Villain, be good! I'm here to give birth to a baby [Quick Wear]

Chapter 59: The Heartless and Childless Emperor 13

There are not many concubines in the harem. Apart from Concubine Liu, there is only Concubine Yao. The difference between the two is that the former relies on her father, while the latter relies on the empress dowager.

Concubine Liu is Liu Wanqing, the daughter of the left prime minister of the current dynasty. She has a powerful family background. On her coming of age day, she met the current emperor, fell in love at first sight, and vowed to marry no one else but him.

So Prime Minister Liu used all means to send his daughter into the palace. Although he knew that the emperor was not interested in women, he always felt that entering the palace was a good choice. Even if he was not favored, it would be nice to live a happy life in this palace.

Unlike Concubine Liu, Concubine Yao Mo Yao had a humble background, and basically no one knew which family she was from. All they knew was that she had a close relationship with the Queen Mother. Seeing that she had no intention of getting married, the Queen Mother brought her into the harem and gave her a position as a concubine.

The Queen Mother had the same idea as Prime Minister Liu. Although there was no favor in the palace, she would not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of her life, nor would she have to worry about being criticized for not being able to get married when she was older. It was just right for her to have someone keep her company in the palace.

Because Emperor Li Xuanlin was different from the previous emperors. He never set foot in the harem and treated everyone equally. Naturally, people in the palace gave up the desire to compete for favor. What's more, there were so few people, so it was really deserted and lonely, with nothing to do the whole day.

Many families outside the palace wanted to send their daughters in, if for no other reason than to lead a comfortable and stable life.

Who would want to suffer and work outside every day to earn a few taels of silver, and not have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear? There are also all kinds of unspeakable bitterness when getting married. It is better to choose to come to this palace to live a quiet life without having to work.

Unfortunately, although the idea is good, this palace is not so easy to enter.

After all, the beauties in the harem exist to reproduce offspring, not to support a group of people who live a life of idleness and wait for death. Therefore, the threshold to enter is much higher. Many women cover their faces and cry because they cannot be selected into the harem.

Chu Shu, who was named a beauty, was one of the lucky ones.

Chu Shu was just a commoner. She was chosen into the palace thanks to the appreciation of Concubine Yao. Concubine Yao said a few good words to the Queen Mother, and she was able to enter the palace and was given the position of a beauty.

She was very grateful to Concubine Yao for this, and spent every day idle in Yaohua Palace. When she had nothing to do, she would either stroll around the Imperial Garden or chat with someone. She lived a comfortable and pleasant life with basically no worries.

Others might feel sad occasionally because they miss their parents, but she is different. She is an orphan and all she needs is to have food to eat.

Life in this palace is much more comfortable than outside. Only a fool would want to go outside.

When Wang Deshun asked her to go see Concubine Yao, she followed him without hesitation, jumping up and down without any girlish attitude.

After seeing the person, she hugged him without knowing her limits and said happily, "Sister, what do you want to talk to me about? Is there anything fun?"

She loves to play.

Mo Yao pulled her to sit down and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since we last met. I wanted to see how you've been doing recently. Has anyone in the palace been giving you a hard time?"

Chu Shu shook her head and smiled: "The sisters in this palace are all very nice. Some time ago, I asked Sister Liu Fei to go to the Imperial Garden together, but she seemed to be in a bad mood."

"It seems to be related to His Majesty, so I asked her to go to Yaochi to relax in the evening."

At this point, she couldn't help but frown slightly, somewhat unable to understand.

"Your Majesty has never been to the harem. She must have missed her family because she hasn't seen them for a long time. After all, Concubine Liu has always been homesick."

Mo Yao poured a cup of tea, spoke slowly, and then handed the cup to her.

"This is the famous tea 'Bai Hua Xiang' that the envoy from Langguo presented as tribute some time ago. The Queen Mother gave some to me. Now I'll let you taste it."

Chu Shu picked up the cup and took a sip, smacking her lips. She couldn't taste anything. She didn't know how to drink tea.

