Chapter 114 The Emperor's Favored Concubine is Heartbroken (10)

Lieutenant General Li picked a grape and put it into his mouth. After chewing it for a few bites, an intoxicated expression appeared on his face.

He couldn't help but say, "General, please try it. These grapes are delicious, big and sweet. If it weren't for Concubine Rou, I wouldn't have the chance to eat such an expensive thing."

After eating a few more, Lieutenant General Li said with emotion, "Speaking of which, Concubine Rou is really kind and kind-hearted. I am just an insignificant ant, yet she still takes so much trouble for me."

"Yeah, I'm just an ant, why should she care?"

Huo Haochu felt the same way. After making a low mocking remark, his eyes casually swept across the bowl of grapes on the table.

Looking closely, the grapes are plump, shiny and look very delicious.

The candlelight faded, and he could not help but think of the woman hugging him, the undulating white softness under her collar...

Realizing the dirty thoughts in his heart, Huo Haochu was suddenly shocked.

He quickly ran to the back room, fetched a bucket of well water, and kept splashing the cold water on his face.

Under the impact of the cold, it took a while for the desire in my heart to be slowly suppressed.

When Lieutenant General Li saw the general rushing to the back room, he thought something had happened and followed him to the back room.

Unexpectedly, he saw the general washing his face with well water. He realized that the general was sleepy and was using the well water to drive away sleepiness. He was immediately in awe.

After calming down completely, Huo Haochu's eyes regained clarity.

Thinking of the rat infestation in Concubine Rou's palace just now, he felt that he should inform His Majesty.

So he sent someone to inform the emperor's personal eunuch Wang Mingqing and asked him to convey the message to His Majesty.

When Wang Mingqing learned about this, he was also shocked and reported it immediately.

When Ye Junhong heard this, he immediately became restless.

After the empress dowager fell asleep, he took a sedan chair to Yongshou Palace.

Inside Yongshou Palace.

Shen Qingjiao thought back to the rat infestation and felt that there was something a little weird about it.

Before she came, Yongshou Palace was empty, so there was no way there would be leftovers for rats to gnaw on.

But why were all the mice she saw tonight fat and shiny?

These rats didn't look like they were from Yongshou Palace. It seemed as if someone had captured them from somewhere else and thrown them into Yongshou Palace on purpose to scare her.

So, she asked the system for confirmation, "Was this incident tonight caused by someone on purpose?"

After the system investigated the data, it sighed sincerely, "Host, you are so amazing that you can guess this. The one who did such a sinister thing is the current queen!"

"Queen?!"

Shen Qingjiao sneered, "I just entered the palace, and she is so impatient?"

After taking a sip of pomegranate juice, she smiled more beautifully, "However, mice are easy to deal with. I just need to raise a few more cats in the palace and I can easily deal with them."

The system said, "Host, the Queen doesn't like cats, so no one in the palace dares to keep one. Even if a wild cat runs in, the eunuchs and palace maids will poison it to death."

Shen Qingjiao raised her eyebrows slightly, then chuckled, "She was the one who provoked me first. Even if she doesn't like it, she has to endure it!"

"The Emperor has arrived—"

Suddenly, a eunuch's sharp shout was heard outside.

Shen Qingjiao went out to welcome the emperor. When Emperor Ye Junhong saw her, he hurried forward to help her up.

"My beloved concubine, there is no need to be so polite. I heard General Huo report that there was a rat infestation in your palace, so I came to take a look."

"Thanks to your majesty, I was not bitten by the rat, I was just a little frightened."

As if she remembered what happened just now, Shen Qingjiao's eyes suddenly turned red, and bean-sized tears rolled in her eye sockets, her eyes were full of water, about to fall but not yet, which was very adorable.

Ye Junhong wiped away the tears from her eyes with his fingertips, and said softly, "The palace has just received a batch of tribute from the Western Regions. I allow you to go to the warehouse and pick whatever you like."

"I don't want any tribute from the Western Regions. I just want to keep a cat in the palace." Shen Qingjiao bit her lip, her eyes were wet, and a trace of sadness appeared on her beautiful little face.

Ye Junhong was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He gently hugged her into his arms and comforted her, "Okay, I will do whatever you say. If you want to keep cats, just pick a few you like. Have I ever said that you can't keep cats?"

"But," Shen Qing looked up at him timidly, then lowered her head again and whispered, "I heard that the Queen doesn't allow cats to be kept in the palace."

Hearing this, Ye Junhong suddenly became a little angry.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of Kunning Palace and spoke in a deep voice.

"The rat infestation in the harem is so serious because the queen failed to manage it properly. I didn't punish her, which gave her face. My beloved concubine, don't worry. If she dares to embarrass you, I will take care of it for you!"

Shen Qingjiao raised her head slightly with a slight smile on her face.

With tears still on her face, she looked as fresh and beautiful as peach blossoms after the rain.

Ye Junhong couldn't help but lower his head and kissed her hair lightly, his eyes deep.

If it weren't for his mother's illness, he would have been intoxicated by her gentleness and reluctant to leave...

The two hugged each other quietly for a while. Ye Junhong smelled the intoxicating peach blossom scent of the woman in his arms, and his heart surged.

He was afraid that he would lose control if he stayed any longer, so he had to get up and leave.

Before leaving, he remembered something and patted Shen Qingjiao's shoulder with a smile, "My beloved concubine was frightened tonight. You don't need to greet the queen tomorrow. Just take a good rest in Yongshou Palace."

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace." Shen Qingjiao smiled slightly and bowed to express her gratitude.

Kunning Palace.

The queen was drowsy.

But after holding on for half an hour, there was still no "bad news" from Yongshou Palace.

She felt puzzled and quickly sent Xun Dong out to find out the news.

A quarter of an hour later, Xun Dong came back to report, "My queen, I heard that the one in Yongshou Palace was frightened."

"Just frightened? That vixen is quite resilient."

The Queen's tone was sarcastic, her eyes were cold, but her words were like a poisoned knife, "I thought she would be like Concubine Shu, panicking and falling into the well and drowning."

After a moment of silence, she said calmly, "Does Your Majesty know about this?"

"His Majesty just went to visit her and said that he would allow her to..." Having said that, Xun Dong did not dare to continue and looked at the queen cautiously.

The queen glared at her in dissatisfaction and said, "Just say what you want to say. Why are you hesitating?"

Xun Dong mustered up his courage and said, "It was His Majesty who allowed Concubine Rou to keep a cat in the palace."

"What???"

When the queen heard this, her eyes suddenly widened, and then she swept the teacup on the table to the ground in anger.

There was a clang.

The cup broke and the tea spilled all over the floor.

"The concubines in the harem all know my taboos and dare not keep cats privately. But this vixen just came and dared to take advantage of the situation and disobey me!!!"

"What's even more hateful is that Your Majesty actually agreed to her request??? What's the difference between Your Majesty's behavior and losing face in public?" The Queen slammed the table in anger.

"Empress, please have a cup of chrysanthemum tea to calm down." Xun Dong tactfully asked someone to bring the tea.

After taking a few sips, the queen's anxious mood gradually calmed down.

This vixen seems to be a powerful character. No wonder she was named Concubine Rou by His Majesty as soon as she entered the palace. She really has some tricks up her sleeve.

It's a pity that as soon as this vixen entered the palace, the emperor couldn't wait to make her a concubine, which broke the palace rules.

The smile on her face was somewhat cold, and she called Xun Dong, "Prepare the sedan chair, I have something to report to the Queen Mother."
