Quick Wear: The Concubine is Seductive and Seduces the Mistress

Liu Fuyin smiled, covering her lips. Concubine Zhao's face was extremely ugly, but she still explained: "Your Highness, I did not mean that. It was my inconsiderateness. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

"It's not that I'm not thoughtful. If Your Majesty doesn't mind, what else can I object to?" Liu Fuyin raised her eyebrows at Xie An and continued to speak sourly.

"Being accompanied by a beautiful woman is something that people would envy if they told others about it. Your Majesty might also like it..."

"This is getting even more ridiculous." Xie An frowned. "It seems that what mother said is right. Your rules are indeed not good... It's my fault for not teaching you well."

"How could I, Your Majesty? You still say you don't find Concubine Zhao new? You've been staring at her for a long time!"

Xie An was silent, he was speechless.

"Let's go back to the palace." He was afraid that if he stayed, she would say something even more shocking.

The man pulled her away. Liu Fuyin turned back with a smile, "Miss Zhao, do you want to come with us?"

Even if they were just talking together, it always felt weird when these words came out of Liu Fuyin's mouth.

Before she could say anything else, she was dragged away.

Life in the palace was relatively peaceful. After all, one could not sleep with the emperor in the harem until the 27th day of mourning was over. With no one fighting for anything, the harem was naturally peaceful.

But it was different in the previous dynasty. There were many things to do right after he ascended the throne. Xie An worked non-stop for several days and finally finished the funeral arrangements for the late emperor. Just as he was about to deal with the mess left by the late emperor, those idle ministers started to make trouble again.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Xie An had just finished discussing the insect plague in the south with several ministers. He was feeling dry-mouthed and a little tired. Just as he was about to leave the court, he was awakened by the loud voice.

He looked up and saw the person coming out from the steps was the Minister of Rites, who was over fifty years old, pedantic but still adhered to the ancestral rules.

"Your Majesty! The country cannot be without a ruler for a single day, and neither can the harem be without a master! Your Majesty has been on the throne for over a month... I earnestly request Your Majesty to enthrone the Empress..."

The Minister of Rites was talking so much that Xie An couldn't listen any more. In short, there were only two words - establish a queen.

As soon as he finished speaking, those who had ideas, especially those headed by the banker, all came out to agree with him. They were earnest and excited, some even blushed, and spoke with a tone that seemed to be thinking for him.

Xie An just thought it was ridiculous that the queen was linked to the country and the people! Could the queen fight a war or give advice?

"Heh." A soft laugh, not loud, but clearly interrupted the discussion in the hall. Xie An's calm voice echoed in the hall: "I see that your words are sincere. I believe you all have ideas. Tell us."

"I believe that Concubine Zhuang has a gentle and kind nature, comes from a distinguished family, and has a clean and upright family tradition. She is the perfect choice for the Empress Dowager."

Xie An sneered, his words were blunt and his malice was not concealed. "Is this what the banker meant, or is it you?"

The people who gave the advice were from the Zhuang family's faction. When their advice was pointed out so bluntly, they all knelt down in unison.

Xie An didn't want to listen to their bullshit, and even directly dismissed the Zhuang family's idea, "The Zhuang family's daughter has become the queen mother, and a concubine, and the man has even become the prime minister. Now they want to make the Zhuang family's daughter the queen. Why don't you just give my position to you, Prime Minister Zhuang?"

"I dare not..." Prime Minister Zhuang looked terrified.

After Xie An said this, no one dared to mention the matter of making Zhuang's daughter the queen. As for the matter of making the queen... the old man, the Minister of Rites, was really persistent and was still giving advice.

In the harem, Liu Fuyin hadn't even woken up yet when she heard Lan Xin report that Concubine Zhao had arrived.

As soon as she heard who was coming, Liu Fuyin became extremely annoyed.

Just because of what she said last time, "You can visit me anytime you want", this Lady Zhao comes to her every day. No one knows whether she is really stupid or not, but she comes closer to her as if she can't tell that she is annoyed.

Seeing that the person in the couch had no intention of getting up, Lan Xin explained, "Your Majesty, I told Concubine Zhao that you were still resting and asked her to come another day. However, Concubine Zhao said that her visit must be sincere, so it's okay to wait."

Liu Fuyin: ...

Liu Fuyin was very familiar with this routine. She had used it many times on Lu Xiangwan before. She just wanted to meet His Majesty by chance here!

But before using this method, we have to consider the situation. She is someone else's good sister, and Concubine Zhao has never said a few pleasant words to her. It would be embarrassing if she came with a shameless face.

Liu Fuyin was too lazy to deal with it. "Let her wait if she wants."

She never thought that she would finally get what she waited for.

Just as Liu Fuyin was dressing up, Xie An came over. She could hear Lady Zhao's surprised cry even through the wall.
