Chapter 52 Lin Changzai is in trouble

Liang Chengbi, however, was quite unconvinced. "What kind of trouble could there be? You said it yourself, the Emperor never pays attention to the harem, let alone the order of the concubines. He only cares about the people he cares about. In this selection, only two people were selected, one is Consort Lin and the other is Bai Consort. Consort Lin was chosen by the Emperor before she even entered the palace. It's not surprising for me to give her a hand."

Chun Qing felt that this was not entirely appropriate and tried to persuade him, "Your Majesty, although that is true, the situation these past few days has shown that the Emperor is more interested in the concubine Bai. If it were according to palace rules, it would be fine and no one would find fault with it. But now that the rules have been broken and Concubine Lin has been invited to sleep with him, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

"That Bai Ying is from Changchun Palace. Am I honoring her and making wedding clothes for Concubine Meng for nothing?"

Liang Chengbi rolled his eyes at Chunqing and said, "If you weren't my confidant, I would have suspected you were a spy sent by Changchun Palace just based on this statement."

With just one sentence, Chunqing shut up and didn't dare to say another word of advice.

She sighed slightly, feeling exhausted from serving such a headstrong master.

While the master and servant were talking, someone from the Imperial Household Department suddenly asked to see them.

Liang Chengbi saw that person coming in and told him about how Song Xiyue was demoted to a concubine and moved to the North Fifth Residence.

Liang Chengbi was in the Yiku Palace and had not left the house at all, so he was unaware of this matter.

She was shocked to hear the news. This newly selected concubine had angered the emperor and was deposed before she even slept with him. This had never happened since the time of the previous emperor. This had set a precedent.

"Is this news true? Is it really because of the Song family that the emperor offended him?"

The eunuch replied, "The news is true. This is the Emperor's personal decree. The Imperial Concubine, Lady Lin, and Lady Bai are all present."

It’s Meng Yan again!

Liang Chengbi closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves.

She didn't believe that the emperor would demote a noble lady for the two concubines who had just entered the palace and had not yet been favored. Song Xiyue's father was the governor of Qizhou, and his official position was not low.

Only Meng Yan, it must be her!

After sending the eunuch away, Liang Chengbi's face turned cold. She was determined to help Lin Yanrong take the position and take away Meng Yan's favor.

In Yongshou Palace, Lin Yanrong took the jar of rose jade cream from Yinqiao and unscrewed the lid impatiently. The rich rose fragrance hit her face. She sniffed it lightly and smiled with satisfaction.

Even when she was reading the novel, she had longed for the Jade Dew Cream. This beauty cream was like divine nectar, even more miraculous than modern top-tier cosmetics. After using it, Lin Yanrong in the book was transformed into a completely different person, radiant and her beauty surpassed everyone else.

So, at this critical moment of serving the emperor in bed, she ordered Yinqiao to go to the Imperial Hospital to get the Yu Lu ointment.

Although she and Xiahou Yu have not yet established a relationship, he will be used by her sooner or later, so what if it's a moment earlier?

Lin Yanrong smiled softly, stood up and ordered, "Prepare hot water and serve me a bath."

She wanted to use it immediately.

After the whole palace had an audience with the emperor, even though she was reluctant, she had to admit that Meng Yan was a rare beauty in the world, delicate, charming, bright and alluring. No wonder the book wrote that before her, Lu Haozhi had always favored Meng Yan.

Not only that, for some reason, Meng Yan looked somewhat similar to the jealous female secretary who stole the man she had a crush on in modern times and made her hate him.

Judging from the looks of this body, I really am powerless to compete with her.

In the bathing room, white steam was filled. Lin Yanrong lay on the wall of the bathtub, allowing the palace maid to pour hot water on her.

She can't lose to a woman with the same face in both lives!

Lin Yanrong narrowed her eyes and thought to herself with gritted teeth.

At night, after washing up, Meng Yan sat in front of the dressing table to smooth her face.

She skillfully opened the box, took out the moisturizing cream she had mixed, scooped some into her palm with a silver spoon, rubbed it and pressed it on her face.

The benefit of being proficient in medical skills is that you can treat headaches, fevers, and apply rouge and powder yourself.

Although this facial cream is not as effective as Xiahou Yu's Jade Dew Cream, it is clean and reliable. You don't have to worry about it being tampered with or having to repay a favor.

Humph, Xiahou Yu is very capable, she admits it and won’t argue with him!

Doukou ran over from the side hall, covered in hot and humid steam, and threw herself into her arms.

Looking at the little girl's rosy apple-like face, Meng Yan rubbed her head and said, "Doukou has taken a bath, so it's time to go to bed."

Doukou still couldn't speak, but she would look at her with a smile. Looking at her smiling face, her heart was always warm.

Doukou pointed to the box of facial cream on the table and looked at her with longing.

Meng Yan was slightly surprised, but she laughed in the next moment, "Doukou wants to apply perfume too? Okay, mom will apply it for you." As she said that, she scooped a small piece from the facial cream, rubbed it on Doukou's face, and made the child giggle.

Her facial cream is only used to moisturize the skin. The ingredients are not complicated and it can be used by children without any problem.

"This little girl is so young, but she already knows how to be conceited."

Meng Yan coaxed the child and said jokingly.

"The princess is now being raised by the Empress, following her around every day. Isn't she influenced by her mother? She knows all this now. She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up."

Ruizhu said this in a joking manner, and looking at the harmonious scene in front of her, she felt both relieved and emotional.

Today is the first night that the newly-elected young lady sleeps with the Empress, yet Her Majesty is so calm, as if nothing happened!

This is better, it is better than the Queen sitting in the palace and being restless and furious, or simply asking them to come up with ideas and think of ways to stop the rectification.

Last time, when she was angry with the Emperor, the Empress stopped the carriage carrying the concubines for the night. The Empress Dowager summoned the Empress, scolded her, and even punished her by making her copy the "Women's Virtues" a hundred times. Although the Empress did not regret it at all, she still received the punishment.

In Ruizhu's heart, as long as the queen is happy, nothing else matters.

However, even so, she still despised the Imperial Noble Concubine's character.

The emperor never mentioned the matter of selecting a new lady to sleep with him, but she was so eager that she rushed to select someone for the emperor and then rushed to send that person to the dragon bed.

She is showing off her virtue in this way, isn't she just hoping that the emperor will look at her more?

He has no ability and cannot compete with his own queen, so he comes up with this bad idea.

If she could climb onto the dragon bed in the Yangxin Palace by herself, Ruizhu would still give her a thumbs up. But now she is hiding her head and showing her tail, how can anyone look down on her!

The master and servant were each preoccupied with their own concerns when Dong Sanbao, the head eunuch of Changchun Palace, suddenly came in three steps at a time, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Concubine Lin has been in trouble!"

Meng Yan frowned slightly and glanced at him. "Isn't she going to the emperor's bed tonight? What could have happened? What happened? Did she anger the emperor and get kicked off the bed by him?"

Dong Sanbao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "No, Madam, after dinner today, Consort Lin suddenly became itchy all over. Large red rashes appeared all over his skin. He is now too sick to get out of bed!"
