Chapter 193 Relatives?
Jiang Qingyan gave Mo Yan a slightly embarrassed smile, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. That's why I brought you here as soon as I left the palace."
Mo Yan was clearly still in a daze, and after a long pause, she finally reacted and awkwardly said to Jiang Qingyan, "N-nothing..."
Jiang Qingyan chuckled and said, "Let's go, I'll show you around. I'll arrange a bedroom for you later. It would be best if you wanted to live in the palace, but you can also go back to your own home if you want."
Mo Yan nodded and followed Jiang Qingyan into Chaoyang Palace.
But as soon as I stepped inside, I was dumbfounded...
Good heavens... How come the whole room is full of incredibly handsome men?! Are these all the concubines of this homosexual emperor?
What a tragedy! So many handsome men have been turned gay by her...
Even if you only gave her one... she'd be laughing in her sleep...
Upon seeing Jiang Qingyan return, a room full of handsome men instantly swarmed around her, surrounding her completely.
It was just an accident that knocked Mo Yan out of the house...
She stared longingly into the room, her eyes filled with not only resentment but also intense jealousy…
They're both from different time periods, but one of them is an emperor and a handsome man...
And myself...
At this moment, Jiang Qingyan pushed her way out of the crowd, strode outside, took Mo Yan's hand, and introduced her to everyone: "Her name is Mo Yan, she is my friend, and she will be our in-house pastry chef in the future. The pastries I brought back last time were made by her."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Mo Yan repeatedly, their expressions blank, only nodding politely.
Only Shen Yuan and Xuan Ye frowned, seemingly lost in thought.
Suddenly being stared at by a group of handsome men, Mo Yan blushed and shyly raised her right hand to greet them, saying, "Hi, hello everyone..."
Everyone looked away, then put on smiling faces again and surrounded Jiang Qingyan, saying coquettishly, "Husband~ Where did you go~ Why didn't you take us with you~"
Mo Yan was pushed aside by the crowd again. She awkwardly withdrew her raised right hand, couldn't help but clench her fist, and bit her lower lip as she watched them laugh.
Jiang Qingyan coughed lightly and said, "We're leaving the palace on official business. If we were going sightseeing, would we leave you all behind?"
After saying that, he glanced at Mo Yan, who was standing alone to the side, and quickly went over to take her hand, teasingly saying, "These men are really making a fuss. I'll take you to see the bedroom."
Mo Yan looked down at her small hand, which was being held tightly by Jiang Qingyan, and her heart trembled involuntarily. A blush rose on her face.
She nodded gently and said, "Okay..."
She couldn't help but secretly think, if she could straighten this stunningly handsome emperor, wouldn't she gain both the world and a handsome man?
Considering that Mo Yan usually needs to make pastries, Jiang Qingyan arranged for her to stay in Zhenxiang Palace, which is closest to the small kitchen.
After looking around the courtyard, Mo Yan excitedly ran into the bedroom and looked around again.
Although this bedchamber was of the standard for imperial concubines, a hint of disappointment still flashed in her eyes…
After all, this place is quite different from the Chaoyang Palace we just visited…
Jiang Qingyan asked with a smile, "So? Do you like this house?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan quickly concealed her disappointment and put on a look of surprise and anticipation, exclaiming excitedly, "Wow... this house is so big... bigger than my entire mansion outside the palace..."
Jiang Qingyan patted her shoulder and said, "If you like it, this place is yours from now on."
Mo Yan pursed her lips, her face filled with gratitude, and said, "Yan Qing... thank you..."
Jiang Qingyan smiled and said, "Actually, my real name is Jiang Qingyan. For your personal safety, you should still call me Your Majesty in front of outsiders."
Mo Yan exclaimed in surprise, "What a coincidence! My full name is Jiang Mo Yan! Our names are only one character different!"
Jiang Qingyan joked, "This must be fate... We're both time travelers, and our names are so similar, maybe we're even related!"
Mo Yan quickly asked, "Which city were you in when you were in modern times?"
Jiang Qingyan casually replied, "I'm in City A. What about you?"
Mo Yan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "I'm in City B, so it seems we're not related..."
Otherwise, if I manage to seduce her and get my hands on her later, that would be incest...
After staring at the plaque of Zhenxiang Hall for a moment, Mo Yan murmured, "I've decided to stay here and not go back..."
Jiang Qingyan exclaimed excitedly, "Really? That's wonderful! Now I can have delicious little cakes to eat!"
Mo Yan smiled and said, "You can order whatever you want to eat from now on. Besides small cakes, I can also cook Western food."
Jiang Qingyan nodded excitedly, "Okay!"
After chatting casually for a few minutes, Jiang Qingyan sent two eunuchs and palace maids to serve Mo Yan before returning to Chaoyang Palace.
Mo Yan lay on the bed with her arms outstretched, her gaze burning as she stared intently at the hand that Jiang Qingyan had held tightly, already having made up her mind…
Outside Chaoyang Palace, Shen Yuan and Xuan Ye waited anxiously for Jiang Qingyan to return.
Seeing two figures in black pacing back and forth outside the hall, Jiang Qingyan craned her neck and squinted at them, calling out, "Hey! What are you two doing over there?"
Upon hearing the voice, the two quickly turned to look at Jiang Qingyan and jogged over to greet her.
Jiang Qingyan, holding one of their hands, asked with a smile, "Why didn't you go back to your chambers?"
Shen Yuan quickly said, "Husband, that person must not be allowed to live!"
Xuan Ye chimed in, "Yes, my lord, why don't you let her stay in the palace? Whenever you want pastries, we can go out of the palace and buy them for you..."
Seeing their incredibly serious faces, Jiang Qingyan assumed they were saying this because they were jealous, and quickly explained, "You know, I don't like women, I only like you two!"
Shen Yuan said speechlessly, "Husband, that's not what I meant. I just don't like Mo Yan, and I don't want her to stay by your side..."
Jiang Qingyan asked in confusion, "Mo Yan is so great. She's beautiful, gentle, and can cook delicious food. You've only met her once, why are you already so annoyed?"
Shen Yuan was so anxious that he didn't know how to explain, so he could only nudge Xuan Ye beside him, signaling him to say something as well.
After thinking for a moment, Xuan Ye said, "Husband, think about it carefully. Our harem is full of men. It's really inconvenient for her, a woman, to live here!"
Shen Yuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly added, "That's right, my husband. We don't like being with women. We only like being with you."
Jiang Qingyan chuckled upon hearing this, "You two are too funny! There are palace maids everywhere in the palace!"
He then casually pointed to the palace maids passing by, bowing, and said, "Look, aren't these all women?"
Shen Yuan and Xuan Ye exchanged a helpless glance, utterly speechless...
