Senior brother is so awesome!

The following is the main text of the novel "{?$article_title?}" ({?$jieqi_title?}) provided by {?$jieqi_sitename?}. Please enjoy! Liu Tingpei was deeply captivated by her at first sight, but he could not confess his feelings because she was already surrounded by a handsome and charismatic senior brother. This time, she took the initiative to invite him after being secluded for half a month, and even used all her charms to seduce him. This surprised him greatly, but he was also captivated by her charming and alluring body. Every time he was in her body, he wished he could stay forever. He lived a life of drunken revelry with her, indulging in the world of passion and desire.

For three days and three nights, the two were inseparable, eating and drinking on the large bed that could support twenty people. Liu Tingpei freely poured out his passionate sweat, just to get her to writhe and submit beneath him. His wonderful bedroom techniques made him stand tall no matter when, and he wanted to devour her whole at all times.

However, while the two were enjoying their blissful moments, a huge uproar had already erupted in the Xuanwu Kingdom. The usually diligent emperor had not held court for three days, reportedly spending his time in the Fengchen Palace with Consort Yuechen. Imperial guards were stationed outside the palace, preventing anyone from entering, and all state affairs were postponed. The empress, upon learning of this, knelt outside the Fengchen Palace for two days and two nights, even fainting, but the emperor showed her no pity. In desperation, Prime Minister Feng, out of love for his daughter and resentment towards the emperor, relying on his merit in promoting the emperor to a high position, led all the civil and military officials to kneel outside the Fengchen Palace for a long time, shouting in unison at the top of their lungs, "Purge the emperor's entourage and destroy the wicked concubine!"

He wanted to ignore it, but the loud crying and wailing made the delicate and charming little vixen lose interest. No matter how the emperor tried to coax her, he could not stop his anger and left the palace. Ignoring all advice, on the second day of court, he issued an edict granting Consort Yuechen the power to assist in managing the six palaces and to listen to the government in the palace!

The officials in the court were all astonished. The ancient precept that women should not interfere in politics had been disregarded. Even the empress did not have the privilege to give to a wicked concubine!

Qin Yuechan, however, did not want to be the first to act, so after the sudden rain stopped at night, she lay weakly on him and said softly, "Why does Your Majesty dote on me so much? I'm afraid even those ministers wouldn't agree."

At this moment, in Liu Tingpei's eyes, she was a tormenting little vixen. Not only was her body and expression alluring, but even the words she spoke carried a faint softness and charm. Just sitting there was a beautiful sight to behold, and the phrase "born with a seductive nature" perfectly described her.

He tenderly stroked her fine, silky black hair, and scoffed dismissively, "Those old bastards are so stubborn! How could my Yue'er not be worthy of being an empress?"

"I am well aware of your favor, but the affairs of the court cannot be disregarded. Your Majesty should appease the old ministers first. Your foundation is not yet stable in the early days of your reign, and you must not anger them." She said softly, drawing circles on his chest with her small hand.

"Yue'er is indeed intelligent, far surpassing that Empress!" The tingling sensation in his chest reignited his desire. He abruptly rolled over and pinned her beneath him. Gazing at her breathtakingly beautiful face, he asked with a smile, "Why did Yue'er suddenly decide to embrace me?"

Her eyes were alluring, and her small hand stroked his strong chin. "Does Your Majesty not like it?"

"Of course I like it!" He liked it so much that he was absolutely crazy about it!

"That's good. A moment of bliss is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Hurry up and cherish her." These words, like the drumbeat before a battle, once again captivated the arrogant emperor.

The next morning, she got up early to personally prepare his imperial robes. Her curvaceous body was covered only by a semi-transparent water-smoke gauze nightgown. The emperor's numerous attempts to take advantage of her along the way made dressing a full hour. Before leaving, he pinched her chin and gave her a deep kiss, saying, "Wait for me in bed. I'll come and pamper you again after court." Only then did he reluctantly leave.

As the dark red figure left with a large retinue, Qin Yuechan's charming and alluring expression gradually faded, finally freezing into a chilling frost. Gazing at the empty bedchamber, she raised a cold smile. Qing'er, carrying the toiletries, entered at the right moment. Upon seeing her smile, she suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body despite the sweltering heat, and her numb heart couldn't help but tremble.

She noticed Qing'er standing blankly at the door, beckoned her in, and after washing up, she sat on the brocade stool and did her makeup in front of the mirror. Qing'er noticed that her mistress exuded a seductive aura in every gesture, and frowned slightly.

