The most beautiful lady in the harem

Emperor Yongjia's men were very quick and efficient. In just a cup of tea, Zhu Wanxi's men brought the clothes.

Although there was no fanfare about this, the news had already spread throughout the palace once it left Concubine Dong's palace.

It was rumored that Lady Qin had a secret meeting with a man outside her home at night. She was so shameless that she went out for a walk in the middle of the night and wore the man's clothes when she came back.

Do you really think no one saw it? There are eyes everywhere in this palace.

Qin Huaijin didn't mean that at first, but as the story spread, it changed its meaning.

When the clothes were brought to Concubine Dong's palace, Qin Huaijin straightened his back. He thought that now he had caught Qin Liuse red-handed, and he could give him a severe punishment. It would be best if the emperor would dislike him.

Qin Liuse felt amused. He really caught the criminal red-handed.

The stolen robe is being held here by a maid, and the person is, isn’t he Emperor Yongjia?

This is true, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple!

But there was no expression on his face, he just frowned slightly, showing a look of great incomprehension of Qin Huaijin's behavior.

Emperor Yongjia signaled with his eyes, and Concubine Dong became the first person to check the clothes.

As a result, Concubine Dong became more and more speechless the more she watched, and almost blurted out the word "ridiculous".

However, no matter how honest she was, she still held back. Dong had not stayed in the palace for so many years in vain.

Concubine Dong returned to sit next to the emperor, drank a sip of tea, thought for a while, then looked at Qin Huaijin and said, "It may be Concubine Qin who misunderstood. Concubine Qin doesn't know that this dress belongs to the emperor."

Qin Huaijin blinked his eyes, unable to digest these words for a moment. He never thought that these would be the emperor's clothes.

Qin Liuse smiled secretly in his heart, you didn’t expect it, right? There are many things you didn’t expect.

"This...how could this be the emperor's?" Qin Huaijin still couldn't believe it. It was the middle of the night, and Qin Liuse might have gone out for a stroll, but how could he have run into Emperor Yongjia?

You have to know that Qin Liuse has never slept with him before, so if you think about it, it's impossible that they had made an appointment.

"How can this be wrong?" Concubine Dong put it on the cup. "The emperor's clothes are all unique in the palace. They are sewn by the clothes of the clothing bureau. Every piece, from socks to cotton jackets, has the golden thread mark of the true dragon emperor. How can this be wrong?"

Qin Huaijin's face immediately looked like broken porcelain.

But at this moment, Zhu Wanxi came in and reported that the maid from the Shangfu Bureau last night had been found.

Now it was Qin Liuse's turn to be shocked. He could find this person, but in fact there was no such person at all. His heart was pounding for a moment and he felt very uneasy.

But seeing that Emperor Yongjia looked calm, Qin Liuse suddenly changed his mind. The whole world belonged to Emperor Yongjia, so it would be easy for him to create something out of nothing.

However, this also gave Qin Liuse a warning that the eunuch Zhu Wanxi next to Emperor Yongjia might also be a figure.

Just now, Emperor Yongjia only told him to find the maid from last night, and did not give any other instructions. With just one look, Zhu Wanxi could completely understand what the emperor was thinking, and he got it done so quickly.

You have to know that the emperor's mind is not easy to figure out. If you go too far, you are trying to guess the emperor's mind. If you can't guess it, then you are extremely stupid.

It can only be just right, and it must be just right.

Therefore, there is a reason why Zhu Wanxi was able to stay with Emperor Yongjia for so many years and many more years in the future.

At this moment, Qin Liuse felt that Zhu Wanxi was her role model.

You have to learn from him so that you can keep making a living by the side of Emperor Yongjia.

"Let her come in and answer the question." Emperor Yongjia ordered.

The maid was brought in and told the whole story in a rush.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and the two young ladies, I am Xiao Cui, the maid who manages the clothes for the emperor. Last night, on my way to the laundry, I ran into Lady Qin walking in the garden. It was late at night and the dew was heavy. She was wet and sneezed all the way. I was afraid that Lady Qin was sick, so I secretly took out the inner robe I had just brought back and gave it to her to wear."

"It was dark, and I wanted to take the old robe that the emperor was going to discard for Lady Qin to wear. But in a hurry, I took a new one instead. The two robes are almost the same thickness and made of the same fabric. I couldn't tell the difference in the dark!"

"After I returned, I realized that I had taken the wrong thing. I was extremely anxious, but it was too late. The palace gates in the courtyard had been locked and I could not get out. This morning, I was preparing to go to Shuyuexuan to retrieve the emperor's clothes. I moved the emperor's clothes without permission. Please forgive me! Please forgive me!"

"Lady Qin refused to tell me, probably because of me. She was afraid that if the palace ladies found out that I lent the emperor's clothes to them, they would punish me severely."

Qin Liuse didn't expect Zhu Wanxi to be so good at teaching and so considerate that he even took care of her excuses.

"But since the Emperor and the Empress are here, I have to tell you. I dare not hide anything. I had agreed with Lady Qin that she would quietly return the clothes to me today after returning to Shuyuexuan. I didn't expect this to happen... I walked around Shuyuexuan last night and didn't see any strangers."

"There are so many palaces that even the guards can't get in. There are only these eunuchs in the harem. I think this is a misunderstanding, but I am guilty of lending the emperor's clothes to others. I beg the emperor to punish me."

Qin Huaijin's face turned pale and blue when he heard this. Now it was Qin Liuse's turn as the witnesses were present.

And she became the one who caused trouble for no reason.

"Your Majesty, I really didn't expect that those would be your clothes." Qin Huaijin said this as if she felt so guilty that tears were about to come out of her eyes.

