"I made the queen worry again. I shouldn't have gone to the pond to look at the flowers."
Jing Zhao blinked, feeling so guilty.
In fact, he was just looking at the beautiful flowers blooming in the pond, thinking how great it would be if he could pick them and give them to Taoyao.
I just didn't expect that when today passed by, for some reason, it suddenly slipped and fell.
"Okay, okay, I don't blame you at all. You are already very good and obedient. It doesn't matter. You don't have to feel guilty. Just take good care of yourself."
Taoyao quickly touched Jing Zhao's face and comforted her gently.
Jing Zhao was really well-behaved and obedient when he stayed by his side, which was really rare for a child.
After being comforted, Jing Zhao felt warm in his heart. After drinking the medicine, he fell asleep again.
Taoyao's expression immediately changed as soon as she went out. In front of Jing Zhao, she only wanted to be gentle and gentle, but when she went out, her eyes were filled with coldness.
"What happened today was clearly intentional. What do you think we should do?"
Chuxue was indignant. It seemed that everyone in the palace had heard the news and said that His Majesty had slowly become cold towards the empress, and now he immediately bullied her again. I really can't imagine what will happen in the future.
"It is indeed intentional, but even if His Majesty finds out, nothing will happen to him. Your Majesty doesn't like him in the first place."
Taoyao sighed.
In the past few days, everything in the harem was still peaceful and peaceful.
But the queen always had a bad premonition for no reason. Her majesty had indeed been accompanying Yue Rao these days, but she always felt that something was wrong. She couldn't explain what was wrong.
So after the concubines paid their respects, Yue Rao was left alone.
"What's going on? Is His Majesty treating you better than Tao Yao?" the queen asked worriedly.
"Queen, don't worry. Your Majesty already likes me very much. As long as I get along with you a lot, I believe that in your heart, I will be able to surpass the status of Concubine Rong."
Yuelao was dressed very exquisitely and gorgeously. It was obvious that she was favored by Emperor Xuan, and the best proof was that she wore gold and silver.
"What method did you use to seduce people's hearts so much?"
The queen couldn't help but feel jealous the next second. When she first thought of this move, she was a little unhappy. Who really wants to send a beauty to her husband?
But I had no choice but to take risks and do this, but now even if I succeeded, I feel a little jealous.
"Didn't the Queen say that I am beautiful? In addition, when I get along with His Majesty, I am well-behaved and obedient. In the long run, Your Majesty will definitely like me."
Yue Rao lowered his head, his eyes evasive.
The queen had never noticed this. Now when she heard these words when she was feeling unhappy, her face became even colder.
"No wonder someone born in a brothel is naturally good at seducing people."
The queen sarcastically said, no matter how high the kite flies, the string will always be in her hand.
Pull it off whenever you want, then pull it off when you want.
Yue Rao's face suddenly became embarrassed. This was her biggest pain point.
I thought I would get everything I wanted by working for the queen, but I would be humiliated by her like this from time to time. But I really feel aggrieved.
"I know that you have indeed completed the task assigned by me, and you have indeed become the one who is most beloved by His Majesty, but don't be complacent. Don't think that you can do whatever you want now that you are His Majesty's favorite concubine!"
The queen looked at Yue Rao and threatened coldly.
"Don't forget your own origins, and don't imagine that you can step on my head like Concubine Rong!"
"I would like to ask the queen to be clear. I really don't dare to have such thoughts. Everything I have now is given by the queen. How can I dare to disobey the queen?"
Yue Rao quickly expressed her loyalty. She really did not dare to resist now, and she had no qualifications to resist.
Because it is very clear how he got all the favor now.
But there was no way, really no way. She had been pushed too hard, not to mention that she was also greedy for this feeling of being favored.
Nowadays, I don't even dare to live a life of wealth and gold, which I really didn't dare to think about before. I really want to maintain it all.
On the other hand, he could only grovel in front of the queen and compromise.
"Seeing that you are well-behaved and obedient, I won't make things difficult for you. Please step back."
The queen obviously took advantage of Yue Rao's humility at the moment, and her mood became better, so she didn't intend to embarrass him.
Yue Rao breathed a sigh of relief. When he went out, he covered his heart and felt that his heart was beating fast.
It seems that every day after entering the palace is like walking on thin ice, always worrying about what to do next, and it seems that there has never been a day when I can be quiet.
When will we be able to calm down completely and stop being afraid and worried?
Late at night, Yue Rao still felt that she could not sleep well. She had been tossing and turning in the past few days, feeling that everything she had gained now was too flashy and too easy to lose.
Just like that Taoyao, she only needs to move her fingers and the preference she worked so hard to get will be gone immediately. All this is too desperate.
Get up from the bed, walk to the dresser and pick up the bottom box.
Opening the box, there was a very small witchcraft doll. Yes, all she could get was because of this witchcraft, which could control His Majesty and make him unable to leave her.
