Chapter 60 - Pet Consort

"Is she the woman you like, your majesty? "Her appearance is not as beautiful as my concubine." Imperial Consort Leng charmingly said.

"Of course she's not good-looking. I just thought that her dancing style was pretty good. I thought you liked dancing and brought her into the palace to be your partner." Emperor Ming cuddled Imperial Consort Leng's waist, and used her other hand to intimately pinch her chin, making the empress dowager's heart burn.

A hint of coldness leaked out of the corner of Qin Luofei's lips, but it was quickly restrained.

"Keep it." The Empress Dowager said coldly. She didn't believe that if she were to choose a few more girls, they wouldn't be able to take away her pampered life.

A young eunuch gave a piece of jade to Qin Luofei, so she could keep it.

Luo Ziyan winked at Qin Luofei. She already had a partner in the palace.

The last person was the main attraction of this time's selection. The women s in front were only chess pieces.

"Prime Minister Du's daughter, Du Qingcheng." Du Qingcheng's body was slender and slender. The most important thing was that he had an indescribably graceful bearing and the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

The empress dowager was very satisfied with her niece, even the Emperor Ming had no choice but to straighten her back.

"Keep it." Before the empress dowager could speak, Emperor Ming had already spoken. In any case, they had to be kept, in order to avoid conflict with the Empress Dowager.

The empress dowager's phoenix eyes glanced at the Imperial Consort Leng beside Emperor Ming, then she nodded at the young eunuch beside her.

Luo Ziyan lazily stretched her lazy body and said: "It's finally over."

Qin Luofei shook her head slightly, saying, "I'm afraid the grand show is yet to come."

The eunuch at the empress dowager's side took out a golden colored imperial decree from his sleeve, unfurled it, and shouted loudly, "By the imperial law of the Empress Dowager, bestow the title of Prime Minister Du's daughter. Du Qingcheng is the Queen of the Yan State, and is here as a guide."

Everyone in the hall was dumbstruck. Not only the concubines, but the women and the elders below were all wide-eyed and tongue-tied. No one expected the empress dowager to wait here.

From the moment Du Qingcheng was arranged to be the last, Qin Luofei had already guessed that this would suit her well, and would be used to deal with her good sister.

She knew that with her own strength, it was impossible for her to fight against Imperial Consort Leng. It was also good if there was an Empress who could help her fight against Imperial Consort Leng.

The Consort Mo smiled as she pinched a piece of green bean cake and savored it. As expected, it was made in the royal kitchen. The taste was really good.

Imperial Consort Leng instantly forgot about the child in her womb and looked at Emperor Ming in disbelief.

Emperor Ming was also stunned as he looked at the empress dowager with a sharp gaze.

The empress dowager didn't even glance at him. She sat high up on her throne of phoenixes, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

The important officials below were also surprised. Empress Dowager and the empress dowager had stumbled for so many years, yet they had formed an alliance on this matter.

Prime Minister Du was quite dependable as he sipped his tea. It looked like he'd long known of the empress dowager's decision. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so calm.

Du Qingcheng became the focus of everyone's attention.

Luo Ziyan looked at Du Qingcheng with astonishment, while the other women began to discuss in private.

"Empress Dowager." Emperor Ming's eyes were brimming with anger. Everyone knew that Emperor Ming had always been loyal to the Imperial Consort Leng, but when the Leng Family met with the calamity of family extermination, he tried his best to establish the Imperial Consort Leng as the leader. All of the ministers opposed, so the Emperor Ming could only look for opportunities, knowing that the Old Empress Dowager would actually make this move.

Even if the Emperor Ming wanted to resist, he was still on his way back to the Yancheng.

"This is the order of the Old Empress Dowager, even This Dowager has to follow it. If Your Majesty is not satisfied, you can go and report it to the Old Empress Dowager, and This Dowager will not be able to control you, much less the Old Empress Dowager." The Empress Mother gave a cold snort, stood up, and took the car back to the palace.

Emperor Ming's eyes were dark and cold.

"Your majesty." Imperial Consort Leng usually pretended to be weak, but now she was truly aggrieved and caused others to feel pity for him.

Emperor Ming cuddled the beauty in his arms lovingly, not knowing how to comfort his.

"Your Majesty said that the position of Empress is mine, how can you give a slut like her?" Imperial Consort Leng became angry from embarrassment.

Emperor Ming revealed an awkward expression. Du Qingcheng was the eldest daughter of the Du Family, born from a princess. He was the niece of the Old Empress Dowager, a member of the empress dowager's family.

"Imperial Consort Leng, please behave yourself." Prime Minister Du suppressed his rage as he stood up.

"Love Consort, we will continue to cherish you." The Emperor Ming was kind words of consolation.

The Imperial Consort Leng, however, did not budge at all. She pointed to His Highness' Du Qingcheng and said, "I do not want her as empress, please retract your Majesty's fame."

Emperor Ming bit his lips, his eyes gloomy and sharp.

Although he was the ruler of the world, he still had to pay attention to filial piety. The empress dowager could say that, as the emperor, he could only obey the orders of the Old Empress Dowager.

The other concubine were all dumbfounded. They didn't know how to end this mess, but the empress dowager left with a wave of her hand.

Consort Mo went over to the leisurely tasting of the tea, she just wanted to watch the fun.

"Your majesty, your majesty." The Imperial Consort Leng continued to act rashly.

Emperor Ming's eyes swept across the crowd and stopped at where Consort Mo was. After a moment, he said angrily: "Love Consort, we have truly loved you for nothing. You acting like a shrew and making us lose all face."

