The maidservant is too charming. I want to help her become the queen.

Faced with Li Xuansheng's questioning, Concubine Xian looked panicked and hurriedly knelt down.

Although she was also afraid of Lu Qingqing's beauty and favor, she intended to use the preparations for the Wanshou Festival to gain the power to assist in managing the six palaces, so she did not want to do anything to Lu Qingqing at this critical juncture.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was all my fault for my momentary negligence. There were so many things to prepare for the Wanshou Festival, and I'm afraid that someone might have taken advantage of the matter of Lady Lu's palace dress."

"I am willing to atone for my sins and seek the truth for you, Lord Lu."

Every word that Concubine Xian spoke was sincere, and as she had always been known for her virtue in the palace, Li Xuansheng was willing to listen to her explanation and believed that there was someone with ulterior motives behind the matter of the palace costumes.

"In that case, Concubine Xian, this matter will be left to you with full responsibility."

"Yes, I obey your order."

Lu Qingqing stood obediently aside, feeling secretly happy.

She had achieved her goal of finding out the arrangements for the palace costumes without saying a word.

Xian Fei received the decree and left in a huff. As she walked out of Yinglan Pavilion, she glared at Lu Qingqing fiercely.

After Concubine Xian left, it was not convenient for Li Xuansheng to stay in Yinglan Pavilion for long.

First, Yinglan Pavilion is the bedroom of concubines.

Secondly, his health had mostly recovered, and there were still a lot of government affairs waiting for him to deal with.

Li Xuansheng got up from the couch, and Lu Qingqing helped him change his clothes. She looked at the red rash on the man's face with a distressed look.

"Your Majesty, even if you are busy with government affairs, you should pay more attention to your health. This rash has not completely disappeared~"

Li Xuansheng sighed. After this illness, he finally understood the pain Lu Qingqing was in when she was drunk. He said with concern:

"Qingqing, I am a man, strong and healthy. The dizziness caused by alcohol sickness is unbearable for me. You are a weak woman, so I think it must be more unbearable for you than for me."

Lu Qingqing lowered her head shyly, her cheeks flushed lightly, her soft and boneless little hands, with trembling fingertips, gently tugged at Li Xuansheng's clothes, her voice was as soft as honey, with a bit of sticky sweetness.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding. My illness has been cured."

After saying that, Lu Qingqing turned around, opened her dressing box, and took out a small porcelain bottle from it.

"Your Majesty, this is the Fairy Jade Cream. I used it when I had a rash on my face, and it helped me restore my face to its original state."

She held the porcelain bottle in front of Li Xuansheng as if she was presenting a treasure.

Fairy?

Hearing this name, Li Xuansheng felt a little repulsive.

He is a nine-foot tall man and an emperor, how could he care so much about his appearance?

Common men don't even use these cosmetics and creams, so he is certainly not allowed to use this fairy cream!

Seeing that he looked a little hesitant, Lu Qingqing knew that he was too embarrassed to use it.

She secretly mocked him in her heart. She didn't expect that this man was so proud.

But if Li Xuansheng insists on not using it, wouldn't this handsome face be left with scars in vain?

Now Lu Qingqing has no power and no status, and can only make a living by serving Li Xuansheng in the harem every day.

Since she has to serve someone, she should serve a handsome guy to make her feel better.

So, she took advantage of Li Xuansheng's inattention, picked up a little cream from the porcelain bottle with her fingertips, and rubbed it on his face mischievously.

"Since Your Majesty can't make up his mind, I will have to help you wipe it!"

After wiping it, she winked gently and gave him a sly look mischievously.

Lu Qingqing's subtle movements were full of liveliness and energy, brightening up the heavy atmosphere just now, making it full of fun and vitality.

Li Xuansheng was amused by her playfulness, so he stopped resisting and let Lu Qingqing smear her makeup on his handsome face.

