The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 35

Although both of them gave birth to princesses, Li Chongyuan was much more cautious than Concubine Ning Shufei.

She did not have the lasting favor and pampering like Concubine Ning Shufei, and she glanced at Emperor Yongjia's face and said with an increasingly trembling face and a look of uneasiness.

"Your Majesty, Anle's condition has been relapsing since the imperial physician diagnosed her pulse and gave her medicine. I don't want to trouble Your Majesty to come during your busy schedule, but Anle is restless during her illness and is always thinking about her father. I am really at a loss, so I asked someone to invite the emperor to come."

Li Chongyuan's eyes were red and she gritted her teeth, looking like a loving mother working hard for her daughter. She knew that she would not let the emperor change his mind, but the news about Princess Anle could be asked.

"I heard from the old aunt in the palace that the princess is ill and may be disturbed by evil spirits. If the real dragon emperor is here, those evil spirits will definitely retreat on their own and dare not get close to the princess."

Emperor Yongjia sneered, "Old aunt? Which old aunt?"

Li Chongyuan was stunned for a moment. These were naturally words she used to deceive the emperor, but she never expected that Emperor Yongjia would seize on such details to ask back.

Li Chongyuan had no idea that Emperor Yongjia was upset. On the one hand, he did not like these stories about ghosts and gods, and on the other hand, he had some reservations about the truth of what Li Chongyuan said.

That's why he stabbed back so ruthlessly.

However, Emperor Yongjia was not prepared to really expose Li Chongyuan's shortcomings. After all, it was a fact that Princess Anle was unwell. He only warned her, "I am Anle's father, not a magician. I cannot calm the gods and exorcise ghosts. As Anle's mother, you should act like a mother. Don't be more fragile than she before she falls."

Li Chongyuan felt her face burning. She had the same thought in her mind. New people entered the palace one after another, and now the Ninth Prince had become Emperor Yongjia.

As an emperor, he naturally has countless women. When she met Qin Liuse that day, although it was not the first time she saw her, she was still disturbed by her beauty.

With such a beauty, how long will it take for the emperor to remember her?

She lured Emperor Yongjia to her because of Princess Anle and also to create opportunities for herself.

She knew that Emperor Yongjia was a man of principles and had a strong temper. She used this tactic of self-torture and lowering her status, but as expected, Emperor Yongjia came anyway.

Li Chongyuan held her handkerchief and said with red eyes, "Anle is only three years old this year. She can't explain why she feels uncomfortable. I really have no other choice. Doctor Zhang, who used to come to the palace to check my pulse, is no longer on duty at the Imperial Hospital. Anle is shy and always cries when he sees the new pediatric doctor. I really have a headache."

Emperor Yongjia turned the beads in his hand and said calmly, "See him a few more times, and you will become familiar with him after a little coaxing."

As for the imperial physician Zhang, he will naturally never come back.

Emperor Yongjia would not allow anyone from his Imperial Hospital to go deep into the harem and attempt to harm his descendants and concubines.

Betrayal is the emperor's biggest taboo.

Since he was a traitor, of course he had to be killed as soon as possible. After finding out the truth that night, Doctor Zhang seemed to have guessed it in advance. He was also cunning and immediately asked for bereavement leave to return home.

Emperor Yongjia asked the people from the Imperial Hospital to approve his request, but the way back was long and arduous, and Emperor Yongjia's people had been waiting for him.

Doctor Zhang is a meticulous person. People who do bad things will always leave themselves several escape routes. His men are divided into three teams.

Two teams traveled by land, and one team traveled by water.

But of course, this was all within the Yongjia Emperor's sight. When his subordinates reported to him and asked how to deal with the situation, the Yongjia Emperor didn't even blink and replied: destroy them all.

Just like that, Doctor Zhang, who had originally planned to go home to attend the funeral, had to let others go to attend the funeral for him.

However, Emperor Yongjia would naturally not tell Li Chongyuan about these things in detail. Li Chongyuan lived deep in the palace and had no spies, so she naturally thought that Doctor Zhang had just returned to his hometown.

Li Chongyuan was relieved to see that Emperor Yongjia didn't seem to want to argue with her. She knew that although Emperor Yongjia had countless women, he always loved his children.

Li Chongyuan and the maid waved, "Go quickly and see if the princess has woken up, and bring her to the emperor."

Soon, the little princess was carried to the main hall. Her face was wrinkled, her brows were wrinkled, and her mouth was pouting. When she saw Emperor Yongjia, she immediately started to act like a spoiled child: "Father, Anle doesn't want to take the medicine, Anle doesn't want to take the medicine."

Emperor Yongjia was not the kind of father who would only watch his child from afar. He took the drink from the wet nurse. Although he was not smiling, his expression softened a lot towards the child. "Okay, if Anle says he doesn't want to drink, then he doesn't have to."

Li Chongyuan was a little intoxicated when she saw the appearance of Emperor Yongjia. It would be great if such a good man could stay in her palace longer.

She stepped forward and fixed Anle's hair, smiling and saying gently, "Anle, be good. Father still has a lot of things to do. Let mother hold you."

Hearing this, Anle immediately turned her head away, and remembered what her mother had taught her today, and immediately started to make a fuss, "No, Anle doesn't want mother, Anle wants father to hold her, father, can you sleep with Anle tonight?"

Emperor Yongjia paused and thought for a moment. It was unknown what he was thinking. He glanced at Zhu Wanxi, and Zhu Wanxi nodded slightly.

After a moment, he said, "Okay, Father will not leave tonight."

Li Chongyuan could no longer hide the smile on her face and quickly asked someone to prepare dinner.