Qin Yuechan sensed her emotional change, but didn't stop applying makeup. "Just ask whatever you want to say. You seem really holding it in."

Qing'er was shocked by her keen insight, knowing that her thoughts could not escape her grasp, so she asked the question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time: "Your Majesty, why have you changed..."

"Have you become so shameless as to throw yourself into my arms, or are you causing chaos in the court and bewitching the emperor's heart?" The tone was lightly chuckled, as if he were talking about the weather today.

Qing'er hurriedly knelt down, her usually calm face showing panic. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just had some questions because you've changed so much."

Seeing her kneeling behind him in the mirror, he continued to draw delicate phoenix tails on the corners of her upturned eyes with gold powder, making her even more stunningly alluring. "Get up. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask in the future. Come and comb my hair."

Today, to match her eye makeup, Qing'er styled her hair into a phoenix tail bun. Two slanted phoenix tails were adorned with gold hairpins inlaid with rubies, and tassels hung down, swaying gracefully as she moved. Underneath her bright red floor-length palace dress, a gold bodice revealed a deep cleavage, exuding an air of noble and alluring beauty. Sitting on a phoenix palanquin specially made for her, the group marched in a grand procession toward Kunning Palace.

Before Consort Yuechen entered the palace, the Emperor rarely visited the inner palace, at most going to the Empress's residence. Therefore, none of the concubines in the palace had ever seen the Emperor. After Consort Yuechen entered the palace, she enjoyed his exclusive favor every night, and even the Empress could not compete with her. After the concubines came to Kunning Palace to pay their respects every day, they would sit there and chat about everyday matters. This was the only way to amuse themselves in the already monotonous palace life.

In Kunning Palace, the Empress sat at the head of the table, smiling as she watched the concubines below bicker and argue. The Empress's high and mighty feeling was particularly proud at this moment. Touching the corner of her eye, she noticed that it was a little rough. She secretly resented that the vixen Consort Yuechen had been monopolizing the Emperor's attention recently, but she was forbidden from entering Fengchen Palace and could not take the vixen's faults. This made her even more furious.

Suddenly, a eunuch outside the door announced loudly, "Consort Yuechen has arrived!"

The dozen or so concubines in the main hall of Kunning Palace were stunned. Consort Shu, who sat below the Empress, was one of the four concubines who had gone to Fengchen Palace that day. She looked at the Empress with a sneer and said, "Your Majesty, we've been searching high and low, but here she is, delivered right to our door. This vixen is the perfect opportunity for us to deal with her."

The other three concubines were Consort Xian, Consort De, and Consort Liang. That day, they witnessed firsthand how much the Emperor doted on that woman, even going so far as to have them beaten to death for the slightest bit of hard work on her behalf. Although they later feigned sympathy for them, it was probably just an act in front of the Emperor. If it weren't for her miscarriage, all four of them would already be dead! Their hatred for that woman was boundless; they wished they could rush into the Phoenix Palace and beat her to death. Today, she had delivered herself to their doorstep, and they were extremely pleased.

The other concubines were of lower rank and knew they had no chance against Consort Yuechen, so they remained silent and waited for the higher-ranking concubines to start their own battle.

She walked in gracefully, her alluring curves swaying with captivating charm. A faint smile played on her lips, and the golden phoenix tails at the corners of her eyes were mesmerizing. Her ethereal beauty astounded the women present, who were both amazed and envious. They thought she was nothing more than a vixen with a beautiful face, yet she dared to wreak havoc on the court!

Despite their inner anger, they all smiled warmly and rose to greet the Empress Dowager Yuechen: "Long live the Empress Dowager Yuechen!"

Ignoring the sweet, melodious greetings, Qin Yuechan looked directly at the Empress at the head of the table, gently bent her knees, and smiled slightly: "May Your Majesty the Empress enjoy boundless blessings and peace." Her soft, alluring voice seemed to still carry a hint of lingering desire.

"Hmph, Consort Yue is late, isn't she? Look, the sun is high in the sky, and you're only just arriving. Do you even respect Her Majesty the Empress?" A shrill voice rang out, belonging to Consort Shu sitting to the side. Her slender phoenix eyes glared at her angrily, as if she wanted to devour her alive.

