young was very beautiful. She looked dignified and proper. When she looked at herself, she even had a smile plastered on her face.
However, Lee Wanning, who had seen the Empress's methods before, naturally knew that the person before her was a person who concealed a dagger within a smile.
She smiled and said, "Greetings to Empress."
The empress personally helped her up and said, "Sister Consort Wan has just recovered from a serious illness. It seems a little inappropriate for me to call you out just like that. Quickly get up. If anything happens to sister, the emperor will blame me."
The empress's voice was pleasant to hear, with a few hints of coquettishness in it. However, Lee Wanning could hear the resentment within it.
She only raised her eyes and looked at her before saying with a smile, "Empress is really serious. Actually, she's fine. She's almost healed after a few days of rest."
"That's good. Little Sister, take a seat!"
The inside of the pavilion was very spacious, but it was a bit crowded with dozens of people like this. Lee Wanning was the concubine and sat in the front.
Beside her were Consort Lan and Consort Hui.
Lee Wanning sat down.
Consort Lan smiled at her, and so did Lee Wanning. Her expression seemed to be one of joy, but it also made her feel as if cold sweat was pouring down her back.
"Actually, calling everyone here today is not a big deal. I just want to discuss the matter of the Emperor's birthday banquet in a few days."
Your Majesty's birthday?
For some reason, the first thing that came to Lee Wanning's mind was the long-planned white wolf at Ann Tan's birthday banquet.
If it wasn't for that … So, would it not happen?
"Sister Consort Wan?"
When Lee Wanning heard this voice, she raised her eyes as if she had just realized something.
Before the empress could open her mouth, Consort Hui had already snorted coldly and said, "Sister Consort Wan is really generous. How many times has Empress called you out before you could even reply?"
Lee Wanning looked at the Queen. Although she still had a smile on her face, that smile was a little forced.
Lee Wanning had no choice but to get up and say, "Empress, please forgive me. It was because I thought of something else that kept me from coming to my senses."
"Don't worry, Sister Consort Wan has just recovered from a serious illness. It's normal for my mind to be a little lacklustre. I just asked a moment ago because I wanted to know, what kind of gift did Little Sister Consort Wan prepare for the Emperor's birthday celebration? "
So he was here to find out what was going on.
Lee Wanning thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't think giving anything is important. Empress, think about it. The whole world belongs to the Emperor. Whatever he wants, he can naturally have." Thus, the only thing that we can send out right now is just our intentions. "
Lee Wanning's words caused everyone to be stunned for a moment. Before they could reply, they heard a voice from behind them.
"The words of my beloved concubine are courteous, it's not a waste that I, Fei Zhen, love you so much!"
Hearing this voice, the empress immediately led her men to kneel down. "Greetings, your majesty. Long live the Emperor! Long live and long live the Emperor!"
