Quick Wear: The Concubine is Seductive and Seduces the Mistress

Despite saying this, Consort Ling showed no intention of leaving, her gaze fixed intently on the inner room.

Lin Mu wore an awkward smile, pretending not to understand her meaning, "This servant wouldn't dare, it's just that Your Majesty is indeed very busy with state affairs."

He forced himself to speak, but it seemed as if fate was against him; as soon as he finished speaking, a woman's sigh came from inside.

Consort Ling's gaze at him was already showing signs of impatience. She was wondering who it was that had gained favor right under her nose.

Liu Fuyin inside the house did it on purpose, and was even particularly bold.

Now that she's already in the palace, why hide anymore? She just wants to make Consort Ling unhappy.

Liu Fuyin sat languidly in the man's lap, her lips red and glistening with moisture. Her fingers slid down his neck and chest, clearly alluring enough to make one's eyes redden, yet her face was filled with a clear innocence: "Your Majesty, there's someone..."

The commotion outside hadn't subsided, and Yuwen Che couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed. When did the Imperial Concubine become so insensible?

He doted on Consort Ling because she made him feel comfortable and happy, and she was always attentive to him. He couldn't possibly be an emperor who had to coax her.

The hands that had slid down to his waist suddenly tightened, and the person in his arms trembled slightly, as if in fear.

Lin Mu entered again with his head down, "Your Majesty, what about the Imperial Concubine..."

Yuwen Che interrupted him without any politeness, "If you can't do a good job as the steward, there are plenty of people who can take your place."

These words were not directed at Lin Mu, but clearly at Consort Ling outside. Lin Mu understood immediately, "It was this servant's dereliction of duty, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

This time, I don't know what he said when he went out, but it was noticeably quiet outside for a moment, followed by the sound of light footsteps.

People are gone.

The person in his arms trembled slightly, as if stimulated by something. Yuwen Che narrowed his eyes, hooked her chin, and forced her to look up at him. "Tell me, what are you afraid of?"

"I...I'm afraid of being discovered..." At the mention of being discovered, the person in his arms seemed to recall something terrifying, and her expression instantly turned deathly pale. However, meeting the man's unyielding gaze, she had no choice but to speak: "I was just thinking about the day the county princess found the villa, and she caught them in bed together like this. With one kick, her sister, who was of equal status to me, lost her child..."

The guards had reported this matter, but since it wasn't A-Yin who was in trouble, they didn't take it to heart.

However, that statement was truly inappropriate.

He stared intently at the man, "What do you mean by catching someone in the act? You are my man, so it is perfectly legitimate. Even if you weren't, no one would dare to catch me in the act."

Liu Fuyin nestled her face against his chest, saying tenderly, "I understand."

A few more days passed like this. Consort Ling did not come again, but the Empress Dowager finally held a flower-viewing banquet, inviting all the unmarried noble ladies in the capital.

Besides Liu Fuyin, the Empress Dowager selected two more new concubines. Liu Fuyin was granted the title of Beauty, the highest rank among the three, and even the palace she was assigned to was superior to that of the other concubines.

Ultimately, out of consideration for her pregnancy, Yuwen Che used her poor health as an excuse to forbid outsiders from disturbing her.

Because Consort Ling had been in the top position, the harem had been peaceful for a long time. Suddenly, a new person arrived, one of whom was favored by the emperor. The stagnant harem suddenly came alive, and everyone was curious about who this person was.

There is no empress in the palace. The concubines fawn over Consort Ling and come to pay their respects to her twice a month. Even the two newlyweds have paid their respects, but she has not yet seen that Consort Lin.

"It must be her!" Consort Ling said through gritted teeth. The woman in His Majesty's palace that day must have been Consort Lin. His Majesty even had Lin Mu reprimand her for her sake, in front of everyone, without giving her any face.

"Vixen! This must be the one His Majesty is hiding outside the palace. In all my years in the palace, no one has ever been so disrespectful. I will never let her get away with this!"

"She's just a beauty, Your Majesty, nothing to worry about." Huai Xi gently comforted her as she finished putting the last hairpin into her hair while looking in the bronze mirror.

"Today is the day to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. I don't believe she's going to hide in the palace!"

The Empress Dowager detests concubines who are arrogant and unruly because of the Emperor's favor. As long as she doesn't come, Consort Ling can imagine how the Empress Dowager will target and punish her. After all, even she, as a consort, suffered a lot because of the Emperor's favoritism.

Thinking of this, Consort Ling walked out with lighter steps. Several concubines were already waiting to pay their respects outside, including the two newcomers. Basically, the concubines flattered and fawned over her all the way to the Empress Dowager's palace.

"Her Majesty the Empress Dowager has not yet finished dressing. Please wait inside for a moment, gentlemen."
