Chapter 57 - Confrontation

It seemed like the couple behind the fake mountain were going to meet privately and would not dare to show their faces. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to escape this calamity tonight.

Qin Luofei closed her eyes slightly, feeling anxious and restless.

When the imperial guards saw that there was no response from the fake mountain, they pulled out their treasured swords and parried it, shocking Qin Luofei to the point that she didn't dare to move an inch.

Shattered footsteps sounded from behind the fake mountain, and a man in silk clothes walked out. When the man walked out, not only were the imperial guards stunned, even Qin Luofei couldn't help but be stunned.

The man was as handsome as an immortal, causing others to be unable to shift their gazes away from him.

His long and narrow eyes were wriggling like the billowing waves of the sea.

Her nose was exquisite and straight, and the corners of her lips were the most beautiful. She had a distinct curve in the shape of a flower petal.

Under the moonlight, a silk robe as thin as a cicada's wing fluttered on his body.

However, his entire body was extremely cold. He didn't have any expression on his face. He didn't look at the guards but at the bright moon.

"Young Prince." When the imperial guards saw the man, they immediately greeted him.

Young Prince? Qin Luofei was secretly shocked, could it be the Prince Xi?

Although she had met the young prince the last two times, she hadn't taken him seriously.

This Prince Xi was truly beautiful and beautiful, no wonder the emperor and the empress dowager doted on his so much.

There were only a few men in this world who were so beautiful that they could drop dead bodies. When she saw this legendary young prince, she vaguely remembered that her older brother had once been able to topple cities and overthrow countries, shaking all life.

Qin Luofei couldn't help but secretly shed tears. She also didn't know whether her brother's corpse would be safe in the earth or not.

Prince Xi waved at the imperial guards, the leader of the imperial guards, Young Master Qin, saluted towards Prince Xi and led his men away.

After hearing the woman's voice, he did not dare pursue the matter. In any case, he still had the Prince Xi to carry the burden.

Prince Xi stood there for a moment, then said coldly: "Have you seen enough."

Qin Luofei thought that the person on the fake mountain was actually someone that Prince Xi was talking about. Unexpectedly, the Prince Xi sneered, "The person I'm talking about is you, you must be addicted to listening."

She had concealed it extremely well. Ordinary people would not be able to discover it unless … This Prince Xi was also a practitioner.

"Your Highness, look at my moonlight! I look at my moonlight! How can Your Highness be so sure that I'm looking at Your Highness? Don't tell me that pretty men are all so self-deprecating?" My elder brother is also a beauty capable of toppling empires, but he does not have such an illness like that of Prince. " Qin Luofei did not appear, but instead coldly laughed and said.

"Awesome, kill her." The corner of Prince Xi's mouth twitched, and a black figure walked out from the shadows.

Qin Luofei was greatly shocked, she did not expect that this Prince Xi would attack her in order to protect the person atop the fake mountain. She hurriedly said, "Don't act recklessly, I won't tell anyone else."

"Little uncle, what are you doing?" Just at this time, a child around the age of ten or so years old walked out from behind the fake mountain.

The child was carved from jade and had handsome features. One day, he would definitely be a enchanter like the Prince Xi, who could bewitch women.

Behind the child were two panting eunuchs.

When Prince Xi saw the child, a warm smile appeared on his face. "Ling'er, if you aren't sleeping, where are you going in the middle of the night?"

Ling'er? Qin Luofei was puzzled, who was this child? He seemed to be very familiar with the Prince Xi.

Although Ling Tai was still so young, he had already trained to the point where his eyebrows didn't twitch. "Ling'er won't be able to sleep, so I'll get up and take a look at the moon." As Ling Tai spoke, he quietly waved towards Qin Luofeng, indicating for her to go.

Prince Xi's personality was cold, and he restrained himself in front of his nephew. He clearly saw Ling Tai waving his hand towards Qin Luofei, but he did not do anything to stop him.

She quietly opened the door. Seeing that Du Qingcheng was still sleeping soundly, Qin Luofei gently lifted the blanket and laid on the bed.

Not only did Imperial Consort Leng show mercy to women, even the empress dowager suffered a loss.

Relying on the emperor's love, the Imperial Consort Leng forcefully postponed the talent show.

Longevity Hall.

The Li mama carried the golden dragon tray to the empress dowager's side. When he saw the empress dowager close his eyes and use the colored phoenix peony to carve sandalwood, who knew what he was thinking about?

Li mama shook his head slightly. Imperial Consort Leng was getting more and more arrogant, relying on the emperor's care and love, she gradually started to not put the empress dowager in her eyes.

The empress dowager was the emperor's own mother after all, so she could make things difficult for him.

"Empress Dowager, eat something!" Li mama put down the golden cloud dragon tray and waved his hand, instructing maid to place a few plates of fresh pastries beside the empress dowager on a short plate with green flowers wrapped around it.

A plate of silky white agate, lined with a multicolored pastry, makes one's appetite rise just by looking at it

The empress dowager opened her eyes. She placed her hand on her forehead and said tiredly, "Why haven't I seen Xi Er today?"

"The young prince has gone to the Seventh Prince's manor." Li mama quickly stewed some incense and brought it to the empress dowager's side.

