Chapter 32: Disfigured Palace Maid vs. Cold-blooded Emperor
Yu Yao happily accepted the reward, gave Eunuch Fu a thick purse, and then sent the man away with a smile.

Eunuch Fu left not long ago.

Concubine Rou brought Caiyue to Yuexian Palace.

"What is Concubine Rou doing in my palace?"

Yu Yao frowned, and although she was confused, she still went out to greet them.

As soon as she went out, she saw Concubine Rou walking in from the palace gate.

She was wearing a plain white yet exquisite palace dress, embroidered with a pattern of a vase with twined branches, which looked simple and innocent.

Her eyebrows were lightly drawn, her face was delicate, and her figure was extremely delicate, as if she would fall down if the wind blew.

A pair of watery eyes, as if filled with tears and affection, making people feel pity.

Then hold her in your arms and caress her well, not wanting to hurt her.

But there was a clarity and innocence in those tearful and affectionate eyes, as if she was ignorant of the affairs of the world.

Yu Yao finally understood why Ye Beichen liked Concubine Rou.

Such women are naturally easy to attract men's love and desire to protect them.

Not to mention that Ye Beichen is a man, even she, as a woman, was a little afraid to touch Concubine Rou.

It's really fragile, so fragile that it seems like it will break at the slightest touch.

She was very skeptical. How could Concubine Rou, who was so fragile, serve Ye Beichen at night?
Yu Yao knew very well how good Ye Beichen was in this aspect.

Someone who never feels tired from working at night till dawn.

He could even go to court the next day in high spirits and continue to handle official business.

With a body like Concubine Rou, can she bear it?
Yu Yao's thoughts raced through her mind, and she quickly collected her thoughts and stepped forward to pay her respects. "Your Highness, I greet you. May you live in peace and happiness!"

Concubine Rou stopped in front of Yu Yao and looked at her carefully.

She was wearing a light yellow dress, her face was as white as goose fat, her lips were like cherry blossoms, her eyebrows were like ink paintings, and her spirit was like autumn water.

There is a hint of agility and fairy-like spirit in her charming delicacy, which is so pure and beautiful that it really lives up to the name of this palace, "Yuexian".

Coupled with the other party's title "Yao".

Concubine Rou's eyes darkened, and her long sharp nails dug into her flesh, but she didn't feel any pain.

Chen Lang, oh Chen Lang, do you mistake this bitch for a fairy from Yao Chi?
Just because of this bitch, is she worthy?

There was a hint of hatred in her eyes, but she concealed it well.

She remembered this woman and had seen her before.

She was originally a maid in Concubine Zhao's palace. Because of saving Concubine Zhao, her face was disfigured and there was a thick scar on her face.

Therefore, Concubine Rou had a deep impression of Yu Yao.

But I'll see you again this time.

The scar on the other person's face has disappeared, but if you look closely, you can still see a faint mark, but it is not obvious.

If you don't pay attention, you won't notice it at all.

It will no longer affect your appearance.

These thoughts lasted only a moment, and Concubine Rou withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "Get up!"

Yu Yao naturally noticed the look in Concubine Rou's eyes, but she didn't care.

After hearing what the other person said, he stood up.

Before she could speak, Imperial Concubine Rou suddenly said, "I heard that the Emperor had given a new sister, and I was curious, so I couldn't help but come over to take a look!"

Yu Yao frowned and said nothing, mainly because she didn't know how to respond.

The other party was a first-rank imperial concubine, while she was only a second-rank imperial concubine, two levels higher than her.

No matter how she responded to this, it was wrong, so she simply kept silent.

Logically, she should have gone in and sat with Concubine Jinrou, but Yu Yao was unwilling to do so.

Concubine Rou also knew that the other party would not invite her in to sit down, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

"I don't know what you like, so I just picked one at random. Do you like it, sister?" Then he ordered Caiyue to present the things he had prepared in advance.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Since someone offered a gift on his own initiative, Yu Yao couldn't refuse it.

"Thank you, Madam Concubine!"

After saying that, he took the box that Caiyue handed over.

The box had been opened, and Yu Yao saw the item inside at a glance. It was a box of golden mule ink.

Golden mule black is rare, and only favored concubines in the harem have it, and it has to be rewarded by the emperor.

This gift is also valuable.

But no matter how precious it is, Yu Yao would not use it since it was given by Concubine Rou. Who knows what the other party will add to it.

She closed the box containing the golden mule ink and handed it to Qingtan beside her.

"Yuexian Palace is the residence of the late Emperor's Imperial Concubine Yi. I heard it is very spacious and magnificent. The palace gates have always been closed before, so I have not been able to see it. I wonder if Sister Yaofei can take me in to have a look?"

Concubine Rou looked towards the peach blossom forest with a longing look in her eyes, and suddenly said to Yu Yao.

Yu Yao was stunned for a moment and looked at Concubine Rou. She wanted to visit her palace?
She wasn't sure what Concubine Rou was planning, but since she had asked and given the gift first, she couldn't refuse.

But he was afraid that Concubine Rou might have something unexpected waiting for him, so he was a little hesitant to agree.

"Your Highness, if you want to see it, of course you can!"

Yu Yao smiled slightly, and said to Qingyu beside her: "Qingyu, why don't you take the imperial concubine in to take a look!"

In short, it is impossible to ask her to take Concubine Rou on a tour in person. This woman is so fragile that she might sprain her ankle or fall into the water on the way.

Her plan was to never touch this woman.

"Yes, madam!"

Qingyu, who was standing by, came over and respectfully brushed her body towards Imperial Concubine Rou, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, please follow me!"

Then he made a gesture of invitation.

Concubine Rou's face froze. She never thought that this bitch would let a slave girl take her on a tour.

She is a noble concubine. She came to congratulate me personally and brought me generous gifts. Shouldn't she take me on a tour in person?
And he could also find an opportunity to frame this bitch so that Chen Lang could see how vicious this woman was.

Imperial Concubine Rou did not even look at Qingyu, but gritted her teeth and said, "No need, I suddenly feel a little unwell, goodbye!"

Without waiting for Yu Yao's answer, he hurried away with Caiyue.

Yu Yao laughed sarcastically and thought to herself: This woman really has something tricky waiting for me.

But he didn't say anything and was about to turn around and go in.

In a blink of an eye, another person came, it was Nanny Qiu from the Cining Palace.

When Yu Yao saw Nanny Qiu appear in Yuexian Palace, she felt sick all over.

Looking at the situation, you can tell that the Queen Mother wants to punish her.

She quietly instructed Qingtan beside her to invite Ye Beichen, and then she walked forward to greet Nanny Qiu.

"This old servant greets the Queen Consort Yao!"

When Aunt Qiu saw Yu Yao, she bowed disrespectfully, brushed her body slightly, and got up by herself without waiting for Yu Yao to call her.

Yu Yao didn't have the energy to argue about etiquette with the other party at the moment, so she asked, "I wonder if Aunt Qiu has any instructions for you, Queen Mother?"

Qiu Yun glanced at Yu Yao and said arrogantly, "The Queen Mother wants to see you, so please follow me."

That attitude and tone were as if Yu Yao was a criminal, which made her feel very unhappy.

He became more and more certain that the Queen Mother wanted to punish him.

Yu Yao touched her belly inconspicuously, thinking that she had been pregnant for a month.

It should be possible to get the pulse, but it's still early and not a good time to explode.

We’ll see when the time comes. If we really can’t handle it, we’ll find another opportunity to expose it.

Anyway, it was impossible to prick her with a needle.
