The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 41

One is as bleak as the end of autumn, the other is as sweeping the earth in spring. Qin Liuse just thought, it turns out that the same face can have such different tones.

The queen was a dignified and virtuous person. Although she was already terminally ill when she was in the palace, Qin Liuse had met her several times and found her to be a very kind person.

This Wei Lanxin was different. She was young, cute, and had a girlish shyness, which was something she had never seen in the Queen.

Although both are descendants of the nobility, these two ladies have completely different temperaments.

Even if the Queen saw this, she would sigh that she had never been so delicate and charming.

If you don't know, you might think that this is the queen's youngest sister. The youngest girl in the family is often like this. Not to say that she is willful, but because she is still young, this willfulness becomes charming and lovely, which makes people tend to be more tolerant of her.

If Emperor Yongjia took her into the harem, it would be like returning to his youth. After all, he and the empress were a young couple.

Qin Liuse's thoughts were very active. Even if she didn't look up at Wei Lanxin, she could imagine how she was looking at Emperor Yongjia at this moment.

She should be delicate and shy, with a boldness and frankness that is not common at this age, as well as shyness and initiative that is not common at this age.

"Oh?" After hearing what she said, Emperor Yongjia's tone became a little kinder, as if he was thinking about his cousin.

After a moment, he said, "After all these years, I have forgotten it."

Wei Lanxin seemed a little disappointed. She lowered her eyes, bit her lips, and looked at the ground for a while, as if she was about to cry.

But soon, she regained her sweet smile. The little girl's emotions came and went quickly.

She raised her eyes and looked at Emperor Yongjia with infatuation, "My cousin is like the bright moon and stars, and I am just a speck of dust. It is normal that my cousin does not remember me. Although I was still young at that time, I still vaguely remember my cousin's heroic figure."

Wei Lanxin became more and more excited as she spoke, "I still remember that when the envoys from the vassal states came to the court, our royal polo team was gradually losing ground in the game. As a result, as soon as my cousin came on the field, he reversed the situation and beat the opponent badly, which boosted our morale a lot."

Qin Liuse was not a noble lady from the capital. Ten years ago, she was just a yellow-haired girl who was still playing in the mud. She had no talent and had never seen the world. Naturally, she did not understand these things and did not have such knowledge.

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that Wei Lanxin had fallen in love with him since she was a girl, and she is a more suitable match for Emperor Yongjia.

Since he was a noble son of the capital, I guess there were quite a few noble ladies who were fascinated by the Ninth Prince.

Wei Lanxin chattered like a magpie.

Qin Liuse originally thought that Emperor Yongjia should be happy when his heroic past as a boy was mentioned. After all, who doesn't like the feeling of being admired?

But unexpectedly, when he shifted his gaze to look at Emperor Yongjia, he did not show much joy, and he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

However, this did not stop Wei Lanxin from expressing her feelings. "Since then, our Royal Polo Team has become more and more brave and adept at fighting, and has enhanced the prestige of our country. I think it has a lot to do with my cousin's good start!"

Such a brilliant record indeed made Qin Liuse look at him with new eyes.

Emperor Yongjia had a cold personality, but now that he was an emperor, he was not yet old enough to reminisce about the past. After thinking about it, Qin Liuse decided to just think that he was being modest.

Emperor Yongjia only said "hmm" once or twice, and Wei Lanxin continued to talk as if encouraged, "I was also fortunate enough to receive guidance from my cousin once. That time was during the autumn examination at the Mountain Resort. Although my cousin has forgotten it, I will remember it for the rest of my life!"

Wei Lanxin spoke with admiration and shyness, and Qin Liuse couldn't help but give her a thumbs up for her straightforwardness.

Thinking if she were to confess her love like this at this age, Qin Liuse felt that she didn't have the courage.

Even if she is now a lackey to Emperor Yongjia and flirts with him from time to time, it seems that she has a purpose and it works smoothly. If she really likes a man, she would be more reserved and shy...

For a moment, Qin Liuse felt that it was really redundant for her to stand next to the two of them.

"I don't remember these things." Emperor Yongjia seemed to be listening with aloofness.

Qin Liuse was just thinking that Emperor Yongjia was strangely cold. Wei Lanxin's words were so vivid, but he didn't seem to want to pay any attention.

No, it seems like he doesn't want to continue this topic.

But then I heard Wei Lanxin say again: "My cousin is a man, he has other things to do every day, so naturally he doesn't remember, but I want to tell you."

Qin Liuse felt a chill on her back. Wei Lanxin was so disregarding of her daughter's dignity. Her words could be said to be a disguised expression of her true feelings.

It was a pity that her cousin the emperor did not appreciate it. Qin Liuse did not move, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible. She only heard him say, "Since you are willing to run a trip for the queen mother today, I will let Zhu Wanxi reward you."

After saying this, Emperor Yongjia summoned Zhu Wanxi, which meant he was ordering him to leave.

Qin Liuse was extremely puzzled. When Zhou Cairen came just now, Emperor Yongjia said the same thing as he does now. It didn't make sense that he wouldn't say a few more words when Empress Dowager Dong's people came.

