The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 228 Gloating over misfortune

Qin Liuse glanced at Concubine Xin Shu's belly. It was about the same month of pregnancy as Concubine Zhou's. Concubine Zhou didn't dare to run around, but Concubine Xin was wandering around the palace with her bulging belly.

I don’t even know how to do good deeds for my children.

But a dog will always eat shit, so Qin Liuse didn't take it to heart.

Qin Liuse smiled and said to the group of women, "Where the emperor wants to go is not something that my sister can decide. My feet are under the emperor's feet, so who can order the emperor around?"

These words are really infuriating. Now Qin Liuse has the potential to give up completely.

Since everyone wanted to accuse her of being a favorite concubine, she just made the charge.

After all, this is a title that others want but cannot get.

Sure enough, everyone looked unhappy after hearing what Qin Liuse said.

"But as a concubine, I naturally have to consider the emperor's interests in order to help him put the harem in order." Concubine Xin Shu said unwillingly.

What this means is that as a concubine, one has to persuade Emperor Yongjia to visit other concubines more often and not monopolize them all by oneself.

Qin Liuse thought to herself, Concubine Xin Shu really broke the female ring into pieces and ate it into her blood.

I don’t know if it’s because of pregnancy that her temper becomes weird. Concubine Xin Shu rarely said such things before.

In fact, although Concubine Xin Shu spoke less in the past, she did not necessarily think less. It was just that she had just returned to the palace at that time, so she restrained herself in her behavior.

Later, he was warned by Emperor Yongjia and became a coward.

Now that she is pregnant and has a high position, she feels that there are things she cannot say. Even if what she says offends others, these people dare not argue with her because of her pregnancy.

There is some truth to this.

The women in the harem are not precious, but the dragon seeds in their bellies are very precious.

Although many concubines hoped that others would never get pregnant in their entire lives, if they met one in public, they would still give her some courtesy when walking on the road.

I was afraid that there would be problems with my stomach and that it might be related to me.

However, Qin Liuse felt that Concubine Xin Shu, who appeared to be gentle and virtuous but was actually extremely cruel, would never lose her pregnancy because of a few words.

What's more, it's not like she hasn't given birth before, so it wouldn't be that difficult for her to have another one.

Therefore, Qin Liuse said, "Sister Shufei is right. The former queen also said something similar!"

These words were truly heartbreaking. Qin Liuse was mocking Concubine Xin Shu, who was not the queen but acted like one.

Persuading other concubines to think about the emperor and advising the emperor to treat everyone equally, isn't that the job of the queen, the legal wife?

This Concubine Xin Shu thinks too highly of herself.

They are both small, the only difference is the size of the small.

Qin Liuse looked at her with a smile, as if to say that as a concubine, she would naturally compete for favor and be jealous. Whoever could keep a man with her depended on her own ability.

I won’t try to be a fake virtuous wife like that!

Qin Liuse is really arrogant and refuses to admit defeat.

In fact, she hoped more than anyone else that Emperor Yongjia would trouble her less, but she naturally had no reason to suffer if others ridiculed her.

It’s hard to say whether Qin Liuse’s reaction really made Concubine Xin Shu angry.

"Sister, you really love to joke. No wonder the emperor likes you." Concubine Xin gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, but still maintained a fake smile on her face, as if she was just joking with Qin Liuse and didn't take it seriously at all.

At this moment, Qin Liuse was like a little fox with sharp little teeth showing and shining.

"The emperor is not a tyrant, he knows what he is doing." Empress Dowager Dong said with a smile, "If he comes tomorrow, I will say a few more words to him. It is not up to Qin Zhaoyi to decide where he should go, so how can she chase him away?"

It sounded like the Queen Mother Dong was speaking for Qin Liuse, but not quite.

In fact, although the Empress Dowager Dong would say a few words, her son had grown up and Emperor Yongjia was a man with his own ideas. On the surface, he was filial and respectful to her, but in fact, he knew his own situation very clearly in his heart.

Therefore, this kind of patriarchal style can only be displayed in front of these women.

For a while, everyone was talking about their own things, and when the time came, they all dispersed and returned to their own palaces.