But she still praised it: "It is indeed a good tea, with a lingering fragrance and endless aftertaste."

"You are good at saying nice things." Mo Yao smiled and said, "But I am not here to chat with you this time. Do you remember what you asked me before?"

"……Well."

Chu Shu held his chin in his hand and thought.

She asked so many questions that I didn't know which one it was.

Seeing her like this, Mo Yao reminded her, "Do you still remember that you wanted to look for your sister?"

"Oh... oh oh!"

Chu Shu's eyes lit up, she remembered.

She was looking for her sister. Although she was an orphan, she had a vague impression that she seemed to have a sister. She wanted to find her, so she asked Sister Yaofei to help her find out some information.

But there was no news from him, and she was having a lot of fun during that time... so she forgot about it.

"Sister Yao Fei, have you found my sister?"

Chu Shu has always had no manners in her speech and has never considered herself as a concubine in the harem. She likes to call everyone "sister" and refer to herself as "I".

Fortunately, this palace is quiet and sparsely populated, so no one cares about this.

Mo Yao was used to hearing this, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She smiled gently and said, "Well, there is some news."

"I heard that the person who lives in Lanyue Tower looks 60% similar to you. I think he is most likely the person you have been looking for."

Lanyue Tower?

Chu Shu had heard of this place before. It seemed that an important person was imprisoned there. The other sisters in the palace told her not to get close to it, saying that it was very dangerous.

"Are you really in Lanyue Tower?"

Chu Shu felt that her sister shouldn't be a scary person.

"Maybe. After all, I have never seen him. I just heard someone mention that he looks similar to you."

"It's okay if you don't go. I'm just mentioning it."

"If fate allows... you might meet in the palace."

Mo Yao blew away the floating leaves on the tea and took a sip. There was a faint bitter taste that lingered between her lips and teeth, difficult to dissipate.

"Sister..." Chu Shu held his chin with both hands, thinking about the blurred figure in his memory, "Could it really be my sister?"

Mo Yao put down the teacup and looked at her calmly.

"Don't call me sister when you see me."

"It's time to call..."

"Sister."

……

"Clap-"

The porcelain cup fell to the ground, making a crisp and harsh sound.

Lin Yan bent down to pick it up, and as soon as her hand touched it, the sharp tip cut a bloody mark. The crack was shallow, but the cut was very deep, and soon gathered into a drop of blood, which fell on the broken piece of porcelain.

She retracted her hand and wiped the cut on her index finger with a handkerchief.

Just now, Lin Yan felt a little nervous for some reason and didn't hold the cup firmly.

Looking at the broken porcelain cup on the ground, she couldn't help but think deeply.

After a while, she called someone in to clean up.

Lin Yan is now free. As long as she does not leave the palace and remembers to go back to Lanyue Tower to sleep, she has no other requirements.

No one knew where Li Xuanlin had gone. She guessed that he should be reviewing memorials in Chengqian Palace. This man was very diligent and not very fond of pleasure.

In this case, it would be difficult to disturb him.

So she chose to go to the harem to meet those beauties. Li Xuanlin, a wooden man, didn't understand the fun of it, so she helped him to pamper these beauties.

At the same time, Li Xuanlin was squatting in a horse stance, his body tense, his forehead covered with sweat, but his eyes were determined.

"Your Majesty, the time is enough."

"If you continue to practice, it will damage your dragon body. You should take a break first."

Eunuch Zhao who was standing nearby spoke out anxiously. He had been serving His Majesty for several years, but he had never seen His Majesty suffer like this. He asked people to teach him martial arts for no apparent reason, and he didn't have much basic skills. He was still practicing horse stance.

Although he lasted longer each time, it was still too much torture. Your Majesty had plenty of guards and secret guards to protect him, and I don't know why he had to suffer this.

"Go light another stick of incense, and I'll stay there for a while."

Li Xuanlin just felt that this was not enough, he still needed to work harder, and he was not joking when he said that before.

He will protect her.
