Volume 1: The Human World: Phoenix Rising in Fire Chapter 174: Becoming a Concubine (1)
"The Queen summoned me just now and I went in and talked to her for a while." Hua Xi said truthfully.
Long Qianyue picked up a black piece, and his movements paused slightly when he heard the words, and his handsome brows frowned.
"Why did the Queen summon you?"
"Maybe it was because of my second sister's marriage to Jiang Shijie, but she said she got along well with me, so she asked me to stay and talk for a few more words, and even gave me some lotus dew to drink."
Hua Xi smiled with an innocent look on her face.
"Did you drink what she gave you?" Long Qianyue grabbed her hand and asked nervously.
Hua Xi was startled, and looked at his nervous face, his sincere eyes, and his hand holding hers...
"What's wrong, Your Highness? I didn't drink."
After hearing her say that she didn't drink, Long Qianyue's expression slowly relaxed, "It's good that you didn't drink."
Hua Xi looked down and stared at his hands.
Long Qianyue noticed and immediately retracted her hand. Her dark eyes turned slightly, her eyelashes trembled, and she said with some guilt: "Sorry, I was too excited."
"Your Highness, do you care about me?" Hua Xi asked directly, without any girlish reserve.
After hearing this, Yan Xun turned around and looked at her. This Third Miss Mo really has no shame!
How could a woman ask a man like this?
Their prince is an honest man, she is obviously teasing him!
Long Qianyue looked a little unnatural, and turned her eyes to the side, saying gently: "The queen would not be kind to people for no reason. She... ...My mother drank the lotus dew she gave her, and she went insane and died."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have reminded you of these things." Hua Xi said quickly, feeling guilty. He should have known not to say these to him earlier.
The seventh prince's mother was born in a humble family, but she was very beautiful, and the emperor favored her very much.
It’s a pity that with such a birth and no one to rely on, how could she gain a foothold in the harem?
She died not long after giving birth to the seventh prince. I heard that she died tragically...
"It's over." Long Qianyue shook his head slightly, but there was an irresistible pain and misery in his eyes, "My father and the ministers all knew about this, but they all pretended not to know..."
"Your Highness, don't think about what has passed." Hua Xi said sincerely.
She was also always troubled by the past, but later she realized that the past could never be undone, and even if she died in pain, it would be of no avail.
So she chose to forget.
Long Qianyue looked at her, his eyes blurred for a moment, and murmured, "Why? Why can they always step on me?"
Hua Xi was stunned. At this moment, Long Qianyue no longer had that gentle aura and just asked her like a child.
But she...she doesn't understand either!
Some people and some destinies are incomprehensible from the very beginning!
"Your Highness!" Yan Xun turned around and saw Long Qianyue, who was out of control , and hurried over to hug his hands from behind, "You are in a bad mood, you should go back and take medicine."
Long Qianyue turned back in a daze, looked at Yan Xun, then at Hua Xi, with a flickering light in his eyes, sometimes warm, sometimes silent, very complicated.
"Don't eat anything she gives you." After he said this to Hua Xi, he was helped away by Yan Xun.
Hua Xi sat alone in the pavilion in a daze, thinking for a long time, with Long Qianyue's painful look all he could think of in his mind.
What kind of things did he
"Third sister, why are you here?" Mo Qianyu's voice sounded from behind, very enthusiastic.
