C52 (1/2)

Qing Jue said, ”Ah'Jun, as long as you are happy.”

I nodded my head and looked at him with the most sincere gaze. I spoke word by word as if I was swearing an oath, ”Qing, don't worry. I won't let you down by treating me like this.”

Qing Jue's handsome face still had a bright smile, but that smile seemed lonely to me.

The Consort Selection competition proceeded like a raging fire.

And I, without a doubt, broke into the finals.

Zhou Zhiruo is naturally my strongest competitor.

In three days, it will be the final battle. We will be facing the current empress, as well as the Emperor's four favorite concubines.

I was dancing in the palace.

After practicing for about an hour, I was a little tired. I sat in the pavilion and said to Qing Jue, ”Qing, sing me a little song.”

Ever since I said that I liked Ye Li Yuan, Qing Jue had almost never sung a little song for me again.

Whether I pester or sob, in short, the green no longer sings for me.

I learned to sing that little song myself.

However, my singing did not have any charm.

I like this song, I ask you to sing for me, but he won't.

I sang it myself.

There was a beauty who never forgot.

He thought like a madman, not seeing her in a single day.

The phoenix flew to the west, seeking the phoenix in all four seas.

However, this beauty was no longer at the east wall.

To the zither. To the heart.

When I see Xu Xi one day, comfort me with my hesitation.

May the words match the words, and we fight hand in hand.

Do not let fly, let me perish.

After singing, I asked Qing Jue, ”Qing, what's the name of this song? I've heard you sing it, I've sung it myself, but I never knew its name. ”

Qing Jue laughed: ”Qu Ming, you can call me whatever you want.”

With that, he changed the topic. ”Ah Jun, don't be lazy anymore. You should continue practicing the dance.”

I was a little sad. ”Qing, I don't want to practice dancing anymore. No matter how well I dance, Ye Li Yuan won't like me. From start to finish, he had always liked Zhou Zhiruo. ”In the selection of the consort three days from now, he will definitely appoint Zhou Zhiruo as the principal consort.”

”But you should try anyway, shouldn't you?”

”Well, yes.”

In any case, I shouldn't give up.

I've been working so hard, so long, I shouldn't be pessimistic. It's merely Zhou Zhiruo, how could she stop me?

I thought back to what I had said back then. Even if my hands were covered in blood, I would still become the imperial concubine of Ye Li.

The next day, I went into my study to see Prince Rong An.

Prince Rong An looked at me with a smile. ”Lord Zhao, how come you have the time to visit Father today?”

My face flushed. ”I miss my father.”

Prince Rong An laughed heartily and walked in front of me. He patted my shoulder and said, ”You won't come here for no reason. Say it, why have you come to find me?”

”I …”

I stuttered, a little awkward.
