The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 42 Angry?

Chapter

Because of the special favor she had shown a few days ago, everyone in Shu Yuexuan thought that Emperor Yongjia would definitely turn to Qin Liuse again tonight.

The maids in the palace had already packed everything for Qin Liuse and were waiting for Zhu Wanxi's order.

Unexpectedly, it was Cairen Zhou who was told to serve tonight, which made the servants feel humiliated after working hard all day.

Qin Liuse was still sitting on the couch in the room, warming his legs. He looked lazy and didn't seem to care much, but he was anxious as a servant.

So when Xiao Fuzi came back after finding out the news, she didn't dare go in and tell anyone, but only talked quietly with a few maids outside.

Qingqing felt the most burned on her face, so she grabbed Xiao Fuzi and asked, "Whose card did the emperor turn over tonight?"

"It's Lady Zhou from Yuxiu Palace."

"Really?" Qingqing asked in surprise. She never expected it to be Zhou Cairen.

"How could this be false? Looking at the time, he should have been carried away." Xiao Fuzi had just come back from jogging, and even though it was a snowy palace, he was still a little out of breath.

"Why is this happening?" Qingqing said with dissatisfaction, with her hands inside her sleeves.

"Keep your voice down, be careful not to be heard by Concubine Jie." Zijin advised Qingqing to calm down, "Be careful not to hurt Concubine Jie's feelings."

That's right! Qingqing was worried. Seeing that it was so late and Emperor Yongjia hadn't sent anyone to deliver his order, she sent Xiao Fuzi to find out.

"Okay, it's getting late." Qingqing sent Xiao Fuzi away and said, "Go back and have a rest. Don't hang around in front of Concubine Jieyu."

Xiao Fuzi nodded repeatedly and went back to his room to rest.

Qingqing and Zijin thought they were talking quietly, like thieves, so they were startled when Mingyue's voice suddenly appeared behind them.

"Aunt Mingyue! You scared me!" Qingqing complained.

Mingyue shook her head helplessly, "You two are acting like thieves, stop sighing, the Concubine wants you to go in and talk, don't stay out in the cold."

The three of them breathed out white air as they spoke, and quickly fled back into the house.

The room was warm, Qin Liuse was leisurely eating snacks and drinking hot tea. When he saw Qingqing Zijin coming in, he smiled and said, "What are you talking about behind my back? And you went outside to talk about it."

Qingqing walked over, took a hot water bottle and stuffed it into the blanket Qin Liuse was covered with, and changed the subject, "Nothing, I went to see how the preparations for tomorrow were going."

Qin Liuse knew she was lying as soon as she heard it, and she also thought she was so funny and cute. "Are you afraid that I won't be able to sleep after I find out? Are you afraid that I'll be sad? Tell me, did the emperor go to Concubine Zhou's place tonight?"

Qingqing and Zijin opened their eyes as wide as bells, "How did Concubine Jieyu guess that?"

Qin Liuse took a peach cake and put it in his mouth, and said proudly, "What's so hard about this?"

Qingqing was relieved to see that Qin Liuse didn't look sad at all. She looked at her and asked, "Isn't Concubine Jieyu sad?"

Qin Liuse broke off a melon seed and put it into Qingqing's mouth. Qingqing ate it and put on a smile. Then Qin Liuse said, "Why should I be sad? Hasn't the emperor been accompanying me these days?"

Qingqing was still a little unhappy and stamped her feet, "But the emperor is really..."

Qin Liuse raised her eyebrows, "Really? You are such a powerful girl, you dare to be angry with the emperor? Then tell me where the emperor should go?"

"Who dares to interfere with the emperor's schedule?" Qingqing's face turned red. "Jieyu, you just make fun of me."

Qin Liuse then said, "Serving the emperor is not an easy job. It is both mentally and physically demanding. You have to let me take a break for this kind of physical work. A donkey pulling a millstone cannot be pulled like this."

Qingqing's face turned even redder when she heard her say "physical work". Although she had seen a lot of this kind of thing because she followed Qin Liuse and knew exactly what it was, she was still a girl and was thin-skinned.

Mingyue smiled secretly, seeing Qin Liuse making fun of Qingqing again, and Qingqing was teased like a cooked shrimp, she said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if the emperor is not here, as long as he has us concubines in his heart, has love, and has wealth and honor. It doesn't matter how many people he has in his heart, as long as we concubines don't..."

Seeing that Mingyue was embarrassed to continue, Qin Liuse continued, "As long as you don't want to die before seeing the emperor, life will be easy."

Qin Liuse never wanted Emperor Yongjia to favor her alone. Instead, she hoped that he would treat her equally and not cause trouble for her. But as long as he loved her, that was the most important thing.

You have to know that sincerity has never existed in the harem, let alone in people like emperors.

Qingqing and Zijin listened and seemed to be thinking about something, but in the end, it was right to follow their own concubine no matter what.

