Chapter 177 - Flattery
Hearing Imperial Consort Leng's persuasion, the next day Concubine Qin went to Jade Phoenix Hall.
, who had just arrived at the palace, did not understand the palace's rules. She only knew that she would be satisfied with just seeing the emperor everyday. What Emperor Ming liked was this kind of pure and fragmented love of hers, so she was satisfied with her wish, and that was to come to Jade Phoenix Hall to visit her every day.
"Imperial Concubine, this servant sees that your mood is getting better with each passing day. No wonder the emperor dotes so much on you." Qin'er carefully helped Lin Yuyue put on her makeup. She had already become Lin Yuyue's personal servant.
Although Lin Yuyue was the imperial concubine, she did not have any airs of arrogance, and was as friendly towards the maids as if they were sisters.
After all, she was born in the countryside and wasn't like an ordinary girl from a large family.
"Empress, Concubine Qin is here to visit." A palace maid came in to report to him.
"Concubine Qin?" Lin Yuyue had a lot of memories of this woman, and the one who mocked her looks was her.
Lin Yuyue didn't have any good impression of this Concubine Qin, why would she come to see him?
"No, just say that I don't have time right now."
"Yes, Empress." The palace maid went out to report.
"This Concubine Qin is really funny, now she's come to flatter the Empress too. It's not the time to ridicule the Empress." Qin'er said shamelessly.
Lin Yuyue did not speak, she only looked at herself in the copper mirror.
The maid returned very quickly.
"Reporting to the Empress, the Concubine Qin said that she has an important matter to discuss with you."
"Fine, let her in." Lin Yuyue was a straightforward person, and felt that rejecting them like this was not appropriate. After all, he did not have a place in the palace, and would inevitably have to deal with it.
Although Concubine Qin was outside, she still hated him so much that her teeth were itching. However, her position was too low, so she couldn't do anything to Imperial Consort Yu.
It was probably because Emperor Ming had guessed what had happened today that he dared to take the risk of being attended by a group of officials and made Lin Yuyue his imperial concubine.
The palace was very complicated. Lin Yuyue was born into the masses and truly did not understand those etiquette. Her position was high, so the other concubine s were helpless to do anything.
When the Concubine Qin entered the house, she saw the luxurious decorations the house had. They were all bestowed good things by the Emperor Ming, and were much more expensive than his own house, she felt even more afraid of it.
This is the gift that chenqie specially picked out for Imperial Consort Yu. I wonder if Imperial Concubine likes it. " In order to curry favor with Imperial Consort Yu, Concubine Qin gave her her favorite jewelry for free.
Lin Yuyue glanced at the accessories as she pursed her lips and said: "No need for formalities, Concubine Qin, may I know why you are here today? "It seems like there is nothing between you and me that needs to be said."
"Empress, chenqie is here today to offer gifts as a apology. On that day, chenqie was too reckless, and did not know that you were the Imperial Consort Yu's Empress. She teased the Empress at the edge of the pond, but chenqie was blind and did not recognize Mount Tai. Although Concubine Qin was extremely unwilling to say these things, she could only compromise for her future position in the palace.
Lin Yuyue laughed, and said: "Guilty? What crime did elder sister commit? When the Japanese palace has no status, elder sister naturally won't be polite to me, sister also didn't take it to heart, sister, please go back! As for the gift, please take it back. The jewelry bestowed to me by the Emperor is enough for me to wear every day. I don't need your hairpin, elder sister. "
Lin Yuyue finally heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, and was able to report the incident that she was humiliated by this woman that day.
"Empress, are you still blaming your elder sister?" Since Concubine Qin was also unwilling to leave the palace so easily, then, the grudge between her and Lin Yuyue would have been settled.
Lin Yuyue was not afraid of offending this Concubine Qin, and laughed: "I am not blaming Elder Sister. I only think that Elder Sister must be lacking a few pieces of jewelry, how could I have the nerve to snatch away Elder Sister's love?"
"Since that's the case, chenqie will return first and disturb the Imperial Concubine." Concubine Qin clenched her teeth. This Imperial Consort Yu really thinks herself to be important, to actually not take him seriously.
Concubine Qin was so angry that she went to the Zither Hall to tell Imperial Consort Leng about it. All of this was within Imperial Consort Leng's expectations. She saw that Lin Yuyue was not someone to be trifled with, and was now being doted upon by the Emperor.
After Concubine Qin left, she secretly thought.
Wasn't Lin Yue Mo a part of the Consort Shu that was used to deal with him in the palace?
It seemed that it would be difficult to make this woman his chess piece. Imperial Consort Leng leaned lazily on the beauty bed, a cold light gradually appearing in her eyes.
Inside the Huishang Hall, Dusk Blossom was accompanying Qin Luofei on a stroll in the courtyard.
"Miss, do you know that the Consort Shu and the Imperial Consort Leng have chosen the women s to be pampered by the Emperor? I heard that the Consort Shu was the lifesaver of the Emperor when she was in trouble." Daihua whispered in Qin Luofei's ears.
"Is that so? "I didn't expect the emperor to be so loyal, this really surprises me." Qin Luofei said with an indifferent expression. She had also heard a lot from Luo Ziyan, saying that this woman had been resurrected from the dead, and was also a legend.
Xi Hua continued: "Miss, I heard that a lot of concubine have sent congratulatory gifts to Imperial Consort Yu, do you want us to go visit that Imperial Consort Yu some other day?"
