Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 317

Could it be Yun Shang? Emperor Ning frowned. He wondered why Yun Shang refused to let lady Jin be the empress. From Yun Shang's reaction in Lady Jin's palace the other day, she hoped that emperor Ning would appoint lady Jin as his concubine, and if lady Jin became the empress, Chenxi would be the real crown prince.

Emperor Ning pondered for a long time, but still didn't figure out the secret. He shook his head and ordered, "tell lady Ya and Liu Qiyan to come to the imperial palace."

Lord Zheng nodded and went to open the door. When he was about to order the eunuch to do it, he saw Liu Qiyan standing in front of qinzheng hall. With an anxious look on his face, he said, "Lord Zheng, I have something to talk to his majesty. May I know if his majesty has time to summon me?"

Lord Zheng smiled and said, "I was sent for Master Liu. Now, you are here on your own. This way, we won't have to worry too much." While saying, he allowed Liu Qiyan to enter the room.

"Your Majesty, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Mr. Liu standing at the door, asking to see you, so I brought him in." Master Zheng said with a smile.

Emperor Ning nodded. As soon as he stepped into the hall, Liu Qiyan suddenly knelt down. "Your Majesty, my sister is born on the seventeenth day of may, but she is just from a rural family. Although she knows how to read and write because of our father, she cannot be the empress. As the empress, she should be virtuous and generous, but my sister doesn't match with the empress' status. Your majesty, please don't appoint my younger sister as the empress. There are many people who were born on May 17 in the world. Someone must be able to take the responsibility."

There was a flash of surprise in emperor Ning's eyes. Liu Qiyan was the elder brother of Lady ya, and naturally he knew her birthday. Moreover, as Master Wu Na and master Lingxuzi had mentioned the birthday party, they would know it was lady ya. So, he asked for it. Wasn't it a pleasure for ordinary people to hear that their young sister could be the empress? Why...

Emperor Ning glanced at Liu Qiyan and said, "although your sister is not a lady from an eminent family, she is a reasonable person and behaves herself well in the palace. Why don't you want her to be the empress?"

Liu Qiyan smiled bitterly. "Lady Ya is my sister, and I know what kind of person she is. Besides, I'm a little bit proud and lonely, and I don't have many friends in the court. If not careful enough, I can't even protect her life. I just hope that my sister will be safe and happy. I don't ask for more wealth."

Emperor Ning was silent for a while, thinking that Liu Qiyan was a sober man.

While he was thinking, Lord Zheng came in. "Your Majesty, lady Ya is here."

Emperor Ning nodded, "go ahead."
