The Legitimate Daughter Empress - C231
Chapter 230 – Envy Eyes
Their figures frequently appeared in the imperial harem, attracting quite a few looks of jealousy and envy. But Qin Luofei was not the least bit afraid. The emperor made an example out of everyone by using the Concubine Qin as an example. Now, no matter who it was, they would still be respectful to her.
After returning from the Cool Hall, Qin Luofei did not immediately return to the Huishang Hall, but instead came to look for him. She had visited her every other day, but now she had disappeared for days. He was also busy accompanying the Emperor, so he really missed her.
Qin Luofei arrived at the Jade Phoenix Hall and saw that the Imperial Consort Yu was practicing her sword skills alone. Looking at how she was not in a good mood, she walked over, picked up a branch from the ground, and started sparring with Imperial Consort Yu.
Imperial Consort Yu didn’t expect that Qin Luo Fei would come to visit her, but since she wanted to compete, she might as well compete with her.
“I didn’t expect Sister Qin to improve so quickly.” Imperial Consort Yu said as he dodged Qin Luofei’s move.
“Thank you for teaching me, but I am still inferior to you, am I not?” Qin Luofei said with a smile, the branch in her hand was easily grasped.
“A single tree branch can last so long, you’re already as good as me, or even better.” With a wave of the Imperial Consort Yu’s hand, the tree branch was finally cut off.
“You don’t seem to be in a good mood. What’s going on?” Qin Luofei asked curiously.
“There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just that recently, I saw you so busy and didn’t have time to accompany me, so I felt lonely.” Imperial Consort Yu was indeed a straightforward person, she was not good at hiding her own thoughts.
Qin Luofei understood the meaning behind her words. After all, they are both women. Imperial Consort Yu loves the Emperor so much but he has always favored me recently, so I think she feels bad. I am her best sister in the palace.
“Your majesty has indeed been looking for me these past few days. I have no time.” But I don’t want him to affect our relationship. “Remember, we are the best sisters, friendship is far inferior to love. No matter what happens in the future, you have to remember that I have always thought about you, my sister.”
In her heart, love was no longer important. Right now, friendship was the thing that was most valuable to her.
“Yes, I will definitely remember Sister Qin. In the palace, only you are worthy of my cherishment. Although I feel a little uncomfortable inside when I see you like this with the emperor, I’m actually not jealous of you. “Actually, the Emperor couldn’t possibly love me alone. I know this very well.”
Hearing Imperial Consort Yu’s words, Qin Luofei relaxed. As long as she wasn’t jealous, their friendship would last forever. She really didn’t want to fight with any woman for this man because he wasn’t worth it. What they received today was just to prepare for the destruction in the future.
Qin Luofei returned to the palace after having dinner with Imperial Consort Yu. Not only did she reap the rewards of love, she also reaped a more sincere friendship.
It was just that after Qin Luofei left the Jade Phoenix Hall, the Imperial Consort Leng came here immediately. Imperial Consort Leng had always been arrogant and rarely visited imperial concubines, but today, she actually took the initiative to visit them. This caused Imperial Consort Yu to be shocked.
“Imperial Consort Yu, you have been in the palace for so long, yet I have never come to visit you. This is some precious jewellery that I hope you can accept.” When Imperial Consort Leng walked in, she politely introduced the purpose of her visit.
“Imperial Consort Leng being so courteous surprised me. I wonder what is your real purpose in coming here? “If you have something to say, just say it. I happen to have a matter that I need to attend to.” Imperial Consort Yu didn’t really welcome Imperial Consort Leng. This woman must have something to discuss with him, otherwise she wouldn’t have anything to do.
“Actually, it’s nothing much. I just felt that the Emperor had recently neglected you and felt that you were alone, so I came to take a look.” “I know your relationship with Imperial Concubine Qin has always been very good, but you also saw that ever since Imperial Concubine Qin was favored, the emperor didn’t remember you at all.”
With that, Imperial Consort Leng ordered Yun Er to unpack the items.