Because Princess Anle was ill, Emperor Yongjia called her to bed shortly after dinner.

When she entered the bedroom, she saw the tightly closed windows. The room was filled with the smell of medicine and human bodies. Princess Anle's face turned red. Emperor Yongjia frowned and asked someone to open the window a crack.

Princess Anle was in a bad mood and wanted to sleep with Emperor Yongjia, but Li Chongyuan, as a concubine, could not let Emperor Yongjia take care of a child, so she coaxed Anle to sleep at the innermost bed, herself to sleep in the middle, and Emperor Yongjia to sleep at the outermost bed.

Princess Anle was extremely happy when she saw that Emperor Yongjia was really settled here.

But after all, I was sick, and after being happy, I soon fell asleep out of exhaustion.

Li Chongyuan looked at her daughter who was sleeping soundly beside her, then looked at the tall and strong man beside her, and her face turned red. This kind of peaceful happiness was what she had been praying for for a long time.

After asking the maid outside to extinguish the candle, Li Chongyuan lay down under the quilt.

But the hands and feet in the quilt were restless, rubbing and twisting like snakes, crawling beside Emperor Yongjia.

This strong body was what she had been thinking about for a long time.

But Emperor Yongjia did not do as she wished. He held her hand accurately with his big palm, without even raising his eyelids, and said with his eyes closed, expressionless, "Place it."

Li Chongyuan was somewhat reluctant. She had finally managed to lure the emperor into her palace, so there was no reason for her to just watch and not enjoy the food.

"Your Majesty, let me serve you." Li Chongyuan said softly and charmingly, thinking back to what happened between them last night. Although it was only once, it made her feel haunted.

But Princess Anle did not sleep with them last night, and Emperor Yongjia agreed. Li Chongyuan was unsure tonight, so she was testing Emperor Yongjia.

Emperor Yongjia, however, still spoke in a calm tone, without even opening his eyes to look at her, "Anle is here, as a mother, you should behave like a mother."

Emperor Yongjia said this, and Li Chongyuan felt like she had punched cotton, feeling both regretful and depressed.

She didn't even know if she was doing the right thing by letting Anle act like a spoiled child and teaching her to say that she wanted to sleep with Emperor Yongjia in order to win his favor and keep him.

--

After one night, the harem was still the harem, and the emperor still attended the morning court on time. However, the news that Emperor Yongjia had stayed in the same palace for two nights spread like wildfire again.

There are no secrets in the harem. Although the emperor was kept for two nights, everyone knew that Li Chongyuan kept him because of Princess Anle.

Everyone had their own opinions at the time. Some thought that Emperor Yongjia was a really good father, while others felt that Li Chongyuan, who had been out of favor for half a year, had finally regained favor.

And those whose stomachs did not feel any reaction were all lamenting how nice it was to have a half-boy or half-girl, so that Emperor Yongjia would have an excuse to go over to them, unlike them, who had no capital at all.

However, when this news reached Concubine Ning Shu's palace, she looked disdainful.

She sat upright on the high couch, cracking melon seeds, throwing away the rinds, and putting the kernels into her mouth, saying speechlessly, "You are so ignorant."

If it were so easy to keep the emperor, then the harem would be simple.

If it were so easy to regain favor, and the emperor could be easily controlled because of the child, then the harem would be even simpler.

"The child is sick, but she is using him to win favor. Li Chongyuan is really..." Concubine Ning Shu looked down on Li Chongyuan's behavior from the bottom of her heart, so she didn't even want to say anything. After all, she was the daughter of Emperor Yongjia.

Like her, she knew that Emperor Yongjia would not be controlled because of a child, so she would never do this to her Princess Changle.

As for Li Chongyuan, there were some effects and the results were what she wanted, but Concubine Ning Shu felt that the cost outweighed the gains.

Emperor Yongjia is not so easy to fool, even if he seems to be cooperating with you and it seems that you are doing nothing wrong.

But when he went there the second time, the essence had changed.

He went to see Princess Anle, but he used the same trick twice. It would be more accurate to say that he wanted to see her and play some tricks on the princess rather than going to see her.

It is time to reconsider her importance in the heart of Emperor Yongjia.

Concubine Ning Shu put another melon seed into her mouth, then clapped her hands and went to the yard to play with Princess Changle.

On the other hand, the news that Emperor Yongjia stayed in Li Chongyuan's palace again naturally reached Qin Liuse's ears.

But because she knew it last night, she wasn't that surprised, because she had guessed it a long time ago.

Zhu Wanxi did not come to announce the decree today, but at night, Xiao Fuzi came back from outside and brought another piece of news, saying that Emperor Yongjia had gone to Li Chongyuan again and was temporarily taken away by Li Chongyuan's men.

"Third times is the limit. Why is Li Chongyuan like this? She keeps trembling with the emperor all day long." Qingqing said speechlessly.

To be honest, Qin Liuse was indeed surprised, but when he heard Qingqing's words "nothing happens more than three times", he suddenly had another idea.

Li Chongyuan is like this, intercepting Emperor Yongjia at the gate of Chengqian Palace every time. Is it really okay?

However, Qin Liuse had to admire her. She knew the whereabouts of Emperor Yongjia so clearly and happened to run into him every time. She was afraid that she had people guarding him all the time.

When Qin Liuse thought of this, his heart skipped a beat. Yes!

Isn't Li Chongyuan digging her own grave by spying on Emperor Yongjia's whereabouts?

Based on Qin Liuse's superficial understanding of Emperor Yongjia, this behavior was almost the same as pulling out a tiger's whiskers.

As for Li Chongyuan, things were indeed not peaceful tonight.
