"I also want to announce one thing..." Continue and keep letting everyone stand waiting curiously for what he wants to say.
"I'll take another concubine today."
Everyone looked surprised to hear that including his sister Nan Luoxia, it is not unusual for the king to take a new concubine but this is unusual when it is announced at an important palace event. This shows this woman is special of course to His Highness Nan Chen.
The humming sound in the concubine's line was like the sound of a bee. They clearly felt objection in each other's hearts but were not used to doing anything. One more increase in competition, the opportunity to touch the king may need years if less luck.
Empress Lin Fangyin did not budge, those eyes were as frozen as ice cubes. He did not know how to express himself, his heart ached but he had no right to speak of this matter.
Slowly empress Lin Fangyin raised the wine cup in her hand, momentarily looking at the king, that gaze was so nano despite her smile decorating her red lips, the sky knew her heart and face were opposite.
"Let's toast to the new noble concubine..." His voice was trembling but loud. Then without waiting any more at the sip of wine in the cup, when he looked up at the ceiling, a drop of this queen's tears fell. His heart ached not a bitch but his feelings died. She simply carried out her duties as empress and stripped off her own feelings in front of many people.
Everyone greeted with a roar, congratulating His Highness Nan Chen and of course also for Miss Huan, the beautiful dancer whom the king loved.
Miss Huan stood up immediately, however, her body was seen flickering in her luxurious dress and walked confidently to the center of the room while saluting the empress Lin Fangyin who was staring at her with a cold gaze in the presence of an envious look jealous of almost all the king's concubines. He drank the wine in his cup in front of Queen Lin Fangyin and Her Highness Nan Chen, as a form of gratitude for the empress' blessing.
The gaze of His Highness Nan Chen met with a woman standing behind his sister Nan Luoxia, for a moment it was obvious he was stunned to find Bai Yueyin looking so beautiful and graceful in her young purple robe, he was like a frozen rose of ice, returning the gaze of the king. It's like there's no soul in it.
"Sir Yuhuan, look brother Chen already has a new wife, big brother does not want to raise a concubine for you?" Nan Luoxia elbowed the arm of her brother who was sitting next to her.
Prince Yuhuan only smiled faintly as she did not reply, she knew his wife sitting next to him was waiting for his reaction.
"I don't need a concubine, sister." Answer's short. But those eyes hid a mysterious thing as they stared at the back of the woman who was bowing in front of Lin Fangyin. Her eyes did not blink following every movement of Miss Huan who was seen that grimace.
"Sister Chen really likes being greedy about women." Luoxia blabbed before drinking some more wine in her hand until it ran out.
"It is not good to say so sister, if His Majesty the king hears it..."
"He won't be angry, Brother Yuhuan. If he's angry then I'll disappear for two seasons, I'm sure he'll be too late to look for me." Nan Luoxia let out a small laugh but her eyes glanced at Bai Yueyin, then slowly her hands patted Yueyin's arms. He knew full well, Bai Yueyin's love story in the past and how her brother was heartbroken to Yueyin, unfortunately Yueyin completely refused to be one of the women who lined up in the queue of the king. And Yueyin was given to him the task of guarding Nan Luoxia instead without reason. So that the king could always see Bai Yueyin in the palace.
"How else have you convinced me that I have no place in your heart. Is it true that the thousand women you control are proof that you forgot me?" Bai Yueyin charged inwardly and threw away her gaze, right at Lin Hongse who was staring at them. His heart was beating slowly. He knew who Lin Hongse looked at for.
"Sister Yuhuan I have to go out for a while, let Yueyin keep this seat of mine. My stomach hurts so much." Suddenly Luoxia's face grimaced as His Eminence Nan Chen finished his speech. The sound of music began to be played, the celebration will really start with a party.
"Hey! Princess Sir!" Not yet Yueyin protested, Nan Luoxia had already come out by sneaking behind the musicians who entered the room and a group of dancers who began to move her body gurgling towards the middle of the hall.

Zhao Juren was usually the one who always planned everything beforehand in such detail, once he decided to do something. In all strategies on the battlefield, he is a reliable person because he will neither rush nor slow to make an overall plan of action. Zhao Juren was disinclined by his enemies and respected by his subordinates. What he planned after that step by step to carry it out in earnest, no matter what happens, it will not make him change his mind.
But now she was just gawking at herself with her circumstances that made her own little heart concerned. How not, without thinking long he had obeyed all Changyi's dimeh plans just for the sake of meeting Xue Xue, a girl who turned out to be the younger brother of the king from his own enemy country. At first she was not so sure and hoped, Xue Xue Xue was another woman at least was only the child of one of the commanders of the troops like Xiao Yi, who was the only child of one of them, wouldn't the end be this complicated if he had to put his heart on someone else once more?
"Geez!" Zhao Juren hit her own head while curled up on her bed while Changyi was seen so crowded with several off-duty servants in the Harem hall at the banquet tonight.
Changyi seemed to be so passionate about his role, telling a lot of nonsense and strangely the women just believed in the story. Zhao Juren secretly suspected that Changyi was used to disguise itself as anything.
"Do I have to get out of here right away? But I have to meet Xue Xue once again..." He played his clothes made of rough cotton for the maid.
"Ju'er.you almost disappeared one afternoon, Aunt Mei until she got mad at me." Changyi suddenly turned to him to interrupt his chatter with those gossip-hungry servants. Zhao Juren did not respond, she was busy with her own head. Recalling the face of Xue Xue who asked him to stay but her beautiful female bodyguard insisted on expelling him earlier.
"Does his bodyguard know who I am?" Zhao Juren was a little worried, Xue Xue Xue's bodyguards would thwart this disguise.
