After Chu Yan went back, she took out the handkerchief in her sleeve and looked around.
She still remembered that Mr. Gu's eyes seemed really gentle when he handed over the handkerchief, as if he really wanted to comfort her.
No one has ever comforted her like this, not even the mother-in-law. He seems to be really good.
It is naturally a good thing to get these gentle comforts, but days like this will be inevitable in the future. If you can get comfort once, can you get it a second time?
Chu Yan put the handkerchief under the pillow. It was a gift for herself, so she naturally had to keep it well.
"Yan'er."
Concubine Yun pushed the door open and walked in with a rather uncomfortable look on her face. The imperial concubine's temper was getting more and more irritable these days, and she would always scold them bloody for the slightest trivial matter.
But everyone knew who the culprit was that made the imperial concubine unhappy, but there was nothing they could do.
Who makes His Majesty so obsessed with concubines now?
"Mother concubine."
Just after putting down the handkerchief, Chu Yan was still a little panicked. She raised her head and blinked at Yun Bin.
"But the imperial concubine scolded you again?"
Chu Yan took Yun Bin's hand and sat on the bed, knowing that her life would not be easy, and the same was true for her mother and concubine.
"Well," Concubine Yun nodded, "Since Concubine Mei appeared, His Majesty's thoughts have been entirely on her, so the Concubine is naturally angry."
Yun Bin was really helpless. How could she not know that her daughter had been wronged?
But what can I do? Many times I feel that I am really incompetent!
"Why is that charming concubine so favored by my father? My father has never loved any empress like this before."
Chu Yan was a little confused. In her impression, her father seemed to treat every empress the same way. She had never been as kind to one empress as she is now.
What's more, isn't that charming concubine sent here by Northern Qi? Doesn't his father not mind at all?
"No one can explain this doting thing. In our opinion, that charming concubine is useless and can only use some tricks to seduce people. But in your father's opinion, she is good at everything, so he will naturally be attracted to her. !”
Yun Bin smiled and touched her daughter's head. Just like what these words said, she had never been liked by His Majesty.
His Majesty has always been so indifferent to her, maybe she doesn't have this fate?
Listening to these words, Chu Yan suddenly lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
Suddenly I thought of what Gu Xiao said that day. Everyone's temperament is unique. What looks bad in one person's eyes may look good in another person's eyes?
He also said that he is like a rabbit, his eyes are red when he cries from time to time, which is very cute.
Does he really see himself this way?
Suddenly there was a little warm feeling in her heart. In the past, she also felt that she was too cowardly and incompetent and not lovable at all, but in Gu Xiao's eyes, was she so cute?
I thought of the handkerchief placed under the pillow again, and suddenly felt a little happy.
"Yan'er, remember, if you meet a concubine, don't be as rude as your aunt. Even your aunt was punished by your father, and you can't afford to offend her!"
Concubine Yun warned her daughter carefully, but it was actually a bit bitter to say that she had been in the palace for so many years before she became a concubine, but that charming concubine had been a noble person since she first arrived, but she was promoted to the concubine position in just one month. This was enough. It can be seen that His Majesty really likes her.
Maybe this is really fate. His Majesty just likes Mei Concubine. He will like her no matter what, and he will not tolerate others saying that it is not good at all.
Even the daughter she once loved the most would still be severely punished.
"I see."
Chu Yan nodded absently. All she could think about was the other person and those gentle words of comfort.
In fact, those words of comfort are quite useful. At least now I don't feel so painful in my heart.
…
"Zisu, do you think I look better with this gold hairpin or this jade hairpin?"
Mei Bi sat in front of the bronze mirror, holding two hairpins and gesturing on her head. In fact, with her appearance, everything looks good, but she just likes to compare and choose the most beautiful one.
"Of course it's this golden hairpin!"
Zisu naturally chose the most conspicuous golden hairpin, since in her opinion, Mei's appearance was already the most exquisite and perfect.
"good"
Mei Zhu smiled and nodded, but her smile was a little more disdainful and careless.
When she didn't come to Dachu, she thought it would be such a difficult task. She didn't expect that it was nothing more than this. Didn't it take just a few days to charm His Majesty?
"What's going on with the imperial concubine? I don't think she's a tolerant person."
When it comes to Zheng Yinghuan, Mei Zhu naturally becomes even more disdainful. She is just an old woman. What qualifications does she have to compare with her!
What's more, the daughter he raised is also so ignorant of the rules. Even if she doesn't appear, sooner or later, His Majesty will be bored by him.
"This doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe it's because His Majesty loves the empress so much that he doesn't dare to do anything?"
Zi Su stood behind her with a comb and combed Mei Zhu's hair. Her hair was very long, as bright and smooth as satin.
"How could she not do something? After all, she has lived smoothly in this harem for so many years. My appearance is like a grain of sand to her. Of course she wants to rub the sand away!"
Mei Zhu looked at herself in the bronze mirror. This face was indeed very beautiful. Plus the mandala fragrance firmly captured His Majesty's heart. It was just a trivial matter.
"What do you mean by that?"
Zisu's eyes moved, as if she understood what this meant.
"She's going to take action anyway. Do I have to stand around and let others figure it out? In that case, it's better for us to take action first!"
Mei Zhu glanced at the purple flower placed by the window. His Majesty knew that she loved purple the most, so he found a pot of purple flowers and placed it in her palace.
