Xu Ruyun was so scared by his question that she kneeled down immediately, “I…I just wanted to take a walk with the Empress Dowager to Yangxin Hall, and I never tried to hurt Concubine Xian. Please trust me, Your Majesty!”
Ye Shengxuan glanced at her sophisticatedly and said, “That’s good. You know that I lifted your grounding ban for the sake of your father. And I’m sure it won’t be just a grounding ban next time if you still have no sense of regret.”
Xu Ruyun was trembling with fear and she dared not to say much.
Ye Shengxuan felt very annoyed just seeing her, so he waved at her impatiently, “Alright, just leave.”
“I’m leaving now, Your Majesty.”
After Xu Ruyun had left, Ye Shengxuan finally shifted his focus on Helian Chacha. Seeing that she was still shaking because of the huge pain, he felt as if his heart was wrenched, “Come here, let me check your wound.”
She unconsciously stepped back a bit and evaded Ye Shengxuan’s hand.
When she realized what she had just done, Ye Shengxuan was already looking her right into the eyes, so she explained immediately, “Your Majesty, it is not what you think, I was just…”
Before she could finish the sentence, Ye Shengxuan spoke up, “I know, you are still not used to me. It’s alright. I can wait.”
Helian Chacha’s lip corner twitched a bit as she thought maybe this man had misunderstood something.
But she also felt it might be a good thing that he still thought she had not got used to him. Right now she was almost living amidst enemies, and it would be really hard to survive in this harem without his protection. Also, she could use this excuse to avoid some unnecessary intimacy with him.
Thinking of that, she looked up at Ye Shengxuan secretly and found he was staring at her with his bright eyes.
She felt a bit embarrassed, so she looked down and didn’t speak for a long while, “Well…Your Majesty, I have a question but I’m not sure if I should ask you about it.”
“Just go ahead.”
“Why do you want me to be your concubine?”
That was really a good question. Ye Shengxuan was shocked for a second, but he soon got his answer and said with a poker face, “Because I am happy to do so.”
“…”
These simple words answered all the following questions from Helian Chacha. But after all, for someone like Ye Shengxuan who was born to be cold and emotionless, it was barely possible to make a long love confession.
And if he did say something romantic, she would suspect that the man in front of her might be a imposter.
After a while of silence between the two, Helian Chacha thought of another thing, “Your Majesty, when can I move out?”
Yangxin Hall was indeed a nice place, but as long as she lived here, those concubines would try their best to kick her out. So, instead of defending herself, she decided to attack back.
She had remembered all of those who came to Yangxin Hall today to start the war. The day that she got fully recovered would be the day of suffering for them.
“Why do you want to move out? You don’t like living here?” Hearing that she wanted to move out, Ye Shengxuan frowned immediately, “Or, you’ve changed your mind after hearing what Mother said to you?”
Helian Chacha explained to him immediately, “Her Highness did make her point. Besides, Yangxin Hall is your bedroom, and only the Empress is allowed to sleep in the bedroom of the Emperor. I am just a concubine and I have been living here for more than half a month. In the past I could say I was wounded, but now I will be criticized if I still don’t move out after my recovery.”
Hearing that, Ye Shengxuan became really angry, “I’ll cut off his tongue if there is anyone who says that!”
Looking at his reaction, Helian Chacha just felt so funny, so she explained immediately, “No one, no one says that. It’s just… I ’don't feel comfortable staying here.”
She would like to live here forever, but she really didn’t know how to cope with those women in the harem.
When they rushed toward her in a group, they didn’t even need to do anything big because they could easily nail her down with their saliva.
Seeing that she was quite serious, Ye Shengxuan asked with hesitation, “You sure you want to move out?”
She nodded with determination.
Ye Shengxuan sighed helplessly as he started to comb her hair gently, “Since you insist, I will let them clean the Yonghe Palace later. It is not very far, so after moving out, you can easily go back whenever you want.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
So, after her painstaking persuasion, Ye Shengxuan finally let her leave Yangxin Hall. Before her departure, Ye Shengxuan also granted Bohe to her as her palace maid.
