After being forced to marry a tyrant: I overturned the original plot

Yu Fei was stunned. After a long while, she finally found her vocal cords which seemed to have fallen out.

"Queen, you..."

"I'm fine."

"……Um."

Yu Fei choked up. Of course she knew she was fine! She just admired her ability to make up stories in public.

Suddenly I understood. Some time ago, the rumor in the palace...

Why is "A Few Stories About the Concubine Shu's Abnormal Love for the Queen" so detailed?

There is nothing this guy can’t make up!

Seeing that Concubine Yu looked at him with a fan-shaped look that was "three parts admiration, three parts fear, and three parts indescribable" with one point missing, Qin Xin remembered the key points written in Gu Fei's manual.

She immediately pinched her throat and said, "I just came up with this desperate plan to help us escape from the predicament. I hope my sister won't blame me for being incompetent!"

Huan'er's eyes widened, and she muttered subconsciously -

"You are so capable, yet you are still incompetent?"

In the entire harem, you have no enemies, only your "admirers" and dead souls.

Qin Xin glanced at Huan'er who was trying to spoil the show, and the latter hurriedly leaned forward and went to find something to do.

Concubine Yu was stunned for a moment, and her original guilt and pity were wiped out by Huan'er's enlightening words.

If she were to say, it would be a waste of the queen's talent for her to marry His Majesty. She is more suitable to be an envoy and engage in verbal battles with other countries!

"No, you are amazing."

At least if she were asked to face Concubine De, who had pretended to be kind and generous for several years but was actually smiling but with a dagger hidden behind her, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Ok?

So cold? That's not right, Gu Fei, are you sure there's nothing wrong with your manual?

She blinked and looked at Yu Fei with puppy eyes.

"It was me who caused you to be held captive by Concubine De..."

"Queen, are you trying to get me into this group?"

Concubine Yu was a straightforward person who would not beat around the bush. She didn't think Qin Xin's acting was poor, but her words were somewhat inconsistent with Qin Xin's performance just now...

I can't help but think of this.

"..."

Gu Gou misled her!

"No, absolutely not. We are each in our own faction. If we can get along, we will get along. If we can't, we will stay away from each other."

Qin Xin raised both hands to show his determination.

Don't get involved with forming cliques or factions, she just doesn't want to make enemies! Who understands!

Seeing Qin Xin's attitude of refusal, Concubine Yu paused, not knowing whether to be relieved or helpless.

"Then... I will accept your favor today, and I will repay you when I have the chance."

"That's fine. I'll make a note of it."

"…The queen is a funny person."

It was a little different from what she imagined.

After Yu Fei left, Qin Xin touched his forehead.

No sweat, but still quite depressing.

When Gu Fei was not around, his harem was in chaos, as if everyone felt that she would be crushed to death as soon as he left.

Oh, a little bit...

I miss Gu Fei’s mouth.

When he was around, the concubines would be so frozen that they would stay three feet away from him and would not want to get close to him.

The next day, Concubine De had another attack.

She went directly to Fulu Palace.

At that time, the empress dowager, who had gotten up early and was weeding with a small hoe, heard that her son's concubine came to her to complain.

She put on the veil silently and asked Concubine De to come over.

Defei looked at Liu Mingyue, who was wearing a mask and plain clothes. If it weren't for the iconic mute woman beside her, she would have suspected that she had seen the wrong person.

Although the previous person was a fake, he was... elegant and graceful, and never lost his manners.

This old woman wielding a hoe to till the land...who are you?

She swallowed her disgust and put on a submissive smile.

"I have met the Queen Mother. I wanted to pay my respects to her earlier, but unfortunately... the Queen has ordered that you do not like to see outsiders, and I dare not disobey."

Liu Mingyue hadn't interacted with anyone in the palace for many years. She had been in a dark place for ten years, and she felt...

Qin Xin talked about social phobia.

But deep down, she is still the Queen Chen who rode a flying horse to pick flowers, so heroic and valiant.

"Then why are you here now?"

Isn't this still disobedience?

Liu Mingyue spoke indifferently. Just because she didn't want to care about worldly affairs didn't mean she was ignorant of the ways of the world.

Concubine De choked, with hatred hidden in her eyes.

But she replied aggrievedly: "If it weren't for the Queen Mother's request to rectify the palace rules, I would not want to disturb your peace."

No wonder the Phoenix Seal fell into Qin Xin's hands so easily. It turns out that the real thing is just an incompetent soft persimmon!

She bit her lip, and seeing Liu Mingyue squatting down to dig the soil, she continued patiently -

"The Queen Mother has just returned to the palace. You are the master of this harem. The Queen came from another country and she doesn't know our rules. The concubines are not allowed to go out without permission, but the Queen allowed Concubine Yu to leave the palace without permission...

