The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

Lady Wei was a lady from a noble family, and the dance she performed was different from the enchanting dances of the other dancers. She wore a bright red dance dress, her jade fingers constantly fluttering, her slender hands slightly raised, and the wide cuffs slid down, revealing two white and tender arms.

The skin as white as snow makes the toad's blood on the inside of the right arm look even brighter.

Her waist swayed gracefully and her dance steps were light and graceful, she was truly dazzling.

After a few spins, her skirt fluttered, showing the girl's graceful figure to the fullest.

This was the scene Qi Junyi saw when he came in. He paused for a moment, but then he looked away and slowly raised his eyes to look at the girl who was sitting crookedly above him.

Liu Rong, who was following closely behind, secretly said that something was wrong, bent his body slightly, and took half a step back without leaving any trace.

Qi Junyi was not allowed to inform the eunuchs guarding the gate when he came to Ning'an Palace, so even though the emperor had arrived, the concubines in the palace were still unaware of it and were all watching Concubine Wei's dance in the center of the hall attentively.

Jiang Lingyue, with her chin supported by one hand, leaned lazily on the soft pillow, watching the graceful and charming dance of Concubine Wei below. Two palace maids stood beside her, one was fanning her, the other was massaging her legs, and there was another squatting in front of her, peeling grapes for her.

She was so relaxed and comfortable. Even the emperor who was busy reviewing memorials in Guang'an Hall was probably not as happy as she was.

Jiang Lingyue swallowed the crystal clear grape flesh when she realized someone was staring at her. She looked up inadvertently and her expression suddenly changed.

"Your Majesty has arrived," she sat up straight and stood up, taking small steps down the steps to greet him, saying with a smile, "I am rude and failed to greet you in person in time. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

After she performed a series of actions, the concubines below finally realized that the emperor had arrived without them noticing.

Soon, the singing and dancing in the palace stopped, and all the concubines bowed to the ground, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

The world is peaceful and prosperous now, and the atmosphere is very open. Women's summer dresses are extremely light and thin. The necklines of their chest-length skirts open slightly when they bow, revealing patches of snow-white skin.

Jiang Lingyue glanced at them casually and couldn't help but praise their beauty. She thought to herself that these girls were really ambitious and would never miss any opportunity to stand out.

Unfortunately, the young emperor didn't even lower his eyes, as if he was looking at a blind man. He went straight to the top and sat down in the seat where she had just sat.

Jiang Lingyue, who was left behind, felt her heart skip a beat.

These days, whenever she bowed, he would reach out to support her and then pull her to sit down.

...Are you unhappy?

The hall was filled with beautiful women who were waiting for his favor. They were all as young as flower buds, and even the air was filled with the fragrance of their cosmetics.

She felt happy just looking at him, but he was still unhappy?

Thoughts surged in her mind, but she showed no sign of it on her face. Jiang Lingyue sat down in the main seat on the other side.

The palace maid carefully served hot tea and then respectfully withdrew.

Qi Junyi opened the lid of the teacup and casually scraped it, leaving the beauties kneeling on the ground below without any intention of calling them to get up.

In the silent hall, the only sound was the scraping of his tea lid against the rim of the cup.

After just a few breaths of waiting, several concubines' cheeks were flushed with nervousness, their bodies were trembling slightly, and some of their backs were wet with sweat.

"Your Majesty..." Jiang Lingyue could no longer sit still.

Qi Junyi hummed and looked up at her, "What's wrong?"

His expression was calm, and his eyes were even more unperturbed, as if he had no intention of deliberately making things difficult for anyone.

Being stared at like that, Jiang Lingyue paused for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered, "Even if you're unhappy, tell them to get up first. Sister Zhao is pregnant with the royal heir and is still kneeling on the ground."

Concubine Zhao is only two months pregnant now, and the fetus is not yet firmly in the baby's position, which is the time when accidents are most likely to happen.

Jiang Lingyue herself had a miscarriage due to kneeling for a long time. At that time, she had not even discovered that she was pregnant, and the child left her.

In her eyes, kneeling for a long time is almost equivalent to an abortion pill for a pregnant woman.

Concubine Zhao came to her palace every day, wanting to let her raise her unborn child. She had some kind of affection for her. Besides, this was her territory. If something really happened, even though it was the emperor who made them kneel, she, the mistress of the palace, would not be able to escape responsibility if she did not remind them.

