A Promotion Guide in the Harem - C216

Xiao Die saw Han Liu’s arrogance and wanted to flare up, but she remembered Leng Qiyue’s words and swallowed it in. She smiled and said, “This servant won’t disturb your rest, this servant will take his leave.”

Han Liu smiled hypocritically. “Good. Bring your master over. Come often if you have time.”

Xiao Die did not say anything else and turned to leave. Her master was the imperial concubine. She was just a lowly concubine, yet she dared to talk big. If you really don’t care about what you say, people who betray their masters will not end up well anyways, hmph.

After hearing the report, Leng Qiyue waved her hand and said, “Get Little Chun Zi to call a few people and send that set of white jade screens to the Mascot Palace.”

Xiao Die was anxious and said, “Esteemed wangfei, you are the imperial concubine. Why are you holding yourself back?”

Leng Qiyue sighed, “At a time like this, if I am pregnant, what can I do even if I imprison His Majesty within my Moon Palace? I only want to have the baby safely now, and I don’t want to care about the rest. ”

“Understood, Empress.” Xiao Die reluctantly went to call for help. A total of six white jade screens was not something that two or three people could handle.

On the second day, Han Liu sent gifts back to all the palaces. Leng Qiyue found a golden pouch with an air of hollowness and a red pearl emitting an exotic fragrance.

Xiao Die said, “Esteemed wangfei, this scented sachet is quite exquisite, it also smells good.”

Leng Qiyue nodded. “That’s right, that’s right. I just don’t know what this bead is.”

I’ve heard that there is a tree in the South China Sea that blossoms for a hundred years and bears fruit for a thousand years. The fruit’s red core will emit a strange fragrance that will attract the phoenixes to eat it.” It’s called the Devouring Phoenix. It’s very precious.

Leng Qiyue asked in surprise, “Phoenix egg? It is clearly a fruit from a tree, how could it be a phoenix’s egg? ”

Die giggled and said, “It’s the one that ate and ate, not the egg!”

“Oh, so it’s like that. Hur Hur. It’s quite interesting.” Leng Qiyue smiled.

The little butterfly suddenly frowned and said, “This ingesting of the phoenix is extremely precious. Normally, the phoenix would snatch up all the fruits when the fruits are ripe, so very few people would be able to get it. Furthermore, everything with the phoenix’s name was bestowed to the empress and empress dowager, so how could Han Yunxi possibly … ”

Leng Qiyue interrupted her, “Little Butterfly, don’t say anymore. The wall has ears.”

Xiao Die stuck out her tongue, not daring to make a sound.

Little Shun Zi came in with a gold-plated invitation. “Esteemed Empress, Esteemed Empress Xu sent someone to deliver the invitation. They said that the wine would be served in the imperial garden in three days’ time, and that you were invited to drink.”

Xiao Die frowned and said, “Isn’t there a rule that prevents concubines from setting up wine and feasts without permission?”

Little Shun Zi’s expression was rather unsightly as he said, “It’s the emperor’s permission.”

“Oh, got it. You guys go back to work.” Leng Qiyue said indifferently.

Xiao Die was furious and said, “Empress, she is clearly showing her power. Are you sure you want to go?”

Leng Qiyue calmly replied, “Regardless of whether she’s showing off or showing goodwill, if we don’t go, how would she understand her intentions?”

Xiao Die said, “Is the Empress not afraid that she will harm you?”

Leng Qiyue shook her head. “I don’t think so. Han Liu followed me for so long, but I didn’t see any background to her either. For a time, I was overwhelmed by her arrogance. So, I think this banquet was her show of goodwill to the other consorts. ”

Xiao Die thought for a moment and said, “Your Highness said so, this servant understands. Han Liu indeed doesn’t have any background, if she wants to stabilize her position in the palace now, she must have a backer. Empress, do you think she will use you as a backer? If so, will you promise her? ”

Leng Qiyue shook her head. “Actually, I don’t know either. My heart is in a mess. Even though I also really want to rope her in, I just can’t pass the test in my heart. As long as I see her, I will think of her betrayal. ”

Xiao Die sighed. If it were not for the fact that she was afraid of causing trouble for the Empress, she would have rushed to Han Liu and scolded her.

Due to the fast delivery, Leng Qiyue’s body was quite tired, and she rarely went out to walk.

Three days later, when she arrived at the imperial garden, Consort Rong, Dian Fei, and a few other nobles were already sitting there. Han Liu was the protagonist today. She was still dressed in red, and the beauty of her first rain made people jealous.

Everyone stood up and bowed to Leng Qiyue. Leng Qiyue said, “Escort. As long as you’re at ease.”

After everyone had taken their seats, Han Liu raised her glass and said, “The Japanese palace is hosting a banquet to meet up with everyone. If you offend anyone in the future, please forgive me.”

Leng Qiyue frowned. What did this mean? Even Concubine Rong didn’t dare to call me this in front of her! She looked at Rong Fei, who had a pale face and red eyes as if she had been crying.

Han Liu drank a cup of wine before continuing, “Your Majesty loves me. Today, the Japanese palace will receive the phoenix talisman. In the future, I will be the one to decide all of the palace’s matters.” After saying that, she turned her gaze to Leng Qiyue. Even though the esteemed imperial concubine’s position is above mine, if you violate the palace rules and do anything out of bounds, don’t blame me for disregarding our sisterhood. ”

Leng Qiyue’s heart fell to the bottom of the valley. Dongfang Haotian had actually taken away Consort Rong’s phoenix talisman and given it to Han Liu. Just what was so attractive about this woman that came from a servant girl?

“Thank you, little sister, for proposing to the emperor that I go to the side courtyard to recuperate. I heard that the hot spring over there can remove scars, so I’m really going to soak in the hot spring.”

Han Liu smiled. “Sister and His Majesty have a very deep relationship. I’m so jealous. His Majesty cared for this sister who was injured, so he gave me these menial tasks.”

Rong Fei saw that she had flattered her and felt better, so she took advantage of the situation, “Little sister, big sister’s body is not feeling well. Today I’ve ruined my little sister’s mood. When my injuries are better, I’ll come and apologize.”

Han Liu smiled faintly and spoke to the court ladies. “Use my shoulder to send Esteemed Empress Rong back to the palace to rest.”

Rong Fei stood up and left. Just as she was about to leave, she sneaked a glance at Leng Qiyue, warning her with her eyes that she had to be like him and not act rashly.

How could Leng Qiyue not understand what Rong Fei meant? She nodded, and Rong Fei smiled in satisfaction.

The actions of Rong Fei and Leng Qiyue were completely captured by Han Liu. She smiled coldly and turned her gaze to Die Fei, “Big sister Butterfly, are these dishes suitable for eating?”

Die Fei was drinking wine, and her sudden question scared her so much that she spat out wine. Fortunately, her hands were quick enough to cover it with her sleeves.

Han Liu’s eyes curved as she smiled. “Elder sister, don’t be so excited. The emperor has been accompanying me in my palace these past few days and has also mentioned the matter of elder sister.” “For example, when Big Sister just entered the palace, you beat a palace maid to death, and then bribed an assassin to assassinate Big Sister Rong …”

With every word Han Liu said, Die Fei’s face darkened. She glared angrily at Han Liu. Her temper had reached a critical point and was about to erupt!
