He turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the guard behind him, with a confident smile on his face: "I haven't seen you for a long time, you seem to be a little taller."
She looked back at him with a trace of ridicule in the corner of her mouth: "We haven't seen you for a long time, your heart seems to be colder."
"Isn't it appropriate to feel cold when you are in the cold mountains and ice?" His thin lips curled up slightly, revealing an extremely charming smile: "If you are willing, my heart -"
Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Qiu immediately cut off his words and said directly: "I don't want to."
His smile grew wider: "You refuse before I finish speaking?"
"No matter what you say, I don't want to, so why bother to listen anymore?" She turned her head and looked at the layers of palaces and buildings spreading in the distance. A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were insightful into people's hearts. Sharp: "It's really a good place. No wonder His Highness Prince Liang will do whatever it takes to get it."
Zhu Sheng didn't take it seriously at all. Her ridicule and sharp words had no real impact on him, because he was such a person.
He can give up everything, including family ties, for the sake of power and position.
He is such a person, isn't Zhu Yan? Didn't he also choose to abandon her, otherwise, how could she fall into his hands? How is Zhu Yan better than him
"I am such a person, so why not Zhu Yan? If he valued love and righteousness, how could you be here now?" Zhu Sheng sneered.
Yuan Qiu shook his head and looked up at a white cloud on the horizon. It was so holy and lofty, just like his Zhu Yan, while the Zhu Sheng in front of him was like a pile of mud on a rainy night. There was no comparison between the two.
"You are wrong. You should not compare yourself with him because you are not worthy."
Zhu Sheng's face finally changed, from sunny at first to gloomy.
"One day, you will know that all the sons of the Tian family are cold by nature, including me and Zhu Yan!" His eyes were firm and he firmly believed what he said.
Yuan Qiu didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he just said quietly: "I want to see the emperor."
Zhu Sheng chuckled, his eyes overflowing with light. Looking at her stubborn little face, his hard and cold heart felt a little soft.
"Since you have entered the palace, the Emperor will naturally see you, but not now."
She looked at him sideways, but he had already turned around, and she only heard him calmly give instructions to the people around him: "Please go to Cuiyun Palace, Miss Zhuo Er, and take good care of her." The guard took the order, went straight to Xia Yuanqiu, and said to her: " Please, second lady.”
Xia Yuanqiu looked at Zhu Sheng who was gradually walking away, and said coldly: "My name is Xia Yuanqiu, please call me Miss Xia."
The guard had no expression on his face, as if he had not heard what she said, but still maintained his original polite attitude.
Xia Yuanqiu did not expect that in this harem, she would meet Zhuo Qinlan, a girl who hated her to the core.
Zhuo Qinlan was beautifully dressed, wearing the most gorgeous and solemn palace attire, and a full set of heavy, exquisite and rich jewelry. Anyone who didn't know who bumped into her would definitely mistakenly think that the queen was coming.
Obviously Zhuo Qinlan was also surprised to see Xia Yuanqiu in the harem.
Zhuo Qinlan glanced at the guards following Xia Yuanqiu, frowned and said, "Why are you here? What are you doing here?"
Xia Yuanqiu looked her up and down, curled up his lips slightly, and said with a trace of ridicule: "Of course it is different from your purpose."
Zhuo Qinlan's face suddenly turned red. Everyone knew her purpose, but it didn't feel good to say it to her face.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't think I don't know. Seeing that King Liang is so powerful now, you are trying to seduce King Liang again, hoping to climb a high branch and become a phoenix."
