Light Dance Jiajing

The next ones to sleep with the emperor were Su Rui and Li Yingying. The harem was immediately in an uproar. It was fine that they were good friends with Meng'er, but how come they even had all the sleepovers because of this relationship? Moreover, the emperor did not decide who would sleep with the emperor, as the princess even had the final say. Should Meng'er, as a daughter, have the final say? But facts are facts. If Meng'er did not choose the cards for the emperor, the emperor would be content to play the silent role. But Meng'er was too partial. If he chose the cards again, it would still be Su Rui and Li Yingying.

So the harem was collectively furious. The women gathered together in indignation, and all wanted others to raise the banner of overthrowing Meng'er, but no one was stupid enough to jump out to be cannon fodder. They each had their own little plans, were not united, and could not think of a good solution, so they all used strange tricks. For a while, the threshold of Changchun Palace was broken down. Jewelry, curios, and all kinds of valuable items were sent to Meng'er's room. If Meng'er did not accept them, they would not leave, and they pestered her to accept them. Meng'er did not understand why they came at first, and when she understood it, she was even more speechless. Fine, if you insist on giving it to me, I will accept it. You can go to the emperor to sleep with him. I don't care. Later, Su Rui and Li Yingying also came to find her.

The two hesitated for a long time, and Su Rui blushed and said, "Mei'er, we don't know how to thank you. You are so good to us, but, but..." Li Yingying took Mei'er's hand and took over the conversation, "I know you treat us well, but we are the only one favored by you. There are so many women in the harem. I'm afraid that over time... We are also afraid of implicating you, Mei'er, do you understand?" Mei'er thought about it for a second and understood. The two of them were the only ones favored by you every night, and they had become the target of public criticism. Mei'er didn't think too much about it at the time. Anyway, she would feel uncomfortable no matter who was asked to solve the emperor's physiological problems. As for the two of them, Mei'er felt uncomfortable too. It seemed that they were harmed. The women in the harem did not dare to vent their resentment on herself, but Su Rui and Li Yingying could not stop it. Mei'er glanced at the various gifts piled in the room and thought, "Well, don't you want to climb onto the dragon bed? It depends on my mood."

A few days later, Meng'er threw Concubine Lu's nameplate to the emperor. Concubine Lu did not follow those little fairies to curry favor with her these days, but only served her mother every day. Meng'er saw it and thought that she was a smart woman and should not be allowed to work in vain. Concubine Lu almost cried when she received the order to serve the emperor. She had been out of favor for more than ten years. She was not yet thirty years old and had maintained herself well and was still beautiful. However, the emperor had never touched her since she was born. A woman who had been lonely for all these years, her inner torment could be imagined. What Concubine Lu did The first thing she did was to find Meng'er. She held her hand and wanted to say a few words of thanks but didn't know how to start. She took off a bracelet from her wrist and put it on Meng'er. After a long time, she said, "This is a jade bracelet passed down in my family. Princess must accept it." She held Meng'er's hand tightly, took a long breath, and suddenly smiled and said, "Mian'er, I will remember you. If you need me for anything..." She stopped talking and smiled embarrassedly. What could Meng'er need from her? The emperor would be there for everything. He is no better than her.

Concubine Lu went to serve the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber happily, but the other women were not willing to do so. Meng'er moved to the west warm pavilion again, and they could not see Meng'er, so they followed Concubine Lu's example and went to serve Concubine Du. However, there was only one Concubine Du, and it was difficult to decide who would get a turn. The women almost fought to serve Concubine Du. Concubine Du just happened to be feeling better, but she was annoyed by them again, so she ordered people to close the gate of Changchun Palace and told them not to come and visit unless they had something serious to do.

After Concubine Lu Jing, Meng'er intentionally did not turn over the cards for a few days. She wanted to see if the emperor would find a woman himself, but when she did not turn over the cards, the emperor did not turn over either. Meng'er felt a little relieved, so when Feng Shun came over with the tray again, Meng'er picked out Concubine Wang Hui's card and handed it to him. Zhu Fuyuan had been begging her for several days, looking pitiful every day. Meng'er could not resist her nagging and chose Concubine Wang Hui. However, when she sent women to his bed, although she knew that he was not serious and only regarded them as tools to vent his desires, Meng'er was holding back a fire in her heart, and she didn't know how to vent it. She felt aggrieved and resentful, and was silent more and more often. But when she saw the emperor, Meng'er pretended to be indifferent and understood him.

醉子，她只想拉着你的朋友。 English: Almost all the women in the harem have come to see her, but why is Shang'er not there? Meng'er asked Luluo, and Luluo hurried to inquire. Luluo is Meng'er's close maid. Now Meng'er has the power to turn over the cards. Wherever Luluo goes, everyone is more respectful to her than to any other empress. Luluo walked around and quickly found out, and came back to say to Meng'er: "Shang'er has a seriously ill mother and a young sister. Her family originally had several acres of land, but her father sold it for drinking and gambling. She secretly sent all the things the emperor rewarded her back home to her mother. She can't give anything to the princess, so she dare not come." Meng'er was moved by what she heard. She was a filial child. That's all. She thought about it and said to Luluo: "Go tell Feng Shun to let Concubine Shang serve him in bed in a few days. Also, don't bring those useless things to me in the future." Meng'er rolled her eyes, "People who don't know will think who I want to favor."

Fortunately, the emperor would go to the various palaces to favor whichever concubines he pleased, and he would not bring women to the East Warm Pavilion. It seemed that the only hostess here was Meng'er, and Meng'er turned a blind eye and hid herself like an ostrich. Meng'er was really unhappy, so she asked Feng Shun to bring some green cards and started to play with them. Meng'er said that there were too few cards for her to play with, so she asked Feng Shun to make cards with the names of the more than one hundred palace maids who had been favored by the emperor but had no official status. Then she taught them a game of whack-a-mole. She ordered people to put dolls all over the floor and play with them by throwing green cards. When they had played enough, she asked Feng Shun to clean up and take them away. There was a carpet on the floor, so it didn't matter how much they threw the cards. However, some of the cards broke when they hit the corners of the table, and Meng'er pouted and said it was a pity.

Feng Shun huddled aside with a smile on his face, but he was complaining in his heart, "Princess, why are you so angry? You can't stand having a woman serve you in bed, but you don't accompany the emperor either. Is it fun to keep the emperor hanging like this?" Alas, after you threw the sign, the emperor didn't dare to get close to a woman for a while. He served the emperor closely, and he was numb to the abnormal love between the father and daughter. He really admired Meng'er. How could she control the emperor so tightly? At this time, there was another crisp sound, and another green sign hit the corner of the table and broke. Meng'er threw away the other signs and said unhappily, "Why do you have to use jade to carve the sign? You said you wanted to save money earlier. How can you be so extravagant? Go and take all these away." "Change to wooden signs." Feng Shun responded, and he and several young eunuchs quickly picked up the signs on the ground. Meng'er saw them holding the signs and bending over waiting for her instructions, and waved her hand and said, "It's okay, go down." Feng Shun stepped out and closed the door, shaking his head helplessly, thinking that the princess was still very resentful. If this goes on, he hurried back to the East Warm Pavilion while thinking, the emperor was still waiting for his report. Meng'er broke more than 60 signs this time, but fortunately, it was less than last time.