After this pot withered, the Household Affairs Office sent it over in a steady stream. The key to this problem was that the affairs of the Household Affairs Office in the harem were all managed by the imperial concubine. Whatever happened, it was naturally the imperial concubine's responsibility.
Mei Zhu got up, walked to the window, lowered her head to smell the fragrance of violet, and touched the soft purple petals. It was indeed a good flower.
"Tell me, where is my injury that would make His Majesty the most angry?"
Mei Zhu asked curiously, Your Majesty likes every part of her body, but if you had to choose the most important place, where would it be?
"What do you want to do?"
Zi Su was a little panicked. She would do anything, but she must not endanger herself, especially her most beautiful face.
Mei Zhu suddenly reached out and touched her face, and Zi Su knew that the other person was thinking about her.
His Majesty's favorite thing is of course this exquisite and perfect face.
"No!" Zi Su quickly dissuaded her, "Have you ever known that the most important thing is this face. If something goes wrong and you can't go back, all these plans will be over!"
Zi Su is really anxious. No matter what, she can't gamble with her most important face. If she wins the bet, it won't matter. But what if she loses?
"How could I really gamble with my face? It's just a cover-up to make His Majesty feel distressed. Besides, I value my face very much. How can I be willing to suffer even the slightest harm?"
Mei Zhu smiled and shook her head. She was absolutely sure that she could come up with this method.
I still don’t believe that I can’t fight that noble concubine. She is just an aging woman. As soon as she appears, His Majesty’s eyes will immediately turn to him. This is enough to show how boring this Da Chu’s harem is.
But that's fine, no matter what, as long as it's good for her.
…
Zheng Yinghuan still called the concubines over and reprimanded them. This time, all the concubines were asked to retreat, except Xie Ruling.
"Are you very proud, are you finally seeing me down and out?"
Zheng Yinghuan had a cold face and stared at Xie Ruling with her eyes.
In fact, others could forget it, but she hated Xie Ruling's calm demeanor the most. She remembered that when she first entered the palace, Xie Ruling clearly cared about His Majesty.
Could it be that after going to the cold palace, one's heart can really become cold?
"Your Majesty, you are just joking. Whether I am proud or not is none of your Majesty's business, nor is it your Majesty's business. What's more, His Majesty doesn't care about us at the moment. What he cares about is the concubine!"
Seeing Zheng Yinghuan's appearance at this moment, Xie Ruling was really stunned for a second. Zheng Yinghuan looked really bad recently.
Maybe the more I realize that my complexion is not good, the more I apply makeup and powder to cover up the dullness, but the more I do this, it will only be self-defeating, and the whole person will really look like he is extremely tired.
"Mei concubine?" Zheng Yinghuan recited the title softly, and suddenly laughed disdainfully.
"Yi'er is right. She is just a plaything sent by Beiqi. She only got a little favor from His Majesty because she has a young and beautiful body. Are you all willing to watch her be so arrogant?"
Zheng Yinghuan suddenly stood up, walked step by step to Xie Ruling, and stared into the other person's eyes.
"Can you really turn a blind eye to all this? I remember that in the past, you cared most about His Majesty's love. If it were my sisters in the harem, I would be fine. But she is nothing, she was just sent here A plaything doesn’t deserve these at all!”
"Whether she deserves this or not is not up to us. Your Majesty is willing to give her all this just because he likes her. What can we do?"
Compared with the emotional Zheng Yinghuan, Xie Ruling was much calmer.
She looked at the stinging and madness in Zheng Yinghuan's eyes, and vaguely seemed to see herself in the past. Wasn't she also like this at that time?
I always feel that all other women are unworthy, and I always feel that His Majesty should only like me.
In fact, these are all impossible. Your Majesty is not a loyal and dedicated person to begin with. Her thoughts are wrong. Since they are wrong, then don't persist in them.
She doesn't like His Majesty, and she doesn't care how many women are around His Majesty, let alone which woman His Majesty likes, it's none of her business.
"Do you know how painful my heart has been these past few days? I will always remember her proud face in front of me. I really hate her!"
Crystal tears fell down drop by drop from Zheng Yinghuan's cheeks. She felt wronged and hated it.
Why would His Majesty fall in love with such a woman? What's so good about her? Isn't it just her charming appearance that only seduces people?
"I know you will be a little dissatisfied, why don't we work together to kick this scourge out?"
Zheng Yinghuan suddenly pinched Xie Ruling's arm and smiled mysteriously.
"Does your Majesty know what you are talking about?"
Xie Ruling moved her arm away, not to treat her like a fool.
Zheng Yinghuan's move made it clear that he was just using himself as a pawn to deal with Mei Zhu. Regardless of success or failure, Zheng Yinghuan could stay out of the matter, and His Majesty's anger would only be vented on herself.
How is this possible? Did he really treat her like a fool?
Not to mention that she didn't care about these things at all. Even when she looked at the arrogant and proud Mei concubine, she didn't feel anything. Besides, she didn't like to participate in these fights in the harem.
If you don't think that Mei Zhu's love can last long, and you use sex to make things happen, then you have to be prepared that this face will always be so young and beautiful.
If this face is no longer beautiful, won't His Majesty's love naturally shift?
There are so many beautiful women in the world. If Zheng Yinghuan had to fight one by one, how could he survive? If he had been angry with one by one, he would have pissed himself to death, right?
