Chapter 208 - Self-congratulation

"If nothing unexpected happens, tonight the emperor will flip your name plate. Just you wait." Imperial Consort Leng glanced at Su Fei Fei, unable to see that he still had some cultivation experience left that he did not love her for nothing.

Su Fei nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, esteemed wangfei."

Returning to Bright Moon Hall, Su Fei took a bath and changed her clothes, then waited for Emperor Ming's arrival. But after waiting for a long time, she still could not find Emperor Ming. Su Fei couldn't help but walk out of her room to take a look, could it be that Emperor Ming had changed her mind at the last moment?

She returned back to her room and looked at the incense placed on the bed. This incense was not just any ordinary incense, as long as Emperor Ming smelled this scent, he would be extremely interested in her.

"Love Consort, what are you doing?" The Emperor Ming suddenly stood at the door silently. Su Fei was startled.

"Your majesty, you didn't even say anything when you came. You scared chenqie." Su Fei walked up with a spoiled tone.

"I was reviewing the memorial paper just now, so I came late." The current Emperor Ming was like a completely different person compared to the him from before. But now, his eyes were filled with gentleness, especially when he smelled the incense. She impatiently pressed Su Fei down on the bed.

"Su Fei, I've neglected you."

"Your majesty." Su Fei said in a delicate voice.

Some of the officials and girls put down the curtains of the pavilion and the inner room.

That night, both of them went through a storm. Su Fei Fei thus became one of the Emperor Ming's favorite sons.

As Qin Luofei sat in the yard, she couldn't help but think of Su Fei Fei's gaze yesterday. It was clearly a gaze of hatred. From the pearl incident to yesterday's bamboo leaves' melody, this Su Fei had made Qin Luofei feel that she had another goal.

"Miss, last night the Emperor actually flipped open Su Fei's plate." Daffodil Daydream was panting heavily as she walked back from the imperial kitchens, and she couldn't help but say this to Qin Luofei.

The people inside the palace were already beginning to discuss amongst themselves what a good method Su Fei had used to make the Emperor angry again.

"Even if you didn't say it, I'd have already guessed it." Qin Luofei said.

"That's true. If Su Fei is able to make a tune out of such a strong bamboo leaf, then I'm afraid there won't be a second person in the palace." Daffodil Daydream said.

Qin Luofei giggled and said, "How can that be difficult? I know your young miss, too."

"Miss, you know it too?" Daffodil Daydream was stunned.

Qin Luofei found it hard to be in a good mood, and said, "Go and get a leaf, I'll blow it for you."

Flower found a piece of bamboo leaf and passed it to Qin Luofei, who put it to her lips and blew on it. Daffodil Daydream was stunned. She had followed the young lady for so long, yet she didn't know that she had such a skill.

"Miss, how come you also know how to boast?" Daffodil Daydream had a face full of curiosity.

Qin Luofei played with the bamboo leaves, saying, "This isn't anything strange in the countryside, everyone can brag about it. After I read about it in the book, I learned to be bored. "

It turned out that in the few months when the Emperor Ming sealed the Huishang Hall, Qin Luofei had had nothing better to do, so she learnt this kind of bamboo leaf blaring method.

Most of the people in the palace were the children of officials and were proficient in all kinds of calligraphy and calligraphy, but very few people knew about it. It was no wonder that the Emperor Ming liked Su Fei's song, and she did not want to compete with Su Fei for anything. Ever since he started to think about that person, Qin Luofei no longer wanted to obtain his favor.

"Why didn't Miss compete with Su Fei that day? Feverfew thinks you sound better than she does. "

"Humph!" I don't have that kind of heart for your young miss. " Qin Luofei said.

She kept a low profile, and people kept looking for trouble with her. Right now, she just wanted to be safe.

The Emperor Ming would not spoil a woman for no reason. She understood this best. What's more, she was a woman that was rumored to have served two generations of kings. Furthermore, she was a concubine who had lost her daughter. It was not easy for her to obtain his trust and love.

However, she also believed that Su Fei wouldn't be favored for long. Although she was beautiful, there was no lack of beautiful women in the palace. Emperor Ming had always favored Imperial Consort Yu and Imperial Consort Leng, and most likely, it was because of Su Fei's parents. Emperor Ming would only favor those who had value in using him.

Daffodil Daydream naturally didn't know the meaning behind Qin Luofei's words, but her face was full of doubt.

But during this period of time, the Imperial Consort Yu was probably going to be ignored, the Emperor Ming was someone who would forget her old love the moment she became a new lover. Qin Luofei sighed. If this harem had many schemes planned out for them, they would never be able to cause peace, and she herself would never be able to escape her responsibility.

Even though she had always kept a low profile, she had always been set up by others.

In the Bright Moon Hall, Su Fei's playful laughter came early in the morning.

"Your Majesty, you're so annoying." Su Fei looked at Emperor Ming coquettishly.

"Love Consort, blow again for us." Emperor Ming picked a bamboo leaf and gave it to Su Fei.

Su Fei took the bamboo leaves and placed it next to her mouth. As she played, she winked at Emperor Ming. The two became even more intimate after a night.

"I'll go back and busy myself. I'll come back tonight." Emperor Ming reluctantly left Su Fei.

Ever since the previous incident, Su Fei knew how to please the Emperor Ming more. Just relying on the Imperial Consort Leng was far from enough, and the most important thing was to obtain the Emperor's favor.

Watching Emperor Ming's leaving figure, Su Fei's eyes darkened. Unless there was no other choice, she wouldn't die with him. She still wanted to go out and see them alive, and this was only the beginning.

