The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 391 Aunt Hua

This time, it took much longer than expected.

When Qin Liuse left, she would never have imagined that there would be so many changes in the palace after this trip, it was as if she were in a different world.

When she left the imperial city and went to Yuanyang Spring with the Empress Dowager, she and Emperor Yongjia were still having a quarrel.

Unexpectedly, this time, her bet was successful, and a complete success.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Qin Liuse never lost in every emotional game with Emperor Yongjia, and every time, she made a step forward and gained more.

When returning to the palace this time, Qin Liuse naturally had to pay his respects to the two Empress Dowagers whom he had not seen for a long time.

The Empress Dowager Cixi treated Qin Liuse as always, holding her hand and sitting beside her, chatting with her non-stop.

I asked her how she was doing these days and also asked about the Empress Dowager.

Qin Liuse naturally told them one by one.

The Empress Dowager shook her head and sighed, "The Emperor told me about your life story. You are indeed a miserable person. Fortunately, you met the Emperor. You two are in love with each other. I am happy for you."

Qin Liuse lowered her eyes somewhat embarrassedly, because she didn't know how to answer.

The Empress Dowager sighed and continued, "Your so-called sister, the former emperor gave her a gift and sent her to a temple to practice. But she actually wanted to escape by climbing over the wall. Little did she know that there was a valley on the other side of the wall. It was pitch black and she couldn't see clearly. She just climbed over and died. Alas."

Qin Liuse sneered in her heart, thinking that Qin Huaijin was just ending up like herself in her previous life. She at least enjoyed a lifetime of happiness, while the life she lived in her previous life was far inferior to hers, and it was really all her own fault.

Qin Liuse brought the little princess and the little prince with her. The Empress Dowager was also happy to see her grandchildren. However, after more than a month of not seeing them, the two of them had become much smarter and talked more. It was so interesting.

Zhu Cui and several maids around the Empress Dowager Cixi also loved to play with the little prince and princess. For a while, the house was bustling with activity, as if it was the New Year in advance. The Empress Dowager Cixi was simply grinning from ear to ear.

-

But when he went to the Queen Mother Dong, she was not so kind to Qin Liuse.

In the current situation, Qin Liuse knew that she had displeased the Empress Dowager Dong, and she certainly didn't want to offend her. But she had to go on this trip, and she didn't want Emperor Yongjia to be embarrassed in terms of personal relationships and reputation.

When Qin Liuse walked in, the Queen Mother Dong was sitting upright on the couch. When Qin Liuse led the two young masters in, the Queen Mother Dong narrowed her eyes slightly.

There was a hint of displeasure and jealousy in her eyes. After the trip to Yuanyang Spring, Qin Liuse not only did not become haggard, but instead seemed to be covered with a layer of rosy glow.

She is already a charming beauty, but after soaking in the hot soup for almost two months, she seems to have made everyone around her look dull.

Today was Qin Liuse's first day back in the palace to visit relatives, so she was naturally dressed appropriately, wearing a pastel pink peony patterned jacket vest and a light bean green skirt with gold thread underneath.

The combination of light pink and light green is tender and pretty, and looks lively in winter, attracting everyone's attention.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother!" Qin Liuse walked up to the Queen Mother Dong and saluted, and then taught the two children how to salute.

The Empress Dowager Dong finally forced a smile and said, "Good boy, my dear grandson!"

The little prince and princess seemed to like the Empress Dowager Cixi more, and became much more well-behaved after coming here.

The Queen Mother Dong offered him a seat, and Qin Liuse sat down at the position below her. He knew in his heart that the Queen Mother Dong was about to start a lecture.

As expected, as soon as they sat down, without saying a few words, the Empress Dowager Dong acted like an elder.

He talked incessantly and earnestly to Qin Liuse about a series of decisions made recently by Emperor Yongjia.

"The emperor, for your sake, has even made all the civil and military officials lose face this time."

This is blaming the whole thing on Qin Liuse.

For some reason, now looking at the Empress Dowager Dong and listening to her speak, Qin Liuse always felt that the marks between the Empress Dowager Dong's brows were too deep, and her smile was a little sharp, without the kindness of an old elder at all.

I don’t know if it’s because she’s used to being mean. Appearance reflects the heart. She is pretty, and looks young if she takes good care of herself, but she has a mean face after all.

Qin Liuse heard her blaming him like this, but he did not belittle himself. Instead, he smiled calmly and said, "The emperor is the ruler of a country. He naturally has his own plans for making decisions. There is no reason for him to consider the faces of the civil and military officials in the court..."

Qin Liuse pretended to be serious while saying, "I have advised the emperor about this matter, but this time the emperor really favors me, and I can't change my mind."

Qin Liuse's words almost angered the Queen Mother Dong to death.

The Queen Mother Dong said a few more words to her, but this time it seemed like she had someone backing her up. No matter what she said, Qin Liuse didn't show any sense of guilt, which made the Queen Mother Dong very angry.

Naturally, they parted on bad terms, but everyone still had smiles on their faces.

At night, Emperor Yongjia went to Zhaoyang Palace for dinner and naturally asked Qin Liuse about it.

"When you came back today and went to see the two mothers, did they give you any trouble?"

Tonight, Qin Liuse's own small kitchen cooked the meal. She scooped a bowl of sweet crucian carp soup, handed it to Emperor Yongjia, and said with a smile, "The Empress Dowager of Yongshou Palace didn't say anything, but the one on the other side said a few words to me, but it's nothing serious, I didn't take it to heart."

