Chapter 181 - sparring with the Imperial Consort Yu
"Is that so? Imperial Consort Yu, didn't you say that you want us to see your swordsmanship? Let This Emperor spar with you for a bit. " Emperor Ming was suddenly interested.
"Really? "Your majesty." Lin Yuyue had not sparred with the Emperor over sword techniques for a long time.
"Go, bring that treasured sword over." Emperor Ming instructed the young eunuch by his side.
Not long after the young eunuch left, he retrieved the Azure Dragon Sword that Emperor Ming usually used.
The Azure Dragon Sword was refined by a sword crafting expert. It was incomparably sharp and was a rare treasured sword.
Imperial Consort Yu still used her normal treasure sword as the two of them continued to fight.
Qin Luofei was looking at things from the side, it looked like the Imperial Consort Yu was slightly stronger than the Emperor, but she was deliberately avoiding the Emperor Ming at all times.
Looking at the way they were swinging their swords together, Qin Luofei felt inexplicably unhappy in her heart. After all, she had once loved this man and lost everything.
Now, his tenderness had also been extended to another woman who shared the same suffering with him. It was a pity that that that woman was no longer the Empress Leng that had followed him for more than ten years.
Qin Luofei was no longer in the mood to continue watching, her eyes were staring fixedly into the distance. It wasn't until the end of their exchange that she finally turned around and cheered nonstop.
"The Emperor and the Imperial Consort Yu are such a perfect match, even his swordplay is so well-coordinated." After all, she was her sister. Although she wasn't happy in her heart, she was more disappointed when faced with this man who betrayed her.
Imperial Consort Yu looked at him with affection. Emperor Ming reached out his hand, took the kernels from maid and carefully wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Qin Luofei looked at the tenderness in his eyes, doing something she couldn't see.
"Elder sister is here." Imperial Consort Yu could not help but speak shyly when she saw Qin Luofei looking at her.
Emperor Ming sneered and said: "Yue'er is thinking too much. Concubine Qin has seen nothing, why would you care about the girl I favor? That is Concubine Qin."
Qin Luofei was speechless. From the beginning to the end, she still felt that she had betrayed him.
"The Emperor is right."
Seeing Qin Luofei like this, the Emperor Ming became even angrier.
Imperial Consort Yu also noticed the conflict between Emperor Ming and Qin Luofei, thought about what the palace maid said, and quickly said: "Elder sister, why don't we chat again today."
Qin Luofei had long since stopped wanting to poke around to see their love.
"Chenqie will take her leave." Emperor Ming didn't say a word, and Qin Luofei hurriedly left with Daihua.
"Miss, it was so close just now. Luckily the emperor didn't see it. Otherwise, I don't know if he would have blamed you." Sunset Chrysanthemum broke out in a cold sweat for Qin Luofei.
"Yes, why would Emperor Ming suddenly come? Few people should have been there. " Qin Luofei suspected that someone had already set their eyes on his. It was possible that someone had intentionally lured the emperor to the backyard.
"Miss, then do you want to learn it in the future?" Sunflower was worried about Miss's safety.
"I have to go. In this palace, only when I become strong will I be able to protect myself."
Before a second unforeseen event occurred in the Imperial Palace, Qin Luofei decided that she must properly enrich herself. Learning medicine was one thing, but practicing martial arts was the other.
Imperial Consort Yu had a pure personality and would definitely teach him wholeheartedly. She was lucky to be able to meet her. However, she had deceived her after all. She hoped that she wouldn't hate him in the future.
In the Zither Hall, the Imperial Consort Leng became angry from embarrassment when she heard that the Emperor was training with the Imperial Consort Yu in the backyard.
He had the dragon seed, but the Emperor Ming had not come to see him for quite some time.
Could it be that even his own flesh and blood could not compare to that woman?
What was even more unexpected was that the Emperor, who was previously the most favored Concubine Qin, very rarely visited her. She didn't know what kind of medicine this fox spirit gave the emperor to be so infatuated with her. In terms of appearance, she wasn't outstanding, but she had the emperor's favor.
It seemed that he had to give this woman some color, so that she wouldn't know that there was a woman in the imperial harem who held a higher position than her. On the other hand, she had addressed him as the Concubine Qin Sisters. It seemed that she was destined to go against him.
The Imperial Consort Leng had always been sending people to watch the movements of the Imperial Consort Yu and knew that the Concubine Qin was secretly learning martial arts with the Imperial Consort Yu. This news was a golden opportunity for the Imperial Consort Leng.
What would the Emperor think if he knew that the Concubine Qin would train in the martial arts? And the one who was teaching him was Imperial Consort Yu. The Concubine Qin was once favored by the Emperor Yun. Could it be that the Emperor did not suspect that they were in cahoots with the Emperor Yun?
The last time the emperor suddenly came, he almost caught them practicing martial arts. This time, Qin Luofei directly invited the Imperial Consort Yu to her own Huishang Hall. Compared to the Jade Phoenix Hall, it was impossible for the Emperor to come to this place.
"Sorry for troubling you, sister, to come over and teach me, but after today, I can practice by myself." I don't want to be seen by some villains and told the Emperor Ming, so I'm worried that it will affect you as well. " Qin Luofei had already ordered the chrysanthemum to close the palace doors, and even to guard outside as a precaution.
"I believe that even if the emperor knew, he wouldn't blame us, right? "Big sister and I are just trying to relieve our boredom. Besides, I can protect the safety of the emperor even after practicing martial arts, so why wouldn't the emperor allow it?" After entering the palace, Imperial Consort Yu received the emperor's love and became as straightforward and straightforward as before. "
Qin Luofei's eyes darkened slightly as she smiled and said, "In the palace, your thoughts can only represent your own thoughts, but not everyone can think as simply as you. No matter what you do, you have to think twice before acting."
