The Queen Mother introduced Su Ruohua to Emperor Xiao Ping.

"The day before yesterday, I went to the Royal Temple to burn incense. It was snowing, and the mountain path was difficult to walk on. When I was climbing the stairs, I slipped and almost fell. It was this girl who was quick-witted and helped me up."

The empress dowager took Su Ruohua's hand and pushed her in front of Emperor Xiao Ping.

Su Ruohua lowered her head, slightly turned sideways, revealing her fair neck with a soft curve and her chest slightly covered by a veil, and bowed softly to Emperor Xiao Ping.

"Your humble servant Su Ruohua pays respects to Your Majesty."

The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction and said:

"She's a well-behaved girl, and I like her quite a bit. I also heard she's Concubine Zhengui's sister, so I brought her into the palace. From now on, I'll let her accompany an old woman like me in fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures. Concubine Zhengui, do you have any objections?"

The Queen Mother looked at Su Wanti with a pair of kind eyes full of deep meaning.

Su Wanti frowned and stared at Su Ruhua. After a moment, she smiled softly, as gentle as a summer lotus.

"It is a blessing for my concubine sister to be able to accompany the Empress Dowager. I am so happy. How could I have any objection? If you want to live in the Empress Dowager's palace, please tell the Empress if you need anything."

When she was promoted to noble concubine, Emperor Xiao Ping wanted her to assist the empress in handling harem affairs, but she had just given birth and did not want to work too hard, so she declined.

Besides, the queen is very capable, and what's more rare is that she has no other thoughts. Su Wanti is very confident in her and does not want to share her power to manage the harem.

That's why she told Su Ruohua that if she needed anything, she should go to the Queen and not bother her.

At this moment, the system, which had been missing for several days, suddenly said: [Host, according to this system's detection, she is here to seduce the target person and share your favor. It is recommended that the host take precautions early.]

Su Wanti mentally praised the system, "Little 92, you're quite clever this time. You're right, she's here to seduce the target, but I don't need to take action to deal with her."

She knew Su Ruo's intention the first time she saw her painting.

Today, Su Ruohua dressed up carefully, but why does her outfit look so familiar?

She was wearing a honey-colored soft silk skirt, with her long black hair tied up and wearing only two simple gold hairpins. Her eyes were originally narrow and long, but today they were painted to close the corners of her eyes, giving them a slightly almond-shaped look.

Su Wanti covered her lips and chuckled. Isn't this the outfit she wore at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet last year?

I think Su Ruohua really thought that the emperor fell in love with her at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, so she deliberately dressed up like she did at that time in order to attract the emperor's attention.

She stole a glance at Emperor Xiao Ping and found that he was looking at Su Ruhua's outfit with a frown on his face. She thought he had noticed it too.

Su Wanti raised her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. The day and night companionship during these days had given her a deeper understanding of Emperor Xiao Ping.

He still appears calm on the surface, but every time he strikes, he leaves his opponent no chance of survival and his methods are ruthless.

Now that Su Ruohua has walked into a trap and wants to provoke Emperor Xiao Ping, she will just watch quietly as Su Ruohua seeks her own death.

Emperor Xiao Ping stayed in the Cining Palace for a while and then left with Su Wanti.

In the inner hall, the sandalwood incense was curling, and the Queen Mother scolded Su Ruhua with a cold face.

"Didn't you say you could win the emperor's favor? Why is it that the emperor didn't even glance at you today?"

Su Ruohua lowered her eyes slightly, very respectfully, and said softly:

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. I have some tricks up my sleeve. If I can find an opportunity to serve the Emperor, I will use all my skills to make the Emperor's heart rest on me forever."

The six months she spent with the deposed prince were not in vain. In order to serve the deposed prince's subordinates and to serve the deposed prince well and gain his trust, she practiced a lot of skills with all her heart.

Before entering the palace, she had mastered these skills to perfection. She could wrap her body around a man as softly as if she had no bones, and a pair of bare hands could make his whole body numb, and finally even his bones became soft, and he would let her do whatever she wanted in bed.

None of the deposed prince's group could withstand her skills. She believed that if Emperor Xiao Ping touched her, he would be powerless to resist.

Moreover, her elder sister is very boring. She only knows how to be a virtuous woman and has no interest in romance at all.

If Emperor Xiao Ping were to be with her once, he would definitely forget about his boring and poor elder sister.

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said coldly, "You better hurry up and don't delay my son's important matter."

After she finished speaking, she raised her chin to her trusted nanny, who understood and took out a small white paper bag from her sleeve.

The nanny placed the paper package in Su Ruohua's palm and said, "This is an aphrodisiac made by a master outside the palace. It's so powerful that even ten strong men can't resist it. Keep it well. It will help you succeed."

Su Ruohua lowered her head shyly, holding the packet of medicine powder tightly in her palm.

Her lowered eyelids hid the ambition in her eyes.

If she were to gain the favor of Emperor Xiao Ping, she would find a way to kill the empress dowager and the deposed crown prince and become the emperor's favorite concubine. The wealth, glory, treasures and brocades that would be within her reach would be much better than the empty promises of the deposed crown prince, wouldn't that be?

Su Ruohua lived in the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace for some time, and after figuring out Emperor Xiao Ping's daily routine, she began to take action.

Every morning, after Emperor Xiao Ping left court, he would review memorials in the Qinzheng Hall, which would take at least an hour and sometimes several hours.

When Emperor Xiao Ping was handling government affairs in the Qinzheng Hall, no one would disturb him unless there was an emergency.

Su Ruohua chose this time period.

On this day, after Su Ruohua confirmed that Emperor Xiao Ping had entered the Qinzheng Hall, she appeared outside the door of the Hall carrying a small and exquisite food box.

"The Empress Dowager sent her maid to bring some snacks to the Emperor." Her voice was sweet.

Eunuch De knew that she was serving the Empress Dowager, so he did not stop her and let her in. He only told her to leave after setting the snacks and not to disturb the Emperor.

Su Ruohua naturally agreed.

She walked lightly into the hall, then stopped in front of the coffee table, opened the food box, and first took out a small incense burner. The incense burner was filled with misty green smoke and emitted a strange fragrance.

The strange sweet fragrance enters the chest with the breath, making the heart warm up instantly, and then this heat rushes to the limbs and bones, making the hands and feet numb.

Soon, this person will feel like something is missing in their heart and needs to be filled——

"What a nice smell--" said Emperor Xiao Ping, who was reviewing memorials with his head down. He raised his eyes, and a faint red light was dancing in them.

Su Ruohua looked at his expression and felt secretly happy.

The Queen Mother's medicine was indeed effective. She just burned the medicine in an incense burner, and the effect was so strong.

Su Ruohua raised her voice in a tender and gentle manner. She untied the laces at the collar of her cloak, and the cloak suddenly slid to the cold, inky ground.

"Your Majesty, Ruohua sees that you are tired. Let Ruohua help you relieve your fatigue." Her voice was so soft and charming that it could drip water.

Su Ruohua had seductive eyes and was wearing a light pink dress as she walked over with lotus steps.

A dark light flashed in Emperor Xiao Ping's eyes. He raised his chin slightly and just looked at her.
