That high platform was specially built for him to feed the lions, and no one else had ever dared to go up there.
Now his delicate and soft little imperial concubine actually ran up on her own.
"You are quite courageous."
Seeing the girl holding an extremely beautiful silver bell in her hand, He Muyan thoughtfully tapped the railing with his fingertips rhythmically, his eyes showing deep interest.
He once read in a book sent as tribute from the Western Regions that there is a secret method in the Western Regions that can make animals obey people's orders.
The picture in the book is of a girl wearing a gauze, holding a bell in her right hand, and underneath her are all very obedient large beasts.
But how could this third young lady, who had been imprisoned in the Su Mansion since she was a child, know such magic?
It seems that his little concubine has many secrets.
Here, Lin Ruolan is supporting the Queen Mother to walk this way.
She had just received news that Su Lian ran onto the lion feeding platform without authorization and was still disheveled, so she immediately ran out with the Queen Mother.
Sure enough, Su Lian was sitting happily on the lion feeding platform, with a wooden bucket and a fork about the same size as her placed next to her.
"Look, aunt, this is the new imperial concubine."
Lin Ruolan said quickly.
The Queen Mother followed her finger and almost didn't have a heart attack.
A petite woman sat on a high platform with dangling legs. She had an innocent look on her face, but her movements were quick and neat.
"It's really shameless. Is this the third daughter of the Su family?"
"Yes, aunt, she is so arrogant. Not only did she seduce Prince Yue, she even doesn't take you seriously!"
Lin Ruolan hugged her arm and said jealously.
"What? Seducing Yue'er?"
The Queen Mother was even more furious when she heard this. As her biological son, He Muyue could not have anything to do with such a woman!
When the Queen Mother frowned and walked over with everyone, she saw Su Lian holding up the hem of her skirt and happily using a steel fork to fork the raw meat, throwing it down piece by piece.
The fierce lions below were also happy to have fun and eat, so they cooperated very well. For a while, one person and one lion were in perfect harmony.
The girl's slender, snow-white legs are faintly exposed, and the silver bells on her ankles ring in the wind, which is pleasant to the ear.
But this scene was extremely dazzling to the eyes of the Queen Mother. The huge mouths of those lions made her dizzy. It was Lin Ruolan's support that kept her from being frightened.
Her hands kept turning the beads, and the Queen Mother muttered something:
"Amitabha...Namo Amitabha..."
"What a crime."
Shaking her head, the Queen Mother flashed a trace of disgust in her eyes and waved to the back:
"Come here, bring Concubine Su down to the Ai family. The Ai family will punish her!"
A hint of secret joy flashed in Lin Ruolan's eyes.
Not only did the emperor not say anything about his dislike of her, but now the queen mother also disliked her extremely.
So what if she was protected by He Muyue, water from far away would not be able to quench her thirst nearby.
"Who dares."
He Muyan walked over wearing a dark red robe. He had jet black hair, extremely white complexion, thin but unusually red lips, a slightly unhappy look on his phoenix eyes, and a very seductive red mole at the end of his eye.
This is the face that was predicted to be a disaster star.
The Queen Mother paused and looked at him with a bit of fear in her eyes:
"Emperor, Concubine Su is hanging out with these beasts. She doesn't follow the etiquette of the harem at all and behaves in a dissolute manner..."
He Muyan interrupted calmly:
"Mother."
"According to what you say, I have to be punished too? Those beasts are raised by my children."
"But if it is really my fault, I am willing to accept the punishment."
He chuckled with thin lips, but his eyes were extremely cold.
The Queen Mother was speechless for a moment.
She wanted to punish him, but she was afraid that he would be eaten alive by those beasts before he even got close to him.
Although the two of them seemed to have a respectful mother-son relationship, everyone in the palace knew that the emperor was not the biological son of the current empress dowager.
And that sick prince He Muyue was her biological son. And his life was in the hands of this powerful emperor.
Because of this, the Queen Mother was extremely afraid of him.
As if aware of the dispute on their side, Su Lian jumped down from the high wall.
"Your Majesty~"
I saw Su Lian running over, looking like a little white rabbit that had just escaped from the mouth of a group of evil lions.
Wearing an apricot pink skirt, she looked extremely delicate.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Su Lian immediately stood in front of He Muyan, his eyes full of vigilance.
He Muyan was startled by her unintentional little move.
"Best wishes, Queen Mother."
Su Lian casually leaned over and raised his eyes to meet the Queen Mother's eyes.
With just one look, the Queen Mother almost concluded that she would never like the girl in front of her.
There is no other reason. There is too much ambition and arrogance hidden in her seemingly clear eyes.
She always liked concubines who were easy to control, but this concubine in front of her was definitely not the case.
She even saw the shadow of He Muyan in her.
She couldn't punish He Mu at the banquet. How could she not punish a little concubine? In order to save her face, the Queen Mother forced out a serious face:
"Concubine Su, do you know you are wrong?"
Su Lian blinked and looked at the Queen Mother with a hint of ridicule in her eyes:
"I don't know what I'm doing wrong."
"You are a noble concubine, and you should be a role model for the Sixth Palace before there is a queen in the harem. How can you dress so revealingly and play with those beasts... beasts in public?"
"Why not."
Su Lian took out the silver bell from his sleeve, smiled slyly, and shook it gently.
The clear and melodious bell rang, and for a moment all the lions in the Beast Garden opened their mouths and roared, as if in response to the bell.
The Queen Mother was frightened and took a few steps back. Lin Ruolan beside her also turned pale instantly.
"Empress Dowager, listen, they are not beasts. They are more obedient than some people, and they don't know how to talk."
As he said that, Su Lian glanced at Lin Ruolan who was hiding behind the Queen Mother.
Putting her little finger against the silver bell, Su Lian's voice was sweet and soft:
"The Queen Mother is old, go back and have a good rest. What if you get scared and fall down again, or get eaten by this lion, that would be bad."
Su Lian looked well-behaved, but what he said made him extremely angry.
"you you…"
The Queen Mother pointed at her nose with a trembling hand, and was so angry that she could not speak.
"puff."
He Muyan couldn't help laughing when he looked at Su Lian standing in front of him, baring his teeth and claws, looking fierce like a little beast.
The poor and angry Queen Mother thought he was laughing at her, and she was so angry that she fainted.
When Su Lian saw this, he immediately jumped back and fell into He Muyan's arms, with tears in his eyes:
"Your Majesty, she...she blackmailed me!"
People around him couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.
