Chapter 382 The buried concubine VS the ruthless and romantic emperor 30
What happened in Fengyi Palace was quickly spread to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
After Emperor Jing heard about it, he slammed the memorial in his hand on the imperial case with a gloomy expression.
He never thought that his whim would make her suffer criticism and grievance.
Yao'er is pregnant. It's hard to go to greet her in the morning, but she also has to listen to the ridicule and sarcasm of those women. She may feel uncomfortable.
If it affects the emperor's son in her belly, even Concubine Li's ten heads won't be enough to cut off.
This is really unreasonable.
"Here comes."
He called in a deep voice, his voice carrying unquestionable majesty.
Lu Xi hurriedly walked in and bowed, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Concubine Li's words and deeds are shameless. As a concubine, she should be dignified and prudent and set an example for everyone in the harem. However, she took the lead in causing trouble in Fengyi Palace and wantonly ran against the concubines, causing restlessness and unhealthy atmosphere in the harem. Concubine Li's actions , It goes against my expectations. It is my will to seize the title of Concubine Li to rectify the style of the harem."
Emperor Jing's tone was majestic and left no room for doubt.
Lu Xi was slightly startled. Although he was a little surprised, he still hurriedly responded: "I obey the order."
Emperor Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, with a stern expression, and said again: "I am looking at the harem. Everyone takes this as a warning. If anyone again ignores the harmony of the harem and stirs up disputes, I will severely punish him."
Afterwards, he thought about Qin Jieyu and felt a little guilty.
She wanted to be granted a title to compensate, but thinking that she had just been promoted to the title of Jieyu, it would inevitably be inappropriate to be promoted to the title of Jieyu, so she gave up the idea and asked Lu Xi to pick out some good things to send to the east side hall.
Lu Xi took the order and left.
When everyone in the harem learned that Concubine Li was deprived of her title by the emperor just for saying a few words to Qin Jieyu in Fengyi Palace in the morning, they were all shocked and fearful, and did not dare to cause trouble again.
Those who originally wanted to cause trouble for Qin Jieyu also gave up their thoughts, fearing that they would get burned.
For a time, the atmosphere in the harem was tense. Everyone was cautious in their words and deeds, trying to maintain the stability of the harem.
Of course, the Queen and Concubine Yu were also wary of Yu Yao and no longer looked down upon her.
Concubine Li, the atmosphere in Yingyue Palace was extremely depressing.
After Concubine Li learned that she had been deprived of her title, she was so angry that she became very angry in the palace.
"I am a noble concubine, and that cheap maid is just a little Jieyu. How can the emperor be so partial to her? Just because of a few words in Fengyi Palace, punish me so heavily?"
Concubine Li paced back and forth in the hall, her face gloomy, and she gritted her teeth and cursed.
She really couldn't understand. It hadn't been a day or two since she had been running around with that bitch in Fengyi Palace. Why did the emperor suddenly get so angry today and take away her title?
The maids in the palace were so frightened that they did not dare to speak out.
"How can I swallow this tone? The emperor is so unfair, it must be some kind of flattery trick used by that cheap maid."
Li Fei gritted her teeth and said.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She waved her hand violently and swept the tea set on the table to the ground.
"Crash"
The sound of broken porcelain sounded in the hall, adding a bit of tension to the atmosphere.
"I will never give up. I will make that cheap servant pay the price."
Li Fei's eyes were full of resentment, and she was secretly thinking about how to take revenge.
Yu Yao didn’t know how angry Concubine Li was and how she was plotting revenge. When she received the reward from the Dog Emperor, she was not particularly happy and only asked Liuli to be stored in the warehouse.
West side hall.
Shu Meiren was frightened on the spot when she heard that Concubine Li was deprived of her title by the emperor just for saying a few words to Qin Jieyu in Fengyi Palace.
She knew very well how much she had gone too far during this period, and she was ready to break up with Qin Jieyu.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jieyu didn’t do or say anything, let alone let anyone stop her from going to the east hall. This approach made Shu Meiren feel guilty.
When the emperor left last night, the ugly look on his face was still lingering in her mind.
Generally, after the concubine goes to bed, there will be a routine reward the next day.
But she didn't get any reward, which shows that the emperor is really dissatisfied with her.
"Your Majesty, he will probably never play my brand again, right?"
Thinking of this, Shu Meiren felt extremely desperate, and she felt that she had no hope for her future days in the palace. .
But life must go on.
