The Legitimate Daughter Empress - C191
Chapter 190 – Favorite
“Since I’m the Ninth Five Supremes, there’s nothing dirty that can hurt me, right?” Emperor Ming’s words rendered him speechless.
“This concubine was just in case. Does the emperor still remember the Empress Leng?
“She said some unclean words earlier, and now that there’s such a strange phenomenon, I can’t help but be worried for chenqie.” Imperial Consort Leng had no choice but to lower her head.
“Who told you to mention that woman in front of me?” Emperor Ming became even more furious when he heard Empress Leng.
He was starting to feel guilty about this woman, and his heart ached a little.
“Chenqie is only concerned about the Emperor’s dragon body.” The Imperial Consort Leng did everything she could to stop the Emperor Ming from seeing that woman, but she was still unable to stop her.
“Don’t say anymore.” The Emperor Ming said with an impatient tone.
After saying that, Emperor Ming stood up, he had just walked two steps when he stopped.
Imperial Consort Leng also followed, but she suddenly turned around.
“Love Consort, there’s no need for you to follow me. You’re someone who’s pregnant, it’s not easy to go to that kind of place.”
Imperial Consort Leng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. If she didn’t go, then maybe Concubine Qin would use some flowery words to deceive the Emperor for his sympathy. At that time, Concubine Qin would be able to escape death again.
“Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, you have to be careful. ” Imperial Consort Leng could only watch as Emperor Ming left.
At this moment, Qin Luofei was still troubled by the matter regarding the jade pendant. However, she heard the sound of the emperor’s arrival from outside her room.
Could it be that Emperor Ming came at this time because of this matter?
Qin Luofei bowed to Emperor Ming, but Emperor Ming treated her as transparent and brushed past her. Ever since he stepped into the Huishang Hall, he had been looking around, as if he was looking for something.
Qin Luofei saw him ignore her, so she stood up and followed behind him.
“Your majesty, what are you looking for?” Qin Luofei walked forward and followed him.
But Emperor Ming still did not say a word and continued to walk forward. He strolled around the entire Huishang Hall and suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“Baby crying? What’s going on with the Concubine Qin? ”
“Your majesty, chenqie has lived here for a long time and has never heard such a sound. I wonder if the rumors outside were wrong.” Qin Luofei naturally would not admit this fact.
“Is that so?” The Emperor Ming said as he walked into the room. He looked around. This house was rather simple and crude, and he couldn’t remember how long it had been since he had last been here.
“Exactly.” Qin Luofei personally poured fragrant tea for the Emperor Ming.
Emperor Ming looked at the tea set with a disdainful expression, then his gaze stopped at Qin Luo Fei.
“What kind of tea is this? It smells so bad.” The unhappy Emperor Ming was filled with disdain. It was not the first time Qin Luofei came into contact with this man, so she was well aware of his personality.
“Chenqie has been confined by the emperor for a few months, and now she can only simply maintain her food and clothing. These tea leaves are the best tea leaves in the Huishang Hall.” Qin Luofei pretended to be pitiful as she spoke.
Emperor Ming didn’t know why, but when he saw this woman, he would always think of her.
“Are you making me pity you? I will reward you with the tea. However, we want to see what exactly is going on with that infant Huishang Hall crying? ”
So this was Emperor Ming’s true goal.
“The Emperor is going to bed here tonight?” Qin Luofei looked surprised.
“What is it? “No?” Emperor Ming sized up Qin Luofei’s expression. If it was any other concubine who was happy that he had turned the tables, it would be too late, but Qin Luofei’s attitude was actually so abnormal.
“Chenqie doesn’t mean that, just that it was a bit sudden.” Qin Luofei held the handkerchief in her hand and lowered her head.
Ever since the Emperor Yun usurped the throne and left the palace, they did not spend the night together. Emperor Ming suddenly wanted to favor his tonight. She felt unexplainable unease in his heart.
“Prepare well, I will come over tonight.” Emperor Ming walked out of the room after he finished talking.
“Miss, this is great. The Emperor has finally thought of you.” Sunset Chrysanthemum was happy for Qin Luofei.
“Don’t be happy too early, I wonder what Emperor Ming is planning to do.” Qin Luofei was more worried that this man was suddenly too abnormal to favor her.
Xi Hua was a little stunned, and said: “Miss, you mean …” Is it that the Emperor doesn’t really want to favor you? ”
“I don’t know either. I’ll just take it one step at a time.” Qin Luofei sat down and took out the jade pendant again.
“Didn’t this jade pendant fall into the water?” Daffodil Daydream was very surprised to see this.
“I found it again. Alright, Flower, go prepare it! Since the Emperor said that he’s coming to the Huishang Hall tonight, there’s no reason for him not to. ” At this moment, Qin Luofei’s mood had already surged. In the face of the emperor’s favor tonight, she felt more at a loss than anything else.
In his previous life, the man that he loved deeply had betrayed him. If she could, she would never let him touch her body again.
Yet, she still gave it to him.
She had nothing to do during the day, and was busy preparing for tonight’s events.
It had been quite a while since Qin Luofei last visited Luo Ziyan during her visit to the Dancing Fragrance Palace.
