Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Shi Xiu was disappointed.

They were just small courtyards.

It wasn't built as exquisitely as the main hall in front.

It even looks somewhat dilapidated.

Chapter 1707 Selecting a Concubine

After Yanfu Palace was built,

Emperor Huizong usually lived there.

The most favored concubines also mostly moved there.

Only the Empress and some older concubines remained in the palace.

Empress Zheng, the mistress of the harem, was known for her frugality.

As a result, the imperial harem received far less maintenance.

It looks rather dilapidated.

In addition, the personal guards have already ordered everyone to stay put.

The eunuchs and palace maids all hid in their respective courtyards.

I dare not move.

This made the entire harem appear dilapidated and desolate.

Shi Xiu watched as Duan Chang walked through several courtyards.

He said impatiently,

"Which concubine do you want to choose? Hurry up."

Duan Changkan was impatient with Shi Xiu.

He hurriedly pointed to a small courtyard in front of him.

"Okay, okay, this is it."

Duan Chang wasn't actually making a selection.

Instead, the front courtyards were occupied by Emperor Huizong's favored concubines.

Her appearance is naturally excellent.

He is self-aware.

Even after he submitted to the Great Liang,

He could not immediately become a high-ranking official in the Liang Dynasty.

As for Zhao Ji's concubines,

Not to become the emperor's personal possession in the Great Liang Dynasty.

It was a reward given to important officials of the Liang Dynasty.

If he were to actually choose an absolute beauty from among them,

If they were to attract the attention of some narrow-minded high-ranking officials of the Liang Dynasty,

Perhaps this choice will cost me my life.

The three of them arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.

The three large characters above read "Yingfang Courtyard".

The courtyard gate, however, was tightly closed.

"dong dong dong"

Shi Xiu impatiently stepped forward and knocked hard on the door.

A young eunuch carefully opened the gate.

Seeing that Shi Xiu was carrying a knife, he panicked and said...

"What are your orders, sir?"

Shi Xiu said impatiently,

Are any of Emperor Huizong's concubines inside?

The eunuch overheard Shi Xiu addressing the emperor by his full name.

They also knew that Shi Xiu was the one who caused the rebellion.

He said, trembling.

"Inside is Qin Huaishan, who is in full bloom."

Shi Xiu nodded and said, "Take us in."

The young eunuch saw that Shi Xiu had a cold expression on his face.

He didn't dare to say anything more.

He led the three of them directly inside.

Chongrong Qin Huaishan was sitting blankly in the room.

She learned of the palace coup.

After a group of imperial guards of unknown origin sealed off the palace,

And so I just sat there, motionless.

She is only twenty-two years old this year.

She wasn't particularly favored.

The emperor rarely visits her more than a few times a year.

She also did not give birth to a prince.

Therefore, none of the concubines targeted her.

Qin Huaishan was also thinking about the impact of the coup on her.

She had no princes.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about being eliminated by the new emperor.

If the new emperor is Zhao Ji's brother or a prince,

Therefore, her most likely outcome is that she will be ordered to become a nun.

He spent the rest of his life in seclusion, surrounded by the ancient Buddha and the flickering lamp.

After all, it's not a good reputation to take one's brother's or father's concubine.

If the new emperor is not a member of the royal family

Then she would very likely become a concubine of the new emperor.

Or they might be bestowed upon some ministers by the new emperor.

But in this way,

Perhaps her situation will actually improve.

After all, she is not currently favored.

They rarely saw the emperor, perhaps only once a year.

As Qin Huaishan was thinking,

A palace maid ran in to report,

"Oh no, someone has come in."

Qin Huaishan stood up calmly.

"What's the big deal?"

"Come with me and see who they are."

When Shi Xiu and the other two arrived at the door of the house,

Then a beautiful woman led a palace maid out.

Qin Huaishan gracefully curtsied and said,

"May I ask what brings you three gentlemen here?"

Shi Xiu saw that the woman was neither surprised nor flustered.

I was somewhat surprised.

"My king has bestowed you upon Duan Chang,"

"You two can have sex now."

Qin Huaishan had already anticipated this outcome.

I just didn't expect to have sex so soon.

She blushed deeply with embarrassment.

"Shall we have sex now?"

Shi Xiu said expressionlessly,

"Those who disobey orders will be killed."

Qin Huaishan had already figured it out.

Upon hearing this, she hurriedly replied, "This servant accepts the imperial decree."

Qin Huaishan knew that from now on she would belong to Duan Chang.

Duan Changying gave a blessing.

"Please come in, sir."

Duan Chang knew that Shi Xiu had lost patience.

They didn't dare to delay.

He stepped inside.

Qin Huaishan saw Shi Xiu also walking inside.

He blushed deeply and said,

"Sir, would you mind moving to a side room and having a servant serve you tea?"

Shi Xiu also guessed Zhao Yuan's plan.

We dare not be careless.

"Don't even think about playing tricks. You'll have sex under my watch."

Duan Chang, on the contrary, came to a realization.

What's done is done.

As long as he is wholeheartedly devoted to serving the Great Liang,

Perhaps this misfortune will turn into a blessing in disguise.

"Let's go!"

Duan Chang pulled Qin Huaishan into the inner room.

Then he started taking off his clothes.

Qin Huaishan saw Shi Xiu watching from the side.

But she blushed with embarrassment.

He hesitated for ages, unable to take off even one piece of clothing.