Liu Yiyi walked in front, heading out of the Cining Palace. When she went around the screen wall, she didn't even look up and bumped into Emperor Yongjia who was paying his respects to the Cining Palace.

Qin Liuse was walking not far behind her, so although she didn't see Emperor Yongjia behind the screen wall, Liu Yiyi bumped into him and whispered, "Your Majesty~"

Qin Liuse heard it clearly.

There is a lot of energy in this sound, first it is displeasure, then surprise, and shyness.

Qin Liuse did not move for a moment. Everyone is curious and likes to eavesdrop. Maybe she is the same!

I heard Liu Yiyi complaining, "Your Majesty, you haven't come to see me for a long time. I miss you so much."

Qin Liuse got goosebumps after hearing these words.

Liu Yiyi originally followed the style of the little white rabbit, and her tone was deliberately soft and coquettish, which was enough to make anyone's bones soften.

Qin Liuse stretched out her ears and heard the voice of Emperor Yongjia, "Go back. I will visit you when I am free."

This is the Cining Palace. Liu Yiyi knew that someone else was about to come out, and it would be inappropriate to flirt with him in public for so long, so she glanced at Emperor Yongjia, saluted, and left.

--

On the way back, Qingqing said to Qin Liuse, "That Lady Liu is so pretentious. She was so strong when she was scolding the eunuch in the morning, but when she met the emperor, she turned into water."

Qin Liuse found it funny and teased her, "This girl is made of water."

Qingqing had served for a long time and was no longer a little girl who knew nothing. After hearing what Qin Liuse said, she blushed and stomped her feet, "Zhaoyi, what are you talking about?"

Qin Liuse looked innocent, "What did I say? It's your little head that's full of things all day long."

After being teased by Qin Liuse, Qingqing became even more anxious, and she laughed loudly, making Zijin and Aunt Mingyue beside her laugh.

Walking back to her Zhaoyang Palace, Zijin found a chance to whisper in Qin Liuse's ear, "Zhaoyi, just now outside the Cining Palace, I happened to hear two maids talking about something like paper money and incense."

Qin Liuse raised her eyebrows. The concubines in the harem were not allowed to worship privately, and Zijin was a cautious person, perhaps because he studied medicine, so he was more rigorous than others.

Now that I've said that, I naturally have something to say to her.

"What's wrong? What did you find?"

Zijin said as she was helping Qin Liuse take apart her hairpins and rings, "I was standing behind the corridor at that time, and the two of them didn't notice me. I listened for a while and felt something was wrong. When the show was over, I looked again and saw that those two people seemed to be Liu Baolin's men."

When they were in the hall, of course they couldn't let all the maids they brought with them go in, otherwise the hall would be too crowded.

Therefore, these maids usually found a place and waited outside.

Hearing Zijin say this, Qin Liuse nodded thoughtfully.

Zijin added, "From what I heard, I'm afraid they are going to use some kind of witchcraft to harm people, right?"

As for who he wanted to harm, the reason why Zijin could say this in front of Qin Liuse was of course because he suspected that someone wanted to harm his own Zhaoyi.

Qin Liuse was not too worried about this sorcery, "What's there to be afraid of if someone curses someone?"

If the curse could be carried out, the harem would be dark all the time. Because of those women, they would probably be cursing others all the time.

Qin Liuse was not afraid of any witchcraft or curse. In this world, the scary things were not ghosts and gods.

Ghosts and gods are not scary, human hearts are scary.

In this regard, Qin Liuse and Emperor Yongjia agreed that neither of them believed in ghosts or gods.

Maybe the two of them have a lot in common.

Qin Liuse was even more afraid that Liu Qiuniang was going to use some shady tricks to harm people, so she told Zijin, "Keep a close eye on the people in this yard, and tell me if there's anything unusual."

Zijin nodded.

And that night, Emperor Yongjia summoned Liu Yiyi to sleep with him.

The next day, he went to Concubine Xiao De's palace and met Liu Yiyi on the way. Liu Yiyi twisted her waist so much that Qin Liuse felt like his eyes were going blind.

Qin Huaijin led the maids over from the other side, and when they met Qin Liuse, she smiled and said, "The Queen Mother just mentioned it yesterday, and my sister is so filial that she immediately advised the emperor to visit other sisters more often!"

This is gloating.
