The most beautiful lady in the harem

The back garden of Shuyuexuan is far away from the busy area of ​​the palace, so few people come here on weekdays. It is even more desolate and silent at night, without even a light.

If Qin Liuse hadn't come here sneakily in the middle of the night instead of returning to the palace, Qin Huaijin would not have followed her to see what she was doing.

"What are you doing here?"

"Sister, I drank a few glasses of wine at the banquet and I'm still not sleepy, so I came here. It's a great place to enjoy the moon. Would you like to come with us?" Qin Liuse asked kindly.

"It's pitch black. Who would come here to admire the moon? Are you planning to do something bad?" Qin Huaijin touched his sleeve and felt a little cold.

Qin Liuse looked up at the moon, pointed at it, tilted her head and said to Qin Huaijin, "I really came here to enjoy the moon. In the palace, the emperor's territory, what bad things can I do? Sister, don't judge others by yourself."

At this time, Qin Liuse was lying sideways, smiling at the moon. There was only the light of the full moon on her face, and she really looked like a fairy.

So clear, so dreamy.

But it was her indifferent expression that made Qin Huaijin even more angry.

Qin Huaijin pointed at Qin Liuse and said, "Don't keep talking to me in this tone. Who do you think you are?"

At this time, two figures were walking towards them from the side of the bamboo forest. However, there was no light here, the bamboo forest was dense, and the people who came were deliberately slowing down their movements. If they didn't listen carefully, they couldn't hear anyone coming at all.

It was Emperor Yongjia who came, accompanied by his father-in-law Zhu Wanxi.

Through the dense branches and leaves, two figures can be seen by the bridge not far away. They look like women from the palace, but their appearances cannot be seen clearly.

Yongjia Emperor's eunuch Zhu Wanxi tilted his head, and Zhu Wanxi immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Shuyuexuan nearby is where the two sisters Qin Meiren and Qin Cairen live. They are the two daughters of the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple."

Emperor Yongjia said nothing else. He knew that the women in the palace were always two-faced. He just stood there quietly without saying a word.

Qin Liuse's ears moved, knowing that someone was coming over there.

She turned slightly and said to Qin Huaijin playfully, "I'm your sister, who do you think I am?" There was some reproach in her voice, which made people feel that the cold moonlight became lovely.

Qin Huaijin hated her nonchalant attitude, "Don't think that just because your last name is Qin you are my sister. How can you compare with me when you grew up in the countryside?"

Emperor Yongjia frowned. He didn't expect that the usually gentle and vulnerable Concubine Qin could speak such harsh words. Although her tone was not fierce, she did not look very good after saying this.

"Am I not your sister?" Qin Liuse reminded her, while leading her into a trap, saying, "My name is Qin Liuse, and my sister's name is Qin Huaijin. Do you want daddy to judge whether I am the daughter of the Qin family?"

Qin Huaijin looked a little unnatural when he heard this.

Her father had warned her not to mention in the palace that Qin Liuse was not her sister. This was a crime of deceiving the emperor. Walls have ears, and if someone knew about it and leaked it out, both sisters would be in trouble.

Therefore, it was told to the outside world that Qin Liuse was a illegitimate daughter who was raised in Yangzhou, and was brought back to her family in the capital when she reached the age of marriage.

She couldn't be moved or told, otherwise when Qin Huaijin entered the palace, he wouldn't have thought of moving her out of the palace. She was just an eyesore.

Qin Huaijin snorted, afraid that there might be servants passing by, and would feel unhappy if he didn't scold her, so he said, "So what if I am the daughter of the Qin family? I grew up in the capital, under the care of my parents. Look at my name, and then look at your name, and you will know what it means to be of an illegitimate origin!"

In the dim light, Qin Liuse felt that Qin Huaijin would definitely not be able to see her smiling face at this moment.

She leaned close to Qin Huaijin's ear and said in a low but firm voice, "So what? After all, I am the daughter of the Qin family now, sister."

Qin Huaijin was about to explode when he heard this, "You are a person of unknown origin. When have you ever seen a young lady named Liu Se? She is even worse than a singing girl. What a frivolous bumpkin."

"A name is just a code name. Sister, you don't know how many women in this world don't even have names. They can only be called Auntie, Second Auntie, or Third Auntie according to their birth order. Until they die, their names become their husband's family name. I am content with that." Qin Liuse said this like a willow tree by the lake, weak but firm.

Even Emperor Yongjia could not help but raise an eyebrow at her insight. Many women in this world really don't even have names. They are just like flowers on the roadside, beautiful but no one will remember that they have been here.

"A petty person is a petty person. Do you know how my name came from? 'Holding the jade in my arms, I cannot find what I am looking for', which comes from the Nine Chapters of Chu Ci. Unlike you, a bastard is a bastard, and even your name sounds like something you picked up from the street."

Qin Liuse just hoped that she could speak louder so that the emperor in the woods beside her could hear everything.

Emperor Yongjia himself was born out of wedlock and was not favored.

In his previous life, after he ascended the throne, he never paid attention to the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, nor did he care about family background. This is why he was able to attract so many talented and ambitious people to work for him.

Now hearing Qin Huaijin say this, it was tantamount to trying to put pressure on him.

In the bamboo forest, not only Emperor Yongjia, but even Zhu Wanxi frowned and shook their heads secretly after hearing this. How could Qin Boyuan, that old fox, raise two such different daughters?

But on second thought, she felt that this Concubine Qin was probably very much like her father, saying one thing in public and another behind the scenes. When Concubine Qin was serving the Emperor in bed, she did not speak like that.

