The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 146 Not Missing One

Qingcao paused while packing her things. She was there last night too and actually didn't quite understand Liu Yiyi's attitude, but she kept her mouth shut and wouldn't say anything behind her back.

Qingzhu didn't like Liu Yiyi, so she kept talking to herself, "Does she want the emperor to pity her? But I've never seen any concubine as shameless as her."

Qingcao thought to herself, are you begging for mercy just because you want the emperor to have mercy on you?

He should have thought about it, but I didn't see the emperor comfort Liu Yiyi the way he comforted Qin Zhaoyi.

Last night, when she was serving outside, she also heard Liu Yiyi sobbing unyieldingly, as if the emperor had bullied her to death.

The emperor stopped moving, but he did not use kind words to comfort her as he did to Qin Zhaoyi.

However, it seems that Qin Zhaoyi would not cry like Liu Yiyi.

Last night, Qingcao thought, the emperor just waited for her to stop before continuing.

Perhaps it was this pause that made Liu Yiyi think that the emperor was worried about her, so he kept crying and yelling. Whenever the emperor got excited, she would start crying again.

Cherish?

Qingcao thought that it shouldn't be the case, because like other concubines who went to bed with the emperor, these personal maids would wait and serve outside, and there was also the female historian in charge of Tongshi who was outside to record the situation.

As for Qin Zhaoyi, she was the first one. She served the emperor, but the emperor never asked anyone to wait outside. He always sent them away.

This is rare.

Just like an ordinary couple.

The purpose of Tongshiji was actually to check whether the pregnancy of the concubines was accurate and whether it had confused the dragon seed.

All for the purpose of continuing the offspring.

Emperor Yongjia felt sorry for Qin Liuse, but Qingzhu felt sorry for Emperor Yongjia, muttering to herself, "Why is she crying? If she doesn't want to sleep with you, then don't sleep with me. She has to pretend to be good in bed. Tell her to learn more from her old aunt."

What she meant was that every new concubine had to be taught by her old aunt about bed affairs before she could serve the emperor, but Liu Yiyi seemed to have never learned anything.

Qingcao couldn't help but curl her lips, thinking that Qingzhu was still clamoring for this Liu Yiyi to snatch Qin Zhaoyi's favor yesterday, and now she has so many opinions after she went to bed with him.

After Qingzhu finished arranging Liu Yiyi's story, she began to talk again, "The emperor hasn't been to Shuyuexuan for just one day, but he has already sent someone to deliver something. He is really a troublemaker."

Qingzhu was somewhat gloating, "It will take so long to recover from the injury, and she won't be able to serve the emperor. This will let her experience what it feels like to be out of favor."

Qingcao was startled when she heard this, and quickly reminded him in a sullen voice, "Even the Queen Mother wouldn't say this easily, so be careful or you might cause trouble."

Qingzhu stuck out her tongue, not seeming to care at all.

-

As for Shu Yuexuan, Qin Liuse hadn't stepped out of the room for two days and already felt like she was going to get moldy.

On weekdays, I didn’t feel the preciousness of going out every day. But now that I can’t go out, I realize how wonderful those days are.

I tossed and turned in bed, feeling like I was going to collapse.

So, Qin Liuse asked Qingqing to help her get up. She put on one shoe, and staggered and jumped. Two maids helped her to sit on the beauty couch by the window.

Aunt Mingyue looked at the mischievous look of her mistress and shook her head, "Zhaoyi, the emperor has ordered that Zhaoyi be taken good care of and not be moved easily."

Qin Liuse took the snack in her hand, put it in her mouth, looked at the blue sky outside the window, turned her head and stuck out her tongue at Aunt Mingyue, "The emperor is not here, no one will know."

She just comes here to get some fresh air. She lies down all day long. She must be so tired.

Qin Liuse always spoke lazily to those who were familiar and close to her, and also spoke in a soft and coquettish tone, "You are really making a fuss over nothing. I just sprained my ankle and it's swollen, not lame or broken. You guys, you are so old, but you treat me like a child."

Aunt Mingyue's heart softened when she heard the soft tone of her master's voice. Although they were of similar age, she felt a sense of affection for the younger one.

She shook her head, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Qin Liuse, and gave Qin Liuse some snacks.

It’s almost July, the sky is clear and bright, the sunlight is dazzling, and the sky is so blue that it seems like water is dripping out.

There are also birds flying around.

Qin Liuse lay in front of the window, staring at the birds outside, took a deep breath of the somewhat warm air outside, and felt much better.

As they were talking, Zijin came back after serving the sweet soup.

Aunt Mingyue calculated the time and felt that Zijin's trip took longer than usual, so she asked, "Why are you late today? Was there something that delayed you?"

Qin Liuse looked at her and found that Zijin looked unhappy, so she asked her, "What happened?"

Zijin sighed and said, "Just now outside Chengqian Palace, I ran into Xiaojiu."

Afraid that Qin Liuse hadn't remembered it, Zijin explained it again, saying, "She was the third-class maid who worked watering plants in our Shuyue Pavilion before our Zhaoyi went to bed with him."

At that time, Emperor Yongjia had not yet summoned Qin Liuse to his palace. He had no favor or favour towards her, so Qin Liuse's life was very difficult, and the people serving him had an even harder time.

Qin Liuse's eyes were blinking, and she recalled the days when she had just been reborn. She lay on this bed all day, avoiding Qin Huaijin. In the blink of an eye, it seemed like a lifetime ago.

She knew that during that period, many people under her had found new masters, and Xiaojiu must be one of them.

Times have changed. Thinking about it now, Qin Liuse no longer has any opinions about those who left her. They are all people trying to make a living, and she can understand if they go somewhere else when they can't make a living.

Therefore, she realized even more how precious the few people who stayed behind to serve her were.

Qin Liuse smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zijin said, "Xiaojiu went to Chengqian Palace to serve, but she was doing the lowest job of sweeping and cleaning."

In an ordinary palace, maids could do delicate work as servants, but Chengqian Palace was a large place, and it was the emperor's territory, so there was no shortage of people to serve. Therefore, maids of third or fourth rank in other places could only do the lowest-level work there.

Cleaning is hard work. Xiaojiu gets up early and goes to bed late. Although he is young, he looks much more weathered than Zijin now.

"She stopped me outside and tried to get close to me for a while, saying how much she regretted being young and ignorant and following someone else."

Now, no one knows where the person who left with her is making a living in the palace. They have been separated in the end.

After leaving Shu Yuexuan, everyone went their separate ways. Where they wanted to go was not something they could decide for themselves. It was already great that they were not assigned to the laundry department to wash clothes.

Qin Liuse didn't say much after hearing this.

When she was down and out, there was no shortage of people who would take advantage of her. Now that she is in the emperor's favor, there is no shortage of people who would show their loyalty to her.

Xiaojiu said all this simply because he wanted to come back and serve.