Although Wei Lanxin looked flattered and certainly did not notice Emperor Yongjia's displeasure, Qin Liuse, who had been with her here the whole time, was keenly aware of the difference.

It may also be that because he had spent more time with Emperor Yongjia, he was able to more or less detect some of his emotional changes.

As far as Qin Liuse was concerned, Emperor Yongjia did not show any joy at all when he heard Wei Lanxin mention the glorious military achievements in the past.

Qin Liuse's eyes rolled around in his mind, and he had his own guesses.

When the previous emperor was alive, the Ninth Prince Xiao Yan was not favored at all. This was because the birth mother of Emperor Yongjia was of humble status, and he was never taken seriously even among the other princes.

When people in the capital mention the Ninth Prince, they don't talk about how bright his future is, but mostly talk about his heroic appearance, that is, his face.

When Emperor Yongjia was young, he was a handsome man.

It is said that when the late emperor wanted to arrange a marriage for him, he was quite worried because his mother's family had no background. Some families in the capital, especially those noble ladies whose parents hoped to become the wives of big men, were evasive and unwilling to marry their daughters to him.

The Queen, on the other hand, was a true lover. Although her family was prominent, she was unwilling to marry into another noble family or a more powerful prince.

Because her beloved was the Ninth Prince Xiao Yan, she asked her family to ask the late emperor for permission, which led to this marriage.

He was not favored and was not a popular candidate for the throne. Even before the death of the previous emperor, no one guessed that the Ninth Prince would ascend the throne.

It is conceivable that when the Ninth Prince Xiao Yan was young, his life was even more difficult and he was even less favored.

So in the polo team match at that time, Qin Liuse thought, from what Wei Lanxin said just now, since the Ninth Prince Xiao Yan was a temporary player, it means that his name was not included in the match at the beginning.

There may be a lot of content here.

Who likes to recall their hard times?

Even Qin Liuse himself used his experience in his previous life as a warning to remind himself at all times, but he did not want to recall the past.

As for why, Qin Liuse could only guess and did not dare to make a conclusion.

After all, she was just reborn. She was not smarter than her previous life, nor did she have the ability to know the past or predict the future.

We can only speculate that Wei Lanxin probably acted on accident and missed the mark in her attempt to flatter.

Before leaving, Wei Lanxin looked back at Emperor Yongjia with hesitation.

Qin Liuse secretly clicked her tongue again, thinking that Wei Lanxin was ready to devote her whole heart to Emperor Yongjia.

After Wei Lanxin left, Qin Liuse straightened his expression and returned to Emperor Yongjia.

Emperor Yongjia put his arm around Qin Liuse's waist, picked up the bowl of pear soup she brought him and asked her to feed him, as if nothing had happened just now.

Qin Liuse thought about it and felt that she was making a big deal out of nothing. Emperor Yongjia had seen so many women, how could such a small thing cause such a stir in his heart, let alone show it on his face.

"Tell me, how is Li Chongyuan doing when we go to Yuxiu Palace today?"

Qin Liuse was stunned and wanted to roll her eyes. Emperor Yongjia probably knew more than her, so why was he asking her?

He is in this harem, is he still short of spies?

But since he asked, Qin Liuse answered truthfully.

"Didn't she make things difficult for you?" Emperor Yongjia asked Li Chongyuan.

Qin Liuse was not the kind of person who would complain behind someone's back, so she smiled and said, "No, Li Chongyuan was very polite to me. I was embarrassed myself, so I ran away after sitting for a while."

Emperor Yongjia pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "What's there to be embarrassed about? You are representing the Queen Mother."

Qin Liuse scooped a sip of pear juice for Emperor Yongjia and said with a smile: "I am young and I am afraid that Li Chongyuan will not know how to deal with me, so she ran away."

It was rare for the two of them to chat like this, and Qin Liuse did not hide anything and said whatever he wanted to say.

Emperor Yongjia seemed to be very pleased to hear this. He took her hand and put it on her belly, saying with a smile, "Your belly should be more motivated. Give me a title and I will give you a Zhaoyi. Then it won't be awkward."

Qin Liuse blushed slightly. She had to admit that the emperor's words made her feel a little amorous, but she was not ready to have a child yet. Emperor Yongjia was so young, there was no rush.

But he didn't show it on his face. "It's easy for the emperor to say it, but can I just have it if I want it?"

Emperor Yongjia lowered his hand and said in a hoarse voice, "I have been pampering you so much recently, do you think you should do better?"

Qin Liuse's face turned red, and she felt tingling and itchy around her ears and neck.

This evening, of course, it was Qin Liuse's turn, and it was another hot and slippery affair.

In the next few days, Emperor Yongjia kept flipping through Qin Liuse's cards, which made Qin Liuse feel terrified by his dedication and hard work.

When walking in the palace, people everywhere looked at him with respect and admiration.

That afternoon, Qingqing Zijin was selecting clothes and hairpins for Qin Liuse, but she did not wait for Zhu Wanxi. After dinner, she heard Xiao Fuzi say that the Emperor Yongjia was choosing the name of Concubine Zhou tonight.