The two of them walked all the way to Yonghe Palace. All those people along the way were looking at her, either curiously, jealously, or full of hatred.
But Helian Chacha didn’t care about them at all because she believed that if people paid attention to you, it meant you were really outstanding. As long as they didn’t do anything that harmed her interests, she could just ignore them.
When they arrived at the gate of Yonghe Palace, she was planning to go inside to have a nice sleep. But when they opened the door of the main hall, they saw 10 people standing inside, including 6 palace maids, 2 eunuchs, and 2 guardians.
They all kneeled down when they saw her, “Good day, Your Highness.”
For so many days after the transmigration, she had been kneeling down to others, so it was the first time that people kneeled down to her.
She was unconsciously shocked, “What are you…”
The palace maid in the front looked up and replied, “Your Highness, from now on, we belong to Yonghe Palace. If you need anything, just ask us.”
Within just a few minutes, she now owned an entire palace and an affluent life, plus more than 10 servants.
It was so nice to be a concubine!
As soon as she recognized all of those servants, Bohe came in quickly with a senior palace maid.
With just one glimpse, she recognized that palace maid. It was Lian’er.
Lian’er was holding a small bowl with a lid on it as she walked quickly to Helian Chacha and bowed to her slightly, “Good day, Your Highness.”
“Just get up.” Helian Chacha glanced at her casually and asked, “Lian’er? How am I supposed to welcome your gracious presence in my poor room?”
After all, she served by Xu Ruyun’s side, so she didn’t fear at all when talking to Helian Chacha face to face. She just smiled slightly, “You must be joking, Your Highness. Your Yonghe Palace locates in the best place in the entire harem, so it can never be a poor room. Besides, I am just a palace maid, who am I to own a gracious presence? I come here today because Her Highness told me to serve you Babao porridge as the present to your moving in. Just as a good wish.”
As of speaking, she gave Bohe the bowl she was holding.
“Alright, since I have delivered the porridge, I won’t be here to disturb you. Have a good rest, Your Highness. I am leaving now.” She then left proudly.
Helian Chacha staring at the bowl and fell into thoughts, “Bohe, go find me a rabbit.”
Bohe nodded and left the room immediately.
Later, Bohe came back in quick steps while holding a roast rabbit, “Your Highness, here is your rabbit. Better eat it when it’s still warm.”
“…” Helian Chacha’s lip corner twitched a bit, “I mean a living rabbit!”
“Ah, okay.”
Bohe left the roast rabbit and ran to the outside again.
Helian Chacha patted her forehead and shook her head.
After a long while, Bohe came back with a cage. This time it was a living rabbit.
Helian Chacha took it immediately and put some Babao porridge in the cage carefully. The rabbit wasn’t picky, so it finished almost half of the Babao porridge in a short time.
However, strangely, the rabbit was totally fine.
Did she just misunderstand Xu Ruyun? Helian Chacha thought so while looking at the lively rabbit in the cage.
She had thought it might be a typical evil plot in the harem, but she didn’t expect that Xu Ruyun would really behave herself after being scolded by Ye Shengxuan for a few times.
Somehow Helian Chacha felt a bit upset.
After that, she didn’t care about that rabbit and started to explore the structure of Yonghe Palace.
In the evening, Bohe suddenly barged in from the outside in a hurry, “Your Highness, emergency! That rabbit is dead!”
Xu Ruyun was so scared by his question that she kneeled down immediately, “I…I just wanted to take a walk with the Empress Dowager to Yangxin Hall, and I never tried to hurt Concubine Xian. Please trust me, Your Majesty!”
Ye Shengxuan glanced at her sophisticatedly and said, “That’s good. You know that I lifted your grounding ban for the sake of your father. And I’m sure it won’t be just a grounding ban next time if you still have no sense of regret.”