She boasted that she had considered everything very carefully, but Qi Junyi lowered his eyes to look at Concubine Zhao who was kneeling below him, but he didn't seem to care at all. He just said lightly, "My beloved concubine is truly virtuous."

Jiang Lingyue inexplicably felt that there was something wrong with his tone, as if it contained a hint of sarcasm.

Fortunately, after he finished speaking, he finally said, "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The concubines breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to express their gratitude.

At this time, Concubine Wei, who was standing alone in the center of the hall, stood out.

She stood gracefully in a bright red dance dress, the ribbon outlining her slender waist. The neckline of the dress was a little low, but she deliberately tilted half of her shoulder to show respect, which made her figure even more graceful.

At least from the high place where Jiang Lingyue was sitting, she could see almost everything.

Then... of course the people around you can see it as well.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lingyue waited patiently for a while. After confirming that the person was not going to speak, she coughed lightly and said dryly, "Sister Wei's dance is indeed very good. Has Your Majesty seen it?"

Liu Rong couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips and quickly lowered his head.

Qi Junyi put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at her, and said lightly: "My beloved concubine, what do you mean by this?"

"..." Jiang Lingyue pursed her lips, swallowed the words of asking for a reward on behalf of Wei Meiren, and abruptly changed the subject: "I want to reward her something."

"Is that so?" Qi Junyi said with a half-smile, "Just give your reward and don't give me away."

He did not lower his voice intentionally, so the concubines below could hear it clearly, and the already stiff atmosphere became even more stagnant.

Jiang Lingyue couldn't stand this strange situation any longer. She ordered Jinshu to fetch a jade ruyi and gave it to Concubine Wei. Then she waved her hand and said, "It's getting late. I won't keep you any longer."

The concubines below also bowed hurriedly as if they had been pardoned, and said, "I will take my leave."

Soon, the palace, which was full of colorful flowers just now, became empty.

Nanny Qian was very tactful and took the palace maids to prepare dinner.

Outside the palace, only the afterglow of the sunset that had pierced the sky red remained.

The hall was very quiet.

Jiang Lingyue was about to speak when her hand on the coffee table was held.

Gently pinching her soft palm, Qi Junyi forced himself to swallow the annoyance in his heart and said, "What does Yueyue want to do?"

"Your Majesty..."

"I'm not in a good mood right now," she began, but was interrupted. "Answer me properly. What did you want to do by making such a fuss just now?"

There was a rare hint of impatience in his tone.

Jiang Lingyue pondered for a few breaths, then said frankly: "You have seen it, haven't you? I can't hide my thoughts from you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fingers that were being held suddenly felt a pain.

"Why, they please you so much that you want to share their favor?" Qi Junyi's face turned cold. "Do you really want to give me away?"

Jiang Lingyue lowered her eyebrows and eyes: "I dare not."

"What are you afraid of?"

Qi Junyi spoke indifferently, lowering his eyes to look at the two people's clasped hands. His fingertips were stroking slowly almost subconsciously, and then moved up along the girl's wide cuffs. Finally, when he felt goose bumps on her arm, he suddenly stopped.

The aura around him suddenly became terrifying.

Jiang Lingyue shrank her neck timidly, and he grabbed the back of her neck, and then her whole body fell towards him uncontrollably.

"Will I eat people?" The usually gentle and good-tempered man almost gritted his teeth at this moment, "Jiang Lingyue! Am I so scary?"

It's so scary that even after so long, I still get goosebumps when he gets close to me.

How much resistance and disgust do you feel?

"No," Jiang Lingyue explained hurriedly, "I don't find you scary."

"Oh?" He smiled and pulled off her coat, his palm resting on her arm. "Your body doesn't seem to say that."

"..." Jiang Lingyue was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Do you want to hear the truth?"

Qi Junyi laughed angrily. He pinched her chin and lifted it up, looking into her watery almond eyes and said, "Remember this, I never like to hear lies, especially lies coming from you."

His eyes were dark, and his anger was clearly visible, completely lacking his usual calmness.

In her previous life, Jiang Lingyue was not afraid of his gloomy face. Instead, she loved to see his calm eyes surging with emotions because of her, but he was reluctant to do anything to her.

Every time at that time, she would think that she was different and that he was not indifferent to her.
