The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 171 Show off your power

I was just praying in my heart that those embarrassing things would happen to Qin Liuse.

By then she will be well behaved and won't dare to show off in the harem like this!

To be honest, Qin Liuse was not showing off at all, it was just that his glory could not be concealed.

Because her eyes were so red that they seemed to bleed, and there was no one in the harem to talk to, Zhao Yuzhu had a lot to say to Concubine Wen when she met her in the afternoon.

This time, there is no need for Lady Wen to provide deliberate guidance.

The two of them walked slowly in the palace. Zhao Yuzhu asked, "Lady Wen, we just passed by the palace road. Did you see the Thirteenth Prince?"

In the afternoon, Zhao Yuzhu came out of the Cining Palace and followed Concubine Wen. Unexpectedly, she ran into Qin Liuse and the Thirteenth Prince on the palace road.

Qin Liuse and the Thirteenth Prince came out of the Yuanyue Gate one after another, and in front of them was the imperial study of Emperor Yongjia.

Lady Wen nodded. Not knowing what Zhao Yuzhu meant by this, she said to him, "The Thirteenth Prince should have gone to the study in front to find the emperor, but he took the wrong road."

Qin Liuse had just returned from the study to deliver dessert.

Zhao Yuzhu shook Lady Wen's hand and said to him, "You saw the way the Thirteenth Prince looked at Qin Zhaoyi. Why is Qin Zhaoyi like a fox when she sees a man?"

When Lady Wen heard this, she burst out laughing.

On the one hand, it was because Zhao Yuzhu was so angry that she called Qin Liuse a vixen, and on the other hand, it was because she thought of the silly look of the Thirteenth Prince.

Among Emperor Yongjia's many brothers, there are reckless ones, handsome ones, smart ones, weird ones, and some like the Thirteenth Prince, who are not very smart.

It is said that when the Thirteenth Prince was a child, he had a high fever and his brain has not been working well since then.

At first glance, he looks no different from ordinary people.

But he speaks and acts in a confusing way. Sometimes he seems like a very normal person, but sometimes he always does things that make people laugh and cry.

However, the Thirteenth Prince was lucky as he was born into a royal family. Therefore, even though he was not very smart, he could still enjoy wealth and glory throughout his life.

Just now they passed by the Thirteenth Prince and greeted him. The Thirteenth Prince was very stylish, returned their greetings and called them to get up.

Lady Wen was respectful to him on the surface, but in her heart there was only ridicule and sarcasm.

It is very normal for a fool to take the wrong path and end up in the harem.

But it is not easy to show it in front of the Thirteenth Prince.

Hearing Zhao Yuzhu say this about Qin Liuse, Lady Wen did not intend to defend her at all, but said sarcastically, "Maybe she is somewhere we can't see, and who knows how she winked at the Thirteenth Prince?"

This Thirteenth Prince, besides being not very smart, has another characteristic, which is lust.

Although he is not very smart, he is a prince after all, and many people want to give their daughters to him.

Although the Thirteenth Prince did not hold any important position, he kept many women in his backyard, including an endless supply of singers and dancers.

His brain wasn't very good, but his interest in the stuff down there wasn't any less.

Speaking of which, Qin Liuse was also wronged. She just went to the imperial study to deliver something back, turned a corner, walked into the palace, and did not even meet the Thirteenth Prince.

There wasn't even a chance to say hello, let alone make eye contact, let alone what Lady Wen said about winking at the Thirteenth Prince.

It's simply like finding a pretext to accuse someone of a crime.

But the mouth is on other people's body, and Qin Liuse can't control what others say.

It was the Thirteenth Prince himself who was lustful and kept staring at Qin Liuse's back from behind, but Concubine Wen and Zhao Yuzhu interpreted it as Qin Liuse seducing the Thirteenth Prince on her own initiative.

"How come Qin Zhaoyi has such a good life? She was promised to the emperor. Why didn't the late emperor promise her to the Thirteenth Prince? She is so beautiful in the capital. She can also make the Thirteenth Prince change his mind." Zhao Yuzhu said this with viciousness.

For a moment, Zhao Yuzhu thought of the scene in the morning in the Cining Palace where Qin Liuse was the center of attention, and she continued to talk to Concubine Wen.

Since Zhao Yuzhu took the initiative, Lady Wen began to hold back a little.

She smiled calmly and "comforted" Zhao Yuzhu, "You are an outsider and don't understand these things. These are all matters of our harem. You are so young, don't keep listening to these things."

When Zhao Yuzhu heard Lady Wen's words that treated her as an outsider, she felt even more uncomfortable.