"Thank you sister for your teachings, I will remember it in my heart." Imperial Consort Yu's expression was also somewhat calm, the palace was full of nonsense, it was not fake at all.
The two of them started practicing with the sword. Qin Luofei improved very quickly, and in the short span of a dozen days, she actually succeeded on a small level. Even the Imperial Consort Yu couldn't help but praise her.
Her diligent training was all for the sake of her own blood feud.
Imperial Consort Yu didn't know that the man she loved the most was the man Qin Luofei wanted to kill the most. She simply thought that everything she did was for the sake of love.
When the palace maid sent by the Imperial Consort Leng saw Daihua waiting outside, he immediately went back to report. Imperial Consort Leng immediately stood up and went to Huishang Hall. Sunset Chrysanthemum had long seen the palace maids who went back to notify Imperial Consort Leng.
The Imperial Consort Leng had not arrived at the Huishang Hall yet, so she saw that the Concubine Qin and the Imperial Consort Yu were sitting on a pavilion by the pond, talking and laughing. Concubine Qin would occasionally throw food into the pond to feed the fishes.
When Qin Luofei saw Imperial Consort Leng enter the courtyard, she hurriedly stood up and smiled: "Why are you here, Big Sister Imperial Consort Leng?"
"I was just passing by." Imperial Consort Leng swept his eyes across Imperial Consort Yu.
"Big sister Imperial Consort Leng, where do you want to go in such a hurry? You scared the fish. " Imperial Consort Yu was not afraid of Imperial Consort Leng, and her words were not nice.
"Imperial Consort Yu, you're actually together with Concubine Qin!" Imperial Consort Leng already knew, but she pretended not to know.
Seeing the look in Imperial Consort Leng's eyes, Imperial Consort Yu made it clear that she was going to get along soon, and laughed: "I have a chance to meet big sister Concubine Qin, it's so lonely in the palace, so it's quite fun to look for big sister Concubine Qin for chess and embroidery. Why did Sister Imperial Consort Leng suddenly come here, could it be that there is something good here? "
Before Imperial Consort Yu came to the palace, she was already a venomous tongue. But now, Imperial Consort Yu was on equal footing with her, from the first time she saw Imperial Consort Leng, Imperial Consort Yu was not feeling good. It was obvious that this woman was scheming. She would not be merciful in front of such a woman.
"What the Imperial Consort Yu said is so much that it's hard to predict. Maybe you want a good person to become an enemy someday, whether it's a friend or foe. Can you make a clear distinction between the two?" Imperial Consort Leng could hear the hidden meaning within Imperial Consort Leng's words.
"The only thing I can be sure of is my friends. As for my enemies, I wish even more that they weren't." The Imperial Consort Yu laughed.
"Imperial Consort Yu has just entered the palace and does not understand the evils of the human heart. It is hard to avoid hearing the nonsense of others and trusting them lightly. But I believe that we will meet again after a long time. I believe that one day you will understand what I have said. Seeing the deep affection you two have for each other, I am extremely envious, and certainly wish you two will continue to be so good. " Seeing that Imperial Consort Yu had not moved an inch, she knew that it would be difficult to get the two of them to go against each other.
The main blame was on that idiot Concubine Qin. Who was he? Offending him so recklessly had caused him to be at a disadvantage.
"What the Imperial Consort Leng said is correct. Towards someone who has never shown his true feelings, he naturally does not understand the warmth of the human world. When the Imperial Consort Yu and I treat each other sincerely, friendship will naturally not weaken." Qin Luofei added on the side.
The Imperial Consort Leng was obviously jealous. Today, the imperial concubine that the Emperor doted the most on stood on Qin Luofei's side, and indirectly on Consort Shu's side.
A few days ago, the Emperor was still very keen on talent, but ever since the Imperial Consort Yu entered the palace, the Emperor did not even question him and passed her authority to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Consort Shu busied herself with choosing talents everyday, to the point where she could not care about Imperial Consort Leng at all. Only then did Imperial Consort Leng have the time to take action against Qin Luofei and the others.
"What a great saying, there is true love in this world."
Consort Shu walked out from behind the fake mountain in the pond.
When Imperial Consort Leng saw Consort Shu, she immediately restrained herself. A good girl would never suffer losses, how could the three of them speak out for themselves?
"Consort Shu is here too. It seems like it's better for chenqie to return to the Zither Hall to nurture her baby." Imperial Consort Leng said this and was about to get up, but she was stopped by Consort Shu.
"Why did the Imperial Consort Leng leave in such a hurry? I have something to discuss with you. Regarding the selection of women, the Emperor has already given all of her authority to me and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But, little sister shouldn't stay idle either.
The Imperial Consort Leng was the most unwilling to accept this kind of talent. She coldly laughed: "Consort Shu can decide this matter on her own, there's no need to ask about this. "Since the Emperor has already handed over all the authority to you, I'll go back and serve as a foil to your actions."
"If the emperor had not called for the Imperial Consort Leng's selection, I would naturally have been too lazy to call for you." Consort Shu spoke straightforwardly.
"It's impossible to go against the sacred order. When?" Imperial Consort Leng raised her eyebrows. Why did the Emperor become so enthusiastic again?
"Tomorrow, I hope Imperial Consort Leng can be punctual." After Consort Shu finished speaking, he walked onto the bridge to meet Qin Luofei and the Imperial Consort Yu.
Seeing the three of them being so intimate, Imperial Consort Leng felt that she was unnecessary.
