Chapter 230 Ready to try
Qin Liuse put her hand on the back of Concubine Xiao De's hand, "Sister, are you still thinking about him?"
Concubine Xiao De shook her head somewhat embarrassedly. "It's been so long, but... not having it will always be a knot in my heart."
This is truly rational, Qin Liuse thought to himself. Even while thinking about that person, he could still analyze himself in this way.
However, since Concubine Xiao De said so, and she is a smart person, and Qin Liuse is also a smart person, when smart people talk to each other, there won’t be so many beating around the bush, so Qin Liuse didn’t mention it.
After finishing her work at Concubine Xiao De's place, Qin Liuse led her maidservants back to Zhaoyang Palace according to the weather.
Along the way, Qin Liuse was thinking about Concubine Xiao De and Yan Shouyu, and sighed in his heart that if he had been as objective and rational as Concubine Xiao De in his previous life, he would not have ended up like that.
It is true that destiny is never in our control.
When they walked to a small garden and passed by a rockery, Qin Liuse accidentally overheard the conversation of several concubines in the garden pavilion.
"I'm right, aren't I? Earlier you even guessed that Qin Zhaoyi could completely win over the emperor's heart."
"I was just guessing, who knew that I would be led astray by Liu Cairen." In fact, there was another reason why she made that guess at the beginning, which was to direct the criticism towards Qin Liuse.
Emperor Yongjia's heart was won over? Just thinking about it, you know it's difficult. There are so many women in the harem. Even if he wants to, others will have opinions.
So, what she said at the beginning was just out of jealousy, and she was deliberately praising Qin Liuse. So now that Liu Yiyi has been favored, she started to be sarcastic again.
"Does that mean that Concubine Liu will be favored again? She is obviously older than us, but she has to pretend to be so innocent and weak. It's annoying to see her like that."
"Liu Cairen is older than you, but she is one year younger than me. But I am annoyed by her. What difference can one or two years make? She always has to act so pretentiously, as if she needs others to protect her even if there is a mosquito!"
"That's not true. I don't know how she hooked up with the emperor in bed! I don't know when she will be done with it. She won't become the second Qin Zhaoyi, will she?"
"That's hard to say. If I were like the others, and violated the emperor's taboos, or did something that the emperor didn't like, I could fall out of favor at any time."
"Liu Baolin and Wen Cairen have committed these things. I wonder if Liu Cairen has..."
Qin Liuse originally wanted to go out, but after hearing the following words, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Emperor Yongjia’s taboo?
If Emperor Yongjia was unaware of Concubine Xiao De's affair, then this would definitely be the best weapon for him to fall out of favor.
And what about herself?
Because he was still thinking about this matter, Qin Liuse didn't leave until the concubines in the pavilion had walked away talking.
It was only when Qingqing saw that she was lost in thought that she called out "Zhaoyi", and only then did Qin Liuse come to her senses and move forward.
These noble ladies usually act so polite and dignified, and so well-read, but in private, they always think of ways to harm others.
Qin Liuse returned to Zhaoyang Palace. While waiting for the maids to prepare dinner, she leaned against the window alone, too lazy to move.
Occasionally, I looked up at the snow on the eaves outside the window, my thoughts still immersed in what they had just said.
Although they were talking about everyone, Qin Liuse couldn't help but think of herself.
I just thought those people were very vicious, that's why they wanted to collect other people's fatal flaws in order to bring them down.
However, when walking in this harem, one does have to be on guard against everything, and Qin Liuse couldn't help but think of himself.
If it was her, did she have any weakness that could be killed in one blow?
If it really existed and was found, then her good days would indeed be over.
Qin Liuse was lost in thought when she heard some noise in the yard. She looked outside and saw that it was Emperor Yongjia who had arrived.
Qin Liuse then regained his composure and went outside to meet Emperor Yongjia.
"How come the Emperor has time to come to my place so early in the morning?"
"I'm free, so I came to see you." Emperor Yongjia reached out to hold Qin Liuse's hand, "Come to my place."
Qin Liuse tugged at Emperor Yongjia's hand, unwillingly, "I have almost served all the dishes."
She had just been by the window and could smell the delicious food.
Emperor Yongjia glanced behind him, then turned and told Zhu Wanxi, "Send them all to Chengqian Palace."
Qin Liuse curled her lips. She had to admit that with Emperor Yongjia doing this, she really had no reason not to go.
This is the advantage of living close nowadays. Emperor Yongjia can come over from time to time and put the food in the insulated food boxes over to him while it is still hot.
In addition to the dinner sent to Zhaoyang Palace by the Shangshi Bureau, Qin Liuse now lives alone in the palace and does not have to share the small kitchen with others. Whenever she wants to eat something, she will ask Aunt Mingyue to cook it.
The maids opened the food boxes and laid out the dinner brought from Zhaoyang Palace.
Because Emperor Yongjia also had his own table of dishes, the table was full for dinner tonight.
Qin Liuse picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised eggplant for Emperor Yongjia. "This is a home-cooked dish made in my own small kitchen. Your Majesty often eats it."
It is said that dishes like eggplant, which consume a lot of oil, are very popular among meat-eating men like Emperor Yongjia.
Moreover, eggplant goes well with rice, and Emperor Yongjia ate almost half a plate in no time.
Qin Liuse likes to eat simple home-cooked meals, so the small kitchen usually makes these dishes. By chance, they caught the taste of Emperor Yongjia.
In addition to the braised eggplant, there are also shredded pork with fish flavor, stir-fried bean sprouts, and golden soup tofu and sauerkraut fish, which are all delicious.
Qin Liuse ate a whole bowl of white rice by himself. Emperor Yongjia ate quickly and swept away half of the dishes on the table.
The other half of the table was mostly untouched, and it was his own dishes.
After finishing their meal, the two of them rinsed their mouths and washed their hands. Then Emperor Yongjia took Qin Liuse for a walk in the yard outside to help digest the food.
After walking for less than half an hour, Emperor Yongjia wanted to pull Qin Liuse into the house.
Qin Liuse certainly knew what he was going to do.
She was unwilling to stay in Zhaoyang Palace, so she was tricked into coming here. She still remembered that a few nights ago, Emperor Yongjia complained that her bed in Zhaoyang Palace was not big enough.
Qin Liuse rolled her eyes in her heart, but since Emperor Yongjia’s daily “activities” were unshakable, she had no choice but to follow his lead.
For some reason, Emperor Yongjia has been fascinated by Qin Liuse's style recently.
It's not that he didn't like her as before, but Qin Liuse has been so gentle and carefree recently that he just wants to live with her in this bed.
Qin Liuse kissed her again and again. When she sat up, her whole face and body were red. Her bellyband was half covering her face, and she was still shy.
Emperor Yongjia raised his hands slightly so that her hands had a place to rest.
Qin Liuse held his hand with an unbearable look on her face, and asked from time to time with a broken face, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Emperor Yongjia moved, looked at her with a dark voice, "What do you think?"
……
After making a fuss for half the night, Qin Liuse lay exhausted on Emperor Yongjia. She had originally wanted to serve him with less suffering, but in the end it seemed that she suffered even more.
Moreover, Qin Liuse also keenly noticed that Emperor Yongjia seemed to enjoy his service.
Look, I’m eager to try again.
Qin Liuse was anxious, and she held down the rebellious hand of Emperor Yongjia, saying, "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you!"