On the other side, in Yuxiu Palace, Li Chongyuan couldn't be as calm as Qin Liuse.

"That vixen, she really seduced the emperor!" Li Chongyuan smashed the comb in her hand angrily. "She really has the ability to take it from me first, and now she has taken it from Concubine Qin. If she gets pregnant with the heir, she will be able to walk around like a tyrant in Yuxiu Palace in the future!"

An important reason why Li Chongyuan was so angry was that she had never taken Zhou Cairen seriously before. She was not very pretty or talented, so her sudden change of heart was really a source of indigestion.

But she also understood that since Emperor Yongjia came here a few days ago and saw Concubine Zhou, he would remember this person in his heart. There would always be a day when he would regain her favor, either today or tomorrow, so there was nothing to be surprised about.

The maid looked at Li Chongyuan's expression and advised, "Chongyuan, I think the emperor doesn't take her too seriously, otherwise why did he have dinner in her room a few days ago, then go to Concubine Qin's place, and only summon her to sleep with him today."

"I see, the emperor is only giving her face to live in the harem." Otherwise, being abandoned by the emperor like that would be really embarrassing in the harem.

I have to say that these words did comfort Li Chongyuan to some extent.

"I just can't stand her coming to my place to act coquettishly and snatch someone away! Bitch." That day Li Chongyuan really lost face in front of Emperor Yongjia, and she lost it so completely.

Li Chongyuan will never forget this grudge.

Seeing that she was still angry, the maid advised: "Chongyuan, please don't get angry with yourself. Think more about yourself. Why bother with a talented person? Chongyuan has Princess Anle and the emperor's favor. Even if the other person flatters her, he can't catch up."

"I..." Li Chongyuan slammed the table hard. Thinking of Zhou Cairen enjoying the emperor's favor in the Yongjia Emperor's tent, she became even more furious. "You act so pretentiously in front of me. I don't know what you will pretend to be when you go to the emperor!"

The maid picked up the comb for Li Chongyuan and walked over to pat her back. "Chongyuan, who in this palace is as lucky as Chongyuan? No one is as lucky as you. There are not many people who have children. Wait until she can lay eggs, and then you can compete with Chongyuan."

Li Chongyuan clenched her fists, her eyes gleaming with cruelty: "Whether she can lay eggs is still uncertain!"

But in Chengqian Palace, Concubine Zhou was waiting in the side hall until Emperor Yongjia finally returned to the palace. Zhu Wanxi came and called her over to serve him.

Walking slowly to the bedroom, Zhou Cairen saw Emperor Yongjia sitting on the couch by the window. Her heart was pounding, and she quickly walked over and knelt down to greet him, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Having not seen Emperor Yongjia for several days, Concubine Zhou felt nervous and shy. On such a cold night, Emperor Yongjia seemed even more majestic and masculine, making her want to get close to him and find him as a source of warmth.

"Stand up." Emperor Yongjia put down the scroll in his hand, glanced at Zhou Cairen, and said, "Settle down."

Emperor Yongjia stood up and walked towards the bed, and Concubine Zhou quickly got up and followed him.

"I will help the emperor change his clothes." Lady Zhou said softly.

Emperor Yongjia opened his hands and let Concubine Zhou untie his belt.

Zhou Cairen's face was flushed, and the unique scent of Emperor Yongjia lingered on her nose. Images of bodies under clothes flashed through her mind, and she felt both expectant and nervous.

But at this moment, Zhu Wanxi's voice came from outside.

Emperor Yongjia put down his hand and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Wanxi came in with sweat on his face, lowering his head and not daring to look around, "Your Majesty, Concubine Ning's people are here."

These past few days, the emperor's favor towards his concubines was like a conflict, and something happened from time to time. Every time Zhu Wanxi pushed the door in, thinking of ruining the emperor's good deeds, she cursed in her heart and begged heaven and earth not to let it happen again.

Hearing that it was Concubine Ning Shu's people, Emperor Yongjia raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Cairen had no meat at his mouth, so he stood aside in silence and looked very unhappy.

Zhu Wanxi felt that he was having a hard time being a human being. He wiped his sweat and said, "Concubine Ning's people said that Concubine Ning is not feeling well. Your Majesty, please go over and take a look."

Concubine Ning Shu had never used such an excuse to win favor, so Emperor Yongjia was not unhappy when he heard it.

Instead, he immediately put down his hands and tied his belt. When Zhou Cairen saw this, his heart was knotted.

But it was useless, because Emperor Yongjia didn't say a word to her. In fact, the emperor didn't need to explain anything to her. He strode out and said, "Go to Changxin Palace."

Zhou Cairen hid his hands in his sleeves and twisted them so hard that his arms turned white before he could vent his emotions.

She had been planning and waiting for so long, but just because of a word from Concubine Ning Shu, the emperor was seduced away!
