Chapter 376: The Concubine Who Was Buried with the Emperor VS The Ruthless and Romantic Emperor 24
Seeing Shu Meiren's sad face, Bi Yuan rolled her eyes and suggested, "My lady, I think you can go and learn from Qin Guiren. Although Qin Guiren was originally a palace maid, the emperor went to her for two consecutive days, which shows that Qin Guiren must have her own uniqueness."
Seeing that the young lady's eyes turned to her, she said again: "Young lady, you live so close to Concubine Qin, why don't you go out more often and get close to Concubine Qin? Perhaps you can learn some ways to gain favor from her, and maybe you can even meet the emperor by chance."
Lady Shu frowned slightly, looking hesitant, "Will it seem too deliberate for me to do this? Besides, if I visit the Emperor while he is at Lady Qin's place, I'm afraid it will upset Lady Qin."
Bi Yuan quickly explained, "My lady, we can choose an appropriate time. For example, we can send some small gifts to show our appreciation, or find an excuse to ask for advice. Concubine Qin is in favor now, and she will not easily reject your kindness. And even if the emperor is there, as long as you behave in a generous manner, Concubine Qin will not be disgusted, and you may even leave a good impression on the emperor."
The young lady's appearance is actually not inferior to that of Miao Cairen, and her personality is also as gentle as water. It's a pity that she is too reserved and too passive, which leads to her never being favored.
Concubine Shu looked thoughtful. She felt that what Bi Yuan said made sense. She was indeed too passive. She just sat in the room every day waiting for the emperor to flip the card. If she didn't do anything, the emperor would naturally not remember her.
Thinking about it, she nodded slightly, "What you said seems to make some sense. Then let's plan it carefully and find a suitable time to visit Concubine Qin. But we must act cautiously and must not be too ostentatious to avoid criticism."
No one knew about the conversation between the master and servant in the west hall.
In the courtyard of the rear hall, a few beautiful flowers swayed gently in the night breeze, as if mocking the current desolation of the once arrogant and talented Miao.
Liu Baolin sat on the couch, gently waving a round fan in his hand, and said to the palace maid beside him: "This wonderful talent usually relied on her favor to be arrogant and domineering. Now she has ended up like this, which is really gratifying."
The maid Cai He quickly agreed: "My lady is right. Her arrogant look has long been annoying."
Qian Changzai was also chatting with her maids in the house.
Inside the house, the bright moonlight shines through the window lattice, casting a silver glow.
"Humph, when she was in favor, she was always giving us a hard time. Now that she is disliked by the emperor, let's see how arrogant she will be in the future."
The palace maid Zhu'er said with a smile: "My lady, now our Yihe Palace is finally a lot quieter."
Qian Changzai narrowed his eyes and said bitterly, "Go find out where Miao Cairen has been moved to. I want that woman to live a life worse than death."
When Miao Cairen was in favor, she didn't dare to resist and could only let that bitch bully her.
Now that bitch has been abandoned by the Emperor and moved to a place where he can't see her, which is equivalent to being banished to the cold palace.
Naturally, she had nothing to worry about. How could she not retaliate severely?
Zhu Er also knew how much her master hated Miao Cairen, so she quickly responded, "Don't worry, my lady, I will go and find out right away, and I will definitely make Miao Cairen's life a living hell."
Zhou agreed and it was the same over there. The candlelight in the room flickered, but it couldn't warm the hatred in her heart.
While she was relieved, she laughed at Miao Cairen in the house.
Afterwards, she ordered the palace maids around her to inquire about Miao Cairen's residence. Her purpose was the same as Qian Changzai's, to make Miao Cai's life a living hell.
It can be seen that he had been bullied by Miao Cairen many times in the past and hated her very much.
Inside the east hall, the night is as dark as water. The moonlight shines into the hall through the half-open carved window panes, outlining silvery shadows on the ground, like a quiet painting.
Yu Yao personally made a pot of tea for Emperor Jing, with a smile on her face, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for trusting me and making the decision for me.
