The most beautiful lady in the harem

But on second thought, this is a good idea.

In this way, it would be best if Qin Liuse could never see the emperor, but she still couldn't resist being favored.

When Qin Huaijin thought of that man, he admired and loved him, but was more afraid of him. The emperor's majesty was truly unmatched.

Every time she went to bed with the emperor, she was extremely scared. The emperor didn't say much and his face had no expression. When they were doing that, he didn't like to listen to her, and treated it as a business matter.

But most emperors are so cold-faced.

He must like her serving him, otherwise he wouldn't let her serve him twice a month.

Although he didn't say anything and the two of them had almost no communication, Qin Huaijin couldn't help blushing when he thought of the emperor's body and the power in him.

He could not help but wave his hand and ordered the maid, "Apply more, apply more, apply it everywhere."

She wants to make the emperor unable to stop wanting her!

--

After Qin Liuse "recovered from her illness", she would walk around in Shu Yuexuan's yard from time to time.

The days passed in leisure day after day.

July passed quickly, and she still hadn't met the emperor, nor had the emperor summoned her to sleep with him.

However, Qin Huaijin from next door was summoned again.

Qingqing and Zijin were both very anxious, but Aunt Mingyue still stayed by Qin Liuse's side every day, as relaxed as an old monk in meditation.

"My beauty, why aren't you anxious? Seeing that the new emperor has been on the throne for so long, everything has stabilized, but we are still the same. Half of this year has passed, and it will soon be over."

On an August night, the sky is far away and clear, with a crescent moon hanging high in the sky.

Qin Liuse looked at the bright moon in the sky and said, "Don't worry, let's wait a little longer."

Still waiting?

Seeing that her beauty was unmoved, Qingqing could not help but ask Mingyue for help, "Aunt Mingyue, please persuade the beauty. It would be strange if she could see the emperor if she stayed in Shuyue Pavilion every day!"

Mingyue stood behind Qin Liuse, gently patting her back, and said with a smile, "Miss Qingqing, don't try to win me over. The beauty and I are on the same side. If the beauty says there is no hurry, then I am not in a hurry. In this palace, you can't get favor quickly. It's not difficult to favor someone, but how to make them last is difficult."

She knew that Qingqing Zijin was envious of the rewards given to her neighbors every day, but what was the use? Which concubine who was in favor did not receive such constant gifts?

Although the emperor sent gifts to show his favor, they were of ordinary quality and were given after sleeping with the emperor. They were almost routine gifts.

But how many can last?

What will happen when the prosperity is gone?

The emperor's heart is as deep as the sea, and there is really no way to rush him.

Zijin was not unaware of these principles. She was older than Qingqing and about the same age as Qin Liuse, but she was still in her twenties and understood more than Qingqing.

But no one was as calm as the master and Mingyue.

"My beauty, Qingqing is worried because she sees that the food and clothing expenses in our courtyard have been getting worse day by day these days." Zijin said, twisting his handkerchief.

From the time she entered the palace until now, especially when the concubines entered the palace and her own beauty claimed to be ill, the world is truly fickle.

People left, and their food, clothing and other expenses were all reduced by those snobs.

A concubine's life is worse than that of a favored concubine's servant.

Qin Liuse also felt sorry for his family. "Thank you for accompanying me through these days. I know you won't leave me, but I'm afraid we'll have to endure this for a while longer."

She had some plans in mind, but didn't want to say it out loud and cause them more worries.

Qin Liuse thought for a moment, opened her dressing box, took out some small pearl and jade jewelry that she seldom wore on weekdays, and asked Mingyue to take out some silver coins.

"Everyone in this palace is snobbish, but no one would have a problem with silver and money. These are small amounts of money, suitable for giving to others as a favor on a daily basis. You can all keep some with you and use them when necessary."

Several people were reluctant to take it, so Qin Liuse distributed it one by one and stuffed it into their hands, "Take it. Money is something outside of your body, it doesn't matter whether you are willing to give it up or not. I don't wear it much on weekdays, so it's useless to keep it. If it can help you get favors, then it will be of some use."

"But these are all brought by the beauty from Yangzhou. They were given by the master and the lady. They are all made by our skilled craftsmen in Yangzhou. They are all exquisite. Many of them are specially tailored for the beauty by the master. How can I bear to give them away?"