“I’ve always been reluctant to bring this hairpin. It looks like I’m quite on good terms with you, little sister, so I’ll just give it to you.”
Imperial Consort Yu picked up the jade hairpin and looked at it again and again. It looked like it was worth a lot of money, especially that white jade hairpin which was so clear and sparkling that it was hard to come by.
“I can’t accept this precious gift. As the saying goes, eating a person with a soft mouth means one’s hands are short.” Imperial Consort Yu was not greedy for this hairpin.
“Imperial Consort Yu doesn’t mind, why don’t you look at the others? Yun Er will open them for you.”
“I don’t want them. If Imperial Consort Leng has nothing else, please go back. I still have things to do, so let’s talk another day. ”
Imperial Consort Yu immediately sent out the order to expel him, he actually wanted to rope him in. She didn’t even look at who she was. She actually wanted to bribe him with this little bit of jewelry.
“Could it be that Imperial Consort Yu wants to continue acting like this forever? Don’t you see your own sister getting the favor of the Emperor and ignoring you? “Since we’re both women, then stop pretending.” Imperial Consort Leng did not believe that she would not be able to convince her. As long as she was jealous, he would definitely be able to instigate conflict between them.
“Jealous? Do you think I’m you? ”
Imperial Consort Yu had already seen through Imperial Consort Leng’s intentions. It would not be easy for him to sow discord between them. Her relationship with Sister Qin was not something that others could understand.
“Don’t be so decisive with Imperial Consort Yu’s words, don’t slap yourself one day.”
“Don’t worry, there won’t be such a day. Does Imperial Concubine still have anything else to say?” Imperial Consort Yu did not want to hear one more word.
“Since you don’t want to speak more about Imperial Consort Yu, Yun Er, let’s go back.” Imperial Consort Leng left in anger.
This woman actually wanted to rope him in to deal with Sister Qin together with her. This was utter nonsense.
The next day, the Imperial Consort Leng told Qin Luofei about this matter. She didn’t expect that the Imperial Consort Leng would really go all out to deal with him. If this woman didn’t have a child in her womb, she would have done something to her long ago. But she wouldn’t let her go easily either.
“What I want to say is, thank you, believe me.” Qin Luofei knew that the Imperial Consort Yu would never betray her no matter what. It was enough for her to have such a close friend.
After Imperial Consort Leng left the Huishang Hall, Qin Luofei proceeded to the Huishang Hall. Since she was a good sister, she shouldn’t have allowed the Imperial Consort Yu to feel cold towards her. She needed more of Emperor Ming’s concern than herself.
“Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Qin wishes to seek an audience.” The Emperor was currently reading alone in Cool Hall, and knew that Qin Luofei had come to visit him. The corners of her mouth raised.
“Bring her in.” Emperor Ming put down the book in his hands and took the initiative to welcome Imperial Concubine Qin. It had been two days since he’d asked to play chess with her, and he hadn’t expected her to arrive just in time.
“Greetings, your Imperial Majesty.” Qin Luofei bowed politely.
“Forget about it, just forget about the formalities between the two of us from now on.”
“Your Majesty, this isn’t appropriate, right? The etiquette within the palace still needs to be observed.” Today, chenqie came here with a request. I wonder if the emperor can agree to it. ” With the Emperor Ming’s current love for him, going straight to the point was still better.
“Speak, as long as it is within my means, I will definitely do it.”
“In the future, please don’t favor your concubine alone. I hope you can also visit the other imperial concubines as well.”
When Qin Luofei said these words, Emperor Ming felt that she was worthy of his love. In the imperial harem, there was actually a concubine who told him not to spoil her, but that was unexpected.
“Are you feeling sorry for your sisters because they are unpampered? How can This Emperor not love someone who has deep feelings for you? ” Emperor Ming walked forward and embraced Qin Luofei into his embrace. Only a woman with this sort of demeanor was qualified to be a queen.
“Your majesty, can you agree to chenqie’s request?”
