Before Lu Qingqing could react, a bright yellow figure stepped into the room and she hurriedly saluted.

"You just moved here, I came to see you."

Li Xuansheng walked quickly forward and helped up the beautiful woman who was kneeling on the ground to pay her respects.

Only now did she realize that it was no wonder that the emperor had summoned her, the bed-warming maid, for three consecutive days. Perhaps he had been bewitched by her beautiful appearance.

No prominent family, no noble birth.

If a small maidservant in the flower room wants to survive in the harem, her beauty is both her reliance on gaining the emperor's favor and the fastest way to get her involved in the vortex of fighting among the concubines in the harem.

Fortunately, Lu Qingqing was adept at dealing with an emperor who was greedy for beauty.

"I am just a palace maid. It is a great blessing for me to be favored by the emperor."

"Your Majesty, you have come to visit me at my residence. It is a long way from the Qianqing Palace, and it is June now, so the weather is hot. If I tire Your Majesty, it will be my fault."

vomit--

She finished all this gossip in a delicate tone and almost made herself sick.

She said she was considerate of the emperor and put herself in the lowest position possible. She didn't believe that she couldn't arouse the heartache of the man in front of her.

Li Xuansheng curled his lips, took her slender and tender hand, and sat her on the couch by the window. The palace maids who were serving her tactfully stepped back.

He said in a low, hoarse voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Qingqing cares about my health so much, I should also take good care of yours."

The man in front of her suddenly approached, and his warm, rapid breath fanned over Lu Qingqing's delicate little face.

So close~

So hot~

Although she had had close and intimate contact with the man in front of her before, when this handsome and heroic face approached her again, Lu Qingqing's strict psychological preparation still cracked a little.

The man's ambiguous breath slipped in through these tiny cracks, blowing an itchy warm breeze in her heart.

Oops, it feels like a heartbeat?

She was a little ashamed of her criticism of Li Xuansheng. With a handsome man in front of her, she couldn't resist the temptation.

At this moment, the greed without any worldly entanglements is a rare indulgence and purity for both of them.

The emperor's thin lips lightly covered hers, approached her, and entangled with her.

After a passionate kiss, Li Xuansheng reluctantly got up.

"Qingqing, I have to go back to the Qianqing Palace to review memorials. I will come to see you in the evening."

She nodded obediently.

"I am waiting for the emperor."

After respectfully seeing Li Xuansheng off from Yinglan Pavilion, Lu Qingqing couldn't wait to ask Erxi and Sanpang to count the rewards he brought this time.

"Just come if you want to. You're so polite even if you bring so many things with you!"

Gold and silver jewelry, jewellery and clothes, silk and brocade, imperial meal boxes...

She looked through one thing after another, her grinning mouth never closing.

There is no time to store the food in the warehouse at the moment. The important thing to do is to enjoy the imperial meal box first.

After eating and drinking, she wanted to take a nap.

Erxi reminded quietly: "My lady, should we go visit the Xuguan girl who lives in the East Palace?"

Although they were both court ladies, it was reasonable for Lu Qingqing to visit her as a latecomer. Living in the same palace, they would see each other every day, so their relationship couldn't be too awkward.

Lu Qingqing, despite feeling sleepy, picked out a few good items from Li Xuansheng's rewards and went to the East Hall to pay a visit.

However, before she could step into the gate of the East Hall, an arrogant and bright female voice stopped her in her tracks.

"This must be the emperor's newly appointed road official's daughter. She is indeed beautiful and extraordinary!"

She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in luxurious clothes, surrounded by palace maids, walking slowly towards her.

Her gait is graceful and her eyes are charming.

Erxi saw the person coming and quickly pulled Lu Qingqing's sleeve, "My lady, please pay your respects quickly. This is Concubine Shu."

In the palace, a higher-ranking official can crush people to death, not to mention that this person is the Concubine Shu, whose rank is far above hers.

"Concubine Shu is well."

Concubine Shu sneered softly and looked at Lu Qingqing who was kneeling on the ground to pay her respects in a proper manner, with no intention of letting her get up.

"I was wondering why the Emperor stayed in the Empress' Fengyi Palace for three days in a row. It turns out that he was tied down by a little vixen like you."

Her words were full of bitterness and resentment.

Lu Qingqing was panicked for a moment.

It was the Queen's instruction that the Queen was favored to be a bed-warming maid. Even if she was unwilling, she would still consider the kindness and decency that a queen should have and never made things difficult for her.

Beauty can seduce a man, but it will anger a jealous woman.

This was the first time she experienced the jealousy of the women in the harem.

"Your Highness, I dare not."

As soon as Lu Qingqing finished speaking, a powerful sound came from behind her.

"Greetings, Her Majesty the Concubine."

The voice coming from the East Hall of Yinglan Pavilion!

Xuguan woman!

It must be her!

Lu Qingqing looked sideways in the direction of the voice and saw a slender woman kneeling on the ground. She was wearing a black training suit, a jade belt tied tightly around her waist, her hair was piled high, and her wheat-colored skin glowed with a slight golden glow in the midday sun.

Even Lu Qingqing, who traveled from modern times, was stunned by the heroic attire of the Xuguan woman.

"If you hadn't come out, I would have almost forgotten that there was someone living in Yinglan Pavilion."

When Concubine Shu saw the woman from Xuguan coming out, her tone did not soften at all.

"You two are a perfect match living here. One is a gardener and the other is a carpenter."

The gardener was naturally referring to Lu Qingqing, who came from a greenhouse.

The carpenter was Xu Guannu.

Some time ago, the palace was being renovated, and Ms. Xu followed her father, a carpenter, into the palace to do the work.

Seeing that she was honest and capable, the queen kept her in the palace as a maid, and then used the same trick to push her onto the dragon bed.

The Xu official woman did not refute, and followed the words of Concubine Shu, "Living in the same palace with the Lu official woman is indeed a coincidence."

Concubine Shu chuckled.

"A coincidence indeed!"

"It just so happens that I have some flowers and plants in my palace that need to be transplanted. With the two of you helping me, I will be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

Hearing this, Lu Qingqing knew that something was wrong.

However, before the two of them could agree, the palace maids brought by Concubine Shu rushed forward, grabbed them and tried to drag them away.

The group pushed and shoved their way to Xianfu Palace, disregarding palace rules and etiquette, which was ridiculous.

The towering glazed tile roof immediately caught Lu Qingqing's eye. After entering the courtyard, a strong fragrance of flowers hit her face. The sight of clusters of flowers and flowing water under the stone bridge was very unique.

She couldn't help but sigh, is this the treatment of a favored concubine?

But Concubine Shu did not call them here to enjoy the view in her palace today. She pointed at the peach trees at the four corners of the courtyard and said coldly:

"You two, move the peach blossoms in the north corner to the east corner, move the peach blossoms in the east corner to the south corner, move the peach blossoms in the south corner to the west corner, and then move the peach blossoms in the west corner to the north corner."

After hearing this, Lu Qingqing was so angry that she almost bit her back teeth off.

Is this Concubine Shu a rapper?

Let me plant trees!

This is simply going around in circles and making things difficult for people!

She tried hard to think of a reason to refuse.

However, at this time, the woman from Xuguan who came with her suddenly agreed.

"Yes, Madam, I will transplant it right away."

With just one sentence from the Xuguan woman, the whole afternoon was in chaos.

What? She backstabbed me?!