Qin Yuechan's smile deepened. "Your Majesty was as valiant as a tiger last night, and I was truly exhausted. I overslept and missed paying my respects to Her Majesty the Empress, which is a great sin." As she spoke, her smile vanished abruptly, and her gaze toward Consort Shu turned icy cold. "However, how dare you, a mere Consort Shu, be so disrespectful to me? Do you even respect me?"

His arrogant and domineering words silenced all the concubines present, and his inexplicably powerful aura was even more frightening.

Consort Shu was momentarily stunned, but feeling embarrassed to be reprimanded in front of the other consorts, she hurriedly cried and said to the Empress, "Your Majesty, you see, Consort Yuechen is truly domineering and unreasonable. I only said a few words to her on your behalf, and she..."

"Shut up!" The words that were not finished were choked in the mouth of the Empress. For a moment, she did not know whether to cry or not. In the end, she twirled her handkerchief and sat on the chair waiting for Qin Yuechan.

The Empress was puzzled. When Consort Yue first entered the palace, she was quite well-behaved and amiable. How could she be so arrogant now? Consort Shu was also a fool. She had treated her kindly because her father was the Minister of War, but who knew she would be so ignorant of her own limitations!

Suppressing her thoughts, she quickly had a brocade stool brought out and smiled virtuously, "Although Consort Yuechen has arrived late, since His Majesty loves me, I will not dwell on this matter. However, since you have just suffered a miscarriage, it is not advisable for you to stand for too long. Please sit down."

Qin Yuechan noticed that the higher-ranking concubines on both sides were sitting in grand chairs, while the lower-ranking concubines, such as the lowest-ranking concubines, were sitting on brocade stools. However, she didn't care about that. She sat down gracefully and then looked up and said, "Your Majesty the Empress is understanding. Although I unfortunately suffered a miscarriage, I have been chanting sutras and praying for you to conceive soon. That way, our Xuanwu Kingdom will have a crown prince, won't it?" As she spoke, she smiled charmingly and covered her mouth with a water-smoky veil.

The Empress was furious. How could she be pregnant when she had been monopolizing the Emperor all day?! Fine, you're a month-old Consort Chen!

"Sister, you should take better care of yourself. Generally, women should wait a month or two after their period before they can serve the emperor. You're in too much of a hurry." It was still the same smile he never showed.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about your sister. His Majesty is very gentle. I...hehe." This innocent smile seemed like a boast to the other concubines, but so what? They were still virgins. Only she and the Empress knew whether the Emperor was gentle or not.

The Empress's smile cracked slightly, no longer as warm as before. Her eyes stared directly at her: "Consort Yuechen, you can't monopolize the Emperor all day long. You should advise him to visit his sisters' palaces more often. You must understand the principle of distributing his favor equally, right?" This was her final warning. If she didn't heed her advice, the Empress, she wouldn't hesitate to take drastic measures!

Qin Yuechan nodded obediently, "Your Majesty is right. When I get back, I will definitely tell the Emperor that it's really getting to you that he comes to my place every day." Her sweet voice was intoxicating, but her words were a slap in the face to the Empress. It wasn't that she wanted to monopolize the Emperor, but that she couldn't stand the Emperor coming to her. Ha! A bunch of foolish women, treating others with such ruthless methods for a man. It's truly speechless.

Feng Yunshuang's eyes blazed with fury, yet her words were impeccable, creating an awkward situation. So, only the four concubines and Qin Yuechan remained, while the others excused themselves. For a moment, only six people remained in the empty palace. The Empress gave Consort De a look, and Consort De, receiving the order, stood up and slapped Qin Yuechan across the face.

Consort De was the daughter of a military family, and she had practiced martial arts since childhood, so her strength was astonishing. If she hadn't practiced martial arts, she would have been caught off guard and hit squarely. With quick reflexes, she grabbed Consort De's wrist and looked at her with icy eyes: "What is Consort De doing? Can you bear the consequences of beating me?"

Consort De never expected that such a seemingly frail woman would possess martial arts skills. Her wrist, gripped tightly, was impossible to break free from, and the murderous intent emanating from those eyes sent shivers down her spine. Remembering that the Empress was still watching, she mustered all her strength and punched the woman in the stomach with her other fist. "You are too arrogant. Let's see how I punish you!"

Qin Yuechan sneered, grabbed her wrist, and turned around gracefully. Not only did she fail to hit her, but she was also slammed to the ground. Her wrist was dislocated as expected. She cried out and covered her mouth, staring incredulously at Consort De, who was rolling on the ground in pain. "Oh dear, what happened to you? How could you be so careless!"

