Quick Wear: The Concubine is Seductive and Seduces the Mistress

Xie An didn't feel the reality of having personally dealt with his first wife. He couldn't describe the feeling, but he just felt that they shouldn't have come to this point.

It's not that there's any love between us, it's just that we've supported each other for five years, and those times couldn't be faked.

For Lu Xiangwan, his relationship was more natural and appropriate, at least at the beginning. If he were not an emperor, the two of them could probably have lived their lives in mutual respect.

He was lost in thought and walked into the yard unknowingly. The wind was a little cold. He was in a daze when suddenly hands covered his waist and then he was hugged tightly from behind.

"cousin."

"Cough cough..."

Xie An wanted to turn around and look at her, but the woman holding him was very persistent and refused to let go.

Xie An was afraid of hurting her child, so he could only let go of his strength. "Didn't you say you wanted to rest well? Why did you suddenly come out?"

"I see you haven't come in yet, and I can't sleep. Look, cousin, the moon tonight seems to be more beautiful than before."

Xie An looked up and saw that it was indeed big and round, and the courtyard was brightly lit by the moonlight.

She said that Xie An used to think about the years before he left Beijing, "Why did you suddenly go to admire the moon alone tonight?"

He touched her hand and found it was a little cold, so he covered it with his big hand.

"It's not sudden, I'm just used to it. During the years when you left Beijing, I would also admire the moon on this day. I think you would do the same. Looking at the moon like this, it feels like you are still here."

Xie An nodded and said nothing more, just hugged the person a little closer.

For a moment, it seemed as if they were back in their childhood, when they depended on each other.

After the birthday banquet, life returned to normal.

Those people in the harem also knew clearly how favored Concubine De was. Even Concubine Zhuang, who had the support of the Empress Dowager, behaved herself well and did not provoke her.

After all, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were mother and son who became one halfway through their marriage. They had no feelings for each other, and because the matter of establishing the Empress had angered the Zhuang family, it was not appropriate for the Empress Dowager to interfere in the harem again.

Fortunately, Concubine De was pregnant, and the emperor would eventually favor the harem. Before the selection of concubines, the concubines naturally tried their best to compete for favor. In this way, they could live in peace for a while.

However, Xie An always liked to go to Liu Fuyin's place, even if he didn't do anything, it was nice to just have a meal.

"I heard that Mrs. Lu is sick again."

Liu Fuyin suddenly said this, and Xie An looked at her inexplicably.

"Cousin, don't you feel anything?" She smiled awkwardly and picked up some food for Xie An with chopsticks.

"How can I feel? My cousin is kind and generous again?"

Liu Fuyin breathed a sigh of relief. Now she dared to tell him anything and did not avoid him. However, Xie An just liked her frankness.

"When I think about how my child almost fell into her hands, my heart aches with hatred. How can I have any kindness in my heart? I'm just afraid that Your Majesty will feel sorry for you." As she spoke, she looked straight at the man, as if she wanted to find some tenderness on his face.

Xie An remained silent, helplessly blocking her sight. "What are you looking at? Am I such a person who can't tell right from wrong?"

Now he is in a state of not paying attention to or taking any action regarding Lu Xiangwan's affairs. Otherwise, if it is really as his cousin said, he will regret it to death if he loses another child.

Lu Xiangwan was demoted and confined to his house, and had to kneel down and copy books for a long time, which was a double torture for him both physically and mentally. His health, which had not been well recovered due to the miscarriage, became even worse. Needless to say, he looked ten years older.

She came from a poor family and placed all her hopes on Xie An. He always found some advantages in Liu Fuyin, an orphan.

So from the beginning, he looked down on Liu Fuyin, always thinking that she would not cause any trouble, and she also acted like a virtuous and generous person.

But when the person she looked down upon climbed to the same position as herself and took away her preference, her rationality disappeared bit by bit, until she was tricked into this state.

"Lu Baolin, there is only one-third of the scriptures left today. I hope Baolin can understand your majesty's painstaking efforts and not make things difficult for us servants."

Lu Xiangwan smiled self-deprecatingly.

Lu Baolin.

From the Crown Princess to Baolin, Lu Xiangwan you are really a failure!

She coughed violently twice, picked up the pen and started copying again, her lower abdomen aching severely.

