The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter

Because her makeup was plain, Qin Liuse chose brightly colored clothes.

The light red dress might look tacky on some people, but Qin Liuse has an extraordinary temperament and her skin is whiter than snow, so she looks like a bright girl in this outfit.

Qingqing couldn't help but admire it when she saw it, "Our Concubine is so beautiful that she can match any color. She should wear more colorful clothes on weekdays!"

Zijin also nodded and said, "It's so white outside, with no color anywhere. When our Concubine wears this, she will become the only bright color in the world. She will definitely be very eye-catching!"

"Zi Jin is so sweet, she touched my heart!" Qin Liuse smiled and enjoyed their compliments.

Qingqing pouted and said, "Jieyu, why do you only praise Sister Zijin and not me?"

Seeing her jealousy, Qin Liuse was not anxious. He glanced at her and said with a smile, "Our Qingqing, you always use the same words. I don't know when you can change them."

Qingqing stamped her feet and said, "Jieyu always makes fun of me!"

The reason why Qin Liuse dressed like this was because she had to serve Emperor Yongjia for dinner. Emperor Yongjia's palace was well-lit and very bright, and the light shining on her clothes made her face look pink.

It was a bit cold along the way, so I needed to wear one more layer.

After choosing for a long time, she finally picked a scarlet cloak with gold satin, a Zhaojun hood and a circle of white fox fur around the outside. When she put it on, her face was hidden in it, and her eyes became big and watery, just like a fairy who had fallen to the earth in winter.

The sedan chair brought by Zhu Wanxi had been waiting outside Shu Yuexuan for a long time. Now that she was a concubine, she could ride in the sedan chair to serve.

Qin Liuse walked out of the yard and met Qin Huaijin as expected.

Qin Huaijin was so angry when he saw her dress so elegantly and Zhu Wanxi came to pick her up in person that his eyes were about to spit fire.

Qin Liuse called out "Sister" with a smile, knowing that Zhu Wanxi was here, and even if Qin Huaijin gritted her teeth, she would not act like she used to.

Ever since she found out that Qin Huaijin was Empress Dowager Dong's person and that Concubine Wen was planning to harm her with Zhang Baolin, Qin Liuse no longer wanted to maintain even the false sisterly love of the past.

Seeing Qin Liuse calling her with such a smile, it was obvious that she was showing off, but Zhu Wanxi was here, Qin Huaijin could only smile and call her affectionately, "Jieyu."

The sedan chair was waiting outside, but the cushion was held in the hands of the eunuch. He only spread it out when he saw Qin Liuse coming.

The night wind had begun to blow outside, and although the sun had not yet set, Qin Liuse did not feel cold.

The road was shaky and the brick roads inside the palace were very quiet, with only the sound of hurried footsteps being heard.

The people who came to pick them up were all Emperor Yongjia's men. Qin Liuse had nothing to say. Wearing a Zhaojun bag on her head, she sat steadily in the sedan chair with her eyelids slightly drooped.

Looking at the dim sunlight shining on the red palace wall, the shadow of the wall on the other side divided it into two different reds.

Qin Liuse blinked her eyes. For some reason, she suddenly felt emotional as she looked at the palace walls along the way. It had been less than a year since she was reborn, but all the old things seemed like a lifetime ago.

She has no way out in this life. She can only move forward day after day like time, and be pushed forward like herself sitting in the sedan chair.

Suddenly, the sedan chair slowed down. Qin Liuse looked up and saw several people walking out of the archway.

The beauty surrounded in the middle was none other than Li Chongyuan of Emperor Yongjia, who was of the second rank and ranked higher than her.

Qin Liuse wanted to salute Li Chongyuan immediately. Li Chongyuan was also a delicate person. Seeing Qin Liuse sitting on the emperor's sedan chair, she quickly stopped him and said, "Forget about the salute. It's too troublesome to go up and down."

Qin Liuse leaned forward slightly and bowed to her, "Thank you Chongyuan for your grace."