The Empress Dowager Dong loved to preach and show off. Emperor Yongjia was not surprised. He drank a bowl of fish soup, then picked up his chopsticks to eat. He raised his eyebrows and said, "The Ministry of Rites has chosen a few dates. After this year, the ceremony of conferring the empress should be put on the agenda."

Qin Liuse paused while holding the chopsticks. "So fast?"

"Is this fast? I think it's still a little slow. Aren't you tired of sitting on the throne of the Imperial Concubine? How long has it been?"

Qin Liuse curled her lips. It must have been quite a long time. Who could have thought that there would be so many twists and turns in the process.

-

Now Emperor Yongjia only had her, so the two of them naturally lived like an ordinary couple.

Although Emperor Yongjia had Chengqian Palace, he used Zhaoyang Palace as his residence in the harem.

However, Chengqian Palace would hold her hand and live with her from time to time, because Zhaoyang Palace had two children and sometimes they were noisy, making it inconvenient to do many things.

Therefore, every time Qin Liuse went back to Chengqian Palace, he felt like he was doing something shameful without telling his two children.

Now that the two children are growing older, they are becoming more and more attached to Qin Liuse, and they always want to find their mother.

So much so that Qin Liuse sometimes had to leave quietly, like a thief.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here and is waiting for you outside." Zi Jin came in and leaned over to whisper in Qin Liuse's ear.

Qin Liuse nodded, feeling somewhat helpless. He was clearly her husband, but how could the two of them look so much like... cheating...

When Zijin came over, the clever little princess asked pointedly, "Mom, where are you going?"

Qin Liuse fed the little princess a piece of yam cake and a sip of milk, and said, "Mother has to take a bath."

The little prince, who was jumping around, heard this and came over to pull Qin Liuse's clothes, wondering, "Mom, wash it!"

He noticed that I would change my clothes after washing!

Qin Liuse blushed. She had no idea that the child would be so clever at such a young age. She immediately said shamelessly, "It's all because of you. You ate my mother. I'm going to change into clean clothes."

Although children are smart, they are easily deceived. After hearing what Qin Liuse said, they believed it to be true.

Qin Liuse put on a cloak and hurried out of Zhaoyang Palace, and saw Emperor Yongjia standing at the steps waiting for her.

Because of the eunuch behind him, who was holding a lantern in his hand, the white robe that Emperor Yongjia wore was embroidered with gold thread, and the candlelight from behind cast a circle of golden light.

Qin Liuse felt her bones ache when she saw Emperor Yongjia, but she still smiled softly and put her hand in his.

As it turned out, Qin Liuse's premonition was correct.

……

After the incident, she lay lazily in the arms of Emperor Yongjia, letting him rub her almost broken waist.

At first, when Emperor Yongjia served her, he always had trouble controlling the strength, but now, Qin Liuse really enjoyed the force of his kneading.

As he rubbed her, Qin Liuse felt like a kitten. She felt at ease smelling his unique scent. In a daze, she leaned against him unconsciously, rubbed against him, and soon fell asleep with her eyes closed.

Emperor Yongjia loved to see her falling asleep in his arms. He raised his hand to touch the tip of her nose, and then stroked her straight black eyelashes. After a long while, he closed his eyes and fell asleep in his arms.

……

In Qin Liuse's mind, he clearly knew that he had avenged the death of the Qin family in his previous life, and the stone in his heart was put down.

But somehow, when I closed my eyes that day, I saw the harem from my previous life again.

But they were not the harem of Emperor Yongjia, but the harem of the previous emperor.

Because of this, she saw the Empress Dowager Dong, who was in her prime, and also the Empress Dowager Xi, who had fallen out of favor, dressed simply, and had no valuable hairpins or jewelry in her hair.

When she was young, the Empress Dowager Dong was not very beautiful, but she knew how to deal with people. She had an affair with someone before she served the late emperor. Therefore, her figure and expression were much more charming than those of her peers, and she knew how to seduce people.

She was also a very scheming person. The previous queen had just passed away at that time, and she had just entered the palace, but she took control of the previous emperor and became the queen.

Standing next to the late emperor who was over fifty years old, there was indeed a gap of several generations.

After the last dream, Qin Liuse was not so surprised this time. She just didn’t know why she dreamed of the harem twenty years ago. At that time, she didn’t even know whether she was born or not.

Qin Liuse couldn't see herself, but she could move around freely in the harem. She wandered around in front of the Queen Mother Dong, and as no one noticed her, she felt very comfortable. She even wished she had a handful of melon seeds in her hand to eat while walking.

Unfortunately it was just a dream. She was just a soul and couldn't eat anything.

She wandered aimlessly in the harem, but unexpectedly, in a remote corner, she saw Emperor Yongjia, the ninth prince at that time, who had just reached kindergarten age.

The clothes of the princes were all regulated. The ninth prince wore a sky blue robe embroidered with Qilin patterns.

At first, they were naturally gorgeous, but they were obviously worn out from being washed for a long time, and some places were worn and whitened. It was obvious that the biological mother was of low status and did not have so many clothes to change.

Qin Liuse recognized this as the Ninth Prince almost at first sight.

I don’t know why, but the Ninth Prince at this time was obviously very different from the later generations.

But she still recognized it at a glance.

The Ninth Prince was accompanied by an aunt who was not too young. After Qin Liuse entered the Ninth Prince's Mansion in the later life, she had never seen this old woman and thought that she must be the Ninth Prince's wet nurse.

When she walked over, she heard the Ninth Prince call her "Aunt Hua". She was indeed his wet nurse.