Emperor Ming's face was filled with anger as he walked down the stairs. Xiao Linzi followed the Emperor Ming out of the hall.

"Your majesty." Ever since Imperial Consort Leng entered the palace, she had never received such treatment from the Emperor Ming before. She could not help but become even more furious, and she swept all the pastries and fruits on the table in front of him onto the ground, shocking the surrounding palace maids to the point of kneeling.

Imperial Consort Leng never thought that this would be the end. She had once dreamed that she would be able to reach the throne, but now, all of her dreams came to naught.

She closed her eyes and did not move for a long time.

The other concubine had different expressions. In any case, even if Du Qingcheng wasn't the Queen, it was not their turn. concubine, who was usually bullied by Imperial Consort Leng, secretly rejoiced when they saw that she was angered by Imperial Consort Leng.

It was really a matter of joy and sorrow.

Seeing that the emperor had left, there was no point in staying any longer. They all left the palace, leaving behind a pile of concubines and women s.

An elderly aunt by the empress dowager's side came forward to pay her respects to Du Qingcheng.

"Empress, please follow this servant to Cool Hall."

Cool Hall was the residence of all the empresses. Ever since the death of the previous Empress Leng, she had been free, and could be considered to have a new master.

The concubines s who were chosen were originally going to be conferred the title in the Great Hall, but now, they had flipped over and were afraid that they would have to be summoned alone.

The sorrowful looking Imperial Consort Leng was supported out by a few palace maids, with the Consort Mo and the Xiao Fei following closely behind.

Only the women remained at the entrance of the hall.

Huan Beauty held her furnace and followed behind the group. Her expression was indifferent, as if nothing in the hall could affect her.

"What a twist." Xiao Fei sighed slightly.

Consort Mo smiled slightly: "I think it's a good show, maybe big sister's good days will come."

Xiao Fei was slightly startled, as she did not understand the meaning behind Consort Mo's words.

Consort Mo had already left with her personal palace maid.

The women s who had been bestowed with jade pendants were brought to their respective palaces by the young eunuchs.

The order to bestow the title of concubine came out right after.

Du Qingcheng: Empress, grant this to Cool Hall. This palace was where the empress dowager lived. The emperor's royal study was the main line of the imperial palace, representing the empress's position in the world. It was where all the women dreamed of arriving to.

Qin Luoyu — Fourth rank: Wan Yi, bestowed Zhaoyang Hall to her. Zhaoyang Hall is the place where all the concubines of the past generations live. It is the place where all the concubines s must fight. Beautiful surroundings, west to the royal garden, east to the emperor's sleeping quarters.

Luo Ziyan: It's a special honor for a fifth-ranked noble like you to be able to wear the Hall of Enchantment and the Thorny Hall to be near the Queen's chambers.

Shangguan Die: The fifth grade Ming Hua is bestowed upon the Lovers Hall. The scenery of this hall is the place with the most spiritual energy in the entire harem, because there is a crescent-like lake water in front of the hall. Only such an elegant and graceful woman could be worthy of living in such a beautiful and delicate residence.

Lin Huijiao: From a Fifth Rank Beauty. Giving it to the Huihuang.com.com.com.com.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p. It was said that it used to be the residence of a peerless beauty, and was filled with bamboo, giving it a name.

The other selected women were arranged according to the fourteen halls of the harem (Zhaoyang, Soaring, Augmentation, Hedie, Orchid Forest, Fragrant Fragrance, Phoenix, Luan Luan, Peace, Chang Ning, Pepper Wind, Foshan, Huai Cao, Ruo).

These palaces were the main residence for the concubines s in the harem.

Qin Luoyu was conferred the title of fourth stage: Wanyi. To Qin Luofei's surprise, she had already become the most famous concubine in the palace, excluding the Imperial Consort Leng and the Consort Mo.

Only Qin Luofei had the lowest position and was allocated to Chang Ning Hall. A concubine Ning already resided in the hall, so Qin Luofei could only stay in the side hall.

A young eunuch led Qin Luofei to the entrance of a palace. The palace was a little desolate, and as they got closer to the cold palace, they were always in a palace that was not favoured by the Love Consort s.

The Emperor obviously didn't like her, so he treated her coldly just to curry the favor of the Imperial Consort Leng.

Qin Luofei saw an old wet nurse standing at the entrance of the palace. It looked extremely familiar, it was actually the Fan mama, and there were also two maid dressed in brand-new palace attire. It was unexpectedly Chrysanthemum and Zi Yuan.

The Fan mama had already come forward to greet his. "Fourth Miss, the empress dowager told me to wait here for Fourth Miss. He was afraid that Fourth Miss would be lonely when she entered the palace, so he asked me to bring the two maids that were with you when you were at home."

"Thank you, Fan mama." Qin Luofei bowed slightly. Seeing the Fan mama's serious face, her head held high, she did not even look at Qin Luofei.

Sunflower was already dissatisfied with Fan mama by the side, but when she saw that Yue Bing was also treating Miss like this, she couldn't help but frown, thinking to herself, "What a strange dog, she ate so much of Miss, how dare he treat Miss like this?"

However, Qin Luofei didn't give any indication of her intentions as she faintly nodded her head.

Fan mama's eyes revealed a look of approval. The Fourth Miss was able to stay in the palace because of her safety.

If it was an ordinary person, she would have already revealed her dissatisfaction after taking so much of her money and treating her with such an attitude.

But she didn't, and as usual. The people in the palace naturally understood her, but the Fourth Miss was someone who had just entered the palace. There were eyes everywhere in the palace. If people knew that he took extra care of this Fourth Miss, they would be in trouble.
