Chapter 383: The Concubine Who Was Buried with the Emperor VS The Ruthless and Romantic Emperor 31
Liuli looked at her young mistress's calm demeanor, feeling both admiration and worry.

I admire the fact that the young lady can maintain such a calm mind in this treacherous harem, but I am worried that her future will be full of uncertainties because of these new women entering the palace.

"My lady, are you really not worried that Liu Mengyan will harm you after gaining the emperor's favor?"

Liuli couldn't help it after all and asked softly.

Yu Yao gently put down the teacup, shook her head slightly and said, "Liuli, in this harem, being favored or not is just a matter of a moment. If I worry about these things all day long, how can I rest assured to take care of my baby? Not to mention whether Liu Mengyan can really be favored for a long time, even if she is favored, I have my own way of survival."

A breeze blew past the window, ruffling her hair, and her eyes were firm and calm.

As the days passed, the draft soon ended.

In the imperial study, sunlight shines in through the carved window lattices, adding a touch of warmth to the quaint interior.

The air was filled with the faint scent of ink and ambergris.

Emperor Jing was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was extraordinarily handsome. He leaned lazily on the back of a chair, exuding the majesty and romantic temperament of an emperor, and was flipping through memorials nonchalantly.

The queen was dressed in a gorgeous phoenix robe and walked towards them with graceful manners, light steps and a beautiful face.

She bowed slightly, opened her red lips, and said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, I have drawn up a list of the positions and residences of the new concubines entering the palace. Please review it."

Emperor Jing put down the memorial, reached out to take the list, and examined it one by one.

When his eyes fell on the three words "Liu Mengyan", he was slightly startled, and the beautiful woman who looked like a fairy from heaven during the talent show emerged in his mind.

"Liu Mengyan, daughter of the prefect of Suzhou, is seventeen years old. Her initial status is planned to be a beauty, and she will live in the back hall of Yihe Palace."

When Emperor Jing saw the label "The rear hall of Yihe Palace", his brows slightly frowned.

Yao'er lived in Yihe Palace and was pregnant. The Queen arranged the extremely beautiful Liu Mengyan to live there, saying that she had no hidden intentions, but he didn't believe it.

He took a deep look at the Queen. Was she planning to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers?

That’s a good plan.

"The Queen's arrangements are very thoughtful, but..."

There was a subtle hint of meaning in Emperor Jing's words, "Yihe Palace is not suitable for Mengyan's residence."

The Queen's heart tightened when she heard this, but her face remained calm. She bowed slightly and said softly, "I also considered that the Yihe Palace is spacious and quiet, and the host, Concubine Zhuang, is also very kind. I didn't expect that the newcomer would be able to adapt well to life in the palace.

Of course, Liu Mengyan was deliberately arranged by her to go to Yihe Palace. The purpose was naturally to share the favor of Concubine Qin.

Both of them are extremely beautiful and live together. They will definitely fight for favor in the future.

Unfortunately, the emperor doesn't seem to agree.

"Yihe Palace is too remote. How can such a beautiful woman like Mengyan live so far away?"

Emperor Jing's eyes flashed with deep meaning, and he curled his lips and said, "I remember that the side hall of the Royal Concubine's Guanju Palace is still empty. Mengyan should move there to live, so that she can keep my cousin company. In addition, her status should be changed to a noble lady, and she should be given a title, Shu, to show her favor."

He called her Mengyan affectionately all the time, almost making the queen sick.

Not only was her position changed, but she was also granted a title. She hasn't even gone to bed with the emperor yet, but she's already seducing him like this. What would happen if she went to bed with him?
The Queen felt more and more disgusted with Liu Mengyan, but when she thought about Liu Mengyan being arranged to live in Concubine Yu's Guanju Palace, she felt much better.

Although I failed to disgust Concubine Qin, it's good that I was able to disgust that bitch Concubine Yu.

"As for Su Wan'er, she is also a talented woman from Jiangnan, so she should also be given a title, Wan, as a talented person, and live in Concubine Lu's Yingyue Palace."

Emperor Jing spoke again in a low voice.

Concubine Lu was the Concubine Li who was originally stripped of her title.

The queen was slightly startled. She did not expect the emperor to make such an arrangement. Unable to figure out what the emperor was thinking, she did not say anything and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it immediately."

After the Queen bowed and left, the imperial study returned to peace.

Emperor Jing leaned back on the dragon throne, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his thoughts drifted to the various forces in the harem, with a sneer on his face.

Afterwards, he continued to deal with memorials.

Guanju Palace.

When Concubine Yu heard that the stunningly beautiful Liu Mengyan was actually arranged to live in her own palace, she became so angry that her eyebrows raised and her face looked extremely ugly.

