My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne
Chapter 107 Sorry, I've been promoted again
Xue Qingyao seemed frightened when she heard her question and quickly waved her hands, "Sister Qiao really thinks too highly of me. How could I possibly have such ability?"
"Sister Xue, you are the most talented woman in Lingzhou, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Do you intend to be suppressed by Xue Youli for the rest of your life?"
Xue Qingyao said helplessly, "What else can I do? My father is far away in Lingzhou. Even if something happens to me in the harem, my father will be unable to do anything."
When Concubine Qiao heard her mention Magistrate Xue, her mind suddenly became active.
Her father has done an excellent job recently and is highly regarded by the emperor. What if she lets her father join forces with the other ministers in the court to report Xue Youli?
Those loyal and patriotic ministers in the court certainly do not want a seductive concubine who uses her beauty to seduce the emperor to appear in the harem!
"Sister Xue, there's no need to belittle yourself. At least you've served the emperor in bed. I've been in the palace for so long, and I haven't had a single chat with the emperor."
"Don't be discouraged, sister. As the saying goes, if you have green mountains, you won't be short of firewood. Some people can turn their lives around even after being banished to the cold palace. Why can't we?"
"Sister Xue is right. I have learned my lesson."
Xue Qingyao's words gave Qiao Cairen confidence.
That’s right, Xue Youli was able to get back on her feet even after being banished to the cold palace, but she was only under house arrest.
If she had the chance to sleep with the emperor, she would definitely win his heart!
Xue Qingyao saw that Consort Qiao was inspired by her words and stood up with a smile. "Sister Qiao, it's getting late. I'll go back first. You should rest well. There is still a long way to go. The emperor will one day recognize your good qualities."
"Sister, you are absolutely right. I will see you off."
Cairen Qiao escorted Xue Qingyao out of the hall and did not turn back until she saw her figure completely disappear into the night.
That night, Qiao Cairen did not sleep a wink and wrote a thick letter to her father.
The gist of the letter was that she complained to Qiao's father about how miserable her life was in the harem and how she had been suppressed and demoted by Xue Youli. She hoped that her father could find a way to help her win favor, otherwise she would be unable to support herself in the harem and might even bring trouble to the family.
Anyway, her father is a censor and has the responsibility to advise the monarch.
The harem and the court are originally one.
It is not just their family of ministers who sent their daughters into the harem. As long as everyone unites and puts pressure on the emperor, the emperor cannot offend everyone.
……
Prince Xian’s Mansion.
After finishing his business, Murong Ye did not return to the pleasure boat, but went directly back to the palace.
Hua Yin should have succeeded.
He would go to the pleasure boat early the next morning, deliberately break into the private room, and catch Murong Nan and Hua Yin sleeping in the same bed.
With him as a witness, Murong Nan would give Hua Yin an explanation no matter how reluctant he was.
As long as Hua Yin becomes pregnant with Murong Nan's child before he gets married, she can destroy Murong Nan and Chu Xinyue's marriage.
If she had been more successful and given birth to a boy, Murong Nan's eldest son, the fact that his mother was a prostitute would have annoyed Murong Che and Queen Mother Yin.
Murong Ye was thinking proudly, when at this moment, a guard came in with a man dressed as a servant, "Your Highness, this man said he has something urgent to discuss with you."
This servant was Murong Ye's confidant who was left in the pleasure boat.
He saw the servant's anxious expression and his left eyelid twitched twice for no apparent reason. "What's wrong?"
The servant knelt on one knee before him and said, "Your Highness, something happened in the Painting Palace!"
Murong Ye's face changed drastically, "What did you say!"
The servant handed him an account book and said, "Your Highness, everyone on the pleasure boat has been arrested and questioned. Thanks to Sanniang's protection, I was able to escape with the account book!"
Murong Ye took the account book, clenched his fingers tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand throbbed.
The account book not only records the expenditure and revenue of the pleasure boat over the years, but also records that the silver was eventually sent to Prince Xian's Mansion.
If the government finds out that the pleasure boat is related to him, Murong Che will definitely investigate him, and then everything he has done over the years will be in vain!
The accident on the pleasure boat also alerted Murong Ye. He had to act quickly before Murong Che noticed anything unusual!
?
A few days later, a memorial impeaching Xue Youli appeared in the court.
After all, among the newcomers who entered the palace, except for Yin Xuan'er, Song Jingsi and Xue Qingyao, who had served in the emperor's bedchamber, Murong Che had always turned over Xue Youli's name.
Now that Xue Youli has had a miscarriage and is resting in bed, it's time for the emperor to favor someone else.
Zicheng Hall.
Murong Che looked at the contents of the courtiers' memorial and sneered, "This world is my world, and the harem is my harem. How dare you meddle in the affairs of my harem? You all think you are the father-in-law of the emperor!"
So many memorials advised him to be fair and just and to have children for the royal family as soon as possible.
These old guys don't think that by reporting Xue Youli, their daughters will have a chance to take the throne, right?
Murong Che looked through several memorials again and found that the contents were basically the same.
He simply stopped looking and looked up and called out to the outside of the hall, "Wang Defa!"
……
Lingyun Palace, Shuiyue Pavilion.
Xue Youli was not able to go out during this period, so Chu Xinyue came to Lingyun Palace early in the morning to accompany her.
Chu Xinyue was complaining about the court officials impeaching Xue Youli.
"Are these people just sitting around with nothing to do? Why are they all eyeing the emperor's harem? If I were to ask them, they'd just be banished to Lingnan to farm, and they'd behave themselves!"
Xue Youli had already known about this from the Book of Heavenly Secrets.
She knew that it was Xue Qingyao who was instigating Qiao Cairen behind the scenes.
"It doesn't matter. The more people report me, the more the Emperor will feel sorry for me."
After all, she had been Murong Che's shield from the very beginning.
Now she is Murong Che's personal physician, working tirelessly every day to study how to treat his mental illness.
More importantly, she had just had a miscarriage caused by Lian Xin a few days ago. If Murong Che favored other concubines at this time, it would be too unethical!
Chu Xinyue also thought of this and nodded in agreement, "I don't think this young emperor is that easy to control. The more reports these ministers submit, the harder Murong Che might hit them in the face!"
Xue Youli opened her mouth, but before she could express her opinion, Xiao Zhongzi hurried to the door of the bedroom and announced to her, "Master, Eunuch Wang is here to deliver the imperial decree!"
What message did Wang Defa come to convey at this time?
He won't be...
Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue looked at each other and saw the answer in each other's eyes.
"Hurry, hurry! Let's get dressed up!"
So, Chu Xinyue took the powder from the dressing table, smeared Xue Youli's face with rouge and powder with quick movements until it turned pale, and then helped her out to receive the order.
Wang Defa looked at Xue Youli, who was kneeling on the ground, and immediately read aloud, "By the grace of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Your Highness Xue is intelligent, virtuous, and of a refined character, which deeply pleases my heart. I hereby promote her to the rank of Fourth Rank Consort as a token of my commendation. I decree this!"
Chu Xinyue, who was kneeling on the ground, poked Xue Youli with her elbow, with an expression that said 'I knew it would be like this'.
Xue Youli curled her lips at her, raised her hands and saluted, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"
Wang Defa congratulated with a smile, "Congratulations, Madam Xue. I have also sent over the Emperor's reward."
As he spoke, he waved to the palace maids behind him, and they came in carrying silks, satins and jewelry.
Xue Youli looked at the pile of generous rewards, and his eyes brightened a little, "Banxia, spread my words, everyone in Shuiyuexuan will get a reward today!"
