The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 2 The Emperor is Not in a Hurry

Qin Liuse was helped by Qingqing to walk around the house and stretch her muscles. After lying down for so long, her limbs were degenerating.

While listening to Qingqing chirping, "Beauty, you don't know, today, another servant left our courtyard."

Qin Liuse was not surprised. In the past month or so, many people had left and right in her courtyard.

Everyone wants to climb higher. "Don't blame them. Everyone has their own master. If they can find a master that suits their heart after they leave, it is also their good fortune."

As the saying goes, it is better to part ways in peace. Qin Liuse was not at all upset about someone leaving. Maybe in the future, if they want to come back, they won't be able to find a way.

Aunt Mingyue came over and informed the beauty that the water in the bathroom was ready and invited her to go and take a bath. When she heard Qingqing's words, she reached out and tapped her forehead.

"Didn't I tell you not to tell these dirty things to the beauty? You are just making things worse."

Qingqing is the youngest maid serving Qin Liuse. She was only twelve years old when she followed her in the palace, and now she is only fourteen. She is a little lively and talkative, but smart.

"Oh, I just wanted to tell my beauty, look at how snobbish those people are!" Qingqing actually thought, "If my beauty cheers up, what can they do to her?"

Although she was small, she had bright eyes. Apart from anything else, among all the people she had seen since she entered the palace, no one was more beautiful than the beauty in her family.

But his personality doesn't seem to be as outstanding as his appearance.

Qin Liuse smiled at Mingyue, "It's okay. I'll be here every day, so I can listen to these words more often and sharpen my ears."

She was lying in the corner of the room listening, and the words she heard were much more unpleasant than these.

I don't know whether those people said it unintentionally or deliberately for her to hear.

All in all, there aren't many good things to say.

Qin Liuse couldn't help but think darkly that it was Qin Huaijin who sent people here to gossip for her to hear, in order to make her seriously ill and add to her mental illness, which was what he wanted the most.

It's a pity that she is not sick at all, and some people's plans from their previous life will not work out.

As they were talking, they had already walked into the bathroom.

Qingqing smiled proudly at Aunt Mingyue, and Mingyue also smiled and shook her head, helping Qin Liuse take off her clothes while chatting.

"They are just fence-sitters. They are not a problem. I am just worried that the beauty will be upset if she sees them in the future."

Aunt Mingyue was an old lady who used to serve in the palace. She was assigned to serve by the Shanggong Bureau after Qin Liuse entered the palace when the new emperor ascended the throne. She was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, older than anyone else in the room, and had a much more stable temperament.

Qingqing rubbed Qin Liuse's back while snorting, "My beauty, you don't know, it's fine if they leave, but there are also people staying in the room next door, Qin Cairen. Aren't they just trying to make trouble for us?"

Qin Liuse sighed, "It's okay. If it's not ours, we can't force it. If it's ours, we can't take it away."

As he spoke, he patted Aunt Mingyue's hand, feeling a little complicated.

She was an unfavored concubine, and she had no one to rely on. Qingqing and Zijin had followed her into the palace, and they had feelings for each other. "If I were to say what my biggest gain was after entering the palace, wouldn't it be Mingyue?"

Mingyue was moved by what she heard, but Qingqing was so angry that she didn't even want to take a bath. She choked up and said, "The beauty is quite open-minded! But I heard from Zijin that when she was in Yangzhou, she used to take a milk bath every night. It was this kind of nourishment that gave her such tender skin that you could pinch out water. Such a pampered beauty, now she is like this, the beauty is not angry, I feel sorry for her!"

She was so angry that she even called herself ""I". It was because Qin Liuse was kind to the maid that she could say such things.

Qin Liuse was both angry and amused. "It's the eunuch who is anxious, not the emperor. But I also know that Qingqing is doing this for my own good, but it's useless for you to be anxious. If you are anxious, will the emperor come to our remote Shuyuexuan by himself?"

Qingqing was easily comforted. After hearing what Qin Liuse said, she smiled embarrassedly.

Then he picked up the handkerchief and wiped Qin Liuse's body. "I know. I just see people moving rewards around next door every day. Besides, it's only been a short time since Qin Cairen entered the palace. She has already served in the bedchamber, but she is still a beauty... I'm jealous."

Only Qingqing could say such straightforward words, and Qin Liuse and Mingyue did not feel embarrassed when they heard them, but laughed instead.

Qin Liuse was helped to stand up and sat on the soft couch in the bathroom. Mingyue Qingqing helped her apply perfume. After a while, she said, "In this palace, before you are favored, it is a blessing to be miserable."

Qingqing seemed to understand but not quite.

Mingyue deeply agreed with this in her heart. The more favored and beautiful a person is, the more enemies he or she will have in the palace.

After serving for a long time, I also realized that although Liu Se was meticulous, he was still a human being after all, and I thought of what happened a month ago.

I couldn't help but ask, "Beauty, if they come to ask you if you want to leave the palace again?"