She was going to enter the palace, so why couldn't I discuss this with her? From now on, they could really call each other sisters!

However, no matter how much Zhao Yuzhu dared to think about this, she was not thick-skinned enough to say it out loud now.

"But once she sits there, the emperor will no longer be able to pay attention to anyone else." Zhao Yuzhu said gritting her teeth.

Although this was just her angry words and she originally just wanted to call Qin Liuse a coquettish woman, the essence was that Qin Liuse was too beautiful and Emperor Yongjia could not see anyone else.

Although it is an insult, if you change your angle, you can capture some messages of praise.

As the saying goes, the speaker may not mean it but the listener may take it seriously. Zhao Yuzhu's complaints sounded very harsh to Lady Wen.

What does it mean that Emperor Yongjia can’t see anyone else?

Isn't this a blatant insult to her, saying that people like her are overshadowed?

Lady Wen was so angry that she almost snorted air from her nose.

"What's the big deal about being pretty? It can't be eaten. Look at the previous queens and our current queen mother. When they were in the harem, they were not the most beautiful women in the harem. Since ancient times, beautiful women have had short lives. Who knows if she will be so lucky as to continue to enjoy the emperor's favor?"

It’s hard to say what Lady Wen said, it’s really quite poisonous.

However, both of them hated Qin Liuse, and even felt a little disgusted with her, so such vicious words sounded very pleasant to their ears.

Zhao Yuzhu said puzzledly, "I heard that she is just a wild girl from the countryside. Perhaps our emperor has never met such a person, so he likes her so much."

"After all, how could a girl who grew up in the capital be like her and use those seductive tricks?" Zhao Yuzhu attributed Qin Liuse's favor directly to her background.

Lady Wen smiled coldly and said, "But that doesn't matter. I have a good father."

Zhao Yuzhu curled her lips, thinking that maybe Qin Boyuan was indeed an important official in the dynasty now.

It is an official position that holds power, much more powerful than an ordinary civil servant like his father.

So that Qin Liuse, even if she was wearing ordinary clothes and jewelry, was much better looking than someone like him who came from a civil servant family.

Ordinary civil servants don't have much money, so the girls from civil servant families are often poor in terms of clothing, food and other expenses.

The little girl loved to compare with others, which made Zhao Yuzhu feel that her momentum seemed to have declined a bit.

But she was unwilling to be inferior to others.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuzhu sighed, "I don't know when the emperor's doting on her will end. There must be a first come, first served."

Zhao Yuzhu thought that sooner or later, someone would replace Qin Liuse's position.

But Lady Wen was unwilling to wait. She narrowed her eyes and deliberately guided Zhao Yuzhu, "Who knows? For example, the Empress Dowager of the Cining Palace was favored for nearly twenty years."

Zhao Yuzhu twisted her handkerchief and asked anxiously, "Then what should we do?"

She hasn't even entered the palace yet. If she waits for ten or twenty years, it will be too late.

"Even if she is really a fickle woman, there is no man in the harem who can make her suffer like this," said Zhao Yuzhu.

Lady Wen curled her lips, fanned herself with a smile, and said, "Isn't this far away yet close at hand? The Mid-Autumn Festival will be held in two days."

Lady Wen stopped talking abruptly. What she meant was that on the day of the Autumn Festival Banquet, many royal relatives and nobles would come to the palace, and there would naturally be many men at the dinner.

Zhao Yuzhu thought about it and realized that it was true. "But those people have no connection with Qin Zhaoyi. It's impossible that they fell in love at first sight."

Zhao Yuzhu also denied this possibility in her heart, because she was no stranger to the royal family and nobles of the current dynasty.

After her sister married the Fourth Prince, Zhao Yuzhu basically knew everyone.

But compared to the handsomeness of Emperor Yongjia, those people naturally pale in comparison.

Zhao Yuzhu also didn't believe that Qin Liuse would have anything to do with those people.

Lady Wen laughed and said, "Whether it succeeds or not, human help is always available."

What she said was somewhat mysterious, but in her heart she was wondering why the Zhao family would send Zhao Yuzhu, with a brain like hers, to the palace.

But it’s better this way. If she is too smart and useful, she will be a hindrance to Lady Wen.

Such clever and stupid people are actually easier to control.

The days in August were busy, but the time passed quickly and it was already the Chuseok Festival.

On the 15th day of August, the harem was extremely lively.

Two years ago, Emperor Yongjia had just ascended the throne and did not want to be extravagant, so he did not hold a large family banquet.

This year, it was the first time that Emperor Yongjia held a family banquet on August 15th after he registered.