She now realized that she might have been harmed by someone. Since she was confined to her house half a year ago, her health has not been good.

It was Liu Fuyin, and she started to take action.

By now, Lu Xiangwan also understood that even if she forced her way out and got to Xie An, he would not believe anything she said. She was his cousin, and they grew up together. He would never believe her!

She lost, lost miserably!

But Lu Xiangwan never felt that she was wrong. Liu Fuyin was indeed a serious threat as she thought. Her mistake was that she was not decisive and ruthless enough at the beginning, or she was too stupid to use a knife to kill someone else.

Seeing her copying for a while and then looking out the window, the nanny who was supervising her rolled her eyes.

"Lu Baolin, why are you looking around all day instead of studying? Do you think that once His Majesty confers the title of Empress, your house arrest will be lifted? You have attempted to murder the Empress's heir, and you deserve to be beaten to death."

The nanny had heard the news from above that it had been half a year and His Majesty hadn't cared about Lu Baolin, let alone asked about him. So she didn't take it seriously.

"Queen? Who is the queen? Could it be that bitch Liu Fuyin?" Lu Xiangwan's eyes, which were like a pool of stagnant water, suddenly came back to life and he grabbed the nanny's arm fiercely.

Now this residence is no different from the cold palace, and there are no servants at all. When the nanny was grabbed by her, she kicked her in pain.

He snorted in disdain, "Of course it's Consort De, who has the emperor's eldest son. Soon there will be a ceremony to crown her empress and grant amnesty. You, a disgraced Baolin, might even be able to be released from prison. And yet you dare insult the Empress! I'm afraid you don't want to live any longer!"

"How could it be... How could she be the queen? Why did it have to be her..."

Just as he finished speaking, Lu Xiangwan suddenly vomited blood and fainted.

The maid who had kicked her was startled and glanced at her colleague anxiously, "What happened to her? Could she be dead? It would be unlucky to die on a day like this. If His Majesty finds out, he won't be angry with us!"

"No...it seems like he's really dead." Another old lady sniffed and spoke tremblingly.

At this time, Nanny Gao, the only one left by Lu Xiangwan's side, came in with food. When she found out, she cried and cursed.

The two maids looked at each other, and a fierce look appeared on their faces.

Liu Fuyin's belly is very big and she is already seven months pregnant.

At first, Xie An could handle the lack of an heir to the empress, but as time went on, he could no longer withstand the pressure.

In particular, many families with daughters are eyeing this position. After all, who wants to work so hard when they can get ahead overnight?

Therefore, the advice to the queen became more and more frequent day by day.

When Chen Xing came to announce the decree, she was mentally prepared.

She is your Majesty's cousin and is considered a member of the Ning family. Your Majesty's mother's family suffered such injustice in the past. Now, only this one in the palace and the three women and children outside the palace are left in the Ning family.

Isn't it reasonable for Your Majesty to make your cousin the empress to compensate your mother's family? Who dares to object? Besides, the Ning family is in decline, and there's no need to worry about foreign relatives interfering in politics.

"Your Majesty, you are old. His Majesty said just sit down and listen to the decree." Chen Xing held the imperial edict in his hands, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face. He was a poor little man, but he relied on two masters, one of whom became the emperor and the other became the empress. Who could have a more comfortable life than him?

Liu Fuyin was indeed heavy, so she didn't refuse.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the people in Changle Palace, Chen Xing finally read out the contents of the imperial edict:

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

I have heard that the radiant light from the sky must nourish the spirit of Mount Kunshan; the radiant light from the purple pole must nourish virtue in the imperial palace. Your virtuous concubine, Lady Liu, has a gentle voice, a graceful demeanor, and prudent manners. She is as bright as a solitary moon amidst the clouds, as pure as a plum blossom amidst the snow, yet her heart remains pure despite the prosperity of the world. She also sympathizes with the suffering of the people and bestows her grace upon them in secret.

Such pure kindness moves the spirits above and brings peace to the common people below. Every time I think of it, it truly comforts my heart.

Now I only report to the heaven and earth and the ancestral temple, and grant you the golden book and phoenix seal.

I will anoint you as empress and grant you the residence of Fengqi Palace."

The ending has been stuck for me for several days. I finally decided to end it after the finale. There shouldn't be anything left to explain, hehe.
