Harem: Luo Chen's Resentment

Luo Chen looked at the child who was sleeping soundly on the bed, revealing a satisfied smile, she lightly tucked himself in, and quietly walked out. In the blink of an eye, she saw Qin Muyun seated on the chair, and could only bow. Qin Muyun did not think that he would accept her bow either and waved his hand to allow Luo Chen to get up.

After that, the two of them did not speak and just continued doing their own things. Qin Muyun's eyes could not help but follow Luo Chen's busy figure as she walked. Seeing that she was not talking to him at all, he could not help but take a deep breath, and finally opened her mouth. "Empress, we have yet to have dinner."

Luo Chen's embroidery hands froze, she could hear the coquettish tone in it, and raised her head to look, seeing that Qin Muyun was still immersed in reading. She only let herself be confused just now. She stood up and ordered someone to call for dinner, but she didn't use it either. Originally, she wanted to use it after Yang Er woke up. But who knew that Qin Muyun was hungry?

Qin Muyun and Luo Chen would eat dinner together, the two of them followed the rule of not saying anything, and for a time, the only sound left in the hall was the clatter of chopsticks and bowls.

"Wa ~ ~" The sound of a child's wail could be heard. Luo Chen hurriedly put down her chopsticks and ran towards the inner hall.

"Yang Er, be good, don't cry ah …" Luo Chen took the child from Qin Er's hands and began to coax him in a low voice.

The little prince's big, wet eyes tightly locked onto Luo Chen, as she called out to her from time to time. Luo Chen's heart ached. She thought about how much more miserable she must have cried if she could not stay by her child's side with him!

The wet nurse standing at the side was shocked. When had the little prince ever cried when he woke up, let alone in such a miserable state! Was it because he was with his mother?

Qin Muyun walked in along with his, and glanced at his wet nurse, who instantly understood what the emperor meant, "Empress, the little prince is hungry, let this servant bring him out for a meal!" The children of the imperial family would normally be weaned before a year of age, and as the eldest son, Yang Er was two months earlier.

Luo Chen was unwilling to let it go, but the wet nurse still carried the child away while she could only watch on helplessly. Seeing Luo Chen being so pained, Qin Muyun pretended to be indifferent, and said casually: "Child, you are always crying, you will be fine after a while."

After Luo Chen heard these words, her heart fiercely shook. She stared at the ground and endured her discontent as she said softly, "Your majesty, have you finished eating? If you are done, please rest early. The sisters of the harem are waiting for you. "

The veins on Qin Muyun's forehead bulged, and he abruptly stepped forward to lift her face up, as he said fiercely, "Empress, please tell us, are these words of yours from the bottom of your heart?" His heart trembled in pain. He had already stayed here to eat, so what else could it mean? She actually wanted to push him out? Did she not like him at all? They even have children!

Luo Chen looked into the furious eyes in front of him, without the slightest trace of fear, and said word by word, "What chenqie said was the truth."

Qin Muyun suddenly did not dare look straight at her, her eyes were filled with disgust, which deeply pierced his heart, and the hand that was grabbing onto his cheek drooped down, as he walked out awkwardly.

Seeing his figure that hastily left, Luo Chen powerlessly laid on the bed. His empty eyes stared at the top of his head, his mind filled with the words of the empress dowager. He was an emperor, he originally had this sort of duty …

The light of dawn quickly arrived, and the woman lying on the bed suddenly opened her eyes. She tightly clutched her chest, her pale face covered in cold sweat, and she dreamt that she was trapped in a dark room, unable to see Yang Er. There was nothing there … Luo Chen took a few deep breaths and suppressed the terrifying nightmare. She kept comforting herself that it was only a dream.

Luo Chen simply ate a few mouthfuls of porridge as the concubine s of the palace came one after another to greet him. The first to arrive was the imperial concubine Yao. She didn't say much as she invited An Ran to take a seat and have a cup of tea.

Slowly, everyone had gathered in one spot. Luo Chen took a quick look at the location of the Gongzi. In the Gongzi, her father was a scholar, the Principal of the Clear Wind Academy, and she was very famous amongst the scholars. Besides, the Empress Dowager admires the Confucianism.

"Empress, you've worked so hard to pray for our country, how could anyone dare not pay respects? This kind of person should be punished," Li Yuan stood out and said in pity for Luo Chen.

Luo Chen lightly pressed her forehead, she knew that once she returned to the palace, she would have to face such a thing. She smiled at Li Yuan, but did not continue her words. Li Yuan laughed awkwardly and sat down unwillingly. She was saying these kinds of words to provoke the Queen to deal with the Gongzi. Who told the emperor to be so fond of this woman? He fiercely pinched the handkerchief, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. Gongzi, if the empress doesn't act, someone will take care of you!

"Chenqie pays respects to the empress. Please forgive me, chenqie came late," a melodious voice sounded.

Luo Chen raised her head to look at her. She was dressed in an emerald green jacket, which didn't look ordinary on her. With skin as fair as snow, eyes as clear as water, while looking around, she had a refined and elegant air to her. Luo Chen also did not hurry to sigh, as she was extremely beautiful. No wonder someone was in a hurry to get her to act against this woman.

"We are all sisters of our own, how can there be so many rules? Sister, please take a seat," Luo Chen showed a magnanimous smile and stood up to help the Gongzi sit down. This angered the people in the hall to the point that they were all jealous of Gongzi.

Luo Chen noted the situation in the hall and the corners of her mouth raised up. What she wanted was this effect. It would be best to let these people probe what kind of people Gongzi was. If her character was not bad, she would definitely protect her and give birth to a prince. Thinking about that, Luo Chen suddenly laughed at herself, human life was already so worthless in her eyes, but for her own child, she would accept it!

"Empress Dowager, you treat little sister Jie so well that even chenqie is jealous," Hai Qianlan said in a timely manner, causing the people in the hall to giggle. They all knew that imperial concubine Yan followed the Empress's lead. Even the imperial concubine Yan was helping the Gongzi get out of trouble, wasn't this exactly what the empress meant?

"That's right, seeing the empress treating Gongzi like that, chenqie thinks of how she treated those unscrupulous dogs in the past. She treated her like a real sister and ended up getting bitten instead." The imperial concubine Yao said fiercely as she stared at Li Yuan.

The atmosphere in the hall became weird once again. The imperial concubine was not talking about the Empress Zhao Yi. As a result, no one dared to take over imperial concubine Yao's words. All of them held their breath, and waited patiently for the situation to develop.

Li Yuan's currently laughing face suddenly stiffened, and without holding back, she replied. "Imperial Concubine is really joking."
