The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 48

It was already very late at night when he came out of Chengqian Palace after serving the emperor in the night.

The whistling cold wind made people lose all their sleepiness all of a sudden. Although Qin Liuse had no desire to sleep tonight because of Emperor Yongjia's anger, she only felt desolate.

Coming down the stairs and walking out of the courtyard, Qin Liuse looked back and glanced at the extremely noble palace of Emperor Yongjia.

It was like a ferocious beast in the darkness, making her yearn for it and fear it at the same time.

Because of this period of time, Emperor Yongjia treated her like a treasure and doted on her so often, she actually had the illusion that Emperor Yongjia treated her differently from others.

Qin Liuse took a deep breath of the cold air to sober himself up.

Being favored is good, but like a drug, it often makes people lose consciousness.

When you are not paying attention, it is easy to develop a spoiled temper.

For example, Concubine Wen, and those who were temporarily held in the palm of the hand of Emperor Yongjia, became so proud of their status that they forgot their duties, and finally fell badly.

Although she warned herself from time to time, she was afraid that she would almost go down this path.

That's what happened tonight, I almost lost my composure.

A plaything is a plaything. Even if she is the queen, the throne can be replaced by someone else.

She, Qin Liuse, is also the same to Emperor Yongjia.

Qin Liuse turned around, boarded the sedan chair, and followed the small team moving forward in the middle of the night, disappearing into the deep palace road.

--

The day after tomorrow, the palace will set off to Famen Temple to pray for blessings.

Famen Temple is located in the suburbs of Beijing and is also a royal temple. There are many ceremonies to be attended to, so I will have to stay there for a few days.

So when they woke up the next day, the maids were busy packing boxes for Qin Liuse. The palace clothes for praying for blessings were solemn and could not be neglected for fear of something going wrong.

Also, since the main purpose of going to Famen Temple is to pray, it is not advisable to bring too many things or anything too fancy.

So Mingyue could only simplify Qin Liuse's luggage, just to ensure that her concubine's luggage was simple but still had everything she needed.

Qin Liuse had nothing to do, so after breakfast, he had to go for a walk in the garden as usual to relax and stretch his muscles.

After walking into the garden for a while, they ran into Qin Huaijin who was also walking towards them. "Sister, why are you here so early today? You are leaving for Famen Temple tomorrow, so why don't you pack your bags at Shu Yuexuan?"

Look at the way they said this, it seemed as if the two of them had a very good relationship and they even exchanged some pleasantries.

"I'm sorry for your worry, sister." Qin Liuse was also polite, at least on the surface she seemed particularly polite.

We really have to be vigilant at all times against people like Qin Huaijin, after all, she was the queen in her previous life.

What she said might not necessarily be what she really meant, and what she did might not necessarily be what she didn't want to do. In short, you just have to stay vigilant.

"Didn't sister come to take a walk in the garden? The maids will take care of tomorrow's affairs." Qin Liuse said lightly, and was about to say goodbye to Qin Huaijin.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huaijin said, "I see the weather is good today, and the plum blossoms in the garden are in full bloom. Why don't I go take a look with my sister? If we see any nice ones, we can pick some and take them to the Empress Dowager Dong's palace for her to see." Qin Huaijin said this with great filial piety.

Qin Liuse's sensitive sense of smell began to come into play. Qin Huaijin invited her to appreciate the flowers together?

This is outrageous no matter how you think about it!

Normally, Qin Huaijin was the one who looked down on her the most.

No matter her background or other things about her, he just wanted to destroy her, but he never saw her hoping for the best.

But Qin Huaijin has moved out of Dongtai and come here. If I refuse, wouldn’t it be disrespectful?

Qin Liuse had a headache. She didn't know what Qin Huaijin had suddenly gone crazy about. Or to be more precise, she didn't know what bad things Qin Huaijin was thinking about.

After thinking about it, Qin Liuse would rather bear the charge of disrespect. "No, I have something else to do in my room. I'll go back first."

There may be reasons for disrespect, but those pits that are nowhere to be found will not give her the chance to make excuses.