She slammed the table and cursed angrily: "Liu Mengyan is so favored even before she has served in the emperor's bedchamber. The old woman, the queen, actually arranged her to Guanju Palace. It is obvious that she is deliberately making things difficult for me." She just thought that the queen was deliberately disgusting her and never thought that this was the emperor's intention.

The maid Furong consoled her, "Your Majesty, please calm down and don't let your body get hurt. Liu Mengyan is just a new noble lady in the palace, she would not dare to offend you easily."

Imperial Concubine Yu snorted coldly: "Hmph, she'd better be sensible. If she dares to be disrespectful, I will not let her off easily."

In Yingyue Palace, Concubine Lu looked very unhappy when she learned that the talented woman from Jiangnan, Su Wan'er, was assigned to her place.

"The Queen is clearly trying to suppress me on purpose. I was first ignored by the Emperor, and then my title was stripped. My situation was already difficult, and now a talented person is being forced in. I'm sure they want to make my Yingyue Palace restless."

Concubine Lu paced back and forth, still furious.

Yu Yao didn’t know how angry Guanju Palace and Yingyue Palace were, but she felt quite good that no new people came to Yihe Palace.

The newlyweds entered the palace one after another, lived in their respective residences, and began to get familiar with the rules and life in the palace.

The old concubines were also secretly observing these new faces, but most of them focused their attention on Liu Mengyan and Su Wan'er.

Especially Liu Mengyan, who attracted a lot of attention when she entered the palace and became the focus of discussion in the harem.

Some concubines were envious of her, and some were thinking about how to form an alliance with her and gain a foothold in the harem together.

After entering the palace, the first night Emperor Jingdi flipped over the name card of Concubine Shu, that is, Liu Mengyan. It turns out that men are visual animals.

This night, many people were destined to remain unable to sleep.

Yu Yao guessed that Concubine Yu was one of them.

I don’t know what the dog emperor was thinking, he actually let Liu Mengyan live in Concubine Yu’s palace.

She originally thought that it was arranged by the Queen, but later when she was chatting with the system, the system told her that it was the Dog Emperor's intention.

After all, Concubine Yu was the cousin of Emperor Jing. It was easy to imagine how uncomfortable Concubine Yu would feel if such a great beauty was sent to her palace.

I have to watch Concubine Shu and the dog emperor being affectionate every day. I don't know how upset I am.

However, none of this had anything to do with Yu Yao, and she slept soundly that night.

When new people entered the palace, the dog emperor would take turns to choose one person after another, and it would take at least a month to turn over the cards.

How could she even think of the old people in the harem?

The next day, when she went to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects, she met Concubine Shu Liu Mengyan.

It was just as the rumors said, with a stunning appearance, extraordinary looks, eyebrows as dark as distant ink, and hidden emotions in the flowing light.

She had a straight nose, rosy lips, skin as white as snow, long hair as black as ink, and a graceful figure, like the fairy Chang'e from Guanghan Palace descended to earth.

Her temperament is cool yet passionate, and her every frown and smile is captivating.

Yu Yao was slightly startled. Such a face was not uncommon in the world of cultivation, but in the mortal kingdom, such beautiful and fairy-like women were indeed rare.

Although her appearance is no worse than Liu Mengyan's, her family knows her own business and she looks like this because she took the beauty pill.

Unlike Liu Mengyan, who is naturally beautiful.

As soon as Liu Mengyan stepped into Fengyi Palace, she attracted everyone's attention.

But because of Yu Yao's beauty, although everyone was shocked by Liu Mengyan's beauty, they could still accept it, but jealousy was inevitable.

Wen Zhaoyuan quickly mocked, "Noble Lady Shu is indeed worthy of being the most beautiful woman in Suzhou. She is so favored just after entering the palace. How enviable!"

Although there was a smile on his face, his words were full of jealousy.

Ning Zhaoyi also echoed, "Yes, the appearance of Concubine Shu is comparable to that of Concubine Qin. I just don't know if she has the skills of Concubine Qin."

Yu Yao frowned slightly and looked at Ning Zhaoyi. If you want to bully Liu Mengyan, just bully Liu Mengyan. Why drag her out for no reason?
As expected, Liu Mengyan turned her gaze towards Yu Yao. She actually didn't know who Concubine Qin was, but after a quick glance around the whole hall, she could tell who was the most beautiful.

She looked at Yu Yao with a probing look in her eyes.

Yu Yao looked back calmly, without any emotion in her eyes.

When Wen Zhaoyuan saw Liu Mengyan's eyes fall on Yu Yao, she sneered and continued, "Noble Lady Shu, this Concubine Qin is the apple of the emperor's eye. The emperor even goes to Concubine Qin's palace when she has her period. Noble Lady Shu has just entered the palace, so you must seize the opportunity."
