The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 46

Wei Lan went there with confidence, but returned disappointed. On the way back, she was very angry.

"Miss, don't be angry with yourself. There is a long time to come. The Empress Dowager has said that she wants to keep you in the palace for the New Year. Outside the palace, the master and the mistress have also agreed. You will have many opportunities to see the emperor." The maid comforted Wei Lanxin as they walked.

Wei Lanxin comes from a wealthy family and is favored by the elders in her family. Because she is beautiful and smart, she has been praised since she was a child and has never suffered such grievances.

Wei Lan angrily said, "It's all that damn eunuch's fault. He ruined my good deeds. Rootless people love to do this kind of thing. Burrow into the ground. Damn eunuch dog!"

"But there is only a dog beside the emperor, why is he so arrogant! He took the initiative to ruin my good deeds, who wants him to help? Unlucky! When I go back later, I don't want this dress anymore!"

As they were about to enter the Empress Dowager Dong's palace, Wei Lanxin cursed out all the words that had been pent up in her heart. Everything that happened today was ultimately blamed on Qin Liuse and Zhu Wanxi.

But when he turned into the corridor, he bumped into Zhu Wanxi who was about to come out.

Zhu Wanxi greeted Wei Lanxin with a smile, but of course this did not earn Wei Lanxin a good look.

She didn't expect to meet Zhu Wanxi here. Shouldn't he be with Emperor Yongjia at this time?

Wei Lanxin felt annoyed when she saw him, but she was not stupid and knew that she must not offend the people around the emperor.

Growing up in this circle, Wei Lanxin knew better than anyone that one should look at the owner before beating a dog, so she said coldly, and seeing that Zhu Wanxi was accompanied by someone, she asked, "Eunuch Zhu, where are you going?"

Zhu Wanxi had stood up and was about to leave, but when Wei Lanxin asked, she thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Miss Wei, I still have to go to Shuyuexuan!"

"Shu Yuexuan? What are you doing there?" Wei Lanxin asked, thinking that Shu Yuexuan was the residence of the two sisters of the Qin family.

Zhu Wanxi replied respectfully, "Miss Wei, I'm going to convey the emperor's order and summon Concubine Qin to serve tonight."

Upon hearing this, Wei Lanxin was so angry that she didn't want to say anything anymore. She just rolled up her sleeves and went into the palace.

Here, Zhu Wanxi left the Empress Dowager Dong's palace and walked hurriedly on the palace road. The apprentice beside him said unhappily, "Master, this Miss Wei is really something. If you hadn't saved her, she would have fallen to pieces. She also scolded us for being..."

Although I didn't say it in front of them, because I said it behind their backs, the words I said were more true to my heart.

Zhu Wanxi no longer had the smile on his face that he had when facing Wei Lanxin in the Empress Dowager Dong's palace. He said calmly, "She is the master, and you and I are the servants. Whatever she says is what counts."

After thinking for a while, he said with a cold face and a cold look in his eyes, "Those without roots are also human beings. This life has not come to an end yet, and it is not certain who is better than who."

Qin Liuse originally thought that Emperor Yongjia would take the beautiful Wei Lanxin into his pocket today, but she didn't expect that he would summon her to sleep with him.

After receiving Zhu Wanxi's order, Qin Liuse asked Mingyue to reward Zhu Wanxi and others with hot tea, and then sent them out warmly.

Zhu Wanxi's apprentice smiled and said along the way, "This Concubine Qin is a good person. She is beautiful and has a good temper. She doesn't look like one of those people who look down on others. No wonder the emperor loves her so much."

Zhu Wanxi smiled, as if in agreement, but he still slapped his apprentice, "Speak less. The emperor likes whoever he likes. Is that something you can chew on?"

The apprentice realized the danger and immediately shut up.

In the evening, when Qin Liuse arrived at Chengqian Palace, Emperor Yongjia had also returned early.

When she stepped into the palace, the historian and Zhu Wanxi left, closed the door, and walked into the bedroom, where she saw Emperor Yongjia sitting on a warm couch reading a book with his back to the entrance.

"Come here." It was as if Emperor Yongjia had eyes on his back. It was as if he had seen Qin Liuse before she even walked around the screen.

The bedroom was very warm. Qin Liuse took off his cloak and casually put it on a high stool beside him, then walked over to pay his respects to Emperor Yongjia.

Emperor Yongjia waved his hand, and Qin Liuse walked over and sat down next to him. "What book is the emperor reading?"

With Emperor Yongjia holding her waist and leaning against his chest, Qin Liuse finally saw clearly that he was not reading a book, but looking at the accounts and year-end arrangements handed to him by Concubine Dong Xian.

So Qin Liuse shut up. If they were reading a book, they could still chat about it, but when it came to state affairs and matters concerning the harem, which she could not and had no authority to intervene in, that would be breaking the rules.

Emperor Yongjia gently rested his head on top of Qin Liuse's head, flipping through the book and saying, "It's New Year's Eve, do you want anything?"

At the end of the year, the harem would give rewards to the concubines in each palace. This book also contained the list submitted by Concubine Dong Xian and the Shang Gong Bureau, so Emperor Yongjia asked it seemingly casually.

