Empress Xuan? The Emperor's favorite concubine wanted to see her?
"Momo, our Young Miss has just returned. Please allow me to change my clothes first, so I won't run into the Empress." "Thank you," she said, bowing.
She was becoming smarter and smarter as she followed by Lian Xiyue's side. This esteemed wangfei Xuan's origins weren't small. For her to suddenly summon her and give Eldest Young Miss time to prepare was better.
Lian Ru Yue's eyes showed approval.
The two mama looked at each other, then said, "Then this servant will wait here for Eldest Miss."
Lian Ruyue came out after she went in and changed her clothes. She followed behind the two mama and walked all the way to the outside of the emperor's tent.
"Eldest Miss, please wait for a moment." Two of the nuns let her stand outside, and one of them pushed back the curtain and went in to announce her.
Lian Xiyue glanced at him. If the leader of the guards she knew, Jiang Keji, wasn't here, then the emperor himself would also be absent at this moment. Consort Xuan took advantage of this opportunity to call her over.
"Eldest Miss, please …" Not long later, the curtain to the tent opened, and the nanny from inside walked out and said.
"Thank you, mama." Lian Ruyue nodded and walked in.
Inside the tent, there was a Hetian carpet and a short bed made out of yellow pear wood, giving off the majesty and dignity of an emperor. Even the empress and Xu Xianfei didn't live in the same tent as the emperor.
She slightly raised her eyes and looked towards the person seated on the imperial chair. She saw a graceful, enchanting, and beautiful woman lying down and sizing her up, she was wearing a crane made of white silk with new mulberry silk, and wore a pearl jade crown on her head. This was the emperor's spoiled concubine, Xuan Fei.
The sixteen year old You Xuan.
Consort Xuan lightly blew her fingers full of aloofness. Her young age was favored, making her look down on everyone else. If she dared to offend the empress, how could she possibly respect the daughter of a prime minister?
Her lazy and haughty gaze looked towards Lian Rue, who was standing in front of her, and said, "Raise your head and let me take a look." Although he was sixteen, he had already spent two years in the palace, and had thoroughly learned how to be above others when he was in the palace.
No wonder the Emperor liked it. No matter how domineering and young he was, he always exuded a rare sense of romantic innocence.
Lian Ruyue listened to him and slowly raised her head to look at Xuan Fei.
When her face appeared before Xuan Fei's eyes, she was not surprised to feel her heart tighten for a moment. This Prime Minister's daughter had a plain face and was covered in a thin layer of makeup.
Looking at the person in front of her, Lian Ruyue recalled the scene of her meeting with the Prince of Yue's mansion after marrying Feng Qianyue — —
She already knew that, but after marrying her, there were only two concubines in the mansion, not even a secondary concubine. Compared to her father, who had dozens of concubines, he had quite a lot of respect for her. Moreover, he didn't allow these two concubines to bear children, and the two concubines were extremely respectful towards her.
In the past, she was very grateful to him for taking her feelings into account, but later on she realized that he was actually doing this for Lian Shiya!
One morning, she was having a meal with him. At this time, their daughter, Le Yan, was just three months old and was being coaxed by her wet nurse to the side. Because she had lost a lot of blood while giving birth, her body was still very weak, but she insisted on not letting the kitchen send her food to the room.
Just as he was eating, the butler, an uncle, rushed in. Behind him was a woman in red, but her head was covered with a black veil. It was hard to see her face, but from her figure, it was obvious that she was a beautiful woman.
Feng Qianyue looked at this person and suddenly stood up. A rare fluster flashed across his face, and without saying a single word to her, he got up and hurriedly pulled this woman away. She heard him say to her: Come to my study!
She was in a daze, and an uncomfortable feeling surged from the bottom of her heart. She never cared about matters like Feng Qianyue, but this time, an intense curiosity spurred her to follow —
She saw Feng Qianyue pull her into the study. Before the door had even closed, the girl impatiently threw herself at him, but he did not push her away.
She tiptoed to the window and used her fingers to prick the window paper. Then, she moved her eyes closer to the window — —
When she saw what was going on inside, she abruptly turned around and covered her mouth!
The two of them kissed as if they were lovers who had not seen each other in a long time. Afterwards, they seemed to have gotten into an argument, but their voices were very soft, and she could vaguely hear the girl saying that she couldn't stand that old man, so she didn't hear anything else. Then, very quickly, the seductive moans of the woman and the man's heavy breathing came from inside.
Her heart was tightly clenched. Feng Qianyue had never once caused her to be this embarrassed before! Although the mansion had a concubine, it was only a matter of etiquette. As for the woman in red …
In the end, Lian Ruyue silently walked back to the table and sat down to finish the meal.
However, she was always uneasy and kept an eye on the situation in the study. Because even though it was just a glance just now, she was able to sense with a woman's intuition that this woman in red was deeply hostile towards her.
Who was she?
After about two hours, the woman in red came out of Feng Qianyue's study, but she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she walked past Lian Ruyue and stood in front of her.
"Shua!" She took off the veil on her face. Sure enough, her face was extremely beautiful, causing one to be slightly entranced by her beauty. However, when the pair of eyes looked at her happy face, Lian Ruyue felt a cold chill, and she couldn't help but hold her face tighter.
"Princess Consort Yue, humph." She coldly snorted, her eyes filled with contempt. "You're not worthy!"
Lian Ruyue heard this and was startled. A chill went down her spine. She asked, "Who are you?"
He pulled over the red-clothed female, covered her head with a black veil, and pulled her hand as he impatiently sent her out of the manor. Just like when he came, he also went through the back door.
Later on, she asked Feng Qianyue who he was, but he refused to tell her from start to finish. He only told her that he guaranteed that she would never see this person ever again, so that she could peacefully become the princess of Yueyu.
Roughly a few months after this event, she vaguely heard that the person that the emperor doted on, Consort Xuan, had accidentally fallen into a well and died. The emperor was even grieving for quite a while.
At that time, how could she have known that the red-clothed girl who appeared in the Moon Prince's manor was the same person?!