Who knew that Qin Huaijin was not stupid, he came up and took Qin Liuse's hand and walked together, "How can we go around the Queen Mother when we are dealing with palace matters? The Queen Mother said that she hasn't seen us for a long time and wants us to go over. Let's pick a few plum blossoms and show them to her."

Qin Liuse was speechless, helpless, and a little powerless. Qin Huaijin had said this, and if she didn't go, it would be tantamount to disobeying his order.

Therefore, I could only let her hold my arm and walk with me, but I was secretly on guard in my heart and took every step carefully.

There are more than just plum blossoms planted in the Four Seasons Garden. The reason why it is called the Four Seasons Garden is because there are beautiful scenery to enjoy in this garden all year round.

Therefore, there are trees everywhere and many landscapes, but in winter, with the snow and ice, there is a more desolate feeling.

Qin Liuse and Qin Huaijin were walking together. Just as they turned around a pavilion, they saw Wei Lanxin walking towards them surrounded by a group of people.

Wei Lanxin's posture is almost even more grand than that of the emperor's favored concubine in the palace.

The grand occasion does not just refer to the number of people, but also to the attire that Wei Lanxin was wearing. The pearl hairpins sparkled, and the gorgeous clothes were made of rare and fine material, all of which were rewards given to her by Emperor Yongjia.

I don’t know if it was because of the fall in the garden last time that Emperor Yongjia felt pity for her.

I heard that in the past two days, she was rewarded with a lot of fine things, including pearls, jade, silk and colorful clothes... Everyone in the palace felt that Wei Lanxin's status had suddenly risen, and she was more like the emperor's woman than the emperor's women.

Originally she was just a relative of Empress Dowager Dong, but now, Emperor Yongjia seemed to be planning to get his hands on the beauty.

It was Wei Lanxin's job to pay her respects to Qin Liuse and Qin Huaijin, but Qin Liuse felt that Wei Lanxin's calls of "Qin Jieyu" and "Qin Cairen" were somewhat reluctant.

That's why people say that Emperor Yongjia's favor is like poison. A few days ago, when Wei Lanxin hadn't yet entered Emperor Yongjia's face, the tone of her speech was completely different from now.

Qin Liuse accepted the gift and called Wei Lanxin affectionately, but she was thinking in her heart:

If you were taken into the possession of Emperor Yongjia tonight and became a sister in the harem, you would at most only start out as a talented woman. At worst, Emperor Yongjia would give face to Empress Dowager Dong and make Wei Lanxin a beauty. That would still be a life to live. I don't know what you are so proud of at such a young age.

Qin Liuse and Qin Huaijin were walking forward and were about to pass by Wei Lanxin, but at this moment, a black cat appeared from somewhere in front of them and suddenly pounced towards Qin Liuse and Qin Huaijin.

Qin Liuse is most afraid of this kind of black cat in her life, which is gray and full of wildness.

She was frightened for a moment and dodged to the side. Her legs felt weak when she heard the black cat's cry.

Unexpectedly, the cat grabbed her fiercely. Qin Liuse screamed and dodged to the side without any plan, and the surroundings were in chaos.

But she didn't know where the force came from, and the cat pounced on her. Qin Liuse felt herself pounce uncontrollably towards Wei Lanxin.

Good boy! Is she going to let Wei Lanxin be her meat cushion?

In an instant, Qin Liuse seemed to have figured something out. No wonder Qin Huaijin suddenly became so affectionate and warm to her as if he was so good to her.

It turned out that he was waiting for her here, playing a big game of chess.

But in a flash, Qin Liuse wanted to dodge to the side, preferring to hurt himself rather than pounce on Wei Lanxin.

But she couldn't move at all, because Wei Lanxin seemed to be extremely scared. She screamed and grabbed the collar of her clothes, and the two of them fell to the ground like a meat pie.

Of course, it was Wei Lanxin who was cushioning under her, so Qin Liuse didn't feel any pain.

Wei Lanxin immediately started howling like a ghost, but she said that she could have dodged it by herself just now, but when she thought of yesterday's revenge, and was seen by Qin Liuse falling in front of the emperor, she completely lost face.

Wei Lanxin wanted to avenge this, so she would rather suffer physical pain than hide away.
