It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

Early in the morning, in Fengzao Palace.

The queen was sitting in front of an exquisitely carved rosewood dressing table with hollow dragon and phoenix patterns.

Her personal maid Yuping was dressing her.

"The Queen looks really good today. Her skin is whiter than snow and rosy. In my opinion, the Queen doesn't even need to put on any powder or rouge today."

Yuping is the most trusted by the Queen and knows her thoughts very well.

She knew that the Queen was happy and had slept well in the past two days, so she sweetly praised the Queen for her good complexion.

The queen was very pleased with her words, and she looked at herself in the mirror.

In the intricate and gorgeous bronze mirror with phoenix pattern, a dignified and beautiful face looks radiant and energetic.

Her eyebrows are green without any makeup, and her lips are red without any lipstick. It is indeed a rare good complexion.

Just looking at her current appearance, who would have thought that

Two days ago, she still had a pair of dark circles under her eyes, and her face was full of fatigue and resentment that was inconsistent with her age?

Yuping leaned close to the queen's ear, suppressed the joy in her heart, and whispered:

"The day before yesterday, the imperial concubine was reprimanded by the emperor, who even said he wanted to cut off her tongue."

The queen's lips curled up, her smiling eyes did not leave the mirror, and she snorted disdainfully.

"My mother is right. The Imperial Concubine is indeed shallow and arrogant. How dare she interfere with the Emperor's decision? She is so audacious and ignorant!"

Among all the people in the palace, only the empress dowager dared to give the emperor some advice. Who else would dare to do so?

This imperial concubine has really lost her own weight after being favored for just a few days!

Yuping knew that the Queen had long been dissatisfied with the Imperial Concubine.

He was busy with his hands and said:

"I see that this imperial concubine is really too bold!"

"I heard that her food, clothing and other expenses are all in accordance with your standards, the Empress, and the patterns on her clothes and jewelry must be peony and phoenix."

"Who doesn't know what she's thinking? Yet the emperor indulges her."

The queen sneered, but was not angry. She just lowered her eyes to look at her nails.

Yuping continued:

"The day before yesterday, the emperor made the young maid whom she wanted to kill a talented person in her palace. Isn't this a slap in her face?"

"I heard that the imperial concubine looked as ugly as a dead person. She was so angry that she slapped Bai Lan and blood came out. She didn't dare to come to the queen, so she went to the queen mother."

The smile on Yuping's lips became even more intense.

While putting jewelry on the queen, he lightly told her what to do next.

The Queen Mother hated coquettish women the most, and she didn't like the Imperial Concubine in the first place.

That day, the imperial concubine went to ask the empress dowager for help, but the empress dowager refused to see her and made her stand outside the Cining Palace until late at night before letting her go back.

The imperial concubine suffered two setbacks in a row. She was furious when she returned home and smashed many of the things given by the emperor.

She had pretended to be sick yesterday, saying that she had caught a cold, and asked Bai Lan to go and invite the emperor. Bai Lan ran no less than ten times, but didn't even see the emperor.

"From what I can see from her, she has completely fallen out of favor!"

When Yuping finished speaking, her tone relaxed, as if the resentment that had been suppressed in her heart had been completely released.

The queen's eyes moved slightly, as if she was thinking about something, and she asked softly, "She beat Bai Lan?"

"Yes"

"Poor girl, she's quite clever and well-behaved. I guess she's suffered a lot following her. Go see her when you have time."

The queen looked at herself in the mirror, her head swaying slightly from side to side, but the tassels of her hairpins did not move at all.

"Oh, right, the emperor and that..." She paused.

Yu Ping hurriedly reminded, "It's Concubine Su."

The Queen narrowed her eyes slightly, "Yes, it's Concubine Su. The Emperor and Concubine Su have been staying in Qianxiao Palace for two days and two nights, right?"

"Yes, today is the third day." Yuping answered politely.

The queen took the new tea brought by the maid, took a sip, and sneered, "Another coquettish slut."

Yuping came closer and whispered:

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has never brought any other concubines to live in Qianxiao Palace. Will this Concubine Su become the next one?"

The queen's eyes were calm. She put down the teacup and snorted.

"Let's wait until she goes to bed first, but——"

She smiled at her lips.

"She is just a little palace maid, whose background is even lower than that of a royal concubine. I guess she will be abandoned by the emperor and forgotten in a few days."

Everyone in the former dynasty and the harem thought that the emperor liked beautiful and charming women the most.

Only she saw it most clearly. The emperor was using them as tools!

"Okay, the concubines are all here, I should go out and meet the sisters. I guess they have a lot to say to me."

The queen put on the gilded phoenix-patterned armor, and with her soft white hands she gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief embroidered with phoenix and peony.

Then he put his hand on Yuping's arm and walked towards the front hall with great grace.

----

The inner hall of Qianxiao Palace was completely silent.

The only sound that can be heard in the spacious inner hall is the gurgling sound of the hot spring water.

Su Wanti has been locked up here for two days and two nights, and Leng Hong doesn't care about her.

She learned through the system that the harem had been going crazy these past two days.

It is said that the emperor got a very beautiful woman, and the two of them were intimate in the palace day and night.

It was said that the beauty was so charming that the emperor did not leave the palace for two days and two nights, and even did not attend court.

Su Wanti felt bitter and felt wronged!

In the past two days, she couldn't even enter Leng Hong's bedroom. During these two nights, she slept on the soft couch outside the bedroom.

Leng Hong didn't let her enter the bedroom. He only let her move around in the space outside the bedroom and be quiet and not make any noise.

During these two days, he did not leave the inner hall, nor did he allow the palace servants to enter the inner hall to serve him. He only asked the palace servants to place three meals a day in front of the inner hall door and then let Su Wanti bring them in.

Su Wanti observed and found that Leng Hong's life was extremely regular.

He got up at the hour of Mao, washed himself and went to the back garden to see the wild animals. After coming back and having breakfast, he went to review memorials until noon.

After a short rest and lunch, he would review memorials for an hour, then take a nap for half an hour, get up and go to the back garden. After coming back, he would review memorials or read books until dinner time.

After dinner, he would continue reading or go to the back garden until midnight when he returned to his bedroom to rest.

He looks like a diligent and self-disciplined monarch.

This is different from the image of an emperor who is rumored to be bloodthirsty, murderous and tyrannical.

However, Su Wanti learned about his experience through the system and understood why he was regarded by the world as a cold-blooded, cruel and tyrannical tyrant.

Leng Hong was the only son of the late emperor. He had ten uncles, all of whom were ordered to be killed by him after he ascended the throne, and all of them were tortured.

He killed them all, completely eradicating the entire clan, and even spared no one's family members.

The regent who helped him to the throne was also killed by him and his body was never found.

Not to mention his political enemies, foreign forces and corrupt officials he found out.

If these people fall into his hands, they will only die more miserably—

Su Wanti knew what he was doing, so she served him carefully for the past two days, listened to his words, and lived quietly like an invisible person in this inner hall.

Until this evening -