Luo was both surprised and happy when he saw Qin Luofei’s arrival.
She had been sick all this time, so it was inconvenient for her to visit Qin Luofei.
Recently, he’d heard that a few things had happened over at her place and had been worrying about them ever since.
“Little sister, what’s the situation on your side?” “Rumor has it that I want to do you harm!” concubine Luo invited Qin Luofei into the inner room.
It had been a long time since he had spoken to her in whispers, and now he was reminiscing about the intimate days of the past.
“Not bad, but too many things have happened recently, so I can’t really handle it.” Qin Luofei sighed as she spoke.
Compared to this child’s crying, she was more worried about how she would spend the night with the Emperor Ming.
Luo Ziyan saw that Qin Luofei’s expression did not look good, and asked with deep concern: “I heard the palace maids say that an iron tree like flower blooming and a baby crying its heart out, is all of this true?”
“It’s all true, but I denied it directly at the Emperor Ming.”
“Deny? Since it’s true, you should know where the child’s cry came from, right? Or did you see something? ”
Qin Luofei recounted what she had heard to concubine Luo.
“I really did not expect such a strange thing to happen. What do you think of this? Do you think so? ”
Qin Luofei hesitated for a moment. She didn’t know if she should believe it or not, because the appearance of the jade pendant made her reject it.
“I don’t know either. What worries me the most is not these things.”
“Is there anything else that bothers you?”
“Emperor Ming is actually coming to Huishang Hall tonight to confirm if there is anything going on.” As he spoke, Qin Luofei lightly pursed his lips. Giving his body to a man he didn’t like made his heart feel a little uncomfortable. In their past life, they had a blood feud.
“You’re still unhappy even like this, your chance has come.” concubine Luo was happy that his good sister was kicked around by her.
“In my opinion, this is not a good thing. Ever since Princess Tranquil left, I was completely disappointed in him. ” Qin Luofei stood up, walked to the window and looked out.
“But in this palace, we have no choice but to rely on the Emperor’s favor in order to live on.” concubine Luo answered with a helpless expression.
“Of course I know.” Qin Luofei walked over from the window. This was the only place where she dared to speak to concubine Luo, if it was anyone else, she wouldn’t dare to say such words. In this imperial harem, she was probably the only one who couldn’t get over the fact that she had obtained the emperor’s favor.
“Then tonight, I will properly serve His Majesty. Even if I don’t like him, I must at least serve him well. Maybe it’s because you have a chance to be favored after serving her well this time. ”
“If possible, I hope that he will forget about me for the rest of his life. I just want to live a peaceful life.” Ever since they had Princess Tranquil, Qin Luofei had always had the thought of living a good life, but unfortunately, things went against her wishes.
“Since your life is no longer peaceful, then you must work even harder and enjoy it even more. “Promise me you’ll go back and properly support the Emperor. If there’s really someone who wants to frame you for all this, then you should make use of this opportunity to get pampered.”
Qin Luofei nodded, and with concubine Luo’s encouragement, she finally felt a little relieved. When he returned to Huishang Hall, he saw that Daihua had already prepared something to eat, and there was still some fragrance coming from her as she bathed in water. After eating, Qin Luofei laid down in the tub, enjoying the chrysanthemum bath for her.
“Miss, is this kind of strength good?” Daffodil Dayflower gently rubbed her shoulders.
“Hmm, just nice. The cry you heard that day was definitely a child’s cry? Or did it sound like something else? ”
“It sounded like a child’s cry, but she passed out later so I don’t know, but Miss’s words really do sound like a child’s cry sometimes.” Daihua said as she massaged her.
“Cat’s meow.” Qin Luofei was deep in thought.
“Well, miss, what happened to you? Could it be that you suspect that it wasn’t a child’s voice, but a cat’s cry? ”
“This isn’t impossible. Think about it, there aren’t any babies in this palace. Where did this baby cry come from?” Qin Luofei began to deduce.
“I’m not sure about that, but the emperor is coming. “Miss, I’ll help you dress up first.”
Qin Luofei sat in front of the dresser with her big eyes and small mouth. In the mirror, although she looked a little haggard, she still had some looks on her face.
Dusk chrysanthemum replaced it with a piece of red paper. Qin Luofei pursed her lips and looked at herself in the mirror. Her looks were becoming more and more similar to his from his previous life, could it be that the reason the Emperor Ming favored him was because of this? She watched absent-mindedly as the daisy smeared rouge on her face.
“Well, does Miss like it?” Daffodil Daydream happily said as she looked at the results of her hard work.
“Good.” Qin Luofei stood up and put on the gorgeous outer coat that the Emperor Ming had bestowed upon her when she was conferred the title of concubine. She couldn’t remember how long it had been since she had looked so serious.
Qin Luofei swayed in front of the mirror.
“Although it’s not the most beautiful one, it’s still passable.” Qin Luofei said to herself in the mirror.
“Miss, you are being modest. In the imperial harem, there are very few concubines who can compare to the current you. At the very least, you have a more refined air than before. ” Daffodil Daydream also felt the change in Qin Luofei.