"I don't want to get involved in these things. I'll see him when the time comes, so there's no need to curry favor with him." Qin Luofei shook her head slightly. Taking the initiative to look at the Imperial Consort Yu at this time would only make people feel that she was flattering him, to the point where she was too lazy to do so.
However, once Imperial Consort Yu entered the palace, she was immediately pampered. Some people would not be able to do it.
At this time, the Imperial Consort Leng should have already made her move, this was her usual tactic. As soon as the imperial harem was filled with newcomers, she had been busy plotting and framing them. She was as sinister and sinister as if she had been for a day. She obediently stayed here, waiting for the drama within the palace.
As expected, the Imperial Consort Leng soon made her move. After the Concubine Qin gave her a hard time when she came to visit, she personally brought a palace maid to visit the Imperial Consort Yu.
If Imperial Consort Yu also disregarded her, then she could only become her Imperial Consort Leng's stepping stone.
Imperial Consort Leng arrived at her courtyard. Just as she wanted to notify them, she was stopped.
Her position was higher than the Imperial Consort Yu, and now that she was of the Dragon race, she was unwilling to give too much face to Lin Yuyue.
She had been to this palace before, but who would have thought that it would become even more extravagant today? It seemed that the emperor's most woman was truly doting on him.
Imperial Consort Yu and Qin'er were in the embroidery workshop, and upon seeing Imperial Consort Leng suddenly barge in, they couldn't help but be stunned.
"Imperial Consort Yu, you are here, so I thought you were going to accompany the Emperor to the Imperial Garden again. The Imperial Consort Leng had a charming smile on her face and her tone was calm. It was hard to tell what she was thinking.
"Sister Imperial Concubine, what brought you here today?" Imperial Consort Yu stood up with a stiff smile.
Before she had entered the palace, she had heard that this Imperial Consort Leng was once the favorite of the Emperor.
Imperial Consort Leng continued to act like a beauty, laughing: "Little sister, there's no need to be so courteous, get up!"
"Thank you, Imperial Concubine Sis." Imperial Consort Yu stood up, and became a bed.
"Sister has been in the palace for some time now. I've been wanting to see you for a long time, but I can't be free. Sister won't blame you!" Imperial Consort Leng held onto Imperial Consort Yu's hand, and said softly and slowly.
"I am so grateful. Your sister is already very happy to be able to come and see you. " Lin Yuyue heard that this Imperial Consort Leng was the most vicious and merciless one, hence he had to be careful in dealing with him.
Imperial Consort Leng laughed again: "Little sister, don't be so formal, we're sisters after entering the palace."
"Sisters? Elder sister imperial concubine, you're too polite. Elder sister's status is higher than my younger sister's, I don't dare to climb too high. Lin Yuyue knew the character of the Imperial Consort Leng. How could he be willing to be sisters with the Imperial Consort Leng so easily? When Lin Yuyue first entered the palace, she did not want to cause any trouble, so she hoped that the Imperial Consort Leng could understand the meaning behind her words.
Seeing that the Imperial Consort Yu did not give him any face, she was truly an untactful person.
She had initially wanted to resolve the conflict between Imperial Consort Yu and herself, but it seemed that Imperial Consort Yu was also a person who liked to hold grudges. Even she herself had to be on guard.
"Sister, you have been in the palace for a long time. You rarely go out for walks. I wonder if sister would be interested in accompanying sister for a walk?" The flowers in the imperial garden were blooming just right, so it would be boring for my sister to stay in the Jade Phoenix Hall all day. "
"I appreciate your kindness, sister. It's just that my sister is a bit tired and needs some rest. The Emperor is coming to eat with my sister at night. I need to recover my energy." Seeing that the Imperial Consort Leng was so adamant, Lin Yuyue could only say some harsh words to cut off her thoughts of roping him in.
Imperial Consort Yu's words made Imperial Consort Leng jealous. This woman was actually showing off the love the Emperor had for her in front of him.
When the Emperor Ming was crippled for him back then, he had no idea where she was. But now, she actually dared to be so arrogant in front of him.
If she lost her favour one day, she would show her that she was not that easily bullied.
"Then I won't disturb my sister's rest. If you have time, you can come to the Zither Hall and chat with me for tea." Imperial Consort Leng had always been a person whose reputation was inferior to her, but when she said one set of words, she felt that it was another story.
This Imperial Consort Yu had only been in the palace for a short while, and she was actually so arrogant. She had yet to take revenge for the red rash on the side of the Concubine Qin. Now, there was another Imperial Consort Yu who was causing trouble, and the more concubines she had in the harem, the more she was worried about.
If being soft did not work, then they would take the hard way. No concubine would reject someone that Imperial Consort Leng personally went to curry favor with, but Imperial Consort Yu refused the offer instead. There would be no need to be polite to this woman in the future. Since she had just arrived, she didn't believe that she wouldn't be able to find out what was going on with this woman.
Imperial Consort Leng had sent people to inform Concubine Qin that there was no need to be courteous to Imperial Consort Yu in the future. This woman could not be on the same boat as them. How dare she give the order for the guests to leave in front of the palace maids? The more Imperial Consort Leng thought about it, the more angry she became. She didn't know whether the baby in her womb was male or female. She was only willing to give birth to a dragon seed as soon as possible to protect her position in the palace.
