Chapter 381: The Concubine Who Was Buried with the Emperor VS The Ruthless and Romantic Emperor 29
Yongfu Palace.

The sunlight shone through the carved window lattices onto Concubine Shu, who was sitting upright on a soft couch embroidering a brocade handkerchief.

When Concubine Shu heard the palace maid Mo Xiang report that Concubine Qin was canonized as Concubine Qin, the needlework in her hands paused slightly.

Then they continued to move back and forth in an orderly manner.

"There are so many new people in this harem. Soon there will be another new person entering. By then, will the emperor still remember me?"

Concubine Shu sighed softly, with a hint of emotion in her tone.

At the same time, news continued to come from various palaces, and everyone in the harem was talking about the newly promoted Concubine Qin.

Some people are thinking about how to make friends with her in order to gain more attention from the emperor.

Some people are secretly jealous and thinking about how to trip her up in the future.

The east hall of Yihe Hall.

Yu Yao was in a very calm mood. Apart from necessary greetings, she basically did not go out. She stayed in the house to take care of her pregnancy and kept the news a secret.

She was very careful with everything she ate, and had already cleaned out any unclean things.

Even when someone asked her to leave, she was always dismissed with the excuse that she was not feeling well.

This really made those who wanted to take advantage of her or ruin her popularity feel very angry.

Although Yu Yao was pregnant, Emperor Jing would still come to see her often, but they didn't do anything at night, they just stayed under the covers and chatted.

At first, Concubine Shu thought that she had attracted the emperor's attention and that the emperor would remember her and would summon her to sleep with him one day.

But after waiting for a long time, what came was the news that Concubine Qin was promoted to Concubine Jie.

No matter how good Shu Meiren's attitude was, she couldn't help feeling jealous.

When this person becomes jealous, he is bound to act inappropriately, and this often happens when Emperor Jing comes to the Yihe Palace.

Either they met by chance on the road, or they met the emperor when they went to the east hall to chat with Yu Yao.

Concubine Shu spoke gently, and in front of the emperor, every word she said was about her concern for Yu Yao.

This also made Emperor Jing have some impression of Concubine Shu.

Yu Yao saw it but didn't say anything.

She could understand Lady Shu's feelings, and she didn't care who the Dog Emperor slept with at night.

But Shu Meiren always appeared when she was getting close to the Dog Emperor, which was a bit too much and annoyed her.

Liuli was so angry that she yelled in the room, "My lady, this Lady Shu is too much. She came to our place to rob people."

She frowned slightly, but didn't care at all, "Liuli, don't be so impatient. I'm not feeling well right now, so who cares? Lady Shu is just eager to be favored."

Liuli was still very angry, "My lady, her behavior is really annoying."

Yu Yao shook her head slightly, "She is also a pitiful person. In the harem, not being favored is the least of her worries. If she can't have a child, she will be buried with the emperor after his death. Concubine Shu is doing this just to save her life."

This is also the reason why she was able to tolerate and not take action when Shu Meiren robbed someone and broke into her house.

If it were any other dimension, she would have taught him a lesson long ago.

Lady Shu still did not change her behavior, and Yu Yao was also very calm, watching coldly without doing anything.

That night, Emperor Jing finally favored Concubine Shu and went to her east palace in the middle of the night.

Perhaps the dog emperor couldn't bear it anymore at night, and because he was worried about her pregnancy, he couldn't touch her, so he quietly went to the west palace to favor Concubine Shu.

Yu Yao was very alert and woke up as soon as the Dog Emperor left her.

At that time, she thought that the dog emperor was going back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Later, after hearing Liuli's report, she realized that he went to Concubine Shu.

Liuli's face turned red with anger, and he yelled towards the west hall:
"This Shu Meiren is really shameless. She even seduced the emperor in the middle of the night. My lady, you are pregnant. How can the emperor do this? Shu Mei is so impatient that she is not afraid of being laughed at."

Yu Yao frowned slightly, watching Liuli lose her composure, and said softly, "Alright, stop scolding me. You know the emperor's character. I'm pregnant and can't sleep with him, so it's rare that he can come to accompany me at night."

She really thought so. The dog emperor was very romantic. It would be more painful for him not to touch a woman for a day than to kill him.

It is normal that one cannot help but secretly go to the west hall in the middle of the night.

Liuli was still angry, "My lady, although that is true, Lady Shu's behavior is really too much. Are you just going to tolerate it?"

Hearing this, she glanced at Liuli, curled her lips and said sarcastically: "Why should I endure it? Wait and see, the dog emperor will soon roll back obediently."

"Ah? What do you mean, young master? How come I don't understand?"

Liuli looked at her with confusion, she really didn't understand.

The emperor is currently having a great time with Concubine Shu in the west hall, why would he come back obediently?

Yu Yao smiled and said, "Concubine Shu is an old friend from the Eastern Palace. If she had any ability, how could she not be favored? Even the Emperor can't remember Concubine Shu?"

