Chapter 160
Zhao Yan's arrangement for Chen Jiao was to first send her to guard the imperial tomb and isolate her from the world, and then fabricate her the identity of the distant niece of the Duke's Mansion. When Chen Jiao lived in the Duke's Mansion for a while, Zhao Yan would issue an order to give a speech. At that time, Chen Jiao entered the palace as a beautiful girl and accepted his reward.
He is the emperor, and Chen Jiao is helpless by others. Since she is helpless, Chen Jiao doesn't want her parents to worry about her anymore.
Therefore, when explaining the reason to her mother, Qiao, Chen Jiao showed that she was willing to go to the palace to be a concubine for Zhao Yan.
Qiao thought of a possibility and asked worriedly: "Jiaojiao, are you and the emperor already..."
Chen Jiao lowered her head and agreed to her mother's guess.
Qiao was in a very complicated mood. What's the point of being a concubine? She would rather marry a group of women in the harem than marrying her daughter. However, now her daughter is the emperor's person, and her daughter likes the emperor very much. She can only accept it when she is a mother. In any case, her daughter does not have to be a widow for the late emperor or live in the imperial tomb. She is content.
"Is the emperor good to you?" After calming down, Qiao asked softly.
Chen Jiao smiled sweetly and nodded.
Qiao looked at her simple and stupid daughter. In order not to harm her daughter's mood, she could only choose good words.
After the mother and mother talked, Qiao went to tell her the story and the consequences to her husband.
The Duke Chen Yan sighed long, and his daughter was taken aback by two emperors one after another. She had a rough life and didn't know what would happen after entering the palace.
Although Chen Jiao returned to the Duke's Mansion in October, although she was worried, she was able to reunite with her family. Chen Jiao cherished this period of time especially.
Unfortunately, the more time goes by, the faster time passes.
New Year's Eve is approaching, and after the New Year's Day, the court officials ended their vacation and started to attend court to discuss matters again. The new year is new, and the young emperor who ascended the throne finally accepted the suggestions of his ministers and decided to give a speech. Any woman who is over 15 years old and under 18 years old is required to run for the election.
According to Chen Jiao's current identity, she is not considered a daughter of the Guan family, but as the niece of Duke Xian, her name was also registered by the eunuch in charge. Three days later, Chen Jiao said goodbye to her parents and went to the palace.
The yard of the beautiful girls in Chen Jiao alone has twenty beautiful noble girls in the capital, either plump or slender, and each has its own beauty. The harem of the new emperor is empty, so this talent show will definitely be filled with more beauties, so the girls are all full of expectations, like beautiful flowers in the garden, competing for beauty.
Chen Jiao watched indifferently, feeling that her heart had long been older than these little girls of similar age.
She had seven husbands who loved her. She was full of expectations for Zhao Yan, who reincarnated her husbands, and hoped that the two would have a new beginning. At that time, she was like these little girls, like a flower that had just bloomed. However, Zhao Yan only treated her as a pawn, and the so-called pampering was also to seduce Chen Wan into the trap. When she knew the truth, Chen Jiao's flower was defeated.
She was destined to be a little concubine in Zhao Yan's harem. Anyway, she couldn't escape the cage. Chen Jiao was as calm as water and was ready to grow flowers and plants every day without any dispute. Zhao Yan asked her to sleep, so she lay there and took it. Zhao Yan hugged and forgot her, so Chen Jiao stayed obediently in her yard. Anyway, he was not her husband, and Chen Jiao wouldn't care whoever he loved.
The girls received training for half a month. After half a month, a total of fifty beauties were taken to the Imperial Garden for the emperor to choose.
Chen Jiao is in the middle.
The eunuch in charge once Xuan and five beautiful girls went to meet the saint. Chen Jiao lowered her eyes and did not look forward, but she could hear it.
One of the first batch of girls was not kept, one of the second batch of girls was not kept, and all of the third batch of girls were not left.
There was a hint of commotion among the show girls who were still waiting in line to meet the Saint.
