Chapter 271: Beautiful Killer VS Undefeated War God Prince 14
Mingxiyuan

The spring sunshine shines through the carved wooden windows, dappled onto the inner room draped with dancing gauze, adding a touch of warmth to this quaint space.

Yu Yao slowly opened her eyes. The sunlight was already shining into the room. It was almost noon.

She frowned slightly and was about to sit up when she felt a sharp pain there.

Every world has to go through the pain of losing virginity, which is really terrible.

Maybe men are really gifted in this regard. Except for some dissatisfaction in the beginning, they are very satisfied afterwards.

"Girl, you are finally awake."

Xiangling pushed the door open and walked in, holding a basin of warm water in her hand. Seeing Yu Yao wake up, she quickly put down the basin and came over to support her.

Seeing that her body was red and blue, as if she had been abused, her eyes instantly turned red and she couldn't help crying out loud.

"Girl, the prince...how could he do this to you?"

Xiangling wiped her eyes with her sleeve while crying, feeling so distressed.

Yu Yao was a little confused at first, but after she realized what was happening, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and comforted her: "Silly girl, don't cry. This is the prince's love for me, you should be happy for me."

She felt that she should give this girl a thorough explanation later. How could she not even understand these things?
"Really..." Xiangling was suspicious. How could doting make someone become like this?
This is too scary.

When she was a child, Aunt Wang, who lived next door to her, often did this.

She cried and screamed at night, but during the day, she looked very happy.

She also tells everyone that her husband is a great man.

Xiangling really doesn’t understand. Are these people masochists?
She looked at Yu Yao with strange eyes. Her master had been crying and screaming last night, and her voice was so loud that the whole Mingxi Courtyard could hear it.

Xiangling felt that her master was a masochist just like Aunt Wang who lived next door to her.

Yu Yao felt a little uncomfortable with Xiang Ling's strange gaze, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"nothing."

Xiangling didn't cry, but she felt that it was not good to criticize her master in this way. Seeing the marks on her body, she said worriedly: "I will find some medicine for you to wipe."

Yu Yao hurriedly stopped him and shook her head slightly, "No, it will disappear on its own in a while. Prepare some hot water for me. I want to take a bath."

"Okay, Master, wait a moment."

Xiangling responded and quickly set up the bathtub.

Soon, a faint scent of roses filled the entire room.

Behind the screen, there is a large and exquisite bathtub, with petals of various colors floating on the water, red and pink...

The hot steam blurred the surroundings, adding a bit of beauty.

Yu Yao took off her clothes, immersed her body in the water, squinted her eyes, and took a comfortable bath.

Xiangling carefully cleaned her up and said, "My master, Eunuch Li just came to tell me that the prince has appointed you as a concubine and that there are many rewards. I saw that my master was still asleep, so I accepted the rewards for you."

Yu Yao was happy to hear this. Although a concubine was not as good as a side concubine, she was still a master in the palace and her status was much higher than that of a concubine.

Even if a concubine gave birth to a child, she could not raise the child herself.

But a concubine is indeed qualified to support herself.

With the status of concubine, she felt she could have a baby without any worries.

While Xiangling was not paying attention, she secretly swallowed three fertility pills.

She originally wanted to take the Dragon and Phoenix Pill, but she thought that Xuanyuan Cheng was a prince, held military power, and had a high prestige in Jing State.

If she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, I'm afraid the emperor would be wary.

But she was impatient to give birth to one baby after another, so she simply swallowed three fertility pills.

After washing, she came out of the bathtub and changed into a simple and elegant set of clothes.

Standing in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the exotic yet extremely beautiful face in the mirror, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth.

Xiangling wrung her hair dry and tied it into a lazy and elegant bun. An exquisite lotus hairpin was inserted diagonally into the bun, swaying gracefully.

She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, stroked her hair, and thought she looked pretty good, so she went to the outer room for lunch.

The lunch was rich and exquisite, with an enticing aroma that went straight into her nose.

Yu Yao had been hungry for a long time, so she sat down to eat naturally, and she ate with great relish.

At this time, there were undercurrents in the backyard of the Prince of Qin's Mansion.

Those concubines who had never slept with the emperor were all jealous when they heard that Yu Yao not only slept with him last night, but also became a concubine and moved into Mingxi Courtyard.

It turned out that the prince was in good health. The reason why he had not visited them or come to their courtyard was that he just looked down on them.

When this thought came out, the women who did not sleep with the emperor became very sad and shed tears secretly.

Evening Fragrance Hall.

Wu Lingyan sat alone in front of the bronze mirror, tightly holding a faded pearl flower in her hand. She looked at her haggard self in the mirror with empty eyes, feeling mixed emotions.

In recent days, the wind direction in the palace suddenly changed. Concubine Yu's name spread to every corner of the palace overnight like peach blossoms blooming in spring.

