Nan Ziyun naturally noticed that Yu Jingchen was not right. She, who was about to doze off, instantly woke up. Nan Ziyun looked at Su Qianyan below. Well, she didn't recognize her.
"Your Majesty?" Nan Ziyun called out.
Yu Jingchen calmly withdrew his gaze and looked down at the little girl in his arms, "What's wrong? Are you bored or sleepy?"
"A little. When will it be over?" Nan Ziyun inexplicably felt that this woman named Su Qianyan gave her a strange feeling.
Yu Jingchen didn't know when it would end. He glanced at Yan Qing. Yan Qing reacted quickly and replied with a smile, "Your Majesty, it's only halfway through."
Is it only halfway? Nan Ziyun felt like she had been here for a long time.
"The consorts in the later stages can handle it. I'll leave first." Yu Jingchen had no patience to wait here. In the previous life, the selection of concubines was just a formality. Anyway, those who stayed were basically there because of their family background.
Yan Qing didn't say anything to stop him, nor could she. Yu Jingchen put Nan Ziyun down and left with her hand in his.
The other selected women behind were somewhat disappointed, as His Majesty had not seen them yet. However, Su Qianyan was quite bold and looked up several times. Yan Qing saw all of this but said nothing.
"Your Majesty, what about that Su Qianyan just now?" Nan Ziyun asked.
Yu Jingchen looked at her and smiled helplessly, "Are you jealous?"
"How many people does Your Majesty plan to keep?" Nan Ziyun did not answer directly, but her words conveyed displeasure.
Yu Jingchen stopped. Nan Ziyun looked at him in confusion. Why did he stop suddenly? Did she ask too much? Nan Ziyun became a little nervous, her eyes drooping.
"Why are you still afraid?" Yu Jingchen embraced her.
Nan Ziyun's nervousness eased. She was actually less afraid of Yu Jingchen than before. But when Yu Jingchen was silent, she still felt scared. Perhaps it was not enough sense of security. She felt much more relaxed, at ease, and bolder when interacting with Yu Jingchen, but when facing certain situations, Nan Ziyun's fear of Yu Jingchen was still there.
"I'm afraid I'm asking too much..." Nan Ziyun told him.
"I'm glad you're asking these things, so don't be afraid. Yun'er asks these questions because you care, right? You don't have to worry about me getting angry. You have to believe that I won't lose my temper with you casually anymore, okay?" Yu Jingchen wanted to bring Nan Ziyun back to her former self, confident, generous, fiery, and radiant.
"Mhm~" Nan Ziyun seemed to have taken it in, but it was easy to say and difficult to do. Her fear was etched into her bones, involuntary, so she began to be afraid subconsciously.
"I'm not interested in the newcomers this time, so Yun'er, don't overthink it, and don't worry. I won't touch them, never again, because I only have Yun'er, okay? No matter what, those people can never surpass you. Just treat them as decorations, don't put them in your eyes, and don't let them affect your mood. Remember, at all times, you are more noble than them." Yu Jingchen seemed to like instilling this idea in Nan Ziyun now.
