Difficult to be a Concubine - C318 Chalcedony (VII)
“Your servant deserves to die. Your majesty, those are Baolin Mu, Baolin Zhang and the beautiful lady.”
Su Ruirui’s probing gaze fell on him, and only after a long while did he ask him to stand up, and in the end, didn’t say anything.
He turned around and left.
Fan Yingde immediately followed and ran off, while Mu Fengchai who was sitting on the swing had a suspicious look in her eyes, just now, did she see someone disappearing in a flash?
When she looked again, all that was left was the flowers and plants swaying wildly in the sunlight.
However, what she didn’t know was that after Su Ruirui returned to the imperial study, he couldn’t calm down any longer and gave his decree.
In the end, he threw the paper away and asked Fan Yingde who was waiting on the side: “That surnamed Mu from before?”
“Yes, sister of Supervisor Mu, cousin of Mme Marquis Wen and Marquis Wen Chang!”
Yang Zixuan was the Wen Bo Hou, so his wife Mu Rousang was naturally conferred the title of Mme Marquis Wen. Marquis Wen Chang was the son-in-law of Su Ruirui’s aunt, Princess Huaiqing, which was his cousin husband — Mu Jinzhi!
Su Ruirui closed his eyes, leaned back in the dragon throne, and dozed off. Only after a long while did he open his eyes.
“Tonight, continue to be marked with the s of Yue Lan.” Sometimes, being pampered wasn’t necessarily a good thing, but being roasted over a fire.
Fan Yingde was slightly stunned for a moment before immediately recovering his composure and replying.
He turned around to do this task, and only sighed in his heart. In the end, that person had become the heart of his family’s master, and he would probably never be able to forget it in his entire life.
Mu Fengchai did her best calmly, but in the eyes of an outsider, she became a “unorthodox”!
Of course, those new and old concubines who entered the palace would definitely be happy after the event.
Mu Fengchai remained unmoved. Every day, she would be exposed to the sun, cooked, and had fun. The emperor had never played her cards before, so she did not mind.
In the end, many beauties of the harem gave her a unanimous comment: Heartless!
Actually, as long as they did not provoke such a person, they would definitely be able to live a long life in the harem.
Mu Fengchai’s days passed by extremely happily. Other than changing places and not being able to see her relatives, it was no different from when she was in her pavilion. She used to shop around the palace when she had nothing else to do, and after walking for a day, she would not walk too far.
Other than seeing the scenery and training his body from time to time, he had also met the famous noble Lan from time to time after entering the palace. Oh, I heard that she had recently jumped three levels consecutively and passed many beauties, becoming a beacon.
Every time he met Li Yulan, he would always be troubled by this villain. Recently, Mu Fengchai had been out a little less, so avoiding the Lan beacon felt great.
This kind of life was very comfortable for Mu Fengchai. It was so comfortable that she would often move some beauties to the laurel trees in the courtyard to bask them in the sun.
That afternoon, she was napping on the beauty under the tree when Zhang Shuya suddenly stumbled in: “Little Sister Feng Chai, Little Sister Feng Chai, something big has happened.”
Mu Fengchai, who was originally about to fall asleep due to the sleepiness, suddenly opened her eyes. For a moment, Zhang Shuya thought that she had seen a fake Mu Fengchai.
At this time, Mu Fengchai was like a lazy kitten, yawning and stretching.
“Aiyaya, big sister Jiu Ya, what are you panicking for? “If something big happens again, it won’t be us unfavoured shrimps’ turn.”
Zhang Shuya who was rushing over heard and braked, standing there stunned: That’s right, what is she so anxious about?
It wasn’t her fault!
“But, big sister Shuya, what happened?” Mu Fengchai supported her cheeks with her hands and lazily leaned on the beauty’s body. If Su Ruirui was here, he would definitely cry out: Xiao Sangsang, you came to the palace?
Her expression, was exactly the same as Mu Rousang!
Mu Fengchai had been teaching Mu Fengchai for a few years, so her little movements and habits were extremely similar to Mu Rousang’s.
Especially after entering the palace!
Xia Ye previously didn’t understand, so he had quietly asked her: “This young lady is a young lady, why do you have to learn all of my grandaunt’s tricks?”
Mu Fengchai gave a cold laugh, and said: “By your side, only by fighting for a favor can you get enough benefits.”
She had only wanted to imitate the indolence and elegance that emanated from her cousin’s bones.
However, after today, she had been grinding down some small tricks into her bone marrow.
Furthermore, after Zhang Shuya stood there gasping for air, she walked over to Mu Fengchai with light footsteps: “That beacon Lan, the one who often makes things difficult for us, was just found drowned in the lake.”
“What!” Mu Fengchai stared at Zhang Shuya in shock as she held onto a pearl.
“Why am I coaxing you?”
Zhang Shuya got close to her again, and looked around nervously, and said softly: “I heard that last night, Zhang Shuya mentioned your cousin in front of the Emperor, which angered the Emperor, and from time to time, he was sent back to his residence. This morning, I just found out that beacon Lan had been reduced to picking up girls, and it was also because Idle Consort heard the news that they had rushed over to clear the palace to beg for help.