In order to make her stay in the palace easier in the future, she thought about it, gritted her teeth, and decided to go to the east hall to find Qin Jieyu.
The east side hall.
Yu Yao was half-leaning on the soft couch, reading a storybook, when she saw Hu Hui come in to report that Shu Meiren was here.
She frowned slightly, thinking that Shu Meiren came over again for an excuse to meet the Dog Emperor, so she didn't want to pay attention to it. She originally wanted Amber to send Shu Meiren away.
Unexpectedly, Shu Meiren came in alone, and without saying a word, he knelt down in front of her with a plop.
"Sister Qin, during this time, I know that I have gone too far and made my sister unhappy. But I really have no choice. I never ask for the emperor's favor. All I ask for is to have a son and a half. I have someone to rely on for the rest of my life, please forgive me, sister."
Shu Meiren knelt on the ground, her eyes red and her voice trembling.
Yu Yao looked at Shu Meiren kneeling in front of her with extremely complicated emotions.
She can understand Shu Meiren's helplessness and struggle. In this harem, without grace, life may be just a little harder, but without children, you will really die.
No one wants to die.
It was just like when she had just entered this world and was facing burial, she desperately escaped just to survive.
Ke Shumeiren’s approach really annoyed her.
A moment of silence.
Yu Yao sighed slightly and said: "Get up. I can understand your mood, but what you did is really inappropriate. Don't do it again in the future."
With her Knowing the Dog Emperor, there is a high probability that I will not buy Shumeiren’s brand again in the future.
It would be fine if Shu Meiren could get pregnant last night, but if not. In this life, I really have to wait for the Dog Emperor to be buried with him in a hundred years.
Of course, it is also possible that Shu Mei died earlier than the Dog Emperor.
But no matter which ending, it is very tragic.
I don’t know which immoral thing broke the rules. It was more ruthless than the historical Tang Dynasty emperor who asked the harem concubines to become nuns in Ganye Temple after his death.
I am still alive as a nun and my life is still there.
But this kind of burial is really life-threatening and very cruel. Yu Yao looked at Shu Meiren in front of her, feeling a little unbearable in her heart, so she asked the system to drop a female birth pill on Shu Meiren.
Give her a daughter.
Anyway, there are a lot of these elixirs, and the system mall will discount them from time to time, making them very cheap.
Besides, Shu Meiren is pregnant. When the news of her pregnancy breaks out, she can also share some of the firepower of the concubines in the harem for herself.
Not all staring at her.
Shu Meiren didn't know this. After listening to her words, gratitude flashed in her eyes and she quickly stood up, "Thank you sister Qin. I will be careful in my words and deeds in the future and never make my sister angry again."
< br>The emperor will probably never ask her to sleep with her again, and there is no point in trying to seduce her.
Now she just wants to rely on Qin Jieyu to make her life in the palace easier in the future.
Time passed day by day, and the draft finally kicked off.
In the imperial garden, hundreds of flowers bloomed, as if even nature was adding a touch of spring beauty to this grand event in the palace.
In the distance, among the red walls and yellow tiles, the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard faintly, adding a bit of excitement and expectation to the quiet palace.
The audition is held in the "Fanghua Hall" on the east side of the Imperial Garden. This place has been carefully decorated to make it even more elegant and extraordinary.
In the hall, rows of beautiful women dressed in various colorful costumes, standing or sitting, all looked dignified and beautiful.
Their faces may be filled with nervousness, or may hide expectations, or even worse, their eyes may be filled with desire and uneasiness for an unknown fate.
"Have you heard? Among this year's show girls, there is a talented girl from the south of the Yangtze River. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Even the Queen Mother is full of praise for her."
A palace maid lowered her voice and spoke to her side. companions whispered.
"Really? That's really a strong enemy. I heard that the Queen is worried that there is no suitable candidate to balance the power of the harem."
"What is this? I heard that there is a Yangzhou The daughter of the prefect has an extraordinary appearance, as if she were a fairy descended from heaven. "Real or fake, how does it compare to Qin Jieyu's beauty?"
"It's about the same. I heard that the Empress and Concubine Jade wanted to seduce people, but unfortunately they were smart and met the emperor in the imperial garden in advance."
"The harem is really getting more and more lively. ”
In the Fanghua Palace, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.
Emperor Jing sat high on the dragon chair, his eyes as bright as a torch, examining the rows of beautiful ladies below.
They are either as gentle as water, or as bright as spring, each showing a different style.