The Empress was surprised to learn that she was skilled in martial arts. Taking advantage of the chaos, she spoke a few words to her personal maid, who then quickly ran towards the Qiankun Palace where the ministers were holding court.

A maidservant stepped forward to help Consort De up. The Empress looked at her with a cold gaze: "Consort Yuechen, why did you injure Consort De?"

She sneered. Could such a petty trick possibly stump her? "Your Majesty, I only saw that she accidentally fell to the ground. You have misunderstood me."

He slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair and shouted, "Are you three idiots?! Hurry up and teach this bitch a lesson!"

The three concubines looked at each other in dismay. Seeing Consort De's fate, they knew that Consort Yuechen was highly skilled in martial arts. However, they could not disobey the Empress's order to go! Finally, with the belief that "fortune favors the bold," the three of them took the hairpins in their hands and stabbed them fiercely at her.

Qin Yuechan coldly watched them, who resembled demons from hell, completely devoid of any royal demeanor. She had no intention of resisting. The punches and kicks hurt, but how much strength could a young woman possibly possess? Ultimately, the physical pain couldn't compare to the heartache. She was calculating the time, waiting for that person to come and save her!

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the door: "What are you doing!" As soon as the words were spoken, a dark red figure rushed to her side, helped her up and held her in his arms. Her starry eyes were half-closed as she looked at the man with deep pity in his tiger eyes. A faint but pitiful smile appeared on her lips. "Your Majesty, don't worry about me, I'm fine..." she said, frowning as she rubbed her arm that had been hit.

Liu Tingpei carefully lifted his wide sleeve, revealing a striking bruise on his fair and delicate arm. A sharp pain shot through his heart. His beloved child, whom he cherished so dearly, couldn't be allowed to suffer such humiliation. Without even raising his head, he asked, "Prime Minister Feng, what do you think?" His chilling tone drew her attention to the group of ministers beside him, heads bowed and eyes lowered. A cold smile played on his lips. Had the Empress shot herself in the foot?

Prime Minister Feng and the ministers behind him were discussing state affairs in the court when a maidservant shouted loudly outside the hall: "Your Majesty, go to the Empress's palace immediately! Consort Yuechen has gone mad! She wants to kill the Empress and the four imperial concubines!"

Everyone was shocked to hear this. Not only was the Empress the daughter of the current Prime Minister, but the four concubines were also the daughters and sisters of powerful officials in the court. With such a revelation, it seemed unreasonable for Liu Tingpei not to bring them along.

But when they saw that the one being beaten was none other than the beautiful and charming Consort Yuechen, they were all dumbfounded. The woman in the Emperor's arms was breathtakingly beautiful! Even though she was being beaten on the ground, and her hair and clothes were a little disheveled, her slightly messy hair and the charming frown of Xi Shi made people want to snatch her away and hold her in their arms to cherish her. In particular, the half of her proud beauty revealed under her disheveled clothes was even more captivating. Several young ministers even unconsciously had nosebleeds.

The arrival of the ministers also surprised the Empress and the four consorts present. Originally, she had seen that Consort Yuechen's martial arts skills were not bad, so she instigated the remaining three consorts to go forward and fight her. What the Emperor and the ministers saw now would be a crazy and ruthless concubine who had gone mad! Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Consort Yuechen hiding in the Emperor's arms and giving her a charming smile. She was furious, but she had to pretend to be virtuous in front of everyone.

Seeing that the Emperor was holding Consort Yuechen in his arms with such affection, Prime Minister Feng knew that his daughter had lost the argument today. All he could do was try to downplay the situation, so he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it would be best to let the Empress explain the situation now, otherwise this old minister will not be able to make a decision."

Seeing that her father was letting her speak first, the Empress knew that he was giving her a chance. Taking advantage of the Emperor's inability to refuse, she quickly opened her mouth and said, "What happened today really frightened me. Consort Yuechen was already a little late in coming to pay her respects. Consort De, being straightforward, said a few words to her, and Consort Yuechen angrily said, 'The Emperor has allowed me not to come to pay my respects, so what right do you have to interfere!' Consort De was so angry that she attacked her because of her arrogance. But Consort Yuechen was extremely skilled in martial arts and seemed to have gone mad. So Consort De, Consort Xian, and Consort Liang quickly subdued her."

There's a little bit of palace intrigue here~
