I swept the harem by pretending to be weak
Chapter 60: In the Dream Palace
The palace where Concubine Chen lives is called Lianmeng Palace. It is said that this palace was built specially for her by the emperor. It is also because of this that she has always been recognized as the emperor's favorite concubine.
However, facing three thousand beauties, even the most recognized favorite concubine could only stay alone in an empty room. The emperor was probably a little worried about dealing with the matter of the virtuous concubine, so he did not visit the pregnant Concubine Chen as usual.
Liu Zhirou didn't know that another powerful person sitting on the throne of a concubine had already severely criticized Concubine Xian in front of the emperor. But just looking at the current situation, one can understand how anxious Concubine Xian is now.
If there was no other way, Concubine Xian would not have taken that step. After all, this emperor was not a puppet emperor without any real power. On the contrary, he had a good control over the court. If this matter was really discovered, not only Concubine Xian, but even the family behind her would be in trouble.
Compared to the empty palace of Concubine Xian, Concubine Chen's place is undoubtedly much more lively.
Even though it was already night, Concubine Chen still did not go into the bedroom to rest, but stayed in the lobby of the palace. There were not only her and her maids in the lobby, but also several concubines of lower rank. In the middle was something similar to a chessboard, but Liu Zhirou took a closer look and found that it was more like mahjong than a chess game.
It's just difficult to judge because I can't hear any sound.
Liu Zhirou looked at it carefully and became more and more frightened the more she looked.
Most of the concubines who are now staying with Concubine Chen are not the selected concubines Baolin who do not even have the qualifications to pay respects. Several of them were even introduced to her by Concubine Wan. Concubine Qian and Concubine Yu both have titles and were once favored by the emperor for a period of time.
Although the other two did not have titles, they were also beauties. Liu Zhirou vaguely remembered that one was Beauty Bao and the other was Beauty Xiao. It was just that these two were not very favored.
Liu Zhirou only hated that she had not developed this skill enough to hear what they said, otherwise she would have been able to extract a lot of information from them. She had a hunch that the secret of Chen Fei's pregnancy might be among these people.
But thinking about it this way, this emperor is really miserable. He happily welcomed the pregnancy of three concubines, but it turned out that one was faking it, and the other might also be faking it. The only one is really still surrounded by wolves. And another virtuous concubine who has been with him for a long time is preparing to give him a hat of forgiveness.
Whenever Liu Zhirou thought about it, she felt that it would be very difficult for her to look this emperor in the face in the future. She thought that she was wise and powerful, and that she could make all the decisions for herself, but she didn't expect that, not to mention the mess of the previous dynasty, she couldn't even settle the matter in the harem.
He was clearly the highest-ranking person in feudal society, oppressing everyone, so why did he end up in such a miserable state?
"Why do I feel it's so cold in this room?" Lady Bao touched the teacup lightly with her fingers and shivered involuntarily.
The maid beside her was very considerate and immediately put a coat on her mistress. With the coat to keep out the cold, Lady Bao seemed to feel better.
"You must have stayed up too late last night, that's why you look so listless. Take care of yourself and don't catch a cold and be sick for several months." The beautiful Qian at the side teased.
Compared to Chen Fei's classical beauty, Qian Meiren looks more wild, with three-dimensional facial features and a healthy wheat-colored skin.
Although it is already autumn, Miss Qian doesn't seem to feel the cold at all. She is dressed quite boldly, revealing her slender neck and beautiful collarbone.
"Okay, you two should stop talking. Look, the new sister Yu must be scared." Lady Xiao said from the side.
The beautiful lady just forced a smile.
Unlike the other three people who were acting casually and even bohemian, she looked very restrained, like a female student who had accidentally walked into a bar, and seemed out of place with the surrounding environment.
Liu Zhirou no longer believed the fact that Chen Fei was pregnant. Perhaps this was just a smokescreen to confuse others.
Pregnancy is something that should be treated with great caution even now, especially since this is not the modern era and there is no such advanced medical technology as in modern times. If something goes wrong, two lives may be lost. However, Chen Fei did not seem to pay attention to these things at all. She even brought a glass of wine even though she was pregnant.
If this scene was seen by the emperor who was going crazy because of missing his son, or the nanny who kept a close eye on the pregnant concubine, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
But unfortunately, there was no emperor here, only Concubine Chen and her four henchmen, and Liu Zhirou who was hiding and watching secretly.
"Okay, Sister Yu, don't be depressed. What's wrong with playing with everyone? Life is short, so you should pursue pleasure. If your father saw you like this, he would have to let us bully you." Chen Fei also spoke with a smile.
"I am just not feeling well, so I seem a little weak and I am sorry to spoil your Majesty's mood." The beautiful lady Yu could only pick up the wine glass and forced a smile.
"Hey, we are all family. Why do we have to use these long-winded honorifics in front of each other? You call me sister and I call you sister. It sounds so intimate this way." Chen Fei deliberately showed dissatisfaction on her face.
The beautiful Qian beside her also started laughing.
"She is a real lady from a noble family. She comes from a scholarly family. It is said that her father was once a top scholar." Lady Qian said these compliments, but actually her tone sounded weird, and it was hard to figure out what she wanted to say.
The other people who stayed here also knew about it, but didn't take it to heart.
Liu Zhirou couldn't hear the voices, but from their changing expressions, she could clearly tell that Yu Meiren was not happy. It could even be said that she was disgusted with the current situation, but she had to stay.
Liu Zhirou was very surprised. She remembered that Lady Yu did not live in this palace. She thought that Lady Yu came here because she wanted to share the favor of Concubine Chen, so she asked someone to move to Lianmeng Palace, just like Du Baolin did.
It is said that the reason why Du Baolin did this was because his family background was very good, similar to that of Concubine Shu, and he came from an old noble family. Therefore, he was able to establish connections in the palace and achieve the goal of moving the palace.
There must be something else hidden behind what Yu Meiren did.