However, Li Xuansheng had an appointment with ministers to discuss matters today, so he did not stay in Yinglan Pavilion for too long. He was intimate with Lu Qingqing for a while and then left.

Lu Qingqing didn't sleep all night last night. After Li Xuansheng left, she immediately relaxed and felt very tired.

She looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She looked tired, with dark circles under her eyes, as if all her energy had been drained away.

She ordered Erxi to close the palace gates tightly and not to disturb anyone, as she wanted to catch up on her beauty sleep in the bedroom.

Lu Qingqing was in a daze and didn't know how much time had passed. He fell into a deep sleep.

She rubbed her eyes in a trance, and just as she was about to get up from the bed, she vaguely sensed a figure in the darkness.

"Who?!"

Lu Qingqing felt a little scared. Could it be that Concubine Xian was dissatisfied with her and came to take revenge on her?

She didn't dare to think in this direction, so she could only tentatively ask in the air:

"Erxi, is that you?"

The voice trembled.

No one responded in the room, and Lu Qingqing got off the couch carefully.

She was so frightened that she didn't even bother to put on her shoes, and her snow-white bare toes touched the ground.

Just as she was about to look further forward, her mouth and nose were suddenly covered by a big hand.

There was no time to call for help, and even breathing became difficult.

"Well……"

"Don't make any sound!"

Suddenly, the candlestick in the bedroom was lit by a fire stick.

Lu Qingqing's face was pale with fright, and her eyes were filled with fear.

The big hand suddenly loosened its grip, and Lu Qingqing didn't even dare to look back at that person. She just stood there stupidly.

"Don't just stand there, sit down."

The man moved from behind Lu Qingqing to in front of her.

It's Prince Jing.

Before he revealed his identity, Lu Qingqing never thought that this person was actually him.

"call--"

Lu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she didn't know what kind of person Prince Jing was, he was after all a prince who was particularly close to the emperor, and he would not murder concubines in the palace.

"This prince did not mean to offend you tonight, but there is one thing I need to clarify with you, my fellow nobleman."

Prince Jing was not polite at all. He turned around and sat on the chair next to the square table in the bedroom, lowering his voice to a very low level.

Seeing that he got straight to the point, Lu Qingqing decided not to argue with him any more and sat down with him.

"Your Majesty, please speak, but you can speak at will."

She was not at all stage-frightened and acted as if she was going to have a long talk with Prince Jing.

However, Prince Jing's eyes darkened and he suddenly turned his back to Lu Qingqing.

Li Xuanjing has not married yet and has never seen a woman in just her pajamas.

Lu Qingqing's skin was soft and white as snow, and under the hazy light of her gauze pajamas, her round, milky white breasts were particularly eye-catching.

What's more, there was a pair of white, tender and small bare feet touching the ground.

Although Prince Jing hated Lu Qingqing in his heart, she was his brother's woman after all, so it was inappropriate to treat him like this.

He was forced to shift his gaze and coughed twice.

"Go change your clothes before you talk to me!"

Lu Qingqing looked down at her clothes before she realized what was going on.

She reached out and grabbed a robe, quickly wrapping herself tightly.

"Your Highness Prince Jing, please continue."

Prince Jing turned around again, his face slightly flushed and his heart filled with shame and anger.

This woman is full of lies!

I guess this is how she seduces my brother every day!

Then, his voice became a little more severe.

"You haven't finished hiding your identity in Mingjing Hall. Do you want me to tell my brother, or do you want to confess to my brother yourself?!"

Lu Qingqing was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that Prince Jing was so serious about this matter that he even chased her into the bedroom.

"Your Highness Prince Jing, I have explained to you that I had no choice but to conceal my identity that day."

The fear in Lu Qingqing's eyes disappeared, and she looked into Prince Jing's eyes firmly.

"That day in the Imperial Garden, I had not yet finished what I was saying."

"I know you are investigating the Zhao family and the Queen Mother, so I want to make a deal with you."