Most of the women in the harem are like this, and Zhu Wanxi is used to it.

At the end, Qin Liuse's eyes were misty as she said, "Sister, I have always had a question. Why is it that among so many sisters in the palace, my sister always picks on me? I am not favored, and I don't provoke my sister. Why is that?"

Qin Huaijin sneered, "Because what you have now should have been mine! If it weren't for you, I should be living in a magnificent palace instead of this shabby and remote Shu Yuexuan."

Qin Liuse continued to ask, "I think Shu Yuexuan is pretty good. He is far away from the hustle and bustle and has his own unique seclusion."

"Where is it good? When the emperor is seduced by other vixens, he won't even have a place to cry. This is a shabby place, the emperor won't come here, and when the emperor only has eyes for other vixens, I don't think it's good. If it weren't for you, Concubine Dong said that two sisters can take care of each other, why would I live here?"

Qin Liuse sighed and said, "Sister, you think too much. The emperor has his heart in his heart, not just this small harem. In his eyes, there is the country and the people."

"We can help the emperor with his worries, but if we can't, we shouldn't make things difficult for him. A weary bird returns to its nest. This is where the emperor lives and relaxes. If he really wants to come, he will come no matter how far away he is."

This was the conclusion Qin Liuse came to after observing for a long time in her previous life. Emperor Yongjia had always been indifferent to the harem. Later, he made Qin Huaijin the queen because she pretended well, did not cause trouble, did not provoke trouble, and was able to smooth things over.

He always started trouble behind the scenes and used other people's backs to kill people. Emperor Yongjia didn't like to get involved in women's affairs, so the harem in his previous life was not frequent.

After hearing this, Qin Huaijin felt that Qin Liuse was being fake, so he scolded her a few words and turned away, "Only a fool would come to this shabby place. If you like to enjoy the moon, enjoy it to your heart's content."

Qin Liuse was secretly delighted in her heart. It turned out that it was most effective to treat others in their own way.

Even she couldn't stand using Qin Huaijin's tactics against herself.

Qin Liuse stood there thinking for a long time. For a moment, he didn't care that the emperor was standing in the woods and didn't want to make room for him. If he wanted to come out, he could come out. If he didn't want to come out, he could just stand there.

Zhu Wanxi in the forest wanted to go out to clear the area, but was stopped by Emperor Yongjia, "Go back and don't bother me."

Zhu Wanxi knew that Emperor Yongjia would be in a bad mood on August 15th, so he didn't dare to say anything more. He just bowed and left.

"Beauty, should we go back? It's late at night and a bit cold." Aunt Mingyue reminded Qin Liuse.

Qin Liuse was intoxicated by the night and whispered softly, "Let me stay a little longer."

Mingyue didn't know that the emperor was in the woods. She just thought that she came out to admire the moon for fun, but Qin Liuse was indeed intoxicated by the moonlight.

She walked slowly up the cave bridge, where a stream of water flowed through. On both sides were golden osmanthus trees. The autumn breeze blew the air to her nose. She couldn't help but look at the moon and take a deep breath.

While she was concentrating on appreciating the moon, Emperor Yongjia was admiring her in the woods.

When he entered the Yuanyue Pavilion tonight, he noticed that she was dressed differently from the other concubines. The other concubines were all dressed in extremely beautiful clothes, but she was wearing a crescent-shaped light yellow dress.

Now, under the moon, by the water, on the bridge, you can see that the tender yellow mud and gold palace gauze skirt seems to be glowing.

She was dressed simply, with only a light green ribbon two palms wide holding her dress up.

Summer clothes are thin, and when you stand facing the wind, you can see the palace gauze sticking to the exquisite body.

A cool breeze blew, bringing with it the scent of osmanthus. What was rare was that there was no strong scent of woman's rouge. She was just like a fairy who was isolated from the world and was about to fly towards the Moon Palace in the next moment.

Emperor Yongjia always felt uneasy on the 15th day of the eighth month every year, but when he saw her standing under the moon at this time, his uneasy feeling actually subsided a lot.

He even had the leisure to admire her budding body. As for this woman, Emperor Yongjia was sure that he had never summoned her to sleep with him.

That slender waist, with smooth and curved curves, is full and elastic, but without a trace of worldliness.

One can't help but think that this waist must be extremely flexible.

It is so extraordinary that it makes people want to blaspheme it.

Emperor Yongjia raised his feet and started walking out without slowing down his steps.

Mingyue, who was standing under the bridge, had sharp eyes and ears, and said to Qin Liuse on the bridge, "Beauty, someone is coming."

Meeting anyone in the palace in the middle of the night, no matter if it is a man or a woman, would be bad if it got out.

Although Qin Liuse knew who it was, he regained his senses at this time and followed Mingyue's instructions, pretending to be in a hurry and hurried down the bridge.

After hearing Mingyue's words, he hurried back to Shuyuexuan.

Emperor Yongjia watched the beautiful figure hurriedly fleeing and disappearing into the bamboo forest. He stood under the bridge and stared at her, his first smile of the night revealed.

Qin Liuse had no intention of playing with the emperor's heart, but she couldn't guess the king's heart. However, she knew that if it was so easy to get, it would always be worthless.

In his previous life, the Dog Emperor had never been loyal to anyone. Although she did not expect long-lasting love, she had to at least drag it out a little longer so that she would have more bargaining chips.

If she was exactly the same as the other concubines who slept with him, Emperor Yongjia would certainly not cherish her. After weighing the pros and cons, she did not meet him.
