Quick Wear Dream Qiqi
Chapter 116 The Idle Concubine 2
Meng Qiqi ate the cakes on the table while quietly listening to the gossips told by several concubines.
I heard one of the concubines, Concubine Xin, say, "I heard that the Emperor summoned Concubine Li yesterday. I don't know what they did in the bedroom. When Concubine Li came out this morning, her face was as red as a monkey's butt."
Another concubine, Noble Lady Yu, chimed in, "Oh, that's nothing. I heard a while ago that the Empress gave Concubine Zhang a box of jewels, and then Concubine Zhang gave it to Concubine Liu. Do you think there's something fishy going on?"
At this time, another concubine, Concubine Xia, interrupted and said, "What you said is nothing. I heard a big secret. You know about Nanny Wang in our palace? When she was young, she actually had an affair with a guard!"
The concubines were stunned and asked for details.
Lady Xia kept the secret secret and said with a smile, "This matter, the secret cannot be revealed~"
Meng Qiqi listened from the side and secretly sighed in her heart that life in the harem was so colorful, with so many new things happening every day.
I can't help but wonder how many of these rumors are true?
Over there, Concubine Xia, under the questioning of many concubines, no longer kept the secret.
"Hey, don't be so anxious! Just listen to me and tell me slowly."
Lady Xia smiled mysteriously and continued, "It's said that Nanny Wang was a great beauty when she was young, and that guard was also very handsome. They fell in love at first sight and secretly got together."
"What happened next? What happened?" the concubines asked impatiently.
Concubine Xia sighed and said regretfully, "Of course, they were discovered later. The palace rules are strict, how could such a thing be tolerated? The guard was executed, and Nanny Wang was sent to the cold palace, where she lived a lonely and miserable life."
After hearing this, all the concubines sighed.
Meng Qiqi couldn't help but feel sad for Nanny Wang's fate.
However, how many people in this palace can truly control their own destiny?
It would be better for me to stay in Qingya Palace and be a nobody in the harem.
As for the emperor, what could he do if he was also asexual?
Meng Qiqi thought to herself that she would not be stupid enough to get involved in the intrigues of those ambitious concubines.
First, protect yourself, and second, live a peaceful and stable life in your own elegant palace.
After all, in this harem, power and struggle are endless, so it is better to remain calm and detached.
Meng Qiqi wanted to stay away from trouble and try not to have conflicts with other concubines.
You should enjoy the tranquility and comfort in the harem with a carefree attitude.
So, she felt that she could focus on her own interests and hobbies in the harem, such as reading, painting, and embroidery, making her life full of fun.
Occasionally, you can also chat with the palace maids and listen to their interesting stories.
You can also get a feel for the ordinary concubines being served in the harem, which makes you happy just thinking about it.
Just when Meng Qiqi was lost in thought, Concubine Xia called out to her.
"Sister Meng, you have been sitting here for a while. Why don't you talk so much? Why don't you tell us some interesting things outside the palace today?" Concubine Xia looked at Meng Qiqi with a smile.
Meng Qiqi came back to her senses and smiled slightly: "I am just a little concubine. I usually stay at home and never go out. How can there be any fun things?"
"Oh, Sister Meng, don't be so modest. Just say a few words." Yu Guiren on the side echoed.
Meng Qiqi thought for a moment and said, "Yesterday I heard the palace maids say that there's a new kind of cake that's popular outside the palace. It's called 'Thousand Layer Pastry'. It's said to be sweet and delicious, leaving a lasting aftertaste."
"Oh? There are such delicious pastries?" The concubines all showed curious expressions.
"Yes, I want to try it too." Meng Qiqi smiled and said, "But there are so many rules in this palace, I'm afraid it will be difficult to eat it."
"If there is a chance, I will definitely ask the palace maids to buy some back to try." After Lady Xia said this, everyone else echoed her.
Meng Qiqi looked at them and secretly felt lucky that she had chosen to keep a low profile.
When you are in this deep palace, the best way to protect yourself is to avoid trouble.
After chatting with the concubines for a while, Meng Qiqi said goodbye to them and returned to Qingya Palace.
Along the way, she strolled along the paths of the palace, admiring the beautiful scenery around her.
Various beautiful flowers are blooming in the flower beds along the roadside of the Imperial Garden, and the breeze brings bursts of floral fragrance.
As she walked, Meng Qiqi couldn't help but think of the conversation she had just had with the concubines.
They are always curious about things outside the palace, but they can look at these things with a calm attitude.
Back at Qingya Palace, Meng Qiqi sat by the window, took out a book and began to read quietly.
The sunlight shone through the window onto her, warm and comfortable.
Immersed in the world of books, my depressed mood from yesterday gradually calmed down.
"Master, do you want to spread good deeds?" A palace maid asked Meng Qiqi for her opinion.
"Spread it." Meng Qiqi said lightly.
After a while, several palace maids came in carrying various delicacies and placed them on the table.
Meng Qiqi took a look and saw that they were all precious ingredients and exquisite snacks.
This noble person’s share is also good!
After Meng Qiqi sat down, she slowly savored each dish, feeling their flavor and texture.
These foods are not only delicious but also nutritious, and are a treatment only the nobles can enjoy.
After eating, Meng Qiqi asked the palace maids to distribute the remaining food to other people in the palace.
"Your Excellency is so kind." The palace maid beside her whispered.
Meng Qiqi smiled and said nothing.
You know, in this harem, kindness does not necessarily bring good results.
After dinner, Meng Qiqi felt a little tired, so she asked the palace maid to prepare hot water and planned to take a good bath to relax.
Just like yesterday, the palace maids quickly prepared a bathtub and hot water, and sprinkled some flower petals on it, creating a fragrant aroma.
Meng Qiqi walked into the bathroom and slowly stepped into the bathtub, feeling the warmth of the hot water and the softness of the petals.
Close your eyes gently and enjoy the tranquility and comfort.
After taking a bath, Meng Qiqi felt much more relaxed, as if all her worries had been washed away.
With the help of the palace maid, she changed into clean clothes, sat in front of the mirror, and carefully combed her hair.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but sigh that even in this deep palace, I must not forget to take care of myself.
The palace maids stared at Meng Qiqi's face blankly, their eyes filled with awe and envy.
Several people whispered to each other, praising Meng Qiqi's beauty, and some even shed tears uncontrollably.
"Oh my god, she's breathtakingly beautiful!"
"I have never seen such a beautiful woman!"
"How wonderful it would be if I could always serve you..."
One of the palace maids stretched out her hand obsessively, wanting to touch Meng Qiqi's hair, but quickly retracted her hand for fear of offending her.
Meng Qiqi noticed the actions of the palace maids and felt helpless.
She is well aware of the turmoil her beauty will cause in the harem, but these simple palace maids are unable to understand the complexity of it.
Fortunately, I put an ignore talisman on my body this morning. No one should notice my appearance except at night.