The Queen and Concubine Jade sat on opposite sides, with different expressions.
The queen is dignified and elegant, with scrutiny and consideration in her eyes. She needs to choose the right woman for the harem to maintain the balance of the harem.
Concubine Jade's eyes were wary and disdainful. She was a group of vixens who came to seduce her cousin. Although she was dissatisfied, she did not show it.
The show girls stepped forward one after another to show off their talents, some dancing gracefully and as light as a swallow.
Some played musical instruments with melodious tunes.
Some recited poems and painted paintings, showing off their talents. Every show girl strives to show her best side, hoping to win the favor of the emperor.
Soon it was the turn of the talented girl from Jiangnan, Su Waner.
Wearing an elegant green shirt with only a white jade hairpin in her hair, she is as elegant and refined as a woman walking out of an ink painting.
Faced with the emperor's scrutiny, she calmly stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty Su Waner, please see the emperor, the queen, and the noble concubine."
"Raise your head. ”
The emperor's voice was low and magnetic, carrying irresistible majesty.
Su Wan'er raised her head as she was told, and her clear eyes met Emperor Jing's. At that moment, it seemed as if time had stood still.
There is no fear in her eyes, only calmness and purity.
Emperor Jing looked slightly raised, raised his lips and asked, "I heard that you are proficient in poetry, lyrics, and poetry. You might as well compose a poem on the spot to suit the occasion."
Su Waner smiled slightly and said, After thinking about it, he immediately chanted: "The spring atmosphere is strong in the Forbidden City, and the flowers are blooming and reflecting the red sun. I hope that when the king looks back, he will live up to his youth and your glory."
The poems are fresh and refined, and the emotions are sincere, attracting the attention of people around them.
Emperor Jing nodded slightly, obviously very satisfied with this talented woman, "It is indeed well-deserved, I will give you flowers and keep your cards."
A few more rounds passed, during which some were unsuccessful, and some were given flowers and kept their cards. brand.
Soon it was the turn of Liu Mengyan, the daughter of the Yangzhou magistrate, that beauty with outstanding appearance.
She walked into the arena, wearing a moon-white dress, dancing with light gauze, and walking lightly, like a fairy descending to earth, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Facing the emperor's gaze, she did not show any cowardice. Instead, she stepped forward generously and performed a standard palace ceremony: "My maid Liu Mengyan, I have met the emperor, the queen, and the noble concubine. May the emperor, the queen, and the noble concubine May your Majesty be blessed. "
Emperor Jing looked at the beauty in front of him carefully and saw that her skin was like cream, her eyes were like autumn water, and there was an indescribable charm between her brows.
He opened his thin lips lightly, with a hint of playfulness in his tone: "Liu Mengyan, your beauty is indeed as beautiful as the world. But I want to know more, besides your beauty, what else can you do to me? Eyes?"
When Liu Mengyan heard this, his expression did not change, and he still maintained his calmness and confidence: "Your Majesty is the lord of all peoples, Mengyan dare not speak in the eyes of the emperor, but Mengyan is willing to speak with sincerity. Treat each other, no matter when your Majesty returns, there will always be a light on here for you, and a love for you."
These words, simple but affectionate, moved Emperor Jing's heart.
She couldn't help but remind him of Qin Jieyu.
The same unparalleled appearance, the same tenderness and endless affection.
He nodded slightly, feeling a little more favorable towards this beauty, "Give me the flowers and leave the card."
Obviously, she was selected.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
Liu Mengyan smiled slightly, bowed respectfully, and retreated gracefully.
As the draft progressed, some were selected and others left sadly. The power map of the harem also quietly changed in these silent contests.
Yihe Hall, the east side hall.
Yu Yao is sitting in front of the window. Her belly is more than two months old, and some early pregnancy reactions have begun to appear.
Fortunately, she took the pregnancy pill and it was not serious, but she was prone to drowsiness.
Although her belly has not yet swelled, she tries to wear loose-fitting clothes in order to avoid others noticing.
"My lord, I heard that in this year's draft, there is a person named Liu Mengyan. He has an extremely good appearance and looks a bit like my lord. The emperor seems to like him very much?"
Liuli said worriedly while arranging the tea sets on the table.
Yu Yao smiled slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The fragrance of tea lingered, and she said lightly: "Liu Li, she is just a new woman entering the palace. The emperor's favor has always been a cloud, so don't worry. Now, I just want to give birth to the child in my belly safely. As for the rest, let it go.”