Chen Jiao also found it strange that she deals with the girls every day and knew that among the fifty girls who have left, there are impeccable family backgrounds, some with poor backgrounds but very beautiful appearance, and some with slightly ordinary appearance but prominent life background. Does Zhao Ying look down on none of them?
At this moment, five more beautiful girls were defeated.
Then, Chen Jiao heard the eunuch in charge and remember her current name, Chen Zhu...
Chen Jiao doesn't like this new name at all, but there is no way. Who made the "real her" stay in the imperial tomb at this time?
Chen Jiao lowered her head and walked forward with four other girls.
Standing still, Chen Jiao saw Zhao Wangming's yellow dragon robe hem, the dragon pattern was majestic, showing the emperor's style.
The two have not seen each other for almost a year.
Zhao Ying discovered at a glance that she had lost weight, but she didn't know if she was angry that she was ruthless and thin, or she was sad that she was not those shadows.
"What's your name?" Zhao Ying looked at Chen Jiao, and he spoke for the first time since the talent show began.
Chen Jiao looked up and saw Zhao Yan asking her, pretending to behave. She sneered in her heart, bowed with a blessed salute, and said respectfully: "Minister Chen Zhu is now staying at the uncle Xianguo Mansion."
Zhao Ying nodded and said lightly: "You can still see your eyes, stay."
It still catches your eye...
He was clearly teasing her publicly, and Chen Jiao suppressed her anger and stood aside.
The draft continued, but until the end, Zhao Wang did not leave anyone else.
Chen Jiao frowned unknowingly. What does he mean?
Eunuch Li looked at the forty-nine girls who were not selected outside and asked his master apologized: "Master, why don't you choose again?"
Zhao Yan said coldly: "No, my woman is better than having nothing."
Eunuch Li understood and stopped persuading him.
Chen Jiao looked at Zhao Yan, but Zhao Yan didn't look at her and ordered the envoy to the envoy: "Since I only like Duke Xian's niece, I will give her the title of queen and choose another auspicious day to get married."
Is this the queen sealed?
The official who drafted the order was shocked and couldn't help but look at Chen Jiao a few times before picking up his pen and writing.
Zhao Yan gave Eunuch Li a wink.
Eunuch Li immediately ordered someone to take the unselected beautiful girl to retreat. The colorful beauties left, and the imperial garden suddenly became quiet. The imperial garden was busy. Zhao Rong took a sip of tea, got up and walked out. When he passed by Chen Jiao, he ordered: "The scenery in the imperial garden is good, please accompany me to walk."
After he said that, he walked straight forward. Chen Jiao hesitated for a moment, and Eunuch Li whispered to urge her to follow.
Chen Jiao had no choice but to chase Zhao Yan.
There are no palace maids and eunuchs to follow.
The two walked one after another, and Chen Jiao recalled what happened today, as if she was dreaming. Zhao Ying had only used her but had no feelings for her. He had already obtained her. Even if he was satisfied with her appearance and figure, with Chen Jiao's relationship with the late emperor and Chen Wan, and Chen Jiao tried to make a condition with him, Zhao Ying was considered a favor with her, so why did he give her such an important position as a queen? Moreover, he only ordered her one?
Having to explain, Chen Jiao only thought of one reason.
Did he remember his past life?
Looking at Zhao Yan's slender and upright back, Chen Jiao's heart once again surged.
She wants to give it a try.
What to try? If you rashly call a man's name, if there is a duplicate name in the morning, Zhao Wang will both doubt it, wouldn't he implicate the other party?
"Brother Hu."
The thought flashed by, and Chen Jiao called out tentatively. Hu Ge'er was her and Li Mu's child, and the only child who allowed her to experience the entire pregnancy process.
Zhao Rong paused and looked back at her.
Chen Jiao's heartbeats faster.
Zhao Ying frowned and stared at her and asked, "What did you call me just now?"
Chen Jiao's heart immediately sank. If he remembered it, there was no need for him to pretend not to remember it.
