The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 367 Hug the thigh

That night, Qin Liuse finally had a good sleep.

Perhaps it was because she felt that her fate with Emperor Yongjia was over, so it was not difficult for her to give up this position that everyone envied.

The next morning, Qin Liuse got up early. Just after the hour of Mao, she stood up and asked the maid to help her rinse her mouth and dress up.

In fact, she had figured it out last night. Since Emperor Yongjia left in such a rage, she was afraid that the imperial edict to demote her would arrive at the Zhaoyang Palace this morning.

Qin Liuse got up early just to wait for this moment to come.

However, he did not expect that after waiting from the morning hour to the evening hour, from the early morning breeze carrying morning dew to the warm breeze, there was no news that Zhu Wanxi would come to announce the decree.

However, after the first quarter of the Si hour, news came that Emperor Yongjia's troops had left the palace for the hunting grounds.

However, although Emperor Yongjia did not issue an edict, the problem between Qin Liuse and Emperor Yongjia was not hidden because of Emperor Yongjia's ambiguous attitude, and soon everyone in the harem knew about it.

Because on this morning, the concubine who followed Emperor Yongjia on the autumn hunt was Liu Yiyi.

Therefore, as soon as Emperor Yongjia's entourage left the palace, the news spread throughout the harem like wings.

Qin Liuse was not surprised at all. If she didn't go, Emperor Yongjia would always find someone to go with him.

And now, Liu Yiyi is indeed second only to herself, and is considered the concubine who is slightly more favored by Emperor Yongjia.

I don't know if Liu Yiyi will take my place now that I've fallen out of favor...

Qin Liuse's heart was calm at the moment, and he even lost interest in all these things.

After listening to what Xiao Fuzi said, Qin Liuse drank a cup of milk tea, then put down the teacup and went outside to the yard to accompany the two children to bask in the sun.

Before yesterday, I woke up in Chengqian Palace every day, but today, it was in Zhaoyang Palace. Although it was only one day apart, the situation and scene were completely different.

There is also an advantage to not having to accept favor, and that is that Qin Liuse's own time suddenly becomes extremely abundant.

After playing with the little prince and princess for a whole day, the two of them would stick to their mother and sleep together even at night.

This is the innocence and cuteness of the little baby. Although the little baby cannot express who accompanies him and treats him well, he knows it very clearly and always expresses it very directly.

At the moment, Qin Liuse enjoys the child's following and clinging to her the most.

Qin Liuse did not leave Zhaoyang Palace that day.

Because she knew what they would say when she met people outside today. They would ask her about her relationship with Emperor Yongjia in a roundabout way. If they confirmed that she had really fallen out of favor, they would be sarcastic one by one.

Although he didn't go out, there was a special gossipmonger in Zhaoyang Palace.

Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Baoer often walked outside. At lunch time, they would come running back in a hurry, "Mother, Mother!"

It was almost noon and Qin Liuse was having lunch. Seeing how anxious the two people looked, she thought something had happened and her heart was in her throat.

Qin Liuse put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, looked at the two of them, and asked, "What happened?"

Emperor Yongjia is not in the imperial city right now, so if anything happens, he will have to come to her to handle it.

Seeing Qin Liuse's anxious face, Xiao Fuzi thought she had frightened her, so she wiped her sweat and said, "My queen, it's okay!"

"What do you mean nothing? There is something wrong, and it's a big deal!" Xiao Baoer patted Xiao Fuzi and said, "Your Majesty, it's Your Majesty Shufei..."

When he said this, Xiao Baoer paused for a moment, and then said in a somewhat frightened tone, "The Concubine Shu is gone! She is gone!... I heard that the Emperor gave her poisoned wine last night, and she was carried out this morning."

Do it silently.

When Qin Liuse heard this, her heart couldn't help but move, her eyelashes trembled, and she was stunned for a moment.

On the one hand, it was a relief, but on the other hand, thinking about what happened last night... I couldn't help wondering for a moment whether Emperor Yongjia had originally intended to sentence Concubine Xin to death, or whether it was because of what she said last night...

She couldn't confirm whether her decision was wise or not, but she didn't regret it at all.

Qin Liuse didn't want to think about it anymore, so he nodded, let the two of them go have lunch, and then he continued to have lunch.

-

On the second day, Qin Liuse finally went out. It was not her style to stay indoors. After staying in the palace for a day yesterday, she had almost dealt with her emotions. Today, she had to go to Concubine Xiao De's palace for a walk.

There are three little princesses in Concubine Xiao De's palace. Unlike the quiet place in the past, it is now very lively and there is chattering everywhere early in the morning.

Qin Liuse brought the little prince and princess over. With the addition of the little babies, the place suddenly became even more lively.

Concubine Xiao De had two rose chairs moved in and placed in the corridor of the side hall, and also had a four-legged black lacquered square table moved out. The maid who served tea immediately came up with tea sets and snacks.

The two of them sat under the porch, drinking tea and watching the little princess and prince playing in the yard.

Concubine Xiao De picked up the teacup and took a sip. She looked at the children jumping around in the yard under the sun, and with a smile on her face, she talked to Qin Liuse about what happened in the past two days. "I was worried that they would not be used to living with me after leaving their mother. I didn't expect that with three people around, there wouldn't be much noise."

Qin Liuse took out an almond from the box, put it in her mouth, and said with a smile, "Children are like this, they love to be noisy, and they forget about the world when they have company. Princesses Anle and Ningle were originally with their wet nurse, and Concubine Shu and Concubine Li didn't bring many with them. As long as the wet nurse is here, I think they will be fine after a while of making a fuss."