Not only did this woman succeed in sleeping with the prince, she was also granted the position of concubine by the prince and moved to Mingxi Courtyard, where flowers bloomed and the sun was shining, which formed a sharp contrast with the gloom in the Xiangtang that night.

"A dancer from the Western Regions, a lowly thing, is she qualified to serve the prince?"

Jealousy spread in Wu Lingyan's heart like a poisonous snake. She stood up angrily while cursing, trying to find something to vent her anger.

But he was shocked to find that the room was already empty, without even a decent piece of porcelain.

Since the day she entered the palace, she had never served the prince in bed, and the prince never came to her Wanxiang Hall, as if she did not exist in the backyard at all.

All the servants in the mansion were snobbish. Seeing that she had not been favored for a long time, their attitude became worse and worse.

Before Yu Yao came to the palace, no one had any favors, so no one felt anything.

Although the food, clothing and other necessities are not particularly good, they are not bad either.

But ever since that bitch entered the palace, she clearly felt the difference.

The servants became less and less enthusiastic about her, their attitude became colder and colder, and the food became worse and worse day by day.

As for the things in the house, if anything was missing, she would not buy any more.

She went to the warehouse several times to urge them, but there was still no response.

Looking at the empty room with few pieces of furniture, Wu Lingyan burst into tears sadly.

But no one comforted her, as her only personal maid, Xiangcai, had been executed.

The eunuch Li Fu seemed to be unaware of it and had no intention of sending anyone to serve her.

As there was no maid to serve, Wu Lingyan had to go to the kitchen to pick up the meal herself.

Along the way, the maids' whispers made her feel embarrassed.

She bit her lip and walked forward in silence, trying not to listen to those voices.

"Look, Concubine Wu, she used to be so arrogant because she was pretty and was sent to the palace by the Queen Mother. But she didn't have the Prince's love, so now she is alone and helpless, isn't she?"

"That's right. Concubine Yu of Mingxi Court is the one who is truly favored. I heard that the prince bestowed a lot of rare toys on her today."

These words, word by word, were clearly heard by Wu Lingyan.

She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she forced herself to hold back her tears.

It's not that she didn't think about vying for favor, but the prince didn't like her at all, and no matter how she flattered him, it was useless.

Wu Lingyan took the cold food back to Wanxiang Hall. Looking at the cold and greasy food, she had no appetite at all.

But if I don't eat, I'm really hungry.

I could only force myself to eat it.

She ate while shedding tears, thinking that she was a daughter of an official family and her father was at least a Beijing official, a fourth-rank official in the imperial court. How could she have ended up like this?
Wu Lingyan lay on the table and cried, she was so heartbroken that her eyes were swollen like walnuts.

Suddenly, she raised her head and a thought flashed through her mind that she was given to the prince by the Queen Mother herself.

Perhaps, the Queen Mother can save herself.

"Oh, by the way, let's go find the Queen Mother. She will definitely help me."

Wu Lingyan's eyes flashed with surprise and she quickly wiped away her tears.

But the palace was heavily guarded, and even she, a concubine, could not go out, let alone enter the palace to see the empress dowager.

She thought of the oldest nanny in the palace.

She remembered that this old nanny was specially assigned by the Queen Mother to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to take care of the prince's backyard.

The Prince of Qin's Mansion doesn't have a hostess now, so someone is definitely needed to take care of it.

With an idea in mind, he decided to ask the old lady for help.

The next morning, Wu Lingyan prepared a small gift, knelt humbly in front of the old lady, and told her everything she wanted.

The old nanny saw that she looked sad, and thought that Wu Lingyan was indeed granted entry into the Prince of Qin's Mansion by the Queen Mother, and that the Queen Mother might be willing to help her. After hesitating for a moment, she agreed to go to the palace to deliver the message for her.

Wu Lingyan left with many thanks.

The old nanny also entered the palace soon.

Inside the Cining Palace, the flickering candlelight illuminated the empress dowager's weathered yet still majestic face.

The night outside the window was as dark as ink and everything was silent. Only the occasional whispers from inside the hall broke the tranquility of the night.

The Queen Mother leaned lightly on the soft couch, playing with a string of warm jade beads in her hands, her eyes revealing a hint of subtle fatigue and worry.

At this time, an elderly maid hurried into the hall.

She looked anxious as she glanced at the Queen Mother leaning on the couch and reported respectfully, "Queen Mother, the young lady of the Wu family who was originally granted to the Prince of Qin's Palace by you has never been favored. Perhaps she is having a hard time. I would like to ask you to make a decision."

The Queen Mother looked at the old maid with a flash of impatience, and scolded, "Useless thing, now that you have entered the Qin Palace, you are a member of the Qin Palace. How can I interfere with her honor and disgrace? If you don't even have this little ability, what's the point of staying in the palace?"

After saying this, the Queen Mother waved her hand, signaling the nanny to leave, showing that she didn't care at all.

In her opinion, a woman who displeases her son is like a fallen flower in the palace, and will eventually wither.

If you want to blame someone, blame her own incompetence.