This dog emperor didn't even ask any questions, he just moved the talented woman out and moved her to a place where she couldn't be seen. It was really cool and made her very happy.
Emperor Jing chuckled, took the tea from her hand, took a sip, and looked at her teasingly, "Haha, you look like a child who got candy. Are you so happy that the talented person was moved away?"
She glanced at him, snorted tenderly, and complained to the man without any hesitation, pouting, "Your Majesty, you don't know how annoying that Miao Cairen is. On the first day I moved in here, that Miao Cairen came to cause trouble. Your Majesty also knows what happened afterwards. Your Majesty clearly came to see me, but Miao Cairen acted like that. Naturally, I don't like her."
Emperor Jing did not think there was anything wrong with her complaining. Instead, he thought she was being very genuine. He chuckled and could not help but pinch the soft flesh on her face. "How could I not know that my beloved concubine is such a jealous person?"
Her face was slightly red, and she turned her head away. "I am not a jealous person. I don't care how Concubine Miao seduced the emperor when she was not around. But Concubine Miao acted like that several times when the emperor came to see me. Of course, I am unhappy."
Emperor Jing looked at the shy beauty, her eyes sparkling with watery light, which seemed coquettish and angry. Under the light of the candlelight, she looked infinitely charming.
He is not the kind of person who would let himself be wronged, his Adam's apple rolled.
He put the teacup in his hand aside and waved away the palace servants who were serving him.
He pulled with his big hands and pressed Yu Yao onto the couch, his eyes deep.
emperor"
The time had come for her to "whore" the dog emperor again, and she felt a little excited.
But then, I thought about how the Dog Emperor's legs became weak last night and he was obviously very weak.
Her face fell again, and she asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, are you okay today?"
Emperor Jing's face darkened, and he glared at her fiercely, his tone filled with anger, "My beloved concubine, are you looking down on me? Today I will make sure you know how powerful I am."
After saying that, he leaned over and kissed her.
Yu Yao curled her lips into a smile, and put her hands around the man's neck, filling the room with a spring breeze.
Emperor Jing made her experience what power was.
She had no strength left in her body and fainted at the end.
When Emperor Jing saw that she had fainted, he chuckled, "What a goblin."
After he finished speaking, he carried her to wash, wiped her body, put on clothes, and then fell asleep tiredly in her arms.
In Yingyue Palace, the candlelight flickered and the atmosphere was depressing.
Outside the window, the night was as dark as ink, with only a few sparse stars twinkling faintly. When Concubine Li learned that the emperor did not turn over the cards tonight, but went to Qin Guiren's place again, she was immediately furious and lost her temper, and the porcelain was broken all over the floor.
"Bitch, that bitch again."
Concubine Li was so angry that she covered her chest and fell on the couch. It was obvious that the Emperor went to Yihe Palace, which made her more uncomfortable than if the Emperor had not called her card.
The people in the hall were silent and dared not respond.
After the anger in Concubine Li calmed down a little, she looked at Cuiwei who was kneeling on the ground beside her and asked coldly, "Didn't I tell you to ask Anhai to suppress that bitch's green card? Why did the emperor go to that bitch's palace?"
Cuiwei knelt on the ground, trembling with fear on her face.
Her face turned pale as she said, "Your Majesty, An Hai did follow your instructions and did not put Concubine Qin's green card up. It was when the Emperor turned over the cards at night that he did not see Concubine Qin's green card, so he asked what happened. I don't know what happened in between, but I only heard that the Emperor got very angry and An Hai was kicked by the Emperor. He almost lost his job in the Jingshifang."
"Humph, this Concubine Qin is really resourceful. She can make the Emperor care about her so much."
Concubine Li gritted her teeth, her heart filled with jealousy and anger.
"Go and find out for me what method this Concubine Qin used to seduce the emperor. Also, that An Hai is a useless guy who can't even handle such a small matter."
Concubine Li said fiercely.
Cuiwei quickly responded, "Yes, Madam, I will do it right away."
