Chapter 136 - Mysterious State Advisor
Qin Luofei faintly felt as if someone was whispering in her ear, but when she woke up, all she saw was Daihua pull up the bed curtain.
Miss Duskgold woke up and quickly called for the maidservants to bring the toiletries over. She anxiously helped Qin Luofei up from the bed.
"Miss, I heard that there will be a banquet tonight at the palace."
Qin Luofei was stunned, and asked puzzledly: "Why would the palace hold a banquet all of a sudden? It's not a holiday and it's not the Empress Dowager's birthday. "
"I heard that the Imperial Advisor won a battle in the west and has returned."
Qin Luofei was stunned for a moment before she blurted out, "State Grandmaster?"
She had naturally heard of the State Grandmaster before. The State Grandmaster was a god-like figure in the entire Yan State.
The family of the State Grandmaster was the most mysterious family in the Yan State. It was said that every State Grandmaster of the Yan State came from this family.
Accountability is that the Imperial Advisor represents the Emperor, the heaven to pay tribute, hope to receive the blessing and favor of the heavens.
In her previous life as a queen, she had never seen this Imperial Advisor.
After hearing that he was not willing to see anyone easily, even the previous emperor had to invite a few times before he was willing to leave the mountain. After leaving the mountain, he continued to stand guard at the west side of the Yan State.
To the west was the Bone Clan, it was wild and strong, the Yan State's army had suffered many losses. Only after being under the Imperial Advisor's watch did the chaos gradually subside.
At this critical juncture, why had the Imperial Advisor come back from the west?
"Miss, what do you think the Imperial Advisor looks like?" Daffodil Daydream's face was filled with curiosity.
There was no helping it, in this country, other than the emperor, Imperial Advisors were the rarest animals. Very few people had ever met their own Imperial Advisors.
"I'm not an immortal, how would I know what he looks like? He might be very ugly and scary, and he even eats people." Qin Luofei said in all seriousness.
"Miss." Feverfew grinned in dissatisfaction.
Qin Luofei did not have much interest in that Imperial Advisor. At the worst, she could have a man that was even more beautiful than the Seventh Prince.
Thinking of that demon-level character, Qin Luofei sighed. Did she not know that he was still alive?
After breakfast, a eunuch at Emperor Yun's side came over to inform him that the Emperor had ordered for Qin Luo Fei to meet him at the palace.
What was this monster planning to do now?
Qin Luofei didn't want to go, but she also didn't dare to disobey the decree.
The palace had already started spreading rumors that the late emperor was currently living in the Ling Wang's manor. In an instant, the palace was in a tumult, and the ones that could not sit still the most were the late emperor's concubines s.
The moment Qin Luofei stepped out of the house, she saw Luo Ziyan hurriedly bring a maid into the courtyard. When she saw the young eunuch by the Emperor Yun's side, her expression couldn't help but change.
Qin Luofei sighed inwardly. She kept having the feeling that it would become increasingly difficult for her to explain her relationship with the Emperor Yun.
"Little sister, where are you going?" Luo Ziyan's eyes did not turn as she stared at Qin Luofei.
Qin Luofei's expression froze slightly as she smiled and said, "Elder sister, why have you come to my place so early in the morning?"
"Since younger sister is busy, then elder sister will take her leave first." Luo Ziyan did not wait for Qin Luofei to speak and led the maid away in a hurry.
"Miss." Seeing helplessness appear on Qin Luofei's face, Dazzling Spring quickly went over and took hold of her arm.
Only then did Qin Luofei come back to her senses. She said, "Let's go!"
The two of them followed the young eunuch to the royal study to meet the Emperor Yun.
In the past, Qin Luofei had also gone to the imperial study. At that time, it was still when that person was still there.
Before he even reached the royal study, he saw a man in white clothes standing at the corner of the corridor with his head held high. It was unknown what he was looking at.
His posture was extremely beautiful. That sort of beauty was ethereal, and no one dared to defile it.
His face was pale, as if nothing and no one could match his gaze.
Under his eyes, there was a patch of white cloud that was completely one with his clothes.
The palace had never seen such a man before. Who was he?
"Greetings to the Imperial Advisor." When the young eunuch saw the man in white, he hurried forward to pay his respects.
The white-robed man, however, didn't notice this, and continued to stare at the flower in front of him.
Was he the legendary Imperial Advisor?
"Miss, is he the Imperial Advisor?" Daffodil Daydream was surprised.
Qin Luofei nodded, but her steps didn't stop as she walked behind the Imperial Advisor.
When he reached the entrance of the royal study, he heard voices coming from inside.
"Your majesty, this subject believes that we can have the late emperor guard our ancestors and resolve this crisis."
"This subject also agrees with Lord Li's words. The late emperor's return at this time is detrimental to the country."
Qin Luofei frowned slightly. These ministers had betrayed their original masters in such a short period of time. It seemed like they were really adding insult to injury.
Qin Luofei waved her hand and told Daffodil Daydream to back off. She also retreated to the side, so it would be better if she didn't listen too much.
The Emperor Yun sat on the high dragon throne, and none of the ministers could see what the Emperor was thinking. However, the Imperial Advisor had always been loyal to the late emperor, so returning at this time would not be a good idea!
"This Emperor has already understood the intentions of our beloved officials. You may leave for the time being!"
"We will take our leave." The ministers looked at each other, but the late emperor was the emperor's blood brother after all. As his subjects, they didn't dare to speak carelessly.
