Chapter 61 - Weakening

When Fan mama approached Qin Luofei, he felt that there was something extra in his hands, and hurriedly hid it inside his sleeves.

Qin Luofei knew that since she was able to enter the palace so smoothly, this Fan mama and her must have put in a lot of effort.

Qin Luofei also secretly stuffed the silver taels of the young eunuchs who had guided Qin Luofei into the palace. The silver taels were neither too big nor too small, they would not attract the attention of others, and they would not be discouraged.

Fan mama secretly pinched his sleeves. Seeing that it was silver, he knew that the Fourth Miss was generous.

"Show weakness." Fan mama whispered into Qin Luofei's ears.

Even the most noble of young mistresses would be humbled once she entered the palace.

That's right.

In the future, he would no longer have to worry about his own life and death.

Along the way, Xi Hua and Zi Yuan had also been extra careful and cautious.

From time to time, the palace maids and eunuchs would walk past them. Seeing that they still had their eyebrows raised and their bodies unmoving, it was obvious that the rules of the palace were quite strict.

A young eunuch pushed open the door, and a few people walked into the courtyard.

The courtyard was neat and clean, as if it was cleaned frequently.

"Fourth Miss Qin, this is Chang Ning Hall. You can rest here and make other arrangements when you see His Majesty and the empress dowager in the future." Fan mama led Qin Luofei into the courtyard.

Qin Luofei nodded slightly.

The palace was divided into the main hall and the east and west side halls.

Qin Luofei naturally knew that with her status, it was impossible for her to stay in the main hall.

The Fan mama led Qin Luofei to the western palace hall and said: "Honored guest, you can settle down and pay your respects to the here."

Qin Luofei nodded and said, "Thank you, mama."

"Then the old servant will take his leave." Fan mama led the people and left, leaving behind Dazzling Spring and Zi Yuan, as well as the two palace maids who were originally in the palace.

The decorations of the palace maids were of the lowest quality.

Back then, the grade of the palace maid's clothing was determined by her. Unexpectedly, three years after she died, this palace maid's clothes were still the same as before.

Sunflower and Zi Yuan followed her into the palace. Normally, they would be listed, but since they were brought into the palace by the empress dowager, they could naturally discuss about it later.

Logically speaking, a person like her, who had been granted permission to enter the palace by the Emperor, should have been given a title before entering the palace. Unexpectedly, only one imperial daughter was conferred the title.

After tidying up the room and tidying it up, Qin Luofei hastily got dressed up to pay her respects to the concubine Ning in the main seat.

The light chrysanthemum color double ban brocade robe was woven densely, the shallow deep lines were even more exquisite, and on the outside it was tied a cicada's wings of cicada's cicada's crescent brocade robe.

Her hair was combed into a bun, thin as a cicada's wing, and there was a tasseled cicada hairpin embedded with an agate gold stone at the temples.

It was neither vulgar nor picky.

Before Qin Luofei even left the room, there was already a maid waiting outside. Seeing that Qin Luofei had first greeted him, he smiled and said, "concubine Ning, please allow me to invite someone over for some snacks."

This concubine Ning was someone who was easy to get along with.

"Little Ancestor, don't run, don't run." Just as Qin Luofei walked into the courtyard, she saw a little boy around ten years old running out from concubine Ning's room, jumping into her arms.

When Qin Luofei saw the little boy's face, it was as if cold water had poured over her from head to toe.

"Queen, please, please, don't take Tan-er away." A woman with messy clothes knelt on the ground and begged the other woman.

"Drag her away." She was a lofty, exalted woman. She wore a golden phoenix robe, and was as beautiful as a fairy.

"Queen, please, Tan-er." The woman struggled as she begged.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Hibiscus supported Qin Luofei at the side, seeing that her face was as pale as jade.

The boy in front of her was the only son of the Emperor Ming, Tan Yue, the son of a concubine she had once taken away. She had raised him until he was three years old, until she had met with such a disaster.

After the Emperor ascended the throne, he killed his wife's mother. His concubine was also imprisoned in the palace by the Emperor, and in order to curry favor with that person, she forced his wife to her death.

Qin Luofei's fingers trembled slightly. Her hands had once been covered in the blood of others.

"Ling Tai, you disobeyed again." The door of the main hall was pushed open, and a gentle voice rang out.

"Ling Tai?" He was the child that had saved him that night. That day when the sky was dark, she did not see it clearly. It was mainly because the Prince Xi was also called Ling Tai that day, so she did not think about it.

Thinking about it, after he died, Tan Yue changed her name to Ling Tai, no wonder I never heard anything about him.

A dignified and elegant woman dressed in a palace robe walked out from the house.

The butterfly dress was wrapped with a soft ribbon, revealing her slender waist. On her head was a simple, sparkling, translucent, and perfect hairpin.

Her eyebrows were like a painting, and her figure was gorgeous. It was impossible to tell how old she was.

She had seen the concubine Ning in her previous life, but because she had never been able to obtain the emperor's favor, she hated him in her heart. She felt jealous and specifically forgave her for having such a person in the palace, even if she didn't fight for him.

A few years had passed, yet her appearance still remained the same. She was still as charming as a painting.

She cuddled Tan Yue in his embrace, carefully taking care of him, her brows filled with love. It seemed that she had raised Tan Yue very well.