Having said that, he hurriedly retreated.
Many people were destined to remain awake that night, and Zhenfei was one of them.
Yu Yao served in the emperor's bedchamber for five consecutive days, and her honor and favor were almost equal to those of Concubine Li and Concubine Zhen.
Back in the Eastern Palace period, when Concubine Li and Concubine Zhen first entered the Eastern Palace, they also slept with the emperor for five consecutive days.
Now, even the Queen and Concubine Yu began to feel restless.
There are two favorite concubines in the palace, Concubine Li and Concubine Zhen, which is enough to give them a headache. If there is another Concubine Qin, will others be able to survive?
Everyone in the harem was watching to see if the emperor would continue to favor her and break the record of Li Fei and Zhen Fei in the number of days they slept with her.
Yu Yao also knew that she couldn't continue to serve the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber, otherwise the women in the imperial harem would probably eat her.
Although she was not afraid, she did not want to cause trouble. Besides, this did not conform to her idea of giving up.
On the fifth night, when she went to sleep with him, she pretended to be unable to do it.
She lay on top of Emperor Jing, panting slightly, her expression showing fatigue. "Your Majesty, I am grateful for your kindness these days, but I also know that there are many sisters in the harem, and every sister is looking forward to seeing you. Although I am greedy for you, I don't want to cause unrest in the harem and hurt the harmony between the sisters."
When Emperor Jing heard this, a hint of surprise and admiration flashed in his eyes. He gently stroked her smooth back, with a little sweat on his face, and said with a curled lip: "My beloved concubine is thoughtful and considerate of the overall situation. It is my good fortune. But doting on you is what I want, you don't have to worry about it."
She shook her head slightly, with a gentle smile on her lips, "Your Majesty's kindness, I will remember it in my heart. However, I have just entered the palace, and I still have many rules and etiquette to learn. In addition, I am not feeling well, so I am afraid that I will not be able to receive your grace again. I would like to share this grace with you sisters temporarily, and when I have recovered properly, I will accompany your Majesty again, okay?"
Emperor Jing glanced at her. This woman, Xiaoqi, had been serving him for almost a month without complaining about feeling unwell.
It's only been a few days, but he told himself that he was not feeling well.
His mind suddenly turned and he understood her situation. He knew that she wanted to protect herself. Although he was still unsatisfied, he did not want to embarrass her.
"In that case, I'll obey you. Go to sleep." He patted her back gently and hugged her to sleep.
On the sixth day, Emperor Jing did not turn over Yu Yao's name card again, but went to Zhenfei's palace and slept with her for five consecutive days.
The palace maids secretly sighed that Concubine Zhen was still as favored as ever.
Zhenfei was in high spirits, and the gloom of the previous few days was swept away, and she was in a very good mood.
Just when everyone thought that the emperor would turn over Concubine Li's card, the emperor went to Guanju Palace, Concubine Yu's residence, stayed there for two days, and then left.
After that came Concubine Yue, Concubine Chun, and Concubine Rong, each with two days.
Ning Zhaoyi and Wen Zhaoyuan each had one day.
Emperor Jingdi then replaced several concubines of lower rank, and by the end of the month, he had replaced Yu Yao's concubines for several days.
Throughout the entire month, Yu Yao had the most sleepovers, followed by Concubine Zhen, Concubine Yu third, and Concubine Yue, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Chun third.
The Queen also has two days, the first and fifteenth.
On the contrary, the originally most favored Concubine Li did not have a single day.
No matter how dumb the concubines in the harem were, they knew that Concubine Li had fallen out of favor.
Although no one knows how Concubine Li offended the emperor, this is a good thing for the concubines in the harem.
In Guanju Palace, the air was filled with the scent of incense, and sunlight shone through the window lattices onto the ground, creating a soft halo.
Concubine Yu was in a very good mood. She laughed for several days in the palace. She laughed so hard that tears came out and her expression was full of gloating.
"I don't know what Concubine Li did to displease my cousin. She deserves to be out of favor now."