Qin Liuse waved her hand to stop her from continuing, "Mingyue, I've been lying down for a month and I've finally come to terms with it. Not only in this deep palace, but in this world, the most untrustworthy and most deceptive thing is love."

Mingyue had been holding a grudge in her heart for a month, and finally she let out a long sigh.

Within these palace walls, love is not the least valuable thing.

Mingyue was tying Qin Liuse's hair while looking at her body. Such a plump and soft body, a face like a peach blossom, and eyes like water, how tempting it was.

Looking against the light, the beauty's body was as white as solidified fat, even more crystal clear than those jade articles, just waiting to be picked by the king. If she could give birth to a son or daughter, she would enjoy endless wealth and honor.

However, there is no shortage of young beauties in the palace, and wealth and honor obviously will not come so easily.

She was willing to stay with Qin Liuse, and seeing how kindly she treated the servants during this period, Mingyue decided in her heart that she would always follow her.

In other palaces, masters would beat and scold servants at will, and did not treat slaves as human beings. But in Shu Yuexuan, this had never been seen before.

Qin Liuse had just put on her clothes and was still sitting there with Qingqing helping her wipe her feet when the door to the outer room was pushed open with a bang.

Zi Jin couldn't stop him, so he ran in front of Qin Huaijin and said, "I deserve to die. Concubine Qin brought people to carry me away, and I really couldn't stop them!"

Qin Huaijin is in favor now. Although he does not live in the main hall of Shu Yuexuan, his aura is the same as that of the master of a palace.

Qin Liuse looked at her pitiful face, which was like a little lamb. Others would never have thought that this Qin Cairen, who was usually gentle and weak, would have such a side to her.

And this side was only facing her.

"I wonder what important matter is that you came to see me about?" Qin Liuse said, looking up.

"You still know that I am your sister. I have been in the palace for more than a month, and you have been lying in bed for more than a month. I wonder if you have done something wrong?" Qin Huaijin dared to come over only after he knew that she had recovered from her illness and got up.

Qin Liuse used to be afraid of her, but now Qin Liuse is not afraid of anyone.

She smiled and said, "My sister is ill, so she naturally stays indoors, fearing that she will infect me and miss the emperor's favor. Then I won't know who to blame. After all, there are so many beauties selected into the palace with my sister, and my sister is not the most beautiful, so naturally she will enjoy the favor day by day."

Qin Huaijin was so angry that his face turned pale and blue. Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Qin Liuse.

Qin Liuse continued, "As for whether it is the elder sister or the younger sister who did the wrong thing, I think the elder sister knows much more clearly than the younger sister."

This was directly pointing out that a month ago, Qin Huaijin tried to lure her out of the palace.

Neither the matter was successful, nor did he defeat Qin Liuse. Qin Huaijin looked sullen. He looked at the person who had been lying in front of him for a month but was becoming more and more inseparable. Her lips seemed to be dripping with honey, and she looked so charming and alluring.

Qin Huaijin couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Bitch."

"If it weren't for our Qin family, you wouldn't even think about entering the palace. You country girl, don't be too proud. Who are you trying to show off to by acting like a foxy girl all day long?"

Qin Liuse said, "You mean, the emperor's woman is a foxy woman? Then what is the husband of the foxy woman?"

Qin Huaijin said in a breathless voice, pointing at the perfumed lotion and perfumed ointment in the wooden plate on the high table, "I mean, you only use these broken things to seduce people."

Qin Liuse still said calmly, "I don't have such thoughts. If you like it, just take it. Since I'm with the emperor, I will be his for the rest of my life. I won't think about anything else. As for being rich and powerful, I just want to live out my life in peace in this palace."

Every word he said was neither humble nor arrogant, but generous and appropriate. Even someone as well-read as Qin Huaijin could not find a single flaw in it.

Qin Liuse stared at Qin Huaijin's colorful face and sighed in her heart that this noble lady of the Qin family was actually very smart.

Usually in front of others, she pretends to be weak and invulnerable.

I feel pity for you.

Now she was just dealing with her in her own way.

At this moment, Qin Liuse really wanted to ask her, do you know how annoying you are when you pretend to be pitiful and weak?

But Qin Liuse naturally wouldn't say such words.

We all like to sing opera, so let's sing together. Honesty is useless anyway.

Qin Huaijin was speechless at Qin Liuse's words. He saw Qingqing beside him packing up bottles and jars. One of the glass bottles was not held firmly and it knocked over with a clang.

He was so angry that he took it out on her and slapped her.

"The master is talking, why are you making such a fuss? Be content, you damned slave."

Qingqing was suddenly frightened by this and fell to her knees. Even though she was unwilling, she had to kowtow and beg for mercy.

"Please forgive me, Cairen!"

Qin Liuse, who had been sitting calmly, stood up suddenly when he saw his family being bullied.

He helped Qingqing up and said, "Why are you kowtowin'? You didn't do anything wrong."

