Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

The wind direction in the harem changed again. Everyone thought that the Emperor had locked up Concubine Xi for three months, and when she came out, she would definitely be favored less than before.

Now it seems that Concubine Xi is indeed the apple of the emperor's eye. No matter how big a mistake she makes, the emperor will forgive her if he says so.

Chen Xier has returned to her position as a favorite concubine and has been living like a duck in water recently.

En Chong seemed to have returned to the way things were before, but Chen Xier herself knew that the emperor had changed.

Taiwu Hall

Xie Yu was very angry and scolded the Minister of Personnel until he was covered in shame.

The poor Minister of Personnel is already sixty years old, and still has to endure Xie Yu’s nameless anger.

When he walked, his calves were trembling, and he didn't know how he had offended the emperor.

Gao Cheng looked at the poor Minister of Personnel. The Emperor had been in a bad mood for the past month and the Ministry of Personnel had been busy lately, so he deserved to have run into this.

It's because the Empress and the Emperor are fine and have started a cold war, ignoring each other.

The Emperor was too embarrassed to go to Zhonghe Palace, but the Empress hadn't shown any sign of resistance in the past month. If the Empress had given in, the Emperor would have gone there long ago.

Gao Cheng sighed

Even though the Emperor still dotes on Imperial Concubine Xi as before recently, it is obvious that the Emperor's feelings towards Imperial Concubine Xi are not as strong as before.

Now the emperor guessed that it was the queen who refused to give in.

"Come in, Gao Cheng"

Gao Cheng hurried into the palace and said, "Your Majesty, I am here."

Xie Yu had a cold face, full of dissatisfaction, squinted his eyes, looked at Gao Cheng, and was obviously upset.

"Did the Imperial Household Department send the records of the concubines' sleeping arrangements to the Queen for review?"

Gao Cheng glanced at Xie Yu's face and replied cautiously.

"Your Majesty, this morning, the Imperial Household Affairs Office sent a message saying that the Queen has already seen it."

Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "After reading it, did the Queen say anything?"

Gao Cheng wiped the sweat off his forehead and thought about what he had heard that morning. For a moment, he really didn't know what to say or not.

Xie Yu: “Hmm?”

Gao Chengdao: "Your Majesty, after the Queen finished reading it, she said, Your Majesty is in good health, not bad."

After saying that, Gao Cheng quickly knelt on the ground

My God, the Emperor asked the Imperial Household to send the files over to stimulate the Empress.

But the queen, not only did she not react, she also praised the emperor for his physical prowess. What is this?

Xie Yu was stunned when he heard this. He should be angry, but for some reason, he couldn't get angry at all when Lin Junxue said this.

During this month, he deliberately ignored Lin Junxue because he wanted her to know that the majesty of heaven cannot be violated. Even if he doted on her, she could not act like a spoiled brat, not to mention that she was the queen of a country.

Who would have known that during this month, he hadn't even been to Zhonghe Palace. She just stayed in her own palace and didn't come to see him. She was truly spoiled.

Xie Yu snorted coldly and waved his hand

"Go down, I'm going to summon Lady Li to sleep with you tonight."

Gao Cheng narrowed his eyes, thinking that the emperor was going to attack from the side.

Everyone knows that Li Guiren goes to the Queen's place every day, and the two have a very close relationship.

Elegant Palace

When Chen Xier heard that the emperor had already gone to Li Shiwen, her eyes were fierce.

Although this noble lady Li usually does not fight or compete, it is obvious that she is Lin Junxue's person, and there is no possibility for her to win her over.

Li Shiwen will sooner or later become a stumbling block to her and must be eliminated.

Liuguang Pavilion

Li Shiwen lives here. Although this place is a bit remote, it is indeed very elegant.

What Li Shiwen wanted was some peace and quiet, so even though he was given the title of noble, he still begged Xie Yu to continue living here.

When Xie Yu and Gao Cheng arrived, Concubine Li was embroidering.

When she saw Xie Yu coming in, she immediately stood up and greeted him, "Your Majesty, good luck!"

Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "Get up, are you embroidering?"

Li Guiren nodded with a smile and asked Chun'er to put away the embroidery on the table.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have nothing to do recently. Two days ago, I heard the Queen said that she wanted to embroider a purse, put some spices in it, and hang it by the bed. So I asked the Queen to give the purse to me to sew."

When Xie Yu heard that this was a purse to be sewn for Lin Junxue, his expression inexplicably improved a lot, and his body pressure was not so low anymore.

He waved to Concubine Li, and Concubine Li walked over.

Xie Yu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked casually, "How is the Queen doing recently? I heard that you go to Zhonghe Palace for an hour every day. I think you have a similar personality to the Queen."

Li Shiwen saw at a glance that Xie Yu had summoned her to sleep with him today, so he did not send anyone to pick her up. Instead, he brought Gao Cheng here in person with great interest.

It turns out that the drunkard's real intention is not to drink

It just so happened that she didn't know how to help the Queen in a tactful way, and now the opportunity came to her.

Li Guiren paused and said softly, "Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "Of course it is true."

Li Guiren then said, "I dare to say that since the royal hunting trip, the emperor has not set foot in Zhonghe Palace again. He has not visited the Empress on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. There are rumors in the harem that the Empress did something to displease the emperor and that is why she is being ignored. Although the Empress is usually reluctant to leave Zhonghe Palace, how could she not know about these rumors? In recent days, the Empress has not slept well every night. I heard from Qiao Xin that she woke up twice. That's why I thought of putting some sleeping spices in the purse beside the bed, just to sleep well."

When Xie Yu heard what Concubine Li said, his face became increasingly gloomy, and he felt a little more guilty.

For the first time in his life, Emperor Xie Yu began to reflect on himself.

Shouldn't he ignore Jun'er?

Jun'er was infatuated with him, and she suffered from a cold, so she could never have her own children.

On weekdays, even if you indulge yourself a little, what's the big deal?

Li Guiren looked at Xie Yu's face and continued, "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened between you and the Queen. But I can see the Queen's sincerity towards you. In the Royal Hunting Ground, when you were sick, the Queen took care of you without taking off her clothes. She was careful about everything and did it herself. I was moved when I saw it."

At this time, Li Shiwen also mentioned the royal hunting incident of Xie Yu being ill, which completely shook Xie Yu's heart.

Xie Yu put down the teacup and looked at Li Shiwen with deep eyes.

"Are you speaking for the Queen?"

Li Shiwen immediately knelt on the ground

"Your Majesty, I am not speaking for anyone, I just cannot bear to see Your Majesty and the Empress become estranged because of a small misunderstanding. I see how much Your Majesty loves the Empress, so I dare to say this."

Beside him, Chun Er was sweating for his master.

After a while, Xie Yu withdrew his deep gaze and his tone became much better.

"Get up, I don't mean to blame you"

Li Shiwen stood up, and Xie Yu also stood up, and said to Gao Chengdao, "Draft an edict. Li Guiren is a virtuous lady with a kind heart, and has won my heart. She will be promoted to the sixth rank of Guiji, and be granted the title of Lan."

Li Shiwen was a little dumbfounded

Didn't she just say a few good words for the Empress? How did she suddenly rise from a seventh-rank noble lady to a sixth-rank noble concubine, and was even given a title!

When did it become so easy to advance in harem status?
