Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Lan Qingwu arrived at De'an Palace, and just as she expected, Emperor Shenwu arrived at De'an Palace soon.

The concubines stood up and bowed, then took their seats in turn.

Emperor Shenwu sat on the throne, and Concubine Jiang spoke first: "Your Majesty, what should be done with this woman from Beinar? Should we follow precedent and make her a noble lady?" Lan Qingwu arrived at De'an Palace, and as she expected, Emperor Shenwu arrived at De'an Palace soon.

The concubines stood up and bowed, then took their seats in turn.

Emperor Shenwu took his seat, and Concubine Jiang spoke first: "Your Majesty, how should this woman from Beinar be treated? Should we follow precedent and make her a noble lady?"

The Emperor Shenwu remained silent. "No need. It's just a toy of the Northern Nar tribe."

When Lan Qingwu heard this, he knew that Emperor Shenwu was like most men and did not take the woman seriously at all.

Concubine Jiang felt relieved. "But Your Majesty must give Wuer Yuji a status eventually. What should it be?"

Concubine Wan smiled sweetly and said, "That's something we need to think about carefully. We have never had a concubine living in a cage in the Dasheng harem! If it were me, why would we give her a palace to live in? We could just build a cage."

Liang Guipin chuckled. This Wan Fei was really mean. She wanted to say the same thing. Liang Guipin cleared her throat and said, "Then what title should be given? It wouldn't be good if the position is too low!"

Concubine Chen also spoke up: "Beauty? She is truly a beauty!"

Emperor Shenwu did not speak either, as if he was thinking about how to deal with this woman.

Lan Qingwu looked at the people in the hall who were talking in low voices from time to time, and suddenly said, "I think the status of a woman from Beinar should be comparable to that of the three concubines!"

Lan Qingwu's voice was firm and clear, and in an instant everyone in the hall turned their eyes to her.

Lan Qingwu stood up and bowed slowly: "The status of a Beinar woman should even surpass that of the three concubines."

Emperor Shenwu looked at Lan Qingwu with some confusion. Lan Qingwu never spoke in such occasions. She had never been interested in the affairs of the Six Palaces.

Concubine Jiang was a little puzzled. Concubine Yi was always quiet and polite, so even if she was jealous, it wouldn't be right. Concubine Chen narrowed her eyes slightly, Concubine Liang was a little worried, Concubine Yang opened her mouth but didn't say anything, and Concubine Wen tilted her head to look at Lan Qingwu.

Concubine Wan said in disbelief: "Princess Yi, do you know what you are saying?"

Under the scrutiny of everyone, Lan Qingwu spoke again, "Of course I know, but think about it, my three majesties. Only this Beinar woman is allowed to not bow or kneel in the harem. She doesn't bow when she sees the three concubines, doesn't kneel when she sees Your Majesty, and doesn't bow when she sees the Queen Mother. Isn't she more noble and more respected than me and the others, and than the three majesties? Therefore, my concubine believes that it is not excessive for Your Majesty to appoint Wuer Yuji as a high-ranking concubine."

Emperor Shenwu looked at Lan Qingwu, speechless. Ruo Ruo's words were sarcastic. Was she angry? Was it because of the woman in the cage?

When Concubine Jiang and Concubine Chen heard this, they felt a little uncomfortable. It was indeed true! Just imagine, when all the concubines were bowing to the emperor together, only Wuer Yuji was sitting in a cage watching the concubines bow together. That scene was really...

Concubine Wan instantly found Lan Qingwu much more pleasing to her eyes. She snorted softly, "Speaking of which, I also wonder how the Beinar tribe raises its people so spineless? They have to be served even when it comes to food and drink. They're truly more noble than us!"

Liang Guipin agreed with it and nodded continuously.

Lan Qingwu looked at Concubine Wan, but her words reached the ears of Emperor Shenwu: "Empress Wan, I have actually asked the imperial physician and learned how the Northern Nar tribe raised people to be like this."

"Ah!" Wan Fei was slightly surprised. She just spoke her mind at the moment, not really wanting to know!

