Mei Zhu was lying on her side on the lounge chair, and the charcoal fire was lit in the room, which was as warm as spring. She was only wearing a thin layer of gauze, and her bumpy body was looming.
"My lord, this datura incense is really wonderful!"
The slave girl next to Meizhu is also from the Northern Qi Dynasty, her name is Zi Su, and she was specially sent here to serve Meizhu.
"These incense are just the icing on the cake. If there is no such a beautiful brocade, what is the use of the fragrance?"
Mei Zhu closed her eyes and enjoyed the fragrance. It seemed that King Chu was completely addicted to the fragrance. Even such a magnificent Xuanji Palace could generously accommodate her.
"That's what the noble man said."
Zi Su carefully poured a little bit of the fragrant powder into the incense burner. The amount should not be too much each time. A little bit is enough.
"Is your noble lord sad?"
After Zi Su finished processing the fragrant powder, she knelt on the ground and squeezed Mei Zhu's legs. This country was unfamiliar to them. Their hometown was Beiqi.
"Isn't it sad? Who cares about us?" Mei Zhu opened her eyes, her eyes were cold, "What's more, we have more important tasks. Northern Qi is our hometown, so naturally we hope it will be good."
Meizhu's face no longer had the usual enchanting charm, only calm and cold.
Zisu nodded silently.
"What's more, these are not the things we have to worry about at the moment. Concubine Zheng is not someone to be trifled with. She made such a big mistake at the banquet last time, so she must be trying to get revenge on us. "
Mei Zhu narrowed her eyes slightly and carefully recalled the situation in the harem.
The King of Chu did not pay much attention to beauty, and there were not many concubines in the harem. Most of them were concubines who had given birth, so in terms of beauty and appearance, she was undoubtedly the most beautiful.
So King Chu was easily attracted to her, and coupled with the scent of the mandala incense, it was not difficult.
"I heard that Concubine Zheng is in charge of everything in the harem. There is no queen in the harem, and there is Princess Chu Yi. She is so arrogant, domineering and uncultured at a young age. How dare she point her fingers in front of so many people? She is scolded by noble people, maybe this is her mother's intention?"
Zi Su was very angry when she thought about what happened that night. At that time, they were sent by Bei Qi. No matter what, for the sake of Bei Qi, they could not be humiliated like this.
"She's just a spoiled princess. Of course I have thousands of ways to make things difficult for her, but I'm afraid Concubine Zheng will have some difficulties."
Mei Zhu smiled disdainfully, Chu Yi was just a spoiled princess who didn't know how to be humble, so she dared to go crazy in front of so many people.
After all, she has to live in the Chu harem, which means that the food and clothing in this life are all taken care of by Concubine Zheng. It would be easy for Concubine Zheng to make things difficult for her, but the final decision is still made. Your Majesty?
"But it doesn't matter. We didn't come to Dachu to suffer. I wish I could turn this place upside down and never have peace again!"
Mei Zhu stretched out her slender hand and stared at her hand with a very charming smile.
"That's what the noble man said."
Zisu nodded, but when he looked carefully, there was a little tear in his eyes.
In fact, both she and the noble man knew that they were sent to Dachu and they probably would not be able to go back in the future.
But it doesn't matter, they are willing to sacrifice everything for Beiqi and their hometown.
…
Half a month finally passed. As soon as the confinement was lifted, Zheng Yinghuan immediately went to see Chu Yi eagerly.
She knew how painful her daughter would be during this time, so she wanted to comfort her.
"Mother concubine!"
Chu Yi threw herself into Zheng Yinghuan's arms and cried loudly. At this time, she really couldn't bear it anymore. She felt so wronged every day and wanted to lose her temper every day.
Now that I see Zheng Yinghuan, I really want to cry out all the grievances I have felt these days.
"Yier."
Zheng Yinghuan hugged Chu Yi tightly. She knew her daughter would do this, so she hurried over. She didn't expect that she would be so wronged this time.
Your Majesty is really fascinated by that bead. Even his favorite daughter can bear to be scolded. That bead is simply a scourge!
"Why haven't you come to see me yet, Father?"
Chu Yi was twitching, her face full of tears.
"Yi'er, I told you that you must be obedient and sensible now, but you can't be as willful as before, especially in front of your father. You can't speak ill of that Mei Zhu again. Do you understand?"
Zheng Yinghuan held Chu Yi's hand tightly and persuaded her earnestly.
Now is the time when Your Majesty is new to that bead of beauty, so you can't hear a bad word, but don't be stupid again.
"Yeah!" Chu Yi nodded aggrievedly, "It's been so long, why does my father still like her?"
It's not that Chu Yi doesn't know what's going on in the harem. She knows that her father will never be obsessed with a woman forever. No matter how much she likes a woman, she will always feel bored.
Then she is waiting for the day when the beauties of her father's team get tired of it!
"That Mei Zhu is young and beautiful, and her eyes are very seductive. I don't know how your father could be seduced so easily!"
Zheng Yinghuan sighed helplessly. His Majesty obviously didn't like to enter the harem these years, but he didn't expect that at this time, he would be fascinated by a beauty sent by Beiqi?
