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

at dinner

Xie Yu drank one glass after another, and the Jiangnan officials sitting below him were scolded a lot in the past few days.

Everyone knew that Xie Yu was in a bad mood, so they all lowered their heads and looked submissive, for fear of making Xie Yu unhappy again.

Lin Junxue sat beside him, enjoying the singing and dancing below, looking quite relaxed and contented.

Speaking of the women from the water towns of Jiangnan, their singing and dancing are three times better than those in Kyoto.

From the moment she came in and sat down until now, Lin Junxue just greeted Xie Yu without even looking at him twice.

The other concubines took turns to toast, but Lin Junxue just watched with a smile.

Chen Mi sat below with a smile on his face, Qiao Xin leaned over to pour a glass of wine, and whispered, "My queen, Jin Ronghua is not here anymore."

Lin Junxue picked up the wine glass with an ambiguous expression. Perhaps she had guessed what Zheng Jin had done?

When he was in the palace some time ago, Zheng Jin had been practicing Jiangnan folk songs.

Today's banquet is a great opportunity. It seems that Zheng Jin is planning to regain favor at this banquet. It's a good intention.

Sure enough, just after Lin Junxue put down her wine glass, pleasant string music could be heard from the distance of the banquet.

Everyone looked over immediately and saw the dancer holding up a light drum, and then a woman wearing a veil came out.

She had a charming figure and every move was very alluring. Then she stepped on the drum, danced gracefully and sang the gentle and tender Jiangnan tune.

On the main seat.

Xie Yu stared at Zheng Jin who was dancing below, and looked obviously attracted.

The concubines all had different expressions. For example, Sun Manrou looked like she was about to bite her teeth to pieces.

We are all in the palace, how can that layer of gauze that makes things more revealing be hidden?

Everyone could tell at a glance that it was Zheng Jin who had just retreated.

No wonder this vixen wasn't here just now.

It turns out that she had ulterior motives and was planning to seduce the emperor.

Li Shiwen and Zhang Yuyan sat together. They didn't care and neither of them had the intention of competing for favor.

Naturally, the two of them didn't take Zheng Jin's dance and music performance today to heart.

Chen Mi didn't look at Zheng Jin who was dancing, but instead set his eyes on Lin Junxue.

Lin Junxue also looked at her, smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, took a sip slowly, and her expression was very indifferent.

Zheng Jin danced to win favor today. The one who should be anxious is not her, but Chen Mi who is currently in favor.

Chen Mi retracted his gaze and looked at the emperor. It was obvious that Xie Yu was very interested in Zheng Jin's dance today.

Until Zheng Jin finished dancing, she stepped forward, took off her veil, and greeted him with a charming look.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty."

Zheng Jin raised his head and looked at Xie Yu lovingly.

Xie Yu said, "That's right, Gao Cheng, give me some wine."

Although Xie Yu didn't say much, his eyes were very clear.

Everyone knew that the person who would sleep with them tonight would be Zheng Jin.

Zheng Jin smiled shyly, returned to his seat, and felt secretly proud of himself.

Her days of practice were worth it, and the emperor finally looked at her straight in the eye again.

The days of Concubine Mi serving the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber are coming to an end, and now it is her turn.

Xie Yu suddenly looked at Lin Junxue, his eyes seemed to be slightly drunk, and he said in a deep voice

"Empress, Jin Ronghua has put in a lot of effort to please me. Do you think she should be rewarded?"

Zheng Jin was ecstatic, but he tried his best to suppress his joy.

Is the emperor going to reward her?

Zhang Yuyan whispered to Li Shiwen, "Sister, what on earth is the emperor trying to do?"

Li Shiwen frowned

"The Emperor and the Empress are having a quarrel. This is to make the Empress give in. Don't worry, the Empress knows what's going on. Relax."

Zhang Yuyan nodded

Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Junxue again.

Chen Mi's eyebrows became more profound

Was the emperor attracted by Zheng Jin's dance? Or was he just trying to piss off the queen?

If it is the former, it is better; if it is the latter, it would be bad.

Lin Junxue looked into Xie Yu's eyes, and there was still no ripple in her eyes.

She said softly, "If the emperor thinks it is good, then of course it is good. I also think it is good. Qiao Xin, please give the fine jade pendant that I got a few days ago to Jin Ronghua."

Qiao Xin agreed and went back to get the jade pendant. Xie Yu's gaze became more and more intense.

Lin Junxue said calmly, "Your Majesty, I like the white jade pendant you gave me a few days ago, but I have never been willing to wear it. Today, give it to Jin Ronghua. A beautiful woman with beautiful jade is a perfect match."

Chen Mi paused while holding the wine glass.

It has been almost a month, and the Queen is still at a stalemate with the Emperor, refusing to give in.

With such confidence, what can others or even she use to fight against it?

Xie Yu paused, his eyes changed completely. He understood that Jun'er was telling her that since the good things no longer belonged to her, she should give them to others.

Does it mean that she also wants to give him to other concubines?

Thinking of this, Xie Yu's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Lin Junxue pretended not to see it, and Qiaoxin took the jade pendant back and gave it to Zheng Jin.

Zheng Jin happily accepted it

The quality of this jade pendant is obviously top-grade. The emperor has never rewarded her with such a good thing.

Xie Yu held his breath, and when he left, he took Zheng Jin with him.

Lin Junxue and her concubines watched the two men leave, and then returned to their own courtyard.

Danzhen lights the incense

"My queen, it looks like Jin Ronghua will be favored in the next few days."

Lin Junxue put down the book in her hand

"During these days, the emperor has been accompanied by the concubines, and others have no chance. Tonight, Jin Ronghua succeeded in winning the emperor's favor, and she has set a precedent. Naturally, the other concubines will not be outdone. The days ahead should be filled with excitement, so let them do whatever they want."

Guyu leaned over and took off Lin Junxue's shoes and socks.

"Your Majesty is right. However, Your Majesty, I noticed that although the Emperor was very satisfied with Jin Ronghua's singing and dancing today, he kept looking at you several times."

What Guyu said, Lin Junxue could naturally feel

Throughout the dinner, Xie Yu's eyes were indeed always looking at her vaguely.

She and Xie Yu are playing a silent game, she can only win, not lose.

In the next few days, the person serving Xie Yu changed from Chen Mi to Zheng Jin.

The concubines were jealous and started to use some tricks.

It's not today, the pain in my heart, it's that accidental encounter I created on the road that Xie Yu must pass.

Anyway, the methods are varied and can be said to be very exciting.

Five days later

Xie Yuxuan invited Sun Manrou to sleep with him, and then it was Zhang Yuyan, Sun Shunyi, and Li Shiwen who started to share the love.

However, he never summoned Lin Junxue, nor did he step into Lin Junxue's yard, as if he had forgotten her.

Lin Junxue was also happy to have some free time and rarely came out of her own yard.

Another night

Xie Yu was drunk and on his way through the garden he met Zhou Wanqing, the daughter of the Jiangnan weaving master, and favored her.

On the second day, Xie Yu issued an edict and Zhou Wanqing was conferred the title of noble lady.

When Lin Junxue heard about this, she was not surprised at all.

When Xie Yu toured the south, officials offered him beautiful gifts. This was not a rare event.

I didn't expect that the Jiangnan Weaving Master was so generous that he even offered up his own daughter.
