Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1613 Lit a Candle



Chapter 1613 Lit a Candle

Nan Hua was keen on detecting other people’s gaze on her. Seeing the two women’s flash of jealousy, she was not surprised.

In the era where women’s position was low, it was hard for them to make a name for themselves. If they dared to act outrageously, they wouldn’t be accepted by the norm and ended up being ostracized.

Not to mention, to be able to survive well was also another question.

For women who were born in relatively better families, they wouldn’t need to worry about food, clothing, and place to stay. But for them to keep this kind of life, they would have to act in accordance to what those people wanted them to be.

Was it good or bad?

For ambitious people, this kind of life was very restricting and they might not be able to accept it.

For some others who just wished to live a good life, this was nothing more than a small price they had to pay for them to live well.

There were also those who were born in relatively ordinary family and could choose a person who cared for them. After all, harems were usually for those who had high position and those with lower position was not qualified.

But even then, there were those who were born of low position tried their best to climb up.

Nan Hua herself knew that it was impossible for her to be like that. Serving another person for her entire life and shaped herself to cater their preferences without knowing when she would be thrown away and forgotten….

It would be better to live for herself.

Though, it doesn’t mean she would live alone for her entire life.

Having someone who loved her and she loved back is still very good.

Nan Hua felt that her mind was going astray right now and focused on the two children in front of her, teaching them to warm up and stretch their muscles.

<Not long distance away, on the way to Imperial Palace Court>

Emperor Yang Zhou didn’t immediately head to the main hall after he had given his instruction to Nan Hua. Instead, he was slowing down his pace because he was tired after a long time reviewing many things that had to be done.

Prime Minister Xian had already finished the things that didn’t need his direct approval.

But there were still many others that required him to review in person.

Emperor Yang Zhou was very tired but there were many things that he had to do, which made him a bit irritable.

“Your Majesty, the court will start soon,” Prime Minister Lan reminded in a low voice.

“I know. You don’t have to repeat it to me.” Emperor Yang Zhou thought of the report from last night and then the member of the Xiao Family who came to him and felt another headache.

After marrying the Empress, it was clear that her family members would wish that she would have a son to strengthen her position. However, Empress Xiao didn’t have a child yet, which made the family rather anxious.

They wished he could spend more time with Empress Xiao.

“Your Majesty, General Xing is here.”

“He’s here?” Emperor Yang Zhou was stunned and watched as Long Qian Xing walked to him and greeted him politely in accordance to etiquette. He arched his eyebrows. “What brings you here today, General Xing?”

“Your Majesty, I heard that there are some reports in regards to the military. As a general, I had worry that I would be implicated, so I decided to participate in the morning court.” Long Qian Xing showed a smile.

Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Long Qian Xing and nearly sneered.

Knowing this man very well, he knew that Long Qian Xing wouldn’t come to participate in the morning court willingly. With how much Long Qian Xing hated the politicians, he wouldn’t come here if he didn’t have any ulterior motives.

As for motives…

Wasn’t he just find excuse to be able to find Jun Hua?

“In that case, you could come along for the morning court.” Emperor Yang Zhou flicked his sleeve and continued walking to the main hall.

As Long Qian Xing followed Emperor Yang Zhou, he noticed that several people seemed to be eager to meet with Emperor Yang Zhou. These officials were a bit too excited.

Prime Minister Lan looked at their gaze and wanted to roll his eyes.

“As His Majesty conquered Zhang Xu Kingdom, his position had basically settled down.” Prime Minister Lan was speaking in a low voice, which could be considered whispering, “They wished to be able to get close to him through one way or another.”

One way or another?

Why not be direct and said that they’re looking to find a way to enter his harem?

Long Qian Xing wanted to scoff when he saw the few people from Xiao Family also entered the court and shut his mouth.

He also knew the basic situation of the harem right now.

The few people who have children were all concubines and among them two have relatively powerful background, one was the favorite of the Emperor, and the last one was lucky or unlucky.

But the Empress herself didn’t have children yet.

It was obvious that the Xiao Family couldn’t really hold themselves back and wished that the Emperor would pay more attention to the Empress and didn’t forget her among so many beauties in the Imperial Palace.

“There will be a few more palaces built later.” Prime Minister Lan also felt headache when he saw these eager people.

Long Qian Xing looked at the group of people and silently moved away from their gaze. Because Nan Hua hadn’t recovered her identity, he was also targeted by some people for the position beside him.

However, as a person who had view of a different era… he couldn’t accept this era’s way of harem.

There could only be one person beside him.

At this moment, he silently lit a candle to Emperor Yang Zhou.