Liang Guipin's curiosity was aroused: "How did you raise it?"

Lan Qingwu faced Concubine Wan, but his eyes were fixed on Emperor Shenwu. "Use a medicinal bath! Soak the woman in it from a young age, and her bones will slowly soften. After a decade or so, she will be as soft as a boneless creature. Truly boneless! Wuer Yuji exudes a body fragrance, but it's not the flower petals, but the daily ingestion of a certain herb, which has effects on both the skin and internal organs, leaving her with a subtle fragrance that is intoxicating. As for her voice like a yellow oriole, it's something she's cultivated through daily practice."

She is angry! Emperor Shenwu is sure!

Concubine Jiang hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke, "So, this woman is covered in drugs! This... Your Majesty, this is not appropriate. If... it might harm the dragon's body."

Concubine Chen also frowned. "The Northern Nar tribe spent over a decade raising Yu Ji. What on earth did they want to do? Just for... this is really inappropriate when I think about it carefully."

Concubine Wan finally turned around a little and looked at Emperor Shenwu.

Emperor Shenwu put down the teacup in his hand and said, "If they don't dare, just send that woman to a corner of Chuxiu Palace and treat her as a lucky charm!"

Concubine Jiang nodded in agreement. If she could casually confer the title of Beauty or Talent upon them, it would also be considered a statement to the Northern Nar tribe.

As expected, she still had to stay in the palace! Even if Emperor Shenwu didn't favor Yu Ji, how would the civil and military officials outside the palace, the royal family, and the people of the world know?

When the Emperor Shenwu was obviously trying to change the subject, Lan Qingwu raised her head again: "I have another request."

Seeing the unhappy expression on Emperor Shenwu's face, Concubine Jiang advised, "Concubine Yi, you must be tired after talking for so long. I specially prepared some cakes for you. Come and try them!"

Not only Concubine Jiang, but even the other concubines subtly felt the atmosphere between the emperor and Lan Qingwu. His Majesty didn't want to hear anything more, but Concubine Yi had no intention of shutting up.

As expected, Lan Qingwu did not reply to Concubine Jiang, but directly said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask the emperor to order the imperial physician to examine Wuer Yuji and gradually remove the effects of the medicine in her body."

The hall suddenly fell silent!

Emperor Shenwu stared at Lan Qingwu, and spoke after a moment: "Is it necessary? I said I would confine her to Chuxiu Palace, and what she suffered has nothing to do with Dasheng! And it has nothing to do with me!"

Lan Qingwu did not give in: "Your Majesty, you know that this medicine can only allow Wuer Yuji to live for thirty years at most..."

"So what?" Emperor Shenwu said coldly, "Concubine Yi, if you let the imperial physician treat her, how many years can you extend her life? Wuer Yuji has been accustomed to living in a jade cage since she was a child. How do you know she is willing to accept the imperial physician's treatment and is willing to leave the jade cage?"

Lan Qingwu was silent for a few moments, then lowered her voice: "It's not that great! Your Majesty is right, I'm afraid Wuer Yuji herself doesn't want to get out of that cage and be a human being! I was too naive. I always thought that I could let her live a few more days, let her learn to walk, let her get out of that cage! Let her see the scenery outside the cage! Instead of being trapped in that cage for the rest of her life, like an animal! After all, she is also a woman in this world! A human being!"

"Princess Yi!" The word "beast" stung the Emperor Shenwu slightly. If Wuer Yuji was a beast, then what was he, who had appointed her as a concubine in the harem? What on earth did Lan Qingwu care about?

Emperor Shenwu was extremely angry and his expression was slightly cold.

Lan Qingwu slowly knelt down: "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Emperor Shenwu looked at Lan Qingwu kneeling down, and considering her pregnancy, he stood up suddenly.

The concubines, who were as quiet as quails, quickly stood up and knelt: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Emperor Shenwu pointed his bony fingers at Lan Qingwu and said, "Get up!"

Then he pointed at the concubines kneeling on the ground and said, "All of you get up!"

After Emperor Shenwu finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