Chen Jiao shook her head, looked at his clothes and said, "It's nothing, the folk girl has lost her words."
There was unconscious disappointment on her face, and Zhao Rong's eyes were slightly cold. He even named her the queen. She still had those shadows in her heart. When she found that he didn't remember, she looked like a lifeless look again.
Zhao Yan walked towards her.
His steps were getting closer and closer, and Chen Jiao suppressed her instinct to retreat and stood there motionless.
Zhao Rong stopped in front of her and skillfully lifted her chin.
Chen Jiao didn't like this posture and was about to avoid it when she heard him ask: "I promised to give you a title. Why? I'm appointing you as a queen, are you not satisfied?"
He was above and gave alms in a tone. Chen Jiao stepped back and knelt down and said, "The people's daughters dare not, but the people's daughters are not virtuous and feel guilty."
Zhao Wang said coldly: "You are lucky. Today I only see you."
Chen Jiao was silent.
Zhao Rong helped her up, and next to her was the rockery. He led her to walk into the rockery.
Chen Jiao was stiff all over, remembering that Zhao Ying had acted recklessly in the yard that day.
After entering the rockery, Zhao Yan indeed pushed her to the mountain wall.
Chen Jiao pursed her lips and reminded him: "Your Majesty, today's civilian girl will have to return to the Duke's Mansion. It's been delayed for a long time, and she is afraid of criticism."
Her face was full of resistance. Zhao Ying put his waist with one hand and stroked her face with the other. Seeing her eyelashes trembling, Zhao Ying suddenly felt very good. Her index finger and thumb twisted her thin earlobe. Zhao Ying whispered: "Jiaojiao, since you left the palace, it's late at night, I often think of the days when you and I were in the other courtyard."
Chen Jiao understood that she served him so hard that he enjoyed it, so he would naturally think, otherwise why would he hurriedly pull her over?
"Do you miss me?" Zhao Yan lowered his head and looked at her.
Chen Jiao closed her eyes.
Zhao Rong knew what she was minding and pressed against her forehead and said, "I am using you to deal with the deposed empress dowager, but I am not ruthless to you."
He had seen her lively and charming, and Zhao Rong wanted this woman, but she wanted him to have him in her heart, but only him.
Although he was ruthless, he wanted to pretend to be affectionate. Chen Jiao said without hesitation: "The emperor forgot, what you said in person, if I accomplice with the deposed empress dowager, you will also punish me for death." While pretending to favor her, he thought that she dared to poison her, so he wanted her to die without hesitation. Chen Jiao dared not want such love.
"Because I know, you won't harm me." Zhao Yan hugged her in his arms and sighed softly.
Chen Jiao asked mutely: "How does the emperor know?"
Zhao Ying kissed her hair: "Thunder and lightning fell every day. Since you can sacrifice yourself to me, how could you plot against me again?"
Even if Chen Jiao believed that he had never had the idea of killing her, she would not believe in his love.
"Just because I am willing to sacrifice my life to save me, the emperor likes me?" she asked with her head tilted.
Zhao Ying lowered his power and said in her ear: "Compared to saving my life, I like the way you take my life in bed."
Chen Jiao didn't expect that he would mention that at this time. Even though Chen Jiao had experienced enough, she still blushed.
"You are my first woman. As long as you treat me sincerely, I guarantee that you are my only one." Zhao Yan raised her chin again and stared at her eyes.
His eyes were gentle enough and his promises were tempting enough, but Chen Jiao still couldn't believe the vows that an emperor easily made.
"I……"
However, Zhao Yan suddenly blocked her lips. His lips were cold. After a year, after so many grudges, Chen Jiao was not used to it. She retreated, Zhao Yan chased her tightly and pressed her tightly on the rockery, quickly deepening this powerful kiss. The emperor was like a fire, and Chen Jiao's struggle was melted by him. In the end, Chen Jiao had to be forced to accept it.
Chen Jiao thought he would indulge here, but Zhao Yan did not.