Concubine Xiao De nodded. To these royal disciples, the wet nurse was sometimes closer to them than their biological mother.

It is really tiring to raise a child personally, so many concubines, in order to win favor, did not do everything themselves, and the children naturally became closer to their wet nurses.

"Did anyone give you any trouble when you left the palace today?" asked Concubine Xiao De.

Concubine Xiao De never knew how to comfort others, nor was she an eloquent person. The news that Emperor Yongjia took Liu Yiyi on the autumn hunt had spread throughout the harem, and of course she knew about it. Naturally, she also guessed that something had happened between Emperor Yongjia and Qin Liuse.

But she didn't like prying into other people's private affairs, and didn't know how to ask, so she asked this question instead.

Qin Liuse smiled and shook his head. It was true that Emperor Yongjia took Liu Yiyi on the autumn hunt, but it seemed that the statement to the outside world was that Qin Liuse was unwell.

Every concubine I met when leaving the palace today had to ask her a question or two about her health.

Qin Liuse couldn't ruin Emperor Yongjia's reputation, so he pretended to cough twice and said that he was generally well.

Even if Emperor Yongjia returned to the palace in the future and she really fell out of favor, as long as Emperor Yongjia did not kick her out of the position of Imperial Noble Consort for the time being, the concubines in the harem would not dare to be unruly in front of her, let alone embarrass her.

As she walked along the road in the morning, she met someone who dared to ask her questions, and that was Qin Huaijin.

However, Qin Huaijin was now just a concubine and did not dare to speak rudely.

She knew that it was beyond her ability to annoy Qin Liuse. What made her even angrier than being angry at Qin Liuse was that Emperor Yongjia brought Liu Yiyi with him this time.

Qin Huaijin ran into Qin Liuse on the palace road this morning, and said sarcastically, "Sister, you really feel sorry for the Imperial Concubine. She got sick for no reason, and the Emperor was abducted by Concubine Liu!"

"The autumn hunt this year lasted for so many days, probably half a month. This time the emperor only brought Concubine Liu with him. Who knows how the emperor will hold Concubine Liu in high esteem when she returns this time."

How could Qin Liuse not hear the gunpowder of sowing discord in her words? Qin Huaijin said this just to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Liu Yiyi will come back in a few days, so that Qin Liuse can vent his anger.

Qin Liuse immediately asked the wet nurse to take the two little masters to Concubine Xiao Defei's palace. The one-year-old babies could already understand words and read adults' attitudes and expressions, so she didn't want to let them get involved in this mess too early.

After they walked away, Qin Liuse looked at Qin Huaijin and said, "Sister, you are absolutely right. This time, Lady Liu will accompany the emperor to the hunting ground, and she will have to deal with the ministers and their wives."

"The emperor is willing to take Concubine Liu with him because he thinks she can help him deal with these matters. As for what will happen in the future, who knows? Now that Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian are gone, there are two vacant positions. The emperor can promote whoever he likes. I will obey the emperor."

The ministers followed the emperor into the mountains to hunt, but most of the female members of the family were weak and would not go into the mountains.

Therefore, when Liu Yiyi went back this time, she would naturally have tea and chat with the ministers and their relatives, and behave in a royal manner.

Thinking about this time, Liu Yiyi alone represented all the concubines in the harem, and was naturally the center of attention among the female members of the harem, which made Qin Huaijin even more angry.

……

After hearing this, Concubine Xiao De couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Qin Liuse was sharp-tongued and clever, and she always knew how to make others angry.

The teapot was empty, so she called the maid to add more tea. She smiled and shook her head, saying, "Everyone thinks that going with the emperor on the autumn hunt is an honor, but they don't know that this job is not easy. Those ministers and their wives are not fools. They are more sharp-eyed and smarter than each other."

After a pause, he continued, "I noticed that this time, Liu Cairen didn't have the ease that others envied."

When dealing with the circle of nobles in the capital, it is natural that everyone has more thoughts than the other.

This time, Emperor Yongjia did not bring the Imperial Noble Consort Qin Liuse with him, but instead brought the talented woman Liu Yiyi. Naturally, the female relatives were confused and had to wonder what this meant.

Qin Liuse was favored in the harem, and that was something the whole court knew. After all, she was the future queen, so she should have brought Qin Liuse along for the autumn hunt, but she didn't expect to bring along the rarely heard of Talented Lady Liu.

Who is this person? Perhaps many female relatives don't know, but since Emperor Yongjia brought her here, it can only mean that at least this concubine has some status in front of Emperor Yongjia.

But this position is somewhat embarrassing.

If Qin Liuse fell out of favor, then Liu Yiyi would naturally be the one that everyone should cling to.

But at the moment, there is no news that the Imperial Concubine has fallen out of favor.

Each of these women is cunning and snobbish.

He was worried that if he got too close to Concubine Liu, the news would spread and he would offend the Imperial Noble Concubine.

Is it worth it for a unknown talent?

But if I don't hold her in high esteem, if Qin Liuse really falls out of favor, I'm worried that I won't be able to seize the opportunity.

The man accompanied Emperor Yongjia on hunting trips and had his own world.

These female relatives are not idle either. Women also have their own battlefields and have to provide support for their husbands.

The best way is naturally to establish a good relationship with the person next to Emperor Yongjia.

Unable to grasp Emperor Yongjia's intentions at the moment, these people could only treat him politely and not flatter him too much.