Zijin followed here from Yangzhou, so he knew everything clearly.

Qin Liuse looked at her face and remembered that she was reborn. She figured it out and knew that her father was heartless and ungrateful, but Zijin didn't know about it.

He smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Jewelry is worn every year. What you didn't wear last year is out of fashion this year and is not good enough in this palace. No matter how exquisite it is, it can be as good as the things from the Shanggong Bureau. Jewelry is dead and can only be used like money."

Although Zijin was reluctant, he felt that it made sense.

Qingqing is quite clever. "Now that the beauty is in Shuyuexuan, she can't go to the emperor. There is no point in keeping these jewels. It's better to open them up as much as possible. If she is favored, she will still need these."

Qin Liuse smiled when she heard this. Yes, if there was a favorite, I’m afraid this house wouldn’t be able to hold all these jewels.

Sure enough, once the money was spent, the next few days were much better.

There is more meat in the daily meals and the rice tastes better.

Qingqing was smart and generous. She spent her money and made "friends" with many eunuchs and maids.

I wanted to know what happened in the palace today and who slept with the emperor. I also found out that there would be a family dinner in the palace on August 15th, the Autumn Eve.

This was the first lively event after Emperor Yongjia ascended the throne, so the palace attached great importance to it.

Even the neglected Shu Yuexuan was notified by someone from the Shanggong Bureau, saying that Concubine Qin would also attend the palace banquet.

Qingqing started to get anxious. The palace banquet was a great opportunity.

"Lady Qin next door has been preparing new clothes for the palace banquet since last month. Our beauties can't lose!" Qingqing wondered, they lost at the starting line, others knew it faster than them!

He opened the wardrobe and started to worry again. Qin Liuse had not been favored in the past few months, so there were no good materials and no good clothes were delivered from the Clothing Bureau.

Seeing that all the palaces have started to distribute autumn clothes, but this also depends on the emperor's favor. Those snobs in the Shanggong Bureau, those that were distributed to Shu Yuexuan were naturally the leftovers of others.

After searching for a long time, I couldn't find any clothes that could outshine all the others.

"Forget it, it's just a piece of clothing. We have plenty of clothes. Just pick something similar and make it new again after some alterations."

Qingqing was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but Qin Liuse remained very calm.

"Are we going to be overwhelmed by others? This is a rare opportunity to see the emperor. I don't know when the next time will be!" Qingqing muttered.

"Are you worried about this?" Qin Liuse has been practicing calligraphy when he has nothing to do recently. He is not favored by others, and the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone sent by the Shangyi Bureau are very rough, but they can be used.

She dipped the ink in the ink and said, "Don't worry. Our emperor doesn't have such an intention. It's not as simple as taking down a piece of clothing."

She said it calmly, and Qingqing didn't believe it at first, but when she saw the sunlight from the window shining on her face, her long and narrow eyelashes curled upwards, filling the sunlight, just a profile of her face made Qingqing intoxicated, and she couldn't help but believe in her own beauty.

Zijin doesn't like dealing with people like Qingqing, but she has her own uses.

She used the jewelry Qin Liuse gave her to bribe some people who were allowed to enter and leave the palace, and bought a lot of spices and medicinal herbs. She had been taking care of Qin Liuse's daily life since she was a child, so she used the little money she had to buy Qin Liuse a lot of ointments and perfumes.

Aunt Mingyue was not idle either. After all, she was an old member of the palace. She was one of the people who entered the palace together. Now, more than ten years have passed, and some of them have been on duty in the Jingshifang.

His mouth was pried open with money. After getting the news, he rushed back to Shu Yuexuan and whispered to Qin Liuse, "Beauty, my fellow countryman who entered the palace with me before is now in charge of the matters of the Book of Grace. I gave her some money and asked her to find out for me. Then I found out that the beauty's green card was never put up at all!"

It would be really weird if this could be turned over!

Qingqing stamped her feet in anger. "I said, the beauty originally came from the palace, and the people in the Jingshifang should have given the emperor a heads-up. How come she seems to have been forgotten? Who on earth has such a grudge against our beauty?"

"This is really too much." Zijin thought for a moment, "Could it be the talented person next door?"

Reaching so deep?

Qin Liuse thought about it and shook her head, "She probably doesn't have that ability yet."