After she had reincarnated, she had also thought of Tan Yue, but now that she knew that the death of the matriarch was related to her, she felt a little guilty and didn't want to think about the past anymore.

"concubine Ning." Qin Luofei bowed slightly.

concubine Ning was only concerned with Tan Yue, and only now did he see Qin Luofei. He immediately said with a smile: "You are the Fourth Miss who had just entered the palace. Come in quickly."

The warm smile on the concubine Ning's face was not at all disregarded by Qin Luofei when she first entered the palace.

Qin Luofei followed the concubine Ning into the palace, only to realize that there was no difference between the layout of the palace and her own. It was extremely simple, only that there was an empty incense burner, which meant that concubine Ning's days in the palace were not particularly good.

The two of them sat on the beautiful bed s and had a palace maid serve them tea.

Tan Yue sat beside the concubine Ning and looked at Qin Luofei with a mischievous smile.

Qin Luofei's heart felt a hint of softness. She hoped that she would have the chance to make up for it in the future.

"This dessert is pretty good, sister." concubine Ning picked up the embroidery beside his hand, and started to embroider while chatting with Qin Luofei.

Qin Luofei knew that the palace wasn't like how it was outside. Normally, concubine would have to live a difficult life, and they would have to make some living out of it.

This concubine Ning was born a palace maid, so he couldn't compare to the ladies in the palace. Behind them, there was the support of the royal family, so the eunuchs and palace maids had to take advantage of this opportunity to bully them.

The Emperor had given his only son to a concubine Ning without any background. He couldn't say that he was resentful towards the Emperor, but he also disliked this child.

"My lord, your handiwork is quite good." Qin Luofei took a sip of tea and praised.

concubine Ning raised his head and laughed: "I have nothing to do, just pass the time."

Qin Luofei smiled, but didn't say anything. After doing a little bit more, he bade farewell and left.

The next day, Qin Luofei was in the middle of dressing up, waiting for the empress to summon her. However, a young eunuch came to pass down a decree: The empress's body is not feeling well, and concubine will not be seen for the time being.

This new empress had just moved into the imperial harem, so the concubines wanted to pay her respects. Perhaps it was because of the Imperial Consort Leng's ruckus during the selection and she purposely cancelled it, making it difficult for the new empress to even have the chance to eat a concubine. It was just that he didn't know if this Du Qingcheng could endure it.

After lunch, the concubine Ning came to visit Qin Luofei. Seeing that she wasn't in good spirits, it must have been because she couldn't see His Majesty for a while that he became like this.

"Sister, what are you thinking about? So lost in thought. " The concubine Ning laughed.

Qin Luofei had always been thinking about who the date with Prince Xi behind the fake mountain was, but she couldn't say such words to the concubine Ning.

Qin Luofei stood up and said with a smile, "Little sister, what are you thinking about today?"

"How about I accompany my sister for a walk in the imperial garden?" concubine Ning affectionately pulled Qin Luofei's hand.

Qin Luofei looked at herself in the mirror. The dress train s with the green stripes dragged along the ground, wearing soft robes with the color of green silk, neither picky nor petty. A warm smile leaked out of his lips as he said, "Then, just accompany me for a walk. It would be better to stay in the room."

In her previous life, she did not know how much fun she would have with that person, but seeing that concubine Ning was in high spirits, it was not good to refuse her respect, so she nodded.

The two of them brought only the palace maids with them as they walked out of the courtyard. After turning a few corners, they could smell the fragrant scent of flowers.

Within the imperial garden, the roses were blooming like the sea. They were all extremely expensive breeds, and were as big as bowls. They were beautiful beyond compare.

Qin Luofei stared blankly at him, and after a long while, she finally laughed, "Why isn't it Peony?"

The concubine Ning held the pink rose by his side and laughed, "Isn't it so? Our Queen's favorite rose is to use these roses as rouge and quintessence? I heard that the roses boil water to nourish the skin. "

Qin Luofei looked at the rose filled eyes, not knowing what to feel in her heart.

She had never thought that after entering the palace, the scenery of the palace would be the same as before. Even the rose in the imperial garden had been planted with that person that day.

concubine Ning instructed the maid beside him to pluck a lot of fresh rose petals and make them into rouge pills.

When the two of them reached a fake mountain and heard the beautiful sound of music coming from the fake mountain, concubine Ning wanted to pull Qin Luofei away, but then he saw a beautiful palace maid coming down from the fake mountain. He smiled and said, "Greetings to your highness."

concubine Ning awkwardly stood there and said: "Aunt Die, there is no need to be so courteous."

The palace maids were of different grades as well. To be able to be addressed as' aunt ', they were of the highest grade. As expected, the ribbon tied around the palace maid's waist was a purple brocade.

He Die's eyes sized up Qin Luofei who was beside concubine Ning. He then shifted his gaze to concubine Ning and smiled, "Yesterday, Empress Mo said that she hadn't seen concubine Ning for a long time. Meeting him today, it really is fated."

"Thank you for your concern, Empress." concubine Ning looked at Qin Luofei with his eyes, but didn't see any expression on her face.

Although she didn't want to fight in the harem, it was not a good time to get out, so she had no choice but to follow Qin Luofei up the fake mountain.

Last time, Qin Luofei had been on a fake mountain, and it was the time she had met the empress dowager. The decorations on the fake mountain were the same as before.