“Nonsense, my older cousin is just the current emperor’s savior. Li Yulan’s brain is filled with grass.” Mu Fengchai shot a glance at her, and immediately thought of using Zhang Shuya’s mouth to wash her cousin clean.
Of course, if she operated it well, she could also use this as a springboard to reach the Clear Sky Peak.
“Savior?” Zhang Shuya was so shocked that she forgot to pretend that she was worried.
“Hm!” That’s right, he’s indeed our savior. There’s nothing wrong with him! ” Mu Fengchai tilted her head slightly, and smiled: “That was back in my hometown, when I was in the small mountain village, I found out about it later. It turned out that the Your Majesty, which was attacked by the combined forces of Prince Zi Jin and the crown prince, and escaped to the back mountain of the small mountain village, was coincidentally close to my cousin’s home, and was saved and brought back by her servants. It also just so happened that my uncle got a good medicine some time ago, and was able to save the Your Majesty!”
“So that’s what happened?” Zhang Shuya asked again: “Isn’t that medicine too magical?”
Mu Fengchai spread out his hands and laughed helplessly: “Of course, no one would believe me if I told him about it, but it just happened to be the truth. My uncle passed away early, and no one knows where he got his hands on such medicine, maybe because when he was still alive, he did something good by accident and saved some people in the martial world, and that’s why he got such a Gold Life Pill.”
Upon hearing that it was related to the martial artists, Zhang Shuya knew that she could not get any answers out of them.
In her mind, those were the heroes who came and went as they pleased!
“In the end, it’s fated to be the real dragon. Perhaps, it was arranged by the Buddha, using my cousin’s hand to deliver the medicine.” Mu Fengchai had a keen sense, this matter was extremely mysterious, so naturally he could not arouse suspicion. He suspected that his uncle and the martial artists had colluded.
When Zhang Shuya heard this, he clasped her hands together and immediately began chanting the words Amitabha, and was able to believe Mu Fengchai’s words.
“However, how did the Lan beacon die?” Seeing that Zhang Shuya believed it, Mu Fengchai calmed down.
As long as anyone believed what she said, there would be even more people who would believe it. Moreover, there was even the word ‘True Dragon’ involved. Even the empress dowager would definitely be very happy to hear this rumor.
Zhang Shuya whispered in her ear: “I don’t know, this morning, when her palace maids went to her room, she was still in bed, and even if her rank was lowered she wouldn’t have been too worried, to the point of seeking death out of anger. If you ask me, it must be because she was too arrogant before, offending someone she shouldn’t have, that she…”
She did not continue the conversation, and only looked at Mu Fengchai meaningfully.
Mu Fengchai lowered her eyelids slightly, hiding the complexity in her eyes.
At the same time, it also sounded an alarm bell. In the Imperial Palace, if one was not careful, it was truly possible for one to die.
Was Li Yulan jumping into the lake because of him, or was she pushed into the lake, or was she killed and thrown into the lake?
All in all, this was an inconclusive case.
This was because at the time of the incident, the palace masters, maids, and eunuchs were all in their own places, doing whatever they were supposed to do.
Idle Consort had actually caused a ruckus in front of the current emperor before, but because of what Mu Fengchai had said, many people did not believe whatever she said because she said Su Ruirui didn’t want people to know that he and Mu Rousang were at fault.
Everyone said that the Mme Marquis Wen was a kindhearted person and was envious that the Mme Marquis Wen was a lucky man. How could he coincidentally save the new emperor, who was still the prince at that time?
Li Yulan’s case had only revealed a few small shrimps in the end.
Mu Fengchai had discussed this matter with Aunt Zhong in private. Aunt Zhong had told her that the few small shrimps must have offended the people who had great origins, or the nobles who stood behind them were pinching each other, and the loser was pushed out as the scapegoat.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the beginning of October.
Less than half a month had passed since the incident with Li Yulan. Recently, Mu Fengchai had been running around the Imperial Garden even more diligently, and in the morning, she would pick up some flowers and dew. In the daytime, she would either find a place to bask in the sun and be a girl.
On this day, Mu Fengchai became a little lazy, and begged Aunt Zhong: “Aunt, please let me sleep a little longer. These days, I listened to you and went to the imperial garden all day long, and you didn’t know that those beauties called me an idiot.”
“Baolin, it has been two months since you last chose a girl for eight months. Those who deserved to be changed have also changed hands, and those who deserved to be pampered after entering the palace have also been pampered. Now, the palace has calmed down, and Baolin has been quiet for a long time.
Aunt Zhong had told her earlier that people in the palace would always watch the wind and those who were favored at the start would be envied, framed, or suppressed.
In short, quite a few of the beauties who had been chosen to enter the palace together had died, and quite a few had been given away by the current emperor. The rest were either unfavoured or already favored.
As for those higher ups, they were currently hating the newly-favored ones and couldn’t wait for someone to stand out and share their spoils.
However, he had to grasp it well. He couldn’t argue with her and he couldn’t be unfavoured.
