Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Lan Qingwu hugged him tightly and said to herself, Lan Qingwu, don’t struggle your heart anymore. You can try to give it to him. From now on, your soul will no longer be lonely and helpless.

They walked down the city wall again and came to the Hundred Buddha Gates. Lan Qingwu touched each of the gates one by one, and she stroked the nails on them one by one. Emperor Shenwu followed behind her and watched her walk through the Hundred Buddha Gates one by one.

As they walked through the hundred diseases, Emperor Shenwu held her hand and whispered in her ear, "Ruoruo, the Buddhist door and nail you just touched symbolizes the birth of a new child."

Lan Qingwu lowered her head slightly, her cheeks slightly red.

Qian Hui, Prince Ding, Prince Kang and others followed behind, and soon they came out of the common people's road for curing all diseases and served at the emperor's side. They followed the emperor back to the long street, strolled leisurely until the crowds thinned out, and then escorted the emperor and his concubine back to the palace.

In the blink of an eye, the 20th day of the first lunar month has passed, and the emperor has started writing again.

One day, Lan Qingwu ran into Lady Li while walking along the Imperial Garden. After greeting her, Lady Li smiled and asked, "Lady Yi, where are you going?"

Ru Ping became alert when she saw her. After all, the unfortunate Miss Ye was still under house arrest and had not even been released during the Chinese New Year.

Lan Qingwu responded calmly: "Just take a walk." Then he was about to leave.

"Noble Lady Yi!" Lady Li called out to Lan Qingwu, "Your Majesty hasn't summoned anyone to bed for almost a month, right?"

Lan Qingwu looked at her: "What do you mean? This is His Majesty's business." In fact, Emperor Shenwu was busy at the end of the year, and she was sick, so he did not summon her to bed, but he would take time to visit several princes and princesses during the day.

Lady Li whispered, "What I mean is that Your Majesty will soon..."

She suddenly knelt down in front of Lan Qingwu with a "dong" sound. The sound was painful to hear. "It was I who offended Concubine Yi. I am willing to accept the punishment. I will kneel here for an hour." Her voice was trembling, her body was weak, and tears were on her face, making her look even more pitiful.

Not far away, several palace servants were looking over here, whispering, and pointing.

Ru Ping's face turned pale. Even she rarely encountered such a shameless person. Since the incident with Concubine Wan, no concubines in the palace were punished by kneeling privately, for fear of being criticized again.

A cold light flashed in Lan Qingwu's eyes: "Is this how you take advantage of Lady Ye? But you're not pitiful enough. How about this, I'll help you again."

Lan Qingwu raised his voice and said, "Since you admit that you have offended me, then kneel here for two hours!" Then he turned and left.

Lady Li: "..." In this way, she had to grit her teeth and act out the scene for two hours, even if it meant she had to kneel down. Several palace maids not far away watched this scene, some quickly left, while others continued to point and criticize.

When Concubine Jiang's maid Caiping saw this scene, she immediately returned to De'an Palace to report to Concubine Jiang. The two relatively favored concubines had started fighting.

Caiping hurried back to the hall, but she didn't expect that Emperor Shenwu was there too. He was sitting in the main seat. Concubine Jiang was sitting below with the second prince Zhou Chengjin in her arms, and was talking to the emperor when she saw Caiping hurriedly enter the hall, with a look of wanting to say something but stopping herself. When she saw the emperor in the hall, she knelt down to pay her respects.

Concubine Jiang had no choice but to ask, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Cai Ping paused, realizing that the entire palace would soon know what had happened, so she spoke, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jiang, I was in the Imperial Garden when I saw Concubine Yi and Concubine Li talking from afar. Before they had even spoken a few words, Concubine Li was punished by Concubine Yi to kneel for two hours."

Concubine Jiang was slightly surprised. Concubine Yi did not look like that kind of person, but after what happened to Concubine Wan, she could not try to fool her anymore.

Concubine Jiang looked at Emperor Shenwu, who had already sat up straight. He slowly asked, "What does Concubine Jiang think of Concubine Yi?"

Concubine Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Noble Lady Yi has always been quiet and aloof. She doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, but she also doesn't seem afraid of it."

She heard that on Concubine Chen's birthday, the usually aloof Concubine Yi made Concubine Ye almost vomit blood. In the end, Concubine Ye was confined to her room by the emperor, and she took away the emperor who was supposed to stay overnight in Yufu Palace.

Emperor Shenwu nodded and said directly: "She disdains to do it!"

He continued, "Li Xiang, since the beautiful lady likes to kneel so much, I will pass on my decree that she kneel for two full hours every day from now on. I will pass on the decree again tomorrow."

Concubine Jiang: "..." Tomorrow, Lady Li thought she would receive the Emperor's favor, but she received such an order. Your Majesty is truly...

It just so happened that Concubine Jiang was going to hold a small banquet the next day. On the day of the banquet, all the concubines from the six palaces were present, but Lady Li had already asked the palace maids to take leave, and her words were so moving that they made people want to cry.

The three concubines sat at the top, and Concubine Jiang sat in the middle.

Lan Qingwu sat in her seat and could clearly feel the various gazes from the people around her. They were probably all waiting for the three concubines to attack her.

Although His Majesty had issued the decree yesterday, Concubine Jiang still wanted to inquire about the details. After all, the news had spread throughout the Six Palaces, and all the concubines were waiting to see the outcome. Concubine Wan, in particular, looked at her repeatedly, waiting for her to ask questions first. Concubine Chen was still smiling sweetly, showing no other emotion.

Concubine Jiang put down her teacup and said, "Noble Lady Yi, everyone in the palace knows about what happened yesterday. Could you please explain what happened and why Concubine Li was punished to kneel?"

Wan Fei whispered beside him, "What else are you asking?"

Lan Qingwu stood up and walked into the hall. After bowing, she said, "I was just about to report this to Your Majesty. Yesterday, Concubine Li was the one who wanted to kneel. I asked her to stand up and not kneel for no reason, but she begged me desperately, insisting she kneel for a full hour, saying that only in this way could she gain Your Majesty's mercy."

"In the end, I couldn't bear it any more. I felt that she was truly devoted to His Majesty, so I suggested that if kneeling for one hour wasn't enough, I should kneel for two. Lady Li was very humble and listened to my advice. I heard that she actually knelt for two hours yesterday. It seems that Lady Li truly has a deep affection for His Majesty, and she would even disregard herself for me. In this way, I have fulfilled her request."

Concubine Jiang: "..." Then would you like Lady Li to thank you?

Concubine Liang couldn't help but burst out laughing. She had discovered last time in Concubine Chen's palace that Concubine Yi spoke in a very interesting way. It was rare to have such an interesting person in the palace.

Concubine Jiang and Concubine Wan couldn't help but give Concubine Liang a warning look.

Concubine Chen couldn't help but laugh and said, "So, you made Lady Li kneel yesterday, and she wants to thank you."

Concubine Jiang also looked at Lan Qingwu.

Lan Qingwu said with a solemn expression, "Today, I have reflected on myself. Although I had good intentions yesterday, I feel that the trend of 'using weakness to compete for favor' should not prevail. I also overstepped my bounds yesterday. I would like to ask Her Majesty Concubine Jiang to make the decision."

Concubine Jiang looked at Lan Qingwu seriously again, and felt that when she was quiet, her elegance and charm were all restrained, but once she opened her mouth or made a move, the eyes of the people around her would unconsciously fall on her.