“Of course, you’re doing this for the sake of the harem so that there won’t be any quarrels. I have promised you that I won’t favor you alone anymore. I just hope that you won’t feel sad seeing me favor the other concubines. You’re the most special woman I’ve ever met. ”
The corner of Qin Luofei’s mouth raised, this way the Imperial Consort Yu wouldn’t feel sad.
“However, you must also promise me one thing. From today onwards, you must spend more time playing chess with me.”
“Alright, as long as the emperor wants to play chess, chenqie can call for you whenever you want. As long as the emperor doesn’t get tired of it, it’s fine.”
As he spoke, they played chess together, laughing and talking, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Leng Mu, who was standing far away, felt his heart ache when he saw this scene. He did not expect that she would still obtain his favor.
“Your Majesty, this is the An Shen Tang that you wanted.” Leng Mu lowered his head, no longer wanting to see the expression on Qin Luofei’s face. Right now, she was the lofty Imperial Concubine Qin, the beloved concubine by his side. He didn’t dare to have any more thoughts.
“Put it down, Love Consort. How about we get Imperial Physician Lin to give you this An Shen Tang as well?” It’s been a while since I’ve had it. I feel better now, and my energy is even more abundant than it used to be. ”
“Thank you, your majesty. Chenqie is much better now, I don’t need the An Shen Tang.”
Qin Luofei turned and looked at Leng Mu with an indescribable feeling in her heart. Why did they meet in such a setting? She was helpless, but she didn’t know what to do. Although her heart was in pain, he could only endure it. She was a member of the Emperor Ming, an irrevocable fact.
“That still needs to be supplemented. When you go back to Imperial Physician Lin, tell him to give a bowl to Imperial Concubine Qin every day. ”
“It’s the emperor. This humble subject takes his leave.”
The Emperor Ming waved his hand, and Leng Mu turned to leave.
Qin Luofei’s gaze was always on him, but Emperor Ming’s sharp eyes caught her action.
“Love Consort, what’s wrong?” Emperor Ming stared at Qin Luofei with suspicion as he asked.
“Nothing, I was just thinking.”
“What are you thinking about? I would really like to hear it. ” In Emperor Ming’s heart, there was no room for the woman he loved to develop feelings for anyone.
Qin Luofei sensed that something was wrong with the Emperor Ming and immediately changed the topic.
“I wonder when I’ll be able to have the Emperor’s child again.”
Qin Luofei’s words made Emperor Ming blame himself even more. He also had a certain amount of responsibility for Princess Tranquil’s death. He had misunderstood that Qin Luofei was with Emperor Yun. When Princess Tranquil was ill, he did not try his best to treat her.
“There will be. Don’t think about the past anymore. Promise me.” We do not wish to see you frown. ” Emperor Ming caressed Qin Luofei’s face in pain.
“Chenqie promises Your Majesty that she won’t think about it in the future.” Qin Luofei said.
“Yes, I will protect you well in the future. I won’t let you get injured.”
If he hadn’t changed his mind in the past, he would still be a Empress Leng now. He wouldn’t go through so much torture either. The heavens allowed her to be reborn, while allowing her to fall in love with him again. Wasn’t this just letting him take revenge? In her previous life, she had suffered a lot, and in this life, she hoped that she would be able to get through it.
Qin Luofei replied Huishang Hall, and actually saw Leng Mu waiting for her in her bedroom.
“Master Leng, what are you doing?” Qin Luofei looked down at Leng Mu’s indescribable guilt in his heart.
“The soup is here.”
“Oh.” Qin Luofei brushed past Leng Mu; she thought that he would say something to her, but in the end, he didn’t.
Leng Mu’s face was sinister and in pain. Why was she his concubine? Why didn’t he even have the power to be jealous? He wanted to tell her what he thought, but he couldn’t. He is a woman from the Emperor Ming!
“Master Leng.” Qin Luofei still couldn’t help but shout out.
Leng Mu did not dare to turn his head. He did not want her to see her current expression.