Li Chongyuan smiled and stretched out her hand to the other side: "Qin Jieyu, go quickly, the emperor will be here soon."

Did you just come from Chengqian Palace?

After saying goodbye to Li Chongyuan, the sedan chair moved forward. Qin Liuse saw the maid behind her holding a food box in her hand, and thought that she was going to deliver food to Emperor Yongjia.

--

It was not yet night, but the Chengqian Palace in the twilight looked less mysterious than in the dark, but more majestic.

After getting off the sedan chair, Qin Liuse was led into the palace. The palace was quiet as Emperor Yongjia had not returned yet.

Zhu Wanxi said with a smile, "Jieyu, the emperor asked me to bring you to the palace to wait. Jieyu, please sit by yourself for a while. I think the emperor will be back soon."

Qin Liuse smiled and said yes.

The floor heating in Chengqian Palace was very strong and it was warm and comfortable. Smoke was emitting from the incense burner in the middle. Qin Liuse walked inside while taking off his cloak.

She didn't want to touch the emperor's things, so she went to the stove to warm herself by the fire.

After a long while, there was a rustling sound behind her. Qin Liuse turned around and Emperor Yongjia's hand was on her shoulder, protecting her from hitting his chest.

"Your Majesty, you are back."

Emperor Yongjia didn't say anything, just said "hmm", then put his arm around her shoulders and sat down at the table, asking Zhu Wanxi to serve dinner.

Soon maids and eunuchs came in one after another, and plates of delicious food filled the table.

Emperor Yongjia stared at Qin Liuse's face for a long time, "You are not wearing makeup?"

Qin Liuse looked up and met the inquiring eyes of Emperor Yongjia. She lowered her head and answered softly, "Yes."

Emperor Yongjia smiled and said, "I know what it means to dislike the color of makeup."

Qin Liuse thought to herself that you are quite good at praising people, but she just lowered her eyes, looking flattered and shy.

Then he picked up a piece of fish for Emperor Yongjia with chopsticks and said, "Your Majesty must be hungry. Eat quickly."

Before Emperor Yongjia spoke, Zhu Wanxi, who was standing beside him, said, "Jieyu, please let me try it first."

Qin Liuse then remembered that the emperor had more rules for eating than rice, and quickly apologized, "Your Majesty, I am ignorant..."

Emperor Yongjia waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

Then he looked at Zhu Wanxi and asked him to go out.

Zhu Wanxi was a little hesitant at first, but since the emperor had given the order, he had no choice but to take his servants with him and go out.

"Since my beloved concubine has picked it up, I must try it." Emperor Yongjia said with a smile.

Qin Liuse thought to himself that you are quite good at coaxing women, but you can never tell at ordinary times.

Seeing that Emperor Yongjia had eaten the fish, Qin Liuse also picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks because Zhu Wanxi was not asked to test it for poison, in order to show his determination that if it was poisonous, he would die with him.

As a result, I put it in my mouth and almost spit it out.

It was fishy, ​​salty and hard. It was really disgusting. How could Emperor Yongjia eat it so freely?

If he wanted to spit it out, he was afraid of breaking the rules. If he wanted to swallow it, he felt wronged. So Emperor Yongjia said, "If you can't eat it, spit it out."

Qin Liuse felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly spat out the fish in his mouth.

But the next few bites she took, whether it was pork, beef, mutton, or vegetables, could only be described as inedible. They were completely incomparable to what the emperor's chef had prepared for her a few days ago.

Qin Liuse looked at Emperor Yongjia with a distressed look on his face, "Your Majesty, how come you are not as good as me on the throne, and you eat these?"

Having said this, he wanted to bite off his tongue. What kind of words were these? They were too offensive to the emperor.

But fortunately, Qin Liuse is favored now. Emperor Yongjia really favors the people he favors, so a word means nothing.

"It's okay." Emperor Yongjia said with a wry smile, "My beloved concubine is right. I am not happy sitting on the throne."