When the ministers who had walked out of the palace door saw the Concubine Qin standing next to the palace, they were slightly more doubtful, but they had all turned a blind eye and walked past.
After a moment, the eunuch who brought them to the imperial study earlier had already entered the palace. Not long after, he passed down the order, "Your Majesty, please invite Concubine Qin in."
Qin Luofei nodded, grabbed her dress train and walked into the palace. There were eunuchs on both sides of the palace door closing up.
Inside the palace, only Emperor Yun was reading the memorial.
Qin Luofei stepped forward slowly and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
He clearly knew she was coming, yet he showed it to her. This man was truly hateful.
"Get up! Come here, let me show you something good. " Emperor Yun raised his head, a rare smile appearing on his handsome face as he waved his hand at Qin Luofei.
After Qin Luofei pondered for a moment, she walked up the stairs to Emperor Yun's side. She saw him take out a box from the desk and open it, revealing a pearl step shake, each bead was as thick as a finger and emitted a white light.
"Do you like it?" Emperor Yun took the step shake out of the box and handed it over to Qin Luofei.
Qin Luofei quickly refused, "Your Majesty, these pearls are really too precious. I cannot take them."
Seeing Qin Luofei decline, Emperor Yun's face revealed traces of displeasure.
He stood up and forced the hairpin into her hair. After looking at it carefully, he said, "This pearl is indeed suitable for you. This Emperor really likes it."
At this point, Qin Luofei could only say, "Thank you, your majesty, for your gift."
Emperor Yun once again sat on the Dragon Throne, reached out, grabbed Qin Luofei's finger, and pulled her into his embrace.
"Your Majesty, you …" Qin Luofei was truly a little angry.
Emperor Yun's finger caressed Qin Luofei's hair, which was scattered across her face, as a smile leaked out of the corner of her mouth. "Did you think that royal brother would sit on this throne and treat me coldly because he came back?"
"No matter what the late emperor says, I am still his concubine." Qin Luofei avoided the Emperor Yun's finger, as she said angrily.
Emperor Yun burst out laughing, as if he had heard something funny.
"I didn't expect that royal brother would have such an ungrateful concubine, it really makes me envious."
Qin Luofei continued to struggle as she sternly said, "Your Majesty didn't call chenqie here to take advantage of chenqie, right?"
"Does this Emperor even need to take advantage of you? All the women in this world belong to me, I will favor whoever I want to? Anyone who wants to be conferred a title can be conferred a title. " The Emperor Yun still took liberties with Qin Luofei, and did not take her warning seriously at all.
"Your majesty, don't go too far." Qin Luofei glowered at the Emperor Yun.
Emperor Yun hugged Qin Luofei tightly. With a smile on his lips and a shameless look, he said, "How is it that I have gone overboard? Where is my Love Consort that I have gone overboard? We just like the Love Consort. "
"You …" Qin Luofei was so infuriated by Emperor Yun that she had the urge to kill him. She kept having the feeling that he wouldn't do this to her for no reason at all.
"As long as you obey me, I'll grant you the title of empress. How about that?" Emperor Yun hugged Qin Luofei, looking at her with soft and gentle eyes.
Facing such a shameless person, Qin Luofei was completely speechless. This person was still the emperor, she couldn't do anything about him, so she could only shut her mouth and ignore him.
"Since you didn't say anything, I'll take it as if you agreed." Emperor Yun was still smiling mischievously, he did not look serious at all.
Qin Luofei angrily pinched Emperor Yun's arm with all her might, to the point that Emperor Yun's face turned black.
"You clearly don't like me, yet you only know how to tease me. Is teasing me that fun? Back then, when I wasn't married, it was you who didn't want me. Now that I'm like this and you tease me like this, aren't you being too excessive? Is it that great to be the Emperor? you can bully people as you please. "
"When did I bully you?" "What I say is the truth. I want to make you empress. As long as you nod your head, I can decree it immediately." Emperor Yun restrained the smile on his face and said seriously.
"A good girl doesn't want to marry a second husband. I'm sorry, but I can't agree to the emperor's terms." Qin Luofei truly felt a headache, Emperor Yun was too troublesome to deal with.
After the Emperor Yun heard Qin Luofei's words, he smiled and said, "Then what's easy? I shall grant your wish. "
Just as Qin Luofei was about to understand the meaning of Emperor Yun's words, a young eunuch pushed open the door and entered, playing the report, "Your majesty, Ling Wang wishes to seek an audience."
"Yes."
Seeing that Emperor Yun was still carrying his, Qin Luofei quickly broke free. Emperor Yun did not stop his, and right when Qin Luofei was busy tidying the clothes on his body, he heard the sound of footsteps entering the great hall.
"Ling Wang pays his respect to Your Majesty."
"Greetings, your Imperial Majesty."
Other than the Ling Wang's voice, there was also a voice that Qin Luofei was familiar with.
Qin Luofei was stunned. She raised her eyes to look, and coincidentally met with that pair of cold, piercing eyes.
His eyes looked up and down at Qin Luofei's messy clothes and loose hair at her temples. Without a doubt, he knew what had happened before he entered the hall.
She was so close to Emperor Yun, and Emperor Yun also rarely smiled.
In an instant, his heart felt as though it was being torn apart.
"Rise." Emperor Yun waved his hand at the two of them.
She knew he did not have any good intentions. Most likely, he already knew that the late emperor had come to meet him, which was why he gave her the decree. And he treated her like this, just to embarrass the late emperor.
