After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

cell.

The cell in Dali Temple was located underground, surrounded by darkness and dampness. Only a thin lamp hung on the wall vaguely reflected the rusty iron lock on the cell door.

A girl wearing prison uniform, with black hair on the ground, sat quietly behind the cell door.

The thin white fingertips touched the iron lock, and the chains collided with each other, making a dull sound. Although it was subtle, it was particularly clear and eerie in the silent cell.

Pei Chuchu closed his eyes.

It has been half a month since I was left in this cell.

The jailer didn't make things difficult for her, and she ate and drank as usual. However, she couldn't see anyone for half a month, couldn't speak, and her communication with the outside world was cut off. She didn't know what she was going to feel today, but it was really not a good time.

It wasn't that she hadn't thought about escaping, but the jailers were all Xiao Dingzhao's. No matter how she tried to coerce him, they would not even talk to her, let alone help her.

Pei Chuchu let out a sigh of relief.

She felt her throat was dry and was about to pour a bowl of tea when a sound suddenly came from outside the cell.

She looked and saw the flames of the lanterns coming closer and closer from outside the corridor. Because she had not been exposed to bright light for so long, the light from dozens of lanterns was a bit dazzling to her.

She raised her hands to cover her eyes, and after adjusting to the brightness for a while, she looked up.

Eunuchs and maids surrounded the young man.

He wears regular clothes embroidered with dragon patterns. We haven't seen him for half a month. His figure has become thinner, his jaw line has become colder and harder, and his thin lips are very light in color, adding a bit of coolness.

Her gaze moved upward.

The young man's red phoenix eyes were as dark as the abyss, like sharp blades.

He has excellent skin, and his young face shows a stubbornness that refuses to admit defeat and is bound to win. He has the spirit and sharpness that a young emperor should have.

Just so excited...

But it shouldn't be used on her.

Pei Chuchu lowered his eyes.

Long eyelashes like crow feathers covered the boredom in his pupils.

She did not salute.

Xiao Dingzhao signaled the jailer to open the cell door.

He stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at the girl who was like a bird in a cage: "After staying in prison for so many days, are Sister Pei convinced? As long as you are subdued, I am still willing to accept you into the palace."

Pei Chuchu knelt down and sat beside the low table, always remaining elegant and decent.

She rolled up her sleeves and poured tea. Because she hadn't spoken for a long time, her voice was slightly hoarse when she spoke: "Your Majesty grew up with my daughter, so you should understand her temperament. The more you force me, the more disgusted I am. If your majesty wants to be My daughter hates you, so just do it your way."

Xiao Dingzhao's hand behind his back suddenly tightened.

The girl in front of her is elegant and dignified, seemingly gentle and approachable, but in fact she is more stubborn than anyone else.

Other girls would come and go as soon as he called them, but Sister Pei...

A strong anger surged from his chest, and the urge to get more when he couldn't get it dominated him, making him want to throw away his reserve and ask this girl fiercely why she couldn't like him.

He took a deep breath, maintained the pride that an emperor should have, and said lightly: "Then sister Pei will continue to stay here."

He turned to leave,

Unwilling to cause trouble quietly, he suddenly looked back and said: "By the way, I plan to re-draft and enrich the harem. Your sister Pei Minmin is very good, I like her very much."

He stared at Pei Chuchu's face.

Pei Chuchu was always calm, and even raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

All the blood in Xiao Dingzhao's body rushed to his head.

His breathing became more rapid, he stared at Pei Chuchu fiercely, and finally walked away quickly, throwing away his sleeves.

It wasn't until the light of the lantern disappeared deep into the corridor that Pei Chuchu's tense fingertips suddenly relaxed. The pink and green tea cup fell weakly on the low table, and the tea stained the girl's sleeves.

She placed her hands on the low table, and the ends of her eyes gradually turned red.

Not out of jealousy or envy...

But, unwilling to give in.

She has been working hard in the palace for more than ten years, why...