"Then how can you be sure that the emperor will come back soon?"

Liuli asked again in confusion.

Listening to Liuli's words, she smiled, her smile was meaningful, "Because Miss Shu doesn't know how to serve a man."

The Dog Emperor played very wildly, but Lady Shu was so introverted and shy that she couldn't handle it at all. She was probably so embarrassed that she couldn't serve him well.

"Ah" Liuli's face turned red instantly, and she finally understood what was going on.

"Okay, go to sleep."

Yu Yao glanced at Liuli’s flushed face, smiled happily, and let her go.

"Yes, my lord."

Liuli didn't say anything, nor did she continue to scold Lady Shu. Instead, she quickly retreated.

Sure enough, not long after, the Dog Emperor came out from the west hall with a dark and unhappy face.

He just didn't understand, they were both women, why were there such huge differences?

When he was pampering Lady Shu, he was just lying there like a dead fish, not even daring to make a sound. It was so boring.

What a waste of such a beautiful face.

Emperor Jing had a gloomy face and wanted to go directly back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, or go to a concubine's palace to cool off.

But thinking about the woman who was still sleeping in the east hall, for some reason, he suddenly felt guilty.

Thinking that she was still pregnant, she went back quietly, forbidding the palace servants to make any noise along the way.

He tiptoed back to the inner room on the east side of the hall, took off his outer robe, and lay down beside her.

The body smells of pleasant ambergris and the coolness of the night.

Yu Yao was not asleep, but pretended to be awakened and opened her eyes dazedly, "Your Majesty, where did you go just now? I thought you went home."

In my heart I felt disgusted, thinking it was a rotten cucumber, but I couldn't show it.

Emperor Jing's face froze, and he coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, "I just went to the bathroom at night, did I wake you up?"

Yu Yao sneered in her heart, but showed a concerned look on her face, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? Be careful not to catch a cold when you go to the toilet at night."

Emperor Jing looked at her concerned expression, and his heart moved. He reached out and held her in his arms, "Don't worry, Yao'er. I'm fine."

She leaned in the dog emperor's arms, feeling disgusted and resisting in her heart, but she had to pretend to be gentle, "Your Majesty, you work hard for state affairs day and night, please take care of your health. If you catch a cold, I will be distressed."

Emperor Jing was instantly moved, and held her hand tightly, "Yao'er is pregnant, and still cares about me so much, I am very happy."

Yu Yao smiled gently, "Your Majesty's kindness to me is as great as a mountain. It is also my heaven. I naturally care about you."

When it comes to coaxing men, she says it almost without thinking, without any sincerity at all.

It's become a habit.

Emperor Jing fondly scratched the tip of her nose, and there seemed to be ripples in his heart. He looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "You are the best at coaxing people with your mouth. You have made me very happy."

"How could this concubine try to deceive the emperor? Everything I said is true."

She smiled, leaned into Emperor Jing's arms, and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window lattices into the east hall.

Yu Yao woke up slowly, but found that Emperor Jing was no longer around.

She breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thankful for this moment of peace.

Liuli came in with toiletries, and seeing her master wake up, she said softly, "My lady, the emperor went to the morning court early in the morning."

She nodded and got up to wash up.

There have never been any secrets in the harem. The fact that the emperor went from her room to the west palace in the middle of the night was soon known to the people in the harem.

When Yu Yao went to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects in the morning, she was unsurprisingly bullied and ridiculed by all the concubines in the palace.

Fengyi Palace is magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings.

The concubines were either sitting or standing, with mockery or jealousy in their eyes.

Concubine Li spoke first, her voice sharp, "Oh, this Concubine Qin is really resourceful. The emperor left you in the middle of the night and went somewhere else."

Zhen Fei chuckled quietly on the side. Although she didn't say anything, the disdain in her eyes was obvious.

Before Shu Meiren came, she had been bullied and ridiculed by everyone, with tears in her eyes. Now she shrank like a quail egg, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible and not daring to make a sound.

Yu Yao looked calm and bowed respectfully, "Sisters, please forgive me for joking. How can we control the harem?"

She really doesn't care where the dog emperor goes.

Seeing her indifferent expression, the concubines became even more indignant.

Concubine Li snorted coldly, "Humph, you are really good at pretending."

Yu Yao was too lazy to respond to Concubine Li's provocation and went straight back to her seat.

The queen looked at the concubines' quarrel, frowned slightly, and said, "Okay, stop quarreling. This is not decent in Fengyi Palace."

The concubines finally quieted down, but the undercurrents in their eyes did not stop.

After paying respects, Yu Yao returned to the east side hall of Yihe Hall.

Liuli said angrily, "My lady, those people are too much. It was clearly the emperor's own behavior, but they are trying to bully you, my lady."

Yu Yao shook her head slightly: "Liuli, don't worry about it. There will be many more such things in the harem. We just need to do our best to protect ourselves and the baby in our belly."