Qin Huaijin was dissatisfied with Qin Liuse for not letting her teach the servants a lesson, "She is a servant, she is clumsy, shouldn't she be taught a lesson?"

"He is also my servant. It is not my sister's turn to take over his duties."

"You!" Qin Huaijin was choked. "People from the countryside just don't know etiquette. They take their anger out on slaves and degenerate themselves."

Qin Liuse didn't want to argue with her because of her sour words, but since she was so aggressive, she didn't need to be polite.

Qin Liuse lifted her black hair and raised her eyebrows. She looked at Qin Huaijin and said lightly, "If we talk about etiquette, it's my sister who doesn't know etiquette. I call you sister because of our nominal relationship."

Qin Liuse took a step forward, looked at Qin Huaijin and said, "Just because I call you sister, you really think you are my sister, right?"

"According to the rules of this palace, whoever enters the palace first will be the elder sister. You entered the palace later than me, and my position is higher than that of a talented person like you."

"The palace rules are strict. Who on earth doesn't know etiquette? How dare you break into my palace? I don't bother with you, but you come to bully me?"

When saying the last sentence, Qin Liuse raised her eyes to look at the maid behind Qin Huaijin, and the group of people were afraid to speak and all lowered their heads.

A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. It is true that a beauty is one rank higher than a talented person.

But Qin Liuse was not prepared to let it go as she bullied Qingqing. She still looked at her maid and asked, "Tell me, am I right? Who is the elder sister?"

Qin Liuse's words were well-reasoned. Qin Huaijin's maids looked at each other in bewilderment. Even though they lowered their heads, even though they were all Qin Huaijin's people, they did not dare to violate the rules of the palace.

If they reported this to the Shang Gong Bureau, they would all be in trouble. They quickly whispered, "Beauty, Lady Qin is right."

The maid was willing to bow her head, but Qin Huaijin was not. There was no other master here, and no one knew whether she followed the rules or not.

She waved her sleeves and went back with her maid. Before leaving, she did not forget to take away Qin Liuse's ointment and perfume.

Qingqing watched Qin Huaijin's back disappear at the door, and said speechlessly and angrily, "Qin Cairen is like this every time he comes back. He also takes away the beauty's things. How can he be like a robber? The beauty, you are the same. Why do you always give in to her?"

Qin Liuse walked back to the inner room slowly and sat down in front of the dressing table. "It's just a few bottles of perfume and lotion. We have plenty."

Develop the habit and Qin Liuse will be useful in the future.

Those perfumed lotions and creams were all made by themselves. Qin Huaijin probably thought that by using these bottles, she could be like her.

Qin Liuse picked up some ointment and rubbed it on her hands, then said slowly, "People are greedy, and my sister is jealous and likes to compare. She will fall into a trap in the future."

"Besides, even men can be polite to her, so why would she care about these insignificant little things?"

She was not afraid of this momentary courtesy, it was just a few small bottles, nothing.

--

On the other side, Qin Huaijin returned to her palace and immediately ordered her maid to apply ointment and floral dew to her.

She wiped her face, hands, feet and body herself, while the maid helped her. Then she put on gloves and socks to nourish herself, and then lay down leisurely on the beauty bed.

"Cairen, maybe these ointments next door are really useful. I've been applying them for so long, and I can see that your skin is more delicate, white and smooth than before."

Qin Huaijin also knew that Qin Liuse came from Jiangnan and knew these maintenance tips, so he went to the next door from time to time and said insincerely, "These are all lousy tricks of seductive men."

The maid smiled and said, "Our concubine is as beautiful as a fairy. She is still very beautiful even without these. Otherwise, why does the emperor only come to the harem six or seven times a month, and he has summoned our concubine to serve him twice."

Thinking of the things he did when serving Xiao Yan, Qin Huaijin couldn't help but blush.

The man was so handsome and graceful that she had never seen such a man in her life. Moreover, he was an emperor. She was so lucky that she had accumulated merits in several lifetimes to be able to serve such a man.

But when he thought of this and another thing, Qin Huaijin became a little angry.

If daddy hadn't given Qin Liuse a chance back then, there wouldn't be so many troubles now.

It would have been great if she had followed Xiao Yan in the palace.

She was obviously selected as a concubine, but she was placed in this cold palace-like place.

The beautiful ladies who came in together, at least, lived in the side halls of the concubines' palace, so the location would not be so remote.

This is the most remote palace in the entire imperial city. It is the farthest from the palace where the emperor lives and the study where state affairs are handled!

Not only are there many plants, but there are also mosquitoes in the summer. It is cool, but the emperor has his own imperial garden, so he would not come to such a remote place.

When Qin Huaijin first gained favor, he asked someone and learned that it was because Qin Liuse lived here that Concubine Dong, who was in charge of the six palaces, thought that it would be easier for the sisters to live together and take care of each other, so she assigned her here as well.

Who wants to live with her? Who has a close relationship with her?

Thinking of this, I really wanted to strangle Qin Liuse, that disaster star, to death.