Those who don’t know would think that I don’t take you seriously and don’t take the rules of the late emperor seriously.”

"Mummy, you still need to fertilize. The seedlings won't grow."

Liu Mingyue was concentrating on the seedlings in front of her, as if Concubine De's words were falling on deaf ears.

"..."

Defei's eyes were about to spit flames.

But now this person is the only one in the harem who can control the queen, so she naturally has to bite the bullet and continue to incite.

"Your Majesty has just left the palace for a day, and the Queen is already like this. I am also worried that he will be upset when he comes back and sees that the harem is unruly."

"He won't."

Finally, Liu Mingyue paid attention to Concubine De, turned around, and looked at her with a pair of eyes that were as calm as water but could see through everyone's heart.

"Your Majesty is concerned about the disaster area. If you turn a blind eye and don't make a big fuss, he won't know about it and won't be bothered."

She had an attitude of becoming a nun and having a Zen-like spirit, which made Concubine De blush.

It's difficult to communicate. The queen is cunning and difficult to deal with, while this guy just wants to save all living beings and doesn't care about worldly affairs. His words never get to the point.

"Can--"

"Whoever has the Phoenix Seal will be the one in charge of the harem."

Liu Mingyue spoke in a flat tone. Under the unwilling gaze of Concubine De, she pointed at her own seedlings.

"You should go back. We need to apply fertilizer. It will stink."

"..."

If Qin Xin were here, she would definitely manually give Defei an emoticon of vomiting three liters of blood.

After the people left, the mute woman showed a helpless yet funny expression.

Use sign language to express "You did it on purpose" to Liu Mingyue.

Liu Mingyue took off her veil and raised the corners of her lips slightly.

His eyes fell on the seedlings, gentle and loving.

"The emperor has grown up, there is not much I can do for him."

Clapping his hands, Liu Mingyue looked at the clear and crisp autumn sky and sighed again.

"She was right in saying one thing. Now that I have returned to the palace, I should establish some rules."

Defei went to Fulu Palace and found that the one in Fengqi Palace was unharmed, and the one in Xiuli Palace was also safe and sound.

The concubines in the harem who were watching stopped thinking about it.

Look, what happens when these aggressive ones pop up like mushrooms after rain?

There is still only one queen.

The fake queen mother favored her own daughter, Consort Shu, so the real queen mother naturally favored the queen.

Who said the real queen mother was rescued by the queen?

This good luck just didn't happen to anyone else.

The fortune predicted by the imperial teacher is so accurate. The queen’s blessing is so enviable and... jealous.

However, those who were watching the fun and those who were seeking quietness had never expected that the empress dowager, who had refused to see guests after returning to the palace, would suddenly order all the concubines to pay their respects in Fulu Palace.

Except for the carefree Qin Xin, everyone came to the main hall of Fulu Palace with trepidation and suspicion.

"What Concubine De is reminding me is that I have been back in the palace for many days and it is time to establish some rules."

Liu Mingyue, who was sitting at the top and wearing gorgeous clothes, said something that made everyone's eyes involuntarily turn to Concubine De.

Before Defei could even smile, she was frozen by these gazes.

What a fool! Why single her out?

But the queen is not afraid. What if she offends a few small fish and shrimps?

But the concubine didn't think so.

——Okay, I was wondering why I was called here to be lectured for no reason!

——No, Concubine De, are you sick? If you like to make the rules, do it yourself, don't drag the whole harem into it!

——It's really unfortunate that this was affected. Can't they open a separate stage and do their own thing?

Only Qin Xin's eyelids twitched——

Oh, what's going on?

"I have had a miserable life these past few years and have not been able to sleep well at night. I am also worried about your Majesty who is away on a long journey. So, each of you should go back and copy a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures to pray for me and your Majesty."

Defei’s smile froze.

Is this setting rules?

"Queen Mother..."

"The Virtuous Concubine is the most filial. You should set an example for me. Until His Majesty comes back, you can copy scriptures here to entertain me."

"..."

Defei, who was interrupted, was stunned.

The Empress Dowager glanced at her, and for some reason, this glance reminded Concubine De of His Majesty.

Suddenly his body felt cold and trembling, and he lowered his head and replied "yes" in frustration.

Qin Xin pursed her lips and pinched her waist to avoid gloating.

But the Queen Mother suddenly looked at her——

"Queen, your handwriting... never mind. Come and help me grow vegetables from time to time to calm your restless temper."

Qin Xin: “…”

He is really an expert at keeping things balanced.

When Concubine De saw that the Queen Mother had a cold expression on her face and had just bluntly said that the Queen's handwriting was "ugly", she immediately felt a little gloating.

"I will copy the Buddhist scriptures carefully and pray for the Queen Mother and Your Majesty."

Qin Xin shook his head secretly: I punished you to copy scriptures, but you still feel honored.