Qin Liuse nestled in the tall body of Emperor Yongjia, looking like a young wife, and said softly, "I really have everything I need now. I only pray for peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and for the health of the emperor and me. This is better than anything else."

Qin Liuse was speaking from the heart, and of course he also meant to please Emperor Yongjia.

But she never had high demands for material things, otherwise she would not have resolutely left the palace to find Brother Jia in her previous life.

It’s a pity that although she has such a kind heart, she has never met a kind-hearted person who cares for her.

"Really?" Emperor Yongjia closed the book in his hand. "Others would love to have it, but I can only open a backdoor for you in this way."

Qin Liuse thought to herself, I wonder if every concubine who came to serve him in the emperor's bedchamber would hear this sentence.

I don’t know if he was testing his woman with these words.

She looked up at Emperor Yongjia and said, "It's good that I know your majesty's intentions, but if your majesty makes an exception for me, it will be difficult for your majesty and Concubine Dong."

Emperor Yongjia glanced at Qin Liuse and said, "I don't need to consider other people's faces when I treat others well."

Qin Liuse was ready to be a virtuous and kind person to the end, with a flattered and shy look on her face, "Then, then I will ask for a favor from the emperor."

Emperor Yongjia touched Qin Liuse's long black hair, which was just like a waterfall. She had just come from the side hall and still carried the fragrance of sweet soap. "Go ahead."

Qin Liuse pouted and complained: "I beg the emperor to let me bring a few books and put them in this bedroom. Otherwise, every time I wait for the emperor, I will fall asleep first."

Emperor Yongjia raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect it to be such a request. This matter was not simple, so he agreed immediately.

Emperor Yongjia pointed at Qin Liuse's forehead and said, "I didn't ask you to come here to read books, but you used my bedroom as a study."

Qin Liuse puffed up her cheeks, "Ah! Then forget it, let me wait for the emperor."

Emperor Yongjia laughed and said, "You still have a temper, and it's my fault now."

Emperor Yongjia said coldly, "Others become more and more excited as they wait for me, but you..." He even brought books to pass the time.

Qin Liuse was not stupid. She could hear the displeasure in Emperor Yongjia's tone. She wondered if the request was not made properly or if Emperor Yongjia was in a bad mood tonight and she bumped into him.

He was silent for a while.

Emperor Yongjia sneered, "Why, are you in such a hurry to return to the palace? Are you trying to fool me like this?"

Why think so much? Qin Liuse was speechless in his heart. Why did he care about so many details? Wasn't the government busy enough?

Although she was unhappy, Qin Liuse still said coquettishly, "I am always the last one to return to the palace among the sisters."

Emperor Yongjia pinched Qin Liuse's chin and they looked into each other's eyes. Qin Liuse originally wanted to say a few flirtatious words to ease the atmosphere, but she never expected that the more Emperor Yongjia looked at her, the more unsure she became.

When looking into the eyes of a tiger, I feel a panic as if I am about to be eaten.

I felt a little weak.

After a while, Emperor Yongjia asked, "Did you see me and the girl from the Wei family in the garden today?"

Qin Liuse was then certain that at that time, when Emperor Yongjia looked over there, he really noticed someone behind the rockery.

But what was there to be angry about? Qin Liuse just thought that he was unhappy about something else and said that this matter was brought up casually.

Then he said honestly, "My sister and I were in the garden at that time, and we saw the emperor and Miss Wei."

Qin Liuse tried to adapt to the scrutinizing eyes of Emperor Yongjia, "It's just that Miss Wei has made a fool of herself, and it's better for as few people as possible to know about it. That's why my sister and I are leaving now."

Qin Liuse didn't understand. Was Emperor Yongjia unhappy that she and Qin Huaijin didn't go out to pay their respects to him and his sweetheart?

Stand up for Wei Lanxin?

Emperor Yongjia released the hand that was pinching her chin and said, "You are really considerate."

For some reason, Qin Liuse always felt that Emperor Yongjia's words were strange. It didn't sound like he was praising her at all.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Qin Liuse said after thinking about it.

"Are you playing dumb in front of me?" Emperor Yongjia was pinching Qin Liuse's cheeks.

Qin Liuse's mouth was completely pouted by him, and she said speechlessly, "I really don't know what the emperor means."

Emperor Yongjia's lips almost touched hers, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's a waste of words if you don't agree with me. Why don't you do something else to cooperate with me?"

As he said that, he picked up Qin Liuse and carried her sideways. Qin Liuse felt suspended in the air for a moment, and in the blink of an eye he threw her onto the bed.

Qin Liuse twisted her body to hide upwards. Emperor Yongjia took off his clothes, reached out and grabbed her ankle, which was as delicate as white jade, in his hand.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at her, then slowly pulled her down, and Qin Liuse was under him again.

"What's wrong? Don't want to?"

This tall man was too oppressive and imposing. Qin Liuse thought about it and felt that it would be better not to provoke him, so she said softly, "I haven't served the emperor for a few days, so I'm just a little nervous."

Emperor Yongjia smiled and crawled on top of her, saying, "Nervous, why are you nervous?"

……

These words made Qin Liuse tremble, and he thought to himself, it seems that he has been completely pissed off.

But until my soul was gone, I didn't know when I pulled out the tiger's whiskers. It was so unfair.