Why could Pei Minmin easily enter the palace and become a concubine because of her unwillingness to give in?

How could such a shallow cousin, who had tried every means to use Hanzhoujing to frame her, be worthy of being an imperial concubine?

The emperor clearly knows what kind of thing Pei Minmin is, but he still wants to include her in the harem. He wants to disgust her, but he himself doesn't find it disgusting!

Such an emperor disappoints her.

The cage-like city of Chang'an also disappointed her.

Pei Chuchu put aside his so-called gentleness and dignity, and tiredly swept away the tea set on the low table, his eyes full of coldness and calculation.

…

Outside Dali Temple.

Xiao Dingzhao boarded the carriage, and the girl sitting in the carriage raised her head: "Brother Emperor."

Xiao Dingzhao sat down, his face looking very ugly.

As the car curtain was lowered, Xiao Mingyue took one last look at the Yamen of Dali Temple, calmly looked back, and continued peeling oranges.

In the past half month, she and Tingjue had repeatedly pleaded for Sister Pei, but the imperial brother not only refused to let Sister Pei out, but also did not even allow them to visit her.

In the past, she thought that Sister Pei and the Imperial Brother would be a good match, but now it seems that their fate is just that King Xiang is interested in the goddess and not the goddess.

The emperor's brother was dominated by his emotions and almost went crazy. Not to mention Sister Pei, she and Ting Ju also felt that the current emperor's brother was too scary.

She broke open the orange petals and handed half of it to Xiao Dingzhao.

Just as he was about to ask him what his plans were next, he heard Xiao Dingzhao's cold instructions: "According to my decree, a draft will be held in three days, and all girls of suitable age from all noble families can be sent to the palace."

Xiao Mingyue took a bite of the orange quietly.

Brother Huang is deliberately trying to make Sister Pei angry.

But Sister Pei seems to be a philistine, but in fact she is stubborn. She is not willing to be locked in the dungeon. The emperor's persecution may push her further.

She whispered: "Brother Emperor——"

"Don't persuade her." Xiao Dingzhao lowered his head and straightened his sleeves with a cold face, "If she wants to quarrel with me, I will quarrel with her. There are so many men in the world, and in her heart, all other men can do it, but I can't. …Sister, I can’t swallow this breath.”

Xiao Mingyue pursed her lips and said no more.

Xiao Dingzhao finished eating the orange segment she handed over, his eyes turned on her face as flawless as the bright moon, and his expression became a little softer.

He said: "My sister is now at the age where she is planning to get married, but does she have someone she likes? If my sister likes it and my brother grabs it, I will grab it for you."

Xiao Mingyue shook her head.

Things like love are still far away from her.

Moreover, the nuns in the palace said that love like that between father and mother was rare. In the secular world, it was very painful to truly fall in love with someone, and she did not want to experience that kind of pain.

I want to be the most carefree little princess of Dayong Kingdom...

Xiao Dingzhao couldn't help feeling pity when he saw his sister's innocent face.

His sister has always been delicate and naive. If she gets married in the future, she might be bullied by her husband's family.

He rubbed her head: "In short, even if I get married in the future, my sister will still live in the palace. Under my nose, the consort and his family will definitely not dare to bully you."

Xiao Mingyue responded with a gentle smile.

The draft was held as scheduled.

Xiao Dingzhao wanted to make Pei Chuchu jealous, so he selected more than a dozen concubines at once. In addition to the position of queen, the harem was already filled with beauties.

Xiao Mingyue quietly watched her brother's bewildered behavior without saying a word.

On the third day after being crowned a concubine, Jiang Tian traveled straight from Jinling to the palace.

She took out a small porcelain bottle and threw it to Xiao Mingyue angrily: "Here, the fake death medicine you want! Xiao Mingyue, you promised well that you would lead a red line for me and His Majesty, but this time, Your Majesty still didn't choose the concubine." Choose me, I’m so angry!”
