Chapter 309 I Want You to Look at Me Really

The emperor's eyes were fiery, and the queen naturally knew what he wanted to do.

Over the years, she often had a strange feeling...

There are many women in the harem, and many new ones have been selected through selection in the past, but the emperor only wants to stay with him.

Some newcomers are forgotten after they have passed the clear path.

About seven years ago, two newly arrived concubines became pregnant, but due to their young age and lack of attention, they both miscarried...

She thought the emperor would reprimand her for not managing the harem well, but who would have thought that he would take everything on his own head.

He said that young girls were innocent and ignorant, and entering the palace would only harm them, so it would be better to do away with the selection system and let young girls of marriageable age get married... There was no need to admit new people into the harem.

As soon as the decree was issued, the whole court was in an uproar.

Despite opposition from court officials, the emperor did not care.

The Queen remembered the Emperor at that time, holding her hand and saying earnestly, "With Wen Fei by my side, how can I let other women catch my eye?"

The solemn promises made back then are still ringing in my ears.

Although the queen was heartbroken by the emperor's determination to deal with the prince, she still couldn't help feeling uneasy when she thought back to the past.

Under the emperor's scorching gaze, her body softened and she lowered her head shyly: "Your Majesty, please don't be like this. I am already old."

"Wen Fei is only in her early forties. She is really at an age where she knows everything. Why do you despise yourself? I... love you just like this." As the emperor spoke, he leaned forward.

The curtains were still hanging, the clothes were gone, and in the flickering candlelight, the overlapping figures merged into one.

……

When Concubine Shu heard that the Queen's Palace had called for water twice in one night, the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to pieces.

Why!

It's all because the son is incompetent, so why does the queen still enjoy the favor of His Majesty?

Twice a night!

Could it be that the Queen still wants to give birth to a pearl, and since Prince An failed, she wants to have another child?

But she still had to pay her respects to the Queen.

Looking at the queen's rosy cheeks, Shufei gritted her teeth in anger and didn't even hear the queen calling her.

It wasn't until the concubine beside her reminded her that she realized: "Is there something wrong with the Queen?"

Without the Second Prince's support, Concubine Shu became more and more arrogant. When she answered, she just sat there without showing any respect.

Fortunately, the Queen didn't care. Instead, she repeated, "The Third Prince has done a good job. I believe His Majesty's decree of reward will be issued soon. I am also planning to hold a celebration banquet for the Third Prince in public. I have been feeling tired recently and I am afraid I can't handle too much. I would like to ask Concubine Shu to assist me. What do you think?"

The third brother? Wu Tianxiao?

Is the Queen crazy?

Half of the praise for Wu Tianxiao's mission was to rescue the people who were sold by the Crown Prince's Royal Farm. His reward was equivalent to stepping on the head of the deposed Crown Prince, but the Queen actually wanted to celebrate for him?

Are you trying to please His Majesty without even thinking about it?

"If Concubine Shu is unwilling, then I will have no choice but to ask..."

"Of course I am willing." Before the Queen could finish, Concubine Shu replied in a muffled voice, "How dare I disobey your Majesty's arrangement?"

"That's great. Then, it will be up to Concubine Shu to take care of the female members of the royal family." The queen said with a smile.

Thus, it was decided to hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate Wu Tianxiao's success.

And the time was set for five days later.

Xu Rongrong was the Princess of Ping'an County, so naturally she was also invited.

She looked at the gold-embossed post in her hand, lost in thought.

"Someone's going to get restless soon."

Wen Yao was ironing clothes nearby and was puzzled when she heard this: "Could it be possible that someone in the palace would attack the Third Prince?"

"As long as the plan is well laid out, it doesn't matter where we start."

"The Third Royal Concubine is nearly five months pregnant and her pregnancy is already obvious. Will there be any danger then?" Wen Yao was a little worried.

And this is exactly what Xu Rongrong is worried about.

So she said, "You should stay in the mansion that day, and let Zhuyu come with me to the palace."

"Bamboo Rain?" Wen Yao was a little surprised.

"That girl has some skills," Xu Rongrong said with a smile. "Luo Shu said that she can do all the heavy work in the kitchen by herself, and she usually walks as quietly as a cat... If we bring her into the palace, she can help when necessary."

Wen Yao was also aware of Zhu Yu's skills, so she nodded and said, "Young lady, you are right. I will go next door and ask the maid from the Shangshu Mansion to come over and teach Zhu Yu some etiquette."

"Ah."

Xu Rongrong did not hide the fact that Mu Qianyin was pregnant from the two girls around her.

They also knew that their young lady was on good terms with the imperial concubine, so they treated the third imperial concubine sincerely as their master.

So Wen Yao was still a little worried: "But at a palace banquet, it is easy to avoid an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. Miss, do you want to remind the Third Imperial Concubine before going to the banquet?" "You girl, you are born to worry." Xu Rongrong said with a smile.

Wen Yao: “…”

"No hurry, let's talk about it tonight. I have my own plans for your young lady."

Wen Yao was confused by this sentence until...

When the moon hung on the treetops, Mu Rong appeared in Zhuxiang Yayuan.

"Rongrong, why haven't you slept yet? Is she waiting for me?" Mu Rong walked in with a playful smile on his face.

The last time they sat drinking in the garden, perhaps the peach blossom wine was too intoxicating, and she no longer resisted Mu Rong when facing him.

But Mu Rong fled in panic.

She originally thought that this was Mu Rong observing the gentlemanly etiquette before marriage.

But today...

He seemed to have returned to his previous appearance.

He approached with a smile, and the strong masculine scent enveloped Xu Rongrong's head.

She subconsciously stepped back.

But his arms held her in place.

Seeing Xu Rongrong's surprised expression, Mu Rong's mouth curled up slightly:

Mr. Shu’s medicine... is really effective.

"My Lord, you've overstepped your bounds." Xu Rongrong reached out to push her away, "You weren't like this a few days ago."

But is Mu Rong so easily shaken today?

He smiled brightly: "Although your drunken appearance is attractive, I prefer you when you are sober. I want you to look at me truly and clearly."