But the price is that he can't sleep all night long every day, and he feels guilty all day long. The guilty conscience will be discovered one day.
Yue Rao's trembling hands put the Wu Gu doll back into the box, and then stuffed it into the bottom layer where it was not easily discovered.
Even the queen didn't know that she had used this method, because she was too afraid of losing everything now, so she could only try to please the queen in this way and complete the assigned task as soon as possible.
He sat back on the bed and let out a long sigh. Even though the night was already deep, he didn't feel sleepy at all.
It's not easy for me to have this opportunity to fly on the branches in my life, so I must seize it, no matter what method I use.
I have never regretted using these methods, because the wealth in the palace is charming. Who would give up this high and mighty life?
What's more, getting His Majesty's favor can also satisfy him, so the most important thing now is how to defeat this Concubine Rong.
Yue Rao's eyes returned to the place where the witchcraft doll had been placed, and suddenly she had an idea in her mind.
Jing Zhao sat on the edge and read a book obediently, while Chu Xue was squeezing Tao Yao's shoulders.
"Your Majesty, I think it's a bit strange that Yue Mei is the latest beauty. Why does she come here every day to say hello? She seems to be very familiar with your Majesty!"
Chuxue muttered in a low voice. Basically, everyone in the harem didn't like their master, but he was the only one who knew what a good person his master was.
"It's obvious that Yue Meiren has other thoughts. I just don't know what she wants to do when she comes here every day. It's really baffling!"
"Have you noticed something is wrong? She comes here so frequently every day, for an hour or two at a time, and she doesn't even have anything to say to me. It's clear that she has ulterior motives."
Tao Yao closed her eyes and enjoyed Chu Xue's massage. It was so comfortable.
She could understand what Yuelao was thinking at a glance. She could only say that the wealth in the palace was indeed charming. If she wanted to maintain such a beautiful life, she could only rely on these crooked ways.
"Having learned from Concubine Ning's mistakes last time, I'd better be more careful and don't be framed by others all the time."
Speaking of this, Chuxue felt aggrieved. It was obvious that their master was really good and had never harmed anyone.
On the contrary, he was always ridiculed by other people, and he never cared about it. I don't know why he always couldn't tolerate his master.
"Don't worry, no one can plot against me."
Taoyao smiled slightly.
Yes, in this place, who else can calculate himself?
Everyone's words and deeds are so childish. She has lived for who knows how many years in this world. How can she care about these mortals whose life span is less than a hundred years?
Jing Zhao, on the other hand, was reading and listening to all this silently. In fact, no matter what the reason was, he hoped that Taoyao would always be favored by Emperor Xuan.
Of course, these things in the harem are nothing, but having such a powerful adoptive mother will definitely help him. At least he doesn't have to be a puppet controlled by the queen like in his previous life.
Thinking about it, what happens in this life will probably not change much from the previous life.
The queen's son was bound to die young, and the concubine's son was also useless.
Now in this life, he has such a powerful adoptive mother as Taoyao, so he doesn't have to be controlled like a puppet like in his previous life.
On this day, Yue Rao came to pay his respects. Taoyao just looked at her with a smile.
Sure enough, these days of wealth are the most nurturing. In just a month or two, Yue Rao has become an exquisite and gorgeous beauty, and is no longer as submissive as she was when she first met her.
"I wonder why Sister Yue came to my place? You have been coming here every day to say hello. Aren't you afraid that if you come too frequently, the Queen will have objections?"
Tao Yao poured a cup of tea herself as she spoke.
"The queen is the master of the harem, and there are many things she has to worry about. The queen is generous, so why would she care about such a trivial matter?"
The current Yue Rao is not at all the same as when she was arrogant in front of Tao Yao. On the contrary, she is a bit more well-behaved.
"When I didn't enter the harem before, I never imagined that there would be so many plots and fights in the harem. On the surface, it looks glorious, but in fact, only I know how much grievances I have suffered in private. Even I don't know. If this is the case, let alone Concubine Rong. I think I will encounter many more."
After saying that, Yue Rao looked at her quite distressedly, as if she were a good sister who really felt the same.
"Why do I remember that you were not like this in front of me? Why did you say that I could get all this? And you thought that the hostility of the people in the harem towards me was justified. Why do you think so now? Have you become so considerate and sensible?"
Tao Yao looked at him and asked pretending to be curious. All she could say was that he was really good at acting.
"I was stupid in the past. Please don't blame me, Concubine Rong. At that time, I just entered the palace and didn't know everything in the harem. Only when you truly feel the same way, can you understand the feeling of sadness. How difficult it is.”
Yue Rao lowered her head in shame. In fact, she did feel these sad feelings, but it didn't matter. If she was willing to endure this, just regard it as the price she had to pay for a prosperous and wealthy life.
