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

"Qingqing, I have arranged the sedan chair. You should go back to Yinglan Pavilion and have a good rest first. I still have some things to deal with here, so I will go to accompany you later."

"Yeah," Lu Qingqing nodded obediently and went back to Yinglan Pavilion with Erxi.

"Xian Fei, you should also return to the palace."

"Yes, the concubine is retiring."

Now, only Concubine Shu and Xu Guan's daughter are left in Xianfu Palace.

"Concubine Shu, do you realize your mistake for what happened today?" Li Xuansheng shouted angrily.

Concubine Shu was frightened by Li Xuansheng's pressing questioning. Is this still the emperor who was so kind to her in the past?

She couldn't understand why a little palace maid could compete with her position in the emperor's heart.

Concubine Shu knelt on the ground, her face covered with tears, trying to win back Emperor Li Xuansheng's heart by acting like a spoiled child, "But Your Majesty, I punished her because she destroyed the peach tree you gave me as a reward! She is just a palace maid!"

Palace maid!

Li Xuansheng's face darkened instantly. "She is already my concubine. Is Concubine Shu going to issue an order to depose her on my behalf?"

How can the power of the emperor be handed over to others?

Once these words were spoken, it was clear that they were meant to intimidate Concubine Shu - she had crossed the line.

Even the spoiled concubine who knew nothing about state affairs could hear the anger in Li Xuansheng's words.

"No, Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I just..."

"All right!"

Li Xuansheng has been worried about Lu Qingqing's condition and really doesn't want to listen to Concubine Shu's crying and quibbling.

"Shu Fei punished the concubines in the palace for no reason, their words and deeds were inappropriate, and their moral conduct was lacking. They were confined for three months and fined half a year."

There is also a woman from Xuguan.

Throughout the afternoon, apart from answering Li Xuansheng's questions, the Xuguan woman knelt silently in the corner, neither arguing nor begging.

Li Xuansheng realized that she might have helped Concubine Shu to cover up her lie because of her power. There were many cases in the palace where concubines flattered the powerful and bullied the weak, and said a few words to do favors. So he only fined her three months' salary as a punishment.

After taking care of Xianfu Palace, Li Xuansheng couldn't wait to visit Lu Qingqing.

In Yinglan Pavilion, Lu Qingqing was reviewing everything that happened today.

After hearing about Erxi and Yue'er working together to seek help from Concubine Xian, Lu Qingqing's brain was a little overloaded. She tried hard to sort out the relationship between all the things, but she couldn't figure it out.

Why are the women of Xuguan so afraid of Concubine Shu?

Why is her maid so skilled?

Why did she drag Erxi to seek help from Concubine Xian? What is the relationship between them? Is she forcing herself to take sides?

……

Lu Qingqing lay on the bed, thinking hard, and was so absent-minded that she didn't even notice Li Xuansheng approaching the bed.

Li Xuansheng found Lu Qingqing's thoughtful look very cute and couldn't help but hook her small and delicate nose with his finger.

"What are you thinking about, so lost in thought?"

Lu Qingqing was startled by Li Xuansheng's sudden approach. She cried out and subconsciously hid to the inside of the bed.

"Your Majesty is teasing me, and I am still sick."

Lu Qingqing was lying in a corner of the bed, her slender hands holding the edge of the quilt, her little head buried in it, only her pair of seductive eyes looking at the man in front of her.

Li Xuansheng felt relieved when he saw Lu Qingqing regain her former agility. He asked softly, "Why do you hide under the quilt when you see me?"

"My concubine...my concubine's clothes were wet, Erxi took them to change, and I didn't have time to bring back clean clothes."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Qingqing knew that something was wrong and a blush appeared on her face.

A little shy.

Lu Qingqing could accept three consecutive nights of passionate love. After all, the night was dark and all the intimate scenes became blurry and distorted.

But it is not night yet, and Li Xuansheng is standing beside the bed in neat clothes, while she herself is wrapped in a brocade quilt wearing only small clothes!

Suddenly, Lu Qingqing felt like a delicious meat roll, waiting to be tasted.

"Oh?"

A barely perceptible sly smile flashed across Li Xuansheng's lips. He supported himself on the bed with a pair of big, bony hands, and bent over, moving closer to Lu Qingqing.

"You...what are you doing? It's not even night yet!"

Lu Qingqing originally thought that Li Xuansheng came to Yinglan Pavilion to care about her condition, but she didn't expect him to be so affectionate right from the start!

erotic!

"What is Qingqing thinking about in her little head? It's not even night yet? Could it be that Qingqing prefers to stay with me at night?"

Li Xuansheng just leaned over to touch Qingqing's forehead to check if the fever had subsided.

But hearing Lu Qingqing say this, Li Xuansheng was very proud. The soft and beautiful woman was lying beside him, and more importantly, the person she was thinking about was him.

Lu Qingqing knew that she had fallen into Li Xuansheng's trap, so she snorted and turned her head away with her back to him.

Li Xuansheng's eyes were full of tenderness, and he patted her back soothingly, "Okay, Qingqing, I won't tease you anymore. The fever on your forehead has subsided, but you still have to rest well and take your medicine on time."

Lu Qingqing turned around and didn't want to continue the previous topic.

She moved closer to Li Xuansheng and leaned against his hand, "Your Majesty, I am hungry."

No wonder Lu Qingqing was so exhausted on the first day of her promotion. When she was kneeling in the Concubine Shu's palace, her stomach was already growling with hunger.

Li Xuansheng had dinner with Lu Qingqing. They joked for a while and then went to bed.

At night, Lu Qingqing couldn't sleep.

She looked at Li Xuansheng's handsome profile beside her, listened to his even and steady breathing, and involuntarily held the strong arm of the man beside her.

This is her only support in the palace.

He said he would protect me.

Lu Qingqing really wanted to believe that what he said to her was true.

She was just too insecure.

Li Xuansheng was very good to me. But, was he also so good to Concubine Shu? Was he also so good to the Queen? And did the other beauties in the harem have the same idea as me?

Lu Qingqing wanted to survive in the harem. She was looking forward to her future very much, but she did not dare to pin too much on Li Xuansheng.

Who can figure out a generation of emperors?

As he was thinking, Lu Qingqing became extremely tired and fell into a deep sleep.

We hugged each other with our clothes on, and had a dreamless night.

"My lord, my lord, it's time to get up!"

The next morning, Lu Qingqing was woken up by Erxi's voice before she had enough sleep.

"Erxi, let me sleep a little longer."

Lu Qingqing mumbled in response, yawned, and was about to fall asleep again.

Erxi saw that the situation was not good, and hurried forward to wake Lu Qingqing up, "My lady, don't sleep anymore. Today is your big day, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will come to announce the decree soon!"

“Da Xi…what Da Xi…aren’t your names Er Xi…” Lu Qingqing was helped to sit up by Er Xi, but she was not fully conscious yet.

"My dear, you were asleep at the time and you didn't know that the emperor would issue an edict to confer you the title of noble lady when he wakes up this morning!"

"Noble man!"

Lu Qingqing shuddered and woke up instantly.

The promotion came too suddenly!

From a court lady to a noble lady, Lu Qingqing was promoted three levels overnight, which was unique in the palace!