The emperor ignored her and looked at the maid kneeling on the ground.

Qin Liuse looked at Emperor Yongjia and Concubine Xian with a pleading look on her face. She didn't want the maid to speak for her and be punished.

Seeing this, Concubine Dong Xian said, "She must be punished for breaking the palace rules, but considering that she is young and kind-hearted, let's just fine her one month's salary. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Yongjia nodded, and Qin Liuse felt relieved.

The maid finished her task and left.

Qin Huaijin was the only one left feeling embarrassed.

Qin Liuse saw this and knew that it was her turn to play the good guy, so she said gently, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was in a hurry at the moment. In the end, it was because of Your Majesty that I lost my sense of propriety. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yongjia did not speak, but looked at her meaningfully.

It was Concubine Dong Xian who spoke up, "That would be unfair to you."

"I don't feel wronged." Qin Liuse said with a smile, "Since the matter has been made clear and no one has been wronged, this is the most appropriate thing to do."

Now, Qin Boyuan of the former dynasty is a popular figure in the court and the country, and is also someone that Emperor Yongjia is looking for. If the rumor that the Qin sisters in the harem are competing for favor and turning against each other spreads, it will not be good for anyone.

Emperor Yongjia was a person who did not want anything to happen in the harem, nor did he want things to get out of hand.

By handling it this way, she could do the emperor a favor and she wouldn't suffer any loss herself. Qin Liuse felt it was worth it.

Concubine Dong Xian looked at Emperor Yongjia and asked tentatively, "Then let's put this matter behind us and treat it as a misunderstanding. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Yongjia took the last sip of tea, said "OK", and left with Zhu Wanxi.

On the way back to Shu Yuexuan, Qingqing couldn't help but say beside Qin Liuse, "Beauty, why were you still helping Cairen just now? She tricked you like this!"

Why? Qin Liuse was not stupid enough to think that the emperor favored him this time and cleaned up his mess, so he thought he was favored?

All in all, she and Emperor Yongjia were not as close as Emperor Yongjia and Qin Huaijin.

At least they are a real couple and have slept together more than once.

At most, she is just a novelty to Emperor Yongjia.

She has no right to make trouble in front of the emperor. If she is not sensible today and makes a big fuss with Qin Huaijin, then the favor she has not yet obtained will probably be lost.

She still knows what is more important.

She was willing to do things according to Emperor Yongjia's request without putting herself in a difficult position, so as not to suffer any loss and to make Emperor Yongjia remember her kindness.

Qingqing was still young and immature, so Qin Liuse couldn't help but admonish and teach Qingqing, saying, "You, be careful with your words, there are spies everywhere in this palace."

"You have to know that she and I are sisters in name only. Would the Emperor want to see us fighting?"

"This kind of thing is the emperor's family affair. If it gets out and the people in the court know about it, it will be very unpleasant."

"This palace is the emperor's palace, the emperor's home and backyard. You have to remember this, this is not the same as the palace before."

Qingqing really didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and kept thinking about Qin Liuse's last words in her heart: This palace is the emperor's palace.

When doing things, you should not do what you want to do, but think about what the emperor wants to do!

--

It must be said that Qin Liuse's actions today were exactly what Emperor Yongjia wanted.

When they returned to Shuyuexuan and were having lunch, someone came to tell them that the emperor had summoned Concubine Qin to sleep with him tonight.

When Zhu Wanxi came to Shuyuexuan, Qin Huaijin was the first to see him. He hurried to greet him, full of anticipation.

As a result, he saw Zhu Wanxi asking where Concubine Qin was, and then went straight to Qin Liuse's room to announce the decree.

Qin Liuse didn't see Qin Huaijin's expression, but from what Qingqing said, it was extremely ugly.

At other times, it was the young eunuchs from the Jingshifang who came. Sometimes they would only turn over the cards at night and come even more urgently.

When was the first time he slept with his wife, Zhu Wanxi actually came to deliver the message?

Qin Huaijin was so angry that his teeth were itching. He went back to the house and started throwing things.

The maid Chuntao tried to stop her and advised Qin Huaijin, "Young lady, please don't be angry. It took so long for Lady Qin to sleep with you. It's not worth it for you to get angry. Otherwise, you will get hurt!"

Chuntao has been serving Qin Huaijin since she was a child, so she is the only one who dares to persuade him in this way.

Qin Huaijin was still very angry. "Today's incident made the emperor remember her, and he even asked Zhu Wanxi to pass on the message. I was really praising her."

Chun Tao stopped her hand and advised, "That's right, Talented Lady. Don't do such things in the future. You gave her this opportunity today. If she hadn't made such a fuss and ran to Concubine Xian, would the Emperor have remembered her?"

Qin Huaijin feels extremely regretful when he thinks about it now. Making clothes for others is the most infuriating thing.

But what's the use?

I could only watch as people in the palace next door were busy preparing for tonight's events.

--

Mingyue stuffed a big purse into Zhu Wanxi's pocket and sent him out of Shuyuexuan. "Thank you, eunuch, for taking the trouble to come here."

When he came back, Qin Liuse was still in a daze.

"Beauty, are you overwhelmed with joy?"

Qin Liuse touched his forehead and was indeed a little uncomfortable.

Although everything was prepared, when the final moment came, I started to worry again. Was she really going to sleep with him?

It has been more than a year since I entered the palace. If I had served the emperor in bed as soon as I entered, I wouldn't be as nervous as I am now.

Because she had been entrusted with the task for such a long time, and had had several interactions with Emperor Yongjia that were not like those of ordinary concubines, she began to feel uncomfortable.