But he is already this age, how can he fight, and what can he use to fight?
This heart is getting more and more uneasy. It would be great if it is like Chu Yi said, after a few days, he will get tired of that beauties.
She was afraid that His Majesty would become more and more obsessed with Meizhu, and would he be able to do so in the future?
"What a bitch who only knows how to seduce people!"
Chu Yi cursed angrily. Over the years, she had heard how Zheng Yinghuan taught those concubines, and naturally she had learned it through hearing and seeing.
What's more, when Beiqi sent Meizhu over, wasn't it just like sending another toy? That night she pointed at Meizhu's nose and scolded her, so weren't the ministers of Beiqi still indifferent?
Okay, then I will wait slowly, waiting for the day when my father is tired of Mei Zhu, and then she will pay back all the grievances she has suffered!
On the palace road, Zheng Yinghuan and Yuexiang were walking thoughtfully. His Majesty had never come to see her in these days. He was always just looking at the bead. She was really panicked.
"Yi'er is an ignorant person after all. It's better for me to go see His Majesty, lest Yi'er says something wrong again in front of His Majesty."
Zheng Yinghuan raised her head and looked at the sky. She had been in the harem for so many years, but she still felt like something had changed.
"What the empress said, the princess is really willful. She doesn't know how serious this matter is, and she thought it was just a small fight."
Yuexiang had a solemn look on her face. The princess seemed to be really spoiled by her empress and had no idea how serious this matter was.
The reason why the princess is able to live such a good life is entirely because of her majesty's love. The princess should be thinking about how to consolidate this love.
But now His Majesty's attention is focused on others. If the princess makes a noise, it will only make His Majesty even more disgusted, and then the days to come will be really sad.
"I never thought that a foxy girl could really come into the harem and mess up the harem, but His Majesty actually likes this. What should I do?"
It was the first time in so many years that Zheng Yinghuan felt so helpless. She was used to enjoying the smooth sailing in the harem these years, and the concubines were all tidy and obedient.
But this bead came to the harem unexpectedly. She didn't know the details of this bead at all. It was really difficult to deal with it.
When he arrived outside the palace, Zheng Yinghuan could usually go in directly, but this time he was stopped by the palace people outside.
"How dare you stop me?"
Zheng Yinghuan was really angry now. After all, she could still manage the harem in name. How could even a small harem dare to be so bold?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not daring to do that!" The palace servant nodded and said, "His Majesty personally ordered that only the noble Mei Mei should be seen, and the rest of the people should not be seen. The noble Mei Mei will be here later, so I'd better invite you back first."
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Yinghuan was completely panicked. She specially chose today to come here just to make the events of that night slowly fade away in His Majesty's mind.
But I didn’t expect that Your Majesty would let Mei Zhu accompany you all these days. I’m afraid he really forgot about her, right?
"The royal concubine?"
Meizhu wore a purple skirt, which made her look even more enchanting. The purple fox cloak she wore was priceless. It was specially given to her by Chu Yu because he was afraid that she would freeze.
Zheng Yinghuan turned her head slightly and frowned slightly in displeasure when she saw Mei Zhu's enchanting face.
The most important thing about concubines is that they are virtuous and virtuous. How can one look so charming? Is it really a fox that only seduces people?
"You don't know, the Imperial Concubine, that when I am with His Majesty, His Majesty doesn't like anyone to come and disturb me, not even the Imperial Concubine."
Mei Zhu smiled very charmingly. This noble concubine was really careless. She did not know how many stumbling blocks she had created in private. She looked down upon even the slightest trick!
"You also know that I am still a noble concubine? You are just a noble person. Why don't you bow to me when you see me?"
Zheng Yinghuan turned around and looked at Mei Zhu head-on. She tried her best to hold back the anger in her heart. No matter how angry she was, she couldn't let it out here.
"But what I am wearing is a cloak given by His Majesty himself, which is priceless. What if I soil the cloak when I bend down to salute? Wouldn't it just ruin His Majesty's thoughts?"
As Mei Zhu spoke, she lowered her head and glanced at the purple fox cloak wrapped around her body. It was indeed quite warm around her body.
"That's all, then go in and I won't bother you. You can serve His Majesty well."
Zheng Yinghuan left a cold word and turned to leave. She also knew that His Majesty was not willing to see other people, so she simply did not go in and disturb him.
Meizhu looked at Zheng Yinghuan's leaving figure and raised her eyebrows proudly. She was not unaware of these little tricks used by the harem to gain popularity.
"Your Majesty, how can that noble person be so arrogant? As the princess said, he is just a toy sent by Bei Qi. How dare he climb on Your Majesty's head like this?"
Yuexiang's whole body was trembling. She had been arrogant and domineering around the imperial concubine for so many years, but she had never suffered a blow. How could such a small noble dare to be so presumptuous!
So what if I am not favored by His Majesty now? Can I still guarantee that I will not fall out of favor in this lifetime?
As long as a noble person falls out of favor, isn't it the imperial concubine's will to do whatever he wants?
No matter how proud you are now, you will be disappointed in the future. It is the unchanging truth in the harem that things will take turns, so she will wait for that day!
