Fu Jingchao chuckled and said calmly, "Given the position of concubine, Miss Yan dares to speak."
Having said this, Yan Zhi stopped pretending and said openly, "What I can bring you is definitely worthy of this position."
"There is no basis for what I say. How do I know whether what Miss Yan said is true or false?" Fu Jingchao looked like his interests were paramount, "Only if Miss Yan convinces me can we continue talking."
Fu Jingchao said this, and Yan Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, no man would not be moved by benefits. The so-called true love is worthless in front of Jiangshan.
However, Yan Zhi was not completely brainless. She thought for a moment and said, "This matter is of great importance and cannot be decided by me alone. As for the strength of the Yan family, I will let you see it as soon as possible."
Fu Jingchao curled up his lips and said, "I'm waiting for the good news about Miss Yan."
Yanzhi left full of expectations.
Fu Jingchao returned to the pavilion and snorted coldly, saying that the Yan family is really ambitious, "She wants to use her power to become a concubine."
Shen Mochen glanced at him dangerously, deliberately saying in a sinister manner, "Oh, this is a good thing."
"I have no intention of accepting a concubine." Fu Jingchao immediately clarified the relationship, "But I blew her up, and I am very curious about what cards the Yan family has."
Rather than bothering to check it out themselves, it would be better if Yanzhi revealed it himself and showed it to him.
He promised nothing.

Linglong Pavilion was in commotion because of the news that the eldest palace maid Mulan was coming.
Shen Xingwan and Shen Ruoyan were still dressed neatly. One of them was arranging the silver needles in his hands, and the other was cleaning the piano.
Soon Xiaotao knocked on the door and came in, "Sister Mulan is almost here, girls, please go out."
The two of them got up and went out. The girls in the yard were all dressed up and trying their best.
Shen Xingwan and the four people who came out of Huatingfang naturally stood together.
About the time of a cup of tea, Mulan came with several young palace maids, and the female official personally received them.
Mulan walked in and scanned such delicate girls with her eyes, then pointed at them, "Four of you, follow me. Concubine Yun has summoned me."
The four of them were relatively calm and walked up calmly.
The other girls looked disappointed and watched them leave.
They followed Mulan obediently and walked towards the main hall.
Compared with the exquisite and gorgeous layout of the Shengjing palace, the Beirong palace adopts a spacious and extensive style.
The four of them followed Mulan in and knelt down without raising their heads, "I've seen Concubine Yun."
It took a while before the voice came, "Everyone, raise your heads, I'll take a look."
The four people raised their heads as if they were picking out goods, and met a pair of sharp eyes.
The women on the seats were wearing luxurious palace clothes, and even the best rouge could not cover the cloud tail lines at the corners of their eyes. Concubine Yun looked down at them with sharp eyes.
Compared with the concubines Shen Xingwan had met before, Concubine Yun had an overt sense of domineering about her, and it could be seen that she was a difficult person to deal with.
Concubine Yun walked down with vigorous steps, "Sure enough, her beautiful face and moon-like appearance are very charming."
The four of them lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Concubine Yun flicked her wide sleeves and looked at the four of them with a solemn expression, "Do you know what is the most important thing in order to gain His Majesty's favor?"
Shen Xingwan pretended not to speak. According to her experience, in this situation, it is easy to say many things and make many mistakes.
Qu Jupiter said weakly, "Is it beauty?"
"Hmph, there is no girl in the Guanglinglong Courtyard who is not beautiful, let alone the three thousand beauties in the harem." Concubine Yun said in a contemptuous tone, "Why should I choose you?"
Shen Xingwan rolled his eyes inwardly. He had made all the choices and pretended. Wasn't he just trying to suppress and brainwash them? Don't make the trick too obvious.
Qumuli lowered her head and said obediently, "Please give me some advice."
Concubine Yun bent down and lifted Qu Jupiter's chin with her fingers, "It's because you are obedient. In this palace, you can only survive by being obedient."
Qu Muxing seemed to be frightened and said timidly, "Yes..."
Concubine Yun let her go and looked at Shen Xingwan and Shen Ruoyan, who had been silent, "Do you two understand?"
"I understand." The two lowered their heads to hide their expressions.
Concubine Yun returned to her position and said casually, "Come on, let me see what you are capable of."
The four of them performed their talents for her one after another.
Shen Xingwan stood in the corner and carefully observed Concubine Yun. It was not difficult to see that she was very strong and did not take them seriously.
It's hard to say whether she treats them as human beings or not. What she wants is beautiful, obedient and brainless tools.
Soon it was their turn, and Shen Xingwan calmed down to play the piano. After Shen Ruoyan was forced to practice dancing every day, her dancing skills became much better.
Concubine Yun looked at it seriously and understood why the fourth prince sent people in.
Their talents are not top-notch, but their temperament is inexplicably attractive, and they are rare types in the palace that competes for beauty.
If it were introduced, the emperor would like it for a while because of its novelty.
But she hesitated because the two of them were too quiet. I don't know if they are really weak and don't understand anything, or if they are scheming.
Soon after the song ended, Concubine Yun came back to her senses and said, "From now on, you will move to the side hall at the back. There will be dedicated people to train you."
The four people walked out of the palace and looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Finally, a crucial step has been taken. Concubine Yun means that at least the next person to be withdrawn in front of the emperor will definitely come from them.
The four of them had nothing to deal with, so they moved directly into the side hall. It was much quieter than Linglong Courtyard, and there were only the four of them.
The four of them looked polite on the surface, closed the door, and talked among themselves.
Shen Ruoyan said, "This Concubine Yun has such a strong aura."
Shen Xingwan said worriedly, "We must pay special attention to her and not take her lightly."
In the main hall, Concubine Yun was also discussing them, and asked the assistant beside her, "What do you think of these four girls, which one is the best?"
Mulan had the most contact with them and was the first to speak out, "They are not cheap. Huatingfang folded several top cards to get the quota this time. The struggle in Linglongyuan itself was fierce. These four people were able to escape and walk in front of the empress.
This in itself represents the excellence of their abilities and methods."
Sure enough, no one is stupid who can survive in the palace. Even a palace maid can see clearly.
Concubine Yun said softly, "It doesn't matter if you have means or ability, it all depends on where you will use it."
Oh, she has seen too many smart and capable people who want to step on her to get the upper hand. Of course, she paid the price for her naivety in the end.
"Let's take a look, now is a special time." Concubine Yun's eyes flashed, "The person sent to His Majesty must live up to my expectations."
From the day the second prince led the troops to the expedition, Concubine Yun was holding her breath in her heart.