"Su Fei, it's time to eat." The maidservant walked over and said.

Now, with the death of Imperial Consort Leng's precious pearl, she did not send anyone to follow him. With such a rare freedom, Su Fei spent all her time in the study reading medical books and eating.

Every time when Emperor Ming favoured her, she would burn a type of incense. This incense was definitely not an ordinary incense. Those who smelled it for a long time would slowly become reliant on this feeling. She knew that men hated the new and hated the old, so she could only use this method to make it so that he wouldn't be able to miss her for an entire night.

Inside the Jade Phoenix Hall, the Imperial Consort Yu sat in the courtyard and admired himself. This was the first time since entering the palace that the Emperor Ming had not been here for so long. Now, the only person left in his sight was Su Fei.

"Imperial Consort Yu, what are you thinking about?" Qin Luofei had specifically rushed over to comfort her because she understood her disappointment.

"Sister Qin, why are you here?"

Qin Luofei sat beside the Imperial Consort Yu and said, "I came to accompany you, are you in a bad mood? You don't look too good. "

"Look at the lotus flowers that filled the pond. They are so beautiful, yet no one appreciates them. Why is good always fleeting? Yesterday, she was still coquettish, but now she's so cold. " Imperial Consort Yu's face was filled with disappointment.

"As a harem woman, you are destined to endure this loneliness. From the moment you entered, you should have known that such a day would come." Qin Luofei sighed.

Imperial Consort Yu had been spoiled by the Emperor Ming in the past, and now that they were fighting with each other passionately, it was no wonder that the Imperial Consort Yu felt dejected.

The Imperial Consort Yu said in a lonely voice: "Even though it had already become clear, when it finally arrived, it was still unacceptable."

"Little Sister Yu, why don't you divert your attention and not think about these things? Perhaps your mood will be better. The palace is lonely, and our future path is still very far away. " Qin Luofei advised.

"Fortunately, I have you to accompany me. Otherwise, I don't know how the life in the palace will be lived in the future." Imperial Consort Yu's mood was extremely low after being ignored by Emperor Ming.

Qin Luo Fei held onto Imperial Consort Yu's hand and said, "So, little sister, you have to look a little more open. Don't think too hard about anyone's indifference."

Imperial Consort Yu nodded.

"How about we practice the sword together?"

Imperial Consort Yu nodded her head. Her greatest pleasure with Qin Luofei was because of this, where they could forget all the troubles when they practiced the sword together.

After gaining her favor, Su Fei walked out of the Bright Moon Hall with an imposing manner. She was no longer the Su Fei who had been hiding behind Imperial Consort Leng.

"Yo, isn't this Empress Su?" Concubine Qin saw Su Fei coming all the way to pay her respects.

"You are?" Not everyone recognized the imperial concubine Su Fei. In addition, he hadn't been pampered previously, so leaving the palace was a form of hiding and dodging.

"Chenqie is the Concubine Qin. Empress Su really forgets too much. Even us sisters can't remember much." Concubine Qin said in a weird tone.

Su Fei saw that the Concubine Qin's position was lower than hers, so she said impolitely, "You are the only one to be blamed, Concubine Qin.

What Su Fei's words meant was that she looked average and had been in the palace for a few years. She was just a girl with delicate skin, yet she dared to put on airs with him.

"That's true. How could chenqie be like esteemed Empress Su? The first day I entered the palace was still fresh in Emperor Ming's mind." The Concubine Qin would naturally not be polite either. This woman did not have a clean body but she was still doted on by the Emperor Ming. She didn't know what kind of bewitching medicine she had given to the Emperor Ming.

"To be able to receive His Majesty's favor is naturally a great fortune for this imperial concubine. Who knows, there might be people of Dragon descent in the future. This imperial concubine's days of happiness will naturally be endless." On the other hand, Concubine Qin you, I heard that you also received favor from Huang Shan, why is your stomach so disappointing? There has been no news at all. Forget about the Emperor being disappointed, even I am worried for you, Concubine Qin! " Su Fei's words were becoming more and more unpleasant to hear.

Su Fei's words caused the Concubine Qin to blush. She would never believe that the Emperor Ming could spoil this woman for the rest of her life.

"What are you two talking about?" Imperial Consort Leng walked over slowly while supporting his waist with one hand, and the other hand gently caressed his stomach.

She originally wanted to relax in the Imperial Garden, but she heard the sounds of arguing. It turned out to be between Concubine Qin and Su Fei.

"We pay our respects to the Empress."

Although Su Fei was favoured, she did not dare to be arrogant in front of Imperial Consort Leng.

The Concubine Qin also came forward to pay her respects, saying, "Greetings, Imperial Concubine. I was just chatting about family matters with esteemed Empress Su."

"What family business? Let me know as well." Imperial Consort Leng asked.

Su Fei quickly smiled, "Reporting to Imperial Concubine, Big Sister Concubine Qin is currently chatting with me about the Emperor. Sister Qin hasn't seen the Emperor for a long time, so she's asking me about news about the Emperor."

"You …" When Concubine Qin saw Su Fei's sarcastic remarks, and how he couldn't tear his face away in front of Imperial Consort Leng, his eyes darkened in anger.

Imperial Consort Leng knew the character of Concubine Qin, and when she saw Su Fei's expression, she knew that the two of them were not on friendly terms.

"Alright, we're all sisters of our own. I hope that you two can get along in the future. Don't turn against the other party for a small matter and let others see it as a joke."

"Yes." Su Fei lowered her head and replied with a sincere expression.