The empress dowager nodded slightly, the tassels on her head quivering, shaking her eyelids. "That's good too, it saves him from being bored in the palace, so he has to shout about how to return to that temple again. This one doesn't understand, what's so good about that temple, other than a few old monks and a few young monks, I can't even see a shadow of them, and I wonder what Xi'er likes? "

Li mama smiled obsequiously, and said: "This servant has guessed that Prince Xi is such an exiled immortal. The empress dowager didn't know that those who have seen Prince Xi today all said that he was a deity that had descended from the heavens. "

The empress dowager had always doted on Prince Xi, and upon hearing his words, a rare smile appeared on her face. "This one has also never seen a child better looking. How rare. Even the emperor dotes especially on his younger brother."

Seeing that the empress dowager was in a good mood, the Li mama hurriedly ordered the palace maids to prepare a meal for her.

"Where is Old Empress Dowager's imperial chariot? Say, do you think that Imperial Consort Leng is delaying the selection waiting for Old Empress Dowager to come back to help her? "

Although the empress dowager was the emperor's own mother, she found it harder and harder to control this child. They had been estranged from her since they were young, and now they were not in the same league anymore.

It was not a good fortune for him to love that Imperial Consort Leng like that.

"I think it's because Imperial Consort Leng wants to be the Queen!" The Li mama said in a low voice.

The empress dowager's brows creased, but she quickly pursed her lips and snorted coldly. "She's dreaming too much. Don't even think about it." She won't be able to sit on this empress, and This Dowager would rather she had her way, than allow Imperial Consort Leng to become the empress. "

Li mama's heart did not move as he lowered his voice and said, "The Emperor dotes too much on your imperial concubine. If only there was someone who would share a bit."

The empress dowager remained expressionless as she nodded. "Then you can give This Dowager a person like her. This Dowager can't watch her ride one step at a time onto This Dowager's head."

The figure of a person appeared in Li mama's mind. It was just that, although his appearance was not as beautiful as Imperial Consort Leng's, his personality was very stable, and it would depend on whether the Emperor likes him or not.

Two days later, before daybreak, the women in the palace garden was awakened by the palace maids.

Both the empress dowager's and Imperial Consort Leng's palace sent their old mama over.

When the women tidied up properly and left the house, they gathered in the front courtyard.

Qin Luofei saw that women was not wearing the same clothes as before, and was dressed even more extravagantly than before.

"Little sister, you look so beautiful today that even big sister won't be able to recognize you." Du Qingcheng quietly pulled Qin Luofei's hand, and laughed in a low voice.

"Big sister loves to chat and laugh. No matter how beautiful she is, she's not as beautiful as big sister." Qin Luofei said in a low voice.

When Qin Luoyu saw Du Qingcheng and Qin Luofei mumbling to themselves, a trace of unhappiness flashed across his eyes.

Led by the consul eunuchs, they were divided into two groups.

"Sister Du, I'm a bit scared." Qin Luofei's eyes revealed a little fear, as she looked at Du Qingcheng.

Du Qingcheng snickered in his heart, he was only trying to kill someone, but he was already this scared, so he could rest assured in the future. He comforted Qin Luofei by patting his hand and said, "It's fine, don't be afraid."

The Imperial Consort Leng was so domineering that it made everyone's heart shadow. They never thought that Emperor Ming would be like the legends outside, doting on them so much. After entering the palace, under the pressure of the Imperial Consort Leng, how could they have any good intentions?

It was easier said than done, but luckily, her planning was good. With how highly Du Qingcheng thought of her, she should have been able to get close to him.

The girl standing in front of her was called Shangguan Die and her father, Shangguan Yunhe, was the current emperor's teacher. This year's women's family background and background were not something she, a great general's daughter, could compare to.

Now, she guessed that even if she were to enter the palace, she might not necessarily be able to get a favor. She could only slowly plan things out.

Their group was first brought to the inner side of the imperial garden where the Xuan Fang Pavilion was located. Four experienced mama were already waiting there; they had to pass the first trial to enter the palace.

Physical examination.

Check your body for odors, scars, and hidden ailments.

After that, they entered the pavilion and saw two mama waiting there, higher ranked, to check if the women was complete.

Qin Luo Fei was at the very back of the line. When he saw women standing in front of him with faces full of joy, eyes red and swollen, some of them were taken away by young eunuchs standing by his side.

Qin Luofei suppressed the unease in her heart.

"Qin Luofei." Hearing the mama's shouts, a lowly maid wearing blue brought Qin Luofei to the inner room.

This pavilion was where all the elites of the past lived. It was tidied up very elegantly, as if it was the embroidery of a lady from a noble family.

The desk, ink and paper, incense burner, curtains, beauty screens, everything.

"Take off your clothes."

Two maid s brought Qin Luofei to the back of the tent in the inner chamber.

Just as the two maid s wanted to strip Qin Luofei, they were stopped by her.

"I'll do it myself." Qin Luofei endured the discomfort in her heart and took off her clothes, allowing the two mama to look around.

The two mama nodded, and circled Qin Luofei's name. One of the maid s said loudly, "Pass."

When she came out, another maid came over and said, "Please enter the Warm Pavilion, women." He led Qin Luofei to the east side, to the warm pavilion.

There was a very serious old nanny standing in the pavilion.

"Please ask women to take off his clothes and lie on the bed."

Qin Luofei looked at maid, and the old granny waved at him, ordering the maid beside her to step down.

Qin Luofei took out a silver note from her bosom and stuffed it into the hands of the old nanny. With a smile, he said, "Grandma, this is a bit of my meaning. Please accept it."
